Only at this moment did Peng Yuan truly understand the meaning of a virtuous wife.

It turns out that a truly virtuous wife is not necessarily someone who stays at home all day and manages her own little plot of land.

Someone like Jiang Jiuniang, who usually has a carefree personality and seems to not care about anything, but in fact does everything very well, is also a virtuous wife.

Just like this time, Lu Baichuan was in charge of fighting outside, and was still discussing how to fight the next battle. He didn't think about how to deal with the people in the city at all. When they entered the city, these people had a helpless look on their faces and wished they would get out of Tongcheng as soon as possible.

But in just two days, the winds changed. Not only did they stop resisting them, they even thought of them as living bodhisattvas who saved people from suffering. They were afraid that even if the Eastern Court's soldiers returned now, they would not be willing to help.

Peng Yuan was very fortunate to have met Jiang Jiuniang. She learned a lot from her, not only about medicine and business, but also about her calm and composed attitude in the face of adversity.

Panic is useless; only by calming down and coming up with a solution can you overcome the current difficulties.

"Sister Jiu Niang, you're amazing!"

She quietly gave Jiang Jiuniang a thumbs-up and whispered her praise.

Jiang Jiuniang winked at her and laughed heartily.

Her already striking features shone brightly, and her entire being seemed to be bathed in golden light, making her look like a Bodhisattva descended to earth.

The crowd was too excited to leave, so they watched as others took their money. Once they were sure that everyone who had brought the wool had received their money, their last doubts were dispelled.

I recognized him in his eyes; he truly is a great philanthropist!

Many people didn't believe it at first, but after seeing others receive the money, they rushed back to shear the sheep. However, because they were too hasty and didn't shear well, they were caught during the inspection process and ended up getting a lower price than others.

The soldiers repeated the requirements over and over again so that everyone could remember them and avoid having their pay docked again next time.

There were too many people and the process was complicated, so it took all day to finish.

Peng Yuan was still pregnant, and Jiang Jiuniang didn't dare let her work too hard, so she sent her back to rest early and caught Gou'er to act as a laborer to replace Peng Yuan's work.

He's my own son, so I don't feel any psychological pressure when I order him around.

When she finished her work, Jiang Jiuniang was so tired that she didn't even want to eat. She fell asleep immediately and didn't know how long she slept before being woken up by Lu Baichuan, who had returned after finishing his business.

"Wife, get up and eat something."

It gets dark early now, and even though she slept for so long, it was only late 9 PM when she woke up. Lu Baichuan figured she could recover some energy, so he called her to get up and eat.

Jiang Jiuniang was still half asleep and really didn't want to get up, but she was really hungry. She rolled around on the bed three times before finally getting up.

"You can leave those things to others. Why do you have to watch over things all day? You're exhausted."

Lu Baichuan already knew that she had not only collected wool but also won people's hearts. He was proud of her, but he felt more heartache for her.

My wife really doesn't care about her health at all because of her career.

"How can that be? I have to personally oversee things from the very first day. Only when I, the general's wife, personally appear will the credibility be high, and only then can we gain the trust of the people. Isn't integrity what we value in business? But it's really tiring. In order to maintain the image of me as an exceptionally kind person, I have to keep a very gentle and charming smile. My face is practically frozen from smiling!"

As she spoke, she puffed out her cheeks dramatically, moving her facial muscles.

Lu Baichuan was amused by her reaction and reached out to rub her face. Her face was warm, indicating that she had just slept soundly.

"Alright, get up and eat first, or the food will get cold."

He reached out and helped Jiang Jiuniang off the bed, thoughtfully put her shoes on, and led her to sit down at the table. The two ate and chatted.

“I’ve been busy with things here these past few days and haven’t had time for you and Gou’er. I’ve heard about what happened with the Zhou family. I will deal with their actions.”

They originally had no dealings with the Zhou family and could have lived peacefully without interfering with each other, but since the Zhou family had taken the initiative to come to them, they were not to be trifled with.

Before taking action, Lu Baichuan needed to let his wife know his stance.

Although he was busy, he would ask the people around her to find out the whole story when he got back.

"No way!"

Jiang Jiuniang hurriedly stopped her: "We've already made too many enemies in the court. It's not appropriate to fall out with the Zhou family again. Anyway, I haven't lost anything. Let's see how Zhou Tang reacts. If he's satisfactory, I can let it go. But if he doesn't appreciate it, I'll deal with him personally."

“You are an official appointed by the court, and your actions are restricted. But I am different. They stole my business first, so I am the one in the right. They dare not do anything to me. As long as you don’t show your face, they can’t find any fault with you in court, which will save you a lot of trouble.”

After all that talk, Jiang Jiuniang just didn't want trouble. She really didn't want to cause any more chaos over those trivial matters. It wasn't worth it, really not worth it.

Lu Baichuan knew that she was still thinking of him, so he put a piece of meat on her plate and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, my wife. Eat more so you'll have the energy to deal with those troublesome people and things."

"Hehe, at least you have a conscience, you feed me!"

Jiang Jiuniang deliberately waited for him to feed her, and Lu Baichuan did not refuse. He pulled her into his arms and fed her like a little girl.

In Jiang Jiuniang's opinion, it was really not a big deal; at most, it just added some fun to her boring life.

However, it seems to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, so they are even less bothered by it.

The people made money selling wool and spread the word everywhere. Those who hadn't heard the news rushed to shear their sheep overnight and crowded at the government office early the next morning, waiting for the officials to come out and ask if they would still buy wool that day.

Of course, they had to be taken back. Jiang Jiuniang had already arranged for people to do the work in advance. She had made a name for herself yesterday, so she didn't need to keep watch over him all the time today. She could come out for a stroll occasionally and then go back to lie down.

The wool collected yesterday has been delivered to the Huizhou City Workshop. After a few days of rest, the workshop has started operating again, and things are moving in a positive direction.

On the morning of the seventh day after moving to Tongcheng, Zhou Tang came to visit again.

This time he came with great sincerity, bringing a letter from home.

Jiang Jiuniang was in a good mood these past few days and didn't hold it against him. She generously received him and naturally saw the family letter.

"Is it inappropriate for me to see family letters directly?"

Jiang Jiuniang didn't answer immediately, adopting a cautious demeanor.

Despite the freezing weather, Zhou Tang's forehead began to bead with cold sweat. He said anxiously, "Yes, yes, this is also the wish of the elders in my family. I dare not make decisions on my own."

Hearing his assurance, Jiang Jiuniang reluctantly accepted the book to take a look.
