Chapter 41: The Jade Lotus is Gone

He knew his young daughter-in-law was more delicate than the average village girl and shouldn't have lost her composure.

Seeing his pained and guilty expression, Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh.

She wasn't truly angry with Zongyu.

She also knew this man was strong, and it was his first time being intimate. Just from that chaotic kiss earlier, she could tell he had no experience in this area.

He definitely didn't mean to hurt her.

It's just a habit to act cute and get men to pity you, so that later on they won't go too far.

Zong Yu saw her smile and suddenly looked up at her.

Fang Jinshu took the opportunity to pinch the muscles that she had been craving for two days. Her little hand landed on his solid arm, and she said softly.

"Next time, please don't use so much force."

"Got it."

Next time, the daughter-in-law said next time.

Zongyu's face visibly brightened, his frown disappearing as he quickly nodded.

After she finished her meal, Zongyu took the bowl away and didn't even ask her to get off the bed.

Then he brought over a damp cloth and handed it to her.

"Wipe yourself down."

During these two days together, Zongyu discovered that his daughter-in-law was very clean. Even when she was reluctant to use water, she would break a tender branch in the morning after waking up to clean her teeth.

Always keep your face clean.

He knew that women love to bathe, and as a daughter-in-law who loves cleanliness, she would certainly be no exception. The only problem was that there wasn't enough water at home even for drinking, let alone bathing.

Only a clean damp cloth could be found, and she used it to wipe him down.

After having an intimate encounter, Fong Kam-sau felt that Chung Yuet was more attentive to her.

She wouldn't say she fell in love with Zongyu at first sight, but given the circumstances, of course, she would live as comfortably as possible.

Just now, that kiss, she didn't force herself.

Maybe she's just settled down in the Zong family for life. After all, he is her legitimate husband.

She took the towel and, seeing the man staring straight at her, glared at him angrily.

"Go out."

"Could it be that you want to see"

She certainly didn't want to consummate her marriage with Zong Yu under such circumstances, for fear of contracting a gynecological disease.

It goes without saying how long Zongyu hasn't taken a shower.

"Oh oh." He blushed and turned to leave.

He didn't go far, sitting on the stone at the doorstep.

Fāng Jǐnxiù was rubbing her body inside, just thinking about it made her feel flushed.

His eyes grew deep, his mind filled with the smiling eyes of his future daughter-in-law.

Zong Bai went out for a circle, holding a shoe in his hand and hurried back.

I saw my older brother sitting in the courtyard.

"Oh no, Big Brother," he started shouting from afar.

Fang Jinshu just finished washing herself and heard the noise. She immediately opened the door.

Zong Bai ran out of breath, "Shoes, these are Yulian's shoes. I found them by the field at Ximen, but I didn't see Yulian herself."

"Big brother, Yu Lian is truly gone."

Fang Jinxiu was unclear what had happened.

"Where has the Jade Lotus gone"

Even though she and that girl are at odds, she doesn't want anything bad to happen to her. She genuinely cares.

"Zongyu frowned, "Have you checked everywhere around"

Zong Bai hurriedly nodded, “I found her. I’ve been to all the places she usually goes, but I haven't seen her except for this shoe.”

"Big brother, do you really think Yu Lian would be in any real danger"

The three siblings grew up relying on each other, their bond deeper than that of most families. Zong Bai was so distraught he was close to tears.

Zongyu's face was also extremely grave, and he took up his bow and arrow to go out.

Fang Jinshi recalled something and quickly grabbed him, taking out the remaining three strings of copper coins from her bosom and shoving them into Zongyu's hand.

"Leave her to me, don't worry and go to Yu Lian."

"When necessary, get the villagers to help you look. Reward them with a few coins each, and they'll definitely be willing to lend a hand. Many hands make light work, so it'll be much faster than just the two of you searching."

The earlier she finds Yu Lian, the less danger she'll be in.

"Go, and be careful yourselves as well."

At this moment, Zong Bai truly wanted to kneel down for his sister-in-law. Their family had been incredibly lucky; she was simply too kind.

"Let's go, Big Brother."

Zongyu nodded and held his wife's hand.

"Close the door and wait for me to come back."ers-in-law of the Du family were in a panic, "Mother, that's a thousand taels! Zhao Yunni this sickly woman is a scourge even at home.""Next time there won't be such a good opportunity for someone to...
