Xiao Yizhi's running away from home caused such a big commotion that Zhen Wanwan didn't sleep all night.
Zhen Wanwan originally kept Xiao Yizhi with her, firstly to complete the mission, and secondly because she was worried about him running around.
Although Xiao Yizhi will become the male protagonist of the novel later, he is still just a child now.
Just as Zhen Wanwan had finished putting the twins and Yuan Huizhou to sleep, Zhu Yuan returned.
"My husband! How is it?"
Zhu Yuan lowered his head, looking very upset.
The light in Zhen Wanwan's eyes instantly went out, and she was also somewhat annoyed.
"That little brat! Once I catch him, I'll teach him a lesson."
Sensing that Zhu Yuan's attitude was off, Zhen Wanwan asked in confusion, "Husband! You should know why Xiao Yizhi left without saying goodbye!"
Zhu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. He could pretend not to know when his wife didn't ask.
Now that Zhen Wanwan has asked directly, even if he wanted to hide it, he has nowhere to hide.
"Madam, I..."
Zhu Yuan stammered and didn't say a word for a long time. Zhen Wanwan knew that he had something he couldn't say in person.
She waved the rest of the people away and sat down in a chair with Zhu Yuan.
Zhen Wanwan rested her chin on her hand, leaned close to his mouth, and whispered, "Husband! You can tell me now!"
Zhu Yuan was taken aback, then the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, and his worried mood dissipated considerably.
He affectionately ruffled her hair, without pushing her away, and told her what had happened while they were in that position.
"I received news from the capital a couple of days ago that General Xiao is critically ill. The imperial physician has concluded that he probably won't live more than a few days."
"What!"
Zhen Wanwan looked at Zhu Yuan in shock, her head buzzing.
For some reason, she recalled the scene when she first met General Xiao. At that time, she thought she had traveled back to the Water Margin and met the burly Zhang Fei.
She simply couldn't believe that such a person could be so terminally ill.
No wonder Xiao Yizhi, who was unwilling to return to Kyoto, left without saying goodbye without their knowledge.
My father is about to die, how could I, as his son, not be worried!
To be honest, Zhen Wanwan was very saddened to hear this news.
When she first transmigrated, it was during the early stages of the famine and the urgent period of the Yang King's rebellion.
At that time, they were in Xinyang Prefecture, living in constant fear, afraid of encountering rebels on the way.
General Xiao descended from the sky like a hero, calmly and steadily easing their anxious hearts.
It is thanks to General Xiao's valiant defense that they now enjoy a peaceful life.
If Zhen Wanwan were to stand by and watch him die without making any effort, she fears that this guilt would haunt her for the rest of her life.
Moreover, she had promised Master Guiyi that she would give this country a stable future.
General Xiao was not only highly skilled in martial arts and strategy, but also the backbone of the army.
With him around, the country has gained a pillar of strength, and he also serves as a deterrent to the enemy.
Zhen Wanwan thought silently for a long time, then suddenly remembered that she had a medicine that could cure all diseases. This thing was said to be able to cure any disease.
She didn't know General Xiao's illness yet, but every illness is an illness, and it will eventually have some effect.
Realizing this, Zhen Wanwan hurriedly grabbed Zhu Yuan's hand and asked, "Husband! Do you trust me?"
Zhu Yuan's eyes gleamed slightly, and he nodded firmly.
No matter how incomprehensible Zhen Wanwan's actions were, Zhu Yuan always found a reason in them.
"What does my wife want me to do as her husband?"
Although the two have only been married for a little over a month, they have already developed a tacit understanding.
With just one sentence, he knew that Zhen Wanwan had other ideas about this matter.
Zhen Wanwan beckoned to Zhu Yuan and whispered in his ear.
After a long pause, Zhu Yuan looked surprised and hesitated before asking, "Is this... alright?"
Despite the question, Zhuyuan has already decided to arrange for people to carry out the plan.
Whether it works or not, since the lady wants to give it a try, then let her give it a try.
After all, if this matter succeeds, it will be entirely beneficial to him.
There was no need for tomorrow; Zhen Wanwan and her husband talked for half the night, reorganizing their plans even more meticulously.
While Zhen Wanwan was washing up, Zhu Yuan left the room to find a secret guard to handle the matter.
She stayed up too late that night, and the next day Zhen slept until noon.
Zhu Yuan has his own biological clock; no matter how late he sleeps, he gets up to go to work on time.
Zhen Wanwan knew that Zhu Yuan was reliable, so she sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed her hair with peace of mind.
The facial features of the person are clearly visible in the picture, and even the pores on Zhen Wanwan's face are clearly visible.
She replaced the bronze mirror with a regular mirror, making it much easier for her to do her hair and makeup.
She had just put the mirror on the shelves in the department store in the capital city, and it sold out in less than half a day.
Many of the ladies who arrived late clung to the housekeeper on the third floor, refusing to let go.
It was only when Manager Zhang came to report to her that she learned that the mirror had once again become a best-selling item in their department store.
Aside from breaking, the shelf life of a mirror can be extended indefinitely.
If Zhen Wanwan wants to maintain foot traffic at the department store, she will inevitably have to resort to some marketing tactics.
She had Manager Zhang promote the mirror, praising it to the skies, attracting the curiosity of countless people.
They also used scarcity marketing tactics, limiting each person to one mirror, and if you were quick, you'd miss out.
After this series of actions, the mirror became the apple of the eye of young ladies and wives.
It was considered backward to not have a mirror in the home, and would be ridiculed by ladies who did.
Therefore, many housewives, upon hearing the news, immediately placed orders for their daughters.
With the creation of a small hit product, Zhen Wanwan made another fortune.
Zhen Wanwan also followed this trend and put the product on the shelves of the department store in Guangling County.
The only difference between the prefectural city and the county town meant that the county town would not sell as well as the prefectural city.
Those with good connections in the prefectural city had already found out that the department store in Guangling County and the department store in the prefectural city were the same company.
Many families who couldn't buy a mirror and were unwilling to wait simply ordered their servants to go and buy one.
Zhen Wanwan was very happy that the department store's business was getting better and better, but she was in a bad mood.
Two days and two nights, I don't know how Xiao Yizhi got through it.
She went to his room to check, and apart from his sword and a change of clothes, he didn't take anything else.
He didn't bring a single penny with him; how did he manage to get through these two days?
Thinking of this, Zhen Wanwan began to feel anxious again, her gaze frequently drifting to the doorway.
Seeing this, Tianbao pouted, clearly unhappy that Zhenwanwan's attention was being diverted by others.
Especially since that person was her former fiancé from her previous life.
In Tianbao's heart, the fact that Xiao Yizhi was sensible enough to leave made the air feel fresher.
She absolutely loathed him!
Xiao Yizhi, who was mixed in with the traveling merchants, was unaware of all this.
He thought about it for a long time. If he went to Kyoto alone, his ability to protect himself would definitely become very poor.
Xiao Yizhi thought about it for a long time and observed for a long time before finally choosing this bodyguard.
The other party is kind-hearted, compassionate, and able to understand his thoughts.
