Chapter 902: He protected everything she cared about, includ

ned her head to berate him again.The old master stared at Fang Jinshu with a grim face. He had truly underestimated this girl; in just a few words, she had cleared herself of all responsibility.But hi...When Zhao Wu came out of the Du family's house, not a single part of his body was clean. There were even traces of blood from his miscarriage still on him.

Autumn Chrysanthemum had prepared hot water and just wiped him clean. Zhao Wu instantly felt like he was coming back to life. Although his body still lacked energy, after being cleaned up, he looked and felt much better.

She was chatting with Qiujing in bed when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Autumn Chrysanthemum was still puzzled, "Who is it Didn't the young mistress say not to let anyone disturb her"

She opened the door, before she could even speak, Zhao Xingzhou eagerly shouted into the room.

"Fifth Sister, it's me, Little Nine."

"Little Nine!"

Zhao Wu was also very surprised and hurriedly got up to see what was going on.

Autumn Chrysanthemum saw that the two people knew each other, so she hurried to the side to let Zhao Xingzhou come in. Soon after, she saw Little Moon Sister arrive.

"Madam said, let them siblings have a word."

Two girls went out together, leaving the space to Zhao's siblings.

When Mu heard that Zhao Xingzhou's siblings had been brought back home by their daughter-in-law, she was still quite surprised.

"How could Master Zhao and Miss Zhao have fallen to such a state"

After hearing what Chang He and they said, the Mu family couldn't believe it.

The Zhao family used to be a prominent household in the county. She never could have imagined that even such a wealthy family would one day fall into ruin.

"This, I don't know. Madam should ask Young Master Zhao."

As they say, "If you mention someone, they'll appear." Fang Jinxiu came over for dinner just as they were saying her name. The Mu family and the others were sitting at the table waiting, but after a long time they realized she was the only one who had come.

"Jinxiu, I'm saying you brought both Master Zhao and Miss Zhao to the Mountain Villa."

"Why didn't you invite them to join us for dinner"

Fang Jinshi explained faintly, "Mother, Yun Ni just had a miscarriage and her body is still very weak. I asked Qiu Ju to send the food to her room."

Moreover, she can't eat these meaty dishes with us now. Her diet needs to be prepared separately and kept light.

Mu heard this and immediately nodded, "She's still in the early stages of pregnancy, so she needs to rest a lot and pay extra attention to her diet."

"Tomorrow I'll make her a light and nutritious soup to send over. Poor girl."

Fang Jinshu heard this and nodded, "Well, Mother can also visit Yunni more often and talk to her."

Mrs. Mu assumed that after her daughter-in-law mentioned Miss Zhao, she would then say Master Zhao. However, after waiting for a long time, she saw her daughter-in-law directly pick up her bowl and start eating without saying another word.

She couldn't wait to ask, "So, what about Master Zhao"

The Zong family is unaware that Zhao Xingzhou took advantage of her amnesia while she was in a vulnerable state. The Mu family still believes that Zhao Xingzhou and their daughter-in-law are still good business friends.

"He's now our family's guardian, he should be eating with the other guardians."

Fang Jinshu didn't seem to want to say much, so Xiaoyue hurriedly shook her head at the old madam and made a gesture of prohibition.

At first, the young mistress didn't want the old mistress to know where she had been for more than half a year after her disappearance, just so as not to worry her and let her mind run wild.

Not to mention that it wasn't a glorious history, Fang Jinshi didn't want anyone to know about it anymore.

She was fooled around by Zhao Xingzhou like an idiot and even felt grateful to him.

The atmosphere at dinner suddenly became much quieter. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was unwilling to talk more, Mrs. Mu gave up and stopped asking.

During the day at the manor, Zhao Xingzhou also tried his best not to appear in front of Fang Jinxiu, knowing that she didn't like him.

As for his feelings toward her, Zhao Xingzhou had never forgotten a single day. He had let go, but he knew that now, he was even less qualified to approach her.

He didn't harbor any fantasies because Fang Jinshi had saved Zhao Wu. He simply made a silent decision: from now on, wherever Fang Jinshi went, he would follow her like a shadow, guarding everything she cared about, including her.

After confirming this idea, Zhao Xingzhou paid more attention to his work as a guardian.

After memorizing the topographic map of Jinshi Mountain Villa, he discussed the patrol points with Chang He again. The large villa was particularly vulnerable to infiltration from blind spots in its vast expanse when manpower was insufficient.

He assigned Long He to increase the number of guard patrols, making sure there were always two shifts on duty at these vulnerable points and leaving no room for anyone to exploit weaknesses.

Zhao Xingzhou, besides being busy with patrol arrangements and training enhancements, would spend his days at his fifth sister's place.

He would only go to stand outside Fang Jinshui's courtyard at night, when it was dark, and watch her safely return to bed. Only then would he go back to rest.

For several days, Fang Jinshi didn't see Zhao Xingzhou's figure at the manor.d.With just the manpower she brought, it would be nearly impossible to forcefully break into a prince's manor and take someone away unharmed.She was confident she could rescue both children, but doing...
