y."Fang Jinxiu was choked by the porridge that was hastily shoved into her mouth and coughed violently.Jade Lotus and Zong Bai instantly huddled together, whispering secretly."Something's wrong."I agr...Mu coaxed Fang Jinshi here, and Zong Bai and Yulian sat on either side of Zong Yu after the two left.

"Brother, how could you say those words to your sister-in-law just now"

"For so many years, if it weren't for your sister-in-law holding up this family, do you think you could come back and live in such a lavish and comfortable villa"

"Do you know how much silver it takes to keep your mother alive for a year"

"If she wanted to leave, she wouldn't have waited until now."

Yulian really couldn't hold it in anymore, even though the person in front of her was her own brother, she had to say these words.

Zong Bai didn't stop his younger sister and let Yulian tell her brother-in-law about all the difficulties she had gone through over the years. It was good for him to know, after all. There are thousands of ways to coax someone, but Big Brother is too clumsy. He chose the most useless one.

"Big brother, if you truly don't want to separate from your sister-in-law, then it's best to say less of these things in the future."

"Don't you really know why your sister-in-law is angry with you"

Zong Yu wasn't all-round talented; he was notably insensitive when it came to emotions, even less so than his younger brother.

"I."

She should be angry that I'm late.

Zong Bai rubbed his forehead, it seemed like his elder brother really didn't know.

"That's certainly one reason."

Let me put it this way, if your situation was reversed, your sister-in-law went far away to do business for four years and never sent any messages during that time, how would you feel

Zongyu brought in his brother's words, and just thinking about Fang Jinshu leaving already made him angry and irritable.

Not to mention four years of complete silence.

At that moment, Zongyu seemed to understand something.

To care for someone is not to keep them constantly living in fear.

Moreover, he was going to a battlefield.

"I understand."

Zong Bai saw that his big brother had finally woken up, and he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Your sister-in-law has really had a hard time these years. I know your brother, being on the battlefield, must also have many things he can't control."

You don't want to worry your sister-in-law, so you choose to say nothing, which backfires.

You all need an honest and open conversation, perhaps telling your sister-in-law your feelings directly would be more effective.

Yu Lian looked back and forth between her two brothers in surprise.

"Second brother, when did you become so knowledgeable about matters of the heart"

Zong Bai's face flushed red at his sister's teasing, and he glared at her slightly.

"I'm just stating the facts, don't cause trouble."

Zongyu frowned in thought, perhaps his brother's words made sense.

While he understood some things, Zong Yu still barged into Fang Jinshu's room that night.

Xiaoyue stood by the door with a sullen face. She hadn't forgotten what happened last night.

I don't know when the old master became so cunning, he actually used that trick to keep her outside.

“Master, Mistress said to tell you to sleep in Young Master Zhong Bai’s courtyard. There's an empty room there, just cleaned today.”

Your luggage has all been moved in.

To prevent Zong Yu from continuing to shirk responsibility, Fang Jinshu had Qiu Ju clean out Zong Bai's study early in the morning. Now he wouldn't have an excuse to stay in her room any longer.

Xiaoyue was blocking the door outside, she stood behind it and eavesdropped.

Given Zongyu's demeanor last night, Xiaoyue certainly couldn't hold him off for long.

Last night, the man held her in his arms all night long, wrapped in a blanket. When she woke up this morning, her arms and legs were stiff and numb, very uncomfortable.

We can't keep doing this tonight.

Fang Jinxiu's gaze fell on the bed. Xiaoyue had already made it up for her, just one bed.

No, one bed isn't enough!

She walked over to the wardrobe in a few steps and began rummaging through it for blankets.

Found the blanket and started looking for a pillow.

Clutching the new quilt, she climbed onto the bed with difficulty and hastily spread it on the other side. She even deliberately left a two-palm wide gap between the two quilts.

Since she couldn't get rid of her reputation, in order to get a good night's sleep, she decided to be self-aware tonight and go to bed on the side of the bed first.

She wasn't strong enough to resist him, and any attempt at defiance would be futile.

Fang Jinshi had been busy, and finally managed to remake the bed before Zong Yu came in. She lay down and as soon as she heard the door creak open, she quickly turned over to face away from the entrance, pretending she was already asleep.

But the voice that came from behind was Xiaoyue's.

"Madam, the master is gone."

Fang Jinshui's body stiffened.

The grandpa said that he would never act as badly as last night again. He will come back home whenever you forgive him.

Fang Jinshi's complexion tightened, and she suddenly sat up.

"Is this a threat Well, then he's not coming back ever again!"

After finishing her words, she huffed and puffed before lying down. Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, feeling utterly confused.

The young mistress's reaction was too strange.

She was just complaining that grandpa was too pushy last night, how come she's angry now that he didn't force his way inke him, and even younger ones.Although Yuánbǎo didn't understand why his father protected other people's children, grandma said that his father was protecting the family.
