Chapter 331: I Never Touched You

st Fang Jinshiu's calf.It seemed that their just-now beating and then sweetening operation had completely subdued the Flower-Patterned Tiger. Fang Jinshu patted the dust and grass clippings off her ha...Fāng Jǐnxu's face was full of confusion, "Who is your sister Don't jump to conclusions about family ties before things are clear."

Now Fang Jinxiu's reason slowly returned. If this woman was unimportant, the Mu family wouldn't have let her in.

"Jinshu, this is a long story. Me, we should go to the main hall and sit down first. I'll tell you slowly."

Fang Jinxiu nodded, she had to first understand the ins and outs of the matter and find out the other party's identity before speaking.

She would absolutely not accept anything like three wives and four concubines. If her husband dared to have that thought, she would directly administer a dose of poison along with three golden needles, leaving him unable to function as a man for the rest of his life.

This is the fate of those who betray her, Fang Jinxiu's splendor.

Mrs. Mu considered Hu Ailan's affair a family disgrace, so she shut all the doors of her house and wouldn't let the three maids in either.

Only their family and Hu Ailan and her son were in the house.

That child was strange, always staying away from Hu Ailan. He would only come over if Hu Ailan forcefully pulled him.

They call each other mother and son, but they don't look like it at all. However, the child does resemble Zong Yu in features.

Though Fang Jinshi felt uneasy, she decided to listen to what her mother-in-law and the others had to say first.

"This is a long story."

Mrs. Mu felt guilty towards Fang Jinxiu. If it weren't for her impulsive decision to marry Zong Yu, and hastily agreed to the Hu family's proposal, she wouldn't have been targeted by Old Madam Hu, who even in death, didn't let go, forcing her granddaughter upon them.

Then all those unpleasant things won't happen.

She told Fang Jinshu everything about her and the Hu family, Hu Ailan listened beside her, her face full of guilt and fear, like a wounded animal.

When she heard that she had betrayed her honor and secretly married someone else, Hu Ai-lan kept apologizing. Zong Bai was genuinely annoyed by this woman and angrily told her to shut up.

Otherwise, just kick her out now.

They were all afraid that their sister-in-law would be angry if she found out the truth. In fact, throughout this whole thing, the eldest brother had always been firm in his stance; he never wanted to marry Hu Ai-lan.

In the end, she stayed in her family's home because of what Village Head Wang had said. Zong Bai had always known that his older brother did everything for the sake of their family.

At that time, his mother was in poor health, and both he and Yulian were still young. The family needed people to take care of everything. If they were driven out of the village, it was uncertain whether he and Yulian could survive.

Keeping Hu Ailan was a last resort. Her entire family had died, and before her death, Grandma Hu told the villagers that her granddaughter was already betrothed to her eldest son, making her his fiancee who hadn't yet moved in.

In this situation, even if they had mouths, they couldn't explain. Forcing Hu Ai-lan to sever ties with them was like pushing her to death.

How does an orphaned girl survive

Zong Bai really wanted to say a few words for his elder brother. After Mu shi finished speaking, Fang Jinxiu's heart felt much clearer, and she even smiled.

Now the whole family is paying attention to her emotions. Mu Shi and Zong Bai, including Zong Yu, all think that Fang Jinxiu will definitely be angry after hearing this.

To his surprise, she actually laughed. Zong Yu felt even more uneasy inside.

He took two steps forward to stand beside Fang Jinshi, but didn't dare to hold her hand. He could only tightly grasp the sleeve of her clothes, his eyes filled with longing as he waited for his wife to turn around.

"Jinxiu, I... I never truly considered marrying her."

Fāng Jǐnxiù nodded, finally turning her face to meet his gaze. "I believe you."

Mu saw this and felt relieved. She knew that Jinxiu would definitely understand the matter.

Although Fang Jinshu's face was wearing a faint smile, it didn't reach her eyes. Zong Yu's heart skipped a beat.

She changed the subject and turned her head to look at the child cowering in the corner.

"And what about this child"

Hu Ai-lan struggled against Zong Bai's restraint and cried out, "This is Brother Zong Yu's child! He looks exactly like Brother Zong Yu. I swear I'm not lying!"

Zong Yu's rarely got truly angry, but this time he was furious.

"Nonsense!"

"When have I ever met you How is it possible that we could have a child together!"

Hearing Zong Yu deny Hu Ailan, Fang Jinxiu wasn't surprised at all. Fang Jinxiu had been paying close attention to her expressions. It seemed that in the face of such questions, Hu Ailan was well prepared with her answer.

She looked Zongyu in the eye resolutely and said, "Yes."

"When you went into the mountains two months ago to hunt for purple weasels, Zong Yu gege, do you remember that you were poisoned and fainted in the woods not far from home It was I who found you and called people to save you back home, wasn't it"Qi's head, his eyes darted around, and he quickly pressed against the wall to stay far away from him."You die, you dead girl! Come back, who told you to bring them back too!""Do you know what those un...
