Chapter 667: Calm Down

since Wang Yana married into the family, she felt that the Zong family's actions were wrong.But as a junior daughter-in-law, she had no right to speak up about the family affairs of her in-laws' clan....Zongyu's mood was indeed a bit troubled. He ran a little further ahead, it was true that he was scouting the way, but also true that he wanted to temporarily vent his feelings and didn't dare to confront his wife.

Liu Qi's words, Zhao Xingzhou's words, and even Fu Ming's, made every man feel that they weren't worthy of their own wives.

Even he himself thought so.

He still held the letter of recommendation that Lord Pan had written for him in his bosom. With war imminent in Xizhou, this was a perfect opportunity for him to join the army and make his mark.

He was a rough man who could not, like his second brother Zong Bai, achieve fame through the imperial examinations. He also lacked his wife's skill in business and managing their family property.

This matter has always been a thorn in Zong Yu's side. The two people's positions are becoming increasingly unequal, and he will only become more and more anxious.

Even if, hypothetically, the daughter-in-law only cared about him as a person and nothing else mattered.

The Western Regions are about to go to war. As Loushui County is so close to the border of Wumeng Nation, it's only a matter of time before the flames of war reach here.

Why would his wife rush to Mùzhōu on such a cold snowy day It's all in preparation for the future.

But that's not right. Protecting your family, giving your loved woman a peaceful life, and ensuring she is free from worry about food and clothing should be the responsibility of a husband.

His family, however, did everything in reverse. He hid under his wife's protection and relied on her to run errands and make plans for everything.

After Zong Yu found an inn to rest at, he immediately returned. However, halfway there, he encountered Shen Li and Fu Ming who were searching for him in a carriage.

He rushed forward in surprise, and Shen Li stopped his carriage when he saw him.

"Brother Zong, where is Sister Jinxiu Wasn't she here to see you Why isn't she with you" Fu Ming poked his head out and asked hurriedly.

Zongyu's face changed color, "When did she come to look for me"

Oh no!

Before Fu Ming could answer, Zong Yu realized something was wrong with Jinxiu. He ran back and forth along the path, desperately searching.

Fang Jinshi, buried in the snow and unconscious, only felt a chill all over her body, as if she had been placed in a freezer.

When she was in and out of consciousness, she sensed hands lifting her up.

But the person holding her smelled strange, not like Zongyu.

She struggled desperately, but reality was that she remained dizzy and couldn't even lift her hand.

A young man in exotic garb reached out and touched Fang Jinxiu's smooth cheek, chuckling softly.

"Didn't expect to find such a beautiful woman right as I got here."

Put her in the carriage.

When Zongyu came back, he just happened to brush past this carriage. He suddenly stopped and backed up to intercept it.

"Excuse me, have you seen a young woman"

Zong Yu pointed at the carriage driver, describing Fang Jinxiu's height, appearance, and clothing. The carriage driver shook his head vigorously and spoke in a jumble of foreign languages. Zong Yu was taken aback.

People from Wumeng

There were indeed quite a few merchants from the Wu Meng Kingdom within Xi Zhou's borders. Zong Yu only blinked in surprise, not taking it to heart.

The coachman waved his hand vigorously, apparently he hadn't seen it.

He continued to search frantically ahead.

From dawn till dusk, and from dusk till dawn.

For a whole day and night, Zong Yu searched, turning over every stone on the road, but he found no trace of Jinxiu.

The heavy snow had completely covered Fang Jinshu's tracks.

Zong Yu's face turned pale with fear as he returned to the inn where Shen Li and Fu Ming were staying.

As soon as I pushed open the door, I hurriedly looked inside and asked eagerly, "Has Jinshu returned"

Shen Li's heart sank half when he heard him ask that.

"No."

Zongyu only held onto a sliver of hope, coming back to see if Jinxiu had also found the inn. Perhaps she would be waiting for them here.

When Shen Li said no, he didn't say a word and went out to look for someone else.

Fu Ming hurriedly winked at Shen Li, signaling him to hold the person back.

"Let go!" Zongyu's mind was highly unstable now, teetering on the brink of a breakdown at any moment.

His bloodshot eyes glinted with murderous intent. These two people actually let Jinshu leave alone If anything happened to Jinshu, he wouldn't care who Fu Ming was.

He's sure to kill them and bury them with Jinshu!

Shen Li saw a strong killing intent in Zong Yu's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

Even though Zong Yu's skill was formidable, he held back a bit when sparring while conscious.

If he were to attack them in this frenzied state, Shen Li couldn't guarantee he could protect his master unharmed.

No, we can't anger this madman.

Shen Li hurriedly spoke, "You searched so carefully along this road for such a long time, yet you couldn't even find a corner of Madam Zong's clothing."

Maybe she's perfectly fine, or maybe she was rescued a long time ago.

If she's alright, she'll definitely find a way to come back to you.

"Lady Zong is so intelligent, she must be blessed by heaven. Calm down."ces at home, any imbalance I felt has disappeared.At least, she had her loving mother and brothers growing up, while Little Caotang, besides her sister-in-law, had nothing.Even her own parents didn't...
