Chapter 1246 She Was Completely Reassured

e men.This was also what she said when she heard Fang Jinshu and Zong's family arguing last time, only then did she realize.It's true that having children is meant to help with aging, but I haven't he...Chapter 1246: She Was Completely Reassured

Four people had dinner together in a small town on the border that evening. Zongbai finally learned the specific reason why his elder brother and sister-in-law were not doing well.

"So, sister-in-law actually went through so much in Xixia."

"The elder princess was a good mother, you have my condolences."

Just as Mama said, everyone dies eventually. It's just a matter of sooner or later. Perhaps this is another kind of liberation for her.

Tana saw the atmosphere at the table gradually becoming heavy, and suddenly announced some good news.

"By the way, we have some good news to share with you this time."

Zong Bai nodded.

What good news

Fang Jinshi asked.

A gold mine was discovered within the northern border.

Fang Jinshu was taken aback, and then her eyes widened.

"Gold..."

She immediately realized that this environment was not suitable for saying certain things directly, as there were more than just the four of them dining at the inn.

"Is it true How big is it"

Zong Bai nodded, a smile appeared on his face, "It's true, I've checked it repeatedly."

"It's not huge, but it's enough to keep the northern border region developing for twenty years without worrying about food and drink."

Upon hearing this news, Fang Jinshu was overjoyed.

The Northern Border was the weakest of the four nations, no matter which way you looked at it. A nation without enough strength would eventually be swallowed up.

The help she provided to the north border region was something that would take a long time to see significant results. The north border region lacked everything, but if there was money, none of this would be a problem.

This time, seeing Zongbai and Tanna together, she clearly felt that the quality of their relationship had changed. Zongbai should not be leaving Beijang anymore.

But the situation in Beijiang also worried Fang Jinshu. She didn't want her loved ones to experience any more misfortune.

Though what follows might sound a bit like cold water being poured over their enthusiasm, the most fundamental purpose is still to remind them to be careful and cautious, not to be blinded by the joy of finding gold.

"It's certainly a great thing, but it's also very dangerous."

"You must keep the news of the gold mines strictly confidential, at least until the Northern Army has become truly strong. Under no circumstances should the information leak out."

Needless to say, Zong Bai understood what she was about to say.

Thank you for reminding me, sister-in-law. We understand that.

"Don't worry, only our trusted confidants and a very few within the Beijiang royal family know about the gold mine."

The fewer people who know about this, the better.

"You should still pack up and hurry back to the northern border. How can it be right to let others see something so important"

Fang Jinshu had a serious expression. Although she wouldn't let Beijang get into trouble even without this gold mine, now that it had been discovered, the things belonging to Zong Bo and Tana naturally couldn't be touched by others.

"Rest assured, sister-in-law. We will be back soon once we see that you are all safe and sound."

"But before we go back, Tana and I will send you back to Xizhou first."

Fang Jinshu was taken aback and turned to look at Zong Yu.

"With them escorting you, I'll feel a little more at ease."

Fāng Jǐnxī wanted to say no, but seeing the worry in the three people's eyes, the words that had reached her lips changed from refusal to...

"Well, then I'll trouble you to accompany me for a while."

The northern border and the Western Territories are two different directions. She knew these two people were here because they were worried about her, even abandoning matters in the northern border.

Zong Bai said he wasn't that busy, but there was no way.

She runs a manor, she has so many decisions to make every day, let alone running a country.

But Fang Jinshi couldn't refuse this gesture.

She lost Jiang Chuang and then lost Zhao Xingzhou in the desert forest.

In the Xi Xia Imperial Palace, even Princess Chang, who was treated as a close relative by her, lost her life to protect her. Fang Jinshu felt a chill run down her spine, she could no longer bear the pain of losing other loved ones and friends.

Cherish their intentions well.

"That's great, I thought my sister-in-law would refuse."

Fang Jinshui smiled, "Why do you say that"

"Zong Bai laughed and said, 'Because your sister-in-law has always been like this, although we all know that you can definitely return to Xizhou safely on your own, our hearts just can't rest easy.'"

"If I could see you safely return home with my own eyes, we would feel much more at ease on our way back to Beijng."

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. It turned out that even if she were strong, the people who cared about her would still worry about her safety.

She deeply reflected on herself.

"From now on, I won't do that again."

Zongyu reached out and embraced Fang Jinshu's waist, pulling her closer to his chest.

When Zong Bai heard Fang Jinxiu's words, he was stunned. He had never seen his sister-in-law like this before; she didn't seem like herself at all.

"Alright then, let's eat. Big brother, Jinshu sister, the food is getting cold."

Tana aptly intervened, easing the tension. Zong responded immediately and smoothly steered the conversation in a different direction. Gradually, the atmosphere at the dinner table improved, and laughter began to fill the air.

That night, the four of them rested at the inn. The next morning, Zong Yu would return to the capital to pick up Mu Shi and Yu Lian from the palace. Then they would bid farewell to Fu Shangyuan; he was supposed to fulfill his promise and send them back to Xi Zhou.

While Fang Jinshu went back to Jinshu Mountain Villa first and found a geomantically auspicious site to bury the Princess.

In the evening, the couple lay in bed. After being apart for over two years, it was a little difficult to immediately return to their previous intimate state.

Furthermore, Fang Jinxiu's condition had not been good. Since receiving this message from Fang Jinxiu at the Xixia Palace, Zong Yu had kept his distance from her.

They each lay on one side, with a distance between them.

Fang Jinshi couldn't sleep. After seeing Zong Bai and Tanna today, she felt much better. The sadness brought by the death of the princess was also diluted somewhat by the presence of her loved ones.

This made her finally realize there was something off about their marriage.

Looking at Zong Yu, he saw the furrow in his brow from across that short distance.

She knew that Zong Yu kept his distance because he was worried about her. She hadn't realized it before, but now that she did, she felt very annoyed.

"Ah-Yu, I'm a little cold."

Fang Jinshu pulled the corners of her mouth, realizing she sounded a bit insincere. She could have just walked up and hugged the person. She didn't know why she ended up being so roundabout with her words.

"Wait for me."

Zong Yu heard her calling out from the cold, immediately got up and went to the inn's counter to rummage. There was still a spare quilt inside. He took it over just as he was about to put it on Fang Jinxiu.

But when he got to the bedside, he saw that Jinxiu's undergarments were all gone, thrown on the edge of the bed. Zongyu stiffened all over, his hand holding the blanket involuntarily clenching into a fist.

The culprit, Fang Jinshu, had already slipped into Zong Yu's blanket first, only showing his head outside.

"I don't like this way of warming up."

“I want you.”

Although more than two years had passed, Fang Jinshu still had the ability to explode Zongyu's reputation with a single sentence. He roared and quickly threw off the quilt, scrambling onto the bed.

Fang Jinxiu wasn't sure if her clumsy seduction techniques would still work on Zong Yu, after all people change, and it had been over two years.

But now, she is completely at ease.

Pain endured A Reputation's more domineering than usual affection with happiness. panicked and turned to his father, "Father, these two can't leave! She can cure Fifth Sister's illness!"Mr. Zhao frowned, to be honest, he didn't believe in Fang Jinshu's medical skills at all.Firstl...
