Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiao Lan planned to rest in Shen's house for a night before going back. Shen's house had already prepared a room for her. She had been running around and fighting all the way. She knew it was safe here, but the fighting consciousness in her body was still hidden in her body. When Shen Liu came to see Xiao Lan, before he could touch Xiao Lan, she kicked him. Fortunately, Shen Liu was in good health. Although he was recovering from illness, his reaction was not slow at all. He fell back and avoided it. If Xiao Lan had kicked him hard, even if his bones were broken, he would have vomited blood.

Shen Liu sat on the ground, staring blankly at Xiao Lan on the bed.

Xiao Lan opened her eyes dazedly, glanced at Shen Liu, and after making sure she was safe, she opened her eyes a crack and immediately closed them again. She then threw back the quilt and continued to fall asleep on the bed.

The maids and servants waiting outside the door heard the noise and pushed the door open. When they saw Shen Liu sitting on the ground, they were about to exclaim, but he stopped them. Shen Liu was helped up and stood by the bed, looking at Xiao Lan for a long time. Finally, he stretched out his finger and poked her cheek, then quickly retracted his finger. After waiting for a while, he saw that she didn't react, so he knew that the alarm on his side was lifted.

Then Shen Liu was helped by the little girl and left. He knew that although he and Xiao Lan were engaged, engagement was not marriage, and if he stayed here for too long, it would affect the reputation of the girl.

The Shen family prepared dinner tonight in vain, because Xiaolan, He Mingyu and Shen Ada did not eat. After they washed up, they returned to their rooms and fell asleep. Even when it was time for dinner, the three of them did not wake up. Seeing that the three of them were sleeping soundly, Shen Liu did not ask anyone to wake them up and let them sleep.

Xiao Lan slept for a whole day and two nights before waking up. She was woken up by hunger. When Xiao Lan woke up, she looked around the room for a long time before she remembered that she was still in the Shen Mansion.

Upon learning that Xiao Lan had woken up, Third Grandma Shen prepared the meal. Seeing her coming over, she smiled and said, "Well, you finally woke up. Lord Shen and Lord He woke up a long time earlier than you... I was just saying, if you don't wake up, should I arrange for someone to wake you up, so that you don't sleep too much and get a headache."

Xiao Lan took a look at the dining table. It was filled with dishes. In the middle was a whole chicken being stewed. The chicken broth was oily, clear and transparent. Surrounding the chicken broth were braised lamb, braised beef brisket, four-happiness meatballs, stir-fried rapeseed, braised carp and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Xiao Lan's mouth was watering. If she counted carefully, she hadn't had a proper hot meal for six or seven days. Grandma Shen San served her a bowl of chicken soup and said, "You've been hungry for two days, and you've been eating dry food before. I thought you should have two light meals first, but I heard from Shen Ada and He Mingyu that there's no need to do that. Sixth Master also said that he would cook whatever you like, so I asked the kitchen to make these. But before you eat, you have to drink a bowl of chicken soup to warm your stomach."

"Grandma Shen San, I'm not a precious person. Why do I need to eat too light a meal?" Although Xiao Lan said this, she still took the chicken soup from Grandma Shen San's hand and drank it all. Who doesn't like the feeling of being cared for?

"This chicken soup is really delicious. I must drink more to replenish my body." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

Shen Liu looked at Xiao Lan and said with a smile, "If you like to drink, drink more. Eat slowly. Don't be in a hurry. We just had lunch..."

At this time, Xiao Lan noticed the time and found that it was already past noon. Shen Liu must have come here specially to accompany her.

Xiao Lan smiled and buried her head in her meal. Xiao Lan was really hungry. Even with the chicken soup, it didn't help. The food on the table was very tasty to her. She ate the whole chicken in the end. Although she ate quickly, her manners were still elegant and not rude. However, her appetite really made Shen Liu look at her with a bit of awe.

Grandma Shen San was even more exaggerated. She looked at Xiao Lan's belly and saw that it was still flat. Looking closely, she could still see that it was a little bulging than before, but it was not too obvious...

Shen San also came with his wife to accompany the guests. Seeing the silly expression of Shen San's grandmother, he couldn't help but chuckle. When he saw Shen Liu and Xiao Lan looking over, he quickly pulled Shen San's grandmother up and said, "Since Miss Xiao Lan is full, you can talk about business. We will go back first."

The two of them moved to the study, and Shen Ada came over with a stern face, "Sixth Master, the spy has been found."

A hint of fierceness flashed in Shen Liu's eyes. He nodded slightly, then lowered his eyes to stare at the teacup in his hand. He was in danger of poisoning. How many people would want him to be in his current position?

Xiao Lan was not comfortable hearing these things, so she used the excuse that she had been away from home for so many days and her family must be worried about her safety, so she left the Shen Mansion. In fact, when she just came out of the mountains, the Shen family had already sent someone to the Sheng family to report that they were safe. The reason why Xiao Lan said this was just because she didn't want to hear these secrets. She thought, if her family was not too deeply involved with the Shen family, even if Shen Liu was in trouble, she would not go to such a dangerous place in the mountains.

Xiaolan's family had lived in the capital for a while. Seeing Xiaolan return safely, Zhang hugged her daughter and cried bitterly. Sheng Xuan also said, "It's good that you are okay. You, kid, don't be so fierce in the future."

After resting for half a month, Shen Liu led his men to the capital. On the one hand, he had to report the war of the Hu people moving south to the emperor in person. On the other hand, he had to tell another member of the Shen family about his marriage in person, and that person was the queen.

In order to come back earlier, Shen Liu deliberately shortened his itinerary and reduced the number of his entourage, but his idea was tactfully rejected by He Mingyu and Shen Ada. After all, the Hu people had just been defeated not long ago. Although the overall situation has stabilized now, Shen Liu's body has not recovered yet, so he must be on guard against others. It is impossible for Shen Liu to streamline the staff this time when he goes to Beijing.

Before leaving, Shen Liu also found an opportunity to meet Xiao Lan. Since Xiao Lan returned to Sheng's house from Shen's house last time, the two had not met again. After all, he was in a difficult situation at that time, and it was really ridiculous to mention the separation of men and women at that time. But now, the Hu people have been repelled, and the whole city is on the right track, so they naturally have to observe etiquette.
