Chapter 1020: Tenderness Like Water, Unbreakable

ll be winter in about two months. The village isn't short of food and drink right now, but what we really need is cotton cloth for winter.Fang Jinshu was just about to look for this Liu Yuanwai in th...Jiang Chuang's words just now left a certain impact on the hearts of Mu Shi and Zongjia's siblings. First was Mu Shi, she walked up to Fang Jinshi, seeming hesitant with a hint of guilt on her face.

"Mother, please don't listen to Jiang Chuang's nonsense."

"Don't you know what kind of person our Jinxiu is If we truly thought you were a burden, we wouldn't have brought you to the capital to seek justice."

"A family shouldn't be so nitpicky, right"

Everyone understands the reason, but she still feels indebted and that she has dragged Fang Jinxiu down.

With a look, Zong Yu signaled to Zong Bai and Yu Lian to take their mother back to rest first. Jiang Chuang brought people over to make such a big scene, their mother must have been mentally tense all morning, her body couldn't bear the fatigue.

The two siblings, upon receiving their elder brother's signal, hurriedly circled around Mu Shi, one on each arm.

"Uncle Zong Bai said, 'Mother, my sister-in-law is right. Could it be that we juniors should repay you for our filial piety'"

"A family doesn't speak two different languages. If you continue like this, you are forcing your sister-in-law to distance herself from you, implying that she is an outsider."

Mu hurriedly shook her head and glared at Zong Bai with displeasure.

"Who dares say your sister-in-law is an outsider, mother has never thought so."

Yu Lian replied, “Since you don't feel that way, what are you still hesitating about”

"Didn't your sister-in-law just say that, treating your own family well doesn't require you to tell everyone every detail."

"That person just now was deliberately trying to sow discord between our families. If you keep it to heart, then you'll truly fall into his trap."

Fang Jinshu smiled and lowered her head. At the crucial moment, her younger sister-in-law and younger brother were still very helpful. They truly lived up to all the time she had pampered and nurtured them, making them such good assistants.

Mu was finally persuaded, with several of her children taking turns pleading. Her mind was already dizzy from the back-and-forth, so she could only wave her hand dismissively and say nothing more. She was helped back to her room by Yulian and Zongbai to rest.

Zhao Yunni glanced at Zongyu, then at Jinxiu, her face thoughtful for a moment.

Now Zhao Xingzhou has no distractions, as long as he can stay by Jinxiu's side and see her, regardless of his status, he is content.

Therefore, the hostility towards reputation is not as great as before.

Only after going through so much did he understand that no matter how things turned out between them, Jinxiu's heart would always belong to Zongyu.

He should have seen this reality a long time ago.

If one had recognized it sooner, perhaps a grave mistake could have been avoided.

"Have you guys made up"

Zhao Xingzhou looked at Zong Yu's hand resting on Jinxiu's waist, his tone was beyond calm.

As for Fang Jinshi, she only realized now that she was still being held by Zong Yu. It's fine when there are no outsiders, he can hug and hold her all he wants, but in front of others, she felt a little embarrassed.

She slapped Zong Yu on the back, motioning for him to let go quickly.

Not only did Zongyu refuse to let go, but he pulled the person closer to his chest, also looking at Zhao Xingzhou with a possessive expression.

"I have never inquired as to who he is."

When he first got back home, Zong Bai gave him a general introduction to the whole family, including Long He and Zhao's siblings and what they were responsible for in the house now.

Chang He was from the village, but when he inquired about Zhao Xingzhou, Zong Bo stammered and only gave a general idea, saying that he should ask Jinxiu for specifics.

At that time, his wife was quarreling with him and threatening to divorce him. How dare he ask He could only eat his jealousy in silence every day.

Now that he has the woman's heart set on marrying him and confirmed she won't run away, Zong Yu can finally stand tall with his head held high and be considered legitimate.

His gaze, lingering on Zhao Xingzhou's face, carried a hint of provocation.

Fang Jinxiu shook her head helplessly. How had she not seen this childish side of him before

"Who else could it be, the head of our temple guards! An old acquaintance from Xizhou."

She turned and pinched Zong Yu's sharply defined handsome face, "You knew him before."

"To find out exactly who he is, try to remember on your own."

She was too lazy to explain one by one.

And Fang Jinshu didn't take the initiative to explain Zhao Xingzhou's identity, and there was a bit of selfishness in it.

Back then, Zong Yu wasn't home. If Zhao Xingzhou’s silent contributions behind her back were to be known by Zong Yu, I’m afraid the vinegar jar would be overturned again.

He's not as obedient and easy to appease as he used to be. When he gets jealous, it's almost impossible to handle.

He's playing mind games, trying to find ways to get even with her.

She can't stand it, she really can't.

It's better not to say anything.

But this remark fell on Zong Yu's ears with a different meaning. His eyes darkened, did Jinxiu still mind that he had no memories of the past

He clenched his fists quietly. Fang Jinxiu didn't notice Zong Yu's subtle emotional changes; she was pulled aside by Zhao Yunni.

"Jinxiu, I, I have something to tell you."

"What's with that expression What are you trying to tell me"

Yun Ni's eyes flickered, as if the words that were to come next were somewhat difficult to utter.

Could it be her ex-husband, that scumbag, who found her

"Could it be that Mr. Du is here to find you again" Fang Jinshu guessed.

Zhao Yunni hurriedly shook her head. "No, since I came to the manor, the Du family lost my trace. They don't know I'm here at all and haven't come looking for me."

"Me." She felt awful for the thoughts she'd had before, it was just too unfair to Jinxiu, she, she absolutely had to explain things.

"I'm here to be honest with you about something."

Zhao Yunni gritted her teeth and said, "Before, I thought you really didn't want to be with Zongyu anymore, so I, I had some thoughts about him."

"But I swear, I haven't done anything. I, I just thought that if you don't want him anymore, I, I would be willing to be his concubine or something."

"Jinxiu, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have even thought about wanting your husband."

"I, I just think he's too good to me. Du Feng has never been this good to me before."

Zhao Yunni later thought about it, she was not actually attracted to Zong Yu. She had just seen his good fortune and envied it too much.

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback for a moment before she remembered, she seemed to have seen Zhao Yunni staring at Zong Yu in a daze before, but she didn't take it to heart.

Zhao Xiaowu was pampered and loved by her Zhao family since she was a child. Although Zhao Laoye (the elderly head of the Zhao family) was very unkind to Zhao Xingzhou, his illegitimate son, he was very good to his daughter.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's bones are pure at heart. If she truly believed her character was flawed, she wouldn't have kept them siblings in the manor.

"Yun Ni, I believe in you, and I believe in him even more."

"It's mine, you can't take it. If it's not mine, no one wants it anyway, so I don't care."

Many people have taken a liking to my Ah Yu. If I were to mind every one of them, I wouldn't have time for anything else but jealousy.

Besides, I know you don't really like Ayi.

"When you like someone, the look in their eyes isn't like that."

She finished her sentence and suddenly, a feeling of contentment washed over her. She turned her head towards Zong Yu's direction, and as expected, he had been looking at her the whole time.

They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes were so sweet they seemed to be able to stretch. They were so sticky with affection.

Zhao Xingzhou smiled, turned and walked out. The guards had already withdrawn with Zong Bai and the others.

Zhao Yun only realized it later, turning to look at Fang Jinshi. That's when he understood what it meant to look at someone you like.

Tenderness like water, never let go.a few words, how can that be blamed on us!This person who's talking is also a descendant of several tribal leaders. They are good at stirring up trouble during gatherings, and when someone dies, they...
