Chapter 823: Really Unbecoming

m, village head Wang's attitude was somewhat more restrained.However, Li wasn't on their side, so Wang the village head didn't have much to fear."Uncle Zong, I didn't mean to harm them. Back when ever...This gang of unscrupulous scoundrels swindled Wang's mother out of everything.

But Wang Mama also played it smart. She didn't reveal her true identity to these thugs, nor would she tell anyone who her real boss was.

Fan Jinshu listened and frowned.

These people are motivated by money and wouldn't necessarily need to deceive her. Moreover, the information they provided was practically useless.

Except that I knew the person who hired them to cause trouble was surnamed Wang's mother, I didn't know anything else.

"Madam, we have told you everything we know. Please remove the poison from us."

"We don't want to die."

Fang Jinshu gave Chang He a look across the river, then turned and went back to the courtyard. She hadn't even finished packing her things.

Those people turned their gaze to the long river, staring at him eagerly.

This young man in front of us has a kind face and looks very approachable. He shouldn't give them a hard time, right

"Little brother, please, little brother, give us the antidote."

Chang He raised an eyebrow. Having been by Jinxiu's side for so long, he had come to understand one thing deeply.

The good are exploited by the wicked, and the strong are ridden by the powerful.

They've only just moved in, and someone already dares to hire people to break in and kidnap them. They really don't care about others at all.

No matter what their purpose is, today they had to make an example out of someone.

"Come here, tie these people up and hang them at the entrance. Then send someone to report to the authorities."

Several burly men were taken aback by Chang He's words.

"Spare me, sir! Please show mercy!"

"We've told her everything we know! You're betraying us!"

The Long River sneered, "Didn't our mistress pay you with gold"

Besides, when did our madam ever say she would let you go

"Take it with you."

The guards nodded and dragged several burly men out, hanging them under the eaves by the door like cured meat. They let out howls of pain and protest.

Until the officials arrived, inquired about the cause and effect, and then took people away.

These people were only arrested for trespassing, at most they would be held for a while and then released.

Even if they wanted to come back for revenge, Fang Jinxiu would already have moved into the Jingwangfu by then. If they had the guts, they could come to the mansion and seek revenge.

"The appearance of this Wang Mama is really suspicious."

"We've only been in the capital for a few days, and someone dares to break into our home and grab people This capital city is supposed to be under the emperor's feet, how come it feels more chaotic than our village"

Mu frowned, packing her things as she spoke.

Fang Jinshu stood by her other side, adjusting her close-fitting garments.

"Mother, rest assured, this will never happen again."

"If Ah Yu were home, these people certainly wouldn't be so arrogant," sighed Mu.

For the past three years, Fang Jinxiu has rarely brought up Zong Yu on her own accord, especially after he failed to return as promised. The name "Zong Yu" became a taboo subject for Fang Jinxiu.

Besides the Mu family, probably no one else dared to mention Fang Jinshu in front of her.

Mu just finished speaking, her face suddenly changed color, she had spoken too quickly and couldn't take it back.

"Hey, Jinxiu."

Mu quickly looked at her daughter-in-law's face, trying to make amends.

"Oh, Ah-yu, he's really not behaving."

"Mother, I did not mean to bring this up."

Mu Shi stammered, completely at a loss for words.

Fāng Jǐnxiù stacked her clothes expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard what the old woman said.

But Mu knew she had heard, only as before, did not respond.

She sighed and gave up explaining.

Because I really don't know how to persuade him.

Her husband left home, leaving his wife and children behind to shoulder the burdens alone. She has endured so many years of hardship.

Even though Zongyu was her biological son, she couldn't speak up for him in front of his daughter-in-law.

Mu Shi recalled the scene when her daughter-in-law was pregnant with Yuan Bao. How many times at night did her legs cramp, and she couldn't turn over in sleep All these subtle pains were endured alone by her daughter-in-law.

Jinxiu was a stubborn child, disliking exposing her vulnerable side to others.

She rarely spoke of the hardships she endured, bearing them with gritted teeth.

Especially on the day of Jinshu's delivery, her situation was extremely dangerous. If she hadn't been a doctor herself and prepared so many life-saving herbs in advance, it would have been hard to say whether she and the baby would have survived.

Which woman wouldn't want her husband by her side at all times

After giving birth, Jinxiu didn't utter a single complaint. She continued to care for everyone in the family wholeheartedly and strive to make life better.

But Mu Shi knew deep down, that being strong didn't mean not feeling pain.

Before, when Ah Yu was at home, Jinxiu would voice her pains and tiredness. Now, she only reports good news and hides her worries, seeing herself as a solid barrier protecting her entire family.

patiently enduring all wind and rain.

Thinking about this, Mrs. Mu felt even more sorry for her daughter-in-law. Even she, as a mother, couldn't help but blame her son. She had promised Jinshiu that he would return in three years, but she broke her promise and hasn't sent any news back until now.

This is outrageous.t of people."Second sister, don't ask anymore. You're finally living a good life now, I can see it these past few days. The people in the family are quite good to you.""Knowing that you're doing well,...
