Chapter 620 But Fragile, Yet for the First Time Seen

finished speaking, she eagerly looked towards Fang Jinshu, but didn't forget her previous statement that the child couldn't wait any longer or they wouldn't be able to save them.Actually, Fang Jinshu...The county magistrate's clerk brought Fang Jinshu a pot of tea. The tea set was ready-made, and she directly offered it to Pan Zhi'an after pouring him a cup herself.

"Mr. Pan, you've worked hard. Have some tea, your lips are dry."

It seems Pan Zhian wasn't intentionally avoiding her. He was truly so busy that he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea to wet his throat.

"This." Pan Zhi'an hesitated, not taking it.

Fāng Jǐnxiù understood and smiled.

"Rest assured, this cup is new. This one is the one the common woman drank from."

Pan Zhi'an is a man of self-discipline and propriety. His world is formed by strict rules and precepts, and even the slightest excess would never appear.

Thank you.

Pan Zhi'an took the cup and he was indeed thirsty, drinking two cups in a row. Although it didn't completely quench his thirst, he put the cup down as drinking more would be impolite. He looked at Fang Jinyu.

"I'm truly sorry to have kept Lady Zong waiting for a day. Just tell me what you need, and I'll get it done right away."

"How serious is the situation" Pan Zhi'an instinctively had a bad feeling.

"Well, regarding the border defense, Umon's military personnel."

She only uttered those few words, and Pan Zhi'an immediately changed his expression drastically, springing to his feet.

"You, you're serious"

Fang Jinshi stood up with a serious face, “This concerns the country and our people. How dare a woman like me treat such a serious matter as a joke”

Pan Zhi'an frowned, pacing in place a couple of times, "Come to my study with me. Let's talk."

Fang Jinshi hesitated for a moment, after all, it wasn't appropriate for men and women to be alone together. It wouldn't be right to stay in the same room by themselves.

But then she realized, Pan Zhi'an was even more rigid and bound by rules than she was. Just hearing her mention those few words had thrown him into disarray, causing him to even forget about propriety. This just went to show how serious the matter truly was.

Fang Jinshu only hesitated for a moment before raising her foot and following him.

During the conversation, Pan Zhi'an did not close the study door, he just let the servants retreat to a distance and guard it, not allowing them to approach.

Only when he was certain that no one could hear their conversation did Pan Zhian speak.

"Tell me everything you know, everything you've seen. Be detailed."

For the comfort of her own man, Fang Jinshu naturally wouldn't hide anything.

She told Pan Zhi'an about every detail she had seen on the mountain, meticulously and thoroughly.

"You say your husband is left alone to deal with those Wu Meng people"

A flush of anger instantly appeared on his refined and handsome face. "Behave yourself!"

"If the other party is truly a spy sent by Wumeng Nation to infiltrate my great Xi, how could one person possibly wipe out all of them!"

What's more, you don't even know how many people the other side has sent. What if what you saw that day was only a small part of their forces

Fang Jinshi gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt down to Pan Zhi'an.

Fortunately, Pan Zhian was quick to react and stopped her.

"What are you doing again"

Fang Jinshi was truly at her wit's end. As a modern person, she found the idea of kneeling down and begging people utterly ridiculous. Now, however, like most people who were desperate, she too wanted to kneel and beg the person in front of her.

Help her regain her honor and protect his safety.

All his usual calm and intelligence had vanished.

As soon as she thought of Zong Yu possibly being in danger on the mountain, she would be consumed by a tremendous panic from head to toe, unable to think of any way to cope.

That was a spy sent by the state, all trained elite soldiers.

She couldn't help but worry about her husband's safety.

"Please, think of a way. Zongyu can't be harmed."

The moment Fang Jinshu raised her head, Pan Zhi'an almost froze.

Having interacted with her so many times, he had seen many admirable qualities in her eyes, but fragility was something he saw for the first time. I'll definitely help you."Her villa still needs to be built by Li Muhai.Li Muhai mustered his courage and spoke, "I, I would like to request from Lady Zong that my wife and children be allowed to go...
