us find A Yu. The magistrate said you must have a way to solve this."Fang Jinshi heard the entire thing and was stunned, “What did you say You said I’m sure to be able to solve it”What does this magi..."This is the money I earned fighting on the frontier."

He handed the key to Fang Jinshu's hand. Fang Jinshu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he thought about why he should refuse Zong Bai was his younger brother, as the elder brother, it was only natural for him to give some money.

Then she accepted the key without hesitation, but didn't even glance at Zongyu.

He just hummed softly in response.

Zongyu stayed on the border for four years in total. At first, the imperial court was not optimistic about the war in Xizhou, and cutting off military funds and supplies was commonplace.

After saving for four years, how much silver could there be Fang Jinshi didn't care about Zongyu, the key at all.

In the evening, after the Prince of Jing and his son finished their dinner, they left. Dong'er was extremely reluctant to part with them. The guest rooms in the manor had not yet been repaired, so even if the Prince of Jing and his son stayed, there was no place for them to live.

Although Dong'er could squeeze in with Yuanbao, who would dare let King Jing squeeze with someone else

Regretfully, the child could only take three steps and turn back to follow their father.

As soon as the last guest had left, Fang Jinshi and Xiaoyue returned to their room to rest.

Through the half-open window, Fang Jinshi couldn't help but glance at the entrance of the courtyard.

But there was nothing at the entrance of the courtyard. When she realized what she was looking at, she couldn't help but regretfully withdraw her gaze.

It's better if Zong Yu doesn't come. Is she crazy, actually expecting him to appear

"Madam, just now the Master had General Zhao send over a box."

Xiaoyue struggled to carry the box out and placed it on the table.

Fang Jinshu was a little surprised, “It’s so big.”

Look, it's quite heavy.

"Yeah, grandpa, I don't know what's in this box, it's so heavy."

"Could it be that the inside is all made of silver"

Fang Jinshu couldn't help but reach out and touch it. Hearing Xiaoyue's guess that it was filled with silver, her eyes lit up.

After all, who wouldn't want more money

"It's unlikely, he only went to the frontier four years ago, where did he get so much salary"

"The emperor wanted to cede Xizhou many times, but he wasn't that generous."

At one point, Gu Feng even wrote her a letter begging for help, and she sent all the food and silver in her space to him.

Isn't it just that you don't want to see Zongyu get into trouble

"Madam, why don't we open it and take a look We'll know once we do."

"Didn't the master give you a key in the front hall today"

Fang Jinshi fished out the key Zong Yu had given her from her pocket, found the copper lock on the chest, and with a click it swung open.

The master and servant quickly removed the copper lock, their hearts surprisingly filled with a strange excitement. Then, with one swift motion, they lifted the lid of the chest.

Fang Jinxiu was dumbfounded, Xiao Yue also covered her mouth in surprise.

"Goodness gracious, grandpa, did you really go to war these past four years"

Xiaoyue gently touched the gold inside the box, swallowing nervously.

He couldn't be robbing a house, could he

Fang Jinxiu was originally stunned, but Xiaoyue's words broke her concentration, and she burst into laughter.

"It's like we just robbed a house."

"No, I have to ask him where this gold came from, so as not to get into trouble later."

As soon as Fang Jinshu's voice fell, Zong Yu's voice came from outside the half-open window.

"Rest assured, the source of this gold is clean."

"I absolutely did not go robbing a house."

He appeared so suddenly that both master and servant were startled. Fang Jinshu quickly turned to look out the window.

Zhong Yu was standing there, half of his body protruding from the window frame.

"My lady, why don't I go in and explain it to you in detail"

"Ask me anything, and I'll tell you the truth."

Xiao Yue lowered her head and smiled. Although the old master had changed quite a bit after this trip, he didn't seem like a bad person.

At least this mouth is much better at coaxing people than before.

The mistress often complained that the master was taciturn, and he might not even say "um" in response to ten sentences she said.

"Madam, this servant will take his leave."

Xiaoyue politely left. Zongyu saw Fang Jinxiu didn't refuse, so he hurriedly came in through the front door and even remembered to close the door after him.

Fang Jinxiu was speechless. Zong Yu, with a serious face, doing such sneaky things It was really strange, wasn't it

And what door is he closing, making the two of them look like they're doing something shady

Fang Jinxiu was just about to speak and let him open the door when Zong Yu had already walked to her face.

His steps were so fast, taking her by surprise. He was too close, and Fang Jinshu's face instantly flushed. She couldn't even speak, the words caught in her throat.

"You, you just speak, why are you so close to me"o ask the government officials yourself. Our second branch isn't servants of the old house.”After finishing her words, she pulled Zongyu around and entered the room, slamming the door shut.Brother Zon...
