On the day of leaving for home, Bai Zhaozhao saw Su Ling who was also leaving. Shizi An did not come out to see her off. She glanced at Bai Zhaozhao calmly and indifferently, then got on the carriage and left, as if with a sense of determination.

Then Bai Zhaozhao saw an unexpected person, Wang Jinnian.

He was dressed in blue, tall and handsome, riding on a horse, looking at her with a smile.

Chuncao said, "Princess, I heard that Wang Shaoqing was passing through Linyang on his way back to the capital, so I asked him to escort the young lady back!"

Bai Zhaozhao: ...

Wang Jinnian looked at the string of carriages and a dozen guards and servants, and asked curiously, "Miss Zhaozhao has so many things?"

Bai Zhaozhao ignored him and got into the carriage.

The very next day after Bai Zhaozhao left, Liu Yunshan returned exhausted.

After listening to his report, Prince An learned that Lord Wu had been executed and his father's men had replaced him as governor.

Finally, Liu Yunshan sighed, "It was God's blessing. I thought you were in danger and was about to expose myself to find you when I met that girl!"

Prince An asked in confusion: "So you gave that letter to Su Ling?"

"Su Ling? Her name is also Su Ling?"

"also?"

Shizi An had an indescribable feeling, as if the truth was about to be revealed.

Liu Yunshan said, "I don't know her name. She calls herself a herbalist, but she must have saved you. I smell your ambergris on her.

She misunderstood that I was the one chasing you, and she even fought with me. I had no choice but to take a gamble and give her the letter!"

Prince An stood up suddenly, his figure swayed, fighting? Su Ling doesn't know martial arts!

So the person who saved me was not her!

"Prince, what's wrong with you? No matter what, that girl saved us from a desperate situation..."

"Wait a minute." An Shizi interrupted him, "Is that girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, bright and beautiful, and has a shallow dimple on her left cheek when she speaks?"

Liu Yunshan thought about it and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, you do know her! Prince, is her name also Su Ling?"

Prince An's heart was stirred, a wave of sadness surged up, and he laughed at himself: "Hahaha, her name is not Su Ling, her name is, Bai Zhaozhao!"

What a twist of fate! Bai Zhaozhao chose to clarify, but Su Ling chose to lie, even though they were both mistaken by each other!

At this moment, Shizi An felt that he did not seem to really know Su Ling. Her love for him was not only rational but also exploitative and scheming, and now it was also deceitful, so she left decisively!

Sure enough, what my mother said was right, Su Ling was not suitable for him!

Bai Zhaozhao is different. She has an admirable frankness and tenacity.

No wonder Bai Zhaozhao said that she didn't owe him anything! She really didn't want to have anything to do with him! That's right, being a concubine was a humiliation to her!

Prince An took a deep breath and said to Liu Yunshan, "Please help me with something."

Liu Yunshan: “Yes!”

On the broad official road.

Bai Zhaozhao's convoy was on the road, and Wang Jinnian talked to her from time to time.

"Miss Zhaozhao, I have already hinted to the people in the government office to take good care of the strong man who slandered you in Qingquan Temple."

Bai Zhaozhao: Are you trying to vent my anger? Haha, thank you! If you have the guts, go find Su Ling!

"I'm very curious, why does the Su County Lady dislike you? Could it be that you stole her lover?"

Bai Zhaozhao: Just be curious!

"I think it might be dangerous if Miss Zhaozhao goes to the capital."

Bai Zhaozhao: Do ​​I need to tell you this?

"So I thought, why not help Miss Zhao Zhao solve this hidden danger first."

Bai Zhaozhao poked his head out of the carriage: "Are you so kind?"

Wang Jinnian approached immediately: "Of course, as long as Miss Zhaozhao is willing to tell me... who your master is!"

Wang Jinnian has thought about it carefully these days. It could be someone else besides He Anyu, so he still has to figure it out.

Bai Zhaozhao snorted coldly and returned to the carriage. Haha, who is my master? Aren't you very smart? Just guess it yourself! Wouldn't it be bad if I was wrong? I also want to know who my master is!

Wang Jinnian felt a little frustrated. He glanced at one of his subordinates. Didn't he say that if he helped the woman solve her problem, she wouldn't be angry anymore?

The subordinate was shocked and didn't know what to say. My Lord, can't you solve the problem first and then take the credit? You deserve to be single!

Finally, in early August, they arrived in Linyang County.

Wang Jinnian separated from Bai Zhaozhao when they were outside the city gate. Before leaving, he handed Bai Zhaozhao a box and said, "This is a meeting gift for you. When you see me in the future, call me Third Uncle, okay?"

He got away with it! Bai Zhaozhao understood clearly that he was ranked third: "Okay, Third Uncle!"

After seeing Wang Jinnian off, Bai Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief. The team entered the provincial capital. Because this year was the year of the big examination, many students came to the provincial capital, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going!

"Zhao Zhao!" Bai Hao shouted when he saw the convoy on the street.

Bai Lin on the side said helplessly: "You shouted before you even knew if it was Sister Zhao in the carriage. You've already called more than a dozen carriages but no one responded to you."

Unexpectedly, Bai Lin just finished speaking when he heard Bai Zhaozhao's voice: "Brother, I'm here!"

The two brothers looked at each other and hurried over to greet them.

When they saw Bai Zhaozhao's team of carriages and horses, they were all stunned. Bai Hao blurted out: "Sister, this can't be your betrothal gift?"

Bai Lin knocked on his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Sister Zhao, go home first!"

As a result, when they arrived at the alley of Bai Mansion, Bai Zhaozhao was also stunned!

A large number of abandoned houses disappeared, replaced by white walls and red tiles, which looked magnificent. The east courtyard had obviously been renovated, and there were many strong laborers working in the west courtyard.

"Girl, come here quickly!" Patriarch Bai and the third uncle and aunt were standing at the gate of the east courtyard, looking at Bai Zhaozhao with a smile.

"Sixth Grandpa!" Bai Zhaozhao ran over.

"You kid, I received a letter ten days ago saying you would be back soon, but you've only just come back now!"

"Hehe." Bai Zhaozhao laughed awkwardly. "I wrote a letter to let you know I was safe when I first arrived in Qinghe County!"

Third Aunt hurriedly said, "That's right, Zhao girl is sensible, otherwise your third uncle would have chased you to Qinghe County. Ever since I heard that you were invited by the princess, your sixth grandfather has been waiting for you in the capital city! Come in and see if your Zhaohe Garden likes it?"

Sure enough, Uncle Bai built a large bamboo forest for her according to the drawings she modified. The maid Chunyu finally found her target and made an account book to organize Bai Zhaozhao's private vault.

After settling down, Bai Zhaozhao walked around. Many places in this mansion were well preserved. After some renovations, the original splendor could still be vaguely seen.

There aren’t that many servants, but the Bai family has already made a change!

Afterwards, Bai Zhaozhao sat down to have lunch with her third uncle's family. She briefly recounted her days in the palace and also told them that the princess wanted to recognize her relatives and would go to the capital after the new year and might stay there for a long time.
