Traveling through the worlds, my husband comes here to smell the scent

Luying brought a small stool for her master to step on to get on the carriage.

After Shen Youan got into the carriage, Luying put away the stool. Desheng came out of the house and walked to Luying's side.

“Bring the gift.”

"I brought it, father-in-law." Luying nodded.

"That's fine"

"By the way, take good care of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. If someone bullies you, don't be afraid, fight back. If you really can't, remember who it is and wait for Her Royal Highness to come back and then take care of it." De Sheng kept reminding Shen Youan, fearing that Shen Youan would be bullied.

"Of course, don't worry, father-in-law." Luying nodded, indicating that she would do it well.

"Okay, go ahead."

Inside the palace

The maids and eunuchs of Fuqing Palace were busy arranging the things for the banquet, which was held in the garden of Fuqing Palace.

"My queen, the servants reported that the second prince was injured and poisoned. He cannot enter the palace today to attend your banquet." Hui Xin looked at Su Ran who was carefully choosing hairpins and said nervously, afraid that Su Ran would be angry because of this.

"Hmm..." Su Ran paused while gesturing with the hairpin on her head. Yesterday, Chu Yuchen did send someone to the palace to find the imperial physician.

But didn't they say he was only wounded by an arrow? She also saw him drinking a lot of wine at the hunting dinner that day, so the injury didn't seem serious. How could he be poisoned now?

It was so serious that he couldn't even come to his own banquet. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but he was his own son.

Su Ran felt uncomfortable and irritable, but because today was her own banquet, she felt that she should not let this emotion overwhelm her.

She should be happier, and the emperor said today that he would come in person to host a banquet for her.

Thinking of the jealous looks of the concubines, she felt happy again.

Second Prince's Mansion

"Your Highness, are you really not going to the Imperial Concubine's banquet today?" De Hai asked cautiously.

He knew in his heart that the relationship between mother and son was only good on the surface, and he even knew that the imperial concubine had never really cared about his own prince.

When Dehai thought of this, he felt sorry for Chu Yuchen.

"No, I'm almost dead, and she didn't even bother to come visit. Now I can only lie in bed, so I can't go."

Chu Yuchen half-sat on the bed, staring at the book in his hand

"Your Highness is right." De Hai was silent for a few seconds after hearing what his Highness said. Chu Yuchen was indeed poisoned, but De Hai saw that although he was not full of energy, he was not weak either. Well... whatever your Highness said was the truth.

Now he is reading in the room, it is because the girl said that he disturbed her, so he was sent back, and she also stuffed a book into his hand and asked him to read it himself.

Overland

"Dad, they are the two young masters I was talking about. Thanks to them for saving your daughter last night, otherwise you would not be able to see me."

Zhang Xuepian hugged her father's arm and said coquettishly that she had made up a story about how she ran out of the house yesterday and encountered gangsters, and it was the two young men who saved her.

Zhang Yuan looked at the young man with extraordinary temperament in front of him and liked him. He did not doubt what his daughter said.

Moreover, he sent people to inquire about it and found out that there really was a Lin family in Nanzhou, and they were the richest people in the area. This was much better than that bandit leader. His daughter really caught a rich husband.

In this way, he would have countless money to spend, and he would be happy just thinking about it.

Zhang Yuan bowed to the two of them.

"Welcome, gentlemen, to stay at my residence. It's my honor, hahahaha."

"You're too polite, County Magistrate Zhang." Si Jin smiled gently and raised the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you," Chu Yuxiao nodded.

Zhang Yuan didn't care. His daughter said there was a young man who was a bit aloof. This must be him.

"Alright, alright, Pian Pian will take the two young masters around the mansion. Dad has some things to do, so I won't accompany you any longer." After saying this to Zhang Xue Pian, he looked at Si Jin and the others and said, "I'll excuse myself first. The two young masters will be entertained by my daughter."

"Zhang County Magistrate, please go ahead and do your work. We can just follow Miss Zhang for a walk." Si Jin nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Okay, okay, excuse me." Zhang Yuan bowed and left.

Zhang Xuepian led a few people and strolled around the mansion. It was said that the county magistrate's mansion was quite luxurious, with many rockery, small gardens, and a large mansion.

It really doesn't look like the residence of a county magistrate in a remote place. Si Jin and Chu Yuxiao looked at each other and thought to themselves, this is it.

If they say they have nothing to do with the local bandits, it is simply impossible.

After walking around for a while, Zhang Xuepian said shyly that she would take the two of them to see the accommodation they had prepared.

"Thank you, Miss." Si Jin nodded.

"You're welcome, Mr. Lin, you can also call me Xue Pian." Zhang Xue Pian was a little embarrassed and covered her face with a handkerchief after saying that.

Zhang Xuepian has a gorgeous appearance, a tall figure, and a curvy figure. In this remote place, she is considered one of the most beautiful women.

"Well, Xue Pian," Si Jin called out softly.

The cool and gentle voice entered Zhang Xuepian's ears, making her feel hot all over, and also made her more determined to marry Mr. Lin.

But when I see an outstanding man, I am afraid that he is married. But if he is married, why would he talk to me?

Zhang Xuepian asked nervously and tactfully, "Mr. Lin is so outstanding, do you have a woman you like?"

"I haven't married yet, but my eldest brother already has a family."

Zhang Xuepian was delighted when she heard this. She nodded shyly and looked up at Chu Yuxiao next to her. No wonder this young man was so cold. It turned out that he already had a family.

Although Zhang Xuepian is not a good person, she will never interfere with other people's feelings. Although it is an era of three wives and four concubines, she has vowed since she was a child that she will never be a concubine.

After a while, we arrived. The environment here is very good, very ventilated, not stuffy, and the lighting is good. I think it was carefully selected.

"This is your residence, sir. If you need anything, please tell the servants. We will try our best to make your stay as comfortable as possible."

Zhang Xuepian's maid came forward and opened the door. Zhang Xuepian led a few people in and looked at the facilities in the room. She was quite satisfied.

"Sir, take a look first. If there's anything missing, Xue Pian will get it for you right away."

The environment here is undoubtedly much better than the inn

"Please sit down, gentlemen. Tao'er will pour some tea." Zhang Xuepian sat down at the table and raised her hand to signal the two to sit down and talk.

Song Shuhuan and the other man waited outside the door.

"Yes, Miss." Taoer poured tea for everyone and stood next to her own lady again.

So they started chatting about some local things. Most of the time, it was Si Jin who spoke, while Chu Yuxiao responded with one or two words.

"I have something I want to ask Xue Pian. I don't know if it's convenient for me to tell her." Si Jin pretended to be entangled and looked at Tao'er beside him.

"Tao'er, you go down first." Zhang Xuepian didn't know what he was going to ask. Seeing that the other party seemed to mind his maid hearing it, she let Tao'er go down first.

"Miss..." Tao'er struggled for a moment. She was really worried about a man and a woman being alone in a room.

"Tao'er" Zhang Xuepian glared at her slightly

"Yes, Miss." Tao Er was a little helpless when she saw this, but she had no choice but to go down first.
