lready a storm of emotions. Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning with every breath he took.It seems that the head of the family could stay for a few more days. Perhaps Fang Jinshi's medica...At that moment, Zhao Xingzhou saw an unprecedented coldness in her eyes.

He finally understood that Fang Jinshu would never truly love him, and would never belong to him.

Su Yusheng blinked his big eyes and stood silently on the side, watching the drama unfold without saying a word.

Actually, he saw that Zhao Xingzhou liked Fang Shenyi. It's just, this was clearly a hopeless situation. Zhao Xingzhou's thoughts and actions were completely self-inflicted suffering.

Fang Jinshi didn't give Zhao Xingzhou a chance to speak. Right in front of him, she tore up his signed and sealed contract of indentured servitude then turned and left without looking back, her figure quickly disappearing at the end of the Su family corridor.

Su Yusheng dared not keep Zhao Xingzhou, so he could only order someone to close the door and isolate Zhao Xingzhou outside.

When Fang Jinxiu returned to Yu Lian's room, her face looked a little tired.

"Yulian, I need to rest for a while. Tomorrow, I'll have Su Gongzi send a carriage home for you."

Yu Lian was surprised. Her sister-in-law meant to only send her home alone

And what about the sister-in-law herself

Just as she was about to turn around and ask, she saw Fang Jinshi already lying asleep on the side couch outside.

Yulian couldn't bear to wake her, so she tucked the quilt tighter around Fang Jinshu and then left.

Su Yusheng instructed his steward to have someone keep a close eye on the movements of Muzhou Prefecture. Once the news of ceding Xizhou was confirmed by the imperial court, he ordered them to report it to him immediately.

"Also, bring back the doctor who treated Miss Zong's leg injury last time."

"Have him stay at the mansion. Be sure to keep this secret from Dr. Fang."

"Yes, old slave understands. This will be done." The manager of the Su household took his leave.

Su Yusheng turned around and instinctively walked towards the courtyard where Zong Yulian lived. The two met halfway.

He immediately frowned and stepped forward, supporting her.

"Don't you want this leg anymore"

"The doctor said long ago that even if the bone is connected, you have to stay in bed for three months to recuperate and cannot move around easily!"

Zong Yu Lian thought Su Yu Sheng was just too exaggerated.

"I've been lying at home for almost two months now, and I have to lie down for another three months"

"Why don't you just let me stay in bed forever!"

Su Yusheng looked at her helplessly, "It's your leg that's injured, not mine. Don't you always want to marry into a wealthy family and be a rich wife"

"You weren't particularly beautiful to begin with, and now you're crippled. I don't see any wealthy young master who would be blind enough to marry you."

Zong Yulian originally came to find Su Yusheng because she had something important to say, but every time the two of them got together, they couldn't get a few words out before the gunpowder started to explode and they began to bicker.

In the heat of the argument, Jade Lotus forgot what she had originally intended to say.

Su Yusheng saw that she wouldn't listen and became even stronger the louder she fought, so he simply hoisted her onto his shoulder.

"Su Yusheng!"

"Damn you, you bastard! You're bullying me again, aren't you!"

"Let me down, let me down, where are you taking me"

Zong Yulian struggled very hard, her injured leg didn't restrict her performance.

Back when he lived at the village head's place, Su Yusheng wasn't beaten that badly by her. Such a weakling of a young master!

She thought she could get rid of him in a jiffy.

To her surprise, after struggling for a long time, the two people's postures remained unchanged. She couldn't budge Su Yusheng at all!

"You!"

Su Yusheng smiled and strode with his long legs towards his own courtyard.

"Today, if you can climb down from my shoulder, I, Su Yusheng, will write my name backward."

Back then, he was bullied by Zong Yulian in the village, pinned down and harassed. That scene was etched into his memory. After recovering from his illness, he insisted on practicing martial arts every morning for an hour. His physique had undergone a qualitative leap, no longer a weak, pampered young master.

Even if another Zong Yulian were added, he would still be able to handle it with ease!s matter, especially concerning his own grandfather, he absolutely wouldn't dare to act recklessly.He had never been threatened with this before. When the people saw him, they were terrified upon lear...
