Zong Hu was getting quite emotional.The county magistrate nodded in understanding, "Of course, I don't hope anything bad happens to him either."Though their social interactions may not be the smoothe...Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu's brows never relaxed.

She stared at Zhao Xingzhou's delicate and affectionate brows for a long time, her eyes filled with all sorts of emotions, except love.

She pitied the humble man before her, who was so pathetic in love.

At that moment, Fang Jinshu finally confirmed her guess that she and Zhao Xingzhou were simply impossible as a couple.

The woman spoken of by Zhao's maidservant and the fifth young miss of the Zhao family, is none other than Madam Zhao, who has lived in this grand mansion with her husband, sharing a love that blossomed into marriage. She has always been cherished and protected by her husband, enjoying a life of comfort and happiness.

Their relationship is also very harmonious.

But at this moment, although she had no memory, she could be sure that she didn't have the slightest bit of marital feeling towards the man in front of her.

Even, she would feel repulsed by Zhao Xingzhou's touch and even his loving words.

"A bit tired, I'll sleep first." Fang Jinshu down her eyelids and lay down under the covers.

Zhao Xingzhou was stunned, his eyes full of loss.

He still didn't force Fang Jinshu, he just silently picked up the blanket and went to sleep on the cot beside him.

A rustling sound lingered for a while before finally subsiding. The maid extinguished the lamp, and as soon as the room was plunged into darkness, Fang Jinshu immediately opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Zhao Xingzhou who slept on the outer side.

She couldn't just be passive anymore, she had to figure out who she really was and what her true relationship with Zhao Xingzhou was.

And the figure in his mind, which always brought him a headache whenever she thought of it, who was he, and what was his relationship with her.

Fang Jinshu had been recuperating at the Zhao residence for over half a month. After entering April, the weather gradually warmed up, and Zhao Xingzhou's surveillance of her finally relaxed somewhat.

He walked over from afar, and saw Fang Jinshi sitting in the pavilion staring blankly. Her eyes were empty, and there was no trace of vitality on her face. He frowned with concern immediately.

"Jinxiu, what's wrong with you"

Fang Jinxiu shook her head, "It's nothing."

Zhao Xingzhou could tell she was very bored staying at home, but he really couldn't easily let Fang Jinshu out. After all, in Luoshui City, many people knew her.

The people from the Chamber of Commerce have all greeted each other. Even if Jinxiu meets them, it's no big deal.

The little girl from the Zong family's vegetable stand had it forced shut, and everyone was driven out of Luoshui.

Within the city, logically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone who could awaken her memory. Yet Zhao Xingzhou was still uneasy.

Therefore, he never allowed her to step out of Zhao Manor. From the moment she awoke, he kept her confined within the house. Even when Fang Jinshi had a thought of going for a walk, he found excuses to refuse her.

Now, looking at her listless and dull appearance, Zhao Xingzhou felt pity for her again.

He crouched before Fang Jinxiu, looking up at her.

After hesitating for a while, I finally spoke.

"How about I go for a walk with you on the street"

Fang Jinshu's eyelids fluttered, finally showing a response. She turned her head to look at Zhao Xingzhou.

"Can you let me go out"

Zhao Xingzhou felt a pang of discomfort in his heart. Now that Fang Jinshi looked at him, she was completely different from before. Keeping her locked up at home, it was like confining a goldfinch with broken wings. He knew she must be feeling miserable too.

He just didn't dare to gamble, so he would rather break her wings than let her leave his side.

"As the mistress of the Zhao family, of course you can go out."

"I didn't let you go out before because I was worried that you weren't fully recovered yet."

"Come, today I'll go shopping with you in the city. Let's buy some things you like. No matter what you fancy, I'll buy it for you."

Fan Jinshu happily nodded and finally smiled.

Zhao Xingzhou saw the situation and relaxed, the two had just walked out of the courtyard when Zhao Guanjia hurried over.

"Young Master, it's bad!"

Zhao Xingzhou's face immediately turned cold. "Don't shout in front of Madam, you'll scare her."

"What happened"

Zhao Guantang glanced at Fang Jinshi, hesitated for a moment but still leaned into Zhao Xingzhou's ear and whispered.

Fang Jinshu picked up an eyebrow. What use was whispering in front of her

She twitched her ears, catching every word of their conversation.

People from the suburban mansion came to report, saying that the master and the eldest son were both in grave danger.

"It is unknown where Miss Wu obtained this news. She evaded the guards within the mansion and, accompanied by only one maidservant, went to the suburbs."

"Master, if Fifth Miss found out about us..."

Zhao Xingzhou frowned, of course knowing this matter could not be let his fifth sister know.

"You still might as well go there."

Zhao Xingzhou glanced at Fang Jinxiu beside him, his expression hesitant.

But.

But he had just promised Jinshu, to go for a walk with her. Thinking about her joyful smile when she first heard it, how long had it been since she smiled so happily

Zhao Xingzhou didn't want to disappoint her.

In the suburbs, once Fifth Sister found out that he had been torturing his father and elder brother for such a long time, Fifth Sister would definitely collapse. Moreover, once the news leaked out.

His hard-earned reputation was ruined.

No one would like to do business with a ruthless psychopath who could even torture and kill his own family members. Zhao Xingzhou knew how important his reputation was to him.

Fang Jinshi immediately and appropriately pulled over a passing maidservant, "Let her accompany me."

"Just taking a look around, I'll be back in a bit."cate and beautiful than women.Zao Xingzhou's beauty is the kind that would make anyone who sees it momentarily lose their composure.He seems to be a bit too good to his sister-in-law.Now he stood alon...
