od."Gu Liu Sheng nervously nodded and followed suit.Fang Jinxiu picked up the disinfected dagger and made a tiny incision on each of her wrists. The black poison coursing through her meridians seemed...When Mrs. Liu saw that her son wouldn't listen, she snapped, "Right now, I'm like a transparent ghost at home. If it weren't for my mother-in-law who still needs me to take care of everything inside and outside the house, I might even be kicked out by them."

"Do you think they'll listen to me"

That's also true.

Then you'd better not meddle in this. Maybe I can ask Zong Yu and the others for mercy later and protect you from harm.

"Alright, I wasn't planning on getting involved anyway," Liu hurried to agree.

"Your grandpa now believes what Hu Ai Lan said, this terrible idea was her doing."

“When I couldn’t figure out what she was thinking, it dawned on me that she wanted to use your grandmother’s hand to kill Fang Jinshu, so she could take her place and marry Zong Yu as his wife.”

"Hmph, it's a pity that your grandmother is also a shrewd person who has lived for a lifetime. How could she not see through her little thoughts."

In short, let them fight; I'm happy to watch the commotion.

Zong Hu listened, his brows furrowing tightly. "You better just stay out of this," he said. "There's nothing for you to worry about, so just go back home first. It wouldn't be good if others saw you here looking for me."

If her father and grandparents found out, her mother would surely get a scolding.

Liu still wanted to say a few more words to her son, but Zong Hu remained silent. She had no choice but to purse her lips and leave.

I gave birth to a son, but I don't know if his temperament is like mine. Children grow up and become their own people, it's true.

But it's okay, as long as Xiao Hu still recognizes her as his mother, there will be someone to take care of her when she gets old.

Mrs. Liu left in a good mood.

After saying a few words to Zong Hu and Wang Yan'er, he hurried to Zong Yu's house. At this time, Fang Jinshi had already returned with the last batch of boxes.

At this time, I am in the courtyard discussing with Zongyu and the others about the first step of building a mountain villa. We should first build a warehouse to store things.

The place to live is not urgent.

Zong Hu appeared in a hurry, entering the room and fixing his gaze directly on Fang Jinxiu.

Fang Jinshu also noticed that he seemed to have something to say to her, so she quickly got up.

"Ah Yu, you discuss this first."

She walked up to Zong Hu and said, "Big brother Zong Hu, do you have something to look for me"

Zong Hu nodded. “Go outside and talk.”

He instinctively felt that it was best not to let his second aunt and Ah Yu know about this for now.

Fang Jinshi followed him outside the courtyard, "Brother Hu, what happened Why is your face so serious"

Zong Hu frowned, "My mother just came to find me. She said grandma listened to Hu Ai Lan's advice and wants to harm you."

“This time it’s serious, I’m going to kill you.”

Fang Jinxiu, after hearing this, first froze for a moment with no expression on her face, then let out a chuckle.

"Sister, this is no joke. I know Grandpa's character well; he always means what he says and does what he says."

After the smile faded, a hint of coldness gradually appeared in Fang Jinshu's eyes.

"What's wrong with being serious"

It was said that the people who lived in the old house before had a blood relationship with her and Ah Yu, and they never harmed them.

The lessons were just superficial.

If they insist on courting death, then she can't be blamed for being ruthless.

"Brother Zhonghu, I understand this matter. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Although Zong Hu saw Fang Jinxiu's calm expression, he was still a little uneasy.

"This matter, Ah Yu took care of it."

Fang Jinxiu smiled. "I know Big Brother told me this alone on purpose."

"I won't let A-Yu and Zong-Bei get involved."

If someone from the old house gets into trouble, and it's connected to Zongyu and Zongbei, even though they have split their families, the villagers know what kind of people they are.

But speaking of it, this layer of blood relation still exists. If either the elder Zong or the elder Wu dies, their brothers will still be ridiculed by people.

Oil painter Zong Bai has now recovered his studies and is preparing for the imperial examination in two years. Even if he wants to solve the problem of the old house, it must be done subtly and without anyone noticing.

It shouldn't make people feel like it was intentional.

Fan Jinshu smiled and thanked Zong Hu, "Zong Hu gege, thank you for telling me these things."

"Let's pick up Sister Yan this evening and have dinner at home, shall we"

They have been eating at Zong Yu's house almost every day these past few days. Zong Hu feels a little embarrassed about it, even though they are family. You can't always rely on someone else's hospitality.

"No, you guys eat. Yan'er has already started cooking at home. We'll come over to help you in the evening."

After finishing his words, Zong Hu turned and left. Fang Jinshi returned to the courtyard and sat down.

Zong Yu raised his eyes and asked, "What did your brother tell you"

Fang Jinxiu feigned nothing had happened, saying, "Yan'er wants to eat pickled jade lotus but is too embarrassed to ask. She asked if I could give them the recipe for the pickled dish as well." barely audible, yet it seemed to her that countless mocking voices filled her ears.Their mocking glances seemed to be right before her eyes.Yuan Xiang's legs suddenly trembled, she staggered a few st...
