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

Ji Yunshuang had been busy for the past few days and hadn't had time to sleep. When she woke up, it was already noon outside.

After looking at the situation outside, she realized it wasn't a good time to go out, so she didn't rush to leave the space.

After washing up, she first went to a restaurant for a meal before going to the operating room to see several seriously wounded soldiers.

The soldiers' vital signs were stable, but she had kept them in a coma to prevent them from waking up and finding themselves in a strange place.

But we can't keep people in this drowsy state forever.

Ji Yunshuang thought for a moment, then looked at the situation of Ning Shi and the others.

When she decorated their room, she not only decorated it in an ancient style, but also left some dry food.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Ji Yunshuang decided to move the person to another place as soon as possible.

She pondered for a moment, then redid her makeup and found a suitable opportunity to leave the space.

She had originally planned to make proper arrangements for the shop she bought from the Xu family before returning to Jiangzhou.

But now, she has changed her mind.

She went to the Xu family to find Zhao Haisheng and said that the shop could continue to be operated as before, and she would arrange for someone to take over later.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Haisheng hurriedly discussed with her whether they could entrust those people to Ji Yunshuang as well.

Xu Minda has made a decision: to protect the Xu family, he will abandon everything he has built in Ningxing Prefecture and go to Jiangzhou to seek refuge with Prince Rui.

Zhao Haisheng was his trusted steward, so he would naturally inform him of such a major decision in advance and make reasonable arrangements as much as possible.

If the Xu family were to abandon the place they had operated in for many years and set up shop elsewhere, they could only take their most trusted confidants with them. The managers and shopkeepers in the shops would not be taken care of.

The Xu family was a prominent family, and they always trusted servants who held the indenture in their hands.

The managers and shopkeepers employed in the shop were mostly hereditary servants from the household or servants purchased from outside.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunshuang spent another sum of money to buy all the managers and shopkeepers of the shops, as well as all the goods in the shops.

The value of these servants, whom we have painstakingly trained, may far exceed the value of the shop itself.

The Xu family would never have been willing to sell these people unless a knife was hanging over their heads.

But now, with his family's lives at stake, Xu Minda couldn't afford to feel sorry for them and focused all his attention on how to escape the predicament.

Madam Xu, however, was unwilling to accept reality despite the facts being laid bare before her.

Upon learning that Ji Yunshuang had come to the manor, she hesitated for a moment, but still asked Ji Yunshuang about the whereabouts of her daughter.

“The young lady is incredibly resourceful; she must know my daughter’s whereabouts. My daughter… was she also burned to death?”

Ji Yunshuang said, "As far as I know, no."

Madam Xu's eyes lit up with surprise and delight. "Really? My daughter is really alright? Then... does the young lady know where she is?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "I think it's best for Madam not to inquire. Right now, Prince Duan's men are searching the whole city for her and Han Shi. Even if you know where she is, you can't take her away."

"Then...can you do it?" Madam Xu looked at Ji Yunshuang expectantly and said, "You can rescue her, right?"

Ji Yunshuang did not answer.

She could certainly rescue Xu Shi, but she didn't want to risk her life for someone unrelated.

Especially at this time.

"As long as you can save my daughter, I will listen to you from now on."

Madam Xu knelt before her, trying to persuade her, "Don't think that just because our Xu family is trapped in the city and can't do anything, it means we can't do anything."

But not everyone in our Xu family is trapped in the city. We still have members in the army, and you might need them in the future.

And then there's my family. I'm from Beijing, and my family is quite prominent there. If you ever need any information, I'll do everything in my power to help you.”

Ji Yunshuang asked, "Who else from your Xu family is in the army?"

"My son holds the rank of captain in the army." Madam Xu said this with a hint of guilt, because her son had been suppressed in the army because of the Han family.

Now that the Xu family plans to flee Ningcheng, her son's position as a captain will likely not last long and will not be of much use.

There might even be danger...

Thinking of her missing daughter and her son who might be implicated, she felt like she was going crazy and wanted to cry again.

Ji Yunshuang asked, "What's the name of your son who holds the rank of captain in the army?"

Madam Xu said, "Xu Xi."

Ji Yunshuang thought to herself, "This is quite a coincidence."

However, with the Xu family in trouble, her previous arrangements may be useless, which is a real pity.

She said, "I will do my best to help you get her out."

Madam Xu was overjoyed to hear that she would actually agree and thanked her repeatedly.

After leaving the Xu family, Ji Yunshuang discovered that someone was following her.

She frowned, pretending not to have noticed them, and went to inspect the various shops she had bought from the Xu family.

After all, her current persona is that of a wealthy ordinary woman, so it's impossible for her to discover that a master is following her.

After she inspected several shops as if she hadn't noticed anything, the expert who had been following her seemed to lose patience and left.

Ji Yunshuang patiently inspected all the shops before returning to the inn.

When the innkeeper saw her, he looked enlightened and said, "So you went out, young lady. That explains why I knocked on the door for so long without getting a response."

As he spoke, he felt a little confused. He had no recollection of when she left.

Ji Yunshuang asked, "Did you need something from me?"

When she checked in, she paid for two days' room and told the staff that she needed to rest in the room and not to disturb her unless necessary.

She was generous with her tips, and when she had a stern face, she exuded an aura of authority, making her seem like someone not to be trifled with. Naturally, the waiters dared not provoke her.

He was intentionally trying to please them today.

He said, "Nothing else, it's just that someone sent over some fresh locust flowers. The cook in the kitchen made locust flower pancakes and wanted to ask if you would like them, so we could send you some."

Ji Yunshuang thanked him and gave him a dime, saying, "No need for locust flower cakes. If you have any fresh locust flowers, send some to my room."

The waiter's eyes crinkled into slits with laughter when he saw the tip, and he hurriedly said, "There's more, I'll pick out some of the best and send them to the lady's room right away."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen with a smile.

Ji Yunshuang turned around and went upstairs to her room.

As soon as she returned to her room, she heard a commotion outside. Just then, the waiter brought her some locust flowers, and Ji Yunshuang asked him what was going on outside.

"Some officials came to the inn to search for assassins. They just searched it a couple of days ago, so don't be afraid, young lady," the waiter said, handing the locust blossoms to Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang thanked him, and then a soldier came over with a painting and a black cloth.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, a hint of amazement flashed in the eyes of the officers and soldiers.
