My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Having grown accustomed to the use of force to suppress others in the apocalypse, Ji Yunshuang's first thought was to snap Fu Pei's neck. This kind of scum, letting him live for even a second longer, was just polluting the air.

The problem now is that he knows who colluded with Huang Jiayu to do such despicable things, but he doesn't recognize that person or know what he looks like.

However, this was not a problem for her.

Prince Rui only had a few sons; it would be easy to find out by asking around.

But simply killing him would be too lenient on that scumbag.

Moreover, from the ledger in Huang Jiayu's secret room, she not only discovered Fu Pei, this scumbag, but also many other scumbags like Fu Pei.

These scoundrels included local officials from Jiangzhou, as well as many officials from other places.

They used those innocent girls to build a network of connections. They then used this network to provide them with information.

Moreover, it's clear that Huang Jiayu is just one of them.

There are also many people secretly running these despicable businesses.

She won't let any of these filthy scumbags get away with it.

However, for now, we still need to find out what Fu Pei actually looks like.

The next day, at daybreak, Ji Yunshuang drove her carriage into the city.

Because of the conscription order, few people are paying attention to the theft at Desheng Trading Company today.

However, the guards at the city gates still strictly inspected the carriages leaving the city.

This caused the lines of people entering and leaving the city gates to be much slower than usual, leading to constant complaints from many people.

Many people dared not complain about the government, so they blamed the owner of Desheng Trading Company.

Ji Yunshuang listened quietly to the people's complaints, and after entering the city, she went straight to the all-knowing man.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, the know-it-all immediately looked around furtively. Even though he didn't find anyone suspicious nearby, he was still uneasy.

He quickly pulled Ji Yunshuang into the house, and after closing the door, he whispered, "Big sister, did you do that?"

Ji Yunshuang feigned ignorance, "What is it?"

The know-it-all whispered, "It's Desheng Trading Company!"

God knows how shocked he was when he heard that all the properties under the name of Desheng Trading Company had been stolen.

His first thought was of Ji Yunshuang.

After all, she had previously inquired about the properties under the name of Desheng Trading Company, and not long after he gave her the information, Desheng Trading Company was robbed...

"Oh, you mean the theft at Desheng Trading Company!" Ji Yunshuang looked at him with surprise and accusation. "You're not doubting me, are you? Do you think I, alone, have that much ability?"

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang's surprised yet reproachful gaze, Wan Shitong immediately realized that he had been wrong.

Although the eldest sister is capable, it is indeed unlikely that she could steal all the shops under the name of Desheng Trading Company in one night without leaving any trace.

He hurriedly apologized to Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang waved her hand dismissively and said, "Alright, no need to apologize. The fact that you think that way shows that I am a very powerful person in your eyes, which is also an honor for me."

As he spoke, he looked around the know-it-all's place, then took out a money pouch and gave it to him, saying, "Is the money I gave you not enough? Take this and find a better place to stay."

Know-It-All refused repeatedly, saying, "That's enough! I haven't even finished spending the money I gave you last time!"

Ji Yunshuang raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of impatience. "Just take it. I'll need you to do things for me later."

The know-it-all gratefully accepted the money bag. "Big sister, is there anything you need me to do?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Do you know who the owner of Hongdu is? Find out anything related to him for me."

Wan Shi Tong Dao said, "Big sister, I'm afraid this won't be easy. What I've inquired about... is probably just the tip of the iceberg, and I'm afraid it won't be of much help to you."

That's Prince Rui.

They're not ordinary people; they can't find out everything.

“Anything is fine, any information is acceptable,” Ji Yunshuang said. “I’m not doing anything; I just want to learn more about the master of Hongdu.”

Upon hearing this, the know-it-all breathed a sigh of relief.

Any news is fine.

He was afraid that Ji Yunshuang would ask him to find out some military secrets.

After Ji Yunshuang finished speaking with Wan Shitong, she turned around and went to Tianxiangfang.

She packed more than a dozen bags of various pastries from Sweet Fragrance Shop, loaded them onto the carriage, and then, under cover of it, placed pickled chicken feet, pickled bamboo shoots, and other foods that she had prepared in advance in porcelain jars into the carriage.

After packing the things, Ji Yunshuang drove the carriage to the government office.

Ji Yunshuang didn't come to the government office very often, but she had already become a familiar face there.

As soon as she arrived, someone said, "Here to see your uncle again?"

Ji Yunshuang smiled and handed over a bag of pastries from Tianxiangfang, saying, "Bring some food over for Uncle."

After exchanging pleasantries, the constable accepted the pastries from Ji Yunshuang and, as usual, praised her, saying, "Your uncle is truly blessed to have such a wonderful niece like you."

Ji Yunshuang repeatedly said, "You flatter me."

The bailiffs took Ji Yunshuang to see Liang Sheng.

At first, Liang Sheng only regarded Ji Yunshuang as a woman who was a little cunning, witty, and good at cooking.

Later, it was discovered that she wasn't just a little cunning. She was a woman of great wisdom.

Moreover, she is clearly more outstanding in other aspects than in cooking.

After several encounters, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. How could she have been born a woman? If she were a man, with some training, he could easily lead an army.

He admired and regretted her, and gradually, he began to treat Ji Yunshuang as a niece.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang arrive, he didn't go to check on the food she had brought, as he usually did. Instead, he asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

Ji Yunshuang had always been shameless in front of Liang Sheng, and after noticing his subtle change, she became even more unconcerned with formalities.

She sat down on the chair casually, "Why do I have to pick a time to come see my uncle? Can't I just come whenever I want?"

Liang Sheng didn't feel offended at all. On the contrary, he was happy because of Ji Yunshuang's unpretentious attitude and how she really treated him like family.

He laughed and said, "You're shameless."

Ji Yunshuang chuckled and said, "What's wrong with being thick-skinned? Being thick-skinned can even prevent frostbite. I'll take that as a compliment."

Liang Sheng was too lazy to banter with her. "Tell me! What brings you here this time?"

Ji Yunshuang didn't hesitate and said with a smile, "Uncle, can you give me an iron token to enter the inner city? As you know, I opened a shop at the entrance to the inner city, and it's doing quite well. I'd like to open a branch in the city."

Despite the current tense situation, it doesn't stop the wealthy from enjoying life.

Although Tianxiangfang's pastries are expensive, their taste is truly top-notch. Moreover, in the entire city of Hongdu, no other pastry shop besides Tianxiangfang can make them taste like that.

Moreover, Sweet Fragrance Shop is a shop openly supported by Prince Rui.

Whether it's because Tianxiangfang's pastries are delicious, unique, or for some other reason, respectable families all choose Tianxiangfang and buy their pastries from them.

Now, Tianxiangfang can be said to have completely established itself in Hongdu.
