The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Lin Yuge shook her head slightly and sighed softly:

"You mean well, but the people in the palace are complicated, and it's inevitable that some will use this to cause trouble."

Xiao Yunqing nodded slightly, her eyes filled with self-reproach:

"Don't worry, I will handle the aftermath properly and won't let them bother you."

"I trust you, but we need to be more careful in our future actions."

A warm feeling welled up in Lin Yuge's heart, and she looked up at Xiao Yunqing.

There seemed to be a hint of affection in their eyes as they met, but she quickly concealed it.

At this moment, Lu Ziheng and Ye Lingxuan also came over.

Lu Ziheng patted his chest and said:

“Yun Qing is right, we will not stand idly by.”

Ye Lingxuan held Lin Yuge's hand and said, "Yuge, don't be afraid, I will help you."

If my cousin Xuan causes trouble again, I'll go complain to my imperial uncle.

Lin Yuge shook her head and chuckled softly.

"Don't worry! I'm not someone who's afraid of trouble. If he tries to make things difficult for me, I'll handle it myself."

After speaking, she looked at the ships behind her:

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's hurry up and get the goods settled!"

Lu Ziheng nodded, cleared his throat, and began to explain the arrangements for the three ships' cargo:

"Our goods are of various types, and I have contacted some reliable merchants to temporarily store them in the dock's warehouse."

However, it will take some effort to handle this properly.

"I'll send Mo Dong to assist you!" Xiao Yunqing said, pointing to another follower behind him.

He then introduced it to Lin Yuge:

"Yuge, this is Mo Dong, he has a lot of experience in trade."

This will help you maximize the value of this shipment and avoid many unnecessary troubles and losses.

Lin Yuge looked at Mo Dong.

Seeing his calm and capable gaze, she smiled and nodded in thanks.

Lu Ziheng watched Xiao Yunqing and Lin Yuge from the side.

He secretly pondered to himself that the atmosphere between the two seemed different from usual.

Their words and expressions showed more intimacy and tacit understanding, indicating that their relationship had taken a step closer.

Lin Qingzhou, meanwhile, went about making arrangements for the crew.

Completely unaware of the subtle changes in the relationship between her younger sister and Xiao Yunqing.

Once the cargo and crew are all arranged.

Lu Ziheng smiled and invited everyone, "You've all been busy for so long, you must be tired."

I know a good restaurant; I'll treat everyone to a good meal today.

Everyone readily agreed and headed towards the restaurant together.

We arrived at a restaurant called Dingxiangfang.

Exquisite lanterns hung on either side of the vermilion gate, casting a warm yellow glow on the bluestone steps at the entrance.

Lu Ziheng stepped inside first.

The waiter, with sharp eyes, quickly came forward, his face beaming with smiles:

"Young Master Lu, it's been a long time! A private room has been prepared."

The group followed the waiter through the bustling hall, where the sounds of laughter and clinking of plates and glasses filled the air.

Upon entering the private room, one finds it elegantly furnished, with several landscape paintings hanging on the walls and the tables and chairs spotless.

Lu Ziheng invited everyone to sit down, and then skillfully ordered the dishes:

"The signature roast duck from Dingxiangfang is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I crave this dish all the time when I'm in Lingnan."

It's a pity that the chef in my shop can't make it taste like that; I must try it properly today.

And the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

Add some seasonal vegetables and a delicious soup..."

Before long, dishes were served on the table in a continuous stream, steaming hot and fragrant.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Lin Qingzhou couldn't help but smile:

"Ziheng has really gone to great lengths today. Such a lavish feast is mouthwatering."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to savor the delicious food.

For a moment, only the sounds of chewing and occasional exclamations of praise could be heard in the private room.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they stepped out of the restaurant, where a gentle breeze brought a refreshing feeling.

Looking at the bustling streets of the capital, Lin Qingzhou was filled with emotion and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

She said, “Life is unpredictable! Little sister, at this time last year, we were trapped in Longtan Village, struggling to make a living every day.”

They are still constantly bound by those invisible shackles, and even breathing freely has become a luxury.

Who could have imagined that such a dramatic change would occur in just one year?

Now we have not only regained our freedom, but we can also stand proudly on the land of the capital.

The others, upon hearing this, also sighed in agreement.

Lu Ziheng patted Lin Qingzhou on the shoulder and said:

"Qingzhou, your family has really had a tough journey."

But the hard times are finally over, and things will definitely get better from now on.

Lin Yuge and Xiao Yunqing walked behind, and upon hearing this, she gave him a grateful look.

He said softly, "Yun Qing, if it weren't for you along the way, I really don't know what state my Lin family would be in now."

Xiao Yunqing turned slightly to the side, looking at her intently with a faint smile on his lips.

"Fishermen's songs, no need to worry about them."

Meeting you is a blessing in itself for me.

Ye Lingxuan was naturally very curious, and upon hearing this...

Unable to contain herself any longer, she blinked her big eyes and asked:

"Yuge, what exactly is going on in your family?"

"I was just about to ask, how does your family have any connection with the Marquis of Ding'an's household?"

Lin Yuge chuckled and replied nonchalantly:

"My family was originally the second branch of the Marquis of Ding'an's mansion, but two years ago we were falsely accused and exiled to Lingnan."

The Marquis of Ding'an expelled our family from the clan genealogy, severing all ties, fearing we would be implicated.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan was filled with righteous indignation:

"How could this be? Those who framed you are utterly despicable!"

The Marquis of Ding'an's household is so heartless and ungrateful; it's truly despicable.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yuge felt a warmth in her heart and said with a light smile:

"It's all in the past. Now we just need to do our best, and those people will pay the price for what they did."

After saying that, she stopped and said to the group, "Let's part ways here!"

Brother Lu, Lingxuan, you've just gotten back too.

Your family must be waiting anxiously; don't keep them waiting too long.

"Yunqing, you too, you rushed here right after court, you must be tired."

"What about you guys?" Ye Lingxuan asked worriedly, recalling what they had just said.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yuge responded softly:

"Let's find an inn to stay in for the night, and then we'll see if there are any suitable rooms available tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziheng immediately waved his hand and said loudly:

"Little Sister Lin, that's not right. How can you stay at an inn when you get to the capital?"

I have a villa in Chonghua Lane. It's very spacious, so you can stay there for now.

"Once we find a place to stay, we'll move in. Just treat it like your own home, no need to be shy."

Lin Yuge frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and lowered her head to say softly, "This... I'm afraid it will be quite inconvenient."

Lin Qingzhou nodded silently beside him.

At this moment, Xiao Yunqing, who had not spoken until now, said, "No need to trouble yourself, I have already prepared lodgings for them in advance."

Lin Yuge couldn't help but look puzzled. She looked up at Xiao Yunqing, her eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

I've never heard him mention when he arranged his accommodations.

Although he had many questions in his mind, he didn't want to ask them directly in front of everyone.

However, the look of doubt in his eyes grew even stronger.
