Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 176 Believe in you

The ornately decorated carriage moved slowly forward, with the wheels making slight creaking sounds as they rolled. The carriage was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and Li Ziyan's face was flushed, and he leaned on Zhao Junning's shoulder with a dazed look in his eyes.

He murmured to himself: "Jun Ning... Now that I have become a high-ranking official, I am finally able to protect you and take care of you. From now on, I will never let you work so hard again, and I will never let you get hurt in any way. You must believe me!"

Zhao Junning listened to Li Ziyan's words quietly, with tenderness and determination in her eyes. She responded softly, "Silly, of course I believe you. From the beginning to the end, I have only believed in you. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side and support you."

Li Ziyan raised his head and looked into Zhao Junning's beautiful and affectionate eyes, his heart filled with emotion and love. He stretched out his trembling hand and gently stroked Zhao Junning's face, as if he wanted to keep this warmth on his fingertips forever.

Zhao Junning felt Li Ziyan's touch, and her cheeks flushed with shyness. She held Li Ziyan's hand, smiled and said: "Ziyan, we have gone through so many ups and downs together, and there is still a long way to go in the future. As long as we support each other, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage became particularly warm. The two people's eyes met, and they conveyed endless affection to each other. They were immersed in the vision of a better life in the future, and hoped that this deep friendship would accompany them through every difficulty and obstacle.

The next day, autumn deepened and the branches and leaves turned yellow.

"Alas, it's autumn and winter again, and I don't know if my son can come back this year." The old woman at the door of the grain shop sighed; "Yes, my son has been in Jingzhou for three years, and I don't know if he can come back this year." Another woman also looked worried.

In the grain store, Zhao Junning looked at the rice harvested this year, "This year is a bumper harvest." Yuan Xinghui looked at the account book and said, Zhao Junning nodded while turning the abacus intently, "Yes, Pingliang is a rare place without disasters, and the geography is just right, not too hot or too cold, and there is no shortage of rain. The grain grows naturally well."

At this time, there was some more noise outside the store.

"What's the noise outside?"

Fuling came in and said, "Madam, there is a commotion at the shop across the street. He said that there is something wrong with the food in our restaurant and he got sick from eating it."

Yuan Xinghui laughed angrily, "This Liangzhou came to blackmail, and there are still such people in Pingliang."

Zhao Junning was deep in thought, and then he walked out, "Boss, you're here."

Zhao Junning took a closer look and found that it was the troublemaker. She responded calmly, "Madam Liu, what do you want from me?"

At this time, Xue Yu, who was standing nearby, also saw Zhao Junning and said in surprise, "Oh, Madam Li, I didn't expect that this store was opened by you!"

"That's right, Madam Liu, I wonder what happened today?" Zhao Junning asked calmly.

Xue Yu stepped forward and cried with grievance, "My daughter Xin'er came to your house for dinner today. After returning home, she felt unwell and kept vomiting. I asked her the reason. This kind-hearted child told me after a long time that she felt uncomfortable because she had a meal at Junzi Restaurant. Madam Li, you have to give us justice!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junning's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, but soon returned to a serious expression and asked: "So, have you asked a doctor to see it? Do you know the specific disease?"

When Xue Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he had not taken his daughter to see a doctor.
