Chapter 447: Not Quite Innocent

ve.But the butler's expression was very odd. If it weren't for something really urgent, he wouldn't come looking for him at this time.Could it be that Mr. Liu has caused trouble againAfter some delibe...Fang Jinshui almost leaped out of bed as soon as she heard the sound. She hurriedly got dressed and ran to the courtyard.

"What happened, Yulian"

"Why are you the only one back Where's your older brother and Zongbo"

Mu was also woken up by the commotion. She had hardly slept and quickly followed suit.

Yulian's face turned pale with worry, "Mother, sister-in-law, they went too far. Big brother brought us to kowtow and offer incense to grandfather, but grandmother actually grabbed hold of big brother, saying that our family had harmed uncle, and angered grandfather."

"They're putting all the blame on our family! Grandma's yelling and demanding that my older brother make amends to my uncle and grandfather."

"Sister-in-law, you go and have a look quickly."

Big brother only resorted to violence against grandma when they were truly in danger and had no other option. If he himself was bullied or beaten, he never retaliated, after all, grandma is an elder.

Fang Jinshi heard Yulian's words and instantly understood what that twinge of worry in her heart was. She knew those people in the old house would never give up.

Isn't this just their usual way of doing things

Even after the old man passed away, they still haven't realized their mistake and continue to stir up trouble endlessly. It's simply infuriating.

Fāng Jǐnxiù walked down towards the old house on the mountain, carrying a lantern and saying nothing.

Mu hurriedly followed, and Yulian instructed the maids to look after the house, so they didn't need to follow.

Then she caught up with her mother and sister-in-law.

At the doorstep of the ancestral home, night had already fallen, and every household in the village had long since extinguished their lights and gone to sleep.

However, everyone knew about Old Master Zong's passing. Now that they heard such a clear commotion, it was inevitable that they would be woken up, especially the neighbors of the Zong family, who all emerged sleepily to join the spectacle.

They didn't really want to go, but they couldn't sleep because of the noise anyway. They might as well get up and see what was going on.

So when Fang Jinshu and Mu shi arrived, there were quite a few people gathered at the entrance of Zong's family home.

Seeing them arrive, everyone spontaneously parted to make way for the two.

Zong Yu and Zong Bai were standing in the courtyard. Old Wu was waving a laundry stick wildly at the two brothers, attacking them relentlessly.

Elder Zong San stood protectively behind his daughter-in-law, his eyes red with fury as he glared menacingly at the brothers Zong Yu. He seemed ready to tear them apart.

Mu Shi and Fang Jinxiu rushed forward almost simultaneously. Even in this critical moment, Fang Jinxiu still considered her mother-in-law. She stepped forward and pulled away Mrs. Wu, allowing her to help Ah Yu and Zong Bai.

She snatched the washing stick from Old Madam Wu's hand and pushed her away.

"I'm actually curious, what's the reason behind all this commotion you've caused tonight"

"Could it be that Grandpa passed away, and you guys are trying to scam our family for money"

"Well, can't you even afford to buy Grandpa a coffin and bury him"

It's not surprising that Fang Jinshu's first thought was this. Judging from their usual practices in the old house, they seem to be able to connect everything to money.

Aunt Wu had been crying loudly, but when she heard this, her body stiffened and her eyes flickered uncomfortably.

Fang Jinshi was speechless and shocked. She had actually guessed it right.

"Fang Jinshu, as an outsider and daughter-in-law, what right do you have to speak to my mother like that!"

"You have the audacity to question us We want to ask you, why was my brother arrested for no reason"

"It's absurd to be falsely accused of killing his sister-in-law!"

"If it wasn't you two from the second house who did this, who would believe it How did your sister-in-law die, and where is her body We still don't know anything about that."

"You two are truly ruthless in your schemes! Is this how you intend to destroy our entire clan"

Fang Jinxiu, including the three siblings of the family, had never imagined that such words would come from their third uncle's mouth today.

That's what Zong Lao San, who has always been indifferent to anything that didn't concern him and had no presence in the family, would say.

Zong Yu narrowed his eyes. Even before Jinxiu arrived, he felt something was amiss.

He had lived in the Zong family for over ten years, and although he wasn't entirely sure what his third uncle was like, he still had some understanding.

If no one had instigated him, how could Uncle Three have said such things.

Fang Jinxiu immediately scanned the old house's courtyard and saw Hu Ailan standing silently watching the drama not far behind Old Mrs. Wu.

Her expression at this moment could hardly be described as innocent.iusheng's purpose in taking Zong Yu, but she wasn't sure where he had taken him.But as soon as today passes, she will be able to confirm the whereabouts of Zong Yu.Su Yusheng was confused. He didn't q...
