Chapter 461: Chapter 648: Beyond Doubt
Though the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs; it’s convenient to come and go, and what’s more, information here is readily available, which is most suitable for us. If we were to find a place that is completely hidden but not well-connected, we might be safer, but whether it’s gathering intelligence or moving about, it would not be convenient, and we would rather be restrained.”
After Feng Ruolin finished speaking, she turned to Su Hengyi, “Husband, Brother-in-law really is reliable. Such a place is most suitable for our current situation, and it is mostly people from Jianghu that frequent this kind of area, which makes it convenient for me to make contact.” Feng Ruolin felt more and more satisfied as she spoke.
Su Hengyi nodded, his face showing satisfaction, but the words that came out of his mouth were quite critical, “Hmph, if he doesn’t have even this bit of ability, he still wants to be my brother-in-law? Does he really think my sister is someone just anyone can marry?!”
Feng Ruolin couldn’t help rolling her eyes. Her husband was so protective of his sister. Although he had acknowledged Han Yu as his brother-in-law in his heart after some time, he still put on this facade. Those who were unaware might really think he was dissatisfied with Han Yu as his brother-in-law.
“Husband, enough is enough, isn’t it? Just look at the pride on your face; it’s clear you are very satisfied with Brother-in-law’s work. Is it that hard to admit what you really feel?” Feng Ruolin was fed up with her father-in-law, her husband, and her brother-in-law; all three men of the family acted the same way. She couldn’t do anything about her father-in-law and brother-in-law, but she could certainly handle her own husband.
“Miss Lin, you…” Su Hengyi coughed awkwardly a couple of times, not having expected his wife to bluntly expose him like that, not even giving him a chance to save face. Honestly, she had never been like this before.
“Husband, where did that shopkeeper go? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?” Feng Ruolin knew she had been impulsive and made her husband lose face in front of everyone, feeling a little regretful, she immediately changed the subject, not wanting her husband to be too embarrassed.
“Sorry, sorry, for making all of you wait. I went to see an old acquaintance to inquire about some matters and got delayed a bit by soldiers inspecting the city. Please, forgive my lateness.”
“Are you the shopkeeper?” Su Hengyi’s gaze swept over the middle-aged man who had just entered, who appeared very ordinary, someone who would definitely not stand out in a crowd. However, Han Yu could sense something particularly different about him, yet couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
“My surname is Fang, and indeed, I am this teahouse’s shopkeeper. The master has already sent me a message, informing me of your arrival, and told me to follow Young Master Su’s orders and instructions. Knowing that you would be coming these days, I specifically stayed in the store, not daring to leave for a moment, fearing that I might miss you. It’s just that the matter today was too important, and it is related to the purpose of your visit to Chang’an, which is why I was late. I ask for the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Mistress to pardon me.”
“So it is Manager Fang. Manager Fang, there’s no need for this; we have no intention of blaming you. Besides, Manager Fang was busy with legitimate matters and has done nothing wrong, so there’s no need to reproach yourself,” Su Hengyi helped Manager Fang up. It wasn’t just that Manager Fang had done nothing wrong; in reality, they would need to rely heavily on Manager Fang for many things in Chang’an. Although Manager Fang was Han Yu’s man and had to follow Han Yu’s orders, Su Hengyi didn’t want Manager Fang to assist them only for that reason.
