My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

"That's good." Shao Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

No one knew what he was doing when he left Beijing, but it was not an easy task. He knew it would not be easy, so he was on high alert. Now with her reminder, he would be even more careful.

"Madam, did you come here specially just to remind me of this matter?"

Isn't this a very important matter? Isn't it worth the trip?

Lin Yulan was slightly surprised and nodded quickly: "My Lord, please remember this!"

Shao Xun laughed happily, "I will, otherwise I will be letting Madam down."

"It's good that the Marquis knows..." Lin Yulan was halfway through her sentence when she realized that his words seemed a little too ambiguous. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she coughed and swallowed the second half of her sentence. She hesitantly said, "I should go back now. I won't delay the Marquis's journey. I wish the Marquis a safe journey."

"I'll take you back to the city," Shao Xun smiled, "Don't refuse. This won't delay anything for a while. Madam is fine too, waiting for me to come back."

Lin Yulan was about to speak, but Shao Xun chuckled, "Don't refuse me, don't worry."

Lin Yulan smiled and nodded.

Wait till he comes back...

One day, he would be able to openly express his feelings and keep her by his side.

Of course, he would make her stay willingly.

He would let her know that no one in this world could treat her better than him.

Shao Xun sent Lin Yulan and several guards to the city gate. He left the capital on an imperial mission and could not return without getting any results, so it was not appropriate for him to go back to the city.

He ordered someone to hire a carriage, and after watching her get in and leave, he reluctantly parted with her.

Shao Xun turned his horse around, whipped it and shouted, and rode away at lightning speed, soon leaving the towering gates of the capital behind him. His heart was filled with surging passion, and he was in high spirits, with a big grin on his face.

Today is a good day to travel far and return with honor after achieving success.

Lin Yulan had just returned to the Marquis' Mansion when she ran into Fu again.

She sighed inwardly: What a bad luck this year is!

But this is easy to understand. She asked for a horse and rushed out of the house regardless of anything. It was impossible that no one reported it to Mrs. Fu. How could Mrs. Fu miss such a good opportunity to find fault with her and scold her?

"Lin! You are a marquis' wife, what on earth did you do? What do you mean? You don't care about yourself, but you also care about the reputation of the marquis' mansion! How shameless!"

Before Lin Yulan could even open her mouth, Fu started scolding her.

Lin Yulan lowered her eyes and whispered, "...Second Aunt, calm down. I was just worried about the Marquis and wanted to see him again and tell him a few words. I couldn't help it and chased him out. The Marquis also scolded me."

Fu: “…”

She looked at Lin Yulan strangely and sneered, "I didn't realize you have such deep feelings for the Marquis. This man must have already left the city gate, but you still chased him. You still have the nerve to say that. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Ha!"

Lin Yulan said nothing.

It's a joke, but what's the big deal?

The young couple suddenly separated. She missed her husband so much that she couldn't control her impulse. Even if others wanted to laugh at her, they could do so.

Fu was too lazy to ask what she talked about when she met Shao Xun. It was just those useless love affairs. She didn't want to hear those brainless and corny words.

"I heard that you are doing something to make a living now?"

Lin Yulan was slightly startled.

The Fu family is really well-informed.

Since she had found out about this, she probably knew what she was doing.

"Yes," Lin Yulan smiled and said casually, "I accidentally drank wine a while ago. I thought it tasted a little sweet and very good, and it also had a very special fragrance. The color was like amber, very bright and beautiful, so I stockpiled some, firstly to keep it for myself to drink slowly, and secondly, if I can sell it at a high price in the future, I can make a few taels of silver."

Fu was skeptical: "Is that all? Could it be that Shao Xun knew something and that's why he asked you to store it?"

"What is Second Aunt talking about?" Lin Yulan was very surprised: "How could the Marquis know all this?"

Fu choked and said, that’s true.

"Then why did you suddenly think of hoarding so much? Aren't you afraid of getting a bad deal?"

"Just smash it. Anyway, I didn't intend to sell it. It's wine, nothing else. It won't go bad if I keep it for many years. If I can't finish it in the future, I can give some to relatives and friends."

Fu: “…”

Lin Yulan: "If Second Aunt likes it, why not buy some and stockpile it. Maybe the price will go up in the future, and then you can still make some money even if you don't like it."

Fu snorted, looking down upon the remark.

After Lin Yulan said this, Fu Shi suddenly lost all interest in this matter. She didn't believe that Lin Yulan would really give her advice out of kindness.

Since Lin Yulan said so, it must be true - it would be fine if she was just fooling around, but she was dreaming about dragging her into it.

She is not stupid. She has to keep her money carefully and not take risks with it.

She snorted at Lin Yulan in a sarcastic tone, "I'm not like you, the wife of the Marquis of Wuwei. You're so majestic and have a rich family. You have a lot of money in your hands and you can do whatever you want with it. I wish I could split my money into eight pieces to supplement my family expenses!"

Lin Yulan smiled.

She did not hide anything that Fu asked, and was very kind to suggest that she buy some as well, so that if she regretted it in the future, it would not be her fault.

Fu said coldly, "As the wife of a marquis, you went out without regard for propriety. The old lady is very unhappy. I will punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days. You don't have to go back to Chunhui Garden. You will leave now."

Fu said as she instructed the two maids beside her: "You guys take the Marquis's wife over there. Make sure you watch her go in before you leave."

As soon as the voice fell, a noble family member came running over in a hurry, "Madam! Madam! It's bad! Aunt Zhang is making a fuss, and the servants dare not touch her. You see..."

Lin Yulan: "Second Aunt, when the Marquis left, he asked me to take good care of Aunt Zhang. I have to go back first. The Marquis also said something about today's matter. He said that no matter what the old lady or the second aunt wants me to do, I should leave it for now and wait for him to come back. I think the old lady or the second aunt will not give the Marquis this face, right?"

"You——" Fu glared at her fiercely and sneered: "Go and talk to the old lady yourself."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll go after I've appeased Auntie Zhang."

"Humph!"

Lin Yulan returned to Chunhui Garden. It took Nanny Zhang half a day to "comfort" her. It was not until the evening that she went to Yanshou Hall to pay her respects.

Since Shao Xun had spoken, no matter how angry and furious Mrs. Shao was, she still gave Lin Yulan face.
