Zong Yu looked at her in surprise, "Can you heal" >Fang Jinshu heard the conversation between the mother and son just now, and her heart was deeply moved.If she were to simply live at her family's hom...Chapter 1144: Force Them to Hand Over the Map

Fang Jinshui shook her head.

"Silly girl, do we need to be so polite between us"

Looking at Tana's beautiful face, Fang Jinshi sometimes felt pity. Such a good girl, it would be wonderful if they could become a family.

Just like Zong Bai hasn't married a wife yet, she found the scene of the two sitting side by side very well-matched. Both of them are good-looking, and sitting together is like a beautiful painting, very pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that Tanna couldn't make her own decision about marriage, as the Emperor had already arranged it for her.

It's such a pity.

The first day's competition ended, and Fang Jinshu rode home in a carriage with Zong Yu, who had won her the spoils of victory.

During that time, Zong Bai disappeared for a while. When they were about to get into the carriage, they found him already inside, waiting for them. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Only Zong Bai's face looked a little off. As a doctor, Fang Jinshu immediately noticed that he was injured. Although incense was lit in the carriage, she still smelled a hint of blood through the fragrance.

"Zongbai, are you hurt"

When Zong Yu heard that his younger brother was injured, his expression also became tense.

"Where are you hurt"

Zong Bai still wanted to deny it, but looking at his elder brother and sister-in-law's concerned expressions, he suddenly felt a pang of regret. He should have taken a separate carriage by himself this morning, and now he wouldn't be seen through by his sister-in-law.

"Back."

He knew that lying to Fang Jinshui at this time was useless. His sister-in-law was a doctor, and her senses were sharper than ordinary people. Even the incense couldn't cover up the faint smell of blood.

Zong Yu directly reached out and lifted the back of Zong Bai's clothes. Fang Jinxiu turned her body and took a box of ointment for external wounds from the space and handed it to him.

"If it's an external injury, apply this first. It can stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and also has a pain-relieving effect."

"Put something on that will make Zongbai feel better."

Having taken the item, Zong Yi gave a slight nod of thanks to Zong Bo.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Fang Jinshi frowned, "Just now it was fine, we just left for a while, who hurt you"

Both husband and wife were extremely protective people. Zong Bai was still their younger brother, and normally they wouldn't even spare a harsh word towards him. Now that he had been hurt and was bleeding, it was unbearable for them.

Fan Jinxiu was already starting to get angry in her heart, knowing who it was, she would definitely not let that person off.

"Sister-in-law, I did this myself, nobody hurt me."

After applying the ointment to my back, it felt much better. My sister-in-law's medicine is always the best, so cooling and soothing. The burning pain of the wound was instantly eased.

"Much better, thank you big brother, and thank you sister-in-law."

Zong Bai put on his clothes, and Fang Jinxiu only then turned her body back. The couple stared at him with serious faces.

"Are those really injuries you caused yourself"

Zong Bai nodded, "Well, I made a mistake I shouldn't have made, and I deserve to be punished."

Zong Yu Chao Fang Jinxiu nodded slightly. Zong Bai's back was covered in whip wounds, the kind of injury that could only be inflicted by military personnel carrying out disciplinary punishment.

Both of them were not fools, they could tell that Zong Bai was unwilling to elaborate on the situation. It seemed he wasn't actually being bullied.

"Alright, since you don't want to say anything then we won't press you. Just make sure you're not being taken advantage of."

Zong Bai was very grateful for his sister-in-law's understanding.

A daughter-in-law wouldn't even pursue this matter, let alone would Zongyu make things difficult for his younger brother. Children grow up and having their own little secrets is perfectly normal.

"Only I got hurt about this, sister-in-law, you must absolutely not let Mother know."

Fang Jinshu nodded. "Don't worry, I won't tell mother."

"Take good care of yourself these few days, and try not to get your wound wet to prevent inflammation."

"Hmm."

After returning to the Hou Mansion, Fang Jinshu cut a small piece of dragon's blood and put it in a box, handing it to Chang He.

Store it in the warehouse and keep it safe.

The Hou Mansion's storeroom was merely a display, containing only gifts received by the mansion for its various affairs and some ordinary valuables.

The truly valuable treasures were all collected by Fang Jinshu in the space.

Although she knew that based on Zong Yi's current status, there were hardly anyone in the entire capital city who dared to touch their family's treasury, she still chose to be cautious. As long as the treasures inside the space were safe, their Zong family's foundation would remain intact.

The long river flows over the box.

"It is the madam."

The remaining large chunk of ambergris was taken into the spatial pouch by Fang Jinshi.

Mu and Yulian were waiting at the door early. When they saw them return, they hurriedly welcomed them in.

Jade Lotus excitedly asked, “Big Brother, Second Brother, was the palace very lively today Did Big Brother win first place in today’s strongman competition”

She fired off a barrage of questions, causing Mu to smile wryly.

"It's getting late, your brother and sister-in-law must be hungry by now."

The dishes are all ready, just waiting for you to come back. Let's eat first, and then we can talk after dinner.

Fang Jinshu went over and supported Mu Shi, "Mother has spoken, how dare we disobey."

"Have dinner first, then we'll talk."

Yu Lian was anxious and chased after Fang Jinxiu, chattering incessantly by her side. Even on this short stretch of road, she clung to Fang Jinxiu and asked countless questions.

Zong Yu walked behind and glanced at Zong Bai.

"Can you still bear it"

If you can't bear it, I'll have someone bring the food to your room.

Zong Bai shook his head. "Thank you, brother, I can handle it."

If you bring the meal to my room, Mom will definitely get suspicious.

Zongyu remembered something and frowned slightly, "The Wen Sai is the day after tomorrow. Will you still be able to participate"

Although writing an article isn't as intense as a duel, it can be quite tiring after a while. Luckily, Zong Bai wasn't your average frail scholar. From a young age, he did all sorts of odd jobs following Zong Yu around.

Their physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary students.

For so many years, Fang Jinshi has been meticulously taking care of the health of her whole family. Zong Bo couldn't help but tease his older brother about it.

"Big brother, you still think of me as a three-year-old kid to worry about"

"Although my physical abilities aren't as good as my older brother's, I'm still a healthy man of seven feet tall. This kind of injury is nothing to me."

"With the medicine given by my sister-in-law, it will definitely scab and heal in two days."

Zongyu patted his younger brother's shoulder, "Hmm."

When Herle woke up at the Xixia post station, he was furious. He gritted his teeth against the searing pain in his wrist and snarled.

"Bring me that scum from the North Frontier."

He knew that Zong Yu was the one who hurt him, but right now he really didn't have a better reason to attack him.

The imperial physician said that the wounds on his wrists were just skin deep. Martial Duke Marquis only grasped his wrist and did not attack him, but who could understand how Martial Duke Marquis exerted such strength

How could you make him look like this, all bruised and battered, without even breaking a single bone This kind of injury is too humiliating! Word will get around that he was injured by something or someone else, not himself. Who would believe that story!

Helre couldn't find Zongyu to avenge himself, so he took his anger out on the warrior from Beijang instead.

The Western Xia Imperial Guard, with a menacing presence, charged to the front of the inn where the Northern Border emissaries were staying, demanding they hand over Ertu."Ayu, to go to the medicine hall isn't this way.""Let's not go to the medical hall first," Zong Yu said without looking back."Could it be that Master Zong wants to take a stroll through the county tow...
