What must come, will come

s, looking around but failing to find Su Yusheng's trace.The Jade Lily is also gone.The village head pointed to the house on the west side, “Mr. Su should be in the house. Yulian has been sleeping wit...Fang Jinshu saw that her mother-in-law had made up her mind to punish the scumbag husband, so she beckoned Xiaoyue to bring things up.

Seeing Xiaoyue carrying a makeup box over, Mu Shi was taken aback.

"What is this for"

Fang Jinshi playfully winked, "Mother will know tomorrow."

She wanted that blind, worthless scumbag of a father to see for himself that he thought marrying the daughter of an official was the right choice, but in reality, it was like throwing away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

How can all the benefits in the world belong to just one person, Zong Pingchuan When he made that decision, he should have known there would be retribution one day.

The next morning, Fang Jinshu brought Yulian and Xiaoyue to Mu's room to busy themselves for a long time. As the only adult male in the family, Zong柏 naturally had to come out to greet the guests. Fang Jinshu also intentionally let him get in touch with these people from the capital.

Pan Zhi'an was the earliest arrival, accompanied only by a young attendant. He still dressed in his usual simple manner.

Anyone who looked at him couldn't tell that he was already a fourth-rank official in the capital.

"Congratulations, Zong Er Gongzi."

"Jinshu Mountain Villa has even come to the capital city! Wishing you booming business."

Fang Jinshi's business has been able to achieve what it is today thanks to Pan Zhian's help. The two parties have a mutually beneficial relationship.

He couldn't have achieved his current political success and official rank without Fang Jinshu's contributions.

It can be said that if he hadn't met Fang Jinshu, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. Luoshui County, facing such natural and man-made disasters, might have long become a deserted city.

Zong Bai hurried a few steps forward to greet him.

"Lord Pan, you have arrived."

Pan Zhi'an had his servant bring up the gift he had brought.

"Mr. Pan, you are too polite. With our two families' friendship, there is no need for such worldly courtesies. Just come directly."

Pan Zhian smiled and, taking advantage of the break in his conversation with Zong Bai, whispered to her.

"The Ministry of Finance's erasure of your title of Number One Scholar was not entirely flawless."

“In a while, I should be able to get my hands on some crucial evidence. It might just help clear your name.”

Zong Bai's heart tightened. He was no longer the young man who wore his emotions on his sleeve. This experience had made Zong Bai see things more clearly.

People grew a lot overnight.

He just smiled and nodded, showing no sign of emotion.

"Let's discuss this matter later. Thank you, Lord Pan, for your efforts on this."

Today is a vegetarian feast prepared by my sister-in-law. Lord Pan has taken the day off to relax and enjoy the delicious food.

Pan Zhi'an saw that he was so calm. Last time he saw Zong Bo, he was as gloomy as a different person because of this matter.

It looks like things have calmed down, good, growth.

"Well, a banquet personally overseen by your sister-in-law must be quite extraordinary. It seems we're in for a good show today."

Zong Bai just smiled, his heart actually had no bottom about what would happen next.

"Please come in, Sir Pan."

After Pan Zhian entered, guests arrived one after another. The front of Jinxiu Mountain Villa was bustling with activity, and all sorts of carriages and sedan chairs lined up row upon row.

Fortunately, the suburban area is spacious. A few days ago, my sister-in-law had people clear out the vacant land in front of the house and built a parking lot.

At first, Zong Bai didn't understand what this parking lot meant.

After his sister-in-law explained, he understood that the large open space was planned into squares to accommodate carriages and palanquins for the guests attending the banquet.

The palanquin was on the left, and the carriages were parked on the right. There were also four servants inside the courtyard to look after the noblemen's horses, providing them with fodder and water.

There was also a special place for sedan chair bearers to rest and drink water.

This way, the entrance won't be too messy, the scene will be neat and tidy, clean and concise, but rather highlights the owner's meticulous mind and orderly work.

Although it was just a small parking lot, it gave the guests who came to the banquet quite a shock.

In the past, when people in Beijing were invited to banquets, they only thought about how to make the arrangements in their homes perfect. The entrances were often blocked, with carriages unable to pass through due to the crowds. Of course, carriages belonging to noble guests had designated places to park.

Other factions, weak as they were, did not dare to vie for position with them.

Their own carriages could only be parked in a remote place, and they would have to wait for the servants to fetch them when it was time to leave. They usually had to stand at the door waiting for a long time.

It has to be said, Fang Jinshu's hundred vegetable feast, just the entrance parking alone has won over a lot of people's favor.

"Guishan Zhuang really thought things through. From now on, I'll definitely buy grain and vegetables from your Jinxiu Cai Zhuang!"

Zong Bai did not neglect the other person because they were not an official. Instead, he remained courteous and enthusiastic.

"Then, I'll trouble Mr. Wan for his continued care in the future. Please come in."

Wanji Cloth Shop was very wealthy, and the embroidery skills of their embroiderers were unmatched during the Daixi era. Even noble people in the palace often sent people to Wanji to purchase goods. Even if one couldn't befriend such people, it was absolutely impossible to make enemies with them.

"Young Master Two, Lord Zong has arrived."

As soon as Master Wan stepped into the manor, a servant boy rushing out from the welcoming pavilion exclaimed.

Zong Bai's face stiffened for a moment, then he quickly recovered.

What's coming will come, and what we have to face, we must face! in ragged gasps, he walked towards the bedside.He bore it and bore it, picked up the quilt that had been kicked aside by Fang Jinshi, covered her with it, then closed the door, even going so far as t...
