Wang Huaijing thought to himself, "Is this what I wanted to say?" But he didn't dare to say it.

He could only look at his wife with what he believed to be an innocent expression.

As Zhao Qingyi spoke, she nodded, as if to confirm that her thinking was correct.

"Alright, it's settled then. My husband no longer needs to worry about what will happen after I leave."

I'm going there for two reasons: first, to attend my fourth sister's wedding, and second, to show my filial piety. I haven't served my grandparents properly all these years; I truly feel guilty.

The third reason is to check on our Liu Jin.

Ever since Liu Jin went to the capital, I haven't had a single day without worrying about him.

Fortunately, we received a letter. Liu Jin and the others have all been admitted to the Imperial Academy, so it wasn't in vain that we endured the pain of sending them to the capital to study.

These are all relatives; we need to keep in touch.

Since accompanying my husband to his new post, I haven't had any contact with my relatives back home. I really feel guilty about it.

Especially my third uncle, who actually became a prince consort.

I haven't even personally congratulated them. And Qingyang and Qingyi have also gotten married, and as their elder sister-in-law, I haven't even sent them a gift…”

Zhao Qingyi said a lot, and finally summarized,

“If it weren’t for my husband’s official duties, it would be perfect if I could go to the capital with him.”

"My lord, rest assured, I will return to be with you as soon as possible."

What could Wang Huaijing say? All his struggles and hesitations were swallowed up by his wife's last words.

"My wife said she wanted to come home early. She also said that being with me is what makes life perfect."

Wang Huaijing was overjoyed inside, but her face showed the expression of a resentful woman.

However, Wang Huaijing's clingy act didn't last long before he was called away.

An arson case occurred in what is said to be the jurisdiction.

While tidying his clothes, Wang Huaijing inquired about the details of the case.

Zhao Qingyi watched Wang Huaijing's departing figure and shook her head.

"At his age, he still likes to play childish games. He only gets happy when you say nice things to him. How immature."

Despite her complaints, Zhao Qingyi quickly told the kitchen to prepare a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup for Wang Huaijing, so he could have a bowl when he got back from his work.

The people in the capital were somewhat surprised when they received the news from the Northwest.

"What's wrong with this eldest son? He's so unreliable."

It's one thing for her to go out alone, but she also has to bring her daughter-in-law and daughter along. With a group of women and children, their safety is a major concern along the way.

Mr. Huang was very worried.

Zhao Qingyan handed the flower and fruit tea, which was at about the same temperature, to Huang Shi.

“A few days ago, a message came back from Daya’s side.”

This young lady is truly remarkable. She's already opened no fewer than thirty inns along the main road from the capital to the Northwest.

In particular, the inns were deliberately located in places that seemed more likely to be dangerous.

Business is booming.

Moreover, for the safety of the inn, they recruited many skilled men from various places, as well as some veterans from the battlefield, as helpers.

Her inn not only solved the travel problems for travelers along the way, but also indirectly provided them with safety guarantees.

Zhao Qingyan comforted Huang Shi, but Huang Shi was calculating the costs in her mind.

"The guys who knew martial arts must have been paid quite well, right?"

Does this inn spend all its profits on its employees?

Huang's words almost made Zhao Qingyan spit out the fruit tea she was drinking.

"Grandma, can you please stop being so shrewd? Making money isn't important."

Isn't this considered doing a good deed?

Besides, for a little girl like Daya to do this is already quite remarkable. Grandma, don't you feel very proud?

Your great-granddaughter is wonderful!
