on us and take the snake meat for yourself, then you wouldn't be worthy of being the head of our Wild Village.Fang Jinshi was speechless. She never expected to encounter this kind of moral blackmail e...After breakfast, Fang Jinshi went to the fields as usual to check on the situation, just a symbolic walk.

Of course, there were also some people who came here sincerely to work. Since the treatment of Jinxiu Garden was exactly as Fang Jinxiu had said, these people were so happy that they hadn't slept well for days.

I feel uneasy.

Every day, the hardworking people work harder than anyone else. But thanks to these honest and diligent workers, orders from the farm can be completed on time.

Fang Jinxiu told Chang He to remember these hardworking people. These were the true helpers their manor needed, unlike those spies who came in claiming to work but couldn't even control their own eyes and lacked basic professional ethics.

She told him to ignore those people for now.

They don't work hard. The river has already taught these people several times.

I am always stopped by Fang Jinshui.

She had privately explained to Changhe that these people were not trustworthy and that they should be ignored so that their true colors would soon show.

The long river learned quickly. These few days, he deliberately pretended to be unwell and relaxed his management of these people.

These rare, honest people, treated so well, naturally seized this opportunity to work diligently and wholeheartedly, making sure the housekeeper knew they wouldn't shirk their duties.

Those who were fishing in troubled waters also thought this was a great opportunity.

This afternoon, everyone at the mountain villa will have a one-hour break time. Fang Jinxiu didn't go out today and pretended to have a hangover and headache, returning to her own courtyard to rest.

Although Zhao Xingzhou hadn't received any orders, he was also keeping an eye on these sneaky rats in the shadows.

Those few spies drugged Cai a few days ago. Perhaps they thought the dosage was not enough During lunchtime, they snuck into the kitchen.

Now the kitchen duties are handled by Jade Lotus and Jin Yu. They only come to the kitchen when it's time to prepare meals; otherwise, they stay around Madam Mu and Yuan Bao.

By now, both Jade Lotus and Golden Jade were gone. Even the kitchen staff had finished their work and gone to rest.

“Really give everyone in the manor medicine”

"We have to eat the rice we cooked."

Among them, there was someone who hesitated.

The leader gave him a hard slap.

"Of course we have to eat them, too. If we don't get poisoned along with them, they'll suspect us! They're idiots."

"But, Gang Ge, the master only let us come in to find out the secret recipes for the dishes at Jinshi Mountain Villa. Shouldn't we poison them be a bit too much"

The burly man nicknamed Gangzi grinned ferociously.

"You say I'm stupid, you don't believe it, why does our master let us come and steal the recipe"

"Because the business was snatched away by Jinshu Mountain Villa."

"That's right, so the source is still those people from Jinshu Mountain Villa. What use is it to just steal recipes."

"If we could get rid of that widow, Fang Jinshiu, wouldn't your master be even happier"

"Wh-what, what, kill"

"Gang, Gang Ge, killing someone means going to jail, Wan, Wan one if we get caught, we, we..."

Brother Gang spat viciously at the kid behind him, looking down on him with disdain.

"Fortune and honor are sought amidst peril!"

"As long as we pull this off, the master won't just stand by and watch us get caught. And don't worry, my powder is colorless and odorless. Even if the King of Heaven came, he wouldn't be able to find a trace on us."

"You keep watch outside, I'll go in."

He then lifted the water tank in the kitchen, emptied a bag of powder into it, and stirred it around with his muddy hands.

"Alright, let's go."

After they finished, the two disappeared quickly around the corner of the kitchen. Only after they were gone did Fang Jinshu with Xiaoyue emerge from behind the artificial hill on the other side.

Little Yueqi's face turned dark.

"These people are so cruel, they would poison everyone in the entire manor just to steal business!"

In Xiaoyue's understanding, human life is the greatest. But people in the capital were willing to disregard so many lives for wealth and profit, poisoning them without hesitation.

Fāng Jǐnxiù sneered, "Haven't you heard Wealth and nobility are sought amidst danger."

There are plenty of people in the capital who would sell their lives for money.

At this time, Zhao Xingzhou also walked out from the other side, and Fang Jinyu was taken aback to see him.

"How are you here"

Zhao Xingzhou was a little nervous that Fang Jinxiu, surprisingly, was willing to talk to him proactively.

"I, I was chasing after the two of them."

After saying his piece, he turned to leave, always remembering that Fang Jinshu didn't want to see him. His sudden appearance must have been very upsetting for her.

"Stand up, I have a task for you."hed back to the village.There was no sign of movement at the old Zong family house. Zong Pingkang was terrified, and he couldn't sleep all night under the covers, anxiously waiting for dawn.Logically,...
