Su Jiaoniang did not dwell on these past events.

The shop is now open and business is progressing smoothly.

What she needs to do now is find Cai Yi.

He glanced at Lu Wujiu and asked, "When are you going to see Rong Zhen?"

"Want to go? Now?"

“Alright!” Su Jiaoniang nodded.

The two headed towards the address left by Madam Feng.

It was a very old courtyard, with a pear tree planted outside. Although spring had arrived and the apricot blossoms by the river had begun to bloom, the pear blossoms had not yet opened and there were no buds.

He reached out and knocked on the door a few times.

A very handsome young boy walked out.

They saw Su Jiaoniang and Lu Wujiu standing outside.

His eyes flickered, and he ushered the person inside.

Soon, Madam Feng and Rong Zhen entered the reception room.

Rong Zhen's face seemed to be covered with a layer of white powder, and he carried a faint fragrance. He held a flower in his hand, looking alluring, but without a trace of effeminacy.

"Is the Regent treating the Great Zhou like his own backyard, coming here whenever he wants?" he said, his voice pleasant.

Neither rough nor sharp, but slightly deep, like shattered jade!

"Does Lord Rong intend to send me away?" In front of Rong Zhen, Lu Wujiu knew exactly who he was!

He is the Regent, Gu Xizhou.

"How could I dare!" He hadn't done anything on this land, and why would he take action to harm the interests of the Directorate of Ceremonial?

Whoever can't hold back any longer will make their move.

“Why are you talking about serious things? What’s the point of all this witty banter?” Su Jiaoniang and Madam Feng got along very well, chatting and laughing like two half-sisters.

If I hear you not speaking your mind from next door, I won't either.

Whoever loses their temper loses.

Ugh, all this dawdling and dragging on, it's so incredibly boring.

Can't we simplify things and explain it in detail?

Why are they so afraid of falling behind?

"Fine, I'll tell you!" Lu Wujiu said, feigning helplessness towards Su Jiaoniang.

He said, "Cai Yi is in Ganzhou Prefecture. Doesn't Lord Rong want to find him?"

"..." Madam Feng paused for a moment.

He straightened his back and looked at Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen shook his head, his gaze falling on Madam Feng.

He was certain that she no longer had that person in her heart; based on her actions and behavior, she could not be considered a proper person, much less an upright one.

Being dishonest is one thing.

That person showed her absolutely no respect.

but……

There was only one thing he couldn't compare to: he couldn't let her have children.

Although Cai Ke was also here, and he could be considered to have a wife and children and a fulfilling life, he still felt a sense of loss.

Perhaps this is the legendary psychology of caring more about what you can't have.

Once you actually possess it, you might find it incredibly tiresome.

However, the people on the other side weren't much better off.

He can make a woman give birth, but the woman's son and daughter are not his.

Thinking about it this way, her gaze towards Lu Wujiu softened considerably.

"You want me to send my Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs to use my undercover agents to investigate?"

"No, if we find the person, Lord Rong can also take them into custody!" Lu Wujiu said.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Jiaoniang.

Su Jiaoniang nodded.

She felt no sympathy for Cai Yi whatsoever.

If she falls into the hands of the Directorate of Ceremonial, she probably won't fare well. How can a man tolerate another man disrespecting the woman he loves in this way?

...

Rong Zhen gave the order.

Continue talking to Lu Wujiu.

The conversation quickly turned to the war between the two countries.

Logically speaking, neither Qi nor Zhou has a large population or abundant food reserves, so a truce would be the best option. However, no country is willing to do so.

All I wanted to do was keep the enemy out.

...

Su Jiaoniang understood very well that although the two countries were neighbors, they were also enemies.

We must be vigilant; if we are not vigilant, then two countries will surely unite into one.

That's difficult!

The two women chatted back and forth, until Su Jiaoniang and Madam Feng stopped and looked at them intently. Madam Feng always had a faint smile on her face.

She looked at Su Jiaoniang: "Life is good, do you want to have more children?"

"No, two are enough!" Su Jiaoniang shook her head.

I don't know why Madam Feng brought up this topic, but for her, having children is not a necessity.

Moreover, she also has ideals.

She wants to continue being a drug enforcement hero.

There are no women working in public service in this era.

All she can do is be a hero.

In this way, whether it's getting pregnant or having a child, it will inevitably interfere with one's ideals.

"You don't want it anymore?" Madam Feng was shocked.

Rong Zhen, who was speaking on the other end, also looked surprised.

So you're not going to have children?

He stared at Lu Wujiu, feeling even more sorry for him. He himself was unable to have children and would never have any in the future, but the Regent on the other side was different.

...

"Then forget it. Two kids are really a nuisance." They're in the way.

For example, a woman's boudoir is where a Buddha sleeps, but he cannot sleep there.

When Rong Zhen heard Lu Wujiu say this, he admired him even more.

After having dinner at Madam Feng's courtyard that evening, as they were about to leave, Rong Zhen suddenly said, "Let's find out where Cai Yi is staying and go arrest him?"

“Okay!” Lu Wujiu nodded.

Two equally handsome men walked together, standing side by side.

The scene was surprisingly beautiful.
