Chapter 222 Destiny is predetermined and moving forward
"I won't pursue this matter." Jiusu said indirectly, "I just came here to see if my godmother is doing well."
The fat woman understood and raised her head flatteringly, "I understand. I was just washing clothes in the yard today and never saw anyone. Don't worry, Master Jiu."
She sat on the small stool where Mrs. Lu had sat before.
He picked up the pestle and hit it a few times symbolically.
Ignoring the woman, the two went to the kitchen.
Jiusu complained, "Godmother, why didn't you tell me? If I hadn't come today, would you have let them bully you?"
Mrs. Lu rubbed her face and felt a little more energetic.
She smiled and said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll worry? I'm not bullying you, I'm just washing some clothes. It's not a big deal. I can't sleep at night anyway."
When he said this, his voice choked.
Jiusu tore off a chicken leg, handed it over, and said, "I'm going to Lingcheng tomorrow to attend the Chamber of Commerce. I came to see you tonight to see how you are doing. If you have any difficulties, go to Jiang Jing and he will help you. As for Chen Zhao, he has his own life. He offended General Bai. There is nothing we can do. However, at most he will be dismissed from his post. He will suffer a little, and he will be back."
Looking at her goddaughter, Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed with meaning and she said proudly.
"You're becoming more and more outstanding. As for Chen Zhao, he didn't fight well. He only wanted to get close to the rich and powerful and abandoned his wife. He deserves to suffer. I'm just doing this to make myself feel better. Oh, Zhao'er was so obedient and good when he was young..."
Looking back on the past, I never expected that Chen Zhao would take this path.
She choked up and said, "It's all their fault for taking Zhao'er away. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken this path of no return, and you wouldn't have waited alone for a year. You would have lived a good life."
Jiusu sighed and said, "Godmother, don't think about it. It's enough for people to save their lives. Don't suffer here. Go back to the Chen family or to the Jiu Mansion. Don't make me worry."
"Okay, I'll definitely find you if I have something to ask."
Only after getting her godmother's assurance did she leave reluctantly.
Looking at the vast night, the stars are twinkling.
Jiusu looked up, thinking about what her godmother had said: if Chen Zhao hadn't gone and stayed with the original owner, what would she have done if she had traveled through time? Chen Zhao was capable and down-to-earth.
Will they live well?
"Won't."
"If Chen Zhao hadn't been captured, the original owner wouldn't have been forced to death, and I wouldn't have been transported to the original owner's body. As for fate, it's fixed and forward-looking, yet also unstable and without ifs and buts."
Do you regret it?
It's useless.
The next morning, Jiusu and Huang Fangtian set off for Lingcheng. The factory affairs were handed over to Qian Junjie, and the important matters in the mansion were handed over to Jiang Jing. She was very relieved.
[Congratulations to the host for passing the 'Worship the God of Wealth' and obtaining 15 gold leaves]
She needs gold leaves the most.
As soon as they entered Lingcheng, the surrounding scenery changed. The houses became bigger and better, and the clothes were also of a higher grade. However, Jiusu could see the styles of Jinxiu Pavilion.
I don’t know how the pajamas are selling.
Huang Fangtian said: "A carriage will come to pick you up to go to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. You should have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore."
Jiusu looked up at the inn.
She exchanged glances with the innkeeper, and he seemed to recognize her.
"Book a room."
"Okay." The shopkeeper took the key, bent down and personally led her to the private room on the third floor. He pushed open the door and said, "If you have any instructions, please feel free to ask. I will ask the waiter to help. Besides, our family lives in the backyard."
Open the window and the bustling city comes into view.
It is convenient to travel alone, so I didn’t bring Zitan and Kou Shao with me. These two little maids are really cute. Having them around saves me a lot of trouble. Without them, I have to do everything myself.
Jiusu had a good sleep and felt particularly refreshed.
She asked for hot water and washed up, but it was still dark. The last time she came to Lingcheng was for a special reason. Ajing wanted to break the situation, so she went to Lord Yang Xu.
Now, it is time to resolve the situation.
After changing into men's clothes, he went out.
I was sitting in the bun shop eating dinner, and when I looked up, I saw an acquaintance.
Qiu Man waved and greeted enthusiastically. Beside her was Song Wang with a cold face. However, when he saw Jiusu's men's clothing, he was stunned for a moment, realized he recognized him, and followed him over.
"Jiu...Jiu brother?"
Jiusu chuckled: "Why are you here?"
Qiu Man sat beside Jiusu warmly, stole a glance at the man eating the buns, and explained with joy, "Lord Song wants to investigate the tobacco dealer and asked the Marquis for permission to come to Lingcheng."
"You two..." Jiusu's eyes moved between the two of them.
Qiu Man shook her head. "It's strange, Madam Yi was worried about you and asked me if I would like to come with Lord Song. Of course I would! But why is Madam Yi so concerned about you?"
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
“You really look like…”
Mrs. Yi.
Jiusu leaned close to her and whispered, "I'll tell you a secret. Do you think I could be the child who was stolen from the Marquis' Mansion back then?"
"Really?" Qiu Man sighed, as if it should be so.
A look of joy appeared on her face, as if she was happy for Jiusu.
Song Wang asked calmly, "What are you plotting?"
Qiu Man coughed lightly, biting into a bun, her mouth full, and said in a slurred voice, "Well, as a girl, don't ask questions. Ten more buns."
Song Wan let out a light chuckle.
"Girls eat a lot."
“…”
The Chamber of Commerce was held at the Shao Mansion, which was decorated with red silk. Jiusu appeared in men's clothing, but it did not cause much of a stir, and no one paid attention to her.
But Jia Chun's family recognized her.
Because she was wearing men's clothing and probably didn't want people to know her, she was simply addressed as "Young Master".
Jiusu smiled and said, "Boss Jia, long time no see."
"Young master, please come in and sit down." Jia Chun invited with a beaming face. Ever since Miss Jiu's help, his and his father-in-law's business has grown rapidly.
They were all very curious when they saw someone sitting in the seat above Boss Jia.
They all came forward to talk to him, but were all rejected by Boss Jia.
"This young man likes quietness, so please don't disturb him, bosses."
Jiusu lowered her head. Uh, she actually wanted to talk. After all, she still had to find out about the cigarette dealer. Well, it would be better not to alert the enemy first.
She tilted her head and asked, "Boss Jia, is there anything strange happening here? For example, the deceased was very thin."
Jia Chun thought about it carefully.
"I don't know if he's thin or not, but it's quite bizarre. I heard he was possessed by evil spirits, and many parts of his body are black."
Doesn’t that mean he died from smoking drugs?
It seems that they have already infiltrated Lingcheng.
Jiusu said, "After this is over, I will go to the Jia Mansion to visit Madam."
"That's fine," Jia Chun invited. "Why don't you stay at the mansion? The inn won't serve you well. Since you've come all the way to Lingcheng, I must be a good host!"
Jiusu said politely, "I came here with a friend. I'm afraid I'll bother Boss Jia."
Jia Chun understood and continued to invite, "The Jia Mansion is always open to you."
While the two were chatting, everyone had already arrived.
