Chapter 1105 This misunderstanding is serious!

tter to just kill him."Wife, I didn't intentionally let others see my body," Zong Yu said with some grievance."She appeared out of nowhere.""From now on, you are not allowed to take off your clothes o...Chapter 1105 This misunderstanding is huge!

"Oh, I understand. Tell the Marquis I'll be there in a moment."

She got up from the storeroom, moving sluggishly and not really wanting to go out.

From that day onwards, she indeed deliberately avoided Ah Yu, fearing he would continue to inquire about the jade pendant.

Fortunately, the Four Nations Trade Conference was being meticulously prepared for at this time. As the commander responsible for maintaining both internal and external security of the conference, Arvo was much busier than usual. Every morning, he had to go straight from his quarters to the barracks for meetings, strategizing, and training.

Sometimes, even when he returns home, he will bring subordinates to his study for meetings.

At the same time, envoys from the Three Kingdoms came to visit. If something were to happen in Daxixi, it would be like pouring gasoline on a fire and sparking war.

Besides, she now knew there was a blood feud between Xixia and Daxia. At this trade fair, Xixia would absolutely not compete honestly and leave peacefully.

She should probably remind Ah Yu about this just in case.

She carried out a dried silverfish from the storeroom, along with two boxes of high-quality silk. West Xia was located in the northwest and mostly consisted of loess plateau. Due to the climate and geographical conditions, they couldn't produce such fine silk there.

Therefore, all the people of Xixia greatly cherished Da Xi's fine produce.

This seems to be the same as a gift someone gave during the last time House Hou held an opening banquet. She just happened to bring it out when she saw it.

Unexpectedly, the thing was quite heavy. Fang Jinshu's two hands couldn't hold it. She shouted to the outside of the door.

"Little Moon, come help me, the things are too heavy."

As soon as she finished speaking, the storeroom door creaked open, and everything in her hand was taken away.

Fang Jinshi was still puzzled, wondering when Xiaoyue had become so strong. The two wooden boxes filled with fabric were heavy, but she effortlessly carried them all at once, including the fish jerky and cloth.

But after things were moved, her vision was unobstructed. She looked up, and the person in front of her was Xiaoyue.

Zong Yu stared at her quietly, his voice laced with a hint of sorrow.

"Jinxiu, what have you been busy with these days Why can't I ever see you"

He had to rely on his maidservant's face to find his wife at home.

If it weren't for Xiaoyue bringing him here, I probably wouldn't have seen her today.

Fang Jinxiu either went back to her room after Zong Yu fell asleep or went to sleep in advance before he returned. Zong Yu knew she wasn't asleep, but he didn't expose her.

After returning from Jing Wangfu, she became strange.

Zongyu had already asked King Jing for information, but that man rarely spoke the truth. Fu Shangyuan didn't want to say anything, and no one could find out.

"Ayu, you, how did you find me yourself I was just about to go look for you."

Zong Yu held something in one hand and grasped Fang Jinxiu's hand with the other, afraid she would run away again for some reason.

"Alright, let's go back to the room and talk."

"How do I do these things"

Today, she was caught by Zongyu, and coincidentally, she also wanted to remind him of some things. She nodded in agreement to go back to his room with him.

and wasn't planning on making any more excuses to leave.

"Take all of these things back, they'll be useful."

Zongyu glanced at the over fifty-centimeter fish bone, “This, isn’t your treasure”

"What are you going to give someone"

If it is to be taken out to eat, Jinxiu would have Xiaoyue fetch it and deliver it directly to the kitchen.

Since she came to get it herself, there must be another purpose.

"Well, you sure do know everything, don't you"

"Besides these, I also sorted out a lot of things."

"This Quadruple Nations Trade Fair is a great money-making opportunity. Even if the Northern Border region is poor and struggling, they're sending Princess Tana out to make money for their family."

The other two countries, Umeng and Xixia, a trade fair isn't just a good opportunity to exchange specialties We can sell what they don't have at a high price.

"Or exchange in large quantities for the materials and minerals they had before."

Although Daxixi is vast and resource-rich, its mineral production and reserves are indeed lower than those of the other two countries.

Last time, Xizhou went to war for that newly discovered red iron ore vein.

In this age of cold weapons, the iron reserves were incredibly important to a nation.

This is probably the main reason why Umeng obediently participated in the trade fair this time.

We can't win in a fight, and we can't take it by force. We can only buy it with money.

Fāng Jǐnxiù has already rolled up her sleeves and prepared to give the other party a thorough thrashing.

The two of them chatted as they walked.

Zongyu didn't expect that Jinshu was actually preparing to do business with people from other Three Kingdoms.

"By the way, what did you want to see me about"

Returning to the entrance of the courtyard, he handed things to the servants and told them to take them inside and put them away first.

He then scooped up Fang Jinshu in his arms and headed towards the couple's bedroom.

Fang Jinxiu blushed slightly. Now that the Hou residence was bustling with activity, there were many servants in it alone. In their main courtyard, there were more than twenty maidservants, housekeepers, and attendants sweeping and serving inside and out.

She was escorted by Zongyu past over twenty people, the whole way being watched, even someone with thick skin couldn't bear it.

She buried her head slightly into his chest and punched him twice with her fist, not in a good mood.

These two moves were practically flirting with Zong Yu's honor, painless yet leaving him feeling a strange itch in his heart.

"As a marquis now, you should behave yourself in front of servants. Otherwise, tomorrow there will be even more gossip about you in the capital!"

Hearing this, Zong Yu not only had no intention of stopping and letting her down, but instead kissed her face that was lifted up.

Her face, below, was flushed a deep red.

This guy, how is he becoming more and more shameless

"This is my manor, let them see it."

"If you care about those idle talks, I'll take care of them."

The way he handled discipline was quite frightening. Having spent too much time in the military camp, the servants at home couldn't stomach that ironclad military code of conduct.

Don't let the Hou Mansion come up with another rumor about mistreating servants later on.

"Forget it, forget it. I've never cared about gossip anyway. I'm just worried it might affect Zong Bai and Yu Lian's future marriage."

The children have grown up now, they don't care about the reputation of Hou Mansion anymore, but there are rules in the capital city, and if the siblings want to marry well, they still need to consider some face.

That's true.

She thought Zongyu was going to let her go, but unexpectedly he tightened his arms and quickened his pace, only shortening the time they were showing affection in front of others.

Fang Jinshu's mouth twitched.

Well, I guess what I just said was pointless.

She struggled to get down once inside.

"Now you can put me down, I'm not missing any arms or legs and I'm perfectly fine. Why do you always just carry me around like that"

Zongyu refused to let go.

"Sometimes I wish I could hold you every day, keep you close to me, and take you everywhere with me."

He held Fang Jinshu in his arms, sitting on the bed. He buried his head in her delicate and fragrant neck, his voice filled with reluctance and longing.

Fang Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, then felt a pang of guilt and reached out to hug Zongyu's body.

During this time, she was too preoccupied with worrying that Ah Yu would ask her about the jade pendant. She hadn't realized that by always avoiding him, she might be sending a signal of coldness and disdain in his eyes.

Well, this is a big misunderstanding.

Fang Jinxiu only realized how cold and heartless she had been this past period. No wonder Ah Yu, despite his reserved nature, publicly held her to declare his sovereignty.

She liked him, treasured him dearly. If she didn't care for him so much, she wouldn't have tied herself up in knots like this.

No, just explaining with words probably won't ease the pain in my husband's heart. I need to take some direct action.

She took the initiative, straddling Zong Yu and pinning him down.

He slowly leaned down, his lips meeting hers, to her stunned surprise.back of his hand without mercy, leaving Gu Liusheng's fair skin red."Hmph, what a cruel beauty.""Those three outside, are they your lovers" Gu Liusheng asked boldly, since Zong Yu wasn't around at th...
