Chapter 1013 He Doesn't Care, He Just Eats Vinegar

who would dare to do anything to herNot everyone in this world cares about face. Some people, you just can't give them face.The more you give, the more they take advantage. They really think all the g...The daughter-in-law was too smart, Zong Yu stood on the spot and could only accept Fang Jinshu's anger, hurriedly assuring her.

"I won't do that again, wife."

"I swear, I'll never deceive you again."

Fang Jinxiu let out a snort and turned away, "If it were the old Ah Yu, he wouldn't deceive me."

After saying that, both of them paused, especially Zong Yu, whose eyes flashed with a strange color.

Fang Jinshu felt a bit regretful in her heart. While the past was important, people ultimately lived in the present. As long as Ayu still liked her, why should she dwell on what had happened before

Finally convinced myself to get over this hurdle, now he brought it up again in front of me.

She turned and glanced at Zong Yu. Zong Yu had already adjusted his expression, restoring the look of remorse from before.

"Jinxiu, everything I said was serious. From now on, I'll never lie to you again."

As he spoke, he pulled Fang Jinshu's hand and gently led her back into his embrace. His big hand tentatively encircled her waist. Seeing that his daughter-in-law didn't struggle or pull away, Zongyu then boldly held her tighter.

Fang Jinshu noticed the small movements on his waist, and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Where did that determination to force her into running away go He didn't even ask if she wanted to leave with him, now he knows his intentions were just to test her.

"Daughter-in-law."

Fang Jinxiu sighed softly and gave up. She couldn't bear to leave him either way, so let him forget.

She raised her hand and returned the hug to Zong Yu, as a response.

It had been ages since Fang Jinxiu had been held in A Yu's arms. As the two bodies pressed together, feeling that familiar warmth, Fang Jinxiu’s eyes welled up with tears. She was completely defeated.

No matter how much resentment and grievance she harbored in her heart, she had to admit this was what she truly wanted.

A reputation earned through hard work and warmth, that embrace was something she would never want to lose, nor would she ever give it to another woman.

Just as she was about to rest her head on his chest and reach out to touch his abs, which she hadn't greeted in a long time, Zong Yu suddenly grabbed her arms and pulled her away from him slightly.

The longed-for chest suddenly moved away from her again, Fang Jinshu was stunned.

"What's wrong"

Just then, Zong Yu looked serious and asked, "Who was the person who had dinner and drinks with you at the restaurant just now"

When Wu Niang sent people to Jinxiu Villa to call for reinforcements, Zong Yu briefly inquired about the situation with the innkeeper. In fact, he already knew that person was Jiang Chuang.

When Zong Yu returned to the capital, he wasn't idle. Gu Feng was afraid that he wouldn't understand the current situation in the capital and would suffer losses, so he had Zhao Yun prepare a file for him in advance. The file included information on all officials in the capital, including all big and small families who were likely to have dealings with him, focusing on those who could interact with him.

At night, Zong Yu would stay in Zong Bai's room and the two brothers would pore over the documents Zhao Yun had sent.

Zong Bai's status as the top scholar was confirmed, and the emperor was also aware of it. The emperor meant that, for safety's sake, Zong Bai should still go through another palace examination.

It was called an exam, but in reality, the emperor would give Zong Bo a single question to answer alone in his presence.

Such an answer sheet would definitely not have any water content. Whether his status as the top scholar is genuine, this answer sheet will reveal everything.

Of course Zong Bai wasn't afraid of such a request and readily agreed.

He is sure to enter the officialdom in the future. Since both brothers have entered the officialdom, it's good to learn more about these things so that you can help and look after each other.

Moreover, Zong Bai had been in the capital for many days before Zong Yu, so he understood the local situation better.

Of course, officials like Yuan Buyu, who had sworn a blood feud with their family, were the first to be investigated. Jiang Chuang was his subordinate, which Zong Yu already knew.

So when he entered the room and saw Jinxiu not only showing no hostility towards Jiang Chuang, but even defending him, a wave of jealousy surged within him, his face turning dark uncontrollably.

He still hasn't calmed down yet, he needs to get some answers.

Fang Jinshu lightly chuckled. Her husband's jealousy was practically written all over his face; she wasn't blind to it.

But he actually dared to lie to himself about such a big matter as marriage, claiming amnesia to be so bold

Does he know how she's been doing these days!

This was a good opportunity for her to get a little revenge on him, wasn't it

"So, you're coming to interrogate me just after I calmed down"

“If I wanted to go with another man, there wouldn’t be a chance for you to come back.”

Zongyu's eyes darkened. He knew the harm his years of neglect at the border had brought to his family.

He knew everything Jinxiu had done, including the fact that she wasn't by her side when she gave birth, and how much hardship and grievance she had endured.

These past few days, Zong Bai told me almost everything that had happened at home over the past four years. Establishing Jinshi Mountain Villa was no easy feat, and what Jinxiu did was beyond what an ordinary woman could achieve.

He felt very guilty. As her husband, he wasn't by her side to protect her during her most difficult and life-threatening moments. He couldn't be there to shield her from the storm.

Although Jinxiu said she would sever ties with him, in reality, everything she did was for his well-being.

The last time at the Jingwang Mansion, she had already written a divorce letter to him, yet when he was struck by a potent love potion, she saved herself in that way. Logically speaking, she could have simply left without a word and not concerned herself with him.

He deserves to die.

Four years ago, she came to Yuzhou to find him. She was almost five months pregnant at the time, but when she saw him, she didn't say a word about it.

At the time, if she had shown him her belly and told him she was pregnant, he might not have gone to war with Gu Feng.

Jinxiu respected his decision so she didn't say anything. She went back and silently shouldered everything herself, also taking good care of his family.

After hearing everything from his younger brother, Zongyu's heart was cut like a knife, filled with sympathy for all that Jinxiu had endured over the past four years.

As Jinxiu said, she has four years to find someone else.

Zongyu felt a bit annoyed with himself for letting jealousy cloud his judgment. He shouldn't have questioned her like that.

"I, I didn't mean it that way, Jinshu. I just can't stand those men being too close to you."

"You are mine."

He domineeringly pulled her back into his embrace. Fang Jinshu couldn't help but smile, pressing her face against the solid chest she had yearned for four long years. She let out a comfortable sigh, listening to A Yu's domineering declaration, her heart filled with an unparalleled sweetness.

"I wasn't really related to him."

"Ah Yu, you have already forgotten the past, so you have also forgotten my origins."

"Jiang Chuang, he should be considered an old friend of mine. We've known each other for a very, very long time—since way back when. I know him well."

I’ve always looked up to him like an older brother, so don't be jealous. I knew him long before I met you. What happens between us has nothing to do with you, and besides, our little treasure wouldn't exist without him either.

"Does this explanation make sense to you"

Zong Yueming nodded on the surface, but his eyes and expression were not the same.

Fang Jinshu couldn't help but roll her eyes and slap his arm hard.

"After fighting for four years on the frontier, you haven't learned anything but to pay lip service"

"You can't even hide your jealousy, I'm not blind you know. Nodding doesn't change a thing."

Zong Yu pursed his lips and remained silent. He didn't dare retort, but he held his wife tightly in his arms.

What acquaintance, even Jinxiu has never called him brother, he doesn't care, he just eats vinegar.as dug by everyone in the village. Why should your family charge us!""That's right, that's too much!"On this side of the pool, a commotion was gradually brewing. Fang Jinshi stood at her doorstep and...
