d in agreement with Zong Hu."Yeah, Zongyu is really a skilled hunter.""I've always heard my father say you could kill a wild boar with one punch. To be honest, I never saw it with my own eyes and was...Chapter 1132: This Method Is Feasible

Zong Yulian had thought that the front hall would be packed with people, her whole family there.

To my surprise, I found only the two of them here.

Fang Jinshu let go of her and looked at her surprised expression, saying in a bad mood.

"Think I'd tell mother and your older brother"

Yulian giggled and immediately leaned in to hug Fang Jinshu's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so angry I know it was wrong of me to act without telling you. The other day, Yuan Xiang's men almost killed you. I was really furious."

“Others can’t do it, I still can’t pry a corner of his business and make him lose some money, won't he suffer”

Zong Yulian saw Fang Jinshu didn't speak, nor did she continue to scold her. She thought her words had worked and softened her sister-in-law's heart. Just as she was about to continue, Fang Jinshu turned her gaze over, just one glance made her instinctively close her mouth.

Sister-in-law's eyes, seem like she hasn't let it go.

"Do you know why I didn't tell Big Brother and Mom"

Zong Yulian shook her head honestly.

"Zong Yulian, don't you know that you are only eighteen years old What kind of place is a flower house Is it a place where a marriageable young lady from a noble family can frequent"

"Zong Yulian wasn't convinced. She immediately pointed to her male attire and her disguised face."

"Wearing like this and still having Mugwort help me disguise myself, no one would recognize my identity as a woman."

"Sister-in-law, you're worrying too much."

Fang Jinshu saw that she didn't realize her mistake at all and didn't seem to care. She was so angry that she didn't want to say anything more.

"You've really let me down. You keep saying you know you were wrong, is that how you show you know"

The Zong family was no longer the common folk who lived in seclusion in the mountains and relied solely on hunting for a living. If Lord Zong hadn't been awarded the title of Marquis, the Zong family would have simply been one of many wealthy merchants in Xi Zhou. Of course, Yu Lian could do whatever she wanted.

She's notorious, so they set up a matchmaking event for her. When she sets her sights on the business world, they pour money into it and support her wholeheartedly.

No matter how much trouble she caused in Xizhou, with her and her two brothers protecting her, at least Yulian would never be in any danger in her lifetime.

Ke's family is different now. They are in a high position, and every move they make is watched by countless pairs of eyes. There is even a chancellor in the court who wants to kill their entire family at any moment.

As a young lady from a noble family, if Yu Lian's reputation were to be tarnished, even if she wished to find a husband, it would be difficult to do so.

No matter what she does, in the end, she will inevitably become a laughingstock to others. Yu Lian is proud and arrogant, she can ignore rumors for a while, but what if it lasts a lifetime

"Sister-in-law."

Jade Lotus had never seen her sister-in-law look at her with such anger. Fearfully, she pursed her lips and swallowed the words that had reached her mouth, daring not to speak anymore.

Seeing that she had frightened Jade Lotus, Fang Jinxiu's heart softened a little. She adjusted her tone and said.

“This time, you must be punished so that you will learn your lesson. I sentence you to three months of house arrest, forbidding you from leaving the Hou residence.”

"Reflect carefully at home, and think about where you went wrong."

Zong Yulian immediately shook her head, panicked.

"No way, sister-in-law! How can I be confined at home for three months The Hongxiang Building just opened not long ago. If there's no one to manage it, the business will soon be taken over by other flower houses."

"And I promised those girls."

Fang Jinshu cast a withering glare, and Yu Lian's voice instantly vanished.

"I'll take care of your Hongxiang Building for you."

"If you don't reflect properly, your time confined will only be extended."

"I won't tell your mother and elder brother about this, consider it a favor to save you face. You should go back to your own courtyard and rest."

Yu Lian wore a pleading expression, but Fang Jinxiu pretended not to see and turned her gaze away.

She knew this time her sister-in-law was truly angry and didn't dare say anything more, afraid of making her angrier. If she did, her sister-in-law might extend the three-month confinement to six months, and then she would be in real trouble.

To be cooped up in the Hou Mansion for half a year, unable to go out, wouldn't that be unbearable.

"Alright, sister-in-law, don't be too angry. I'll reflect on this when I get back."

Yu Lian walked away listlessly, turning her head back every three steps. There was still a glimmer of hope in her heart that her sister-in-law would soften and shorten her confinement.

Fang Jinxiu knew her little scheme. Before Yulian had even stepped across the threshold of the front hall, she took the lead and left first.

Yulian watched her sister-in-law's hurried retreating figure and let out a heavy sigh.

Where did I go wrong Alright, time to reflect.

On the way back to the main courtyard, Fang Jinshu suddenly remembered something and stopped in her tracks.

"Xiaoyue, what about the masked man who was with Yulian"

Xiaoyue pondered for a moment before remembering that Fang Jinshu wanted to ask about someone.

"Is it Asheng that Madam is talking about"

Fan Jinshu frowned, "It's the slave wearing a mask I brought back from the manor."

Xiao Yue nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's Asheng."

“I distinctly saw him when I was blocking Yu Lian in the front yard just now. How come I can’t find him after a blink of an eye”

"This kid is purposely hiding from me. Go get him for me."

Xiao Yue glanced at the sky and couldn't help but remind Fang Jinshu.

"Madam, the Marquis said he's coming back to sleep tonight. It's not too late now, and the Marquis could return at any moment. If we call Ah Sheng to the main courtyard now, and the Marquis sees him, it will be over for us."

Fan Jinshu was like someone waking from a dream, nodding vigorously.

"Yeah, yeah, you see my brain, it's all messed up because of that jade lotus girl."

"Do not let Zongyu meet him."

"Then tomorrow, wait until Ah Yu goes out and then call Ah Sheng over. I have something to ask him."

Otherwise, that big vinegar jar, the man who eats vinegar indiscriminately would be even more energetic at night to toss her around.

Although her husband was exceptionally skilled in bed, she was a woman of good fortune.

But being too outstanding is really unkind to human spines. When Ah Yu isn't angry or jealous, the two of them will be particularly harmonious in their intimacy, and he will also be more gentle, listening to her, and not overdoing it with her.

Xiaoyue, the only maidservant who had served the couple for so many years, was intimately familiar with their temperaments.

The Marquis truly loved his wife, but he was just too jealous.

Sometimes, when leaving the house, even seeing Zhao Shiwei and his wife standing a little closer together would make his face turn several shades worse.

Xiao Yue had lived for so many years and had served in some wealthy families for a long time. She had never seen any man who cherished his wife as much as the Marquis.

However, the wife is also very good. She knows what the Marquis dislikes and pampers him a lot.

As they were speaking, the sound of Zong Yu's voice came from not far away.

"Whom do you want to ask"

"Why wait until I'm out to ask Just have someone come now, and I'll ask for you."

Fang Jinshu's expression stiffened, and she exchanged a glance with Xiaoyue.

No way, you heard that by such a coincidence

Madam, don't be afraid. The Marquis didn't hear clearly and seems not to know you are looking for A Sheng.

Just make up some excuse like you always do.

Xiao Yue thought to herself, sometimes it's quite easy to coax the Lord. Just rush up and give him a hug and a kiss, and he immediately turns red in the ears and loses.

In her heart, Fang Jinshi gave Xiaoyue a big thumbs up.

She's truly her most reliable maidservant, this method works! martial artists were slightly better. In a one-on-one fight, no one would be his match.But with so many people attacking together, Shen Li couldn't quickly solve them.What can be done will be done, i...
