sure I can do it. Don't hesitate to ask, I'm not afraid of hard work."When they reached the kitchen doorway, Fang Jinshu and Zong Yu exchanged glances. This guy was truly a pain in the neck.Fāng Jǐnx...Chapter 1056: Seize the Opportunity to Make Demands

Three people looked at Alan simultaneously, their gazes unanimous.

Aran, however, only noticed Zong Yu's gaze. When the Marquis looked at her, she blushed and quickly averted her eyes, revealing the shy demeanor of a young girl.

Zongyu only glanced at her briefly before looking away, not lingering on Alar for a moment.

As if only realizing that there was a stranger in the house when she opened her mouth to speak, she unconsciously cast a glance.

Zhao Yun glared at his cousin with some embarrassment.

"General Xiao Zhao, this young lady has been here for quite some time. Haven't you introduced her to us yet"

Fang Jinshi gave Zhao Yun a step, Zhao Yun felt deeply grateful and was about to introduce himself, but Arlan spoke first.

"Little girl Arlan, I have met the Lord Marquis, and I have met Madam."

"Zhuge Yun is my little daughter's cousin."

Arlan greeted the two of them politely, but her gaze was fixed solely on Zongyu. Their elaborate introductions were merely a formality; she wasn't even acknowledged in his eyes.

It's interesting, this Miss Zhao from the Zhao family seems to have quite a high opinion of herself.

"So it's Arlan, your cousin."

"Guests are always welcome, I hope my cousin Alin can have a pleasant time at the villa."

General Xiao Zhao is already very familiar with the manor. He will take you around later, led by your cousin.

Zhao Yun hurriedly nodded.

"Okay, okay, I'll just take her for a walk."

Arlan refused, letting her cousin lead her around aimlessly. How could she possibly get near the Marquis then Let alone have him notice her.

"Since madam says Arlan is a guest, how can she allow her cousin to lead me around like this This perfunctory treatment, could this be madam's way of welcoming guests"

Fang Jinxiu was a little surprised, this girl was quite sharp-tongued.

She raised an eyebrow without a flicker, "And what does Miss Arlan think"

If you're not afraid of meeting people, I can let you pick someone from the mountain villas to keep you company.

Zhao Yun was beside himself with worry. Privately, he'd almost ripped the corner of Arashi's clothes to shreds. Before they came, she had promised him she would behave and not speak out of turn, hadn't she

What's going on now How dare she make demands of her sister-in-law.

Sure.

"As the wife of a Marquis, your words carry considerable weight."

"That's natural," Fang Jinshi smiled.

Upon hearing her affirmative response, Arlan's eyes became shy again and she slowly moved towards Zongyu's face, eventually clinging to it.

"Well, little girl thinks, wants the Marquis to accompany me as I stroll through all corners of this manor."

"As the master of the manor, the Lord is most familiar with everything inside."

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu's smile almost couldn't be contained.

Zhao Yun was taken aback. His cousin was too bold, wasn't she She went straight to the point as soon as she arrived.

But looking at sister-in-law's expression, she doesn't seem angry

As for others, I can make the decisions, but Ah Yu... I can't call the shots for him.

宗yu zhi zhi duan dao, "mei shijian." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Ari's face showed disappointment, while Fang Jinshi's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness as she feigned surprise.

"But you said this morning that you had all day and could do anything with me."

zongyu smiled.

"Well, I'll accompany you. Stop kidding around."

Fang Jinshi laughed and said, "Who's making a fuss"

"The little girl specifically asked for you to accompany her."

Zong Yu, ignoring everyone else, pulled Fang Jinxiu into his arms and held her waist possessively. He said domineeringly.

"Except for you, no one accompanies me."

Arlan's lips trembled with anger, about to bite through them. Fang Jinshu hugged Zong Yu's neck and gently pecked his lips as a reward for his decent answer.

Zhao Yun had seen scenes of couples showing affection several times, but he had never seen anyone as bold as this. The young man was so pure and innocent, blushing from ear to cheek after kissing his partner. They both turned away shyly.

Sometimes he was quite envious of Brother Yu, not envious that he had found such an amazing woman as his wife, but envious of their relationship.

"Alin, stop teasing."

He had said long ago that Brother Yu wouldn't look at other women.

Their eyes were locked, oblivious to the world around them. The air between them crackled with unspoken intimacy.

Zhuge Yun pulled Arlan out from inside, Arlan's face full of unwillingness, she shook off Zhuge Yun's hand.

"Cousin, let me go! Why are you pulling me out I haven't even finished touring the estate with Lord Hou."

Zhao Yun was speechless.

"Are you going to stroll around the manor with the Marquis"

"Arlan, do you remember what you promised me before we came here"

"Besides, the Marquis doesn't look at you, don't you feel it Let's just not try to get close and humiliate ourselves, okay"

Arlan's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "I didn't seek humiliation!"

"Brother, didn't you just see The Marquis looked at me, he must have feelings for me."

"It's just that I was embarrassed to say it with Madam Hou present."

"Yes, that must be it."

"Huh Zhao Yun was about to collapse, who gave his cousin such confidence."

Don't get any ideas, come home with me now. Hurry and go back to your aunt earlier.

Arlan dodged Zhao Yun's hand.

"No, I won't go."

"If you don't leave, what do you want to do"

"Big brother, please stay with me, okay Help me, let me stay at the manor, stay by the Marquis' side. I believe that one day, the Marquis will definitely take me in as his wife, even... maybe he will marry me to be his mistress."

Zhao Yun had nothing more to say. Perhaps his cousin wasn't ambitious, but rather, she might have mental issues.

“I can't help you stay, even if I could, I wouldn't.”

"Alan, are you leaving or not If you don't leave soon, I won't worry about you anymore. When the people in the mountain lodge kick you out, it'll be embarrassing for you."

Zhuge Yun naturally wouldn't really leave her unattended, but just wanted to scare her.

Unexpectedly, Arlan wasn't afraid at all. She turned around and was about to walk back, even intending to find Zongyu.

Zhao Yun saw this and quickly pulled the person back, grabbing their collar and taking them away.

Inside, Fang Jinshi calmly stared at her own man, pretending to be angry.

"Not bad, I prepared a visiting gift for you to visit Zhao's house and check on the patient. You even visited your cousin and came back."

宗yu raised his hand and swore to the heavens, "I did not do it. I don't know anything about it. I am innocent."

Fang Jinxiu sneered.

"Where are you innocent"

"This face, back in the village it used to scare the girls quite well."

"Now that you've become a marquis, you're not so scary anymore. The young ladies are all flocking to you."

First, there was the Northern Border Princess, then Zhao's cousin. It seems like there will be many more such things to come.

Zong Yu frowned, not hearing a hint of humor in Fang Jinxiu's words. He drew his dagger seriously, startling her.

"You, you take out the dagger for what"

"The scars on my face are nothing to be afraid of, I can draw a few more."

Zong Yu's expression didn't look like he was joking. Fang Jinxiu helplessly pulled down his hand and snatched the dagger.

"Dummy, I was joking with you."

"You dare to try cutting me"

"So you're not really angry, are you" Zong Yu followed up smoothly.

Fang Jinxiu helplessly nodded. “Although I’m not really angry, seeing other young girls looking at you like that, my heart is still a little jealous.”

Zongyu hugged the person and kissed them, "Don't be jealous, I only want you."

"Are you afraid I'll get angry"

Zong Yu nodded in agreement.

Fang Jinxiu suddenly let out a sly smile, hooking her arm around her husband's neck and casually throwing out a condition.

"Then take me to the city defense camp to see my son."

Before Zhao Yun arrived, she was speechless when she learned that Yuanbao had been thrown into the military camp by Zongyu. She argued with him about it for half a day, but he wouldn't let go. ease before looking at Fang Jinshi. She hardly did anything, spending her days either tinkering with herbs or taking her maids out for strolls.She would frequently go to the village head Wang's house...
