After a night of rain, the morning was particularly cool, and Wu Lu took his servant out early in the morning.

Su Yuejian stood in the backyard and saw the dozen or so fat sheep. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Are you planning to eat lamb every meal this month?

When Su Yuejian turned around again, Yan Xu was patting Wu Lu's shoulder with satisfaction, his eyes full of praise, "Not bad, this sheep is really well chosen."

Wu Lu puffed out her chest proudly, and looking at the expectant eyes of the two, Su Yuejian curled her lips helplessly.

He called the servants to process the two sheep first, then went to the kitchen to prepare seasoning.

At noon, Yan Xu finally ate the roasted lamb he had been longing for.

"Hmm!" Yan Xu's mouth was greasy with food. He turned to Su Lin beside him and said, "What do you think, Brother Su? I told you that Yue girl is a master at making barbecue!"

Although Su Lin ate quite elegantly, chewing the meat in big mouthfuls and nodding heavily, he didn't even turn his head, his eyes fixed on the leg of lamb on the grill.

Su Yuejian was slowly applying the dipping sauce, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of barbecue.

When she turned around, the plates of the people behind her were empty. They were staring at the roasted whole lamb next to her and drooling.

It smells so good that Yuzhu and Wulu’s eyes are almost growing on the barbecue.

"Miss Yue, are you ready? Can we eat now?"

Wu Lu swallowed and looked at Su Yuejian expectantly.

Su Yuejian shook her head and said, "We have to wait a little longer."

"Ah——" Several people lowered their heads.

Not yet? I feel better now...

Another quarter of an hour passed, and before Su Yue could say anything, several people had already rushed over and started eating the two roasted whole lambs.

Su Yuejian couldn't help but laugh.

"Princess, this was sent by Patriarch Xie."

As Butler Xu stepped into Wutongju, he was so attracted by the fragrance that he couldn't move. He handed the letter to Su Yuejian, but his eyes never left the roasted lamb.

He had tasted Su Yuejian's cooking once, and it was so delicious that it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.

Su Yuejian opened the letter and saw that there was only a land deed belonging to Jin Fulai. Her eyebrows raised slightly.

Xie Jiusi is so efficient.

The title deed was in the hands of Princess Changping. It had only been one day, how could she give it up so easily?

She thought it would take some time.

He put away the deed and gave it directly to Su Wan.

"The daily income of Jinfulai is very considerable. Yue'er really doesn't want it?" Su Wan looked at her in surprise.

"Sister Wan is better than me at business matters." Su Yuejian cut a few pieces of lamb leg meat into a plate and handed it to Butler Xu.

Butler Xu was suddenly startled. He looked up and met Su Yuejian's bright smiling eyes, and his eyes were filled with tears of emotion.

Woohoo, their princess is so nice!!!

The smell of the barbecue had already made him dizzy, so he didn't refuse and took the plate and started to eat with relish.

"Sister Wan, please put it away quickly. If you don't eat it now, it will be snatched away." Su Yuejian reminded her when she saw that she was still in a daze.

Su Wan smiled and put the deed into her sleeve.

Although it was just a land deed, the Meng family had married the princess after all, so Xie Jiusi was able to get the land deed in just one night.

This shows his power and...how much he values Su Yuejian.

but...

She looked up at Su Yuejian, a hint of doubt flashing across her face.

With Su Yuejian's intelligence, it is impossible that she had not thought of this, but why did she seem to not care at all?

......

"Has the stuff been delivered?"

Xie Jiusi was concentrating on solving the chess game and asked casually.

"Yes." Gan He lowered his head in confusion, "Master, don't you want to see Princess Minghua? Why don't you go in person?"

Xie Jiusi dropped a piece, turned his head to look at him, and said nothing.

Gan He scratched his head. Was he wrong?

Then why did he not sleep last night and run to the corner of the Taifu Mansion to eavesdrop!

Aren’t you interested in Princess Minghua?

Xie Jiusi lowered his eyes and asked after a long moment, "How's business in Shuiyunjian lately?"

Gan He grinned and said, "That's great! Thanks to Master Jin, everything is booming!"

"Where's Changlefang?"

"That goes without saying. Ever since Baihualou closed down, the number of customers at Changlefang has more than tripled!"

Xie Jiusi turned his head and looked at him.

Gan He's smile froze for a moment, and the atmosphere became somewhat depressing.

What did he say wrong?

Isn’t it a good thing that business is booming? Why is the owner angry?

He twirled the chess piece in his hand, pondered for a while, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Gan He looked at the gentle smile on Xie Jiusi's face and pursed his lips.

Who is the Patriarch planning to plot against again...

Wutongju

Su Lin watched Su Yuejian take the medicine and then go to the study to do official business.

Yan Xu sat under the sycamore tree, eating Sushan and nodding repeatedly.

It's so comfortable! It's still good to be with Yue Yatou!

Let him enjoy the blessing that Ming Bushi cannot enjoy!

"Hey, Yue girl, I wanted to ask you just now, why did you take the medicine?"

Su Yuejian was holding a book in her hand, reading it intently, swinging slowly on the swing without even raising her head, "I'm not feeling well."

Yan Xu was puzzled and looked at her carefully. She looked rosy and didn't look unwell at all.

Although she knew that he didn't believe it, Su Yuejian didn't want to explain too much. The more people knew, the more dangerous it would be.

Then he said, "How about... you tell me where he is, and I'll tell you why you drank the medicine?"

.....Yan Xu picked up the glass cup and said, "Haha! This Sushan is really delicious, hahahaha"

"Tsk." Su Yuejian sneered, "Don't pretend. Uncle Wu asked Albatross to deliver a letter yesterday. It was for him, right? I saw it all."

"Uh..." Yan Xu looked at Wu Lu who was trying to bury his face in the plate.

The black heron lowered its head again, unable to see him, unable to see him...

Yan Xu withdrew his gaze and turned to meet Su Yuejian's clear eyes, feeling even more guilty.

"When did you start studying swordsmanship? You want to learn martial arts!"

Yan Xu picked up the sword manual in Su Yuejian's hand and took a look at it, trying to change the subject.

Su Yuejian no longer forced him. She knew that since Ming Bushi refused to reveal it, she would never be able to find him.

"This is my mother's book." Su Yuejian looked at the sword manual with a somewhat lonely expression.

Yan Xu looked at her drooping brows and remembered what he had heard about Lu Jinru before. He couldn't help but feel regretful and felt even more distressed for Su Yuejian.

Su Yuejian suddenly remembered something, "Old Yan, do you know if there were other people around when my grandfather picked me up in Chaowu Mountain?"

Yan Xu thought about it and shook his head, "No, it's just you."

"No bodies either?"

"No."

Wu Lu said, "There are so many poisonous creatures in Chaowu Mountain, how could there be a corpse? If it wasn't eaten by the Five Poisonous Creatures, then it must have become Xiao Hei's food."

Su Yuejian nodded, it made sense.

Then Liuying is most likely dead...wouldn't that mean we've lost another clue?

"Why are you asking about this suddenly?"

Su Yuejian took the sword manual back from him and said, "If you have time, please go and take a look at the house. I don't want the threshold of the Taifu Mansion to be trampled down."

Yan Xu followed her gaze and looked at the piles of visiting cards on the table.

He just opened his mouth, but saw that the girl had ignored him and turned sideways to continue reading.

That wasn't a visiting card for him, it was clearly for her. Who in Kyoto didn't know that her chess skills were better than his?

Looking at the girl's cold expression, Yan Xu's face darkened slightly.

The little girl has grown up. She's no longer as carefree as she was in Chaowu Mountain. Now she looks worried and has a lot of secrets hidden...
