"No, I'm going to go to Lingyu Pavilion after daybreak to pick out some fine jewelry for Siqi's dowry."

"Mother." Xia Siqi lowered her eyes shyly.

The Imperial Censor breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. When you marry into the General's Mansion, don't be as willful as you are at home. Take good care of General Lu."

"Daddy." Xia Siqi's cheeks turned even redder.

"Okay, okay, stop talking. Our Siqi is shy." Mrs. Lu said softly.

When Lu Zhaofeng returned home, he was humming a little tune and walking with a breeze.

"Brother, why haven't you rested yet so late?"

Seeing that there was still light in Lu Zhaolin's room, he pushed the door and walked in.

"came back."

Lu Zhaolin raised his head in the direction of the world's sound.

"Congratulations, second brother. After all these twists and turns, you finally got together with Miss Xia."

Lu Zhaofeng scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "But brother, you haven't married yet, it seems inappropriate for me, as your younger brother, to arrange your marriage."

"There are not so many clichéd rules. Our family doesn't believe in them." Lu Zhaolin's eyes were indifferent: "Besides, I have never planned to get married."

"What? Brother, what did you say in the second sentence? I didn't hear it clearly." Lu Zhaofeng asked in surprise.

"No." Lu Zhaolin's expression relaxed for a moment: "We have been outside for so long, and it is getting late now. Go back and have a rest quickly. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

"Brother, don't stay up too late. Go to bed early."

Lu Zhaolin nodded at him silently.

The moment Lu Zhaofeng left.

Lu Zhaolin's face completely fell.

The next morning.

Mrs. Xia took Xia Siqi to Lingyu Pavilion early in the morning.

Just as she reached the door, Mrs. Xia suddenly stopped.

The entrance of Lingyu Pavilion was crowded with guards.

"Have you heard, the owner of Lingyu Pavilion, that our royal items in the sky have been seized by the government?"

"It can't be fake, right? How could this royal item be circulated among the people?"

"I heard a piece of news, I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that the owner of Lingyu Pavilion has a close relationship with the eldest prince."

"The eldest prince? Isn't he the queen's son? The emperor's eldest son is also his legitimate son. So who knows if the position of crown prince will be held by this eldest prince in the future?"

"This may be someone deliberately trying to frame him. The eldest prince would never steal the royal items and sell them in Lingyu Pavilion."

“Could it be that the boss of this field stole it himself?”

"It's hard to say..."

At this moment, a guard came over.

"Alright, alright, make way and disperse. There's nothing to do. Go do whatever you want."

Madam Xia and Xia Siqi looked at each other.

Madam Xia said solemnly, "We bought a gem from this place before and gave it to Concubine Shu. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"It shouldn't be possible. How could it be such a coincidence?" Xia Siqi said calmly, but she was also nervous.

"That gem looks so special, not an ordinary thing. If it is something from the palace, we must not cause trouble for Concubine Shu." Madam Xia's face was full of worry.

"Mother, this gem has been delivered for so long. If there really was any problem, it would have been discovered long ago. Besides, we only bought it from Lingyu Pavilion. Do you still have the receipt for purchasing the gem?" Xia Siqi asked.
