lpower might even stare at him intently, unable to look away.But the woman across from him, her gaze only lingered on his face for a moment before looking away. It seemed, it seemed like she even roll...Chapter 1075: Drink some water, don't get angry.

The people of Xixia are also human, and they are all innocent. Fang Jinshi is not so cruel, and she doesn't like it when people lose their lives because of her.

"Alright, alright. Since there's no document from the Xixia stating their entry into the pass, I guess I can't go either."

"Let's not talk about this for now, we'll go back tomorrow morning."

Zongyu saw that she had dispelled the idea of going to Xixia to seek revenge from Li Lie, and temporarily relaxed, her expression returning to normal.

"Let's go, I'm tired after a day of running around."

They returned to the guest room and saw that everyone was there, even Bai Xuan and Bai Yu, the siblings.

"Sister-in-law, brother, you're back."

"I packed some food for you at the store and I'm going to heat it up now and bring it over."

Fan Jinshi pulled Yu Lian back. "No need, my brother and I aren't hungry right now."

Zongyu nodded, indeed he had no appetite.

"What's wrong " Yulian noticed that her older brother and sister-in-law's expressions were not quite right, as if they had just had a fight.

"It's nothing, what about Qianqian"

"Qianqian Who is she"

Fang Jinshu glanced around the room and found that only Qin Qianqian was missing. She turned and went out to look for He Si, and it turned out that Qin Qianqian had been arranged in another guest room.

When she brought Qin Qianqian over, Yulian was startled.

"She, she isn't Mr. Qin's daughter, is she"

"How could she be here."

In this house, Qin Qianqian only recognized the couple Fang Jinshu and Yu Lian. The rest were all strangers. She subconsciously felt a little afraid and huddled behind Zongyu.

"Let her explain what happened herself."

Over the years, Zong Bai has been looking for you and your daughter. Mr. Qin is his teacher, and Zong Bai cares deeply about your safety.

Qin Qianqian nodded, she knew the Zong family were good people and had always been kind to her and her father.

It's just fate playing tricks.

"His father, he is deceased."

Yu Lian felt a pang of sadness upon hearing the news. Mr. Qin was a kind man with a wealth of knowledge, and who knows how many students he had tutored over the years.

Why does such a good person not deserve more kindness from God, but instead those cunning and vicious bad people live so long and comfortably.

"My father was killed to protect me."

“At first, we were driven out of Jinshi Mountain Villa. After you disappeared, my father sensed something was wrong and hid all the silver you had given us.”

"After we were driven out, we settled in Lixiche Town with this money. Everything was fine at first, but one time when I went out to buy groceries, I was kidnapped."

"Father found those men. They never intended to let me go from the start, but they still tricked my father into thinking he had to pay them to release me."

"They not only cheated us out of all our money, but also forced my father into hard labor. It's all my fault, it's all because of me that my father is suffering."

Qin Qianqian covered her face and burst into tears. Bai Xuan couldn't bear to hear about others' misfortunes, and Qin Qianqian's tears infected her too; she started shedding tears as well.

"Qianqian, don't be sad. Those bad people will surely get what they deserve. They won't end well."

"Your father, being in Heaven, definitely hopes you'll be well."

Qin Qianqian raised her head to glance at the unfamiliar girl, merely nodding lightly before retreating further behind Zong Yu.

Yu Lian and Fang Jinxiu didn't take it seriously, even when they saw her little movements, they only thought she was sad and afraid.

As they were all women, Qin Qianqian's previous experiences were truly heartbreaking. This girl really suffered a lot. She had a good family, but then bandits attacked, her mother was killed, and she herself was violated by the bandits.

After finally living a peaceful period, she was driven out again. Her father died to save her, and she's probably suffered greatly these past few years.

The few women present could hardly bear to think further.

Even Fang Jinshu felt sorry for her, so she was especially lenient towards Qin Qianqian.

However, there was one person present who remained calm and quietly observed Qin Qianqian's every move.

Just as she was getting closer and closer to Zongyu, Mujin stepped forward and pulled the person to her side.

At first, Qin Qianqian resisted a little, and Fang Jinshu was also puzzled.

"Hibiscus, what are you doing"

Mojin Mian said expressionlessly, "Master, she has injuries that haven't been treated."

"Let me take care of that for Miss Qin."

Fang Jinxiu frowned. Although Mugwort was her newly acquired maid, she could tell the girl shared similarities with Xiaoyue: quiet but kind-hearted, cold on the outside but warm within.

She was by no means the kind of person who would take the initiative to overstep boundaries.

"Alright, you take Qianqian down to freshen up and clean yourself. It's our negligence that we haven't let her change into clean clothes until now."

Qin Qianqian was obviously reluctant to leave with Mu Jin, Fang Jinshu smiled at her.

"Hibiscus has no ill intentions towards you, it's alright. You can follow her to take care of the wounds on your body."

Qin Qianqian's experience was truly lamentable, but for the few of them, it was just a small episode.

After all, those who kidnapped and tried to sell her back then are definitely long gone.

Over the years, she was sold around, unknowingly ending up here. The score had long been muddled, and it was unclear who to hold accountable for revenge.

"It's getting late, Brother Fang and Sister-in-law Fang. Let's go to the auction together early tomorrow."

I won't bother you any further today. Get some rest early.

Fang Jinshi called them to a halt.

"Master Bai, tomorrow we may not go to the auction. We have finished our business here, bought the person, and tomorrow we should return."

Bai Xuan, upon hearing this, hurriedly shook off her younger brother and ran back to Fang Jinxiu's side.

"What, Sister Jinxiu, you're leaving so soon"

"The auction lasts for three days, so why not stay two more days It's not too late to see everything before leaving."

Bai Yu pulled someone back with her hand.

"Bai Xuan, don't be willful."

Fang Jinshu smiled. "It's okay."

"I heard that there are still aristocratic families from the Western Xia kingdom coming to auction tomorrow. Aren't you going to stay and watch"

"How fresh, a Xixia noble being sold as a slave. Sister Jinshu, aren't you curious at all"

The four words "Western Xia nobility" struck a nerve in Fang Jinshi's mind, Zong Yu was about to open his mouth to refuse.

"Well, that's certainly something new. It wouldn't hurt to take a look."

Fang Jinxiu had already agreed first.

Bai Xuan, hearing this, happily grabbed her arm and shook it. "Yes, yes! That way I can continue to stay with Sister Jinxiu for two more days."

"We can watch the excitement first and go back later. Anyway, it doesn't cost anything to stay in the guest rooms here."

After Bai's siblings left, Zongyu had a hard time getting along with his wife.

"Do you have to go"

Fang Jinxiu knew what Zongyu was talking about. She poured a cup of tea and, as she turned her back to him, her expression showed a hint of conflict. In the end, a pinch of white powder still fell into the tea.

"Bai Xuan is too clingy, and anyway we don't have anything special to do if we go back now."

"You still have to go to court. Tomorrow morning, take Qianshi and Mujin back first. I want to stay and play with Qianshi for two more days."

"I quite like this girl."

A hint of doubt crossed Zongyu's face. "Just like that"

Fang Jinshu nodded. "Well, what else would you think Just a Xi Xia slave, how could he possibly be of help to me"
