ing."Zong Yu picked Fang Jinxiu up again and hurried on his way. This time, Fang Jinxiu didn't refuse.Because she discovered that Zongyu wasn't just putting on a show, he was truly physically abnormal...When she lifted her head, Zong Yu's figure was long gone. Fang Jinshu showed disappointment on her face and stepped towards the mountain villa.

Xiao Yue waited at home for half the day and was anxious. She looked around but couldn't see Madam come back. The master said he would go out to find her, but both of them haven't returned until now.

Yulian just happened to come over and saw Xiaoyue still pacing back and forth at the entrance of the courtyard, so she unconsciously asked.

"Has your brother and sister-in-law returned yet"

"Yes, Second Miss," Xiaoyue nodded anxiously in reply.

"I didn't say we were just going to the tavern for a little stroll and some arrangement today Your sister-in-law left early this morning and hasn't returned yet."

Yulian's heart also began to worry.

"Sister-in-law wouldn't have run into any danger, would she"

She remembered the assassins who had come to their house not long ago. This capital city wasn't safe for them at all, and they still had several enemies.

Jade Lotus merely whispered softly, but it scared Xiao Yue so badly that her face turned pale.

She disregarded her grandfather's warnings and rushed towards the courtyard, determined to find the young mistress herself.

To my surprise, I ran into Fang Jinshui, who had just returned.

"Xiaoyue What are you rushing off to do"

She reached out and steadied Xiaoyue. Hearing the familiar voice, Xiaoyue hurriedly straightened herself up. When she looked up, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Wonderful, Madam. You're finally back."

Fan Jinshi managed to squeeze out a smile, “I just spent a day at the tavern, you don't have to worry so much, do you”

Yulian is hard to find and hasn't stood by her sister-in-law's side, "Sister-in-law, you can't blame Xiaoyue for being worried, it's really too late now."

"There are still quite a few people in this capital who want our lives, so maybe next time you should bring two guards with you."

Even if things go badly, take Xiaoyue with you. If something happens, at least someone can come back and report the news.

Fang Jinshi smiled faintly again and shook her head gently at Yulian.

"Your Majesty has returned to the palace. Yuan Buyu, no matter how bold he is, wouldn't dare to make a move against us at this time, let alone your elder brother."

She intended to say that Zong Yu had already appeared before the Emperor and was a great hero of the Western Zhou War. Even if Yuan Buyu truly wanted to continue targeting them, he would have to consider this.

So they've all been safe lately.

"What's wrong, Big Brother" Jade Lotus looked at her sister-in-law with confusion. Why did she stop talking halfway through

And besides, her sister-in-law's complexion looked strange. Could it be that she was too tired from the day's festivities at the wine house

"By the way, sister-in-law, didn't your brother say he was going to the city to pick you up this morning"

She glanced at Fang Jinshi's back.

"Where is everyone"

Fāng Jǐnxiù was stunned. "When did he say he was going to pick me up"

"At dinner time, my big brother saw that you hadn't come back and said something about it. After dinner, he went to the tavern to look for you."

Fang Jinshu frowned, but he had clearly seen Zongyu at the entrance of the manor.

Could he have been following her all the way back from the tavern

Upon learning this, Fang Jinshi felt a hint of sweetness in her heart, but also an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

Originally, Ayou knew she was avoiding him. He even cooperated by not showing up. If it weren't for her almost falling when she got off the car, he probably wouldn't have intended to appear in front of her at all

And he didn't tell her that he had escorted her all the way back.

In this regard, it's exactly the same as before.

Yu Lian and Xiao Yue saw their sister-in-law begin to daydream right in front of them. When they heard that the eldest brother was going to pick her up, their expressions became very strange. Sometimes their lips curled slightly upwards, sometimes their brows furrowed with a hint of regret.

Jade Lotus felt that her sister-in-law was probably exhausted and delirious. Perhaps her elder brother had already gone back to bed.

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late. You should go back and get some rest."

"Don't worry about Big Brother, our whole family would never let that so-called princess from the North Border enter our home. Me, Mother, and Second Brother, we only recognize you."

As she spoke, Yulian firmly took Fang Jinshu's hand and held it tight.

Brother, he is simply too out of line! Sister-in-law is an indispensable part of their family, even closer than relatives. How could he possibly agree to the Emperor's betrothal!

Even if the other party is some kind of princess, can she compare to her sister-in-law

In Yu Lian's heart, no woman in the world could compare to her sister-in-law. If her brother really dared to bring that princess home, she would never let him get away with it!

Fang Jinshu was lost in her own world, barely hearing what Yulian said, she just nodded along.

"Alright, you should get some rest too."

After Yulian left, Xiaoyue wanted to follow her into the house to serve. Fang Jinshu was indeed a little tired, so she didn't let Xiaoyue come in.

"You should rest too. You've been waiting for me so long. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the tavern with me."

Xiao Yue, upon hearing this, was immediately delighted and nodded eagerly before leaving.

As long as the mistress is willing to take her, she can go anywhere.

"Yes, Madam, please get some rest. I will leave now."

"If you need anything, just call me."

Fang Jinshi nodded, but after returning to bed, she still couldn't fall asleep. Her mind kept replaying Zong Yu's hurt expression when he left.

If he were continuing to be her husband out of a sense of responsibility and obligation, he shouldn't have been hurt after she served him with divorce papers.

Could it be that even with amnesia, Ayou still has feelings for her

The moment she thought of this, her heart pounded with nervous anticipation. She had everything in her past life, except for a clean slate when it came to relationships.

One who doesn't truly love themselves will not willingly endure even if they are partnered.

Because responsibility and debt tie her to him, if a woman who could capture his attention were to appear in his life later on, his heart would be just as easily taken.

From beginning to end, Fang Jinxiu only cared about Zong Yu's sincerity towards her. She wanted his heart, not compensation or responsibility.

"Ah, esteemed one."

She tossed and turned under the covers, unable to fall asleep. After much thought, she realized that continuing to hide wasn't a solution. She had to face the situation and find a way to resolve it.

Blindly avoiding wasn't her usual style at all.

Even if Zuo Zongyu lost his memory, he still loved himself in his heart. Even the emperor's arranged marriage couldn't take him away from his side.

Fang Jinxiu calmed down, and after making a decision, she finally stopped tossing and turning. She lay flat on her back, her expression becoming serene as well.

Early tomorrow morning, she would go find Zong Yu and make things clear. She wanted to know what his attitude towards her really was.

After making the decision, drowsiness washed over him like a tidal wave. In no time, Fang Jinshi fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, she kept thinking about getting up early to find Zongyu. She had to get up early; after asking him questions, she still had to reopen the tavern. At such an important moment, she couldn't be absent.

Although they have already cleared up most of the preparations today.

The next morning, Xiaoyue stood by Fang Jinshui's bed with a look of helplessness.

"Madam, if you don't get up soon, it will be noon. Madam"

Little Yue called out several times, becoming more and more puzzled. Although the mistress wasn't a morning person, she usually wouldn't sleep until well past midday.

Such situations are rare.

Couldn't she be sick

Xiao Yue hurriedly reached out to touch Fang Jinxiu's forehead and found that the young mistress had a normal body temperature and expression, even sleeping too soundly, with a suspicious trace of liquid at the corner of her mouth.

Fan Jinshu was indeed having a beautiful dream at this moment. She dreamed that she, Zongyu, their children, and her mother had returned to Jinshui Mountain Villa in their village, and the whole family had resumed their former life.

During the day, Zongyu took her and Yuanbao into the woods. She gathered herbs while Azong taught his son how to hunt.

At noon, they didn't have time to go home for a meal. So they made a fire in the woods and roasted the hunted game right there. They ate fresh wild food and went home with a full harvest at night.

Life is blissful and fulfilling.

To my surprise, when I opened my eyes, it turned out to be a dream. All that was left before me was Xiaoyue's face, which held both helplessness and urgency.

"Madam, you're finally awake."hite lingzhi took root, but she hadn't noticed at the time.If you plant ordinary herbs and it doesn't work, what if you plant some top-grade rare medicinal herbs insteadSu Yusheng acted quickly. Seein...
