reating this illness once my own affairs are settled."After finishing her words, she continued to leave. The portly old man still wore that amiable smile and calmly took out a silver note worth one hu...Chapter 1079: What Are You Talking About in Front of Everyone

The next day's auction, Jiang Chuang still went, but this time his eyes kept looking at a certain room on the second floor.

When Jiang Chuang saw Fang Jinxiu's face appear on the window sill, his gaze softened considerably. But when Bai Yu's face, which looked just like a pretty boy, also appeared afterwards, especially since he was sticking to 'Fang Jinxiu' and so close, Jiang Chuang's face turned black as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Go check who the guests are in that room on the second floor."

Who is this little white face around Xiu Xiu How could Zong Yu allow another man to get so close to Xiu Xiu

Jiang Chuang felt something was wrong.

Yuan Buyu had him kill Xiu Xiu, and Jiang Chuan still didn't know how to conceal this mission from the authorities.

He could never really hurt Xiuxiu, but he couldn't just leave that poor woman to fend for herself either.

In a short while, Jiang Chuang's subordinate returned, bringing with him a piece of news that made his eyes light up.

"Reporting back to Master, in the private room on the second floor is a brother and sister surnamed Bai. The man is Bai Yu."

The servants at the manor heard him call her "Sister Fang," and since the woman who resembled Fang so closely was not Fang herself,

Jiang Chuang still raised his head to look at the second floor, but his eyes had changed.

became playfully cold.

Yesterday, the maid who could change her appearance seemed to be the one in this private room who took the picture. Jiang Chuang seemed to understand something.

The auction was nearing its end, but Fang Jinshu hadn't shown up. Zong Yu finished his morning duties and rode straight to the manor on a fast horse. He had returned, but Fang Jinshu was still asleep.

Before leaving, Zongyu had specifically instructed Yulian not to disturb her sister-in-law while she was sleeping. Yulian took her older brother's orders very seriously and followed them meticulously.

This wasn't uncommon for Zhao Xingzhou; since Zong Yu recovered his memories, the young mistress would be exhausted and unable to get up until the afternoon most days. He’d sleep all morning until around midday.

In the afternoon, Fang Jinshi woke up after a good sleep, her body aching as if she had participated in ten marathons.

But she was exceptionally blessed with a remarkable recovery ability and a solid foundation thanks to her spiritual fountain transformation. Although she felt soreness, it didn't affect her health. Moving around after getting out of bed for a while gradually eased the strange feeling.

Otherwise, Zongyu wouldn't dare to treat her like this.

She opened her eyes to see Zong Yu walking over with a glass of water.

"Wake up, have some water."

At times like this, he was exceptionally caring, his movements gentle as he helped her up. He then sat behind her, acting as a human cushion for her to lean against.

He was a different person from the one who had been writhing on the bed all night.

"Afternoon again"

Lien Fang-jhih had gotten used to waking up in the afternoon. Seeing that the sunlight outside was off, she gritted her teeth a little.

"It's better to stay home. This is someone else's territory. If people found out, how could I face Bai Xuan and the others"

Zong Yu acted as if nothing had happened and fed her water. After she finished drinking, he told Fang Jinshu a story that made her extremely embarrassed.

"Young Miss Bai came to look for you early this morning."

"I said you're still asleep, so I let her go to today's auction. This meeting should be about over by now."

"Alright, you accompany her tomorrow."

Fang Jinxiu's drinking motion stopped abruptly. She turned her head, gritting her teeth and staring at a certain man who was smirking at the corner of his mouth.

"You did that on purpose."

"Zongyu, I find you rather cruel now. Bai Xuan is just a young girl who doesn't understand anything."

"You're such a lovey-dovey old man, why are you flaunting your affection in front of her She doesn't even understand!"

Zong Yu raised an eyebrow. Bai Xuan didn't understand, and he wasn't showing off to her either.

Fang Jinxiu narrowed her eyes, watching his smug little expression, and suddenly understood something.

"You! Did you do this on purpose for Bai Yu to see"

Zongyu remained silent, only raising one eyebrow slightly.

Fang Jinshi was speechless, with a feeling of amusement and helplessness.

"Bai Yu is just so young, you're being petty by getting jealous. Just find someone your own age to be envious of."

She was setting up a defense against all the men who came near her. When did A-yu's possessiveness become so strong

"Maybe you're overthinking it, I didn't say anything."

Okay, he's throwing a fit and now he even pretends nothing happened.

Or could it be that even last night's ordeal was part of his deliberate plan

Fang Jinshi felt she couldn't think about it anymore. If she continued, she wouldn't be able to look at Zong Yu's face without getting angry.

"Move aside, I'm getting up."

Yesterday I promised Bai Xuan to accompany her to an auction, and it's not good to break promises.

She got up and dressed. Zong Yu stood aside and didn't do anything or stop her.

"I'll go with you."

Fang Jinxiu wasn't really in the mood to deal with him right now, but she didn't say no to letting him come along either.

Perhaps there are still people loyal to Yuan Buyu in the manor. Fang Jinshi is still clear-headed about what's important and doesn't want to cause A Yu any more trouble or worry in this matter.

Before she went out, she called Mojing to help her disguise herself. She still looked as ordinary as yesterday, the kind that would be lost in a crowd.

Also a matter of honour.

When the two arrived at the auction house, it was just as the crowd was dispersing. Fang Jinshu looked at the departing people and sighed.

"Still not fast enough, hope Bai Xuan won't blame me."

She stood outside the door for a long time, finally seeing Bai Xuan and Bai Yu come out. When she saw Bai Xuan still attending the auction with her flamboyant face, Fang Jinxiu frowned.

"Sister Jinxiu!"

Bai Xuan was overjoyed to see Fang Jinxiu come to pick her up, and the previous frustration of being stood up vanished instantly.

She ran all the way to her face.

"Jinxiu sister, you're here!"

Fang Jinshu was a little apologetic, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxuan, I kept my promise late."

To everyone's surprise, Bai Xuan not only didn't get angry, but instead took Fang Jinxiu's arm, giving her the look of "I knew you wouldn't come."

"Sister, luckily you didn't come today."

“You don't even know how shady the master of this manor is. They spread rumors that a Xi Xia nobleman would be auctioned off, but the whole thing turned out to be nothing! Not even a single Xi Xia nobleman, let alone us two ordinary Xi Xia slaves.”

"It's just a gimmick to keep us here making them money!"

Originally, that Western Xia nobleman didn't appear today. Fang Jinshu thought she wouldn't have a chance, but it seemed like even Heaven was helping her.

"Alright, don't be angry. They won't show up today, but they definitely will tomorrow. After all, their entire auction relies on making money like this."

"Then we will come again tomorrow, sister. Could you please wake up a bit earlier tomorrow"

Bai Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, but the people who knew the truth blushed. She wondered why she hadn't been able to wake up early today. Everyone in the room except this innocent young girl knew the reason.

"Well, well, I'll definitely get up early tomorrow and come with you. I promise."

After finishing her sentence, she secretly glared at Zong Yu beside her. Zong Yu nodded seriously.

"Okay, I will make her wake up early tomorrow."

Fang Jinshu was choked and her ears quietly flushed red.

This guy, he dares to say anything in front of others!

Now she's braver than me!d her cheek, his expression and tone when speaking to his wife were simply incredibly tender."You're not going to the restroom, you're looking for the person who was shouting prices on the first floor...
