Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Zhao Youtang didn't get an accurate answer from his father. His father told him to be on guard against others and to observe the situation.

So Zhao Youtang didn't feel comfortable coming to Yunfu Ji today.

Ling Chuan didn't care too much. Although Yun Fu Ji's shop was smashed, the fifty salesmen still carried boxes and went out to sell snacks every day, so the impact was not that big.

He focused his attention on watching the craftsmen redecorate the shop. Since it was their second time doing this job, the craftsmen worked much faster.

Just when Ling Chuan was about to add some more fantastic ideas, An Jie came with his wife Luo Suyu.

"Lord An, Madam An." Ling Chuan bowed to the two of them.

An Jie bowed in return: "Brother Ling, there is no need to be so formal. You and I can just call each other brothers."

"Brother An, I am overstepping my authority. Please come in."

Ling Chuan led An Jie and his wife into the study. Before he could speak, An Jie spoke first: "Speaking of which, it was thanks to Brother Ling that I was able to get justice last time. I have never come to thank Brother Ling. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

These words made Ling Chuan a little confused. In the last incident, Ling Chuan was at most a leader. If it weren't for An Changqing's push behind the scenes, it wouldn't have been so easy to resolve.

But on the other hand, you and your wife didn't even show up at the last trial. This clearly showed that you were trying to reconcile with the Xu family outside the court and then selling me out.

Of course, with An Changqing's intimidation, the county magistrate Lu Chong did not dare to show favoritism in the court.

So it can be said that no one owes anyone anything in the whole matter. The couple came to visit today and were so polite. Ling Chuan really had no idea what their intention was.

"Brother An, your words are too polite. Brother An's suffering was caused by Yun Fu Ji. How can I ignore it? In short, this is also the fate between you and me."

"Right, right, right, fate, Brother Ling's words are brilliant."

The two exchanged pleasantries, while Luo Suyu smiled and said nothing. She was disgusted in her heart. What was so good about Ling Chuan's crooked ways? Her father-in-law even specifically told her husband to make friends with him. It was really...

Just as the two were chatting awkwardly, Xiao Taohong came in and reported: "Master Ling, someone is looking for you outside."

"Who?"

"Master Shi Xingshi."

Ling Chuan was at a loss: "Who is Shi Xing? What do you want from me?"

Xiao Taohong leaned close to Ling Chuan's ear and said, "Shi Xing is the commander of the Central City Military Division. He is the immediate superior of the man who was arm-in-arm with Zhao when that man came to smash the store last time."

Ling Chuan frowned, it sounded like he had bad intentions, but Xiao Taohong added: "His father is Shi Qian, the right prime minister of the dynasty."

"hiss……"

Ling Chuan glanced at An Jie subconsciously. It was a bit strange that the son of the Left Prime Minister came to visit, and the son of the Right Prime Minister also came.

So he bowed to An Jie and said, "Brother An, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the people from the military department to come to my house. I have to go and take a look."

An Jie stood up and said, "Brother Ling, don't panic. I am willing to go with you."

Ling Chuan's legs paused as he was about to take a step forward. Wasn't this gesture of goodwill a little too obvious?

Shi Xing was looking around with interest. When he saw Ling Chuan coming out, he was about to say hello when he saw An Jie and his wife following closely behind.

"This must be Mr. Ling, the owner of Yunfuji?"

Ling Chuan bowed and said, "That's right."

"Greetings to Brother An and Madam An. I didn't expect that Master Ling and Brother An and Madam An also have a relationship. It seems that I have come to the right place today."

"I wonder what advice you have for me, Lord Shi, as you come here today?"

"Shi..." Shi Xing just said two words and waved his hand impatiently: "Alas... I am a warrior, so I won't talk about these flowery words. I heard that Yunfuji's dim sum is delicious, so I came here to buy some dim sum."

Then he looked at An Jie again: "Brother An, Mrs. An, are you here to sell snacks too?"

An Jie was immediately stumped by Shi Xing's question. His father said he wanted to make friends with Ling Chuan. He had originally come here today just to say hello and leave. After all, it was not good to be too deliberate. One has to take it slow when making friends.

But Shi Xing was also here, which made things a little strange, so An Jie nodded and said, "To be honest with you, Brother Shi, I was just greedy for a while, so I came here to buy some snacks and chat with Brother Ling."

"Ahahaha, it seems that we have similar interests. I also like this, so I came here specifically to buy some snacks." Shi Xing said and looked at Ling Chuan: "By the way, I want to apologize to Master Ling."

Ling Chuan watched the two of them exchange false politeness, but he didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to himself: "How dare I, Sir Shi, if you have something to say, just say it."

Shi Xing laughed awkwardly again and moved closer to Ling Chuan: "Speaking of which, it's my fault for not being strict with my subordinates. A few days ago, my subordinate had some unpleasantness with Master Ling in your store, and I apologized to Master Ling on his behalf."

Seeing Shi Xing bowing to him seriously, Ling Chuan hurriedly supported him and said, "I don't deserve it. It's just a misunderstanding. How dare I ask Lord Shi to apologize? If Lord Shi is free, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"

"Okay, okay, I'm thirsty too, so I'll ask Master Ling for a cup of tea."

"Master Shi, please come in. Brother An and Madam An, please come in."

Ling Chuan led the two of them inside, and did not forget to order: "Xia Miao, pack some snacks for the two adults."

Actually, to be honest, Ling Chuan was a little flattered at the moment. The two sons of the prime minister's family had no relationship with him at all, but today they came to his house at the same time to try to get close to him?

However, Ling Chuan was also a sociable person, and An Jie and Shi Xing were both in the officialdom. After a few words, they started talking and even had a very lively conversation for a while.

In fact, both An Jie and Shi Xing had originally planned to invite Ling Chuan for a drink and a meal after they had finished chatting, but they both gave up the idea because they were concerned about each other. After chatting for a while, they each got up and said goodbye.

Ling Chuan naturally had to see the guests off, and he presented each of them with a large bag of pastries.

One of them refused, and the other wanted to pay, but they were both stopped by Ling Chuan: "It's rare that you two brothers think highly of me. I will consider these snacks as a token of my appreciation. How can I ask you two brothers to pay for it?"

An Jie immediately said, "Since Brother Ling said so, I would be disrespectful to refuse."

Shi Xing also said, "Yes, yes, yes. I appreciate your kindness, Brother Ling. But next time I come to sell snacks, you have to charge me."

The politeness between the few people in front of the shop may seem normal, but in the eyes of someone paying close attention, it is completely different.

The man with ulterior motives is Zhao Zecheng, the Earl of Yongning. Yesterday, his son said he wanted to do business with Ling Chuan, so he was worried that Ling Chuan would set a trap for his son, so he wanted to check Ling Chuan's background.

Originally, Zhao Zecheng's position was something that many people were concerned about. In addition, his negligence for three years resulted in him being demoted by one level. Zhao Zecheng has been walking on thin ice for the past two years.

His son had been idle all this time, but suddenly he became ambitious. It was hard not to become suspicious, so Zhao Zecheng planned to meet Ling Chuan in person.

As a result, he saw from afar that at the entrance of Yunfu Ji, Ling Chuan was having such a close relationship with the sons of the two prime ministers on the left and right, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
