"It is said that my grandmother brought some good things from the capital, which will make the business very good."

Cai Ke said.

Madam Feng reached out and touched Cai Ke's head, then scooped two pieces of pork belly from the hot pot and placed them in the bowl in front of Cai Ke.

"Have some soup to warm your stomach. Take this money. The Cai family is a large and powerful family. If they want to do anything, they have to take care of things. Your mother can't take care of you closely, but you can manage the people below in the future."

Cai Ke stared at the silver in Madam Feng's hand; he didn't really want it.

“Your mother has a cake shop in the county town, don’t you remember? The cake shop is very popular, it’s enough to give your son some pocket money.” Madam Feng patted the little guy’s hand.

Stuff the silver over there.

Cai Ke put it in his purse.

He definitely needs it.

The servants in the mansion were all opportunistic; with his mother gone, he felt as if he had lost an umbrella.

The wind and snow were completely exposed.

"Thank you, Mother," Cai Ke said.

Madam Feng's eyes instantly turned red.

She looked at Cai Ke and said, "If one day you are unhappy or miserable over there, go to your mother. Your mother can't give you a rich life or a fortune, but she can shelter you from the wind and rain."

“Okay!” Cai Ke nodded.

The two ate their hot pot quietly.

Snowflakes then began to fall, and Madam Feng watched Cai Ke leave the hot pot restaurant.

She got up and stepped onto the snow, heading towards the cake shop.

The cake shop's business is as good as ever.

Su Meizi's persimmons have all been sold to the provincial capital, so she can't afford to stagnate when it comes to making cakes. Only by earning more money can she have enough say in the business.

Perhaps one day we can sell them in the capital, where there are many talented people.

Only there can the business be expanded. Madam Feng selected a few people from the shop and began to train them, so that they could become independent as soon as possible.

The Su family.

Su Jiaoniang looked at the black and white dogs playing together in the yard.

Their gazes fell on Zhao Han, who had suddenly appeared.

He asked, "What brings you here today? Do you have any news?"

"It's nothing. The Great Zhou wants to make peace with the Qi Kingdom through a marriage alliance and formally end the war." Zhao Han said, shaking his head. The Great Zhou and the Qi Kingdom had been at an impasse for many years.

Every nation has its sons who die on the battlefield.

It can be said that the enmity is deep-rooted, and that a marriage alliance can resolve the grievances?

This must be a joke!

But the people of Great Zhou were already on their way.

How to handle this matter is up to the prince to decide.

After all, the person chosen for the marriage alliance was the young emperor Changsheng.

As for the person sent by Da Zhou, it was General Huo's own granddaughter.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old general's granddaughter had more authority than the princess born to the emperor.

This matter needs to be resolved properly.

Su Jiaoniang was stunned for a moment. It was a truce. If the war could be stopped, it would be a good thing. The people could recuperate, have children and live a good life, and pay less military supplies.

But at this time?

Is this appropriate?

The Great Zhou Dynasty has not yet reached the point of exhaustion.

The State of Qi also had a new emperor, who was just beginning to show his potential.

The flames of war will inevitably spread again...

"Who is the person being sent for the marriage alliance?" Su Jiaoniang asked.

Zhao Han's face was even more complicated: "General Huo's granddaughter."

"..." Will there be another war in a few years? If there is, will the Huo family members still be sent to the battlefield?

Su Jiaoniang couldn't quite understand Da Zhou's move.

She watched Zhao Han walk towards the study.

Watching Lu Wujiu walk out with a cold face.

"Are you going back to the State of Qi?" Su Jiaoniang asked.

Lu Wujiu paused for a moment: "I'm not going back."

How could he possibly let the woman get rid of him when she wanted to?

General Huo's granddaughter is someone you can marry at will. If you can bring the entire Huo family to Qi, then what wars will there be in the future? The gates of the Great Zhou will be directly open to Qi.

Su Jiaoniang stared at Lu Wujiu, a look of helplessness flashing across her face.

If this person doesn't go back, and there's something going on between Qi and Zhou, she really will become a femme fatale in history books.

Men really are a troublesome species. They are especially immature when they are immature, unable to distinguish the responsibilities and duties on their shoulders.

“Things will be handled very well, you don’t need to worry. Although Changsheng is young, he is already very capable of handling things.” Lu Wujiu finished speaking and walked outside.

Su Jiaoniang turned around and stood in the courtyard. Changsheng was her godson and also the young emperor.

She was under immense pressure at such a young age; who could she blame? Her gaze fell on the man, filled with deep resentment.

"Mother, I'm going to Doctor Liu's house." Fu Tu's voice rang out.

Su Jiaoniang turned around and met Fu Tu's questioning gaze.

Nod slightly.

He watched the child go out and sat alone in the yard.

She asked Ms. Xie, "How can one live a life that fulfills one's wishes?"

"Madam, you're joking. Nothing in this world ever goes exactly as planned. Even if things seem perfectly comfortable to outsiders, there are always problems that your own family can't solve." Every family has its own troubles.

This saying applies to everyone, regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

Su Jiaoniang nodded; it was indeed quite difficult.

With nothing else to do at home, Su Jiaoniang began to casually search for the dark figure she had seen the previous night. However, the courtyard was not large, and she had scanned every corner, but she couldn't find Lu Laosan at all.

Where did they go?

Just as she was pondering this, Madam Feng returned from outside, covered in snow. Upon seeing Su Jiaoniang, she said, "The Cai family must have some way to divert customers from your shop. They are confident; they wouldn't make such a big fuss if they weren't certain."
