he pointed to the wild duck he was holding in his hand, and Song Changhe only then realized that the python's prey wasn't him, but this duck.After realizing what was happening, Song Changhe nervously...Fang Jinshu looked at her. In just three days, Hu Ailan had lost a significant amount of weight and the dark circles under her eyes were so prominent they could rival those of a Hollywood starlet without makeup.

Well, well, looks like while she was gone, Jade Lotus and Mother truly spared no one.

Hu Ai-lan also saw Fang Jinxiu, and when she saw her return, her expression froze for a moment, and then she angrily rushed over.

"Fang Jinshi!"

"You tricked me!"

She shouted very loudly, Fang Jinshu took her ears.

"You seem full of energy, you've adapted well during this time."

When it comes to Hu Ailan, she seems quite proud. Fang Jinshu thought that the tasks she proposed wouldn't be difficult for her at all

These days, Hu Ailan has also figured it out. Fang Jinshu said that if she wants to be the daughter-in-law of the clan, she has to be able to work.

This was actually her way of making him back down, wasn't it

Then she underestimates her Hu Ai-lan.

It's just a little bit of physical work, what does it matter!

If she sets her mind to something, she will stop at nothing to get it.

Once she married into the Zong family and became the mistress of the second house, this hilltop would be hers. Even in a famine year, she wouldn't have to worry about food and shelter.

...and could even live a life of ease, with food and drink taken care of and people attending to their every need.

This has been the only belief that has supported Hu Ai-lan's persistence until now.

"Hmph, Fang Jinshu, that's all you have"

"I can do all the tasks you've assigned me. When can I start handling the accounts"

If she didn't get access to the clan's ledger for a day, she wouldn't be at peace, and she also began to doubt whether Fang Jinshui was truly going to divorce Zong Yu.

Wasn't she sold to the mountains by her family She probably didn't want to marry into the Zong family at first.

"If you taught me how to manage the ledger sooner, wouldn't you be able to gain your freedom earlier"

"I've heard, you were sold to the Zong family by your own people, aren't you Don't you miss your biological parents"

"Getting freedom sooner means getting back to them sooner. With the world in such chaos now, aren't you worried about how your parents are doing"

Hu Ai-lan didn't mind Fang Jia's extraordinary parents. It was only when she mentioned Fang Jinxiu that her face turned cold, and her mood soured.

You want to see the account book, don't you I guess Hu Ailan has always been thinking about this.

Fang Jinxiu lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in them. She gave a faint "um" in response.

"Alright, come with me."

When Mu saw his daughter-in-law about to show Hu Ailan the family's account book, his heart sank again.

What is Jinxiu trying to do Does she really intend to teach Hu Ai-lan how to look at the ledger

Just now, when Hu Ai-lan spoke, Mu Shi felt very uncomfortable.

To put it simply, Jinxiu was indeed forcibly bought back by their family. She came to their home and married Ayou, not out of her own free will.

Could it be that Jinxiu really wants to go home

Mu's brows furrowed tightly. Her parents had always treated her like this.

Hey! Jinxiu is such a kind child, who knows she might not have any resentment towards her parents.

If every household was well-off, who would be willing to sell their daughters

If Jinxiu really wanted to go home, she wouldn't object, but to let Aoyu and Li give their positions to Hu Ailan, she wouldn't agree.

Mu's concern led to chaos, and she hurriedly sent a maid to pass a message to Zong Yu.

She followed Fang Jinshu closely, no longer interested in embroidery or tending the vegetable patch. She simply stayed by Fang Jinshu's side, her face a mixture of wanting to speak and holding back.

Hu Ai-lan's heart was filled with both hatred and pride at the sight.

The Mu clan is just like those heartless people outside. After all, she had served her faithfully at her bedside for two whole years.

How many days has Fang Jinshu been married into the family

Her expression now, is she afraid that Fang Jinshu will really leave

"Madam Mu, perhaps you should rest first," Hu Ai-lan said coldly.

"I will learn to manage the household finances soon and move in with Brother Zongyu as quickly as possible to continue serving you diligently."

"Don't you remember how much you used to love me"

Mu didn't think she was saying this out of filial piety. Her tone was sarcastic, as if she wished Mu would die sooner.

"Splendid." Mrs. Mu kept looking at Fang Jinshi, stammering and afraid to speak recklessly.

Only can do anxiously.

Fan Jinshu pretended not to notice anything, and even raised her head with a particularly carefree air.

"Mother, why are you still standing here Come, come and sit down."

"You're not feeling well, how can you stand for so long"

"It's nothing, I'm just learning to look at the ledger. I'll be done in a bit."

Hearing this, Hu Ailan subconsciously felt something was amiss.

Can an account book be learned in a moment Before she could figure it out, Fang Jinshu had already placed the account book directly in front of her.

"Here, take a look first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."Zong Yu took advantage of Hu's innocence, defiled her purity and still refuses to admit it!""I'm telling the truth, it's not a rumor!""Since everyone is here today, why don't we just lay everything ou...
