just some leaves that had been nibbled by insects, picked from the vegetables in their home garden for everyday meals.She can't bear to throw away the lotus, and she even plans to pick off the bad le...It's possible that Fang Jinshu has been very well-behaved lately. Even though Zhao Xingzhou is not at ease, he still nods in agreement.

Out of a desire not to disappoint her, he agreed to let the maid accompany her for a stroll.

Also called several guards to follow along for protection.

"Jinxiu, I have something urgent to take care of. I'll be back soon."

"Buy whatever you want, don't hold back, okay"

Fang Jinshu nodded. "I know, you go quickly."

As soon as Zhao Xingzhou left, the smile on her face vanished. She no longer walked with the same softness and fragility, instead taking a brisk and decisive step.

Walking the streets of Luoshui City, things were completely different from what she had imagined.

The common people hurried about, most shops were closed, and there weren't many people around. Even the vendors who were still setting up shop wore expressions of hardship and grief.

She lowered her head and asked the maidservant behind her, "Xiaotang, what happened in the city"

"Why is the street so deserted"

In her memory, Luoshui City wasn't like this.

Wait a minute, remind me

She has an impression of Luoshui City!

Scenes of prosperity flashed through her mind, with smiles on the faces of the people and bustling streets.

She seems to have bought a lot of things and is very happy.

The headache struck again, suddenly and fiercely. Fang Jinshu had to stop immediately, shaking her head to clear her senses.

I can't keep thinking about this, or I'm going to faint right here.

"Jin, Jinxiu" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A woman dressed extravagantly, with a lot of gold and silver jewelry on her head and hands, ran towards her.

Fang Jinshu frowned, subconsciously sizing up the woman before her. Besides her ostentatious attire, there was something familiar about this woman's features.

She seems to have a few similarities to her.

"Jinxiu! What's wrong with you It's only been a few months since we last saw each other, and you don't even recognize your own sister" The person who came was Fang Mingxia.

Fang Mingxia pulled her, her expression full of surprise.

Just now I saw your back there, and for a moment I couldn't believe it was you.

After all, since the last time I left home, I haven't seen you again.

"You heartless girl, you even went home for the New Year and saw your parents, but you didn't even show your face."

Fang Mingxia dragged Fang Jinshu to stand on the street and chattered away for a long time. Seeing that she didn't respond at all, but instead looked at her with a strange expression as if she were a stranger.

"Fang Jinshui, what's with that expression"

Little Tang and several guards from the Zhao family were also confused. Hearing that the other party claimed to be the mistress's elder sister, they did not dare to stop her.

Before going out, the young master instructed them that besides the members of the Chamber of Commerce, no strangers were allowed to contact Madam.

But, the madam's own older sister, shouldn't be a stranger, right

Fang Jinshi felt that this was a good opportunity to understand her past, she immediately grabbed Fang Mingxia's hand, intending to hold it affectionately.

For some reason, I can't keep it up.

Her intuition told her that her relationship with this woman wasn't as close and friendly as the other woman was portraying.

Even if they were true sisters.

She changed her mind and grabbed Fang Mingxia's sleeve, "It's you, sister."

"I remember."

"Since it's been so long, why don't we sisters find a place to sit down and have a good chat"

I also want to know how things are at home.

Fang Mingxia was taken aback for a moment.

But Fang Jinshu had already pulled her into a still-operating restaurant, ordering a private room.

She had the guard stay outside and only let Xiaotang come in with her to the private room.

After sitting down, Fang Mingxia stared at her with a suspicious face.

If the person in front of her hadn't looked exactly like Jinxiu, she wouldn't have believed that the words "I also want to know what's going on at home" had just come out of her mouth.

Jinxiu wouldn't hate her parents to death, even if she didn't come back for the New Year. She would want to know how things were going at home

This, this... what's going on Fang Jinshu was looking at something strange.

She waited until Fang Jinshu finished ordering, and the moment the waiter walked away, Fang Mingxia immediately asked.

"By the way, with all this chaos outside now, how could Zongyu let you wander the streets alone"

"Where is your brother-in-law"icinal herbs for the last batch of Feng Yun Pills before the snow falls."Shouldn't we be going back down the mountain about now We've been out for six days, and mother must be worried."Zongyu nodded....
