Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"The King of Zhenbei has a deep affection for the young lady. As long as she is alive, the King of Zhenbei will never give up. Therefore, for the sake of the country and the people, the young lady must die today. This way, the King of Zhenbei can govern the country with peace of mind!"

Yao Qingwen pulled back the dagger in his hand and said without changing his expression.

No, are you okay?

Su An was speechless, his face turning slightly red with anger.

Before she could open her mouth to retort, she heard the door creak open.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guihua walked in with three children.

Obviously they heard what was said just now.

"Xiao An is my daughter and I am the only one who can kill her. Who do you think you are? How dare you bully Xiao An? If you want her life, you have to get past me first."

Li Guihua changed her usual behavior, crossed her arms, pointed at Yao Qingwen like a shrew, and cursed him angrily.

Seeing this, the three kids behind him also started shouting.

"Dare to bully my eldest sister, I will beat you to death!"

"You shameless old thing, why don't you just die?"

……

As they spoke, they all rushed towards Yao Qingwen with their fangs and claws bared.

Before Su An could stop them, he saw them pushing Yao Qingwen to the ground and punching him one after another.

Even the usually gentle Li Guihua took a broom, cursing and beating him.

Soon, Yao Qingwen was beaten so hard that he held his head and cried out in pain.

Seeing how fierce they were, he didn't bother to say anything about letting Su An die. He quickly twisted his body and struggled to move towards the door.

While they were tired of fighting, Yao Qing hurriedly pushed them around and then ran out of the room.

Before leaving, he did not forget to threaten Su An.

"You...you bunch of unruly people, I will not give up easily. If I want the country to be stable, this witch must die!"

After saying this, fearing that Li Guihua would chase him and beat him, he quickly covered his head and fled away.

Watching him leave, Li Guihua spat at him in frustration, then threw the broom in her hand to the ground, turned to look at Su An, and persuaded him softly.

"Xiao An, don't take his words to heart. He's just talking nonsense. Xiao An is not some evil woman who brings disaster to the country and the people. How can a weak woman easily decide whether the country is stable? It's ridiculous!"

"Mother knows you have always been kind-hearted. I've always supported you in all the good things you've done for the benefit of the country and the people. But this time, you can't easily commit suicide because of these absurd words, otherwise I will never forgive you in this life!"

Looking at Li Guihua's nervous look, Su An felt warm in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yue also came over, pursed her lips, and held Su An's hand tightly.

"Yes, big sister, that old guy just can't stand seeing you do well, so don't fall for his tricks."

Su Ting and Su Jiang are boys after all, so they express their emotions more tactfully.

They clenched their hands under their sleeves and tried to persuade her awkwardly.

"Big sister, no matter what, we are all a family. A family should be together and happy. No one can be missing. Big sister is not some evil witch who brings disaster to the world. It's not Big sister who should die, but these stubborn and foolish old guys!"

Seeing that they were all worried about him, Su An's eyes became slightly moist. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He hugged them all in his arms and responded with a smile.

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly commit suicide?"

"I'm kind-hearted, but I'm not stupid. I value my life very much. How could I possibly end my own life just because of a few random words from others?"

As she said this, she sighed deeply and looked up at Li Guihua.

"You're right. We are a family and we must be together no matter what. However, they haven't achieved their goal, so they definitely won't give up. I'm afraid we can't stay in the capital anymore. Let's pack up and leave now."

As long as Su An can think positively, it doesn't matter where their family goes.

"Okay, let's go together!"

After hearing this, the others looked at each other happily, nodded, agreed, and then turned around to pack their luggage.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, a carriage galloped out of the capital, heading towards Fuyou County.

The surroundings were silent, with only the sound of the carriage moving and the chirping of insects.

Su An leaned against the wall of the carriage, eyes closed, feeling a little drowsy.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves approached, and it was particularly clear in the silent night.

Finally, the horses neighed and forced the carriage where Su An was to stop.

Su An was awakened by the noise, and quickly lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Fu Zhun was wearing a white robe and riding on a tall horse, standing in front of the carriage, looking exhausted.

Su An instantly lost his composure, frowned, and quickly got out of the carriage. He stood next to Fu Zhun and looked up at him and asked.

"How did you come?"

Seeing this, Fu Zhun also got off the horse and patted the bag on his horse's back.

"Didn't we agree to leave together during the day? Why are you leaving me behind at night? I've already packed my things. Since you're leaving now, let's go together."

Thinking of what Yao Qingwen said during the day, Su An frowned even deeper.

She hadn't even had anything to do with Fu Zhun, but Yao Qingwen was already threatening to kill her. If Fu Zhun really went with her, wouldn't the ministers in the court be hell-bent on her?

Although she likes Fu Zhun, she will never allow anyone to influence her family.

Thinking of this, her expression became more serious, and she sighed helplessly as she tried to persuade him.

"I regret it. You have your responsibilities, and I have mine. We are not destined to be on the same path. Let's end it here! The reason I chose to leave at night is that I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. From now on, I will walk my own single-plank bridge, and you will walk your Yangguan Road. We have nothing to do with each other."

After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.

But Fu Zhun took a step forward, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her whole body towards him, forcing her to look directly at him.

"Do you have some unspeakable difficulties? This is definitely not your true feelings. You promised me during the 100 days. I have already said that I don't care about power or money. I just want to be with you."

"No matter what happens, I will not give up easily. Today we will leave together and stay together."

As he said this, he pretended to carry Su An onto the horse.

But before he could make any move, Su An took the lead and raised his hand and slapped him.

"Fu Zhun, can you please wake up? You are the King of Zhenbei, the pillar of the Great Chu. If you leave, what about the people in the world? Haven't you always taken it as your responsibility to protect the people? Do you really want to abandon millions of people for me?"
