Chapter 772: Resolute, Yet Ruthless

footsteps behind her.Zong Yulian thought it was her sister-in-law and Zong Bai who had found their eldest brother and returned together. She turned around in surprise, but her expression immediately...Fāng Jǐnxiù hurried to the gate of Bǎi Cuì Yuán. She just came out of Zōng Yúlín's room when Zhào Xīngzhōu followed right behind her.

After Su Yusheng soothed Zong Yulian, he also hurried over.

Fang Jinshui didn't care about the few people following her. She walked straight to the door and glanced at the two guards at the gate.

"I want to see Gu Liusheng."

The guard at the gate had a good memory and recognized Fang Jinshui. The two locked eyes, knowing this was the master's esteemed guest, but neither dared to act without orders and let him in.

"Lady Zong, it wasn't that I intentionally obstructed you. My master is not currently in the garden."

"Even if you go in, you won't see anyone."

Fang Jinxiu frowned slightly, "Where is Gu Liusheng now"

The guard shook his head, "This little person doesn't know."

They were just two guard dogs, how could they possibly know the master's whereabouts.

Fang Jinshi knew they weren't lying, Gu Liusheng wasn't at home. He had gone somewhere else with Zongyu

"Divine Physician Fang, how do you know it was Boss Gu who took Big Brother Zong"

"Did I get this wrong"

In the carriage, Fang Jinshi shook her head firmly.

"Yes, it must be Gu Liusheng."

To be precise, it was Gu Feng who took Zong Yu away.

Su Yusheng paused for a moment, "Well, since you're so sure that Boss Gu took Big Brother Zong away, you must know the reason, right"

Once we figure out Gu Liusheng's purpose in taking Zong Yu, it'll be much easier to find him. At least we won't be running around blindly like headless flies.

Fang Jinshu suddenly remembered something, "When did the imperial court move the border to Muzhou"

"Seems like, today's the day."

As soon as the imperial court signs the deed of cession for the land in Xizhou, the armies of both countries will naturally immediately redraw the lines and move the boundary markers.

"Is that so."

"Well, I suppose I can wait another day."

From the moment she guessed that Gu Liusheng had taken Zong Yu away, Fang Jinxiu completely calmed down.

She knew Gu Liusheng's purpose in taking Zong Yu, but she wasn't sure where he had taken him.

But as soon as today passes, she will be able to confirm the whereabouts of Zong Yu.

Su Yusheng was confused. He didn't quite understand why Fang Jinshu wanted to wait another day, sometimes acting anxious and looking for people, and other times appearing not so worried.

This didn't stop her from respectfully inviting people home and treating them to delicious food and drink.

And she also had to find a way to keep Zong Yulian, concealing Fang Jinshi's leg injury from her.

After returning to the Su family, Fang Jinshu didn't plan to idle around. She still had some time, and she planned to prepare some things for her journey.

At nearly five months pregnant, her belly had already begun to swell. After lying down for so long, her body was no longer as strong as it used to be.

After just a short while of this, I felt a dizziness in my head. When I entered, my feet weren't steady and I swayed.

Zhao Xingzhou kept pace behind her, seeing this he hurriedly reached out to take it.

Fang Jinshu first steadied herself by holding onto the doorframe, dodging Zhao Xingzhou's hand.

"Master Fang Shenyi, are you alright"

Su Yusheng stepped forward and asked, "Shall I help you find a doctor"

He glanced at Fang Jinshi's belly and couldn't help but persuade her for a few words.

"I know you're worried about your husband, but you're not alone now. You still need to take care of yourself."

Fang Jinshu nodded, a touch of surprise in her eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Su."

Su Yusheng actually had such a considerate side.

Zhao Xingzhou watched silently from behind, his heart aching with envy.

Why could she be so kind to everyone, even someone like Su Yusheng, who received her thanks, but to me, she only showed coldness and indifference

Su Yusheng smiled, she wasn't afraid that Fang Jinshu also had a good fate, was Yu Lian more worried

Fang Jinshu suddenly turned around, her gaze falling on Zhao Xingzhou. But in an instant, she looked away.

Even for just a fleeting moment, it was enough to make Zhao Xingzhou's eyes light up, and his feet unconsciously moved closer to her.

"Do you have something for me to do"

He couldn't bring himself to call Zhao Xingzhou "master" in front of Su Yusheng.

Fang Jinshu raised her cold eyes, "Since Zong Yu's disappearance has nothing to do with you, I will honor my promise and tear up that contract. You can leave now."

"From today onwards, we are no longer connected. You are free."

Zhao Xingzhou stood there, dumbfounded. No, he didn't want freedom!

"Are you going to kick me out"

"No, Fang Jinxiu, you're still pregnant now. There's no one around you to help you. Please, let me stay."

"I can do anything, I can help you find a good reputation."

"I'll go all out to gather intel for you."

Before he could finish his words, Fang Jinshi interrupted him.

"No need."

Determined, also merciless.ing madam's words, the prince said that since madam has just arrived in Muzhou City, she must be unfamiliar with the place. So he asked me to stay and be at your disposal.""No matter what Madam wishes...
