Chapter 1009 I'm Sorry, Miss

everyone, do you think these little rascals would listen to me so well""Jade Lotus wasn't always against me.""Or do you want them to continue bothering me like they used to"Upon hearing this, Zong Yu..."Sister-in-law, you know a person's face but not their heart. I heard that Jiang Chuang is a tyrant in the capital and has done many underhanded things for Yuan Buyu."

"With blood on your hands, you'd better stay away from him."

Zong Bai didn't know why his sister-in-law was so confused today, actually speaking up for the enemy's minions and saying they had no ill intentions.

He was once under Yuan Buyu's command, and he even wanted to kill their entire family not long ago. How could he possibly have no ill intentions towards her

He kept talking while motioning to Yulian to pull Fang Jinshi further away from Jiang Chuang, wishing he could immediately stuff her into his older brother's arms.

Why can't big brother be more competitive

"Yulian, you've really misunderstood."

Fang Jinshu reluctantly explained again and again, “Even if he is really Yuan Xiang's person, I dare guarantee that he will never hurt me.”

Upon hearing this, the three siblings of the Zong family were all taken aback. They had known their sister-in-law for so long, and she had never made such a solemn promise for anyone before. Why was she so trusting of this Jiang person

Zongyu's face immediately became even worse.

"Zong Bai is right, you can know a person's face but not their heart."

"He doesn't harm you doesn't mean he won't sow discord, nor does it mean he won't use you."

Zongyu had always been a quiet person. This was the first time he had been so direct in judging someone, and it was all based on conjecture, with hints of conspiracy and defamation.

Zong Bai and Yu Lian stared in shock at their eldest brother.

Fang Jinxiu simply froze in place.

As soon as Zong Yu finished speaking, he felt a pang of remorse. Would Jinxiu think he was petty

But having said that, Zong Yu simply walked up with a stern face. While everyone was still caught off guard and Jiang Chuang was the only one yelling furiously,

He scooped up Fang Jinshu in his arms and strode out of the room with a long stride. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from sight.

Jiang Chuan reacted, his face darkening with anger. He hurriedly tried to chase after them. He had finally found Xiu Xiu, and he absolutely couldn't let Zong Yu, that bastard, just take her away so easily!

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

Zong Bai and Yu Lian were quick-witted. As soon as their elder brother left, they immediately reacted and blocked the door, stopping Jiang Chuang's way. Wu Niang also hurriedly explained beside them.

"I'm so sorry, Master Jiang. Our patron and General Zong have some urgent matters to attend to, so we won't be able to join you for this meal today. Consider it a treat from our restaurant."

“Here's your five hundred taels of silver note. You should take it back.”

Wu Niang held the silver note, a little reluctant to part with it. In their northern borderlands, five hundred taels would take hundreds of people working day and night in the fields for an entire year to earn.

But in Daxixi, it's just a meal for the rich.

Although money can always be earned again, if something really happened to the employer and it brought her further trouble, then it wouldn't be worth it.

She would forever remember how Fang Jinshi had forcefully made Jin Ma apologize and seek redress for her. In this world, besides Princess, she was the first person who had also valued her dignity.

For this, Wu Mama is willing to give up these five hundred taels. It's no big deal if they start preparing more ingredients tomorrow and doing a dozen or so more tables, they can still earn it back the same way.

Who is Ke Jiangchuang, that Wu Ma would take out the silver note and return it to him now This was a slap in the face for him.

"This young master never expects anything given out to be returned."

"What do you think you are, get out of my way! Or else don't blame me for sending people to tear down your entire building!"

Jiang Chuang did what he said he would. These people from Beijiang really thought he didn't know what they had done to Jinxiu, huh

Using her sympathy, they tricked her into taking over the tavern to help them make money.

The people from the northern frontier are nothing but lowly and cunning. If not for the sake of Jinshu, he could have had this tavern razed to the ground right now!

Wu Niang was frightened by Jiang Chuang's expression and retreated again and again. Zong Bo gave Yu Lian a wink, Big Brother with his sister-in-law should have gone far away, they could also withdraw after completing their mission.

Yu Lian received her second brother's signal, and the two immediately turned their heads and ran.

Jiang Chuang was being held back by Wu Niang, and he hadn't had time to keep the person. He could only glare fiercely at Wu Niang and chase after her.

The tavern is this small, if Jiang Zhuang catches them, he'll definitely interrogate them about where their sister-in-law is.

Zong Bai grabbed his sister's hand. "Yulian, running together as two is too obvious. Let's split up and run."

After getting rid of him, let's just head back to the manor separately.

Yu Lian nodded. She had been in the capital for some time and was familiar with the surrounding streets. Besides, their carriage was parked in the alley. As long as she got in the carriage and left, she didn't believe Jiang Chuang's two legs could catch up to the four wheels of the carriage.

"Okay, second brother, be careful yourself! See you at home!"

Zong Bai nodded until he saw his sister's figure disappear before he proactively ran out, deliberately letting Jiang Chuang who was chasing after him see.

"Dream on if you think you'll find my sister-in-law!"

"As long as I'm here, you don't even think about flirting with my brother!"

Jiang Chuang, exasperated, jumped straight down the stairs from the second floor. Zong Bai was terrified and immediately ducked his head and continued to run forward, he couldn't tell which way was which anymore, just ran wherever the road took him.

He meandered his way into a room.

He hastily shut the door and crouched down by it, peering out through the crack. He didn't even notice that there were other people still in the room.

It seems Jiang Chuang didn't come after

Zong Bai waited for a long time, but there was no sound of footsteps or any other movement outside. He leaned against the door and slid to the ground, letting out a sigh of relief in an instant.

I wasn't paying attention to where I was just now, I only knew that I had entered the backyard of the restaurant.

I didn't expect there to be such a hidden room in the backyard.

He took a moment to cool off, then stood up. He instinctively wanted to take in the room, but just as he took two steps, a soft gasp came from inside.

"Halt!"

"If you dare to come in, I'll kill you!"

This is not someone else's room, but the place where Tanna recuperates.

Before Zong Bai barged in, she was just taking off her clothes to change the dressing on her wounds. Hearing the noise, she didn't have time to put all her clothes back on. She just grabbed her outer garment and blanket and wrapped them around herself, leaving the rest of her clothes scattered on the floor in the chaos.

If she went down to get it, what if that person found out she had been seen What would happen then

Tana wanted to hold her breath and pretend she wasn't there, waiting for the people outside to leave before going down to pick it up.

Who knew this person would actually keep walking in, so she had to speak up to stop him. He was just a few steps away from finding her on the bed.

Tana was very nervous.

When Zong Bai heard there was a woman, his face instantly flushed red like an inflated balloon. Before even seeing her, his gentlemanly demeanor kicked in instinctively, and he turned and bowed his head, apologizing all in one smooth motion.

"I apologize, young lady! I did not mean to intrude upon your boudoir."

"I, I'm leaving right now, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, it wasn't intentional."

He apologized while heading towards the door, his hand just about to reach for the knob, when he heard footsteps coming from outside.

"You two, go over there and look. You go over there."

"Jiang Ye said, even if he had to dig up the entire restaurant three feet under, he would find that smelly brat!"

"Yes!"

Zong Bai was shocked. This damn Jiang Chuang actually brought so many people here. No, he absolutely couldn't be found by him.

There's still a young woman in the room behind you. A gentleman should not look upon women unsuitably, nor listen unsuitably!

"There's a room here, go in and have a look around."

Seeing those people coming, Zong Bo was forced to bite the bullet and close his eyes. He turned his head and dashed into the inner room.

Tana frowned tightly, immediately pulling the blanket close and tucking herself into the corner of the bed. Then she grasped the dagger hidden under her pillow.

"Ah!" She feigned surprise with a cry, and Zong Bo hastily explained.

"I'm so sorry, miss. Someone is looking for me outside, and I... I can't let them find me."

“This concerns my brother and sister-in-law's happiness for their entire lives.”

"I'll just hide in the girl's place for a bit, and I'll leave as soon as these people are gone."Minister's Mansion.Could it be that he just wasted his effort"Master, the doctor said you've lost too much blood, so I asked the other adults to take leave for you.""As for the mistress..." The old bu...
