ow, I'm like a transparent ghost at home. If it weren't for my mother-in-law who still needs me to take care of everything inside and outside the house, I might even be kicked out by them.""Do you thi...Chapter 1095 It turns out they lived a good life in the countryside.

Zong Yulian always listened to Fang Jinshi, and when she heard that her sister-in-law had a way to discipline their grandmother and uncle, she obediently put away her anger and stood beside Mu Shi.

Fang Jinxiu walked slowly to Wu Lao Tai's side, looking down at her condescendingly. Although a smile was on her lips, her eyes were cold as the frost in winter.

"Grandma, after all these years, you still think one trick can win against everything"

Back then, when her brother was dividing the family property, she had thought about severing ties with the Zong family. Dividing the property alone couldn't shake off these relatives, but many things got in the way later on.

The elder patriarch also died unexpectedly after Zong Pingkang was imprisoned.

At that time, she thought that with the head of the Zong family gone, and Old Lady Wu becoming increasingly erratic, only the honest Third House remained, so nothing major would happen.

Unexpectedly, Zong Lao San also started causing trouble at the back, instigated by Hu Ai Lan to turn against them.

Fang Jinxiu kept this in mind. Zong Pingkang was only imprisoned, and he would eventually be released someday. He continued to blame the Zong family for his father's death.

So she looked for a clear day and went to Village Head Zhao's house to ask him to help make a copy of the ancestral document that had been used when her family split up.

The people of the old ancestral home probably thought that when the second branch was driven out, Mrs. Mu was seriously ill and Zong Yu was still young, so they wouldn't have kept something like this.

Fang Jinshiu only learned later that the village head would keep a copy of this deed at the government office, which gave her a chance to leave evidence.

In Old Mrs. Wu's bewildered gaze, she reached into her sleeve and took out the copied document of the severance agreement from the spatial compartment.

"Grandma, do you know what this is"

Naturally, Old Madam Wu didn't know this, but she felt that Fang Jinshi's smile was off. At a glance, she could tell the things in her hands were nothing good and would definitely be detrimental to herself.

So she quickly got up, wanting to snatch the contract from her while she wasn't paying attention.

No matter what, as long as we destroy it quickly, there's no way she can do anything about it.

How could Fang Jinshu allow her to get so close Wu Laotai, with her old bones and limbs, even if she had been lucky enough to be nourished by the spring water for a few years in the village, it's hard to believe her spirit would have recovered this well.

Even before she made a move, Fang Jinshu had already stepped back. Wu Laotai flew past her and directly tumbled down the stairs.

She cried out in pain and immediately burst into tears, habitually splashing dirty water on Fang Jinshu's head as soon as she got hurt.

"Goodness me! Everyone, come and see, this unfilial daughter-in-law has beaten the elders!"

Fang Jinshi didn't care at all, even standing in place watching Lao Tai Wu cry and perform.

The expressions on the people's faces were quite subtle.

"Does this old woman take us for fools"

"Just now, it was she who proactively went to grab the things from the Madam of Hou's Mansion. She accidentally rolled down the stairs herself, how did it become that someone else hit her"

"I saw it too, It was her who rolled down by herself."

"It seems like we can't trust everything this old woman says. The way she speaks so casually, she probably did this kind of thing a lot in the past."

The people of Beijing are not like those in the countryside who have never been to school and seen the world. There are many intelligent people among them, they just don't speak easily.

Just now, Old Madam Wu's antics completely shattered her carefully constructed persona and lost the little sympathy she had painstakingly accumulated in the hearts of the people.

Zongping saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly went down to help his mother up.

"Mother, you are getting old and senile. You tripped and fell yourself."

"Stop shouting."

As soon as the eldest son spoke, Lady Wu immediately stopped her wailing.

Fang Jinxiu folded her arms and watched the scene with a composed expression. She didn't speak until she saw that Old Lady Wu had stopped crying.

"Finished crying"

"May I open this"

Zongping Kang gritted his teeth. He had a feeling that Fang Jinshu was holding something bad in her hand, but just now his mother had tried to grab it once. This little shrew was too alert and, with her relentless struggle, he couldn't get it away from her.

Moreover, with Zongyu standing beside her, protecting her, the situation was very unfavorable for them.

Fang Jinshi saw that they were not speaking, and slowly opened the contract. Every one of her movements was like slicing with a dull knife, the paper as if it were a document proclaiming their death sentence.

This left Lady Wu and Zongping feeling uneasy, a sense of dread creeping into their hearts.

She unfolded the document completely and randomly pointed to a young scholar-looking man from the crowd.

"Excuse me, sir. To prevent them from saying I'm making things up later, could you please come up and help me out"

The young man blushed instantly, his gaze shyly falling on Fang Jinshi's exceptionally beautiful face.

Today, she moved and specially dressed up. After all, she is now the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, so it would be inappropriate to dress too casually and embarrass her husband, wouldn't it

Unexpectedly, just a simple dress-up made such a big difference. The young man quickly nodded and dashed over. Suddenly, Zong Yu snatched the document from Fang Jinxiu's hand and stepped forward to shield her behind him.

This wasn't out of the ordinary. Fang Jinshi shook her head inwardly. This fellow, after all these years of marriage, still couldn't get over his jealousy...

When facing the Marquis, who was also a man, the young man's face returned to normal.

"The commoner has met the Marquis."

"There's no need for formalities," Zong Yu nodded toward him. "Just read."

The scholar took the document and at a glance understood what it was.

He read it aloud then.

This was written by Zhao, the village head, when the second branch of the family was driven out of the ancestral home. In fact, there are only three pathetic lines on it.

The opening line, a saying from the family splitting up.

The second line mentions that there is only a dilapidated wooden hut on the halfway up the mountain when it comes to details about the family split.

Later, Fang Jinshi married into the Zong family and saw three or four wooden houses built by Zong Yu one by one. This was the original appearance of these wooden houses.

To put it bluntly, even animals would avoid sheltering under it on a rainy day.

It's totally uninhabitable.

The third line is the signature and fingerprint of the person who divided the family, as well as the date.

The scholar was shocked to see the date and blurted out his thoughts without thinking.

"This, this deed of separation is actually from nineteen years ago"

As soon as these words were uttered, the commoners at the gate erupted in an uproar. Zong Pingkang and Mrs. Wu's faces turned ashen. Mrs. Wu lowered her head, muttering incessantly under her breath.

"It's over, everything is over."

Her dream of becoming the mistress shattered completely.

"Master Zong doesn't look to be over thirty years old. To say that this old woman drove his mother and sisters out of the house when he was just a teenager"

"Young Master Zong Er and this young lady were just born at that time, weren't they"

"Tsk tsk, what a heartless person. They kicked out the entire family of four to that dilapidated wooden shack, which even dogs wouldn't live in. This old woman just now was still saying she would raise them."

"Wow, I'm so angry just hearing that, what a shameless old woman!"

Public opinion has completely turned in favor of House Hou. Even without doing anything or saying much, Fang Jinxiu single-handedly reversed the situation.

Mrs. Mu couldn't help but give her daughter-in-law a thumbs up, she learned this gesture from her daughter-in-law herself.

Lying in the corner, Zong Pingchuan's face was a complex mixture of emotions. This was where his wife and children had been, who he had once looked down upon and cruelly abandoned. It turned out their lives in the countryside were so hard.look around. We won't lose anything. If we don't find her there, you can just come back to the inn and keep watching."After days of waiting, Fu Ming's patience had worn thin.He also felt sorry for Fan...
