Chapter 1097: Show Your Skills and Deal with Old Madam Wu

me, it's simple.Mu cried out nervously, "Don't."She knows her own son. If Zong Yu wanted to harm someone, not just Zong Pingkang, even all the people in the Zong family combined wouldn't be his match....Chapter 1097: Time to Show Off and Clean Up Old Wu

When Old Mrs. Wu heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and ecstatic.

"Alright, alright, you little..." She almost blurted out the three words "little wretch," but luckily she caught herself in time and changed her wording.

"You're not so bad after all, you know how to respect your elders."

Old Madam Wu is just the type to take liberties and act both foolish and wicked.

But this kind of her is actually easy to handle. Once she enters the mansion, she has ways to make her obey.

She also wanted to call on Mu Shi to help her up, but she was glared at by Fang Jinxiu and was frightened. She quickly ran into the door as if she were afraid that Fang Jinxiu would regret it.

Zong Pingkang naturally thought that Fang Jinxiu's words just now were a compromise. Although this girl's attitude change was indeed strange, since the goal had been achieved, whether it was strange or not no longer mattered.

What matters is that he can get into the Hou residence.

Mrs. Mu also found it strange that her daughter-in-law had suddenly changed her words, but she didn't ask any further questions. She simply beckoned two servants to carry Zong Pingchuan inside first.

Just now, Zong Pingkang pulled Zong Pingchuan so hard that he fainted from weakness.

Yu Lian's eyes were cold, she didn't understand why her sister-in-law had suddenly agreed to let them into the Hou Mansion. Could it be that she was truly afraid of their uncle

"Wait."

Fang Jinxiu suddenly spoke. Zong Yu saw that everyone who was supposed to go in had gone in, so he waved his hand and told the guards to block the door.

Only Zongping Kang was left outside the door.

He was full of anger, "Zongyu, what do you mean by this!"

Fang Jinxiu smiled and said, “Uncle just said that Grandma is old, so even if she breaks ties with the family, it’s understandable for us grandchildren to take care of her.”

"Father's body has fallen ill and needs care, so we all do as is needed and have taken him in."

"But what grounds do you have to enter the Hou Mansion and let us care for you"

"To separate, is for each family to close their doors and live their own lives. To sever ties, means that right now, I don't even need to call you 'Uncle'."

"Technically speaking, as a commoner, you should have knelt when you saw me and the Marquis. Given your insolent words just now, pointing fingers at us, the Marquis could have had you arrested for disrespect and taken to the government office. He spared you only because of our past familial ties."

"Zong Pingkang, if you keep causing trouble, don't blame us for being merciless. Do you really think we have no way to deal with you"

When Zong Yu beckoned them out, Zhao Xingzhou immediately dispersed the commoners at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The crowd that spread rumors while watching the excitement had already dispersed, and Fang Jinshu was too lazy to act. Zong Yu pursed his lips tightly and grabbed Zong Pingkang's neck.

It can be broken with ease.

Zongping was being strangled, unable to breathe. The fear of death surged through him, and even with his blurry vision, he could still see the cold, murderous intent in Zongyu's eyes.

This is when the real fear began.

This nephew of theirs is no longer the timid, helpless country hunter they used to bully. He's grown wings and feathers now, and getting rid of him would be as easy as flipping your hand.

Zongping Kang beat Zongyu's wrist frantically.

"Please, please forgive me. I won't do it again."

When Fang Jinshi saw Zong Yu's demeanor, he realized something was amiss. He even had murderous intentions towards Zong Pingkang.

She reached out and tugged on his sleeve.

"Ah Yu, he can't die at the gate of Hou Mansion."

Zongping Kang was after all his elder brother. If Ao Yu really killed him here, the news would surely spread.

Even if Fang Jinshui didn't understand court politics, she knew those ministers would definitely not let go of this opportunity to impeach him. This was a highly immoral and treasonous act.

Even the Emperor, wanting to protect Ah Yu's reputation, would find it difficult to come up with a suitable excuse.

Such a foolish mistake must not be made.

Zong Yu didn't let go until Fang Jinxiu called out to him several times again. He watched as Zong Pingkang was really about to die.

His face was beet red, his eyes bulging out of their sockets.

"Are you mad, Ayou! Do you really want to kill him here"

Zongyu suddenly let go of his hand, his expression unchanged. He coldly uttered a single word from his mouth.

"Get out."

With his throat freed, Zongping coughed violently and took deep breaths.

Even so, his leaving was without any hesitation, as if there was a raging beast before him.

Fang Jinxiu watched him run away in terror, scrambling and rolling. She was a little worried about Zong Yu's condition.

She turned around, "Ayu, what was wrong with you just now"

It was as if he'd suddenly gone mad, his whole body radiating terrifying killing intent and hostility.

Zong Yu, however, looked at Fang Jinshu as if nothing had happened, even smiling.

"I'm fine."

"I know my limits."

"Someone like Uncle, if you don't really give him a memorable lesson, he won't remember it. Next time he'll come to the Hou Residence door and make a scene again."

After the struggle on the edge of life and death just now, he should not dare to come again.

Isn't this good

Fang Jinxiu was stunned for a moment. She knew in her heart that Zong Yu's actions were indeed correct and reasonable.

But the change in his expression just now still made her feel a little worried.

At first glance, Fang Jinxiu nodded slightly.

You are right.

"Since the person has run away, let's go in then. There are still two more to deal with inside."

Zong Yu nodded and followed her into the Hou Mansion, the mansion's gate closing behind them.

Actually, a seed of unease had already been planted in Fang Jinshu's heart.

It's a pity that she studied traditional Chinese medicine and doesn't understand psychology.

However, she could prescribe some mood-stabilizing medication for Zongyu. She hoped that Zongyu's situation wasn't as bad as she feared.

Mu couldn't figure out where to put Lady Wu. She and Zong Pingchuan had already separated, so Lady Wu was no longer her mother-in-law. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to live in the main courtyard.

So we can only temporarily bring people to the reception hall.

As soon as Old Mrs. Wu entered, she put on an air of a matriarch, calling out to Mu Shi constantly, asking her to pour tea one moment and water the next.

He even needed the Mu family to support him when crossing a doorway.

Mu Yunhe thought that since Jinxiu had let the person in, there must be her arrangement and intention. She temporarily obeyed Lady Wu's command and served her tea and water.

This scene made Zong Yulian's heart explode with anger.

She couldn't stand it any longer. She rushed out of the front hall and wanted to go find her sister-in-law to get to the bottom of things, to ask why she had brought grandma in.

This life, the person my mother fears most is her grandmother. And mother's body cannot bear to be tossed back and forth like this for a long time. It took so much effort to recover to where she is now. Could it be that we have to let her grandmother ruin her health again

The little girl was fuming.

As soon as she came out, she bumped into Fang Jinshu head-on. Seeing her sister-in-law's angry face, Fang Jinshu almost immediately understood what she meant.

"Sister-in-law, why did you agree to let grandma come in."

As soon as she arrived, she had her mother running around for her and ordered the servants to cook and massage her back. She acted as if this place was her own territory.

Fang Jinshi glanced at the contents of the plate from afar, shaking her head helplessly.

"Aren't you afraid of her"

"Letting her make such a scene outside, she's only bringing shame upon the Hou Mansion. Our situation is different now from before, you see. This is the capital city, not Xizhou, nor some village."

"The way things are handled can no longer be so simplistic and rough."

Jade Lotus didn't understand; her sister-in-law's explanation was like no explanation at all.

Fang Jinshu suddenly leaned close to her, smiling and saying, "Think about it, who is the master of Houfu's territory Who do the servants at home listen to"

It's better to have her in your grasp than let her make a scene outside.

"As long as I don't want outsiders to know her condition, even if she died in the house, no one would know, let alone put a hat of unfiliality on us."

These few sentences Yu Lian understood, she was truly furious and muddle-headed, her brain couldn't even turn a corner.

"That's right, this is our turf! Why should we keep putting up with Grandma's crap!"

She rolled up her sleeves and rushed back into the front hall, ready to show Grandma Wu how it was done.e mountains.Let me also make it clear to everyone that these few people are just exceptions, not everyone can bring their family members.Fang Jinshi explained this way, and then Village Chief Zhao fel...
