Chapter 237: A Man Has Arrived

u shuddered, remembering that Fang Jinxiu, the dead girl, was skilled in medicine and knew the herbs of the mountains.You never know, she might actually know quite a bit about poisons."You, you dare!"...Though Mu shi worried for her son and daughter-in-law, she didn't want to put someone else's son in danger.

The eldest son kept repeatedly reminding them at home that after nightfall, no one should go around in the mountains. Even though the drought had reduced the number of wild animals now, it didn't mean there weren't any animals active at night.

The Mus family wanted to stop Longhe and Tiezhu.

Su Yusheng then said, "Auntie, several of my guards are skilled in martial arts. I'll have them go with Chang He and Tie Zhu as well."

"There's safety in numbers."

He turned back and instructed several of his subordinates, "You must ensure the safety of these two young brothers."

Four guards immediately replied, "Yes, Young Master!"

The clan sister-in-law is so kind, one hundred of them would be willing to go find her.

Mu was so excited she didn't know what to say, nodding repeatedly at Su Yusheng in thanks.

"Thank you, Su Gongzi, thank you!"

Zong Yulian also hesitantly followed and said a word of thanks to Su Yusheng.

"At least you have some conscience. If something happens to my sister-in-law, don't even think about getting your illness cured."

Su Yusheng was the first person to deceive her feelings, Zong Yulian truly couldn't feel a shred of goodwill towards this person.

If it weren't for the sake of her sister-in-law, she would have driven him out with a big stick long ago. She wouldn't have tolerated him staying in her house for even an afternoon.

Su Yusheng leaned towards Zong Yulian, raising an eyebrow. Taking advantage of Mu Shi's undivided attention on the path ahead, he quietly approached Zong Yulian and whispered in her ear.

"In these two days, I should return to Muzhou."

"Are you really unwilling to be my concubine"

Although I have concubines, I haven't married a legitimate wife yet. Once you enter my household, you will be the only mistress in my courtyard.

"Are you really not considering it"

Zong Yulian was so angry with this shameless wretch that her face turned black. Taking advantage of Su Yusheng's unpreparedness, she precisely locked onto his instep and raised her foot, stomping down hard!

Su Yusheng's face flushed with pain, he almost cried out, luckily he held it back in time.

He trembled, pointing at Zong Yulian, "You, you, the most venomous woman's heart!"

Zong Yulian smiled thinly at him, her expression laced with sarcasm.

"You're right, I am poison!"

"As a woman like me, you dare to take me home and try Be careful, I might pull out a pair of scissors from under the pillow in the middle of the night and snip you!"

She looked down with a knowing gaze, scaring Su Yusheng into retreating step by step. His heel was crushed and aching, all he could do was stomp his feet in place.

Zong Yulian let out a cold snort, "Is having money everything Even if all the men in the world died, I wouldn't become your concubine."

Su Yusheng glared at her and cursed, "You vicious shrew, what man would dare to marry you as his wife!"

Zong Yulian, furious, crossed her arms and said, "If no one marries me, I'll go to a nunnery and become a Buddhist nun!"

Unexpectedly, her words greatly stimulated Su Yusheng.

"What You mean you'd rather become a nun than be my concubine"

He gesticulated angrily at himself, "Our Su family is well-respected in Muzhou. I'm not bad looking either. I've studied the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood and I know how to do business."

"What's wrong with my concubine You, with your status, are already marrying above yourself. What do you have to be dissatisfied with!"

She actually said she'd rather become a nun.

The more Zong Yulian looked at Su Yusheng, the angrier she became. "I can't even communicate with you!"

"I'd rather die than become a concubine for someone else. If no one marries me, I'll stay with my older brother and his wife for the rest of my life."

They're really good to me.

Su Yusheng still wanted to say something, but he saw Mu Shi suddenly exclaim with excitement.

"I'm back! I'm back! I saw Ayou and Jinshu!"

Mu ran forward while shouting, hurrying to meet him. She didn't even have the heart to listen to what his daughter and Su Yusheng were arguing about in the back.

Tiezhu and Changhe had just started up the mountain when they met Zongyu and Fang Jinshui. They were bringing back several other people as well.

There were actually several young ladies there!

When these girls first saw so many unfamiliar men, they were quite quiet, but instantly screamed in fear.

He clutched Fang Jinshu like a life raft, huddled close to her.

"Sister Jinxiu, there's...there's a man here!"se. Now it seems that this couple isn't any good either."Now the most important thing is to get Zong Hu Ge's wounds treated."Fang Jinshu let Wang Yaner wait for a while, she turned and went out, and a...
