ing was amiss. She'd definitely hidden all the good things she bought in town.Although the village isn't facing starvation or dehydration anymore, life hasn't gotten any easier. This is especially tru...In the end, Tie Zhu was persuaded to stay in the village.

After daybreak, Fang Jinshi found out where the three maidservants were and brought them back to the manor in a carriage.

Little Yue, who was so introverted, burst into tears the moment she saw her. As for Jin Yu and Qiu Ju, they were even worse off. The three young women had been through a lot these past few months. Before the Lunar New Year, they had already been pampered by her side, becoming plump and healthy with rosy lips and white teeth.

One race one handsome.

It feels like being set back to square one again.

Even thinner than before, his cheeks had sunk in.

"Jinxiu Jie!"

"Master, Xiaoyue knew you must be safe and sound."

Three people pulled her along, their emotions running high for a while before finally calming down. Fang Jinshu reluctantly stretched out a smile and soothed them with a few words.

"Good to see you're all alright."

"Xiaoyue, I'm leaving everything at home to you."

This is medicine for the old lady. All other matters at home can be put aside first. Her health must be prioritized.

"Don't be afraid, when I'm not here, if you encounter any problems, go find Tiezhu. From now on, he will be your half master."

Xiaoyue nodded quickly.

As soon as she returned to the manor, she discovered that Young Master Zong Bai and Miss Yu Lian, including Young Master Dong'er, were all gone. Her master must have rushed out to find their whereabouts.

The other two girls were accustomed to obeying Fang Jinshi's commands. Although they were reluctant for her to leave, they did not dare to stop her.

The three nodded obediently. This manor, which had been plagued by Zong Lao San for several months, was permeated with an ominous aura inside and out. Xiaoyue, leading her sisters, rolled up her sleeves.

"The master saved us again."

Besides taking care of the old woman, we can't just sit around. Before the master finds the other masters, let's clean up every corner of the manor.

"Get everything that the Zōng Lao Sān family has used cleaned out! Make sure that when the masters return, they see a clean, tidy, and brand new manor!"

Jin Yu and Qiu Ju were immediately invigorated by Xia Yue's words. With a goal in mind, the three girls worked tirelessly to clean up the mountain villa.

Even the vegetable patches and animal shelters were painstakingly restored to their former appearance.

Fang Jinshiu and Xiaochao explained the situation and went down the mountain with Fang Mingxia.

Fang Mingxia had originally wanted to stay in her younger sister's spacious mountain villa for a few days to enjoy the scenery, but she didn't even get to spend one night there. She was mercilessly pulled down the mountain.

As for those people in the village, leave them to Tie Zhu.

Uncle Wang is gone, and this mountain village, forgotten by the government, can only be held up by Iron Column.

Just because he took the lead today to defeat Elder Three, and let everyone in the village get relief and a breather, he is undoubtedly the next village head.

Even iron pillars need to grow.

On the carriage, Fang Mingxia asked cautiously, "Where do you plan to find your nephew"

"Shall I go back and have my husband help out too"

Fāng Jǐnxiù closed her eyes and meditated, ignoring Fāng Míngxiá. Nine and a half out of every ten words she said were laced with ulterior motives.

From now on, she distrusts everyone except herself, especially the Fang family.

"I won't forget the benefits you've given me."

"I will take over the Luoshui Merchant Guild. When that time comes, I'll have your father-in-law come see me. I'll give him a big deal."

Fang Mingxia was taken aback. She wasn't stupid, and combining Fang Jinshu's words on the mountain with her current expression, it wasn't difficult to guess that she didn't believe that Fang Mingxia genuinely wanted to help.

"You, in your eyes, am I only good for something"

"Isn't that so," Fang Jinshu pursed her lips.

"That being said, you don't have to give your master-in-law his big deal anymore"

Fang Mingxia didn't dare to speak, but her heart was so choked with emotion that she couldn't breathe.

Yes, what is she exactly expecting

It's enough that there are benefits, right Is it possible for the second sister to suddenly forgive her past actions

After figuring things out, Fang Mingxia didn't speak again. The two sisters returned to Luoshui City each with their own thoughts.

Fang Jinshi had been missing for a day and a night, and the Zhao family had already turned the place upside down.

After Zhao Xingzhou dealt with his father and older brother's funeral, which was just wrapping them in straw mats and burying them hastily on a mountainside, he considered himself to have done enough for their blood ties. He believed that by not leaving their bodies to be ravaged by wild animals and turned to ashes, he had already shown them the full extent of his familial affection.

He rushed back to Zhao's mansion and as soon as he arrived, a servant reported that his wife was missing. He immediately felt dizzy and his face turned pale.

"Find it!"

"Even if I have to turn Luoshui City upside down, I will find him!"

"Send everyone out to look!", he walked up to Fang Jinshi with a courteous air."Madam, my lord requests your presence."Fang Jinshu put away the silver needles in her hand, but she didn't relax her guard, nor did she move."Where'...
