Chapter 23: Frighten Them

gled out of Li Lie's embrace, tears welling up in her eyes."No, please, beg of Young Master Li not to harm the child in my womb.""A mother's love is boundless, Niang could never be so cruel, oh woe is...Zong Bai stared in astonishment at his elder brother, wondering how such bizarre and erratic words could come from him.

He wasn't always a disbeliever in ghosts and spirits.

Looking closer, where was the sister-in-law

He was quick-witted and figured out what was going on in an instant.

His expression changed instantly and he chimed in with the rest.

"Yes, my elder brother and I saw a corpse on the mountain today."

"This sound we hear every day living on the mountain, these ghosts specifically target those wicked people who like to take advantage of others."

"The souls of the wicked are murky, most agreeable to their taste."

"The corpse we saw today, wow, what a gruesome death."

The skull had five finger-shaped holes punched into it, the brain matter sucked dry. The flesh was shrunken and charred like burnt charcoal.

"It's really terrible!"

With every word he spoke, Old Madam Wu's body trembled slightly. By the end, she was so frightened that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Even Zongpingkang was frightened, his face pale and he kept taking steps back, his eyes darting around.

Although it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, he always felt that there was something around him.

Cold sweat trickled down.

Fang Jinshi, seeing that the two brothers of the clan head were so righteous, purposely made a bigger commotion.

She squeaked in a spooky voice.

"Hungry, so hungry."

"I want to eat."

Although the tactic was a bit childish, Old Madam Wu was frightened and finally couldn't hold it in. She screamed and turned to run downhill.

He was running while clutching his head and shouting, "I'm not tasty, don't eat me, please don't eat me!"

"If you're going to eat, go ahead and eat them. They are young and tender."

When Zongping saw his mother run away, he immediately chased after her, not even having time to say a harsh word this time.

Terrified out of his wits, he wet himself and fell several times while running. He didn't dare stop, crawling and rolling as fast as he could.

Seeing Fang Jinxiu's joy, she couldn't help but laugh until her waist bent.

Zong Bai was impressed by his elder brother's idea, but he felt that it wasn't something his straightforward older brother would come up with. It must have been his sister-in-law's idea.

He was just about to step forward and compliment his sister-in-law, when he suddenly heard Yulian exclaim in surprise.

"Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you"

"Big brother, second brother, Mother fainted!"

This night was bound to be sleepless.

Mu suddenly fainted, and the three siblings of the Zong family were so anxious that they were like ants on a hot stove.

"I'm going to town to get a doctor!"

Zongyu ran out and picked up the wild boar, trying to carry it outside. Fang Jinshu stopped him.

"What are you doing in town so late"

"Aren't you guys saying that the mountains are dangerous at night"

Zongyu's face was very pale, "If I die in the mountains, you can be free."

"It's our family's fault. We can't give you anything. Maybe you should find a good man to marry."

Fang Jinshi almost choked on her anger.

Where am I going to find a good man Everywhere is suffering from drought and famine, people can't even feed themselves, who would marry a wife

Zong Yulian angrily rushed out, pointing at Fang Jinshi and tearfully scolding her.

"It's all your fault!"

"Why do you insist on marrying into our family If we hadn't spent all our money buying you, my mother wouldn't have had her medicine constantly, and she wouldn't have fainted!"

Zong Bai hurriedly pulled his younger sister back, "Yulian! Haven't you seen how your elder sister-in-law acted when she came to our house"

She was kidnapped, she didn't do this willingly.

"How can you blame your sister-in-law It was Grandma who made our mother faint from anger."

Zong Yulian wouldn't listen to her second brother at all, staring fixedly at Fang Jinshi.

Despite the fact that Fang Jinxiu waved his hand, Zong Yu still decided to go to town for a doctor at night. Even if his mother really couldn't make it through this time, he wouldn't just stand there and watch her leave without doing anything.

If Zong Yu was determined to leave, what could she do to stop him with just her strength

"Fang Jinxiu shoved Zong Yulian aside with all her might, “Get out of my way if you want your mother to live.”

"Zong Bai, take her away."

Zong Bai remembered his sister-in-law's medical skills and immediately pulled Zong Yu Lian aside, not letting her come forward no matter how she struggled or screamed.

Fang Jinshu strode to her grandmother's bedside and felt her pulse.

Zong Yu saw the situation and carried the wild boar back, staring intently at the scene inside.ife and children back home.Mr. Yuan, the prime minister, noticed Fang Jinxiu's scorching gaze. As soon as he turned his head, Fang Jinxiu had lowered her eyes and restrained all her emotions, as if n...
