Chapter 668 Congratulations, Little Beauty

ient to have a small pond right outside our door. We could use it for washing clothes, cooking, and everything else!""It wouldn't do to have your elder brother work hard all day only to have the irri...Shen Li's words had some effect, and Zong Yu's bloodshot eyes gradually returned to clarity.

Reason gradually returned to his mind.

"Yes, there were no traces of Jinxiu on the road." He really couldn't bring himself to say the word "corpse," even thinking about it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

She's fine.

Fu Ming also saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly helped Shen Li persuade him.

"That's right, Sister Jinxiu is so smart, she's definitely fine."

"Maybe she was rescued, or maybe not. How about we stay at the inn for a few more days and wait See if she comes back to look for us."

"We're very close to Mutuo Island now. If we don't meet her here, perhaps she's been rescued and taken to Mutuo City."

Drought caused the surrounding villages to be deserted, with villagers fleeing or dying. Although Mizhou was not a hard-hit area, it was still significantly affected.

Ordinary villagers definitely wouldn't run out to save someone on a snowy day, and being able to rescue Fang Jinshu and disappear so quickly.

The one who saves her must have a carriage.

A carriage definitely meant wealth, it was something ordinary people couldn't afford.

After Fu Ming's analysis, Zong Yu's restless heart calmed down considerably.

These situations were actually quite obvious, but the authorities were blind to them. Fang Jinxiu's disappearance and Zong Yu's desperation made things even worse. On the other hand, Fu Ming, as an outsider, saw things most clearly.

He was a rich playboy who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He had never seen a man go to such lengths for a woman before.

His friends around him, who wasn't with three wives and four concubines, there were always women serving by his side.

If anyone were to come out and say they went through all that trouble for a woman, others would just laugh at them.

So Fu Ming, seeing Zong Yu in this state, was deeply moved.

"Brother Zong, you truly love your wife deeply."

Don't wear yourself out, or your wife might end up belonging to someone else one day.

If Zong Yu died and Fang Jinxiu became a widow, would he have a chance if he proposed to take her as his concubine

He didn't mind that she was married before, Fang Jinshi couldn't possibly be unaware of a good thing.

On second thought, Fu Ming suddenly felt he had been a bit meddlesome just now. He reminded Zong Yu what to do for no reason at all.

It's better to let him continue searching in the snow and freeze to death; wouldn't that be perfect!

Fu Ming's lips twitched, and as he raised his eyes, he met Zong Yu's cold gaze. He suddenly felt a pang of guilt and turned his head away.

"That, Shen Li, go find the waiter for some hot water and food. Also buy him a clean set of clothes."

After giving that order, Fu Ming quickly fled the room, fearing that Zong Yu would pounce on him and tear him apart the next second.

This man's eyes are really frightening, so sharp. How do I feel like for just a moment, he saw everything I was thinking

Illusion! It must be an illusion.

Thus, Zong Yu stayed at the inn for a full half month.

He would ask every traveler who came to the inn about Fang Jinxiu's whereabouts every day, and he would also repeatedly search for traces on the road.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been much progress.

Fu Ming had been staying at the inn for far too long, finally unable to bear it any longer, he suggested, "We've waited so many days with no news. Maybe they are already in Muzhou City."

"If Sister Jinxiu is really injured, the person who saved her would definitely take her to be treated. There's only a doctor in Muchou City nearby."

Let's just go straight into town.

When Fang Jinshu woke up, she felt herself in a shaky environment.

The top was the cramped carriage roof. She subconsciously thought she was still in their original carriage, that it was Zong Yu who had saved her back.

Instinctively, she reached out her hand to grasp her husband's arm for support.

"Ah," she wanted to call out for Ah Yu, but found her throat was dry and painful, unable to make a sound at all.

Even though she didn't utter a sound, a pair of hands reached out and lifted her up, holding her close in their embrace.

Fang Jinshi realized something was amiss. The scent on Ayu wasn't right; it shouldn't feel so unfamiliar.

She strained to open her eyes completely and looked up.

A young and handsome face appeared in her line of sight. Fang Jinshu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately by pushing the person away.

"You, who are you" she said, her voice laced with frustration.

But her body was weak and powerless. After pushing once, she fell down.

The young man kept a faint smile on his face, stretching out his long arm to pull the person back into his arms. With a bit of effort, he firmly confined Fang Jinshu.

"My name is Haruto, but you can call me by my original name, Li Lie."

"Congratulations, little beauty."Zhao Xingzhou sneered, “Since the Liu family is so good, why don't you have your third brother marry a daughter from the Liu family”If Liu's daughter fancies your third brother, I would naturally allo...
