After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Yun Zhong calmly shook his head: "We can't just make a hasty judgment based on their resemblance. Miss Lin is obviously not the daughter of an ordinary family. She might be a daughter of some other family. When investigating this matter, we should take a long-term view and not act on emotion."

Song Rao bit her lip and nodded.

"I'll help your mother go back to her room to rest. You go and arrange Miss Lin's meals and the carriage for her return trip." Yun Zhong looked at Yun Li and instructed.

"I understand, Dad." Yun Li agreed and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

……

Inside the house, Lin Shuning rubbed his dizzy and swollen head, got up, opened the window, and after taking two deep breaths of the cold air outside, he regained some consciousness.

From the scenery outside the window, as well as the horses tied downstairs and the parked carriages, one can guess that she should be in an inn not far from the capital.

Who are this family?

Wait, Madam Yun...

Could it be the family of General Yun Zhong?

Lin Shuning was shocked by her own thought. If it was true, then the middle-aged man and woman she just saw were Yun Sheng’s parents, and the man who kidnapped her was Yun Sheng’s biological brother?

But when the great general returns to the capital, shouldn't there be loud drums and gongs, and people lining the streets to welcome him? Why is he so low-key, even condescending to stay in this simple inn?

Perhaps because her mind was fuzzy, Lin Shuning had not figured out the clues yet. However, she vaguely felt that it would be better for them not to reveal their identities to each other, so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

Just then, there were two knocks on the door.

"Come in." Lin Shuning came back to his senses and sat down at the table.

Yun Li came in with food in his hand. "This is the dinner my mother asked the kitchen to prepare for you. Please eat some. After you finish eating, I will send you back to the capital. But please keep your visit here a secret."

Lin Shuning took a sip of porridge and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not a big mouth, but..."

She blinked, revealing a row of neatly-lined teeth. "You still have to pay the hush money. After all, you are taking money from people to help them avoid disaster. You understand this principle without me having to tell you."

Yun Li's face turned blue and purple.

Mother is really confused. How could such a cunning woman be his sister?

He took out a purse from his waist and threw it on the table with a "bang": "Is that enough?"

Lin Shuning weighed it with his hand and smiled with satisfaction: "That's enough, I'm done, let's go."

She stood up and walked out the door. Yun Li chased after her and asked, "You finished eating so soon?"

"I can't eat anymore," Lin Shuning rubbed his stomach, "I still feel nauseous."

The aftereffects of this "air transport" are really too serious.

Yun Li laughed out loud, took out a leaf from his arms and handed it to her.

Lin Shuning looked suspicious: "What is this?"

"Smell and see."

Lin Shuning frowned and put the leaf under his nose and smelled it.

A refreshing fragrance suddenly surged into the body like a tide, instantly alleviating the discomfort in the stomach and even the dizziness in the head was swept away.

"Is this Zi Fuye?" Lin Shuning raised his eyes to look at him.

Yun Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Shuning would recognize this thing that only grows on the border: "It's purple lotus leaves. The smell of this leaf can control dizziness."

"Then why do you carry such a thing with you?"

"You don't think that people who are good at Qinggong won't get dizzy, do you?"

Lin Shuning: …

Are you guys dizzy too?

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the inn.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Shuning curiously lifted the curtain and looked outside. From afar, he saw a thin and tall figure walking towards the room they had just left. Unfortunately, before he could see what he looked like, the carriage had already started moving.

When they reached the gate of the capital, Yun Li used the same trick again, carrying Lin Shuning directly into the closed city gate: "Okay, I'll take you here, can you go home by yourself?"

Lin Shuning rolled his eyes: "I'm not a child who doesn't know the way."

"That's good." Yun Li smiled, and his figure flashed and disappeared.

Lin Shuning walked along the path towards the main street, and suddenly a familiar voice called out from behind him.

"Miss San, Miss San, are you okay?"

Ye Mu's tone was panic. As soon as he saw Lin Shuning, he immediately tiptoed to her and checked her up and down. After confirming that she was indeed not hurt, he exhaled and said, "Miss San, I have searched the entire Zuisheng Building but couldn't find you. Where have you been?"

Looking at the thin layer of sweat on her forehead, Lin Shuning felt a little guilty: "I... I'm fine, I just met an acquaintance and went out for a walk with him. Don't be nervous. I'm sorry, the scene was chaotic and it was difficult to inform you. I..."

"How can I not be nervous?" Ye Mu interrupted her, looking concerned, "If anything happens to you, Third Miss, I don't know how to explain it to the master."

"He cares about me so much?" Lin Shuning's eyes flashed. "Speaking of which, I have always wanted to ask you something. I have already detoxified His Royal Highness Prince Rui, so why did he still send you to protect me?"

Ye Mu scratched her head. How could this be a question she could answer?

"Miss San, you should ask the Lord about this matter."

"Okay," Lin Shuning shrugged and smiled faintly, "It's not a bad thing to have someone protecting you anyway. Relax. There's no need to let His Royal Highness Prince Rui know what happened today. This is my private matter. Just treat it as... a little secret between the two of us."

She blinked at Ye Mu, and the corners of her eyes formed a crescent moon.

Ye Mu looked at Lin Shuning like this, and his usually serious face began to smile unconsciously.

She nodded and said, "Yes."

……

Lin Shuning went straight back to the Shangshu Mansion.

Along the way, she was thinking about what Haitang said to her today.

Since Wang tortured Ma Ma to the point of turning her into a living dead, it means that Ma Ma must have held key clues related to her life experience. Only in this way would Wang, who was afraid that the truth would be exposed, keep her mouth shut after she was driven out of the Shangshu Mansion by Lin Cheng.

If you want to find further clues... Lin Shuning's eyes flashed.
