ook his head, sighing inwardly. Forget it, hoping for him was no better than hoping for that unfilial son in the Zong family."If our family really depended on you to find water outside, I'm afraid we...Zhao Xingzhou's attendants trembled and asked, "What about the Fifth Miss"
Hearing the news that Fang Jinshui was missing, Zhao Xingzhou felt both panicked and afraid.
If it weren't for the fifth sister, how could he have lost Jinxiu!
Zhao Xingzhou's eyes turned cold.
"Throw her into the woodshed and lock her up, let Fifth Miss reflect properly on what she has done wrong!"
The attendant was astonished, unable to believe that the young master would give such an order.
Wasn't he very close with the Fifth Miss
The steward also chimed in, "Young Master, Miss Five is delicate and can't withstand the damp chill of the firewood shed. Perhaps we should find a different place for her to reflect"
Zhao Xingzhou, however, was determined to make the fifth sister pay for her actions. He said coldly,
"In this household, am I the master or is Fifth Miss the mistress"
The steward and the attendants trembled all over, their heads bowed in fear.
"The old slave knows his mistake, young master, please forgive me."
Go and take the Fifth Miss to the firewood house to reflect on her actions.
After dealing with this matter, Zhao Xingzhou immediately set off without stopping to personally look for Fang Jinshu's whereabouts in the city.
He hadn't slept all night, his face was pale with fatigue.
The whole person looked both insane and terrifying.
Even the servants around him didn't dare to approach, they could only tremble and obey his orders.
As soon as Fang Jinshu returned to the city, she was discovered by the Zhao family. They rushed to her, crying and wailing.
"Madam, where on earth have you run off to!"
"Madam, you are finally back."
If we can't find you, Young Master will have the entire household sold off.
"Hurry, go and report to the young master that Madam has been found."
Fang Jinxiu ignored these people's words, her face still cold.
"Take me to Zhao Xingzhou."
The Zhao family's servant was taken aback, noticing that Madam's expression was a bit off.
How can this be so different from the gentle and kind demeanor he has at home
"Husband, wife, are you alright Did you get hurt"
Fāng Jǐnxiù glanced coldly at the person speaking. If she were smiling, everyone around her would feel like they were basking in spring sunshine.
But if she set her face, and let out her own aura, the gentle features of her brows immediately turned into something cold and ruthless, her eyes sending chills down your spine.
"Yes, yes, the little one will lead the way for you."
She turned her head to look at Chao Fangming, "Go back first, I will keep my promise."
The Zhao family had no time to pay attention to Fang Mingxia. After Fang Jinshiu left, she shrugged and went back home by herself.
Zhao Xingzhou heard the servant report that Jinxiu had been found, and hurriedly turned back.
Fang Jinshu was welcomed back to the Zhao family manor with stars in her eyes. The housekeeper rushed forward, almost moved to tears by joy.
"My lady! You're finally back."
"This, this... how did your clothes become so dirty Come here! Quickly go and prepare hot water and clean garments for Madam. Attend to her bath first!"
"Madam, you must have suffered out there. Let me help you first." Before Zhao Butler could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fang Jinshi raising her hand.
No need.
"Have Zhao Xingzhou come see me immediately after he returns."
She strode into the Zhao family's front hall and sat down on a chair, her expression cold to the extreme.
Zhao the butler quietly asked the servants who had escorted Fang Jinshi back.
"Madam, what's the matter"
What happened on the way back
The common folk were also baffled, shaking their heads in unison.
"Her expression was terrifying. We saw her like that when we met her at the city gate."
Zhao the Butler glanced at the front hall, feeling a sense of unease.
As soon as Zhao Xingzhou stepped back into his family home, he was stopped by Zhao the Butler.
"Where's my wife Where is she" he asked anxiously.
"Young Master, Madam seems a little off this time she came back."
Zhao Xingzhou didn't have the heart to stand there and listen to Zhao Guanjia drone on. He eagerly interrupted him.
"Where is your wife!"
Answer my questions honestly. Don't waste my time with anything else.
Zhao the housekeeper helplessly pointed to the front hall, "Madam is waiting for you inside."
Zhao Xingzhou immediately strode forward to the front hall, with Zhao Guanjia worriedly following behind.
"Young Master, Young Master, please don't worry too much. Listen to this old slave."
Zhao Xingzhou didn't listen, and afterward, he regretted it very much. Why couldn't he stop to let the housekeeper finish his words.
The moment he stepped into the foyer and met Fang Jinxiu's gaze, Zhao Xingzhou knew, she had regained her memories.ked worried.Fang Jinshi held the silver needle in her hand, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.My mother-in-law trusts me so much, and yet I have a lot of things hidden from her.Her only means of...
