replied directly."The old master has returned long ago and is currently in the second master's room discussing matters."Fang Jinshi feigned ignorance and asked, "Are you discussing today's palace ent...Fang Jinshui felt a little strange. This vegetable thief usually committed crimes at night, so why would he come out in broad daylight this time

Second, there are very few families in the village who go hungry now. Almost every household has people going up the mountain to work, and Village Chief Wang frequently checks on their situation.

Strive to ensure that no one in the village starves.

So the appearance of this vegetable thief was a bit out of place.

Before this, Fang Jinshu had been constantly thinking about who it was, but with things happening one after another, she hadn't given it much thought for the time being.

Today, I'm going to take this opportunity to completely resolve the issue of vegetable thieves.

So that this won't happen again.

The leopard cat held on tightly to the man's arm, letting out low growls constantly. The man was facing away from everyone, and from his back, he looked so thin.

They don't act like adults.

Fang Jinshu immediately shouted, "Xiaohua, let go!"

Huaban Hu's gaze shifted to her, reluctantly loosening his grip on the person's arm.

It paused for two or three days, and finally made a contribution by catching the vegetable thief. It thought that its owner would pat its head and praise it, and reward it with a big bowl of delicious spring water.

The result was nothing, and he even yelled at Huhu.

Tiger suddenly got emotional, wagged his tail discontentedly, and walked to the side, lying down.

Yulian wanted to step forward and turn the person's face around so everyone could see clearly who it was.

"Hold on, I'll come."

Fang Jinshi felt that the back view was familiar, and she called out to Yulian and walked forward herself.

The vegetable thief's thin frame shivered constantly, but he showed no sign of resistance. He even seemed to hesitate when he heard Fang Jinshu speak.

"You, you can rest assured, we won't hurt you. Can you turn around You're not from our village, are you"

Fang Jinshu's voice grew clearer as she got closer.

The man slowly turned around, his other hand gripping the arm that had been bitten by the flower-spotted tiger, blood splattered all over him.

Everyone instantly stretched their necks to look. Outsiders rarely came to their village, so who was the thief Was he someone from their own village

Whose is this

Upon seeing her face, both Jade Lotus and Mu shi's eyes were filled with a hint of bewilderment. After taking another look, they both began to furrow their brows.

"Jinxiu, do you think this vegetable thief looks a lot like you"

As soon as Mu's voice fell, Fang Jinshu ran hastily to the person's side as if she had lost her soul.

They had never seen Fang Jinshi so flustered, so anxious, and with such a ghastly complexion.

"Jinxiu, is she someone you know"

Fang Jinshiu was filled with self-blame, trembling as she held out her hands. "Mother, she's my younger sister from my maternal family, named Fang Xiaochao."

The moment Fang Xiaocǎo saw Fang Jǐnxiù's face, she was so excited that she fainted.

Fāng Jǐnxiù gave her blood-stopping medicine and picked up her sister's frail body. It felt as light as a rush of grass, making her feel deeply heartbroken.

"Mother, sister from the mother's family" Yulian exclaimed in surprise.

With Fang Jinshu's urgent departure, everyone forgot about the vegetable patches and followed after her.

The little goblin, sensing its master's concern for the vegetable thief it had bitten, realized it might be in trouble. It quickly ran to the side of the manor house, biting on the rope as it went.

It has to hide for a while so the owner doesn't remember and come looking for it later.

Fāng Jǐn xiù carried her younger sister back to her own bed and left Xiǎo Yuè to help her. After more than half a clock hour, Xiǎo Cǎo's wounds were treated properly.

Little Yue also helped Xiao Cao clean her body and put on a fresh set of clothes.

Xiaohua's bite wound wasn't deep, it just looked scary after bleeding. Actually, it wasn't serious. Xiaohua was still sensible and didn't go too far, she didn't inflict a fatal blow or break any bones.

The reason Xiaocao fainted was due to her body being in a state of prolonged hunger, coupled with blood loss and excitement. These factors combined led to her fainting.

A thirteen-year-old girl could be considered half an adult, thin as skin and bone.

When Xiao Yue was giving Xiao Cao a rub down, Fang Jinshi stood beside her, watching her little sister's thin frame. There wasn't an ounce of flesh on her; she was just skin and bones. Fang Jinshi felt a pang in her heart.

Fang Jinshu has always wanted to go back to her family home and take Xiaocao with her. Her parents are patriarchal, and with the world in such turmoil, Xiaocao will sooner or later be sold by them.

She originally planned to wait until the villa was built, with habitable places, before going to pick up Xiaochao. She didn't expect the two of them to meet again in this way.

So, what happened

How could the little grass get hereasn't wrong about Qin Qianqian."You have such audacity, to use such despicable tactics against the Marquis."Xiaoyueqi wished she could slap Qin Qianqian again. She was too ungrateful. Madam had known...
