would be the type to scold his sister-in-law"He was worried about his sister-in-law."Don't dawdle, come with me and take Old Master Zong back. If we leave him here alone and he bleeds too much and die...Fan Jinshi's new spicy hot pot at the restaurant is very popular. As a new product, it has received a lot of love from customers as soon as it was launched, especially those who like spicy food, they simply love it to their heart's content.

Business is booming again, and the restaurant staff has increased from ten to fifteen people. Now they are still too busy.

Wu Niang was so tired every day that she couldn't even lift her hands, but her smile never faltered.

“If our restaurant could have this good business every day, by the end of the month Young Master would be able to send a large amount of supplies and silver to Beijiang.”

"Gee, it would be nice if our northern frontier had such a prosperous place."

Wu Niang sometimes couldn't help but sigh, today's business was already over, all the dishes from the kitchen were sold out, since the opening, it was almost like this every day.

And all this is thanks to the new owner, she's truly a living golden god!

Wu Niang turned her head to look at the living God of Wealth, only to find that she was somewhat absent-minded.

"Master, what's wrong with you"

Fang Jinshu was pulled back to reality by Wu Niang's voice.

"It's okay, you might just be tired."

Wu Niang glanced out the window, and saw that it was already dark outside. Time was indeed getting late.

"Why don't you skip coming tomorrow and just rest at home I'll handle the business at the tavern, it'll be fine."

Fang Jinshi smiled, but the smile was a little strained.

"No need, the restaurant just opened recently and hasn't gotten into a groove yet."

What distracted her was that Zongyu hadn't been home for two days.

Zhuge Yun came over for a visit, saying that he had official business at the military camp outside the city and might not be back for several days. At first, Fang Jinshi didn't take it to heart.

Being an official was naturally different from before, and she certainly wouldn't expect Zong Yu to stay home every day.

She just didn't know why, but during the two days that Zong Yu was away from home, she always felt uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen.

Her intuition was terrifyingly accurate. This was how she and Zongyu had escaped danger before.

So Fang Jinshu didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Then I'll have two men escort you back. It is getting dark after all."

Fang Jinshui smiled and politely declined.

After a long day's work, everyone is tired. Let them all go back to rest. They will be able to work hard tomorrow only after they have rested well.

"Don't worry about me, you should pack up and go rest quickly."

"With Xiao Yue by my side, nothing will happen."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zong Bai appeared at the entrance of the tavern with Zhao Xingzhou.

"Sister-in-law, we're here to take you home."

Upon seeing someone arrive to collect her, Wu Niang finally felt a little more at ease.

"Be careful on your way home."

Fang Jinshu nodded and, after leaving the restaurant, walked towards the carriage while curiously watching the two of them.

"How did you get here"

Zong Bai pointed to the sky, "It's too late, we really couldn't bear to just leave."

Fang Jinshu noticed that Zong Bai's eyes would glance towards the inside of the restaurant whenever he spoke, as if he was looking for someone.

If it weren't for this action, she would have really believed this person.

Zhao Xingzhou caught Zong Bai off guard and dismantled his platform.

"When the old lady saw that you hadn't returned yet this late, she had just mentioned it, and Second Master volunteered to come pick you up."

Zong Bai blushed deeply, lowering his head in embarrassment and mumbling an explanation.

"I, I am also very worried about my sister-in-law's safety."

Fang Jinxiu turned her head and glanced inside the door, raising an eyebrow.

Could it be that Zong Bai has taken a liking to Wu's mother

If she remembered correctly, Wu Niang was eight years older than Zong Bai. Although she didn't object to sibling relationships, the two of them were one a court official of Dayi and the other a subordinate of the North Frontier princess.

What do you think Grandma would feel if she knew

Last time she tried to set up Xiao Zhao General and Jin Yu, his mother-in-law wasn't very optimistic. Apparently, she cares more about social standing.

She retracted her gaze and turned her head back.

"I'll tentatively believe you, but if your eyes weren't constantly darting inwards, you'd be more convincing."

Fang Jinshu patted Zong Bai's arm and smiled as she got into the carriage.

The child has grown up and is starting to develop romantic feelings.

On the way back, Fang Jinshu didn't ask Zong Bai about what had happened. He had grown up, and this kind of thing should be able to handle it himself. He didn't say anything because he must have his own considerations.

Moreover, Zong Bai's personality is more reliable. Compared to Yu Lian, she feels more at ease and trusts Zong Bai's ability to handle his own problems well.

He said what he had to say.

Fang Jinshi asked another question.

"Zong Bai, do you know what official business your elder brother is carrying out outside the city"

Zong Bai shook his head, a little surprised.

"I don't know about that. My brother is a warrior, and our duties never overlap."

He's not high enough in rank to know about officials of his brother's level, unless his brother tells him privately.

Sister-in-law, why do you ask that

A sister-in-law would never doubt for no reason. Since she asked, she must be worried about something.

"For some reason, I've been feeling uneasy these past two days. I have a bad feeling about something."

"Zong Bai, tomorrow when you see General Xiao Zhao, be sure to ask him to come again."

Zong Bai nodded. As soon as the carriage drove out of the city, Fang Jinshu had the token Zong Yu gave her on her person. Unless something major happened, this token allowed her to leave the city at night, which was quite convenient.

Shortly after leaving the city, Zhao Xingzhou, who was sitting outside the carriage, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Madam, I think someone is following us."

Hearing this, Fang Jinshi and Zong Bai were taken aback at first, then alert.

"Make the carriage go faster, see if we can lose them." Fang Jinshu immediately said.

The coachman was extremely nervous, and with a whip, he urged the horse to run faster. The carriage's speed increased instantly.

The people following behind saw them suddenly speed up and were clearly flustered. They jumped out one after another to block Fang Jinshu and the others' path.

The horse was startled and somewhat out of control. Zhao Xingzhou acted decisively and cut the reins. Zong Bai protected Fang Jinshu from the carriage.

In the pitch-black night, their taillights turned their carriage into a live target. They would be safer hiding in any of the dark bushes than staying on top.

Fang Jinshi looked at Zong Bai with admiration, sighing that this kid was indeed becoming more and more manly.

During her time in the capital, she encountered danger eight or nine times. Sometimes she couldn't understand what she had done to incur such wrath, making these people determined to kill her. They staged assassination attempts three or four times.

A tavern, it wouldn't even try to take her life.

"You guys find a place to hide, I'll handle these people."

Zhao Xingzhou drew his sword and charged forward, engaging in a fierce fight with the several men in black.

Fang Jinxiu and Zong Bai saw everything they did, thanks to the long-term nourishment of the spiritual spring water, their eyesight was much better than others even at night.

But the men in black couldn't find their trace.

I can only wander around like a headless fly and still have to deal with Zhao Xingzhou.

Zong Bai was a little worried, "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao's body has only just recovered. There are so many people on the other side, why don't we go help him"

Fang Jinshi, however, grabbed his arm and shook her head.

He's healed up from his injury already. These people are different from last time, he can handle them.

Fan Jinshu noticed that the skill of this black-clothed man was obviously inferior to the last assassin who had attacked their manor. If it were sent by Yuan Buyu, he wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

If it's not Yuan Buyu, then who sent these peopleped her.It is said that she not only sent food to Changhe's family but also treated his mother's illness, saying that he could get medicine for free at her place in the future.Would such a good person...
