ways keeps her word.Zongyu looked at her resolute eyes and, as if possessed, nodded."Okay, I'll take you there."But you have to stay close to me, don't run off.Fang Jinshi hurriedly nodded. Before lea...Fang Jinshi urged Zongbo and Yulian to quickly hide the wild boar meat and cover the bloodstains on the ground with soil.

She didn't want to disappoint Zong Bai because of the people in the ancestral home. The boy was overjoyed when he heard her agree to make braised pork for him. There was no reason to ruin their good mood of eating meat because of these people.

She turned her head to the kitchen first to make the braised pork, putting water on and letting Yulian watch the fire.

Just finished, Old Wu and Old Zong, along with the entire first family, arrived with an imposing air.

Fang Jinshu cast a glance at the crowd, but didn't see Wang Yanne. A bad feeling crept into her heart.

"Grandpa, grandma, what are you doing here" Zongyu had been waiting for them outside the courtyard gate.

The elder walked forward, glaring at him with a gloomy expression, then glanced towards Fang Jinshi in the courtyard.

"Bring your daughter-in-law out, I have something to ask her."

Before Zong Yu could speak, Fang Jinxiu came out on her own.

Given their attitude today, they definitely won't let it go just like that. Hiding won't do any good either.

Elder Mu, the mother-in-law, also followed Fang Jinshu out. As the eldest member of the family, there was no way she could let her children face this alone while she hid in the back and did nothing.

"Father, Mother, what brings you to seek out Jinxiu This child is young and timid. Please don't frighten her."

Hearing this, Lady Liu couldn't help but lose her temper. She remembered the last time Fang Jinshu had broken her head and kicked her stomach, and she was furious.

"Can we still scare your daughter-in-law"

"If she were just a bit braver, she might even dare to fight the emperor. She's such a coward! Ugh!"

Mrs. Liu was furious. The patriarch waved his hand at her, telling the eldest daughter-in-law to calm down. He had come today to meet the granddaughter-in-law from the second house and see what she was capable of.

"I know you're here about Zong Hu Ge."

Before she could even finish her sentence, Old Madam Wu impatiently interjected, this anger didn't seem like the kind she put on to extort money.

Zong Hu was the eldest grandson of the Zong family's main branch. The elderly were fond of favoritism across generations, and among so many grandchildren in the family, Mrs. Wu, the grandmother, favored this eldest grandson the most.

Therefore, he was especially angry.

You know just as well as I do, you've brought my grandson to this state. What are your intentions!

"Little Tiger had no quarrel with any of you. He kindly helped you search for someone on the mountain, and in the end, all of you came back safe and sound, while he alone suffered such severe injuries."

"If you say you didn't do it on purpose, who would believe you!"

Faced with Wu Laotai's accusation, Fang Jinshi did not rush to defend herself. Instead, Mu Shi, who was beside her, heard this and was more anxious than anyone else.

"Mother, Jinxiu is kind-hearted. How could she harm Zong Hu There must be some misunderstanding here."

"Why don't we just hear what Jinxiu has to say"

Fan Jinshu smiled and patted Mu Shi's back, comforting her.

"Mother, please don't worry. I think Brother Zong Hu must have told them how he was injured. Tie Zhu definitely already informed them."

"When I had Chang He and Tie Zhu send Zong Hu back home, I instructed them to explain clearly the cause and effect of his injuries."

"If they were willing to listen to us, they wouldn't be here right now."

Before sending Zong Hu home, Fang Jinxiu had also considered that the people in Zong's old house would come to find trouble because of this, but she didn't expect them to come so quickly.

He doesn't even believe the village head's son.

Tie Zhu was also gone, only Song Changhe was left.

As soon as Fang Jinshi's voice fell, this boy stood up.

"I can testify for Jinshi's sister, she did indeed instruct us this way. Iron Pillar and I explained it to them many times, Brother Zhonghu was accidentally injured by a wild boar."

But not only did they not believe it, they also bit back and insisted that Jinxiu's elder sister had harmed Zong Hu Ge.

"I tell you, Sister-in-law Jinshu not only didn't harm Brother Zong Hu, but he is still alive thanks to Sister-in-law Jinshu risking her life to lead the wild boar away."

"Master Zongyu arrived just in time and killed the wild boar."

"Or we'll all die on the mountain!"

Song Changhe was a nobody, his words held little weight. Except for the Mu family, no one in the ancestral home of the clan took his words seriously.City.
