ted it."If I had known back then that Zong Yu was so capable and his family was so wealthy, even if I let Xiaochao marry him, I wouldn't have allowed Fang Jinshu to go.""Xiao Cao is only thirteen year...At this time, Fang Jinshu and his party were still on their way to the capital. It was a large group of people, with three or four carriages just for luggage.

Over the past three years, Zong Yu has been fighting on the frontier, and she hasn't been idle either.

Three years ago, her experience made her deeply realize that it's not enough to just have a desire for a peaceful life in seclusion. She needed the strength to be able to live undisturbed by anyone.

So she took in Fangyuan, who had almost died in the mountains. After saving his life, she made him recruit all the small hooligans from Fangjia Village and surrounding towns and villages.

These people weren't born to be gangsters either. They don't have enough food, and the environment is so harsh. They just don't want to die in silence. If they don't rob others, they will starve to death.

If someone could provide them with food, drink, and a normal life right now, who wouldn't want that

Therefore, compiling these ruffians didn't cost Fang Jinshu much, just some grain and a few clean wooden houses. This made everyone grateful and loyal to her.

She also deeply understood that to make people wholeheartedly follow her, it wasn't enough to simply satisfy their needs. Instead, she had to go against the grain. After all, if people ate too much, they would easily develop other thoughts and become less obedient and compliant.

Through many twists and turns, she has grown tremendously. At least three years ago, she never thought about controlling anyone or making anyone listen to her.

Live like a queen who fights for what she wants.

Even though this wasn't the life she wanted, she had to see it through.

Rather than being driven to a desperate situation, watching her husband being taken away and used by others, Fang Jinshu would rather walk this treacherous path of political intrigue first.

She wanted to have everything under her control.

The custom-made carriage, which cost a fortune, ran particularly steadily. Even on this bumpy road, Fang Jinshi didn't feel much of a jolt.

The benefits of being wealthy are indeed countless.

Yulian excitedly lay on the edge of the bed, constantly peering outside. When she saw a post station, she pulled her head back in. Just then, Fang Jinshu also opened her sleepy eyes.

"Sister-in-law, tonight we finally don't have to sleep in the carriage. There's a station!"

Fang Jinshi laughed, “You said you really liked sleeping in this carriage and that it was very comfortable.”

"This quickly, you don't like it anymore"

Sister-in-law, the way you say it, makes it seem like you're a spendthrift who gets bored with things easily.

"It's not like that," Yu Lian said shyly. "How could I dislike such a fine carriage so quickly"

"But you can't sleep in a horse-drawn carriage every day, it's not convenient for bathing or anything else."

"Just kidding."

"When you arrive in the capital, your sister-in-law will give you this carriage. You can use it whenever you go out."

The carriage that the sisters-in-law were riding in wasn't particularly large. When it was custom-made, Fang Jinshi only gave two requirements: exquisite and comfortable.

With the funds in place, those artisans were eager to pour their life's work into it. The carriage was not only exquisitely crafted but also lavishly decorated, perfectly aligning with the purpose of her journey.

That's just showing off their wealth in the capital.

Upon entering the station, Fang Jinshi gave Chang He a knowing look. Chang He was indeed clever; in the few days he'd been with her, he understood her meaning perfectly.

These aren't things you can learn just by putting in the effort, you need to have insight.

Moreover, Changhe has a reserved personality. He appears quiet and unassuming, but he is actually very methodical in his work and possesses a unique talent. He is a valuable asset and deserves to be retained.

This time, Chang He's mother was also brought to live in the manor. Life here is worry-free on all fronts, with everything available. There's no need to worry about food and drink.

If I don't want to do it myself, there will be servants to wait on me. If I want to talk to someone, the people working in the manor are all from the village and I know them well, so I won't feel lonely.

If she's restless and wants to work, it's even more convenient. The manor is so big, she can do whatever she wants.

She brought people out to help her with things, naturally she also had to make sure they had nothing to worry about.

Song Changhe walked up to the stationmaster and handed him a large silver ingot.

My wife dislikes strangers, so we've rented out the entire post station for tonight.

"As for the other guests' accommodation, my wife can compensate them with three companions and urge them to find another place to stay as soon as possible."

There are more than just this one inn around here. Seeing so much silver, the shopkeeper wasn't too hard to deal with.

It seems to be commonplace for such things.

This was Chang He's first time doing something like this, and after it, he returned to Fang Jinxiu's side with a slightly flushed face. There was still a hint of confusion and unease between his brows.dam. Don't think too much about it.""Zhao Guanli's life was saved by you, she would never betray you."Fang Jinshi wore an indifferent expression. "Forget it, I'll tell Yuan Bao later that the kitchen...
