Zhao Xiaowu's nervousness was almost overflowing from his face.His heart pounded in his chest, afraid that Fang Jinxiu would immediately think of something and become suspicious of Xiao Jiu.If Xiao Ji...Fang Jinshi stayed at Li Muhai's place for half a day, finally sketching the general outline of the villa.

During that time, Zong Yu came for a visit. Seeing his daughter-in-law busy all the time, he didn't go in to disturb her. Coincidentally, Zong Lao San came to look for Zong Yu. He stood awkwardly outside the door and when he saw Zong Yu return, he immediately greeted him.

"Ah Yu, you're finally back."

Zong Yu was a little surprised, "Third Uncle What brings you here"

Zong Lao San awkwardly rubbed his hands, "Didn't your wife promise last time that she would also let me come and work"

Zong Yu said, "If you want to go up the mountain with me to cultivate land, find Uncle Wang to sign a contract. After signing it tomorrow, we'll come together with the villagers."

Elder Three nodded hastily, "I know this. I've already signed it."

Zongyu wore a puzzled expression, wondering why he was being sought out after signing the agreement.

"Ah Yu, that is, your grandmother has been making a fuss at home all day, wanting to know how your uncle is doing."

“I, I know it’s wrong to bother you, but…but we can’t go to the city either. Your uncle has been taken by the officers for so long, is he alive or dead When will he be released We need some answers, don’t we”

It turns out it's for Uncle.

Zong Yu pursed his lips, "I don't know."

Zong Lao San was getting impatient, “Ayu, your Uncle San knows you must have a way to find out about your grandfather’s news. You know how stubborn your grandmother is.”

"Just think of poor, pitiful Uncle San, doing you a favor, alright"

Old Mrs. Wu had been restless since last night, crying incessantly at her late husband's portrait every night, muttering her eldest son's name.

When no one paid attention to her, she started banging on their bedroom door, making it impossible for them to rest.

Zong Lao san knows that Zong Yu and the big brother are not on good terms, he may not be willing to help with this, and speaking up might even offend him.

Elder Three simply couldn't do anything about it. His wife was pregnant, and he couldn't let his mother-in-law make a scene at home every day.

Just then, Fang Jinshu returned.

She saw Lao San Zong blocking her door from afar. A-Yu had a serious expression on her face, but when she walked closer, she realized Lao San Zong was in a pleading manner.

She seemed to have heard some of the conversation just now, something about her uncle.

Zong Laodai has been taken away by the officials for several days now. The village is isolated and news is scarce, so Wu Laotai must be starting to worry, right

"Your uncle committed murder. Even if he isn't sentenced to death, he shouldn't expect to be released for the rest of his life."

"Is it Grandma who sent you to ask"

Fang Jinshu always had a way of cutting straight to the point. Zong Lao San, feeling uneasy, simply nodded.

He always felt a bit intimidated when he saw his niece's wife.

"Yes, your grandmother has been making a lot of noise these two days, wanting to know about your elder brother's news."

Fan Jinshu coldly snorted, “If you want to know the news, go ask the government officials yourself. Our second branch isn't servants of the old house.”

After finishing her words, she pulled Zongyu around and entered the room, slamming the door shut.

Brother Zonghu is still kneeling before the Liu family's tomb. Has anyone from the old house gone to pay respects to Aunt Big

They condone Zong Pingkang's egregious mistake and show no remorse. Afterward, they only think about how to protect themselves and escape punishment.

Even if Fang Jinshu knew about Zong Pingkang's news, she wouldn't bother telling them.

She agreed to let Zong Laosan do the work, but that doesn't mean she's made peace with the old house.

Looking at the tightly shut door, Elder Zong sighed. He thought Fang Jinshi would let him work because she looked favorably upon the Third House. It seemed he had overestimated himself.

Zong Lao San also came with a tentative attitude. Wu Lao Tai was making a ruckus at home, but she didn't force him to come ask his elder brother as he claimed.

He just wanted to test the attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Zong towards him.

Master Three returned home disappointed and just happened to run into Hu Ailan, who had just come back from washing clothes.

Her slender frame struggled to carry a large basin full of clothes.

Elder Zong saw this and immediately stepped forward to help.

"Uncle Three, you're back."

"How is it going Have you heard anything from Uncle Three" Hu Ailan knew Zong Lao San had just gone to do something. Was it her who suggested he ask Zong Yu for information, or...

Fang Jinshi wants to control the old house through Zong Lao San, does she really think I can't see through her

Zong Lao San disappointedly shook his head. He was disappointed not because he hadn't received news from Zong Lao Da, but because he was hurt by the attitude of Zong Yu and his wife towards him.

Tomorrow he's going up the mountain to work, and he is Zong Yu's uncle. He surely won't be treated the same as those unrelated people in the village, right

As soon as he thought of this, Zong Lao San felt a sour feeling in his heart.ip.Then things will be much more reassuring.Fu Shangyu quickly reacted. As an ordinary citizen, how could she ask about the princes in the palace Even though Xiaoqi was an unfavored prince, he was sti...
