it. She just felt that since she had made a deal with Fu Ming, she should naturally make reasonable use of them as master and servant. There were some things she was not convenient to do herself, so s...Miss Zhao Wu's room also had two serving maids. When they saw Fang Jinxiu arrive, they all eagerly greeted her.

"Miss Su, you're here at last! Come have a look at my young lady."

Fang Jinshu arrived at the bedside, “Don’t worry, tell me what happened first. When did your young lady faint What happened before she fainted Did she eat or drink anything Tell me everything.”

She questioned the maid while simultaneously feeling Zhao Wujie's pulse. Her pulse was fluctuating quite a bit. Last time, her pulse had been thin like a thread, narrow, indicating a deficiency pattern. Her Qi and blood were deficient, which is common in most chronic patients.

This time it seems you were angered

"Our young mistress fainted after learning that your master and the third young master had sent people to make things difficult for you. At the time, the young mistress was worried about you and rushed to plead with your master."

"He fainted right at the entrance of the hospital."

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback, she hadn't expected it to be because he was worried about her.

"Okay, I understand."

"Your young mistress has some signs of a fever, hurry and get a basin of boiling water."

The maid received Fang Jinshi's orders and nodded repeatedly before bustling off.

She looked at the Fifth Miss lying on the bed with a complex expression. These siblings were really, making her feel very embarrassed.

Fang Jinxiu took out a piece of white lingzhi from the space and used the mortar left by other doctors in the room to grind it into powder. Then she poured a cup of spirit spring water and mixed it with the powder, feeding it to the fifth young lady.

With this, she could wake up quickly without having to take any other medication.

The maidservants brought hot water, and the moment the door opened, they heard Zhao Xingzhou's voice arguing with his father.

"You really think I care about being Zhao Family's Ninth Young Master"

"Am I not just a tool for you to curry favor with the Liu family, as the ninth young master That Liu family's daughter fancies me, and you lot are after the dozens of acres of woodland on the outskirts of the Liu family estate. That land is closest to the water canal from Luoshui City, perfect for cultivation."

Although the drought had not passed, Luoshui City appeared normal on the surface. In reality, vegetable prices had already risen several times their original value. This was despite the county magistrate's strenuous efforts to suppress them.

The profit from vegetables is incredibly high. Using his son, who is essentially dispensable, to exchange for a piece of land as valuable as Liu's, this deal is undeniably profitable no matter how you look at it.

No one in the Zhao family had ever considered his feelings or asked him if he was willing to marry Liu's ugly daughter.

"Including why you suddenly agreed to let me get involved in Zhao family business, wasn't it all because of lighting up Liu's disgraced daughter"

Zhao Fangshi's plans were sarcastically stated by his son, making him feel embarrassed and furious.

"So what if it is Marriages are decided by parents! The Liu family is quite well-respected in our Luo Shui City. Finding you such a powerful father-in-law is already a good thing, haven't you considered that"

"The Liu family hasn't looked down on you for being a bastard son, and that already shows them giving you face. You're acting wronged now"

Zhao Xingzhou sneered, “Since the Liu family is so good, why don't you have your third brother marry a daughter from the Liu family”

If Liu's daughter fancies your third brother, I would naturally allow your third brother to marry her!

Zhao San was startled by this, and a wave of relief washed over him. Liu's daughter was ugly to the point of being unbearable; luckily, he wasn't the one she had her eye on.

Facing Liu's daughter's face, he was afraid he would have nightmares all night.

Zhao Xingzhou had thoroughly seen through his father's true colors. It seemed that in the face of profit, all their children were insignificant.

"Alright, then let the third brother marry her. I won't be with the Zhao family's son."

"Once Su's daughter cures my elder sister's illness, I will leave Zhao's family immediately. From then on, whether I live or die, whether I prosper or fall, it will have nothing to do with Zhao's family."

Zhao Xingzhou kept talking back, which had already infuriated Zhao Fangshi.

"You! Traitor, I raised you for so many years in vain!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xingzhou wanted to laugh, “Raising me for so many years How ridiculous.”

"If you hadn't seen me in Wu Jie's room when I was about fifteen, you probably wouldn't even know that there was such a son in the house."

"If it weren't for Fifth Sister protecting and taking care of me since I was young, do you think I could have lived to this day"

He had always lived a life of hunger and poverty. Anyone in the household could bully, enslave, and make him eat the leftovers from the watchdog's bowl.

To survive, Zhao Xingzhou had endured every imaginable hardship.

How could Zhao Fangshi have the face to say such things about raising him for so long.

Later, he recovered his identity as the ninth young master of the Zhao family. It was all thanks to his good looks. His father used his charm to arrange for him to interact with the daughters of other prominent families in the city.

From there, I don't know how many deals were struck.

He is a complete and utter tool to be used by the Zhao family, Zhao Fangshi in particular!

The trash of the Zhao family's ninth son.urt so much. With every desperate counterattack he made, the pain intensified and his bones felt like they would snap any second.He was in so much pain that his forehead was slick with cold sweat, but...
