"However, we do need to stock up on more goods. Here's what we'll do: write a letter to Songjiang Prefecture and ask them to send more goods this year, especially cotton. They should take as much as they can."
Gu An'an has made a lot of money in the past two years, so spending this money is just a drop in the ocean.
Man Niang quickly agreed to handle the matter, while Gu An'an sat there alone, her expression no longer as calm and composed as before.
Fu Lingshu isn't stupid. Why would she come to Anzhou Prefecture knowing she wouldn't go?
And they actually ended up staying at the inn.
She went to great lengths to marry Lin Zixing, and now instead of keeping a close watch on him in the capital, she's hiding in Anzhou Prefecture—is she trying to enjoy a life of leisure?

"Mrs. Fu, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk!" Fu Lingshu wished she were drunk, but she wasn't. She was perfectly sober, more sober than ever before, and in more pain than ever before.
"Why do people have to wait until they make a mistake to regret it? If I had known this would happen, I would never have married him, I swear."
Fu Lingshu suddenly shed a tear, "But it's too late now, Gu An'an, I regret it. Tell me, is there anything I can do? I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life."
