rked.My life was stolen, how could I not be heartbroken Maybe I'll have to go to her and complain about it later.Fang Jinshi thought for a moment, since her sister was uneasy living at home, she might..."Although the mother-in-law's illness is serious, it's not so severe that she won't make it through tonight."

"The medicinal herbs I collected today can be used right away. I'll go brew her a tonic first to stabilize her condition temporarily."

A loud thump at the door, Zong Yu tossed the wild boar onto the ground and hurried to her side.

"Will you really cure me"

His expression was a bit agitated. Such a tough face, showing such an eager and sad expression, even with a hint of vulnerability, made Fang Jinshi feel a little heartbroken.

"Don't worry, I can cure your mother-in-law's illness, but I still need some herbs."

Before her time travel, Fang Jinxiu had majored in Traditional Chinese Medicine and had also worked in the industry for many years.

Back then, she graduated from school with top honors. Plus, with the blessing of Lingquan Water in her hands, curing tuberculosis was a piece of cake.

So her confidence at this time was truly genuine.

At this point, Zong Yi didn't even care about Jinxiu's unusual status. He immediately asked.

"What else do you need Just make a list, and I'll get it for you."

"No rush, I'll go brew some medicine for my mother-in-law first to stabilize her condition."

Tomorrow I want to go to town with you.

Fang Jinshu's words now carried the weight of an imperial decree. Zong Yu, how dare he refuse He nodded repeatedly.

Zong Yulian couldn't hold back and rushed out again.

"Big brother, do you really believe this woman's words"

"Maybe she wants to kill her mother sooner so we can be free from her."

"Fang Jinshi, do you dislike our family because we're poor That's why you deliberately angered Uncle and Grandma, creating conflict between us so that we'll never have a good life again"

If you hadn't provoked my grandma, she wouldn't have argued with mother, and mother wouldn't have fainted from anger!

Zong Bai helplessly pulled his younger sister.

"Everyone said this wasn't Sister-in-law's fault, Yu Lian, what's wrong with you today, why are you being so unreasonable."

"My sister-in-law said she could cure mom's illness."

"If she wanted to kill mother, why would she make licorice juice and save her in the afternoon"

"Humph! I'm not doing this to gain your trust!"

She thought that since we brought her back home with five taels of silver, we must have more money on hand.

"Now that I know the family is poor, I'm changing my mind and want to make my mother angry to death!"

Zong Bai simply didn't know what his sister was talking about. Usually, he and his older brother treated Yu Lian like a precious treasure, after all, she was their only sister.

I've never said anything harsh to her.

This time, Zongbei was really angry.

You're being completely unreasonable and disruptive!

Zong Yulian stared at her second brother in disbelief.

Fang Jinshu was too lazy to listen to their arguments. She had already turned around and gone out to deal with the medicinal herbs.

Zongyu wanted to follow up and help, but she refused.

"Nevermind, I can do it myself. It's not a big deal."

She glanced at the room, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "You, aren't you thinking the same thing as your sister"

Zong Yu frowned slightly, a flash of urgency crossing his face.

Fang Jinshu saw the situation and felt relieved. Whether others believed her or not didn't matter.

Ultimately, it was her husband's view that mattered most. His opinion of her would decide whether she could continue to live in the Zong family.

"As long as you believe in me."

"I will definitely make sure nothing happens to my mother-in-law."

Fang Jinshu smiled and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Zongyu started a fire for her. In the pitch-black night, besides the faint moonlight, there was finally a glimmer of warmth.

He returned to Mu's room. The three siblings didn't know what they had said, but gradually things became quiet inside, and the arguing ended.

Fang Jinshi added a small bowl of Lingquan water to the pot of medicine. The smell of medicine in the house suddenly became much stronger.

There was also a faint, refreshing and alluring scent mingled in.

After the medicine was cooked, she brought it to Mu's bedside and let Zongyu feed it to him personally.

She was so tired that night, sleep coming in waves. The three siblings of the Zong family guarded Mu's bedside, none willing to leave.

Zong Yu turned his head and saw Fang Jinxiu sitting on a small stool leaning against the wall, her head nodding like a chick pecking at rice. He walked over and picked her up.

"I'll send her back to bed. You should get some rest too. I'll stay here and keep watch over mother tonight."

But Zong Bai disagreed.

"Brother, why don't we stay and guard here You and sister-in-law should go rest. You still have to travel to town tomorrow."ple in the clan knew about it, not even Zong Yu. She didn't dare to elaborate on it much.She wasn't afraid of gossip, but she wasn't alone now.The most fundamental reason I didn't tell my family about...
