If they die at the hands of Zong Yu's wife, I will personally help Xiao Xiao Hu seek justice and make her pay for it.Upon hearing this, the couple immediately stopped arguing. Mr. Zong still held a...Chapter 1178: Whoever Dares To Touch His Wife, He Will Take Their Life

Looking at his son's anxious and worried expression, Fu Shangyuan suppressed the anger in his heart. This kid was worried about the family reputation, wasn't he

If the situation were reversed today, and he had not succeeded in taking this position but instead became a prisoner, would Dong'er plead for him in the same way

Fu Shangyuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold and assessing.

Donghuer had never seen his father look at him like this, no, she had!

Before they were father and son, the emperor would look at him with that cold, heartless gaze.

"Father, your son only wishes to prevent you from committing too much bloodshed."

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the hearts of the court are not yet completely settled. The humble servant truly means no disrespect."

Under Dong'er's explanation, Fu Shangyuan's face finally looked much better, and he was not as cold anymore.

Zongyu stood aside, saying nothing. He just realized that Fu Shangyuan's true personality might not be as gentle and harmless as they had first perceived.

I pretended to be weak in order to mislead the royal family and court officials.

Now that he was emperor, holding all the power, he felt there was no need to pretend anymore.

Fu Shangyuan indeed meant that.

"Alright, for the sake of the prince, I shall spare their lives this time. However, if there is another such incident, I will show no mercy."

Dong'er instantly let out a breath of relief.

The few surviving guards all knelt down to express their gratitude and, as they left, cast grateful glances at Dong'er.

Fu Shangyuan and Zong Yu's conversation was interrupted before it could end by Dong'er, who suddenly barged in. He was about to continue when he noticed Dong'er still standing there.

"You go out too."

Fu Shangyuan said to Dong'er.

After what just happened, Dong'er became a little afraid of Fu Shangyuan. She instinctively moved closer to Zong Yu, as if seeking his protection.

This unconscious reliance stung Fu Shangyuan's eyes, his expression immediately turning gloomier.

"You suddenly barged in for him"

Fu Shangyuan's face was even more terrifying than before. Dong'er nervously swallowed her saliva.

Zongyu sensed that the atmosphere was wrong. He was also always prepared, in case Fu Shangyuan dared to harm Dong'er, he would protect the child in time.

"Father, please spare my godfather."

"The stepfather and stepmother never intended to compete with anyone. Their son grew up with them and understood them best."

"Actually, the stepmother's only wish is to live peacefully in the mountains of Xizhou. My son speaks the truth."

Don't worry, Dong'er is really anxious. Her foster parents are kind and have never cared about power.

But if the Emperor really pushed them too far, with their abilities, it’s not certain who would win or lose.

Both sides were his most important relatives. Dong'er didn't want to see anything happen to either of them, and he didn't want to see his father and adoptive parents fight.

Therefore, one can only try their best to plead for leniency.

But Dong'er didn't know that the more she pleaded for Zong Yu's honor, the angrier Fu Shangyuan became.

If Dong'er wasn't the only remaining child of the Luo clan in this world, he most likely would have killed this child long ago.

Doting is real, but if he develops a wandering heart and starts turning his elbow outward, then don't blame him for not being polite!

This matter has nothing to do with you, do not test my patience, I will say it again, get out!

Dong'er trembled all over, but her feet remained rooted to the spot.

Today, no matter what, he couldn't let his father harm his godfather.

My stepmother is unlike ordinary women; she cares most about her husband. If my father were to kill him, my stepmother would definitely use every means at her disposal to get revenge on my father.

He finally found his biological father and really doesn't want to lose him.

"Father Emperor, your son begs you."

"My son can pledge his life, his foster father would never try to steal your throne."

Fu Shangyu's eyes narrowed slightly, his face full of displeasure.

"Did you vouch for him with your life"

His expression looked like he was about to order someone to chop Dong'er's head off the next second, his eyes swirling with rage.

"Fu Shangyuan, calm down!"

Zong Yu's direct call to Fu Shangyuan by his grand name thoroughly enraged him. Zong Yu originally only wanted to awaken Fu Shangyuan's divine consciousness, even if all his past actions were put on.

But Zong Yu was certain that Dong'er's filial piety wasn't feigned. As a father himself, he wouldn't have been able to miss something as obvious as this.

"Good, very good."

"You dare call my name directly, do you know this is a capital offense"

"Zongyu, this is you asking for death!"

Fang Jinshi outside the study was in a panic because she couldn't get in.

The guards at the gate, for some reason, were called inside. After a short while, they all rushed out in panic.

Fang Jinxiu's eyes lit up, and she quickly hid behind the artificial mountains at the back of the imperial study during this lull. Less than a meter in front of her was the window of the imperial study. The window wasn't closed tightly, and through the slight gap, she could hear the voices of the people inside talking.

As soon as Fang Jinshu approached, she heard Fu Shangyuan's furious voice saying Zong Yu was looking for death. Without thinking too much, she directly broke the window and rushed into the study.

The loud bang also caught the attention of the other three people in the room. When Zong Yu saw who had broken into the window, his face drained of all color.

"Brocade" She must not trust herself, that's why she followed me into the palace.

The situation isn't good right now. In fact, he was mentally prepared before entering the palace, knowing that Fu Shangyuan summoning him couldn't be for anything good.

Even if he wanted to kill himself, Zong Yu was confident he could escape.

But these are all based on the premise that only he is involved. Things might be different if we factor in other people.

After all, there are many palace guards and imperial soldiers inside the palace. Altogether, there are probably over ten thousand people.

"Fang Jinshu"

Fu Shangyuan glared at the shattered window, his nostrils flaring with anger.

Well, well, well. This heavily guarded palace is a joke now. Even someone like Fang Jinxiu, a woman with no martial arts skills, managed to get in.

Moreover, he directly entered the Imperial Study.

The guards stationed outside the study heard the commotion and rushed back to protect him. Fu Shangyuan saw this group of useless people and was furious.

"What use are you to me"

"This time, you go to die yourselves!"

The leading guard saw Fang Jinshu and the broken window, his face ashen.

He knelt with a simple sound, the guards behind him followed suit, kneeling all over the ground, trembling throughout their bodies. They knew today was the day they couldn't escape death.

The Imperial Study was guarded by guards both before and after, as well as on the left and right. There were also patrolling imperial soldiers in the palace. I really don't know how the wife of Marquis Wuding managed to break in.

"Your Majesty, my minister is willing to accept any punishment, even death. But before I am punished, please allow us to apprehend the thief who broke into your study and send him to the Heavenly Prison."

As soon as the captain of the guard finished speaking, Zong Yu with a loud bang used both hands to forcefully break free from the iron chains that bound him.

The iron chain hanging from the ceiling seemed like a joke, mocking their past actions.

It turned out that Marquis Wuding could completely break free from the iron chains. He just didn't feel like breaking free.

Zong Yu walked in front of Fang Jinxiu, shielding his wife behind him, his eyes turning cold and menacing.

Whoever dares to touch his wife, he will take their life.

Even if the other party is the emperor.rd. She'll guide you there.After finishing her words, Yuan Xiangli secretly slipped a bag of powder into her daughter's hand."Where had Zong Qianyue ever done such a thing A jolt of surprise ran thro...
