n time to stop him."That won't do, Dean Qin.""I cannot accept your bow."Although Qin Chongyan was only the headmaster of a small town's academy, he would be considered an old educator in modern times,...He actually paved the way for my escape. I've been betrothed to the Meng family's son since childhood, but because of my frail health, we agreed to postpone the wedding for a few years.

"He sent me to the Meng family and also left me a large dowry."

"But I couldn't bear to part with Xiaojiu, so I told Master Meng the reason and broke off the engagement."

“When I found Xiao Jiu, he was just like those refugees from Xi Zhou.” Zhao Yunni thought of her brother’s filthy appearance at the time, a stark contrast to his usual handsome and noble demeanor, and couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

"Luckily, the situation in Xizhou calmed down quickly. Later, I was accidentally caught by human traffickers. They wanted to sell me to the capital city, and Xiao Jiu followed all the way to find me."

He was injured quite badly when he was in Xizhou, and he never sought treatment for it. When he fought with those traffickers, he got hurt again. It was a very dangerous situation at the time.

"Du Yuan, or my ex-husband, happened to pass by and saved my brother and me."

"All the silver I had was taken by the human traffickers. I only agreed to marry Du Yuan to beg him to save Xiao Jiu. I even lied to Xiao Jiu and said I didn't like this kind of life full of fighting and killing."

"Now that I'm in the capital, I want to settle down. I told Xiao Jiu that I really like Du Yuan, so she would be reassured and accept help from the Du family."

"But Xiao Jiu is too smart. This trick could only fool him for a while, not forever. Soon he would find that Du Yuan wasn't good to me. In order not to hold me back, Xiao Jiu left without saying goodbye."

After a while, someone gave me some silver and said it was from my brother, and that there would be more to come.

"At that time, I thought Xia Jiu had gotten back on his feet and was starting a business again. Who knew this money was from selling himself." Zhao Yuni choked up, tears welling in her eyes uncontrollably.

She felt that Xiao Jiu had already received the due retribution for his mistakes. If it wasn't for meeting Fang Jinshi in the capital, Xiao Jiu would never have told her everything he had done for her in his life.

He was truly prepared to never appear before her again for the rest of his life.

Zhao Yun felt heartache for his younger brother.

"Jinxiu, I heard you are going to divorce Zongyu."

"I don't want to take advantage of you either. I just want to ask you to give Xiaojiu another chance."

When Mu Shi on the side heard this, she could no longer sit still. Not only was she unable to stay put, but Yu Lian had already taken a step forward earlier.

"Hey! You, Zhao Yunni, my sister-in-law was kind enough to take you and your brother in. And this is how you repay her By digging the wall while our family needs Zhao Xingzhou's help!"

"Isn't this what taking advantage of a fire is"

Zhao Yun was startled by Yu Lian's shout. His courage seemed to disappear, and he shrunk back, waving his hands frantically trying to explain himself.

"No, I, I really am not."

The Mu family always advocated for being kind to others, and she also sympathized with Zhao Yuni's plight, so she always took good care of her. However, when it came to the matter of her daughter-in-law, she was unusually firm and would not budge an inch.

"Yun Ni, as the saying goes, it's better to destroy a temple than to break off a marriage."

Besides, Jinxiu hasn't divorced Ayu yet. Doing this is not quite right. Your brother's difficulties aren't caused by Jinxiu.

Yu Lian hastily nodded, she had never felt her mother's words so powerful before.

"That's right, isn't he suffering because of his own doing"

"Why would she take advantage of my brother being away and my sister-in-law's amnesia to be unkind to her"

"Later on, when he dissipated his family fortune and did all those things, it wasn't that my sister-in-law held a knife to his throat forcing him, was it In the end, it wasn't he felt guilty in his heart, knowing that what he had done before was too despicable, and wanted to make amends."

Yulian, while speaking, pulled Fang Jinshu closer to her, afraid that her sister-in-law would be persuaded away by someone else.

Zhao Yun's eyes were red-rimmed, and she waved her hands frantically, trying to explain.

“I, I really didn't mean to take advantage of the situation. I just wanted to get Jinshu to forgive my brother.”

Even if she doesn't choose Xiao Jiu, it's fine. I, I...

Zhao Yun was flustered and didn't know why things had gone wrong again. She really didn't mean to break up Zongyu and Jinshu.

Had she not heard that Jinxiu was planning to divorce, she would never have dared to say these words.

Fang Jinshui stood beside her, frowning deeply. She didn't take the argument in front of her seriously, instead her attention was always on Zhao Xingzhou having been seriously injured twice.

Suddenly, she stood up, her face grave.

"No, I have to go out for a bit."

Zhao Xingzhou concealed his injuries. Without sufficient medication and proper treatment, it is difficult for internal injuries to heal completely, and they are very likely to leave hidden problems in the body.

Moreover, he was seriously injured twice.

She had no idea he was injured!

Damn it, if he dies outside, what's that Is he deliberately letting her owe him a favor, or does he want himself to remember this favor for his whole life!a smart one."If you still don't understand, just listen to me. Tomorrow, follow the villagers up the mountain and just work hard. Don't worry about anything else.""And don't you dare bring back anythi...
