Chapter 140: Calm

o marry her off to a good family.""Our family is so poor we can't even afford to eat. Zongyu hunts for things to sell and earns just enough to get by.""To even dream of producing a top scholar Bah, s...After the meal, Zong Bai kept chasing after Zong Yulian and asking, "Yulian, when did your relationship with your sister-in-law become so good"

"What happens to us when we're not at home during the day"

Zong Bai saw Fang Jinxiu's arm was injured, and his heart had some guesses.

He kept asking relentlessly, trying to get to the bottom of things and understand all the whys and wherefores.

Before the brothers returned home, Fang Jinshu had instructed Zong Yulian not to tell them about the reason for her injury.

Zong Yulian this time listened to Jinxiu's words and agreed. She promised not to say anything, so she wouldn't say anything.

His lips were tighter than a clam shell.

"Hey second brother! Are you going to bother me My sister-in-law accidentally got hurt, so just drop it."

After she finished speaking, she hugged the bowl and turned to go to the kitchen. Zong Bo stubbornly chased after her.

Fang Jinshu sent Su Yusheng to the courtyard gate and instructed him.

"Tomorrow, Master Su can only travel this mountain road alone. Be more careful yourself."

Su Yusheng nodded. "Don't worry, Miss Jinxiu, my men are guarding at the foot of the mountain. They won't leave without my order."

"As long as they are there to receive me, I will be safe."

He took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Fang Jinshi.

This is Zong Yulian's deed of sale. Remember to take it to the yamen to clear her slave status, otherwise that girl will never be able to marry a good man in her life.

A good citizen would not marry a woman of slave status.

Fang Jinxiu took the deed of sale and glanced at it, remembering that she had one just like it. Although Mu Shi had returned it to her long ago.

"So we still need to go to the government office to get rid of my slave status."

Su Yusheng hummed in response, hesitated for a moment before voicing the question that had been weighing on his mind.

"Miss Jinxiu, you, you possess such extraordinary medical skills, how could you have married into such a family"

"Have you been coerced or threatened If so, I can help you escape this predicament."

Fang Jinshu was taken aback, before she could even retort, a sudden gust of wind swept past her side. Before she could react, she saw Su Yusheng being punched to the ground by Zong Yu.

He coughed violently, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

She hurriedly went up and grabbed Zong Yu, "Wait a minute, don't hit him first."

"It was a misunderstanding. I was about to explain, Zongyu, just calm down for a bit."

Zong Yu stared at the terrifying face, his fists clenched harder than stone. Ultimately, under Fang Jinxiu's persuasion, he lowered his fist.

"Stay calm, stay calm. Su Yusheng is still a patient, you shouldn't hold a grudge against him."

To harm others can only bring misfortune to oneself in the end.

People say that his servants and guards are still at the foot of the mountain.

Zong Yu sees Fang Jinxiu protecting this person so fiercely, his heart is filled with indescribable anguish.

But he was a reserved person, not one to speak much. Even if he had something on his mind, it would be hidden deep within him, never letting anyone see his vulnerable side.

Moreover, he didn't want to lose face in front of Fang Jinshu.

Just now, that punch had already made him flustered and lost control of his impulses.

How could she possibly see such a cruel, ugly, and jealous side

Fāng Jǐnxiù saw Zong Yù's face was very cold, and she kept softly comforting him.

He had once punched a wild boar weighing over a hundred pounds to death, the scene was still vivid in her memory. To be honest, Zong Yu's strength was definitely the most impressive she had ever seen in two lifetimes.

Even ten Su Yushengs combined wouldn't be able to withstand his attacks.

Zong Yu put down his hand and went back without a word, disappearing into Zong Bai's room and never coming out again.

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback, feeling like she had done something wrong, but couldn't figure out what.

She pulled Su Yusheng up, her voice no longer as soft as before, hardening a few points.

"I apologize, Master Su. My husband did not intend to hurt you."

"There's something I need to clarify with you. I chose to stay at the Zong family willingly. No one forced me, and no one can threaten me."

"If I really wanted to leave, do you think the Zong family, with their personalities, would use such underhanded tactics to keep me"

She spoke very sharply and bluntly, with a clear air of displeasure.

Su Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled wryly. He understood.

"It's my small mind at work, I apologize."

"Another day, I will definitely explain to Brother Zong properly."

Fang Jinshu interrupted him, "No need, we will solve our own marital affairs."

"Master Su, you should go back to rest. Don't forget what you promised me."ful demand, Tiezhu stammered and called her "sister."Zhao's cold and stiff expression finally relaxed slightly.Actually, the moment Fang Jinshi saw her, she knew Zhao was not long for this world.Wang...
