Xia Lan was led out by Jiang Zhiyun and arrived at the threshold in front of the main room... She stood there somewhat at a loss, and didn't know whether she should just step out.

Jiang Zhiyun gripped her hand tightly and said with a determined look in her eyes, "Xia Lan, come out quickly."

"it is good."

He handed his hand to Jiang Zhiyun, and from then on, he did everything without hesitation.

Xia Lan came out, and Jiang Zhiyun also came out.

The two held hands and boarded the carriage to go home.

Ye Qi and Jiang Jiuzhou were placed behind Jiang Zhiyun.

"Ye Qi, Jiuzhou, you two take care of our things. The Fourth Prince was probably going to make a move against me today, but in the end he did nothing and just released us."

"He's such a petty person, his mind is entirely on Xie Shuheng. He probably won't do anything good right now."

"So protect our things, make sure no one poisons them or anything, and also check if any bad guys are following us."

"it is good."

Ye Qi and Jiang Jiuzhou listened attentively to these words.

“Madam Jiang, when Jiangcheng takes the carriage later, you and Madam Xia Lan can sit inside.”

"Jiang Cheng can wait behind and guard Xia Lan's dowry. Xia Lan will come with me, and anyone can drive the carriage."

At this moment, Xia Lan and Jiang Zhiyun were sitting together. They had found a tribute student to be their coachman. Xia Lan said incredulously, "I left the Nan'an Marquis's residence just like that. Madam Jiang, thank you."

Have you decided how you're going to leave?

The two sat in the carriage and headed towards Jiang Zhiyun's house.

"I haven't decided yet, but no matter what path I take in the future, it won't be worse than it is now."

“Madam Jiang, I think…” Xia Lan looked at Jiang Zhiyun, as if she had mustered up her courage to prepare her words, “I was just thinking, could I say that living with you ladies is very interesting, and I really want to be one of you?”

Jiang Zhiyun smiled and said, "Xiuhe's wife had a family tragedy; her husband got into an accident, and afterwards she took her child and begged for help, which is why I brought her back. As for Cuizhen's wife, her husband is my husband's brother, and later she also started working with me."

“Then I…” Xia Lan said anxiously, “Can I go with you now? Although I didn’t know you before, seeing you hold banquets and do all sorts of things, I’ve actually been thinking that it would be nice to be with you.”

She used to be the kind of person who paid people to host banquets, but now she's thinking of becoming the kind of person who makes money by hosting banquets for others.

What seemed like an unbelievable decision to others was actually something she had wanted to do for a long time.

Sitting in the carriage, Xia Lan was still a little reserved.

Looking at Jiang Zhiyun, her eyes were full of expectation: "Madam Jiang, if I follow you, will I be able to cook such delicious food?"

“Madam Xia Lan, doing business isn’t so easy. You might have to change your pretty clothes for something more practical, and you’ll still be exhausted every day. You might also encounter some irrational customers.”

"Arguments and being bullied are common occurrences."

"So, you need to think about it. Have you really thought this through?"

After saying this, Xia Lan looked at Jiang Zhiyun with some confusion and asked, "Madam Jiang, if I go with you, can you help me solve these problems?"

"I definitely can't do it, but I feel that if I'm with you, you can protect me."

"Hmm." Jiang Zhiyun was also somewhat speechless; that was indeed the case.

Sitting to the side, Zhang said with a smile, "Come, come, anyone is welcome here, as long as they are willing to work hard and are ambitious. Coming to our home will give you a different way to make money."

"When we're busy, we work together. Once we're done, we can play cards together."

“But Madam Xia Lan, you have so much money and shops to manage. In reality, you only need to manage your dowry. You can live with us then.”

"When we're busy, you can come and help us out."

After saying this, Xia Lan nodded: "Does that mean I don't have to work every day and can still stay with you?"

“Of course,” Jiang Zhiyun nodded. “We’re good friends, so you can come anytime. Your shop is also in the province, and my husband is here, so naturally I’ll be here too.”

Xia Lan's eyes were full of excitement, and she had so much to say to Jiang Zhiyun.

Madam Zhang was also a little puzzled: "Shuheng should have come by now, according to common sense. Yunniang, we went to inform him, but he didn't come. Is he being held back by something?"

"It's highly likely that if the Fourth Prince wanted to target me, he wouldn't have sent Xie Shuheng here. Perhaps he's been targeted by some troublesome person. There's nothing we can do, Mother, we must protect ourselves."

Zhang also became more wary: "Of course."

After a while, we arrived at Cuihu Pavilion. The water in Cuihu Lake was very deep, but the scenery was also very beautiful. The entire province was built along Cuihu Lake.

Everyone's houses and courtyards were built around Green Lake.

Emerald Lake is very deep, and many people have drowned there. But it is also very beautiful; the sky and water are so blue, and everything blends together to create a sense of tranquility and peace.

As Zhang looked at it, she realized something was wrong.

"No, driver, you've gone the wrong way. Our home isn't on the way to Green Lake; that pavilion in the middle of the lake is too crowded, we don't go that way."

"Just turn into the alley from here."

But the driver wouldn't listen to her at all. At that moment, Jiang Zhiyun knew something was wrong!

Jiang Zhiyun looked at Zhang Shi and Xia Lan with determination in her eyes: "Get out of the car and jump out immediately."

"Wait for my instructions."

Jiang Zhiyun quickly lifted the carriage curtain, and pointed the dagger she took out at the coachman.

Her fighting skills were lacking, and she had no martial prowess whatsoever, far inferior to the abilities of Xie Shuheng and the others.

But when it comes to killing, you have to be quick; Xie Shuheng taught me that.

So when Yunniang first pulled out her dagger and was exposed, just as the coachman was about to strike her head, Jiang Zhiyun swiftly turned and stabbed.

It was plunged straight into his heart.

At first, Jiang Zhiyun couldn't accept the situation of killing, but as these people stopped treating her like a human being...

Jiang Zhiyun slowly began to protect herself. There was a possibility that if she didn't act, she would definitely be attacked and killed.

The coachman died.

Jiang Zhiyun immediately grabbed the reins and tried to control the direction. She then realized that the horse was acting strangely and had obviously been drugged.

I tried really hard, but I still couldn't hold on.

Jiang Zhiyun called out to the inside, "Mother, Xia Lan, come here and pull the reins with me."

The three of them used all their strength to slow the horse down a little, but Jiang Zhiyun was still the main force. As soon as she let go, the horse would go crazy.
