on the ground anymore.Except for the man's brothers.When the crowd was beating up a con man surnamed Zhong, Fang Jinshi had already taken out her silver needle to treat the poisoned man. The poisoned...After Zong Yu Zong Bai went down the mountain, he searched the whole village for people, grabbing anyone he met and asking if they had seen Yu Lian.

Luckily, someone had seen it and told them that Zong Yulian was living at the village chief's house with a handsome young man. Zong Yu didn't say a word and strode toward the village chief's house.

When the two entered, they only saw Su Yusheng in the village head's house, complaining about this and that. They didn't see his younger sister, Yu Lian, anywhere.

Zongyu's face was calm but he strode towards him, "Where is my sister"

Everyone in the village of Nonomura knew that a wealthy young master from a prestigious family had arrived at the village head's house. Not only was he handsome, but he was also very generous.

The village head treated him like a god of wealth, careful not to offend him in any way. Zong Yu didn't care about the few paltry coins Su Yusheng had.

"Jade Lotus said she'd go get some water for me to wash up with. What's this, brother Are you guys changing your minds and just trying to buy Bai Lingzhi cheaply to give to me"

Su Yusheng sneered inwardly, a bunch of clueless hillbillies. Living in the village head's house, he realized this village was even poorer than other places.

The impact of the drought is indeed severe, but villages outside haven't yet reached the point of digging up tree roots to eat. Almost every household struggles to find even a single mouthful of clean water.

This village felt like it was running out of options.

They're already like this, and they dare to open their mouths wide and ask for 30,000 taels of gold from him. If he could give them 3,000 taels of silver, he should be secretly happy.

I wonder if these savages have ever seen so much silver before, they really dare to ask for it.

"Who said we were going to sell you the lingzhi"

"Why are you making my sister go out to find water for you and even boil it for your bath"

"Do you know how badly our village is lacking water now There's barely enough to drink, let alone water for bathing."

Zong Bai couldn't stand Su Yu Sheng, and he now regretted not holding onto Yu Lian and preventing her from going out.

This guy is definitely not a good person.

"Humph, how ridiculous." Su Yusheng wore a languid and composed air, looking down on others with an aloof expression.

As Bai Lingzhi stood right before him, Su Yusheng realized that this family's attempts at being soft were useless. He decided to stop pretending and simply be himself.

"She volunteered to go get water for me to wash. I didn't force her."

"If you have the guts, then take Zong Yulian away from me."

Su Yusheng saw that these two brothers cared so much about this younger sister, and suddenly felt that the foolish woman might be of some use, maybe she could be used to exchange for Bai Lingzhi.

Su Yusheng raised an eyebrow and said, "She's determined to leave with me. What can you do about it"

Zong Baiqi almost rushed up to punch the damn dog, luckily Zong Yu stopped him.

The village head is still around, and it's inevitable that making a move at his house would cause trouble for the villagers.

Besides, Su Yusheng has a background. Openly hitting him could mean the whole village will retaliate against us later.

"Big brother, let me go over there. I'll beat this cheating bastard to a pulp!"

Zong Bai pointed at him and shouted, "Your family doesn't have a sick mother at all, and there's no need to marry for luck, right You're deliberately trying to trick my sister away!"

"Su Yusheng, please let my sister go."

Su Yusheng was startled. How did his family brothers know about this

"You still have some skills, knowing this much."

Since the mask was already off, Su Yusheng completely let go of his pretense.

Zongyu coldly stared at him, "What do you want to do with Yulian What will it take for you to let my sister go"

No matter what Su Yusheng's answer was, Zong Yu had already made a decision in his heart. Today, even if he broke that girl's legs, he would take her back.

She willingly married far away, it was a settled matter. Whether her husband was good or bad, the two were together for life. No matter how well or poorly she lived in the future, Zongyu wouldn't interfere.

Because the road was her own choosing.

But being cheated is a different matter altogether.

If they let their sister be tricked away under their noses, it would mean that as brothers, they failed to fulfill their duty of protecting her.

Zong Bai glanced at his older brother, still feeling a bit surprised.

Although Big Brother said he didn't care about Yu Lian anymore, deep down, he was still very worried about the girl.

Then he stood shoulder to shoulder with his elder brother, puffed out his chest, and said, "Say, what's your purpose!"ig fuss and make things difficult for you."Xiao Yue frowned and said, "It shouldn't be. The madam came with a large basket of fruit, and the woman who just opened the door for us seemed very happy to...
