my aunt gave birth to a child before marriage is known only to a few family members and trusted confidants.As fate would have it, just half a year after Gu Feng was born, the imperial court announced...Chapter 1112: The incident at the tavern should only be the beginning.
Fang Jinshi deliberately delayed the time, no matter what compensation the shopkeeper proposed, she insisted on seeing Jiang Chuang.
When Jiang Zhuang learned that there was trouble at the wine shop, he was restless and furious, so he set fire to it.
"Useless trash, do you need me to handle such trivial matters myself Am I raising you just to vent my anger"
Recently, Jiang Chuang's air pressure has been extremely low. He personally led people to the small courtyard several times to rescue Mrs. Liu, but he failed every time. Instead, he was caught by Yuan Buyu and was used more ruthlessly.
For so many years, he didn't care about his reputation. He acted as a bully, a local hoodlum, with blood on his hands eliminating his enemies and amassing wealth. He did any dirty or tiring job.
He could numb his conscience and do all sorts of wicked things.
All I want to do is protect these two people, one is Xiu Xiu and the other is Liu Shi.
He always thought that as long as he could find XiuXiu, then rescue Mrs. Liu, and take them far away to escape the turmoil of Kyoto City.
Yuan Buyu, with his vast network of influence in Da Xi, could easily have them escape to places like Wu Meng, Xi Xia, or even the Northern Frontier. The world is vast; there must be a place for them to call home.
I never thought things would turn out like this. It's fine for Xiu Xiu, at least someone is looking after her. But Yuan Buyu... there's nothing she can do about that.
But this poor woman, Liu Shi, no one else could save her from fire and water besides him. He couldn't just ignore her.
The winehouse was another task assigned to Yuan Buyu by his superiors. With the Four Kingdoms Summit approaching, he seemed very anxious about raising funds as they were short of money.
Jiang Zhuang didn't know why, even if he asked Yuan Buyu, he wouldn't tell him.
If the restaurant business fails, he doesn't mind being punished, but he's afraid it will implicate Liu Shi and bring her trouble too.
Therefore, the business of the restaurant must not fail.
Let's go take a look.
After venting his anger, he still followed the people from the tavern here.
Fang Jinshu had already fainted the shopkeeper, and when Jiang Chuan arrived, he saw that all his shop assistants were red-faced and glaring at the same person.
He turned his head to look at the person, and when he first saw Fang Jinshu after her disguise, he was taken aback for a moment. How did he have a feeling of déjà vu
Upon seeing Mujin standing beside her, Jiang Chuang instantly recognized her, his face turning ashen.
"Aren't you here to see me"
"Come with me!"
Jiang Chuang panted as he rushed upstairs. Fang Jinxiu saw that he recognized her and followed him up, nonchalantly.
"Hibiscus, you guard the door. Don't let anyone in."
"Yes, Miss."
After entering the room, Jiang Chuang launched into a furious tirade at her.
"Are you crazy What is Zong Yu doing How could he let you come to such a place."
"Do you know how many Yuan Buyu's men are watching in this restaurant If you're recognized, he won't show you any mercy!"
Fang Jinshi appeared here with a little girl, and Jiang Chuang was so scared that his heart stopped.
If Yuan Buyu knew that Fang Jinshu was alive, he would definitely still find a way to take her life.
Fang Jinshu didn't speak, allowing Jiang Chuang to rant until he ran out of breath and fell silent. She then poured him a glass of water and handed it over with a smile.
"Take it easy."
"You've seen Hibiscus's disguise arts, not many people could recognize me."
"See, I'm fine now, aren't I"
"If you didn't come here, I wouldn't even be able to find you. I sent someone to the Jiang residence to deliver a message, but you still avoided me."
"So, you're going back on your word already"
Jiang Chuang sat down angrily.
I didn't mean to stand you up, I just haven't been very convenient to show up lately.
Fan Jinshi pointed at the restaurant.
"Is it inconvenient to appear because you're helping Yuan Xiang open a restaurant, aiding the wicked"
Jiang Chuang's face stiffened, speechless.
"Don't worry about this, the business of newcomer might be affected a little, but your restaurant's food quality is excellent. True foodies won't be swayed away."
"Could it be that you've come today to defend the other taverns"
Fang Jinshi shook her head. The marketplace was like a battlefield. She wasn't a bodhisattva who came to save people from suffering. Although Jiang Chuang's methods were indeed rather underhanded, they were still within the bounds of legality.
She wouldn't even bother with this.
I'm just a little worried about him.
"I've said everything I needed to say. You continue to stay by his side, and sooner or later, something bad will happen."
"I came to you just to ask when the clearance document will be ready."
Jiang Chuang saw that she still refused to give up on going to Xixia. Xiu Xiu, like him, was a person who had made a decision and wouldn't easily change it. No one could persuade her.
So he didn't intend to persuade her anymore, just like he wouldn't persuade himself to leave Yuan Buyu's side.
"I'll try to get it to you within a month."
After all, he was not an official of the court. Although Yuan Buyu trusted him dearly, he rarely let him interact with people in the court. Those who knew his identity were almost all dead officials.
It would be quite difficult to obtain a pass without Yuan Buyu noticing.
He probably won't have time to attend to anything else until the Four Nations Trade Conference officially begins.
Okay, then one month.
"This time, don't hide from me again. You're not a person of your word."
Jiang Chuan was unwilling to let Fang Jinshu stay here any longer, he didn't want her to be discovered by Yuan Buyu's people.
"You've asked everything you wanted to know, now you can go. Leave as quickly as possible."
"And that tavern of yours, I know you took it over for that princess from the Northern Border. In the future, if any other tavern owners come to you, no matter what they ask you to do, refuse them all. Don't get involved."
Seeing Jiang Chuang's face so solemn, Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but ask another question.
What on earth does Yuan Buyu want to do
"As prime minister for so many years, he should have plenty of money, why would he need to open a wine house and use such underhanded tactics to take over the market"
Those squeezed, struggling small and medium-sized restaurants, what a pity! Yuan Xiang, such a big figure, actually competes with the common people for this meager meal.
"I don't know what he's planning, but judging by his past actions, the incident at the tavern should only be the beginning."
"Don't worry about the rest, just get out of here now."
Fang Jinxiu still wanted to ask a few more questions, but Jiang Chuang impatiently drove her out.
There were still many onlookers gathered at the entrance of the tavern. If she walked out unscathed and carefree, Jiang Chuang might be held accountable by Yuan Buyu later on.
When she came out, she covered her face and cursed, as if she had suffered a huge loss. She was filled with indignation.
Damn it, you son of a bitch, what's so great about having more people
"My godmother only had that much silver, and you all robbed her! I won't let this slide!"
As soon as the people around heard this, they all showed expressions of "I knew it." Who in the capital city doesn't know what kind of person Jiang Chuang is Could anyone possibly make Jiang Chuang suffer a loss
Not many.
Being bullied is the norm.
Fāng Jǐnxù left in a huff, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed as well.
After reaching a deserted corner, she took off the human skin from her face and returned to Yuan Ke Lai. elder brother and sister-in-law. Later, after she finally managed to make a good life with the help of her daughter-in-law, she was bullied again by her younger brother's family.Mù shì originally tho...
