Lu Qingxi's eyes slowly opened after hearing the noise outside. She raised her head slightly and her eyes fell on Xiao Yuebai who was sitting opposite her. She saw that he was also resting with his eyes closed, as if he was isolated from the noise around him. However, what she didn't know was that in fact, a second before she opened her eyes, Xiao Yuebai was still looking at her from time to time, but when he found that she was about to wake up, he immediately closed his eyes guiltily.

Lu Qingxi glanced at the man opposite for several times, then turned to look at Xiaohuan beside him, and found that the little girl had also fallen asleep. The car suddenly became a little quiet, and Lu Qingxi felt a little bored, and was considering whether to wake Xiaohuan up. At this time, the driver's voice came from outside the car: "Sir, Miss, we are here."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuebai quickly adjusted his expression, pretending to have just woken up, squinting his eyes slightly, then opened them and gave Lu Qingxi a warm smile. "Then let's go out."

Lu Qingxi also responded with a smile.

Xiao Yuebai seemed to be in a trance because of Lu Qingxi's smile. After getting off the carriage, he unconsciously stood at Xiaohuan's position. When Lu Qingxi stretched out her hand, he naturally handed over his hand, gently held it, and carefully led Lu Qingxi out of the carriage.

Lu Qingxi stepped out of the carriage gracefully, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth. The sachet on her waist was originally so inconspicuous, but under the gentle caress of the wind, it faintly revealed a different charm. The sachet seemed to be entangled with the wind, and it slipped from her waist inadvertently and landed lightly on the edge of the carriage. Lu Qingxi did not notice this subtle change, but just continued to move forward, and the sachet, in this natural flow, quietly waited for the moment to be discovered.

Lu Qingxi's attention was immediately attracted by the brand new teahouse in front of him. Above the door hung three large characters "Qingyueju", which looked simple and elegant.

Xiao Yuebai didn't want Lu Qingxi to wait at the door for a long time, so he said, "Let's go in first." He motioned Xiaohuan to take Lu Qingxi into the teahouse. The three of them came to the private room on the third floor, and Xiao Yuebai told Lu Qingxi that he had bought this teahouse not long ago.

Lu Qingxi was curious about why he wanted to buy a teahouse. In fact, the one they had visited before was already a pretty good teahouse in the capital, so it was unclear why he wanted to buy one for himself.

Xiao Yuebai gave two reasons: first, he thought the location here was good and should bring good profits; second, he liked drinking tea and would feel more comfortable if he had his own teahouse.

However, the actual reasons are far more than that. Xiao Yuebai actually had a deeper intention when he bought this teahouse. First of all, he noticed that Lu Qingxi was very skilled in making tea for him last time. It was obvious that she was good at making tea and loved the tea ceremony. Secondly, he needed an intelligence collection point in the capital, and there were many tea lovers among the ministers in the court, so this teahouse became a great place for him to collect intelligence. The last and most important point was that he had asked his sweetheart to come to the Earl's Mansion to find him if she had anything to do, but even if the other party had something to find him, he might be hesitant for various reasons, so this teahouse became a good place for them to pass on information.

At the dinner table, Xiao Yuebai once again let Wuhen put on a good show of misery. Wuhen pretended to be wronged and told the experience of being blamed by the prince when he went to deliver a letter last time, intending to discredit Song Yi's image, and at the same time wanted Lu Qingxi to tell him if there were other places he could communicate with. But in fact, it was not Wuhen who went to deliver the letter, and Xiao Yuebai would never let the people around him appear in front of Song Yi and expose his identity.

But Lu Qingxi didn't know the inside story, and immediately believed it after listening to Wuhen's description. The main reason was that Song Yi was the kind of person who didn't give face to others in the plot, and he was very likely to verbally reprimand others because he felt that the other party was rude. But she didn't think that her cousin was bad because of this matter as Xiao Yuebai thought, after all, the reason why Song Yi did that was probably because he was worried about her.

Thinking that the Duke's Mansion was not really suitable as a place for the two of them to send letters, she told him, as Xiao Yuebai expected, the courtyard that her cousin had bought for her not long ago, which is now the Li Mansion. She roughly described the location so that he could send letters to the Li Mansion in the future. She also reminded him that it was not convenient for her to receive him in the mansion, and hoped that he could understand.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuebai was secretly delighted. He understood Lu Qingxi's concerns, but he was already very satisfied with it.

The afternoon sun shone obliquely into the elegant compartment, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and tea. After Xiao Yuebai and Lu Qingxi finished their lunch, they sat on the cushions. The distance between them was just right, allowing them to talk easily without being too restrained. With a happy smile, Xiao Yuebai began to share with Lu Qingxi some interesting things he had heard recently. He spoke vividly and interestingly, and Lu Qingxi listened with great interest, occasionally revealing a cheerful smile.

During the conversation, Xiao Yuebai accidentally mentioned the topic of women going to temples to seek marriage. He tilted his head slightly and secretly observed Lu Qingxi's reaction. He secretly hoped that the woman next to him would show a shy look because of this topic. However, to his surprise, Lu Qingxi was not as shy as he imagined, but suddenly reached out and gently touched his waist.

The next moment, Lu Qingxi's expression changed slightly. She lowered her head and looked at her waist. Unlike her previous calmness, this time there was a hint of subtle nervousness in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and said with a trembling voice, "What should I do? The sachet my grandmother gave me is gone, and there was a peace amulet in it."

Seeing this, Xiaohuan quickly recalled her experience today, trying to find clues about the possible loss of the sachet. She tried to ease her young lady's nervousness and comforted her: "Don't worry, young lady. I remember I saw the sachet around your waist in the carriage. It may have fallen in the carriage. I will go downstairs to find it now." After that, Xiaohuan hurried downstairs to look for the sachet.

Xiao Yuebai also took action immediately. He quickly sent a few servants to help Xiaohuan find the sachet. He knew that the sachet was of great significance to Lu Qingxi, so he did not dare to neglect it. At the same time, he stayed in the private room and waited for news with Lu Qingxi.

"Don't worry, we will find the sachet." Xiao Yuebai comforted Lu Qingxi in a gentle voice and handed her a cup of hot tea, "Drink some tea to warm yourself up."

Lu Qingxi took the teacup, took a sip, and the anxiety in her heart was slightly relieved.

Xiaohuan walked down from the third floor, her steps brisk but somewhat anxious. Her eyes were like searchlights, carefully scanning every corner, not missing any possible clues. But she didn't see any trace of the sachet along the way.

In the lobby on the first floor, the floor was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had just been wiped. Xiaohuan looked at the scene in front of her and felt a little disappointed.

She was unwilling to give up, so she walked out of the lobby and got on the carriage. The carriage was bright and spacious, and the sunlight shone through the window onto the soft cushions, emitting a faint warmth. Xiaohuan carefully searched every corner, from the seats to the carpets, from the cabinets to the curtains, she did not miss anything. However, no matter how hard she tried, the sachet never appeared.

Xiaohuan's mood became heavier and heavier, and she didn't know what to do. At this moment, she suddenly thought of a possible place - outside the carriage. So, she resolutely jumped out of the carriage and began to search around the carriage.

She walked around the carriage again and again, her eyes lingering on every corner. Finally, next to the inconspicuous wheel of the carriage, she found a familiar figure. She walked over carefully, bent down and picked up the sachet. The sachet was soft and exuded a faint fragrance. It was exactly what she had been looking for.

Xiaohuan was filled with joy. She had finally found the sachet, and the lady didn't have to worry anymore. However, just as she was about to stand up, a sudden shout startled her. The sachet in her hand fell to the ground.

"That girl in front, is that Xiao Huan?" Xiao Huan looked up and saw a woman with noble temperament standing not far away, staring at her with shining eyes. Xiao Huan's eyes widened in surprise, she recognized this woman, it was Princess Lening!
