The stunning husband is in love, but she flirts and runs away

"Madam... you should try to persuade the prince... since he couldn't find anyone, he stopped eating, drinking and resting and ended up like this."

Bai Jing was really at a loss, so he asked his wife to come and help.

"Chang Xiu... my son... how did you get yourself into such a miserable state in the past two days?" Seeing this, the wife of Marquis Jingyuan held up her bloodshot and stubbled face and asked in confusion.

Xiao Jue turned his head and looked at his mother, feeling a surge of grievance in his heart: "Mother...why did she choose to leave quietly, leaving me unable to find her?"

Hearing this, Qin patted her son on the back and said, "Chang Xiu...listen to me, let everything take its course, don't force it. What's yours will eventually be yours, and if you force what's not yours, you will only suffer."

"But mother...she is different. She is different from all other women. I can't forget her."

"Son...you have to forget even if you can't..." Qin wiped the tears from his eyes, and continued to persuade him with heartache: "...in two days, you will go to the war with your father. You are a good son of our Xiao family. You have to cheer up and not be trapped by this love affair...Go to the palace and meet your sister before you go to the war...don't let her worry about you."

His mother's words made Xiao Jue feel ashamed instantly.

That’s right, he is a member of the Xiao family.

Now he has to shoulder his responsibilities as a father and for the Jingyuan Marquisate.

After thinking it through, Xiao Jue no longer allowed himself to become decadent.

He forced himself to go into the palace.

But it's not that easy to forget someone.

Not far from the palace gate, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance who was so similar to his Ah Cai.

It's ridiculous.

Now his eye disease is cured.

He then saw that every woman looked very much like his Ah Cai.

Bai Jing: "My Lord...if you delay any longer, the palace gates will be closed when you leave."

Xiao Jue took a deep breath and looked away.

“…That’s all…

Let’s go…”

……

the other side.

Lin Acai walked out of the palace with a worried mood, "Eunuch Xu... In this way, the prince will not..."

Eunuch Xu understood what she meant: "It should be fine now, thanks to Miss Lin's quick thinking and saving herself..."

"Don't say that, eunuch. I want to thank you for your care just now." Having said this, Lin Acai was about to put the high-quality gold hairpin given to her by Concubine Xiao into the hands of Eunuch Xu.

Eunuch Xu was shocked, but he didn't dare to accept it.

Then he quickly refused, "Miss Lin is very insightful and can see everything clearly. I am just giving you some advice on behalf of Concubine Xiao. I dare not ask for such a great achievement and receive such a valuable reward from you."

"But...Eunuch, if you don't want to accept it, I really don't know how to repay you."

Lin Acai was right. Apart from the reward from the imperial concubine, she only had a few dozen taels of loose silver. If she took it out at this time, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of Eunuch Xu.

Eunuch Xu disagreed, and thought of doing a favor, saying, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If the young lady really wants this, when I am out of the palace on business one day, the young lady can treat me to a drink."

Lin Acai: "Then this is the only way...Eunuch Xu must keep his word and not refuse."

"Don't worry, it's a deal and there will be no delay." Eunuch Xu agreed loudly.

After exchanging greetings with Eunuch Xu.

Lin Acai finally got on Li Tingye's carriage.

Li Tingye was particularly shocked when he saw Lin Acai holding the clothes and jewelry box in her arms.

This Miss Lin is actually so highly regarded by Concubine Xiao!

So many things were given to her as a reward.

It seems that the strength of this little girl should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered his mother's instructions before she left.

There happened to be a market not far ahead with lots of new things there. Why not let Miss Lin go with him to go shopping?

By the way, let her buy some of her favorite food to take back.

"Miss Lin...if we go a little further in the carriage, we won't be able to go in. We have to walk. Why don't we get off the carriage and walk now?"

Lin Acai agreed without thinking when she heard it.

It's just right, I can relieve the tension just now.

“…Girl, mother asked you to buy some of your favorite food and bring it back. Please don’t feel embarrassed and make things difficult for me.” Li Tingye said half-truthfully, with a completely playful look on his face.

Lin Acai thought, what's there to be embarrassed about? I spent all my own money, "Okay, Mr. Li, please lead the way."

After getting off the carriage and walking for a while, Lin Acai realized that the road was quite long.

People were walking in groups of three or four, mostly women or young ladies from wealthy families, with maids and old women carrying things by their sides.

There are shops on both sides of the street.

She couldn't help but look at each room carefully.

I found that there were not only cosmetics shops, pastry shops, teahouses, restaurants, gambling houses, but even storytelling shops.

When Lin Acai saw this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It is indeed the Kyoto city that everyone longs for!

This was incomparable to the Yaohe Town and the county market she had visited before.

Every shop here has a huge flow of customers coming in and out.

Lin Acai counted carefully and found that seven people went into this pastry shop alone in a short time. Four of them came out carrying two large bags of pastries, and the remaining three also carried at least one bag of food from the shop.

Seeing this, Lin Acai suddenly became interested.

Walk…

Come in and take a look!

Take a look at the pastry shops in Kyoto City. What makes them so special compared to those in Harukawa Town?

Just think of it as exploring the pastry market in Kyoto City for Miss Xue in advance.

As a result, she came out in a lack of interest after just a short while.

He shook his head as he walked.

Tch, what?

This pastry shop looks just like that, nothing special about it.

She looked at the bag of pastries in her hand with disdain. She had taken great pains to pick out this bag from among the unappetizing-looking pastries.

So after coming out of the pastry shop, she had a very proud look on her face.

She thought, if she wrote a letter to Miss Xue about this good news, with her quick and decisive personality, would she be happy to get started right away and open the pastry shop in the capital?

Li Tingye stared at Lin Acai's absent-minded smile, and he also lost his mind unconsciously.

What's wrong with Miss Lin?

Why are you so happy?

Thinking of this, Li Tingye couldn't help but ask curiously: "Miss Lin, did you encounter any happy things? Why don't you tell me so that I can be happy too."

Lin Acai: "Nothing... I own a pastry shop in Yaohe Town that I opened with someone else. I think the pastries I make are better than those in Kyoto City."

"..."

what?

This Miss Lin actually has a pastry shop?

She can even make her own cakes!

What else is there that she can't do?

Thinking of this, Li Tingye suddenly became interested: "What kind of cake is that? It can actually surpass the cakes in Kyoto City..."
