Chapter 935 What Happened Next?

ned black. He pointed at Zong Hu’s nose and shouted, “You rebellious wretch! For an outsider, you dare to stop me Do you even have the face to call me grandpa”"What business is it of yours when my tur...After that, Zhao Yunni became the housekeeper of Jinshu Mountain Villa's inner courtyard. Chang He was after all a man, and managing the inner courtyard brought many inconveniences. With Zhao Yunni coming in to fill this vacancy, it was just right.

Chang He let out a sigh of relief.

"After that, all matters concerning the inner courtyard would be left to Zhao GuGu."

Zhao Yunni solemnly accepted this task. No one in the family opposed it, but everyone was happy for her.

During the time that Zhao Yunni moved into the manor, everyone could see that she was very uncomfortable and didn't know how to behave. She always kept to herself and couldn't integrate.

Now, she has also become a member of Jinshu Mountain Villa. In the future, she won't be so embarrassed anymore.

From the powerful clans to the humble Yuan Bao, all masters and mistresses were skilled at managing their own affairs. Working for a clan was incredibly easy, not just physically but also mentally.

A harmonious relationship between master and servant means that those serving do not need to live in constant fear.

After dealing with Zhao Yuni's matter, Fang Jinshu turned around and came face to face with Zong Yu, who was still haunting him.

He followed her everywhere she went.

That evening, Mother and Zong Baiyu and the others all looked strange. Since they had finally escaped this great disaster, Fang Jinshi wanted to cook a big feast to comfort everyone in the house.

The Mu family misunderstood, thinking that although their daughter-in-law was angry on the surface, she still prepared a welcome banquet for A Yu.

She thought this sumptuous dinner was specially prepared by Fang Jinshu for Zong Yu and Zhao Yun.

Not only did the Mu family misunderstand, but almost everyone else in the house thought so too.

It's surprising that no one thought of this as a meal to soothe their tense emotions.

During the meal, the table was unusually quiet. Mu shi nudged Yu Lian under the table, and Yu Lian understood what her mother meant.

The sister-in-law ignores her brother-in-law, what can she do about it.

She couldn't possibly change her sister-in-law's mind, and besides, their mother had said herself that it was the eldest brother who deserved this.

You reap what you sow.

When Jade Lily didn't see him, she turned her head and sat down at Zhao Yunni's table.

Now, meals at home are not like they used to be, with masters and servants eating together. After the last Hundred Vegetables Feast, Xiaoyue insisted that the masters eat at one table, while the maidservants had their own small table set up separately nearby.

Once the masters had finished their meal, they sat down at a small table to eat, lest the next time guests came, Madam would be criticized by others for the servants' lack of decorum.

Jade Lotus suddenly sat down, startling the others. Jade Lotus acted as if nothing had happened and told them to keep quiet and hurry up and eat.

Sitting over there is kind of affecting my appetite, the atmosphere is too weird.

Mu Shi glared at her daughter with displeasure. Yu Lian ignored her, so Mu Shi turned her gaze to Zong Bai instead.

Zong Bai dared not avoid it as openly as Yu Lian. He could only grit his teeth, stand up, and raise his cup to toast his elder brother.

"Big brother, Zhao Yun, congratulations on your victory and safe return."

"This junior bows to you with this cup."

Zong Bai's words were a bit awkward, but they finally broke the silence at the dinner table.

Zongyu gave his younger brother face by raising his cup and finishing the drink in one go, then gestured for him to sit down.

Zhao Yun chuckled, "This time, we were able to win a glorious victory and return safely. I have to thank Brother Yu for this."

The man seemed particularly interested in the battlefield topics, and Zong Bai, this scholar, was no exception.

“Oh Could Brother Zhao Yun tell me in detail about your battle experience on the battlefield Were the Wu Meng army particularly ferocious”

Speaking of Zhao Yun, there's much to say.

"It's more than just brutality!"

"The process is too long, I could tell you about a few particularly dangerous battles instead."

After two cups of wine, Zhao Yun's conversation flowed freely.

Even Lian Mu and Xiao Yue listened with rapt attention, as if all their thoughts were carried into that war by his few words. Their brows furrowed in surprise and tension at times.

"You don't know how dangerous the situation was back then. Two thousand right-wing soldiers were all trapped in a pit set by the Umon army and stuck in the mountains for three days and three nights."

"Hungry and thirsty, all they could do was grab handfuls of icy snow and shove it into their mouths, imagining it as steaming buns and fragrant roast chicken legs."

"They wouldn't be able to hold out like this."

Ms. Mu was getting older, she couldn't bear to hear these children around the same age as her son suffering like this, her brow furrowed like a knotted rope.

And then what How did you escape

Zhao Yun let out a "hehe" chuckle, so caught up in his momentary victory that he patted Zong Yu's shoulder. He was immediately slapped back to reality and hastily withdrew his hand, stammering apologies to Zong Yu.

"Sorry, Brother Yu, my subordinate drank too much. I drank too much."

After apologizing, he continued the previous topic, but only looked at Zong Yu as he spoke.

"Of course, it was our brilliant General Zong who, relying on his extraordinary wisdom and physical strength, perseverance, decided to go all in when everyone else was about to give up."

After scaling the snow-capped mountains and traversing the treacherous cliffs behind them, the lone soldier found himself facing a seemingly impassable barrier. The Umeng army had deemed that area indefensible, believing it impossible for anyone to have climbed over such a formidable obstacle.

"Brother Yu did it. After breaking through, he set fire to the Mengwu army's grain reserves, and while they were in chaos, he led us to carve out a bloody path."

Not knowing where to begin, Zhao Yun's playful smile had vanished from his face. This battle had cost him several close comrades who had fought alongside him for years, a truly brutal experience.

The situation back then was far more complex than he could convey in just a few casual remarks.

And then

Yu Lian didn't know when she had sat back down. Seeing Zhao Yun fall silent mid-sentence, she couldn't help but speak up. whether her family had children, Li Lie truly didn't care."Hee hee, Master Li is joking. You don't look like that kind of person at all."Fang Jinxiu felt a little uneasy in her heart. Li Lie's eyes j...
