Chapter 981 In the End, Everything Went Wrong

e county magistrate We can bring some yamen officers with us to deal with those bandits. There's safety in numbers."Zong Yu shook his head, "It's too late, every moment we delay, Tie Zhu is in more da...Yesterday morning, all the masters and servants in Jinshi Mountain Villa surprisingly overslept. Even Mu Shi, who rarely slept in, didn't get up until almost noon.

As the head of the inner house now, Zhao Yunni is responsible for the meals and daily routines of all the ladies in the household. After checking on her younger brother's injuries this morning, she came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two mistresses and the young misses.

But to my surprise, the moment I stepped into the kitchen, I was startled.

Zong Yu, with his massive frame, suddenly appeared, holding a tray in his hand, almost colliding with Zhao Yun Ni.

Zhao Yunni's face flushed red when she saw who it was, because Zong Yu had gotten up early to work and wasn't fully dressed.

He was flushed, finding clothes constricting. Used to going shirtless among all men in the army, his shirt hung loosely on him; the collar was slightly open and the sleeves rolled up to his upper arms, revealing a body sculpted with smooth lines and solid muscle.

His scorching breath washed over me.

Zhao Yunni was no longer an innocent little girl. At first glance, the blush on the man's face was an unconscious reaction.

She turned around in a fluster, her blush spreading from her face to her neck, and she stammered as she spoke.

"General Zong, General Zong, how...how are you here in the kitchen so early."

Zongyu frowned, as if he was used to having so many strange women in the house besides his mother, sister, and daughter-in-law.

"Do your own job, and mind your own business." Zong Yu's voice was cold. After speaking, he held the tray and left the kitchen.

But this scene was seen right by Fang Jinshu, who was not far away.

Xiaoyue hurriedly explained to Zongyu.

"Master and Zhao the Manager must have just bumped into each other accidentally, Madam. Don't think too much about it."

"Zhao Guanli's life was saved by you, she would never betray you."

Fang Jinshi wore an indifferent expression. "Forget it, I'll tell Yuan Bao later that the kitchen has already prepared breakfast and it's not suitable to make omelets again. We'll have too much for breakfast and it will be a waste."

"I'll make it for him with my own hands tomorrow."

If it weren't for Yuanbao waking up this morning and clamoring for his mother to make him scrambled eggs, she might still be asleep in bed dreaming. She has been quite tired lately.

But as she turned to leave, the image of Zhao Yun's blushing face flashed in her mind, and she felt a bit uncomfortable.

Fang Jinshi also felt that she might have overthought things. She had personally witnessed the character of the Zhao siblings, and if they could betray her after all this, then she must have been blind to see people and deserved it.Yaotou would agree to that too.""After all, she's not as jealous and petty as you."Hu Ai-lan's expression faltered for a moment, her face turning rather grim.This Zhao, when it's time to speak, all th...
