But the reason why Su Xiaomu was willing to let go was not because he was annoyed that he kept chattering here.

But deep down in my heart, I felt some intolerance towards Gu Jingcheng.

Even if she is a woman, she has a soft heart.

After all, Su Xiaomu couldn't bear to see that he had studied hard in Han Chuang for more than ten years and put in such huge efforts, only to be sacrificed because of his children's affair.

Even if the two of them have to separate and are destined not to be together, Su Xiaomu is definitely a very qualified ex-wife. I hope that he can have a bright future and stay in the court as his official.

After thinking about everything clearly, when Su Xiaomu looked at Zhou Lin, he didn't think he was that disgusting anymore.

"Then let's get on the road immediately!"

When Zhou Lin received Su Xiaomu's nod, his eyes instantly lit up.

"I still have some things to explain. You came suddenly, and I haven't solved many things yet."

She now has three shops under her control, and managing each one requires a lot of effort.

Going to the capital would only take several months, so Su Xiaomu had to make complete preparations for his business.

But just because she saves people, she can’t miss her plan to make money!

So Zhou Lin was like a follower that day, running around the city with Su Xiaomu with his extremely ugly face.

Su Xiaomu asked him for the address of their permanent residence in the capital, and told Shilan Shizhu that they would write to her every half month about the operating conditions of the dessert shop, Zhumeng Xiaozhu and Xiyue Pavilion.

He also temporarily entrusted the newly opened Xiyue Pavilion to the care of Luo Yi and Chen Anning.

After everything was ready, Su Xiaomu and Zhou Lin hurried to the capital.

Su Xiaomu hardly had any rest along the way. He was rushing in the morning and also in the evening.

If there weren't so many students rushing to take exams these days, and there were officers and soldiers patrolling the inns on the official road, Su Xiaomu would really not dare to follow Zhou Lin in horse racing day and night.

That's right, Su Xiaomu didn't even get into a carriage. The winter wind was biting, so she tied two cloaks around herself to prevent her pretty face from being blown to bits by the wind.

Of course, besides rushing on the road, Su Xiaomu also didn't forget to ask Zhou Lin about Lin Yuemei, Princess Xingyue's family affairs.

This time they were mainly looking for trouble for Lin Yuemei. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy will never lead to defeat. Su Xiaomu had to find a way to find out Lin Yuemei's identity, who her parents were, how big the backer was behind her, and who could solve this backer?

"You are doing business in Fucheng. I believe you have heard of the Lin family, right? The Lin family in Fucheng and the Lin family in Jingcheng can be considered the same family, but Fucheng is the ancestral home. Although the ones in Jingcheng are also direct descendants, they are still a little different in terms of status."

"Princess Xingyue is of noble birth. She is fearless in the capital. All the noble girls from the aristocratic family look up to her. However, she is extremely afraid of his uncle, who is now the chief minister of the cabinet."

Zhou Lin wanted to save Gu Jingcheng. Before he came to Su Xiaomu, he had already investigated Xingyue Princess Lin Yuemei in the capital.

"The chief minister of the cabinet grew up with His Majesty. When he was young, he had a close relationship with His Majesty in the palace. Now he works in the court and is deeply trusted by His Majesty. He is also serious and upright. If he gets angry, he will continue to fight.

Your Majesty must avoid his sharp edges, so if we start with this uncle, the princess will not dare to offend him no matter what."

Zhou Lin stared at the fire in front of him seriously. He kept flipping the grilled fish in his hand, but he had no desire to eat: "If you don't want to go to the Yamen to sue the princess, then we can only find another way. Maybe we can

Let’s start with this uncle.”

"What about other things? For example, does this uncle have any weaknesses?"

Su Xiaomu was feeling cold and full, and the wind whistling past her ears was blowing. She tried hard to tighten her cloak to prevent any wind from entering.

There was a fire, but Su Xiaomu was still a little cold.

"Not yet." Zhou Lin said lonely, "But I will inquire about it after entering Beijing. We only need to resolve this matter before the imperial examination so that Jingcheng can take the exam as scheduled."

"What about you?" Su Xiaomu asked Zhou Lin, "You also have to attend the Spring Festival, and your reading is not as good as Gu Jingcheng's. Why don't you read well in the remaining days?"

"I had no hope for Chunwei this time. If it hadn't been for the quarrel between the two of you and no one to accompany Jingcheng to take the exam, I might not have even participated."

Zhou Lin's fish was roasted, but he didn't want to eat it, nor did he want to feed it to Su Xiaomu.

He threw the grilled fish casually on the grass nearby, and his words became more meaningful: "If you were in the capital and let the princess see that Jingcheng has a wife, maybe nothing would happen to him."

"This is strange." Su Xiaomu understood the complaint in his words, "You don't want to blame everything on me now, do you? Have you forgotten when the princess fell in love with Gu Jingcheng?

A few months ago in Fucheng, I wasn’t the one who asked him to meet Lin Yuemei."

Su Xiaomu was too lazy to continue wasting time with Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin who lost Gu Jingcheng was like a fish out of water, always looking for someone to make him mad before he died.

She closed her eyes and said nothing. She was not hungry anyway, so it would be better to have a good sleep.

The two of them traveled day and night, finally reducing the time it took to get to the capital by half.

I was so exhausted on the road that I couldn't get up in a hurry after arriving in the capital.

Zhou Lin spent money to inquire about the news, and Su Xiaomu went to her and Boss Zhang's dim sum shop to look at the account books.

This has become a habit of hers. Whenever she goes to a store she hasn't been to for a long time, the first thing she does is check the account.

This dim sum shop just opened after the Chinese New Year and has not been open for long in the capital.

However, although the business hours are short, the income is still very considerable.

After reading the account books, Su Xiaomu asked them about some things. She and Zhou Lin divided their work and cooperated without disturbing each other.

Zhou Lin didn't have many connections in the capital. Although he had a lot of money, not every money he spent would be answered in the end. Many people shook their heads when they heard that he was asking about Lin Yuemei's affairs.

Talkative.

He couldn't investigate anything, and when he was at a loss, he didn't know what to do next.

Inn.

Zhou Lin was not in the mood to eat. He even found it difficult to swallow the porridge in front of him.

"Why don't you take a good look at your face in the mirror? I'm just trying to save face by saying it's pale and pale. In just a few days, you're much thinner than before. Your cheeks are so thin that they're sunken. You look like you're half dead.

You always appear in front of others, who would be willing to deal with you and do business with you."

Su Xiaomu grabbed a piece of big cake and placed it in front of Zhou Lin, and also prepared a plate of side dishes and porridge for him.
