Chapter 94 Inquiring about the Yuan family's affairs with his second brother.
Han Yan'er was dressed in men's clothing, with her hair in a high ponytail, looking dashing and heroic.
Zhou Feng tightened the reins, startled by her sudden appearance. "Miss Han, what brings you here?"
Han Yan'er sat down next to him and said, "I originally wanted to buy incense from your shop, but I happened to run into the Yuan family who sent people to kill you, so I followed them all the way here."
Zhou Feng quickly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Miss Han."
As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to return to the capital.
Han Yan'er quickly called out to him, "Manager Zhou, what are you doing?"
Zhou Feng said seriously, "I'll take you back now."
Han Yan'er took the reins from his hand and smiled, "No need to go back, I'll go to Qingzhou Prefecture with you."
Zhou Feng frowned slightly. "You're coming with me to Qingzhou Prefecture?"
Han Yan'er looked up ahead and said, "That's right. Anyway, Qingzhou Prefecture is not far ahead. I'm just going to visit Prefect Zheng's Second Miss."
When Zhou Feng saw that she was going to Prefect Zheng's house, he gradually relaxed, turned the carriage around again, and continued heading towards Qingzhou Prefecture.
When the sun came out, the two entered the city.
Zhou Feng dropped Han Yan'er off at Prefect Zheng's door and then hurried back to Cheng'an County.
Zhou Feng returned just in time for the opening of the Zhou family's new incense shop.
Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan, along with Liu's wife, greeted the guests at the door.
Zhou Feng was just passing by when Du Wanchun saw him from afar and quickly waved and called out, "Second Brother!"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Feng immediately looked towards her.
Du Wanchun took two steps forward and called out to him, "This way!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Feng hurriedly drove his carriage to the shop entrance.
He looked around the shop again and again. "Sister-in-law, is this our family's new shop?"
Seeing that he looked travel-worn, Du Wanchun greeted him as he entered the house, saying with a smile, "Yes, Second Brother, you've come back just in time. Come on, let's take a look at our new shop."
The new shop was twice the size of the old one, and Zhou Feng was overjoyed. He even forgot to accept the tea that Liu's wife was bringing him.
Zhou Ruiyuan coughed softly beside him, "Second brother, have some tea first. You must be tired after traveling all night."
Zhou Feng took the tea and continued looking into the shop.
The shop was full of ready-made incense. He picked out some, smelled them, and said with a smile, "Mother has made new incense. I'll take more back with me when I return to the capital."
Du Wanchun brought out some pastries from the inner room. "Mother and I made a lot of incense, enough for you to take to the capital. But second brother, we can't keep letting you run around like this. We need to transfer the money first and then find a security escort agency to deliver it. Otherwise, it's easy for something to happen on the road."
As she finished speaking, her gaze fell on the carriage.
There was still blood on the carriage that hadn't been wiped dry.
Zhou Ruiyuan also saw it, and the two quickly led Zhou Feng into the inner room, leaving Liu's wife to busy herself outside.
"Second brother, what's the blood on your carriage?" Zhou Ruiyuan asked Zhou Feng directly.
Zhou Feng didn't hold back and told Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun everything about the assassination attempt on the road. He also shared his guess: "I guess it was the Yuan family. They rely on being the nephew of Consort Wu to act like kings in the capital, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Basically, no one dares to open an incense shop in the capital except them."
Du Wanchun asked with a puzzled look, "The Yuan family? I don't think I've ever heard of them."
Zhou Feng quickly said, "The Yuan family used to learn incense making from my maternal grandmother. Later, they used our family's recipe to open an incense shop in the capital and became an instant success. Later, when Consort Wu came to power, they used this connection to monopolize the entire incense business in the capital."
Du Wanchun suddenly realized, slowly sat down, her gaze becoming somber, thinking to herself, "This kind of family really shouldn't have such overwhelming wealth."
Just as she finished thinking, a cold wind suddenly swept in from outside, making the windows rattle.
Zhou Ruiyuan turned to the side and closed the window, then said to Zhou Feng in a serious tone, "The Yuan family is so lawless, next time you encounter them, don't hold back."
Zhou Feng nodded in agreement, "Of course. Next time, even if their patriarch comes, I will cut off his head directly."
If you're not ruthless, they'll only become more ruthless. The mother and her three children understood this principle three years ago.
Du Wanchun thought for a moment, then looked towards the shop in the outer room. "Second brother, since the Yuan family uses your maternal grandmother's recipe, will their incense be somewhat similar to our Zhou family's incense?"
