No wonder he was so confident back then; he was sure His Majesty would protect the Third Prince.
Although she didn't expect to kill Chi Jingyu in one go, Shen Tangning couldn't help but feel sorry for him and sighed inwardly: "You've been working hard these days, take a good rest for a while."

After a period of effort, Feng Zhiwen finally succeeded in persuading his father to allow him to work as a bodyguard.
Just then, Weiyuan Escort Agency was about to embark on a long journey, and Feng Zhiwen volunteered to go and test his courage.
After packing up, he prepared to set off.
The entire Chi family saw him off to the city gate. Feng Yuan turned away to wipe his eyes, saying irritably, "You brat, you never have a moment's peace. Can't you give your father a break?"
Feng Zhiwen pursed his lips, his voice a little hoarse: "I've been gone for a year and a half, isn't that enough to ease your worries?"
Feng Yuan glared at him and subconsciously said, "You don't know anything!"
It was precisely because he was away from home that he was worried!
Escorting goods is no ordinary job. Not to mention the hardships of living in the open, if he were to encounter bandits, his defenseless appearance would make him an easy target!
However, no matter how much he thought about it, it was no use. His son had already made up his mind, and no matter how much he tried to persuade or scold him, he still couldn't change his mind.
"Alright, Dad, I know how to take care of myself, so don't worry!"
Fearing he might change his mind at the last minute, Feng Zhiwen quickly interrupted him, took small steps forward to Shen Tangning, and mustered his courage to promise, "Sister-in-law, I will definitely make you look at me in a new light!"
She raised an eyebrow, not wanting to dampen his confidence: "Then I'll wait and see."
Chi Yan, listening nearby, felt a little uncomfortable. He pulled Shen Tangning behind him and looked at Feng Zhiwen with displeasure: "What's going on? How come I didn't know you and your cousin's wife were so close?"
Feng Zhiwen chuckled twice, secretly glancing at Shen Tangning, and stammered, "Hehe, it's a secret."
"Hey, you little brat!" Chi Yan had just raised his hand when the other person had already run away in a flash.
He jumped onto the caravan of the security company, waved vigorously at the group, and smiled broadly: "Go back!"
The group watched the escort agency's convoy leave the city. Feng Yuan's eyes were red: "That kid just left like that, he's really heartless!"
Shen Tangning glanced at him, feeling a pang of guilt. If it weren't for her idea, the father and son wouldn't have had to endure the pain of separation.
“Everyone has their own destiny, Uncle. Let my cousin go out and explore. He can’t stay a hothouse flower forever!” Chi Yan thought that a change of environment might be better for tempering a person’s will.
Feng Zhiwen was pampered by his family since childhood and never had the chance to see the dangers of the outside world, which is why he was so easily deceived.
Letting him go out and explore on his own might be a good thing.
Feng Yuan nodded with tears in his eyes: "You're right, but what parent doesn't worry about their children?"
...
Two days later, Feng Yuan also proposed to return to Jiangzhou, but he never mentioned the matter of moving his ancestral property to Yanjing again.
Shen Tangning still had worries: "A tall tree catches the wind. The Feng family has come all the way to Yanjing. I'm afraid someone will have their eyes on them."
Chi Yan showed no sign of worry, and winked mysteriously, "There's no need to worry about that. I've already given Uncle an idea."
She became somewhat interested: "Oh? What idea?"
He kept it a secret; she knew nothing about it.
"I told him to go back and make a big show of donating a sum of his family property to the border in the name of the Feng family. This way, the problem of food supplies at the border will be solved, and the Feng family won't attract too much envy."
Shen Tangning's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."
