Blackening starts from the golden years

After getting off the carriage, Yuan Xudong walked over to Zhao Pan'er and the other girls, looking at the collapsed Zhao's Teahouse in front of him. The house had collapsed, and the ground was covered with charred wood and bricks. Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but sigh softly and murmured:
"It is God's will. From now on, I will stay in the palace and take good care of my husband and children."

Hearing what Zhao Pan'er said, Sun Sanniang beside her laughed and said:
"This is actually quite good, Pan'er. You should stay in the palace from now on, never go out of the front door or the back door, and be a good and virtuous princess."

Hearing this, Song Yinzhang on the side also said:
"Sister, I think what Sister Sanniang said makes sense. You are the future princess consort of my husband. It is not easy for you to show up in public. You should stay in the backyard of the palace from now on. You will be responsible for making tea, Sister Haohao will be responsible for singing, Sister Sanniang will be responsible for making tea, fruit and snacks, and I will be responsible for playing the pipa to liven up the atmosphere. It would be great if we sisters could serve my husband together, right?"

"Yeah, that's good."

Sun Sanniang smiled excitedly and said:

"I feel happy just thinking about it, Yin Zhang, you are the one with the best ideas."

"No, I was just saying it casually. I just think that the most important thing for us is to serve our husband well."

Song Yinzhang said shyly with a blush on her face, and then she lowered her head, looking very shy, which was really pitiful and charming.

Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong reached out and hugged her into his arms, smiling very gently:

"It's no wonder that your husband loves you so much. Now, Yinzhang also knows how to love your husband. That's great."

"Husband~~"

Song Yinzhang softly called Yuan Xudong "husband", and then snuggled in his arms with a happy and sweet face, gently sniffing the pleasant scent on his body, feeling full of happiness and sweetness, and didn't want to be separated from him.

Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her soft body, gradually becoming aroused.

Song Yinzhang nestled in his arms, leaning against him tightly. He was moved, and she felt it at the first moment. Her pretty face immediately turned red with shame, and she whispered shyly:
"Husband, you..."

"Huh? What's wrong with me?"

Yuan Xudong asked in a low voice. His right hand slowly moved down along Song Yinzhang's back, and finally stopped at her perky buttocks. He gently pressed inwards. Song Yinzhang immediately moaned softly, her face flushed, and she whispered shyly:

"Husband, you, you are a bully."

"Didn't you say you would serve your husband well?"

Yuan Xudong leaned close to Song Yinzhang's ear, gently sucked her small earlobe and smiled:

"Are you deceiving your husband? Don't you want to serve your husband?"

"No, you, you bullied me."

Song Yinzhang was very shy, and Yuan Xudong quickly let go of her a little, but still held her in his arms. There was no other way, he had to hold Song Yinzhang in front of him to cover her, because it was disgraceful.

Next, after instructing the palace's servants to send a set of imperial porcelain and some famous paintings and calligraphy that were kept in the herbal medicine shop opposite Zhao's teahouse back to the palace, Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er and several other girls got back into the carriage and continued to drive to the palace's property, a restaurant where Sun Sanniang's son Fu Zifang was temporarily placed.

……

At this time, in the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Tokyo, Fu Zifang was eating chicken legs and drinking fruit drinks. Next to him sat a subordinate who was sent by Yuan Xudong to find him.

It was Yuan Xudong's idea to place Fu Zifang in the restaurant. If he has the ability in the future, the restaurant can be handed over to him to run it. But if not, he can just be a handyman in the restaurant. Yuan Xudong won't support him anyway. As for whether his mother Sun Sanniang will give him money in private, Yuan Xudong doesn't care. As long as Sun Sanniang does not harm the interests of the palace, she receives a monthly allowance from the palace, which is enough to support her son like a parasite. Of course, it is impossible for him to live a very luxurious life, but it is enough to be comparable to the average wealthy family in Tokyo.

All in all, Yuan Xudong did not think highly of Fu Zifang, an ungrateful man who didn't want his own mother. Yuan Xudong would never let him set foot into the palace.

Let's get back to the point. Fu Zifang was eating meat and drinking fruit drinks while shouting loudly:
"When will my mother come? By the way, what is she doing in Tokyo? Did she send you to find me?"

Turning his head to look at Fu Zifang who was eating and drinking, the palace guard replied indifferently:

"do not know."

Fu Zifang curled his lips and said:
"Do you have any money? Lend me one tael of silver. When my mother comes, I'll ask her to pay it back to you."

"I don't have any money, why do you want to borrow money?"

"You're lying. If you didn't have any money, would you buy me this new dress and bring me to this restaurant for dinner?"

Fu Zifang stretched out his hand to the palace guard for money and said:
"Lend me a coin so I can buy a present for my mother." "I don't have any money. I won't lend you any."

The palace guard glanced at Fu Zifang, whose mouth was full of oil, and said indifferently:
"If you want to buy a gift for your mother, go earn money yourself."

"Where can I earn money now? It's just one tael of silver. You're so stingy."

Fu Zifang said with some annoyance, he was a little smart, he knew he had hurt his mother's feelings before, now he wanted to please his mother and give her a gift. It must be said that it is difficult to change a person's nature, borrowing a string of money to buy a gift for his mother, and then asking his mother to pay him back, he really was a filial son to his mother, but a dog will never change its nature.

If he truly repents, and has no money, even if he kneels on the street begging for a few cents to buy a flower for his mother, or gives nothing at all, he can just kneel on the ground and kowtow to his mother sincerely to admit his mistake. Isn't that a hundred times better than borrowing a string of coins to buy a gift?
All I can say is that Fu Zifang is both bad and stupid. He is bad in that he has not really realized where he went wrong. He is stupid in that he thinks that other people are the same as him and will be happy as long as they receive expensive gifts, and then they will forgive him and continue to take care of him like slaves, just like they did before in Qiantang and continue to be his nanny.

Failed to borrow money, Fu Zifang said:

"Did my mother and Aunt Pan'er make a fortune in Tokyo? When Aunt Pan'er was in Qiantang, she was doing business and opened a teahouse. When she came to Tokyo, she would definitely continue to do business and open a teahouse. She is so smart, she must be able to make a lot of money. She paid you to come to me, right? How much money did she give you? Do my mother and her family have their own house in Tokyo? Is it a small house or a big mansion?"

"I don't know. Wait until you see your mother and ask her."

"How come you don't know anything? Why hasn't my mother come yet?"

"I don't know. Just wait."

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of him, Fu Zifang started eating peacefully. He had been a beggar in Tokyo for so long, it was rare for him to have the opportunity to dine in such a luxurious restaurant.

By the time Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er and a few other girls walked into the restaurant that belonged to the royal palace, Fu Zifang had already eaten and drunk his fill, with a bloated stomach and a face covered in grease, like a harlequin cat. He just wiped it casually with his sleeve, looking very sloppy.

When he saw Sun Sanniang, Fu Zifang couldn't help but widen his eyes. How come his mother had become so beautiful?
The previous Sun Sanniang was a country woman, but now she is a real Tokyo lady. Good clothes and jewelry, rouge and powder, and good living conditions have made her beautiful and elegant. Fu Zifang didn't dare to recognize her for a moment. Is this still his original mother?
It was Sun Sanniang who pounced on her son first. When she really saw Fu Zifang's face, she saw that he had become darker and thinner. Her heart softened all of a sudden. She no longer remembered his ungrateful face.

"Zifang!"

Sun Sanniang hugged Fu Zifang tightly and cried. Fu Zifang was a little dumbfounded. His mother was wearing a very beautiful silk dress, gold and silver jewelry, and looked very noble. His mother was so capable and lived so well in Tokyo. He could not believe his eyes. Is this true?
At this time, Fu Zifang was very excited. His mother seemed to be very rich, so wouldn't he be able to stay in Tokyo and live a good life?

"Mom, I miss you so much."

Fu Zifang hugged Sun Sanniang and murmured. Hearing his heart-warming words, Sun Sanniang cried even harder. She hugged Fu Zifang and cried:
"Mom misses you too."

As she spoke, she let go of Fu Zifang and looked him up and down.

"Zifang, how are you doing? Did they bully you?"

"Mom, Dad doesn't care about me anymore, and there's that Tao..."

Fu Zifang burst into tears out of grievance. He recounted his experiences over the past few months in a disjointed manner. It turned out that Mrs. Tao was pregnant, and the financial power of the family was in her hands, so Fu Xinggui was devoted to coaxing her and no longer cared about his son Fu Zifang.

That Tao took the opportunity to send Fu Zifang to the store as an apprentice. The store owner and several young men bullied him every day under Tao's instigation. He ran to his father to complain, but Fu Xinggui not only did not support him, but also listened to Tao and beat him severely, saying that he could not endure hardship and would have no future, so how could he inherit the family business?

Fu Zifang was not stupid either. He knew that he could not stay in this family any longer, otherwise he would be tortured to death by his father and Mrs. Tao sooner or later. So he simply ran away and became a beggar outside. His father and Mrs. Tao did not look for him. After wandering outside for a few days, he happened to meet people from the Gao family who were asking about Ouyang Xu in the city. So, he took the initiative to step forward and said that he knew about Ouyang Xu, and then negotiated with this as a condition. Finally, he came to Tokyo with the people from the Gao family.

He wandered around Tokyo for a long time until Yuan Xudong learned about this from Gao Hui, and then he asked someone to find him and arranged this meeting between mother and son.

After Fu Zifang finished telling his story, he sobbed and fell into Sun Sanniang's arms. Yuan Xudong felt a little unhappy when he saw this. How dare this little bastard take advantage of his woman?
At this time, Sun Sanniang didn't know that Yuan Xudong was jealous of her son. When she heard Fu Zifang crying, she gently stroked his head and comforted him:

"Don't cry, don't cry, mother is here for you from now on, and she won't let you suffer anymore."

Hearing this, Fu Zifang cried even louder. He hugged Sun Sanniang and cried loudly, saying:

"Mom, please don't leave me forever, okay? I know I was wrong. I will listen to you and study hard in the future, and bring you a crown and a bridal robe in the future."

"Okay, I won't leave you. I will never leave you."

Sun Sanniang cried, and for a moment there was deep love between mother and son.
