Chapter 196: The Duckling's

amily, the matchmaker had persuaded her that there was a scholar in the Zong family who was a talent capable of becoming the top scholar.Although she married the eldest son of the influential Zong fam...Even Zong Yu, a man so serious, couldn't help but burst into laughter at this.

He would be delighted to sleep in the same room with his wife every day if it weren't for the drought.

With Fang Jinshi's commotion, Zong Yu's emotions relaxed completely, and the lingering sense of fear in his heart subsided significantly.

She gently pulled her hand down. “Stop it.”

“I’m really not trying to pick a fight.”

"You shouldn't have gone to the old house alone. Even if you hadn't woken me up, you should have had Zongbo with you."

"Do you know what I felt when I saw your uncle swinging that knife at you"

"You put your heart in a freezer and try it, that's how it feels, almost stopping."

The man spoke with utmost sincerity, and Fang Jinshu's gaze never left his face. She felt that Zong Yu seemed to be shining brightly when he was speaking sweet nothings.

Does he know how charming he is

It's like the person whose heart almost stopped beating has become her now.

Because skipping rope requires jumping over it from the throat, it's quite difficult.

Zong Yu finished speaking, gently pulling Fang Jinyu into his arms, letting her lean against him. His large palm stroked her back lightly.

"You can't be hurt."

In his entire life, besides his family, the only person he wanted to stay by his side and cherish was her.

He doesn't care what others think, but Fang Jinshu must be safe.

After being coaxed by a few words from the man, Fang Jinshu's heart softened completely, and she no longer felt like teasing Zong Yu.

Even if you didn't come, I would be fine.

Zongyu just held her tighter, saying nothing. He took his wife's words as comfort.

He abruptly changed the subject, bringing up Zongping Kang's injuries.

"My uncle's hand was injured by me. I will take the responsibility and go to the old house on my own. They can beat me, scold me, even chop off my hand."

“That, I had already thought of when I threw that arrow.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu hurriedly backed away from his arms and glared at him angrily.

"Are you stupid I'll see who dares to cut off your hand!"

"It's just a pierced wrist, isn't it What a small matter. With me here, I can fix it in a jiffy."

Besides, you were also injured saving my life.

"I'm worried now, they won't let me treat them at all and will pull the same stunt they did when Zong Hu got injured, trying to extort money from me."

When money was mentioned, Zong Yu's brow furrowed deeply.

"The silver in the house isn't enough for what they want."

Grandpa opened his mouth and asked for fifty taels, and he would definitely ask for less for his uncle's injury.

But where did they get so much silver from

"By the way, where did you get the fifty taels of silver you delivered today" Zong Yu had a hunch that Fang Jinshu's silver came from someone else.

Although the daughter-in-law has already explained, she and Su Yusheng are just doctor and patient. There is no intention of leaving him.

Ke Zongyu just didn't want her to ask other men for money, always feeling that he was not capable enough. He felt stifled and frustrated inside.

Looking at his awkward expression, Fang Jinyu couldn't guess what this silly fool was thinking.

"Alright, although these fifty taels were indeed taken from Young Master Su, I made it very clear to him that this money was for the consultation and medicine fees."

"So it's our family's silver, right Does that make you feel a little better"

"I'll cure him of this illness for only fifty ounces of silver. It's a very reasonable price, even if I charged another fifty ounces it wouldn't be too expensive."

Although those precious medicinal herbs, each with just a small piece of leaf, root, or stem, were enough to cure Su Yusheng's illness, not to mention the enhancement of the medicine's potency by the spiritual spring water, his recovery would be faster than expected.

When his wife discovered he was eating vinegar in silence, Zongyu awkwardly looked away.

"I'm not uncomfortable either."

This mouth of his belongs to a duck.

Fine, I'll just do it. After all, he is my husband.

"When do you plan to go back to the old house and settle this matter of your uncle's injury" Zhu let out a sigh of relief. After getting her guarantee, he happily ran away the next second. Chunlan originally wanted to say some ambiguous things to Tie Zhu, deepening his infatuation with her.N...
