The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
Chapter 291: You Scared Her

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: You Scared Her

Jin Zijin’s words were indeed a reminder for him. Yes, Tianzong and Xuanzong had developed deep-seated enmity many years earlier, and this feud had been passed down for generations, as deep as the sea. Yet, in the last two generations, with the disappearance of the Youying Pearl, and both sects’ members searching for it for many years, their relationship had somewhat eased. They were almost forgetting the deep-seated enmity that once existed between their sects.

Gu Youyou only looked at Jin Zijin with a meaningful but unclear expression, attempting to discern from his face what was true and what was false.

Even though neither option was desirable, Gu Youyou would still choose Jin Zijin, for if she fell into Xuanzong’s hands, she would suffer an even worse fate.

With this in mind, she leaned her head into Jin Zijin’s chest on her own, shivering with fear. Her voice was as pleasant as the calling of a colorful bird, saying, "Husband, I don’t like this strange person."

Jin Zijin was slightly surprised, knowing she was up to mischief again, but still felt an inexplicable softness in his heart.

To play along with her, he looked at the strange person with an even more profound gaze, and anger that he couldn’t fully conceal displayed on his face.

"You’ve frightened her."

The warning was even more apparent. Zhuo Qing knew that if he continued to be insensitive, Jin Zijin might not be so amiable.

Staring intensely at their apparent marital closeness, he said angrily, "It seems that Zhuo Qing is too weak and insignificant to handle this task."

With those words, he flung his sleeves and strode out of the courtyard.

Jin Zijin furrowed his brows. Did this mean that someone capable of handling this task was going to come after all?

Hmph, he would stay right here and see who from Xuanzong would dare to brazenly use his wife as a medicine person.

While it was true that standing in the light, he had every right on his side, and they couldn’t openly snatch her from him, but in the dark...

It seemed he would have to tell Yue Rujing to be more vigilant and to add more guards.

Gu Youyou felt the man walking away and pushed off his hand, straightening her posture.

Judging by the time, it was just about right; the medicine she prepared for her grandfather was ready.

She took the jar for the medicine, transferred the prepared decoction into it, and wrapped it up in a coarse cloth.

This time, she didn’t ask anything. One reason was that she felt there was nothing to ask.

The second was that if Jin Zijin wanted to say something, he naturally would, and if he didn’t, asking was useless.

In any case, she had come to understand a principle.

The people of Xuanzong were formidable, but neither Jin Zijin nor Yue Rujing were pushovers.

She was important to Xuanzong, just as she was important to Jin Zijin.

Of course, she was self-aware. This importance had nothing to do with any wife. She still remembered the saying: before the Youying Pearl was found, she was the Youying Pearl.

The Youying Pearl, ah, it’s the Dao Family’s ultimate treasure.

That thing should be in the hands of Jin Ziyuan.

No wonder he was hiding in the mountains, possessing the Dao Family’s treasure, he deserved to be pursued and killed.

No matter how precious these things are, they are but external objects. If it were her, she would have turned them in honestly a long time ago. Can any treasure be more valuable than life?

Wait, something’s not right!

Gu Youyou suddenly thought of something.

It wouldn’t make sense if the thing was with Jin Ziyuan. Didn’t they just say that the Youying Pearl had been missing for many years and that both sects of the Dao Family had been searching for it? Jin Ziyuan was a medicine person just like her, and it must have been Xuanzong’s doing. If the object was with him, and Jin Zijin knew about it, how could the people of Xuanzong be unaware?

His hiding in the mountains wasn’t his own intention, but because he was being raised in that special environment to cultivate Yin energy.

Just like the special dark room of the Gu Family.

"Zijin, are you certain that the Youying Pearl is in the hands of Jin... that person?"

Jin Zijin seemed to be pondering something and didn’t hear her clearly at first.

"What?" he asked.
