Li Shuang nodded: "Why does your uncle still want you to copy the family rules? The bell is a token of our love that I gave you. Can't you even bring it?"

"My uncle didn't actually say anything. I was thinking of copying until the day before our wedding, and we're going to Jinlintai for the wedding banquet soon, so we won't have many more days to copy," Lan Xichen said gently.

"As long as you don't find it hard, that's fine!" Li Shuang said, looking at him.

"It wasn't hard work. Thinking about why I copied it, I only felt happy," Lan Xichen said with a smile.

Li Shuang sighed helplessly; a love-struck mind is indeed a man's best dowry.

*

On the day they set off for Jinlintai, Lan Xichen took Li Shuang and Lan Wangji with him.

Feeling bored on the way, Li Shuang took out three strings of candied hawthorns and gave one to Lan Xichen.

He smiled and accepted it: "Thank you, Shuangshuang."

Li Shuang smiled and handed the other string of pearls to Lan Wangji, who was standing to the side.

"Here you go, you can't refuse. I'm asking you to take it as your future sister-in-law."

"Host, you've learned to use someone else's power to intimidate others!" Xiao Qi said.

Why are you always trying to undermine me?

Xiao Qi gave a slightly embarrassed laugh: "I suddenly remembered that Hua Hua was looking for me. Goodbye, host."

Li Shuang was afraid that this cold-hearted person wouldn't accept her, and she would lose face, so she had no choice but to say that.

After all, she wasn't as optimistic as Wei Wuxian, who would laugh even when rejected.

Lan Xichen smiled and said to him, "Wangji, give it a try!"

Lan Wangji stared at the candied hawthorn for a while before finally taking it.

"Thank you."

Li Shuang waved her hand: "No need to thank me, we're all family."

Lan Xichen smiled at her and said, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while? I'll go prepare a carriage for you."

Li Shuang shook her head: "It's okay. We can ride horses again when we're tired. Riding horses is more fun."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Lan Xichen said gently, looking at her.

Throughout the journey, Lan Xichen showed great care for Li Shuang, and the two were inseparable.

Lan Wangji felt something was off, and he glanced at Li Shuang several times with a mixture of curiosity and unease.

Li Shuang was certainly aware of his gaze when Lan Xichen walked away while she was choosing a horse.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Li Shuang asked him.

Lan Wangji bowed and said, "I'm just curious, brother, why have you changed since meeting you?"

Li Shuang smiled meaningfully and said, "The power of love is truly magical."

The first thing Lan Wangji thought of was Wei Wuxian, and he calmed down.

Li Shuang went to greet Lan Xichen, who rode up on horseback.

Seeing her, he rolled off and said to Li Shuang, "I've picked out a gentler horse for you."

Li Shuang smiled and said, "No need, I'd like to ride a horse with you."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll carry you up first."

He put his arm around Li Shuang's waist, helped her onto the horse, and then mounted himself, sitting behind her.

"Are you seated securely?" Lan Xichen asked Li Shuang, looking down at her.

She nodded: "Hold on tight, let's go!"

He looked at Lan Wangji and said with a smile, "Wangji, let's mount our horses and go!"

Lan Wangji watched their actions and thought, "..."

Then he silently mounted his horse, making Li Shuang want to laugh.

Upon arriving at Jinlintai, they first went to pay their respects to Sect Leader Jin.

Jin Guangyao came out to greet them: "Second Brother, you've arrived?" He looked at Li Shuang with curiosity.

"This must be my future sister-in-law!"

Lan Xichen glanced at Li Shuang and said with a smile, "That's right."

Li Shuang nodded to Jin Guangyao, who smiled and said, "Everyone, please go inside first!"

Once inside, they met Sect Leader Jin and other people who had already arrived.

They all inquired about Li Shuang's situation out of curiosity, wondering why Zewu Jun would marry an ordinary woman.

Most importantly, they seem to get along very well and have a good relationship.

Someone asked, "Zewu-jun, could it be that you're attracted to this girl's beauty and that's why you like her?"

The man's tone was condescending and malicious. Wasn't that Kim Ja-hoon?

He leered at Li Shuang with a bold look, admiring her charming appearance, and said with a smile.

Besides him, no one else would be so arrogant. Li Shuang felt that she had only knocked him unconscious last time, which was too lenient.

Lan Xichen looked at him, a cold glint in his eyes, and naturally stepped in front of Li Shuang to block his view.

With a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he said, "Young Master Jin is right. Of course I am happy for my future wife. She is the most beautiful woman in my heart."

His words directly reversed the meaning of Jin Zixun's words, making it seem that the two had a good relationship and were mutually in love.

Seeing that Jin Zixun wanted to say something more, Li Shuang spoke into the space.

"Xiao Qi, knock him out, then give him a super strong headache."

"Alright, host, I've disliked him for a long time." Xiao Qi had just finished speaking.

Jin Zixun felt a sharp pain in his head. He clutched his head and cried out in pain, "Ah!"

"What's wrong with Young Master Jin?" someone asked.

"Everything was fine just now, how did it suddenly turn like this?"

Sect Leader Jin immediately said, "Quickly, someone come and take a look at him!"

The disciples of the Jin family had just walked over to help Jin Zixun down when he suddenly fainted.

"Young master, how are you!"

"Hurry up and carry him away!" Sect Leader Jin ordered.

The disciples picked up the person and left, leaving everyone bewildered.

Li Shuang spoke to Lan Xichen, but her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear: "Xichen, what's wrong with Young Master Jin? He just finished talking to us, and now he's like this. I hope no one thinks we did this."

Her tone carried an innocent and naive confusion.

This made even those who were initially skeptical think that it was unlikely; who could act so quietly without being discovered by so many people here?

Lan Xichen patted her head and quickly said, "It's nothing. Last time, Young Master Jin also fainted for no reason. It should be the same as last time."

Li Shuang nodded knowingly: "I see."

"What's wrong with this young master Jin? He also suddenly fainted last time, and we still can't find the cause."

"Could it be poisoning? That would be terrifying; even the doctors can't detect it."

Sect Leader Jin told everyone to disperse first, and then arranged for people to prepare accommodations for them.

Lan Xichen led Li Shuang outside, and Lan Wangji followed silently.

Once in the room, the three of them sat together and drank tea.

"Wangji, what do you think of today's situation?" Lan Xichen asked.

Lan Wangji put down his teacup and shook his head, saying, "I can't tell for now. Could it be that Young Master Jin has been poisoned?"

Lan Xichen was also thinking when he suddenly paused and looked at Li Shuang, who was looking down and eating her snacks.

Li Shuang looked up at him, smiled, and continued eating.

Lan Xichen curled the corners of his lips, looked away, and replied to Lan Wangji, "What you said is also possible."

Lan Wangji sat for a while, then went back to his room.

After he left, Lan Xichen looked at Li Shuang and asked, "Shuangshuang, what do you think about Jin Zixun's matter?"

Li Shuang smiled and looked up at him: "Xi Chen, do you think it has something to do with me?"

"I just feel that others don't have this ability," Lan Xichen said honestly.
