Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 179: Not Just About Personal Fame and Gain

"Yu Si, who had arrived here early, had been waiting in his carriage, thinking about the importance of this meeting. Finally, he couldn't help but send an attendant to inquire about the situation. When he learned that Shen Yu had left, he jumped off the carriage and hurried over.

As soon as he saw Shen Yu, Yu Si said with a hint of complaint: "Sir Shen, how could you do this? Can't you wait a moment?"

Shen Yu smiled slightly and responded tactfully: "Master Yu, you are very busy. How dare we waste your precious time on these trivial matters?"

Yu Si heard the sarcasm in Shen Yu's words, but couldn't get angry, so he could only explain with an awkward smile: "Lord Shen, you are too polite. I am really ashamed. In fact, it was not my intention to delay, but the carriage suddenly broke down on the way, which resulted in a delay of some hours. I hope Lord Shen will not mind!" After saying that, he deliberately patted the dilapidated carriage, as if to prove that what he said was true.

Shen Yu saw this, but he didn't point it out, just nodded gently to show his understanding. However, in his heart, he was quite dissatisfied with Si's behavior of making excuses to shirk responsibility. After all, as colleagues, everyone should respect each other and work together, instead of just caring about personal interests.

However, in front of everyone at this moment, he couldn't say much, so he changed the subject and said, "Since Lord Yu is here, let's continue discussing business..."

On the city wall of Lucheng, the autumn wind was bleak and the chill was growing. Ye Jinan, wearing a thick cloak and holding another cloak tightly in his hand, climbed up the city wall with firm steps.

She came to Zhao Junhao's side, gently put the cloak on his shoulders, and said with concern: "It is now late autumn, and the weather is getting colder. You must keep warm."

Zhao Junhao turned his head, looked at Ye Jinan gently, and asked softly: "What's wrong? Why do you look so sad? Are you missing home?" Ye Jinan nodded slightly in agreement, with a hint of homesickness in his eyes.

Zhao Junhao held Ye Jinan's hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, you'll be fine soon. Once we've settled our affairs in the city, we can go home."

Ye Jinan looked up into the distance, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. In the past six months, they have gone through countless storms, faced various challenges and changes, and have not yet completely calmed down.

She murmured to herself, "Yes, too many things have happened in the past six months, it's hard to keep up." Zhao Junhao couldn't help but sigh, "It's true. So many things have happened in just six months, it's really unexpected." The two looked at each other silently, recalling every detail of this period of time, their hearts filled with emotion and helplessness.

However, they know that life must go on, and there are more unknowns waiting for them to explore and face in the future. In this difficult time, they support each other and move forward together, looking forward to returning to their warm home as soon as possible and regaining the peace and peace of mind.

As night fell, everything was silent, and only the crisp sound of abacus echoed through the night sky. Li Ziyan was attracted by this unique sound and could not help but curiously look for it. When he stepped into the house, his eyes happened to fall on Zhao Junning who was concentrating on flipping through the account books and maps.

"Jun Niang?" Li Ziyan called softly.

Zhao Junning looked up when she heard the voice, with a gleam of wisdom in her eyes: "You're back, have you eaten yet?"

"Well, I've eaten. How about you?" Li Ziyan asked with concern.

"I've eaten it too." Zhao Junning replied with a smile.
