Guide to tame my villainous husbands novel Chapter 645

Smoky grey smoke hissed and erupted from the crater on the ground as the floor bubbled and fissured under the poison's effect.

"You seemed to have gotten soft," Fu Zhao stared at the fissure next to her. She was sure that Wen Gui was going to attack her but at the end moment, he moved his hand to the right and made sure that the needle that shot through the mouth of the bear would hit the ground and not her face.

"I missed," Wen Gui replied. He lowered his gun and then strode forward, a wild expression etched on his face as he questioned, "Your majesty, do you remember the promise that you made to my wife when she took the blame for something that she didn't do? You promised that our family would never be entangled in the mess of the imperial family. That was the only reason we stopped the investigation when your position was unstable."

"Now you are telling me that you want my daughter to be the Empress? Are you joking with me? If this is the result then why did my family suffer for so many years? I and my wife stayed quiet because we didn't want to step back in this dirty place again!"

Wen Gui was really angry. Years ago, when Mo Yan was blamed for betraying the Imperial family, she wanted to investigate the matter but they had to stop because Fu Zhao was being suppressed and pressurized by Wei Yunrou's fraction. Back then Fu Zhao's position was not as stable and they had to suffer because of that reason, in exchange for leaving this place with such a heavy stain that Fu Zhao wouldn't have to suffer, Mo Yan only asked one thing from Fu Zhao.

And that was to never be entangled with the Imperial Family.

Fu Zhao had agreed back then, she promised that she would never pull their Mo family into the dirty politics of the Imperial Family which in return would secure their safety. It did not matter if they had to be branded as traitors or live in a place where there was nothing.

The two of them thought that as long as they could leave peacefully with their daughters, it was enough. His wife even let others call her names! Sure Fu Zhao saved them from execution but they had a deal!

"I know that you are angry and I assure you that this is something that I do not want either," Fu Zhao wiped the dirt off her shoulders before explaining, "However my daughters are too much of a disappointment, Ah Gui. I taught them with care, made sure that they would understand what it meant to be the ruler of the country as well as the owner of the throne."

Her eyes glazed with sadness as she sighed, "However, I underestimated my concubines including the Emperor's lack of grace and wits. They seemed to have taken the surname Fu for granted, they think that as long as they are my daughters, they are destined to become the ruler of this country."

"That no one will be able to snatch the throne from them. Instead of focusing on the country, they now rely on gathering support from the officials in the court. They have forgotten everything that I have taught them." She paused and then added, "The only one who has a bit of wits left, is my son and second daughter Fu Shuyan. However, Qi Hong cannot take the throne and Shuyan has no intentions to become the Empress."
