He was afraid that Fang Qing would discover his bloody and brutal side.
He was even more afraid that Fang Qing would leave him because of this.
Zhao Shi'an grasped Fang Qing's hand, and Fang Qing did not pull away.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked Fang Qing.
"Now that there's war in the southwest, the Gao family knows they can't use my parents to threaten you anymore. What if they do something to my parents...?"
"No, Gao Wancheng's two sons are in my hands, he won't make any rash moves."
I see.
Zhao Shi'an patted Zhao Fangqing's hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry, once the troops in the southwest start fighting the imperial court, we'll have a chance to rescue Uncle Da Niu and the others."
Now that Fang Qing knows Zhao Shi'an's identity as the master of Fengyu Tower, she naturally believes in his abilities.
While Fang Daniu and his wife were at the Gao family's place, Fang Qing still had no appetite. She was led to the dining table by Zhao Shi'an and barely managed to eat a couple of bites.

"What's up?"
Xiao Liu frantically gave Zhao Shi'an meaningful glances.
Zhao Shi'an glanced at him and calmly continued eating.
"Qing'er already knows."
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, then slowly took her hands off her face.
"Master, we have delivered the information about Gao Ren's background to Gao Wancheng."
Zhao Shi'an nodded.
"Okay, you guys keep an eye on that side and leave him hanging for a day."
"yes."
Xiao Liu glanced at Fang Qing again, then stepped back.
He was also curious why Fang Qing wasn't angry.
"Gao Ren's background?" Fang Qing asked Zhao Shi'an after Xiao Liu left.
