Chapter 609: I'm really exasperated

have nothing to do with any consequences that may arise."Only when it's written down in black and white with signatures will they not be able to deny it later."Tie Zhu felt that Fang Jinxiu was being...>

Fang Jinxiu lowered her head. Her husband was going to do such a dangerous thing, she really couldn't smile and say she wasn't angry, she didn't mind.

"I'll settle the score with you when you get back."

"I know you must have your reasons for making this decision."

"Arvin, when you return, I hope you can tell me completely, what exactly are you thinking"

Zong Yu nodded, he wanted to give his daughter-in-law one last hug, but as soon as he reached out, Fang Jinxiu flinched back.

A trace of melancholy swept across her face.

"If I could capture these people, I would deliver them to the soldiers nearby."

If I can't catch him alive, I'll go to the border defense camp and report this matter.

The county magistrate of Pan is just a local official. Having him write the memorial and then layer upon layer reporting it up would be a waste of time, and there's bound to be some unforeseen incident during the process.

Once this is settled, I'll be back right away.

Fang Jinxiu silently calculated in his heart, he still had to go to the border defense camp, this back and forth would take quite some time.

"A month until the New Year, a month if you don't come back."

Zongyu didn't want to hear the following sentence. He swore and interrupted Fang Jinxiu emphatically.

"I will definitely be back."

Fang Jinxiu raised her red-rimmed eyes and looked at him, "You know my temperament. If you go back on your word, even if I didn't say that last sentence out loud, I would definitely do it."

After she finished speaking, she turned away, unable to look at Zongyu again.

She took another look, afraid she might change her mind and do everything in her power to stop Zong Yu from leaving.

"Wait for me."

Zongyu left only these two words, and then quickly disappeared into the woods.

"Sister-in-law, you really just let your brother-in-law leave like that." Zong Bai still thought the older sister-in-law would definitely come up with a way to stop his brother from leaving.

Fang Jinxiu tried hard to hold back her tears.

"Your older brother has always lived for his family, rarely doing anything for himself."

"Since this is what he wants to do, let him do it."

"From now on, the family will no longer be a burden to him. We will become his strong support."

Zong Bai was stunned on the spot, he didn't expect his sister-in-law to say such a thing.

Both siblings felt a pang of shame. Throughout their lives, their older brother had always been so powerful. They unconsciously relied on him, living under his protection, never considering what he truly wanted.

Over time, he tied his brother and the clan together so closely that he never imagined a day when his brother would leave the clan to do what he wanted.

"Sister-in-law, you're right. We shouldn't be a burden or drag on our older brother."

Zong Bai patted his chest with effort, "From now on, the Zong family has me. Even if Big Brother is gone, I will protect the whole family in his place."

Jade Lotus refused to be outdone, "Yes, and me too!"

Fang Jinxiu finally smiled, "Why didn't you two say anything when he was here just now"

"Now that everyone has left, there's no need to stand here and show your loyalty. Hurry up and make your way down the mountain."

When the two saw their sister-in-law's smile, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the sister-in-law smiled, she must have forgiven her brother-in-law.

After a month, Fang Jinshu turned her head to look at the direction where Zong Yu had disappeared.

Ah Yu, you must return safely.

"Go."

After leaving the forest, the path down the mountain was much easier to find. The three of them had been walking in the mountains for a day when, as evening approached, they finally saw the gate of the manor.

Yulian shouted happily, "We're home! We're home! I see our front gate."

She dashed in the direction of her home, Zong Bai hurriedly following behind and protecting her, "Crazy girl, can't you slow down a bit"

Why are you in such a hurry when you've already arrived home

Mu had been guarding the door ever since her children and daughter-in-law went up the mountain. She came to the door every day.

Anyway, there's nothing for her to do at home now, so she started a fire at the door, roasting by the fire while embroidering, waiting for the children to come back.

When Yu Lian and Zong Bai appeared, Mu shi happily stood up, her heart finally at ease.

"Just come back, just come back!"

Fang Jinshi arrived last, smiling at Mu Shi, "Mother, we're back."

The Mu family nodded in unison, realizing someone was missing. Mrs. Mu glanced behind her daughter-in-law repeatedly.

"Where's A-Yu"

The three of them were stunned.

"Big brother, him."

Fang Jinxiu lowered her eyes and said nothing, the siblings looking at each other awkwardly.

Mu suddenly panicked.

"What happened to him I'm dying of worry here, just tell me!".Zong Bai didn't understand why his sister-in-law was so calm and collected. This Hu Ai Lan clearly came to steal his older brother away, how could she not be nervous at allThis kid practically wrote...
