Chapter 424 Shen Qingzhou & Xiao Jingchuan

Shen Qingzhou stood straight and looked at the man in front of him formally. He was wearing a black brocade robe and had a long sword hanging at his waist.

Narrow eyes, full of heroic spirit.

Having fought on the battlefield for years, he has an aura that makes people feel unapproachable.

Shen Qingzhou clasped his fists and bowed towards him: "I am Shen Qingzhou, your humble servant, and I greet His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

The three words "Shen Qingzhou" were like a poisonous datura vine, causing Xiao Jingchuan's heart to ache and numb, and he could no longer use all his strength.

"Second Prince, this is my husband, Shen Qingzhou. They need materials to build the dam today. They have to go to Wushan to collect them, so they came to the border town."

Xiao Jingchuan stood there in a daze for a long time before he turned around and nodded at Shen Qingzhou.

"I heard about Lord Shen building a dam in Yunzhou. You are truly remarkable for your contribution to the people and the country."

While Shen Qingzhou was looking at Xiao Jingchuan, Xiao Jingchuan was also looking at him.

He was really as Lin had heard, handsome in appearance and with the physique of a military general. The fact that he proposed to build a dam in Yunzhou showed that he was not just good-looking, he was also very smart.

Even though he was a prince, he had no advantage by his side.

"Second Prince Miao is very commendable. The Second Prince protects the entire Dongxia. He is a truly powerful person."

The two admired each other, but there was also a hint of hostility, but neither side showed it.

"Second Prince, are you here to check the water source?"

The water sources that Lin Ting found were all protected by Xiao Jingchuan's men, and these water sources were all managed by the border town army.

"Ok!"

It was impossible for Xiao Jingchuan to say that he came here for Lin Ting, and Lin Ting had already found an excuse for him, so he just admitted it.

"Then, Second Prince, have you made your plans? There's a banquet at Weirui Pavilion tonight. I've invited General Han, Yi'an, Wan Weiran, and the others. You should come too."

Before leaving, Lin Ting asked Bai Lu to make preparations and invite colleagues from the Ministry of Works to Weirui Pavilion tonight.

He came from Yunzhou, thousands of miles away, so Lin Tinggai should entertain them well.

"Okay, then I'll go back and change my clothes. I'll be there in the evening."

When turning around, Xiao Jingchuan looked at Shen Qingzhou, his expression showing no joy or anger.

"Sir Shen, see you tonight."

Shen Qingzhou nodded: "See you tonight!"

In the evening, Weirui Pavilion held a banquet!

Because Lin Ting wanted to hide her identity, she did not make clear her relationship with Shen Qingzhou to Shen Qingzhou's colleagues in the Ministry of Industry.

Tian Wei saw so many people coming to Weirui Pavilion, even General Han came, and the second prince must be there.

Sure enough, he waited for Xiao Jingchuan.

"Second Prince, Second Prince, wait a moment!"

Xiao Jingchuan saw Tian Wei under the corridor and walked towards him with a gloomy expression.

"Second Prince, have you seen that pretty boy? Look at our wife, she loves him so much that she even invited all his friends to her home."

Tian Wei also wanted to sow discord between Xiao Jingchuan and Lin Ting, and hoped that he could deal with Shen Qingzhou.

Let Shen Qingzhou return to Madam Lin, and let the Second Prince's heart return to the country.

However, this time, the way Xiao Jingchuan looked at him was as if he wanted to stab him.

"Tian Wei, Madam Wei Rui didn't investigate the crimes of you and your son. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Tian Wei lowered his head. He knew that he was wrong. He didn't care if Madam Weirui looked for someone else, but she just had to hook up with Madam Lin's man.

Madam Lin is his benefactor and the benefactor of the entire border town. He had no choice but to do this.

"Second Prince, I'm doing this for Madam Weirui's own good. That man is probably a liar."

Xiao Jingchuan turned his head to look at the backyard of Weirui Pavilion, where Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou exchanged glances.

Lin Ting's reputation in the border town is already bad enough because of the Dongxia Kingdom. He really can't bear to see Lin Ting being slandered again.

Anyway, no one in the border town knew Shen Qingzhou's identity, so Xiao Jingchuan turned around and warned Tian Wei seriously.

"Tian Wei, please respect Madam Wei Rui. She is her husband."

Tian Wei's eyes widened instantly, and many unbelievable news collided in his mind, but he definitely did not have any hallucinations.

"Oh! Okay! Okay..."

Xiao Jingchuan turned and went to the backyard. Tian Wei was holding the pillar under him, and his eyes looked at Lin Ting who was receiving guests in the yard.

The information he knew in his heart was quickly reshaped at this moment.

He confirmed that Shen Qingzhou was Madam Lin's husband, but the second prince said that Shen Qingzhou was Madam Weirui's husband?

This is too confusing. Yesterday, Lord Shen was able to call the shots in Madam Lin's granary, so his identity must be correct.

When he was having a secret meeting with Madam Weirui, all the servants in Weirui Pavilion retreated, even Bai Lu, who was always with Madam Weirui, was not by her side.

Bai Lu has always been working with Madam Wei Rui, so she must know everything about Madam Wei Rui.

In Madam Lin's granary, there has always been a woman wearing a veil and whose face cannot be seen clearly, who is in charge.

Tian Wei had seen that figure before. If he associated that figure with Bai Lu, wouldn’t they be the same?

Besides, Madam Weirui is just a businessman and it is her first time to visit the border town. Why would the Second Prince protect her?

And General Han and Miss Han in the courtyard are so familiar with her, so there is only one possibility.

Madam Weirui is Lin Ting, Madam Lin!

Tian Wei bit the back of his hand. Why didn’t he figure this out at the beginning?

Madam Weirui is Madam Lin, his benefactor. If it weren't for Madam Lin giving him food, he and Tian Mieluo would have starved to death long ago.

Thinking about the last time he and Tian Mieluo almost killed Lin Ting, Tian Wei slapped himself hard.

Bai Lu and her maid were carrying tea when they passed by Tian Wei. Seeing him hitting her, Bai Lu frowned.

"What are you doing here? Just do what you're supposed to do and don't disturb the guests."

After saying this, Bai Lu led the maid to the backyard.

Tian Wei looked at the lower half of Bai Lu's back. Yes, it was the woman in Madam Lin's granary.

He sorted everything out, and only later realized how stupid he had been.

Why couldn't he believe what the Second Prince said? The Second Prince asked Madam Weirui to go to Xiluo to collect fox furs. This was definitely not helping Xiluo.

They must have some plan, otherwise why didn't they bother Madam Weirui?

It's such a simple truth, but he only understood it now.

Thinking about what he said to Lord Shen this morning, Tian Wei was shocked. If Lord Shen and Madam Lin had a misunderstanding because of him, he deserved to die.

How to do?How to do?

He couldn't go in and explain to Lord Shen now, which made him very anxious.

In the backyard, someone from the Ministry of Works stood up and toasted Lin Ting, the Second Prince and others.

"I never thought Lord Shen and Madam Weirui would be friends. I'm fortunate to be here today and to meet the Second Prince and General Han. It's truly a fortuitous encounter. This glass of wine is in honor of you all."

Knowing the identities of Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou, Han Yian and Wan Weiran didn't dare to look up, for fear that they would not be able to hold back their laughter.

Lin Ting thought that the two of them were too good at hiding things. They told others that they were just friends, but she had never seen them sleeping together.
