f them were immediately surrounded by servants from the Zhao family.The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Old Li couldn't stop trembling at the sight."Madam Zong," he wanted to call out to Fang Ji...Zhao Xingzhou, who had been silently following them all along, stepped forward before Fang Jinxiu could speak.

"I'll go back to Luoshui City with you."

Fang Jinshu readily refused, "Our carriage is too small, I'm afraid it can't fit so many people."

Zhao Xingzhou knew that Fang Jinxiu was intentionally rejecting him. Not only did he not back down, but he also wore a nonchalant expression.

"No problem, our carriage will follow behind you. We won't ride with you."

Well, Fang Jinshi had nothing to say.

"It's unsafe to walk alone in the snow, so it's better to go out together for mutual assistance."

The young master of the Wang family actually showed up. He had been hiding at the Su family these past few days, waiting for Zhao Xingzhou to come out.

Seeing that he was fine, I finally let out a breath of relief.

Zhao Xingzhou is now the head of Luoshui Chamber of Commerce, the lifeline of the county's economy. If anything were to happen to him, the businesses of all merchants in the city would be affected.

Including their royal family.

"Young Master Wang How come you're here too."

Wang Dash Shao greeted Fang Jinxiu with a smile.

"Greetings, Lady Zong. It's good to see you again."

"Young Master Zhao makes a good point, anyway we're going that way too. It would be great to walk together."

"There are many people on the road and it's lively, not too boring."

Fang Jinshu became silent, gritting her teeth as she was about to continue refusing verbally when Zong Yu suddenly grasped her hand.

"Sure."

"Come with us."

She raised her head in surprise.

Not only was she surprised, Zhao Xingzhou and Wang Daren also looked astonished. They hadn't expected the person to agree readily to be Zong Yu.

Wang Dashao certainly hadn't forgotten how this fellow's face contorted every time he negotiated with Zong Niece. As long as he said something slightly out of line, the terrifying man would reveal an expression that made it seem like he wanted to kill him.

"Ayu."

In front of everyone, Zong Yu took Fang Jinxiu's hand firmly, revealing a domineering smirk.

"If you encounter highwaymen, you could first throw them out to draw attention."

"My own wife, I will make her happy all the way, no need for others to amuse her."

After she finished speaking, Zong Yu pulled her onto the carriage. Zhao Xingzhou's face was ashen, his eyes fixed on their departing carriage. Outsiders could only tell from his grim expression that he was in a bad mood, but they couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Wang Dashao only felt a chill run through his body, and involuntarily wrapped his robe tighter.

He turned to bid farewell to Su Yusheng, pulled Zhao Xingzhou onto his carriage as well, and caught up with Fang Jinyu and the others.

Su Yusheng looked deeply at the backs of the two carriages as they left, and suddenly called for a young servant in his household.

"Come, prepare the carriage! I will escort Madam Zong and her companions."

It had been a long time since he last saw Zong Yulian. He was a little curious about how she was doing as the female shopkeeper, whether she was qualified to become the future mistress of the Su family.

You have to see it with your own eyes.

Then, a second carriage appeared behind Fang Jinshu and their carriage.

Fu Ming shouted at Shen Li on another road, “Get the carriage ready quickly, or when they are far away, will you know the way to that woman with an iron heart's house”

Shen Li was very helpless, "Master, the Wangye will definitely not agree to you leaving Mùzhōu and getting involved with your clan husband and wife again."

"This prince goes where he pleases. Does he need your permission, Uncle Wang"

"Carriage, speed prepare!"

As Fang Jinxiu's carriage just drove out of the gates of Muyu City, a group of oddly-shaped figures appeared on the city wall.

They parted automatically to make way, and the pale-faced Li Lie emerged from behind them with a start.

His icy gaze fixed on Fang Jinshu's departing carriage, a burning hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Fang, Jin, Xiu."

"You think I'd let you live to leave Mokuzu"

Inside the carriage, Fang Jinshi secretly looked at Zong Yu's face for the eighteenth time.

Unfortunately, this time I was caught red-handed.

Zong Yu simply pulled the person into his arms and hugged them.

"Have something you want to ask me"

Fang Jinxiu had never been so well-behaved, nodding her head.

Just now, Zong Yu's behavior in front of the carriage was too abnormal. He, he actually let Zhao Xingzhou and Wang Dashuai follow their carriage all the way back.

She still thought he wished he could throw Zhao Xingzhou into outer space, as far away from her as possible.ly took a step back, revealing Fang Jinxiu with a gloomy expression behind them.The magistrate's smile stiffened when he saw Fang Jinshu's face."Hmph, why is Lady Zong here This place is dangerous.
