The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

Li Shu hurriedly stopped and saluted, "Greetings, Prince Heng'an."

"No need for formalities." Yin Ji said as he walked a few steps closer to Li Shu and her servant. "You are a good zither player. After the New Year, I will be hosting a banquet in my palace to entertain relatives and friends. I wonder if you would be willing to do me the honor of coming to my palace and playing a few tunes to liven up the atmosphere?"

"It is an honor for me to have my zither skills recognized by Your Highness. However, Fei'er is getting married soon, and I have to personally prepare some of her beauties. I am really too busy to do that. I hope Your Highness will find someone else. If Your Highness has not been back to the capital for a long time and there are no suitable candidates, I can also recommend a few renowned musicians in the capital."

"Then it'll be hard work."

"..."

Li Shu said that to stop Yin Ji from talking, but she didn't expect Yin Ji to actually ask her to recommend a musician. She was speechless for a moment before she said, "Then I will send someone to deliver the list of musicians to the prince's mansion someday."

Yin Ji nodded, and when she spoke again, her tone was a little playful, "You never called yourself a concubine in front of others in the past."

She rarely calls herself that now!

Isn't this to remind him that she is a married woman!

After Li Shu finished her secret complaints and was still thinking about how to respond, Yin Ji laughed and walked around them, the master and servant.

It's like being sick.

Who would have thought that just as Li Shu finished thinking that, Jingzhe leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This Prince Heng'an laughs for no apparent reason, and it's a little creepy. I'm afraid there's something wrong with him. Miss, you must not go to his house!"

Li Shu glanced at Jingzhe.

I thought to myself that this might be the case of "like master, like servant".

And Jingzhe added: "Speaking of musicians, we have a candidate in our building."

"He has to be a musician with some fame in the capital."

"Have you heard of this, Miss Hua An?"

"The Hua An from Hua Gu Zi Music House?"

"Correct."

"Is she from your building?"

"Well, her name is actually Linhua, and she was also picked up by our boss and brought back to the building."

“…How many people did Lin Yuan pick up?”

"There must be hundreds of people."

"..."

Li Shu thought to herself that it was fortunate that Peacock Terrace was so wealthy and powerful. No other family could afford to support so many people.

Then she continued, "Isn't Hua An older than Lin Yuan? Where did he pick it up?"

"It seems like she was in a brothel. Lin Hua had a black spot on her face, so the people there called her Ugly, but she had a nice figure. When she was fifteen, the madam forced her to cover her face to receive customers. She refused, so she jumped from the highest floor of the brothel and landed right in front of our boss. According to the boss, she was only breathing her last, and her eyes told her she didn't want to die, so he rescued her and brought her back to the building."

"Lin Yuan must have been only about ten years old at that time? And he was already visiting a brothel?"

"No, no, no, our boss would never visit a brothel! He went to that brothel to look for his master!"

"..."

Li Shu raised her eyebrows.

Is this Lin Yuan's master? She really wants to meet him!

Jingzhe noticed her raised eyebrow and said in a more serious tone, "Really! Miss, please believe me! Our boss has never been to a brothel!"

"I didn't say I didn't believe it. Why are you so excited?"

When asking this, Li Shu looked at Jingzhe deeply.

Jingzhe quickly looked away.

Meanwhile, in the pavilion, after Li Shen had untied Ning Jin's acupuncture points, he helped Ning Jin up and looked around, asking, "Why are you three, master and servant, all unconscious here?"

Ning Jin pretended not to hear, his mind full of the image of Li Shu retching after he held her in his arms.

Did Shushu already dislike him to that extent...

"Ning Jin?"

"Tsk! Say something!"

Li Shen waited for Ning Jin to speak for a long time and became a little anxious.

Ning Jin then said, "Just now, I was talking to Shushu here and was a little too impatient. It was someone close to Shushu..."

Before Ning Jin could finish his words, Li Shen said with disgust, "Xiao Shu only brought Jingzhe, the maid, into the palace today, right? She single-handedly took down the three of you, the master and the servant? You're really useless, aren't you?"

Ning Jin ignored Li Shen's teasing and disgusted tone, secretly thinking back to what had just happened, and was certain that the person who knocked them down was the man in the hunting ground before.

There must have been no such person around Shushu in the past.

I don't know where it came from...

Seeing that he was silent again, Li Shen stopped teasing him and said, "I came to tell you that the baby in Xie Yu's belly is fine."

Ning Jin subconsciously frowned deeply.

He wished the child were gone.

He thought Li Shen was going to tell him that the child was innocent, or that the child's vitality was so strong that he couldn't bear it. But Li Shen lowered his voice and asked him, "Didn't your hand slip just now? You didn't really want to kill Xie Yu, did you? With your skills, even if you were drunk, the sword in your hand couldn't have slipped out, let alone just grazed Xie Yu without even touching her hair. What on earth were you doing?"

"I'm trying to confirm whether I can kill Xie Yu."

"What do you mean?"

"At that time, I threw the sword with murderous intent, and I calculated the direction, but the sword deviated on its own."

"You're saying... it was Xie Yu who caused the sword to deviate? But she didn't do anything at the time?"

This time, Ning Jin didn't answer. Instead, he frowned and asked, "You've changed your name to Xie Yu? What happened?"

Li Shen sighed and said, "Regarding the incident where Xie Yu and I hid in the pile of corpses together, not only are our memories different, but my second brother's is also different..."

"So now you believe that I didn't lie to you, and Xie Yu really hypnotized us, right?" Ning Jin interrupted Li Shen and asked excitedly.

"It's not certain whether it's hypnosis or not."

"What do you mean by this?"

"..."

Li Shen scratched his hair, annoyed, and said, "I can't explain it to you in a few words. Anyway, Xie Yu is very strange. Just like the recent rumors about her in the capital, her figure and appearance seem to be able to change at will."

Ning Jin frowned tightly.

Can your body shape and appearance change at will?

Monster?

So maybe they weren't hypnotized, but controlled by witchcraft?

Thinking of this, Ning Jin turned and left.

Li Shen wanted to follow, but gave up because Ning Ge and Ning Ji were still unconscious.

When he woke Ning Ge and Ning Ji up and went to look for Ning Ji, Ning Jin was nowhere to be found.

Finally, we learned from the guards outside Shoukang Palace that Ning Jin had left the palace.

He hurried out of the palace and went to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

But the guards of Dingbei Marquis Mansion said that Ning Jin did not go back.

He had no choice but to go to Tongxin Garden and wait.

Just sitting alone in the Tongxin Garden Hall, he felt mixed emotions.

Ning Jin's previous words, "When you wake up in the future, every harsh word you said to Shushu will become a knife stabbing into your heart, keeping you awake at night," kept echoing in his ears.
