Fu Zhiyi's jealousy suddenly disappeared.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

He just looked at Lu Zhenzhen foolishly, with emotions surging in his eyes.

In this world, perhaps only my wife is so stupid and thinks so wholeheartedly about me.

The corners of Fu Zhiyi's eyes were slightly red. He blinked his eyelashes desperately and looked upwards to blink away the moisture in his eyes.

Take a deep breath and calm down for a while.

Then he smiled and walked forward to help Lu Zhenzhen fold the dried letter paper and put it into the envelope.

Then seal it with vermilion lacquer.

Lu Zhenzhen looked at the bulging letter, and then at Lan's pitiful letter with only one sentence next to it.

After all, I just can't bear it.

He spread out the letter paper and gestured to Fu Zhiyi, "I need to say a few more words to my wife. As for my adoptive father, I don't know when he will be able to return to the capital after this separation, so I need to tell him too, right?"

Fu Zhiyi rubbed Lu Zhenzhen's hair and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you stay in South Vietnam for long."

Lu Zhenzhen didn't believe it. For officials sent out to other places, the term of office was generally three to five years before they would be transferred back to the capital.

Even if Fu Zhiyi performs well, it will take at least two or three years.

She was mentally prepared to stay in South Vietnam for several years.

He also wrote two letters based on Lu Zhenzhen's dictation.

Look outside, it's almost dark.

Haitang, who was serving outside, came in and asked if we wanted to serve the meal.

After sealing the letter, Fu Zhiyi nodded.

Dinner was prepared by the village head's wife. It was home-cooked food with large portions and real ingredients, and it had a unique flavor.

Lu Zhenzhen thought that she had to travel tomorrow and didn't know if she would be able to eat such hot meals, so she did have an appetite in the evening.

After finishing two bowls of rice and a bowl of chicken soup, I reluctantly put down my bowl and chopsticks.

As soon as Fu Zhiyi saw Lu Zhenzhen like this, he knew what she was thinking. He rubbed Lu Zhenzhen's belly with a helpless smile, and asked Nanny Ye to find hawthorn pills to help her digest the food.

"Don't worry, I've already found a royal chef who's retiring. He'll be leaving with the escort agency tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat on the way."

How could Fu Zhiyi not know Lu Zhenzhen? Of all things, eating and saving money are the most important.

The journey is thousands of miles long. If he doesn't eat or sleep well, wouldn't he be heartbroken?

He had found this imperial chef a long time ago. After checking his background several times, he found no problems. He knew that the chef was old and his sense of taste had deteriorated, so he was no longer useful in the imperial kitchen.

Someone sent him a message asking if he was willing to retire and return home. He only needed to help cook for a few people along the way and could be taken to South Vietnam.

The royal chef agreed without much thought.

I wonder how many people would be happy to see an unused imperial chef leave.

This matter was done quietly. The royal chef was completely released a few days ago and lived in the Weiwu Escort Agency, waiting to set off with the large team.

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she immediately smiled happily.

She hugged Fu Zhiyi and took a bite. "Fourth Master, you are so amazing! How come you are so amazing? Such an amazing Fourth Master is actually my husband. Sigh, I don't know what kind of virtue I accumulated in my previous life, and how many incense sticks my ancestors burned to bless me with such an amazing husband like Fourth Master in this life!"

Fu Zhiyi said, "You're coaxing me again—"

But the corners of his mouth couldn't be pressed down.

The couple rested happily.

Because I was not in a hurry, I slept until I woke up naturally the next morning and then breakfast was served.

After breakfast, the luggage and other things had already been loaded onto the carriages, and a few more carriages had arrived.

Without waiting for Lu Zhenzhen to ask, Fu Zhiyi took the initiative to explain: "I arranged for it to be sent to the manor in advance. It will be needed on the way."

Lu Zhenzhen gave Fu Zhiyi a thumbs up and got on the carriage.

This carriage was no longer the one that came with the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, but a new one.

It doesn't look very eye-catching, but once you sit on it you'll find that there's more space inside, allowing you to sit more comfortably.

There was also a small cabinet. When it was opened, there were various small drawers inside, which contained some snacks, and there were also small hollowed-out compartments, which contained teapots and teacups wrapped in cotton cloth.

The four corners of the cabinet are wrapped with cotton, so it won’t hurt too much even if you bump into it.

In addition, the sitting area has been widened, and there is a horizontal board underneath that can be pulled out to become a small couch.

There is a large box under the horizontal board, which contains bedding, pillows and other things. You can take them out and use them to sleep when needed.

Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen were sitting in the carriage, and Dingxiang was sitting next to the driver in the front.

There were several carriages at the back, which were for Dingxiang, Nanny Ye and others.

After everyone got on the carriage, Fu Zhiyi took out a stack of envelopes and handed them to one of the servants, instructing them, "Wait until tomorrow afternoon before you return to the capital and give these letters to Madam."

The servant took the order and put the letter away.

Fu Zhiyi supported himself on the shaft of the cart with his hands, pushed off with his feet and got on the cart. Then he waved his hand and the convoy began to move slowly.

After walking a long way, Lu Zhenzhen suddenly remembered something else: "Is Doctor Qi's nephew also waiting for us at the intersection with the Weiwu Escort Agency?"

Fu Zhiyi nodded.

"It seems like you've been planning this for a long time?" Lu Zhenzhen was speechless.

Fu Zhiyi smiled but said nothing.

No! He had already been making preparations.

I just wanted to give Lu Zhenzhen a surprise, and I also didn't want her to worry.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared.

If I hadn't made this preparation, my wife might have been left behind.

Sure enough, when I reached the intersection where the road connected to the official road, I saw a group of people waiting.

Daman rode up and talked to the leader.

The leader nodded and signaled. Twenty or so strong men took the lead, and the carriages of the group of people coming out of the village merged into the team. Then the carriages at the back followed, and finally there were another ten or so strong men at the end.

There were quite a few carriages and pedestrians traveling on the official road. When they saw the mighty escort agency's group, they all tactfully moved aside.

Only after they walked away did they start whispering to each other.

"Whose family is traveling to hire someone from the Weiwu Escort Agency?"

"Looking at this posture, he's from quite a prominent background! Do you see the leader? He's the head escort of the Mighty Escort Agency, not just any nobleman. He wouldn't go out on an escort mission easily."

"Who cares who he is? There are so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this capital city. There are so many rich and powerful people. Who knows who this immortal is?"

……

In the capital city.

The Mansion of Princess Deqing.

"Did you see it clearly? Did he really leave Beijing?" Princess Deqing asked slowly, holding a cup of tea in her hand without drinking it.

"Your Highness, I have seen clearly! Fu Zhiyi has indeed left the capital with his wife and her entourage. They hired the chief escort of the Weiwu Escort Agency to escort them all the way to Zhili."

"I have already inquired about it. I heard that they have chartered a boat and will go all the way south to Luozhou first, and then to Nanyue. Your Highness the Princess, do you need me to help you on the way--" The person kneeling below made a gesture of wiping his neck.
