Chapter 294: Helping the Unrelated, Not One's Kin
didn't lie to her."Fang Jinshi helplessly put down her chopsticks."Actually, it's not worth thirty thousand taels of gold. I just made up a price last night.""Huh" All three members of the Zong family...Fang Jinshi raised an eyebrow, always feeling that this sentence sounded so familiar.
This orchid, when she was first rescued from the bandit's lair, always said she had no face to live in this world.
At that time, she truly believed this young lady valued her reputation more than her life, and for a while, she was genuinely worried they might take their own lives because of it.
It seems this is her usual tactic of garnering sympathy, and I almost fell for it.
She walked to the door but didn't go in. When the villagers saw Fang Jinshi coming, they immediately made way for her.
Fang Jinxiu stood far away, watching the lively scene through the gate of Wangcun's house.
Just as Chunlan was crying and threatening to commit suicide, Tiezhu, although angry at Chunlan for falsely accusing him, softened his heart in the end. He couldn't bear to see a living life die before his very eyes.
And because his memory was a bit hazy, and Chunlan said it so confidently, he had originally been quite certain that he really had done everything.
However, there is now a hint of wavering.
Unless she was truly wronged and deeply victimized, which girl would take her own life to prove her words were true.
Could it be that he, he really went too far last night and... you know... did *that* to someone
At the moment Tie Zhu reached out, Fang Jinshi just happened to arrive at his side, raising her hand to block him and stop him from moving forward.
"Sister-in-law Jinxiu You, you... how did you get here." Tiezhu was both surprised and delighted.
If his sister-in-law comes, maybe he'll be saved. His sister-in-law is so smart and capable, she'll definitely figure out what happened last night and clear his name.
He just didn't do some things.
Not only was Tiezhu relieved, but even Village Head Wang felt a sense of ease when he saw Fang Jinshu. Although the matter hadn't been resolved yet, he felt as if a stone had been lifted from his heart and his anxiety subsided.
"Village Head Wang, it's early in the morning. Shouldn't you be up on the mountain organizing everyone to draw water and maintain order Why are you at home crying and looking so agitated"
>
As soon as Fang Jinshi appeared, everyone's eyes involuntarily shifted to her. Chunlan, who was desperate to die, was completely ignored.
Only Qiuju ran over and hugged her tightly, fearing she might run headfirst into death.
Chunlan's teeth ached the moment Fang Jinshi appeared.
How did she get here That damn Fang Jinshui, every time she appears, she only ruins my plans.
Autumn Chrysanthemum didn't notice the resentment in Spring Orchid's eyes, but instead kept worrying and comforting her.
"Chūn Lán, don't be afraid. I mustered up the courage to invite Jǐn Xiù sister over. With her here, no one will dare bully you."
Chunlan said in a huff, "What use is it to invite her here Don't you remember that I already had a falling out with her last time There's no way she would speak up for me."
Autumn Chrysanthemum said, "No, Orchid Brocade isn't that petty or vengeful. I know you didn't let me go find her this morning because you were embarrassed about last time."
"Just as we were coming down the mountain, Sister Jinxiu said that she would not help any one person who had made a mistake, regardless of whether they were related to her or not. She would remain impartial."
"But by no means will I forgive anyone who wants to harm others."
Autumn Chrysanthemum glared in the direction where Wang Tiezhu was standing, dissatisfied. "Isn't that exactly what you irresponsible scoundrels are like!"
"Don't worry, Sister Jinxiu will definitely get justice for you. If Wang Tiezhu dares not take responsibility, I will definitely not let him go!"
Chun Lan's face stiffened after hearing this, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying.
However, a sense of foreboding lingered in her heart. With Fang Jinshu's arrival, would she be able to accomplish what she set out to do today
Just as Chunlan stealthily glanced at Fang Jinshi, she accidentally met Fang Jinshi's gaze.
Fang Jinxiu raised an eyebrow at her meaningfully, and Chunlan's heart skipped a beat.ngrily.The village head, Wang, raised his voice and scolded him, "The irrigation ditch wasn't dug for your family alone! Would you like it dug right to your front door"Lao HuTou was directly speechles...
