NOVPUBThe next day, news of Gu Zhi’s actions had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Everyone knew that the Young General had proposed an investment idea.
The plan was to invest grain in the Gu family’s soldiers. Each household would contribute, and after victory, the investment would be returned threefold.
A ten-thousand-signature document had been signed, with the Young General’s seal and signature on it.
Shen Roujia knew that Gu Zhi acted quickly, but she hadn’t expected things to move at such a rapid pace. At this rate, Gu Zhi would soon have enough grain to head to Yancheng to support Xiao Sinian.
However, with this momentum, the timeline of events might accelerate. Shen Roujia wasn’t sure if this would impact the original plot. She didn’t know exactly what Gu Zhi was thinking, but she knew that this was not an easy problem to solve. The situation was straightforward, but still complicated, as Shen Roujia considered it.

However, when it came to actually implementing the plan, Shen Roujia couldn’t let her ideas clash with others, especially when her actions were the last thing that should conflict with the plot.
Shen Roujia remained cautious, ensuring that everything she did adhered to her principles, never crossing any lines. This was the mark of Shen Roujia’s integrity.

Who’s Who? Gu Zhi is on a rollercoaster of emotions, from trusting Shen Roujia to questioning every move. Did you know the phrase “狐假虎威” (the fox assuming the tiger’s might) comes from a tale where a fox convinces others of its power by walking beside a tiger? Shen Roujia seems to be borrowing this tactic, standing confidently with her “tigers.”
