ountaintop""Couldn't the government be footing your bill, could it"Fang Jinshi closed her eyes and spoke nonsense."You guessed right, it's the government that owes me money."Of course, the government'...Zong Yu's whole body trembled, and Fang Jinshu also looked complicated.

How could Gu Feng suddenly say something like that Just as she thought the other party was going to say something else, he suddenly withdrew his gaze.

Zong Yu nodded at him, then took Fang Jinxiu away.

After leaving Baipui Garden, Fu Ming asked, "Are you really going back You've come to Muzhou after all this effort; why not explore it a bit more"

Fang Jinxiu shook her head. "No, didn't we just go a few days ago"

Before the auction, she went on a shopping spree, even buying everything she needed for Chinese New Year at home.

As the year draws to a close, our families are waiting for us to go back. Mr. Fu, you should also go home early and don't worry your family.

Fang Jinshu's words were originally casual and polite, but unexpectedly they struck a nerve with Fu Ming.

His expression suddenly dimmed.

"What, what's wrong"

Fang Jinshu was confused. Had she said something wrong

Fu Ming stubbornly turned his head, his voice suddenly turning colder.

"It's nothing, just go if you want to leave."

Shen Li glanced at her master, hesitated for a moment out of sympathy, but still quickly explained to Jinxiu.

The young master had never spent New Year's with his family.

Shen Li couldn't say too much, lest she expose her master's identity.

The emperor had no sons, and his mother was not favored. During festivals and holidays, she could only visit the empress dowager with the empress's permission.

If it weren't for the intense power struggles among several princes in recent years, and the Emperor bringing her out to balance the power of the top few princes, she would still be living in the cold palace.

Let alone spending the Lunar New Year with family.

In the past, during Chinese New Year, he was only accompanied by himself and a few eunuchs close to his master.

Each prince is born with a personal assassin camp, but these assassins are the guards of their master. They only officially take over when their master is brought out from the cold palace.

Shen Li turned around and hurried to catch up with Fu Ming's footsteps.

Fang Jinxiu froze in place, "I didn't mean to expose Fu Shao's scar."

Oh, poor thing.

"One can live well on their own, Mr. Fu. Take care."

She didn't intend to call out to Fu Ming at all.

Hearing Fang Jinshu's shout, Fu Ming stopped in his tracks, his face contorted with anger.

Damn woman, why won't she play by the rules

Wouldn't a normal woman, hearing such a tragic past, feel sympathy and call out to him, inviting him home to experience the warmth of family

Fang Jinshi didn't really notice Fu Ming's twists and turns. Shen Li turned around, and she almost pulled Zong Yu to turn around and leave.

Fu Ming turned his head and saw that she left so decisively, her face flushed red.

"Hmph, a woman with a heart of stone!"

Shen Li lowered her head silently, not daring to speak.

He did as his master demanded, but the mistress remained unmoved. He was helpless against her.

"Master, mistress was right. Let's just listen to the young master and set off back to Beijing as soon as possible."

Otherwise, Your Majesty will be worried.

Fu Ming let out a cold snort. "Now is not the best time to return to Beijing. The assassins who tried to kill us haven't found my body, they definitely won't leave Xizhou."

Unless these fangs are pulled, I will never be able to get close to the gates of Beijing.

Those people wouldn't let him return to the capital so easily.

Besides, if he couldn't bring Fang Jinshu back, what could he do alone Empress Dowager would still face the end of being tortured by illness to death.

What are your plans then

Fu Ming let out a chuckle, "Follow them."

Shen Li: ...

"Based on my observations over this period, Fang Jinshu seems ruthless, but in reality, she is quite soft-hearted."

"If we really followed her home, she definitely wouldn't ignore us!"

Shen Li stood behind Fu Ming, stealing a very suspicious glance at him.

You're only saying that so your master will want to come home with them, aren't you

Zong's daughter doesn't look like a very soft-hearted person.

Fang Jinshi and Zong Yu hired a carriage. Su Yusheng insisted on sending them back with a carriage, but Fang Jinshi didn't dare accept.

She now wishes she could get as far away from these men around her as possible.

To prevent Ah Yu from getting jealous again.

Then firmly declined Su Yusheng's kindness, only accepting some New Year's gifts.

Before she left, she wrote down numerous recipes and techniques for making dishes and pickles for Su Yusheng. She also re-signed a contract with Su Yusheng, stipulating that for products made using her provided recipes, she would receive 30% of the profits.

That's essentially like getting into a tech stock.

Su Yusheng was thrilled. The sausages that Fang Jinshi had given him before were sold out as soon as they arrived in Muzhou.

Many of Su's relatives were still chasing after him, asking for goods.

Where is Su Yusheng now

This time it's great, with these recipes for making fermented foods, the pickled goods business can be expanded.l for more than an hour, removing quite a few stones during that time. They stuffed all of them into bags.Though Zong Yu's eyesight was keen and he could see everything these people were doing clearly...
