Seeing that the Eighth Prince had already walked away, Lord Zhao did not delay and quickly followed.
After everyone left, Manager Tong hurriedly stood up, and the innkeeper also stood up shakily, his back soaked with sweat.
Fang Zhu led them back to the inn.
The Qin family's affairs were not yet settled, so Fang Qing instructed Manager Tong to continue the charade and guard "Master Zhou's" corpse.
Fang Qing relaxed her tense mood and invited Fang Zhu to sit down and have some tea.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would probably be in grave danger."
Fang Zhu shook his head.
"The guards you brought are all quite good. Even without me, they could have held out until the Eighth Prince arrived."
Fang Qing poured tea for Fang Zhu.

"Are you going to the capital after things are settled here?" He knew Zhao Shi'an was there.
“Go see my brother, and then we’ll go back to An County together.”
Fang Zhu's smile deepened.
