Although she couldn't go to Liangzhou, she had to keep a close watch on Songxi Courtyard for her mistress.

The next day.
After making all the arrangements, Song Zhiyu boarded the carriage bound for Liangzhou. However, she did not expect that Zhou Xingzhi would also be there.
“You…” Song Zhiyu hesitated, she should have expected this.
Zhou Xingzhi initially disagreed with her going to Liangzhou, but later inexplicably changed his mind and decided to go with her.
Zhou Xingzhi's cool hand gripped Song Zhiyu's soft hand tightly, and a clear laugh escaped his throat, "If we speed up our pace, we can reach Liangzhou tomorrow."
Song Zhiyu nodded and turned to look out the car window. "I'm just worried about my eldest brother and third brother. This plague is not so simple."
Zhou Xingzhi sighed, his cool fingertips gently stroking Song Zhiyu's eyebrows and eyes. "You really trust Marquis Chengen with such an important task as transporting herbs?"
“He is the best candidate, at least he can keep Prince Li in check.” Song Zhiyu turned his head, a dark glint flashing in his cold eyes.
"Besides, I did have a backup plan. He might get into trouble, but the Heavenly Star Grass won't."
She had already sent people to secretly follow the convoy transporting the herbs to ensure the safe delivery of the Tianxing Grass to Liangzhou.
The current calm is merely the calm before the storm.
The Northerners planted in the Lintian Dynasty were waiting for their chance to strike; she needed a live target to draw all the fire.
Shen Feng is just right.
If someone treats her with respect, she will naturally repay them tenfold.

On the other side, the Marquis of Chengen's residence.
"Father, everything has been arranged." Shen Rushan leaned close to Shen Feng and whispered in his ear.
"Well done." Shen Feng tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, reached out and patted his shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Fortunately, he had his son Rushan to share his burdens, and he was wholeheartedly concerned about the honor and disgrace of the Marquis's mansion.
Then, he thought of his other sons, and his face visibly darkened.
Apart from the third son, Shen Mingyi, the others were nowhere to be seen.
“Father, Brother Rushan.”
Shen Jinshu walked over gracefully and handed the bundle in her hands to Shen Feng, saying, "Father, you must take good care of yourself on your journey to Liangzhou."
"They say daughters are considerate, and that's certainly true." Seeing this, Ye Rou covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Shen Jinshu.
To her left was Shen Jinshu, to her right was Shen Rushan, and in front of her stood Shen Feng. The group chatted and laughed, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere, just like a real family.
This scene deeply pained Madam Shen. Her hands trembled as she clutched her chest, forcing a smile. "My lord, Yu Zhou has difficulty walking..."
She tried to find a reason for Shen Yuzhou, who had never appeared from beginning to end, but Shen Feng was clearly not buying it.
He snorted coldly and began to scold them mercilessly, "A doting mother spoils her son! Look at what they've become!"
Having said that, Shen Feng ignored his mother's pale face, turned around and left.
In front of a group of maids and servants, Madam Shen almost lost all face.
She could even feel countless mocking gazes falling on her, like thorns in her back.
