Zhou Jin nodded silently. It seemed that Xu Shu had finally taken that step and took that step for him. Xu Shu never owe him anything. Instead, he owed Xu Shu a lot. From the beginning of mutual use, to the later acquaintance, to the current lovesickness, the relationship between him and Xu Shu had been closely linked, but Xu Shu was always trying his best to separate them. Just like now, the unconcealed expression of relief on Xu Shu's face, in Xu Shu's view, she finally paid off the favor she owed him, and then took away the people who stayed in the Jingyuan, and then cut off the connection between them...

Zhou Jin was very reluctant to think about it like this, but Xu Shu's actions and expressions told him that this might be the fact. Zhou Jin couldn't help but start to feel that Xu Shu had planned to leave the maid in Jingyuan just to calm his heart, because he knew that she was a soft-hearted person, and she could not leave these maids alone, so he naturally felt that Xu Shu had no intention of leaving.

But later, Xu Shu still gradually moved away from him step by step. From the day Xu Shu entered the Zheng family, Xu Shu was preparing for this day. Sadly, when he realized this, he had no chance to keep him, but how could he watch her leave?

"Xu Shu..." Zhou Jin stopped.

"Hmm?" Xu Shu almost hit Zhou Jin's back and almost stopped her pace.

"Uncle's illness is almost cured..."

Xu Shu nodded, "It's time to get better. If you don't get better quickly, it's going to change. I heard that Gao Da was forced to stay at home by the Deng family!"

Although Gao Dadi made Gao Zhinan disheartened and escaped outside the pass, Xu Shu was somewhat dissatisfied with Gao Dadi, but Gao Dadi was Gao Zhinan's father after all, Gao Dadi's current situation still made Xu Shu sigh.

"Mr. Gao was promoted by the Emperor's Uncle with all his strength. He understood the Emperor's Uncle's intentions the most. The Emperor was afraid of the Deng family, so Master Gao naturally confronted the Deng family! But now the Emperor was sick and Master Gao lost his backing. The Deng family relied on King Qing Chunfeng to be proud. Of course, he had to settle with Master Gao's old and new accounts. Master Gao had no other way except to avoid it!"

"But Mr. Gao has some means to protect himself at the hands of the Deng family!"

"After all, I am a person who has been immersed in the officialdom for many years. Without such means, I would not be attracted by the emperor's uncle!"

Zhou Jin was convinced by Master Gao's ability, but his expression was a bit unpredictable. If he could get the assistance of a capable important official like Master Gao, he could also add a lot of help, but such an important official is the confidant of the current emperor and cannot be conquered, then he can only...

Xu Shu suddenly smiled, "When the sister Zhinan was sent to marry, Gao Da was bound to regret it and always think about making up for it! If King Pingning wants to win over Gao Da, he might as well be better to Sister Zhinan. Gao Da Da was grateful for his kindness and would naturally be used by King Pingning!"

"It makes sense!" Zhou Jin nodded seriously, "Grandma Gao feels guilty towards your Zhinan sister. If your Zhinan sister asks for anything, Gao must respond to all your requests. It seems that I should indeed be nice to your Zhinan sister!"

However, after hearing Zhou Jin's words, Xu Shu was not as jealous as Zhou Jin expected. Instead, she smiled and echoed him, "This is the best! The Zhinan sister is dignified and virtuous, and she will definitely assist King Pingning!"

"Xu Shu...Is this your truth?" Zhou Jin looked at Xu Shu's face, with a trace of injury on his face.

"Then were you just saying the truth?" Xu Shu asked back.

"No!" Zhou Jin admitted honestly, "I just wanted to anger you, but I didn't anger you, but instead made myself angry!"

"Because I know you are not telling the truth, I am not angry at all!" Xu Shu blinked, "Of course, even if you say the truth, I respect your choice..."

Suddenly, a fog appeared in Xu Shu's eyes, "I have done everything I can. The Zheng family... can't help you any more. It's normal to make the most advantageous choice in your position. I won't blame you!"

The mist in Xu Shu's eyes clogged Zhou Jin's heart, "Am I the kind of profit-oriented person? Xu Shu, my choice has never changed, you are my only choice!"

Xu Shu squeezed a smile out of the corner of her mouth, but she was obviously reluctant, relieved but so embarrassed.

"Are you worried about the Zheng family?" Zhou Jin gently rubbed Xu Shu's head, "Don't worry, with me, there will be no problem. I will let my mother change her mind. Even if I can't let her change her mind, I will make her plan unable to be implemented!"

"If Empress Dowager Fu heard this, she would definitely be very sad. For me, it is not worth disobeying Empress Dowager Fu. The Fu family can give you more than I can give you..." Xu Shu buried her head in Zhou Jin's arms, her voice hoarse.

"I have the final say whether it is worth it. What you say doesn't matter! Even the Fu family can give me is not given by many Mother's queen. As for my mother, I will do my best to be filial to her, but I may not be able to give what she wants!"

What the Queen Mother Fu wants is what the Fu family wants. The Fu family's ambition has made Zhou Jin three points afraid. This is the best time to get the Fu family out of the Zheng family's chess game!

Zhou Jin is a rational person and knows the importance of Queen Mother Fu and the Fu family to him, but Xu Shu is more rational than Zhou Jin. Not only did she successfully use Zhou Jin's fear of the Fu family to divest the Zheng family's plan, but she also found a new way out for the Zheng family, if the Zheng family could understand the current affairs...

"By the way!" Xu Shu suddenly took out a post, "This is a post sent by the Fu family yesterday, and invited me to the Fu family on Daughter's Day. Although this post was sent in the name of Miss Fu, the handwriting on the post was very unfamiliar, not like Miss Fu's handwriting! I found out the previous post and compared the handwriting. It turns out that the handwriting was not from the same person as the previous one!"

Zhou Jin took the post and frowned again, "It's Mrs. Fu's handwriting!" Zhou Jin closed the post, what is the purpose of Mrs. Fu's post to Xu Shu in the name of Fu Xinyao?

"Mrs. Fu?" Xu Shu pondered, "I have no relationship with Mrs. Fu, how could Mrs. Fu want to see me?"

Zhou Jin shook his head. What was the purpose of Mrs. Fu's appointment with Xu Shu in the name of Fu Xinyao? Is this what Mrs. Fu himself mean? Or is someone instructed behind the scenes? What exactly does the Fu family want to do?
