"Even though I said that, I live in fear every day. I'm afraid that one day he will wake up and know the truth. Ruyan must have not forgotten him in her heart. Brother Wu Liang loves Ruyan so much, but Ruyan has never changed anything because of Wu Liang's deep love..."
Seeing that she was always thinking about things like this, and she was already worrying about whether to sell the umbrella before it even started to rain, Gu Yunru caressed the back of her head lovingly and said, "Okay, you don't have to think about these things anymore. Your husband is now focusing on the government office. As a good wife, you should of course serve him well."
"Hmm..." Shu'er leaned lightly in Gu Yunru's arms, while Xiangping and Rongzhen went to the back mountain to find some precious fungi.
These fungi will grow when it rains, and they are very thriving. Xiangping, carrying a basket on his back, pointed to a high mountain not far away and said, "Look, that mountain over there is the highest. Even hunters don't dare to go up there. How about we go up that mountain today?"
"Okay, if you want to go there, I'll accompany you." Rong Zhen looked at her lovingly. Since the funeral of Old Man Hu, Xiang Ping seemed like a different person. She seemed to have regained her former optimism and cheerfulness. Seeing Xiang Ping become like this, Rong Zhen felt very relieved.
Going further back into the mountain, you will reach Old Man Hu's grave. Xiangping would stop here for a while every time he went up the mountain, put the cakes in the basket in front of the grave, light a few incense sticks, and kneel down with his hands clasped together.
"Grandpa, don't feel lonely down there. Xiangping will come to see you whenever he is free. My brother is very kind to me. Whenever he is free, he will accompany me to the back mountain to collect fresh mushrooms and catch some birds and animals. Xiangping is having a great time."
Rong Zhen was checking the surroundings and found a group of escorts passing by. He quickly pulled Xiang Ping to hide in the bushes. Xiang Ping carefully stretched his head and said, "Who are those people down there? They don't seem to be bandits..."
She felt that there was no need to make a fuss. The place was surrounded by mountains on all sides. If there were bandits, they would have disappeared without a trace when the Later Liang army attacked. The team below was obviously an escort team, but Rong Zhen felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.
"It's not too late for us to wait quietly for them to come over and observe carefully..." Rong Zhen was still a very cautious person. Xiang Ping stayed beside him happily and contentedly. As long as she was with Brother Rong, she would feel extremely at ease. Perhaps this was what all women yearned for.
"Brother, I want to make you a mushroom soup tonight, but I know that my sister-in-law doesn't seem to want me to cook for you every night. Can you tell my sister-in-law? I really just want your body to be nourished."
At best, Xiangping just wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with him, no matter what the reason was, as long as she could spend some time with him.
"Quiet..." Rong Zhen motioned for her to shut up. He was listening to the movements nearby. The escort team seemed to notice something strange nearby when they were halfway there. Sure enough, a group of bandits surrounded them from all sides. Rong Zhen's heart sank, and he watched from afar as the group was surrounded.
"I didn't expect there really were bandits who robbed the escort in broad daylight." Xiang Ping took a deep breath, but her fancy moves were of no use. She saw those people fighting each other. Rong Zhen rushed down the mountain without saying a word.
"Brother..." Xiang Ping watched Rong Zhen go down without blinking, and quickly covered her eyes. What she feared most was seeing the scene of swords and sabers. Every time she saw such a scene, she would have nightmares at night.
Wu Liang saw someone falling from the sky and was surprised to find out it was the prince. The two had no time to reminisce about the past, but had to work together to beat the bandits aside. That group of guys were sensible and left without gaining any benefit.
"Your Majesty, it's you. I didn't expect to meet you on the way of escorting a caravan!" Wu Liang was extremely excited, as if he had seen a relative. He grabbed his hand and couldn't wait to greet him. The other brothers looked at the one-armed hero curiously. He was extremely agile and could use a good knife to the highest level.
"I didn't know where you were going to take us this time." Rong Zhen looked at Wu Liang and his brothers. Wu Liang smiled and said, "It's Qizhou City. We plan to walk through this mountain road to reach the city.
This escort is particularly important. It's some gold items for the shopkeeper of Wanfulou, and it must be delivered safely. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I don't know what to do!" Wu Liang patted his shoulder with a smile. Xiangping watched them in the bushes as they seemed to be chatting happily at the foot of the mountain. Could it be that these people knew each other? Walking down the mountain slowly, Rong Zhen introduced Wu Liang: "This is Xiangping, my sister whom I recognized in Qizhou City, and this is Wu Liang. He is my good brother in Beijing." Xiangping reacted and nodded quickly.
"Hello, Brother Wu. My brother and I went up the mountain to pick some wild mushrooms."
Wu Liang nodded, looking at the beautiful young woman with a curvy figure. He didn't know what Gu Yunru was thinking by letting the two of them go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this little girl's eyes were all on Rong Zhen, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces. No one expected Sister Gu to be so generous. This time he came to Qizhou City just to visit his sister and brother-in-law, but he didn't expect to catch this scene.
As they were separated temporarily due to some matters, Rong Zhen also told Wu Liang to go to Huajianlou and left the address. After Wu Liang finished escorting the convoy, he really came to Huajianlou.
The business of Huajianlou is booming. I ordered a few of the store's signature dishes. Looking at the delicious and appetizing dishes, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva silently, my appetite was whetted.

"Who is the chef of your Huajianlou? His cooking skills are so superb!"
Ma Zi came over and looked at him with a smile, "This is made by our restaurant's chef Qiao Er. Usually, it is made by Miss Xiang Ping. Miss Xiang Ping's dishes tend to have a stronger flavor, while Qiao Er's dishes tend to have a lighter flavor. He likes to use tea to add color and put in a lot of nourishing soup ingredients."
