Chapter 18 Get Hands-On

he was still unhappy.“Aren’t we already in a cooperative relationship Didn’t you say you wanted me to be your subordinate Why didn’t you come to the county town and find me to arrange a place for you...When Old Mrs. Wu saw that it was pitch black inside, she didn't care if Mu and the others were asleep or not. She directly pounded on the wooden door with force and shouted loudly.

"Mu Yunhe, get your ass out here!"

"You dare to marry a wife Who agreed to this Have you become capable"

Zong Bai frowned and immediately got up, "Mother, I'll go chase Nanny away."

Mu quickly pulled him back, "Don't do it! She's your biological mother. How could you possibly hit her What if she goes outside and talks about this, your future career in the Imperial Examinations will be ruined!"

Zong Bai's face was full of irritability, another imperial examination.

For so many years, he had been bound by this reason, bullied by the people from the old house, and he was fed up with it.

"We may not even live to see the end of this year, and you're still thinking about me taking the imperial examinations."

He muttered under his breath, and Mu heard him but couldn't refute. A bitterness welled up in her heart.

"Don't move. Your mother must have heard from your uncle that I brought a beautiful wife back for your elder brother, so she came here upset."

"It's fine, I'll go out and let her rant for a bit to get it off her chest. She'll leave eventually."

Zong Bai didn't think his nanny would leave so easily.

He wanted to grab his mother, but was a step too late. Mu had already walked over and opened the door.

The moon suddenly emerged from the clouds, casting a faint moonlight over this place. Mu Shi strained to see Wu Shi's face.

The old woman's face was creased with wrinkles and her expression was deeply gloomy. The cold moonlight cast upon her face made her look quite frightening at first glance.

"Mother, why are you here so late"

Mrs. Wu slapped Mrs. Mu without saying a word. Mrs. Mu was frail and couldn't withstand such a powerful slap.

She tripped and fell to the ground without noticing.

"Mother!" Zong Bai rushed forward.

Inside, Zong Yu and Fang Jinshi heard the noise and scrambled to open the door. They had already stood up as soon as Wu's knocked, but the room was pitch black. The two bumped into each other accidentally.

Zong Yu thought of Fang Jinxiu's frail body and was afraid she would be injured if she bumped into something. The moment she bumped into something, he immediately protected her with his strong body.

Fang Jinxiu was held in his arms, and all she could hear was a thud in her ear.

That was the sound of Zongyu hitting something.

When she came to her senses, she found herself riding on top of someone. The feeling under her palm was firm, full, and hot.

Fang Jinshu's face was flushed red, and her hands and feet worked together as she climbed down from someone's body.

She knew Zongyu was holding her this way to protect her, but she was unexpectedly touched by him.

Words of thanks were on his lips when suddenly a scolding voice from an old woman came from outside. Fang Jinshu heard the sound and Zong Yu quickly got up and pulled open the door.

She hurriedly put away her embarrassment and ran out after him.

As soon as he came out, he saw his mother-in-law being slapped to the ground. The Zong brothers rushed over to Mrs. Mu's side.

"Mother," Zong Yu stood up, his face as cold as ice, staring fixedly at Wu Laotai.

Mrs. Wu was a bit afraid of the second son's family, although Zongyu was her grandson. She had disliked this child since he was little.

He looked fierce and never smiled. He was also very tongue-tied and couldn't speak.

I've always been a bit of an oddball.

Mrs. Wu yelled at him, "You little punk, what are you looking at!"

Today I'm here to tell you all, as long as this old woman is alive, everything big and small in our family will be decided by me.

"Mu Yunhe, haven't you gone mad To secretly stash silver to buy a wife for your son."

"Until the second son pays back all the family's debts, every silver coin you have will belong to me!"

"Give her back to me, and I want my money back."

Mu forcefully pushed herself up. She could bear just about anything else, but this was something she couldn't tolerate.

"Mother, Jinxiu has already entered our family. She is now a member of our clan. I will not take back my word."

When Mrs. Wu saw that she dared to retort and resist her, her eyes widened in anger, and she pretended to prepare to slap Mu Yunhe again.

Zong Yu's eyes turned cold. He stood in front of Mu Shi, and with a punch, slammed his fist into the door panel beside Wu Lao Tai's cheek.

The gate suddenly appeared with a gaping hole, and his sinister expression was clearly illuminated by the moonlight.

Grandmother Wu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her legs went weak. She almost collapsed to the ground.

Zong Kangping came over along the way, he didn't see Wu Laodai slapping Mu Shi, but he just happened to see Zong Yu scaring Wu Laotai.

"Zongyu, you little brat, how dare you hit your own grandmother!"might, disappearing in a blink of an eye. Dong'er saw this and panicked too. He didn't care about anything and quickly followed Yuanbao."Yuán Bǎo! You're back."Yuan Bao didn't want to be caught by his...
