Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"Han Yuanzheng, there's something I'm not sure whether I should say or not."

"Fifth Prince, please feel free to speak." Han Yuanzheng looked at Xiao Yuanyi.

"Han Yuanzheng should stop interfering in the affairs of the young lady of the Shen family, so as not to bring trouble upon himself." Xiao Yuanyi said softly.

Han Yuanzheng frowned and looked at Xiao Yuanyi in confusion. "Why do you say that, Fifth Prince? I always treat all patients equally. Now that I have taken over the care of this young lady from the Shen family, I must do my utmost to ensure her recovery."

Xiao Yuanyi looked helpless. He felt too tired to talk to Han Yuanzheng, so he said bluntly: "Han Yuanzheng, do you know that if the Sixth Princess's plan had been followed, I would have contracted the plague, and Han Yuanzheng would have been trapped in the North Third Hospital for treating me. Whether the two of us can survive and how long we can live depends on fate."

Han Yuanzheng's eyes widened in shock after hearing this. He asked in disbelief, "How could this happen?"

"Otherwise, Han Yuanzheng was wondering why he was called in so early. He was afraid that if he delayed it for too long, the matter would become a big deal and difficult to resolve."

"Mr. Han, please listen to me. The young lady of the Shen family will not die without you. Your own life is the most important. During this period of time, you'd better claim to be sick and stay indoors to resolve this crisis." Xiao Yuanyi advised seriously.

Han Yuanzheng pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about this carefully."

Seeing that he had tried his best to persuade the man and had done his utmost, Xiao Yuanyi asked Cui An to follow Han Yuanzheng to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine.

……

After attending Xiao Jinyu's coming-of-age ceremony, Shen Chuning was about to head south with the Shen family's second branch.

Because the head of the Yun family, Shen Chuning's grandfather whom she had never met, was about to celebrate his sixtieth birthday.

In addition, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory finally determined that there would be little rain this year and that the country would face a severe drought. Therefore, the project to repair the dam that was destroyed by floods last year has been stopped.

All manpower and funds must be prioritized to ensure the construction of drinking water irrigation channels.

Feng Yucai, who worked in the Ministry of Works, had chosen the job of canal construction at the beginning of the year because he followed Shen Chuning's advice. Now he has been successfully promoted to the seventh rank of Jieshi.

A while ago, Feng Yucai specially sent someone to deliver a generous gift to express his gratitude.

At the same time, Shen Qinghe was assigned the task of inspecting the progress of canal construction, and this time he was able to escort Mrs. Shen Er and others all the way south.

This time, Shen Chuning only brought Cuiwei and Qixia with her.

Qixia was responsible for taking care of her daily life on the road, while Cuiwei was responsible for managing food matters.

Birui was left in the capital by Shen Chuning, responsible for handling various businesses under her name, the most important of which was selling ice.

Shen Chuning specifically told Birui not to rush to buy ice no matter how high the price of ice in the capital rose.

Ice cubes will not be sold until mid-June, and the price will be 30% higher than the ice price in Beijing in early June.

And the amount of ice produced each day cannot be too much.

According to Shen Chuning's plan, if everything goes well, including normal losses, all the ice can be sold by the end of September, but she should have returned to the capital by then.

April 28th, everything goes well.

As the sky began to turn pale, the second branch of the Shen family had already set out from the Shen Mansion for Jinling.

Shen Qinghai, Shen Chengshan and Shen Chengwu chose to ride horses, while Shen Chengliu was sleepy after getting up early, so he chose to squeeze into Shen Chuning's carriage to catch up on his sleep.

This carriage looks ordinary, but the interior decoration is unique.

The walls of the carriage are covered with brocade satin and filled with thick cotton, making people feel warm and comfortable.

There is a low table placed in the middle of the carriage. The low table is fixed to the carriage and will not shake while the carriage is moving.

There are several circular grooves on the low table for placing teapots and teacups.

There is a drawer under the coffee table, which contains a set of Go for Shen Chuning's entertainment.

In addition, Shen Chuning also specially asked someone to bring a thick stack of storybooks and stack them neatly in the corner.

Next to the sketchbook was her beloved flute.

Shen Chuning's master Bai Yu went out to travel after finishing his teaching in the capital.

When he left, he left a seal for Shen Chuning, saying that no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future, as long as she met someone with the word "Yu" in the lower right corner of the plaque, she would be helped.

The windows of the carriage were hung with moon-shadow gauze, which allowed the breeze to pass through while maintaining privacy inside the carriage.

Even people outside cannot see what is going on inside the car.

Shen Chuning was very satisfied with the detailed designs. The only thing that made her dissatisfied was the existence of Shen Chengliu.

Shen Chuning gently kicked Shen Chengliu's calf and complained, "Sixth brother, there's a bigger and more spacious carriage out back. Why do you have to squeeze into mine?"

Shen Chengliu turned over, with his back to Shen Chuning, and muttered, "Don't make a noise. The carriage behind is not as comfortable as yours. I'm not stupid. I won't go."

Shen Chuning shook her head helplessly and could only let him go.

Shen Chuning poured hot tea for herself and Shen Chengliu and gently placed it in the groove on the coffee table.

She reached out and lifted a corner of the gauze curtain, looking at the scenery outside the window.

The Shen family's long convoy moved slowly forward in the morning mist, with no end in sight in the front and no tail in sight behind.

Every few meters along the convoy, there was a bodyguard from the Yunyuan Escort Agency riding a tall horse.

Yunyuan Escort Agency is the Yun family's own escort agency. This trip south was to escort the young lady and her husband, and secondly to celebrate the family head's birthday.

The morning breeze brought a hint of coolness and brushed across Shen Chuning's cheek.

The carriage slowed down slightly at the bend, and Shen Chuning suddenly saw two familiar figures at the street corner.

It was Zhou Lin and Crown Prince Xiao Yuanqi. They were talking to a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup next to them.

Shen Chuning recalled Zhou Lin's cold attitude towards her in front of the Juxian Tower that day.

She lowered the curtain, groaned heavily, and leaned against the wall of the carriage.

Shen Chengliu noticed something was wrong, sat up suddenly, and looked at Shen Chuning in confusion.

Seeing her puffed cheeks, which were very cute, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch them, then asked with a smile: "You just chased me away and I didn't leave, so why can't you see Sixth Brother?"

However, Shen Chuning did not respond to his joke. Instead, she stared closely into Shen Chengliu's eyes and asked seriously, "Sixth Brother, what is Fangfei Pavilion?"

Shen Chengliu was caught off guard by this question. The teacup in his hand shook and almost fell to the ground.

He was holding the teacup and drinking water, and with a "puff" sound, all the tea in his mouth sprayed out, splashing everywhere.
