Chapter 375: Completely Out of It

ther, what are you doing"He was a villager just like us, wasn't it natural for him to dig the irrigation ditch with us"Why should we kneel down to beg him"Zhong Yu frowned and strode forward to offer...Fang Jinshu raised an eyebrow. "Young Master Zhao Jiu, I was originally going to let my husband spare you and allow for a proper conversation on account of Fifth Miss's face."

"But this is the most annoying thing about my life, people threatening me."

Zhao Xingzhou was in so much pain that he began to sweat. Zhao, the steward, who had not gone far, had already turned back. Zong Yu grabbed Zhao Xingzhou, and the two of them were immediately surrounded by servants from the Zhao family.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Old Li couldn't stop trembling at the sight.

"Madam Zong," he wanted to call out to Fang Jinshi, but Zong Yu found him annoying and directly knocked him unconscious with another palm.

For fear that the old man might carelessly let it slip and ruin his daughter-in-law's reputation.

Seeing this, Fang Jinshu only felt amused. With her man by her side, she wasn't afraid even if they were in a den of wolves. Her sense of security was off the charts.

Zhao Xingzhou saw how merciless they were to their own people, and he couldn't help but swallow nervously.

"You, all of you, dare to be so arrogant in my Zhao family What benefit do I have from harming you" His words now lacked the previous firmness.

Fang Jinshi smiled and glanced briefly inside Zhao Jia's fifth young lady's room.

Pity, the Zhao family is truly wealthy. Even their teacups are high-grade porcelain, gleaming with the sheen of riches.

She came to Zhao's family just to make money, didn't she Creating so much trouble isn't putting the cart before the horse.

Fang Jinxiu activated her shameless mode.

She grinned at Zhao Xingzhou, and Zong Yu's jealousy dissipated instantly when he saw his wife's smile.

Every time the daughter-in-law smiles like that, it means someone is about to have bad luck.

He let go of Zhao Xingzhou on his own accord. The servants of the Zhao family immediately surrounded their young master, protecting him in the center.

Before Zhao Xingzhou could even recover from the pain, he heard Fang Jinxiu's demonic voice ringing out.

Since you just scared me, pay up.

Compensation Did he hallucinate and hear wrong

Zhao Xingzhou looked up incredulously, his voice laced with anger, "Your husband injured me, and you want me to compensate"

Fang Jinshu stood her ground, "Indeed, my husband and I are outnumbered. Your Zhao family is powerful, yet when I was invited here to treat illness, I'm being threatened not allowed to leave."

"Wouldn't this be shocking"

Zhao Xingzhou now saw clearly that the woman before him was not a good person at all. No matter how beautiful she looked, he had no mood to appreciate it.

"You're twisting words! When did I ever threaten you guys and say you couldn't leave"

He just wanted to talk to Fang Jinshu about the valuable medicinal herbs in her hands and buy them!

Before he could even speak, his wrist was almost broken by her husband.

Compared to Zhao Xingzhou's anger, Fang Jinshu was much more composed. "I am the most reasonable person in my life, don't blame me."

"Didn't you just say that we offended the Zhao family and couldn't leave Luoshui City What else is this but a threat"

"You!" That was a phrase Zhao Xingzhou habitually used, without even realizing it was a threat.

Now that Fang Jinshu was blocking her, she was even more frustrated and angry.

Fāng Jǐnxiù said coldly, “By the way, I forgot to remind you all of one thing.”

"The prescription I just gave Miss Five was only to alleviate her condition. To completely free Miss Five from her ailment, a second prescription is needed."

After she finished speaking, she leaned against Zong Yu's chest, holding her head with a pained expression. "Oh my goodness, I can't remember things after getting startled. What was the second prescription"

"Hmm, I don't quite remember."

Zhao Xingzhou was so angry that he wanted to spit blood.

This isn't some country bumpkin, this is a cunning and shameless vixen in disguise!

He looks harmless, I thought he was easy to handle. But his mind is more complex than a beehive.

He frowned helplessly. If his fifth sister's illness could truly be cured, then losing some silver wouldn't be much of a concern. The Zhao family had spent countless gold and silver over the years seeking out renowned physicians to no avail.

"Alright, I agree. How much money do you want How do you want to be compensated You tell me."

As soon as she heard the other party relent, Fang Jinshu immediately opened her eyes and stood up from Zong Yu's arms. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, and there was not a trace of the pain she had just been experiencing.

Knowing full well that she was faking it, Zhao Xingzhou still felt a throbbing pain in his temples.

“Young Master Zhao is indeed a discerning person. Don't go overboard, just compensate me with three to five hundred taels for my mental distress.”

"Three hundred I don't think is little, five hundred I don't think is much."

"Hehehe."

Zhao Xingzhou was furious."She was afraid that Zongyu would not help her because of the feud between her family and the Zong clan. As soon as she finished speaking, she frantically kowtowed to the ground.Each sound startled Fa...
