Deshengchang and Jiulingtang celebrated the emperor's grace with great enthusiasm for three whole days.

Like all merchants, Deshengchang expressed its joy by holding banquets, giving money to beggars, and performing operas in temples.

Fang Jinxiu decided to distribute medicine in Jiulingtang because the summer heat was at its peak, so she asked Miss Jun to prepare a soup to relieve the heat and dispel the evils.

Miss Jun's medicine was extremely expensive and the whole capital was in an uproar over it. Many people from other places rushed to the city after hearing the news.

This made Miss Jun's deeds in the North more famous.

"That's how Miss Jun distributed porridge in the north."

"So Miss Jun has done so many things in the North?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that."

"How could you not expect that? Miss Jun is a bodhisattva-like person. How could she not care when she sees the suffering of the people in the north?"

"Hey, you're wrong. You can't call me Miss Jun anymore. You have to call me the Lord of Shanyang County."

"County Lord doesn't sound nice, it would be nice to call her Princess or Princess."

"Miss Jun, just win another one. It's not that hard to come by."

The streets were bustling with laughter and chatter, but the Jiuling Hall was quiet as usual, even a little solemn.

"I left that day." Fang Chengyu said, "I rested in the inn yesterday and got some money."

The person he was talking about was naturally Yuan Bao.

Since learning that Yuan Bao stayed in the palace, Deshengchang sent more people to keep an eye on him, so on the night after Fang Chengyu and Miss Jun were conferred titles, they discovered that Yuan Bao had left the capital.

"Giving benefits is naturally for the purpose of taking something away." Miss Jun said, "The imperial edict has been taken away, so what remains is..."

She looked at Fang Chengyu.

Fang Chengyu nodded.

"It's my grandmother's secret," he said, and then he smiled again, "So I told you before I came here that the most dangerous person in our family is not me, but my grandmother."

"How is the manpower at home?" asked Miss Jun.

Fang Chengyu looked at the worry between her brows and nodded with a smile.

"This time we are in the dark and they are in the light. It will not be like before." He said, his eyes bright and excited. "We are just waiting for them to take action."

"I'd better go back with you." Miss Jun said.

Fang Chengyu shook his head hurriedly.

"I can't live without people in the capital." He said, "Since I know my roots are in the capital."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the imperial palace.

"Nine years old, you can't leave."

Miss Jun looked towards the direction of the palace with mixed feelings in her heart. What on earth had this King Qi done?

"I've prepared all the self-defense items for you." She looked at Fang Chengyu, "Have a safe trip."

Fang Chengyu smiled and nodded, stood up, then stopped and hugged Miss Jun.

"I really don't want to leave Jiuling." He sounded aggrieved and reluctant.

Miss Jun smiled.

"How could I leave? I've always been here." She said, patting Fang Chengyu on the back.

The child is taller than her now. Time flies.

It's different after all. For example, it's always there, but you can't hug it like this.

Fang Chengyu didn't say anything, just held on to it.

There was a heavy cough from outside the door.

"The carriages and horses are ready." Zhu Zan said, staring at Fang Chengyu.

Miss Jun smiled and patted Fang Chengyu on the back again.

Fang Chengyu still didn't let go.

"I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave," he said.

How shameless of you to pretend to be a child, Zhu Zan cursed in his heart.

"Then don't leave." Miss Jun said with a smile.

Fang Chengyu then reluctantly let go of her hand.

"Then I really won't leave," he said.

Zhu Zan rolled his eyes.

"Then I will withdraw all my troops," he said.

Of course, the people did not really stay, and the troops would not retreat. When daybreak came, Fang Chengyu's convoy had disappeared from the road.

Miss Jun stood by the window of the high-rise building for a long time without moving.

"Don't worry too much." Zhu Zan's voice said from behind, "Since things are like this, we have to do it anyway."

Miss Jun sighed softly.

"I'm not worried," she said, turning around, "I just think it's not easy."

"Life is not easy," Zhu Zan said, "It's the same for everyone."

Miss Jun tilted her head slightly and thought about it.

"That's right. It's not easy for those who want to harm others to fail again and again," she said.

What are you talking about? Zhu Zan endured it again and again.

"Look at you, you're such a frivolous person." He finally said, unable to bear it any longer.

Miss Jun laughed and walked away with her hands behind her back.

Zhu Zan grinned from behind but quickly held it back and followed unsteadily.

…

When night fell, the lights in Old Lady Fang's yard were turned on, and the maids and servants stood in the yard.

Yuan walked into the room and looked out cautiously.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Fang said inside.

Yuanshi turned around hurriedly, somewhat startled.

"Nothing," she said.

Mrs. Fang glared at her.

"If the security here is also so strict, we would have died early to save others from taking action," she said.

Yuan was embarrassed.

The letter from the capital has been delivered. Fang Chengyu reminded Mrs. Fang that she might be in danger. The murder of her grandfather and father might happen again. The Fang family has been on alert these days.

In fact, the Fang family has been very cautious since they started dealing with Manager Song.

It's really ridiculous that someone can still sneak into Old Lady Fang's yard today.

"I'm just a little nervous," she said.

"Why are you so nervous?" Old Madam Fang came out and shook her head, "They are overthinking."

Mrs. Fang walked forward with a serious expression and supported her.

"Mother, there's no need to overthink this." She whispered, "The Emperor has taken back the imperial edict from our family."

"Chengyu is right. The imperial edict in our hands is indeed too eye-catching. It is either a blessing or a disaster." Old Mrs. Fang said casually.

"Also, they were talking about a eunuch." Mrs. Fang pondered and said.

After all, Miss Jun and Fang Chengyu didn't know what Yuan Bao had done. They only knew that he showed up when Manager Song got into trouble, and he was dressed in disguise, so they could only guess and remind him.

Old Mrs. Fang smiled.

"Don't worry about that," she said.

Ever since they received Chengyu's letter, they have been very nervous, but Mrs. Fang didn't seem to care that much. She seemed thoughtful and absent-minded.

This may be related to the secret that only she knows.

Mrs. Fang sighed inwardly.

I hope that this time Miss Jun and Chengyu are just being paranoid.

The night was long and short, and another day passed. Mrs. Fang watched Fang Yunxiu and her sister report the accounts while calculating where Fang Chengyu had gone.

"Madam, the shopkeeper Gao is here." Yuan came in and said nervously, "He said there is a guest who wants to see the old lady."

Meeting guests at this time?

Is it a friend coming from afar or is he coming with bad intentions?

Old Mrs. Fang hasn't seen any visitors for a long time, let alone now.

"The old lady wants to see you," Yuan said nervously, "and is already preparing to go to the bank."

I actually have to go out.

What kind of important guest is this?

"I'll go and take a look." Mrs. Fang said hurriedly.

Watching Madam Fang and Yuan walk out nervously, Fang Yunxiu also looked at Fang Yuxiu nervously.

"Is there something wrong at home?" she asked.

Fang Yuxiu was flipping through the account book.

"Isn't there always something going on at home?" she said without raising her head.

Fang Yunxiu laughed and shook her head.

Well, that's right, she lowered her head and continued to look at the account book.

…

"Mother, if you have any friends, please come to our house to meet them." Mrs. Fang was sitting in the car, still advising, "It's not safe to have too many people in the bank."

Old Mrs. Fang smiled.

"It's because there are so many people that it's safe," she said. "It's right for him to come to the ticket office to meet me instead of somewhere else."

he.

Mrs. Fang frowned.

"Mother, who is this?" she asked.

Old Mrs. Fang nodded.

"He's a businessman," she said, holding a small jade Pi Xiu in her hands on her knees.

This was just delivered by the businessman who asked the senior manager to deliver it.

She also has this jade carving, which she received from her husband along with the imperial edict.

…

When Mrs. Fang drove to the bank, Fang Chengyu was still on the road.

He declined the hospitality offered by officials along the way and was determined to deliver the calligraphy bestowed by the emperor to his ancestors as soon as possible. This was a reasonable reason and the officials could not stop him.

Fang Chengyu traveled day and night, and at the same time, news from Yangcheng continued to arrive.

Yuan Bao is still hiding and has not appeared in Yangcheng.

The Fang family lived a peaceful life, with no assassinations or murders, not even petty thefts.

But is no news good news?

Fang Chengyu put down the many creeds in his hands.

Am I wrong?

Aren't you going to kill Old Lady Fang to keep the secret a secret?

What else?

Fang Chengyu frowned.

Could it be the secret itself?

…

"Madam, this way." Manager Gao respectfully led the way and pointed to a guest room in Deshengchang.

This is a very ordinary room in Deshengchang. All businessmen who come are entertained here.

Although this businessman was received by Old Lady Fang in person, he did not receive any other special treatment.

"Mother, let me go in with you." Mrs. Fang said again.

Old Madam Fang raised her hand to stop her. Mrs. Fang did not dare to disobey and could only watch Old Madam Fang walk in by herself.

The door was opened and then closed, and the people sitting in the room raised their heads when they heard it.

This was a plump, kind-looking middle-aged man. Like all businessmen, he wore silk clothes and smiled before he spoke.

"Mrs. Fang." He stood up and bowed. "I have long admired you."

Old Mrs. Fang looked at him with a complicated expression.

"We've been doing business for a long time, but this is our first time meeting." She bowed and raised her head hesitantly, "How should I address you?"

It's a strange conversation to be doing business for so long but still not knowing how to address the other party.

The middle-aged man smiled kindly.

"It doesn't matter. I'm just doing the work. It's enough for the old lady to know who our boss is," he said.

Old Mrs. Fang nodded her head and answered yes, then handed the jade carving of Pi Xiu back with both hands.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked. "Do you want me to come here in person?"

The middle-aged man reached out and took it.

"It's like this, the boss doesn't plan to do this business anymore." He said bluntly.

"That's exactly what happened." Old Mrs. Fang nodded without any surprise.

"But don't worry, old lady, you can still run your business as usual." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "We are just taking back the remaining principal."

Mrs. Fang replied yes.

"When do you want it?" she asked, looking up.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly.

"The sooner the better," he said.
