After handing over the whole piece of wood ten times, the doorman ran out with a big stride, looking relieved, "Master Lian, our second master calls you to come in."
Lian Yan threw the wooden fold upwards, then raised his hand to catch it, smiling proudly, "Let's go."
Seeing Lian Yan enter the house, Fang Xu cupped Su Zi's shoulders and said teasingly, "Let's follow him and have a look."
Su Zi looked helpless, sighed softly, and was led into the mansion by Fang Xu's shoulder.
Lian Yan took the boy and walked in the direction of Jingyuan in a familiar way.
"Sir, why do we have to go through the main entrance these two days?" The young man stepped forward with a puzzled look on his face.
When did my son become so polite?
"Shut up!" Lian Yan scolded him, glanced at Yunyuan not far away involuntarily, and murmured, "I naturally have reasons for what I do."
Just as he was talking, a beautiful figure stepped out of the door and broke into his eyes.
The girl wears a green-white short coat and a crimson moonlight skirt. She has tassels on the back of her bun and falls down to the back of her neck.
Xie Wanzhou led Zhu Tao with surprised eyes, apparently seeing the young man in front of him.
Lian Yan's face turned red, and he slowly stepped forward and made a non-standard salute, "Thank you, Miss."
Xie Wanzhou nodded lightly and returned the favor with a crisp voice, "Young Master Lian, what a coincidence."
After finishing speaking, Lian Yan raised his head in disbelief, the smile on his lips became brighter and his eyes sparkled, "You still remember me!"
"Of course." Xie Wanzhou smiled lightly, and his eyes were full of smiles, "I have only met Mr. Lian as my second brother's friend."
Lian Yan's eyes were round and bright, his smile showed his white and neat teeth, and he was full of energy, "I have something for you."
Xie Wanzhou blinked and looked at Lian Yan in confusion.
Lian Yan reached into his clothes and took out a wooden box with a clear smile, "The first time I saw you, you were wearing a tasseled hat. I thought you liked it. I happened to see it and thought it was suitable, so I gave it to you. Sent."
The wooden box was opened, and inside was a pair of silver-plated, gold-plated, jade-embroidered beads and tassels, which looked rich and gorgeous.
Xie Wanzhou took a step back and waved her hand to refuse, "Master Lian, this is too precious. We are neither relatives nor friends..."
"Just take it." Lian Yan, with the tips of his ears red, handed the wooden box to Xie Wanzhou's arms and hesitated, "You are sister Xie Li, I... I naturally have to take care of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Yan turned around and ran away without giving Xie Wanzhou time to react, almost as if he was escaping.
"Hey, Mr. Lian!" Xie Wanzhou wanted to reach out to stop him, but Lian Yan's legs and feet were really fast. He rushed to Jingyuan and closed the door in a hurry, even the boy who was following him was locked out.
"This..." Xie Wanzhou held the wooden box, her pink face turning red completely.
The wooden box is as heavy as a hot potato.
Xie Wanzhou stood at the entrance of Yunyuan, looking at each other with Zhu Tao.
"Miss..." Zhutao looked at the wooden box and asked in a low voice, "Are we still going to the bookstore?"
Xie Wanzhou sighed softly, hid the wooden box in his sleeve, took out the cloth strip and put it on, "Let's go, mother finally let you go. After buying the book, you can accompany me to go shopping on the street. Even the young master said this, I should also buy something as a gift in return.”
It wasn't until the master and servant left that Xucai finally showed up.
"What's going on with Lian Yan," Fang Xu frowned and whispered, "Since when did he become so familiar with Wan Zhou?"
Su Zi blushed and explained in a low voice, "Hasn't Madam reacted yet?"
Fang Xu turned around, "What should I react?"
Su Zi stamped her feet angrily, "Madam is always smart, why is she so emotionally dull?"
"The male protagonist gives the woman jewelry to secretly express his affection!" Su Zi raised her chin towards Xie Wanzhou, who was walking away. "This slave looks at the young lady, and what she receives must be extremely valuable!"
Fang Xu suddenly realized, "You mean... Lian Yan has fallen in love with Wan Zhou?"
Without waiting for Su Zi to answer, Fang Xu remembered Mrs. Lian's deliberate conversation at the palace banquet that day, "No wonder she came to look for me that day and insisted on chatting when she had nothing to say. It was her family's pig that caught the eye." My cabbage!”
When Su Zi heard his wife's incomprehensible description, she pursed her lips speechlessly, "Does Madam dislike Young Master Lian?"
"It doesn't matter to me." Fang Xu shook his head, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "As long as Wanzhou is serious, even if she falls in love with the prince, I can still go to the palace for her."
"And... the boy from the Lian family is indeed born Zhou Zheng. If he were a son-in-law, he would be pleasing to the eye."
Su Zi sighed softly and helped Fang Xu to walk to Chengyuan, "Madam, you'd better hurry up and prepare the guest room. Master Lan can't live in the palace forever!"
"Leave this matter to others." Fang Xu waved his hand casually, with a slight smile in his eyes, "The queen gave me a lot of sugar chestnuts, you and I have a lot to do!"
"Madam, why are you only thinking about..." Su Zi frowned, subconsciously starting to babble.
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, "Those chestnuts are sweet in your mouth and leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth. Don't you want to eat them?"
Su Zi suddenly turned off the fire and pretended to be calm, "... I can do some, slave."
Fang Xu chuckled and walked inside briskly.

Yancheng Mountains
The sun is setting in the west, the mountains are towering, and the mud is soft. The carriage is driving on the mountainside path, and the body of the carriage is shaking along with the rugged mountain road.
Xie Changqing's furious voice came from inside the car, "Damn it, I will make them pay the price!"
Hua Qing felt uncomfortable after being bumped by the carriage. She leaned against Xie Changqing softly and bonelessly, covering her bulging belly with her hands, sobbing, "My lord, you must avenge my concubine and your child!"
Xie Changqing hugged her and coaxed in a deep voice, "Don't worry Qing'er, you and your child won't have to wait too long."
Outside the car, Bai Ji, who had been driving all the way, had deep eyes, looking at the towering cliffs on one side, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
The two people in the car were busy expressing their hatred, but no one noticed that they were going the wrong way.
Bai Ji took out a short blade from his arms, tightened the reins with his left hand, exerted force on his waist, jumped into the air, and cut the rope between the horse and the carriage. After doing everything, he landed firmly on the horse's back. .
The car body lost the rope to balance it. Due to the force of inertia, it followed the horses forward for a few meters and then lost its direction. It was only then that the few people in the car realized something was wrong.
When they sent Chang Hai out to take a look, no one could see Bai Ji's shadow.
"No, Your Majesty..."
Before Chang Hai finished speaking, the car rolled towards the cliff on the left. The screams of the three people echoed through the top of the mountain, and soon fell silent.
Bai Ji rode out and looked down the mountain. He happened to see an overturned car body, with blood still seeping out from the bottom of the car body.
Turning around and dismounting, Bai Ji walked down the mountain road and walked to the side of the car. He was sure that the three of them were dead. After much deliberation, he stabbed the three of them on the neck several times and scratched their faces. Remount.
"Your Majesty, it was my slave who did this to you. Regardless of whether you are an immortal or a ghost, you just come to see my slave."
Bai Ji wiped the dagger clean, leaving only this sentence, and then rode towards the capital.
