The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

The shop returned to Tu Ling's hands, and the management would also fall into Tu Ling's hands. Yang Jin left the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and thought about countermeasures on the way back to Xia Mansion.

Yang Jin had to send people to warn those managers first, otherwise if Tu Ling forced him to reveal the profits of these years, it would be very troublesome if he came to the Xia Mansion to cause trouble again.

Xia Yanxiang was not in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion today because she needed to see Mo Yuchen for something.

"What's going on?" Mo Yuchen read the letter from Xia Yanxiang and hurried to Shangyaotang.

Xia Yanxiang looked around and asked, "Who is the guard you brought today?"

Mo Yuchen immediately understood what Xia Yanxiang meant: "I only brought Yizhu here, the other four are all in the mansion."

But on second thought, who would be so brave as to sneak into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and steal the jade pendant that Xia Yanxiang was wearing!

Fortunately, Xia Yanxiang had made all the necessary preparations, but unfortunately, she didn't catch the person: "I went to the Xia Mansion two days ago and brought a fake jade pendant. There were many people in the Xia Mansion, but it was difficult to do anything."

"Although it's easy to check people in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, most of them are people the Tu family can trust." Xia Yanxiang checked them one by one, "You only have one secret guard in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yukui is with him day and night."

"He Yuan and the others have been busy these days. Who stole the jade pendant?" Mo Yuchen was worried that someone would steal the jade pendant, so he kept sending these four people to do things, and also to see who would put down their job and reveal their true colors.

Unexpectedly, not only did nothing go wrong, but Yanyan's jade pendant was still stolen.

Xia Yanxiang had tried her best to pay attention to the people around her and had also instructed Yu Kui and An Zhi Ting Lan, but she didn't expect that the jade pendant was still stolen.

Fortunately, Xia Yanxiang had made preparations in advance and had hidden the real jade pendant long ago.

"It's okay. I've already poisoned the fake jade pendant. The poison isn't fatal, but it will cause itching all over the skin, swelling all over the body, especially on the hands and face, and red spots will appear." Xia Yanxiang snorted. It was good that she didn't use a fatal poison. "He stole it yesterday. The poison should take effect around tonight. You should pay attention."

"Yes." Mo Yuchen agreed with a bad look on his face, "Could it be a fake jade pendant?"

"Don't worry, I found a reliable craftsman. It is almost impossible to detect it except for those who wear it all year round." Xia Yanxiang had made all the preparations long ago, and even deliberately left a loophole, but she didn't expect that the person was still not caught.

Mo Yuchen nodded: "That's good."

"As for the matter of Prince Yu and Prince Wei choosing concubines, since the emperor has already exiled the family of the Minister of Justice to Lingnan, I'm afraid the queen will not let them go."

Of course Xia Yanxiang knew what kind of personality the queen had. The queen didn't care whether the family of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice had messed up the selection of the concubine on purpose or not.

How could the Queen not be angry after losing this great opportunity to restrain Prince Wei? The family of the Vice Minister of Justice just happened to be caught in the crossfire, and the Queen would definitely not spare their lives.

"I have sent people to secretly protect the family of the Minister of Justice. They will be useful in the future."

Xia Yanxiang nodded. Since the serious business had been discussed, she prepared to go home.

"Yan Yan!" Mo Yuchen quickly stood up and called Xia Yanxiang, fearing that Xia Yanxiang was about to leave.

Xia Yanxiang turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Mo Yuchen hesitated to speak, which made Xia Yanxiang a little confused, so she asked again: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Mo Yuchen swallowed his saliva, but still didn't say it out loud, "You...be careful in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and take care of yourself."

Xia Yanxiang didn't understand why Mo Yuchen said such useless words, but she still agreed: "I understand."

Suddenly, Xia Yanxiang remembered something and reminded Mo Yuchen, "The jade pendant was stolen. Someone will definitely bring up the matter of the national treasury in the near future. Then the fact that your jade pendant is missing will surely be revealed. You...be careful."

After Xia Yanxiang finished speaking, she walked out.

Mo Yuchen clenched his fist, but couldn't help it. He took two big steps forward and grabbed Xia Yanxiang's hand: "Yan Yan!"

Before Xia Yanxiang could react, a strong scent of sinking water suddenly became suffused. It turned out that Mo Yuchen was hugging her.

"Yan Yan, wait a moment." It was the first time that Mo Yuchen was so rude, his voice was low and hoarse.

Xia Yanxiang didn't understand Mo Yuchen's actions, but she did as she was told and patted Mo Yuchen on the shoulder.

Mo Yuchen also knew that he was being rude, but he didn't want to care about so much today. He just wanted to stay with Xia Yanxiang for a while.

"Otherwise, I'll ask my father to issue an order for us to get married first?" Mo Yuchen laughed softly and proposed this idea as if it were a joke.

"Get married first?" Even though Xia Yanxiang knew that she would marry Mo Yuchen, she never thought that the marriage was just around the corner.

Mo Yuchen collected his thoughts and let go of Xia Yanxiang: "I was joking. The current situation is not suitable for marriage."

"Besides, even if we want to get married, I still have to discuss it with my uncle and mother-in-law. Before the marriage was granted, my uncle and eldest uncle had already agreed to it, but I put our marriage out in the open without permission, which is not good enough. We must be cautious when it comes to marriage."

Xia Yanxiang was speechless. She didn't expect that Mo Yuchen would be thinking about these things at this moment.

Mo Yuchen saw Xia Yanxiang's helpless expression and smiled helplessly: "I have finally built up all these years, so what's wrong with me thinking about starting a family now?"

"Speaking of foundation, Your Highness Prince Luo, you must be careful. The jade pendant has been stolen, and I'm afraid the foundation will be unstable." Mo Yuchen started joking, and Xia Yanxiang naturally joked as well.

Seeing that Xia Yanxiang didn't notice the meaning of his words at all, Mo Yuchen had no choice but to continue speaking: "Don't worry, I will leave Princess Luo with enough capital to be a widow in the future."

"..." The more he spoke, the worse his manner became!

"Even if something happens in the future, I will leave a way out for Princess Luo." Mo Yuchen was not joking.

To seek the skin of a tiger is to die. Mo Yuchen had been prepared for death since he decided to get up. If it weren't for the accident that year, Mo Yuchen would have thrown himself into it wholeheartedly.

From that time on, Mo Yuchen no longer just thought about fighting against the imperial power, but began to prepare a way out.

Not only for himself, but also for another person.

"..."Xia Yanxiang didn't want to pay any attention to Mo Yuchen at all, the King Luo who always said sweet words to her from time to time.

It's strange to say, Mo Yuchen always likes to say these words to make Xia Yanxiang speechless, as if this makes him very happy: "Okay, I'll send someone to escort you back."

"No need, just go back in a hurry and don't pay too much attention to me. It's a big deal to let people know that your jade pendant is gone." Xia Yanxiang rejected Mo Yuchen's suggestion.

Mo Yuchen had no choice but to give up: "Yan Yan, you really don't understand romance."
