Chapter 234 You Don't Have To Worry About Me
"Well, well, well, I'll marry, can't I""Zong Bai, quickly go get some water."Just then, Fang Jinshu walked in with a cup of licorice juice made with spiritual spring water."Don't need water, drink thi...In a short while, the young women in the room tidied up everything. Fang Jinshu also introduced them to the identities of several men outside.
"They're all my family. I won't introduce Dean Qin too much, you folks who live in town should know him already. Don't be afraid, everyone."
Thanks to the preventive shot she had taken beforehand, when the door opened, the girls only flinched slightly at the sight of Zong Yu and Zong Bai. The scene was indeed much calmer, with no other incidents occurring.
When Dr. Qin learned that his daughter was still alive, he let out a sigh of relief. He begged Zong Bai to help him find his wife again.
Of course, Zong Bai couldn't refuse. He carried Qin Chongyan and walked around the mayor's house several times, searching every big and small room, even checking the cow shed and horse stable in the backyard, but he still couldn't find Huang's whereabouts.
The longer Qin the director searched, the less confident he felt.
After all the young ladies had boarded the carriages, Fang Jinshi instructed Zong Yu to bring Zong Bai and Dean Qin back. It was getting late; they should set off for their return journey.
After Zong Bai came out, he mysteriously approached Fang Jinshu and pulled her aside, scratching his head in confusion.
"Sister-in-law, I was just about to search this den for any food supplies. After all, with so many people here, they must need to eat and drink."
"In the end, I didn't see a single grain of rice. Not even rice, let alone cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, or anything else."
"It's really strange, what do these twenty-odd people live on normally if they have nothing"
Fang Jinshi listened and secretly raised an eyebrow.
Just then, she went to find clothes for the girls and stopped by the kitchen in the backyard.
Fortunately, her space is much larger now, or else she wouldn't have room for so many good things!
"Yeah, maybe you just came a step late." She shrugged, right as Zongyu had already parked the car.
"Zong Bai, come sit with me in the front." Zong Yu pulled his younger brother over.
The sun has already set, and even if they hurry home now, it's likely to be dark before they arrive.
Dr. Qin sat in the car, completely stunned. To discover his wife's betrayal was a heavy blow. On top of that, their daughter had been violated, though thankfully, she survived.
Zong Bai couldn't bear to see the dean like this, so he went to Fang Jinxiu.
"Sister-in-law, would you mind asking those girls if they've seen my mistress"
"Her last name is Huang, she's about the same height as you, and she has a mole on her chin. You should be able to recognize her easily."
Fang Jinshi nodded, turned around and described Huang's features to several girls.
"Have you seen this aunt"
A girl whispered, “I, I’ve seen it.”
"Do you know where she was taken" Fang Jinxiu asked urgently.
The girl's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head, saying, "Dead."
Upon hearing this, Dean Qin hopelessly closed his eyes. In truth, he had already anticipated this outcome. His wife was nowhere to be found, and these bandits only had this one stronghold.
None of the passengers spoke, tacitly understanding each other. After a while, Dean Qin broke the silence and spoke first.
"Miss, thank you."
Let him know his wife's final message.
"I have one last question. Do you know where they disposed of the body"
The girl shook her head. "I don't know about that. These beasts probably wouldn't even help bury the body, they'd just toss it somewhere nearby."
The mayor's house was surrounded by a particularly large pit filled with garbage, probably used by the bandits to discard refuse. Huang’s body was very likely inside.
Dr. Qin knew he couldn't burden others anymore. He struggled to get out of the carriage, "Zongbei, thank you for coming to rescue me."
"But I can't just leave my old wife behind."
"As long as you can take my daughter back and let her live with these girls, I'm an old man, I've lived enough already."
"You don't have to worry about me anymore, just go."
Zong Bai hurriedly grabbed hold of Dean Qin.
"Teacher, what are you doing Since your wife has already left, even for Qianqian, you have to live well. Otherwise, when she wakes up and finds that she has lost both her mother and father, she won't be able to bear it."
Fang Jinshu frowned, "Dean Qin, are you going back to retrieve your old wife's body"
Qin Chongyan nodded. How could he allow the person who had accompanied him for a lifetime to be buried with filth even in death
He already felt so sorry for her. If he couldn't retrieve her body, he would lie down and die with her.ee Zong Bai and his eldest son, Zong Yu, appear together. He had always thought his eldest son, Zong Yu, was dead.Fang Jinshi claimed to the outside world that she was a widow, and during this time, s...
