After thoroughly investigating the will of Prince Ning's Mansion, the sky in the capital seemed to be gloomy as well.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The imperial decree was passed down to Yannan, and it was Xie Zhizhou, the eldest son of the Marquis of Huai'an, who came to pick up Xiao Yunheng, Lu Xiyue and Lu's mother.

"Great, it won't be long before the prince and concubine know about it, and they must be very pleased."

Seeing Xiao Yunheng accepting the order, Xie Zhizhou couldn't hide his excitement.

Xiao Yunheng signaled him to be calm, told the team that followed him to pick up people to wait outside, and led Xie Zhizhou into the hall.

Seeing Lu Xiyue and Lu's mother, Xie Zhizhou raised his hand and bowed honestly: "I have seen my aunt, I have seen my sister-in-law."

"Your Majesty is polite, sit down quickly." Mother Lu smiled.

After hearing his "sister-in-law", the corners of Xiao Yunheng's lips curled up, subconsciously looking at Lu Xiyue.

The girl held the teacup calmly, with no other emotions in her eyes.

He curled his lips, a little disappointed.

I thought she would feel somewhat embarrassed.

It was getting late at the moment, Xie Zhizhou didn't rush to urge them to leave, he decided to rest for one night, wait for them to pack up before setting off.

Mother Lu immediately ordered the people below to prepare dinner.

In the main hall, several people talked about what happened in the court hall recently.

In the blink of an eye, the next morning, everything in the house was almost packed, Lu Xiyue didn't have time to see Sheng Qin, so she wrote a letter and ordered the servants in the mansion to deliver it.

Sheng Qin didn't intend to return to Sheng's family, but it was cheaper for her. In the future, these businesses in Yannan will happen to be managed by someone.

Four or five carriages were stuck in the salute, and the servants came out of the house holding one brocade box after another, Xie Zhizhou was dumbfounded.

How long has it been since the elder brother and sister-in-law have developed such a huge family business.

"Brother, your family has a lot of wealth."

The Marquis of Huai'an is also a member of the upper echelon of the noble family, but it is a noble family after all. Although business is a low-level job, it earns a lot of money.

He is a son of the Marquis of Huai'an, and the monthly silver is only more than 100 taels. If it weren't for the family's shop and other industries, this amount of silver would not be enough to fit between the teeth.

But he clearly saw that there were two money boxes with a thick stack of bank notes, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"A lot, it's all earned by your sister-in-law."

The young man bent his lips, under the sun, his pair of deep black eyes were full of light, and looked proudly at the slender figure not far away.

Xie Zhizhou frowned and gave him a sideways look.

For the first time, I felt disgusted with this elder brother whom I had admired since childhood.

You speak so proudly, as if you earned the money.

Obviously it's my sister-in-law's credit.

A few words flashed through his mind, and he was taken aback suddenly when a girl Yingying approached not far away.

No, he remembered that elder brother liked sister-in-law, and sister-in-law had no intention of showing elder brother.

Thinking of this, he tugged at Xiao Yunheng's sleeves, and pulled him aside: "Brother, when you return to Beijing this time, you must strike while the iron is hot, and quickly take down sister-in-law."

Today is different from the past, the sister-in-law is not the dandy she used to be, such a powerful and beautiful girl, only his elder brother can match her.

Responding to him was the young man with a mocking smile.

Why wait until returning to Beijing, he and Xiyue are connected with each other now.

Before he could speak, Xie Zhizhou thought of another thing: "Brother, when this case is over, you will be King Ning. I heard from the Fifth Prince that His Majesty seems to be dissatisfied with sister-in-law."

After all, he had a fiancee back then.

The young man's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his lips was covered with a cold smile: "So what if you are not satisfied, it was he who ordered the marriage at the beginning, so it is possible that you have to break the contract yourself."

As an emperor, the Holy One would naturally not reach out and slap himself in the face.

But it doesn't mean others won't.

While the two were talking, a light-colored slender figure suddenly broke into their sight.

"Young Master Xiao."

Sheng Qin, who came trotting all the way, blushed slightly, panted and greeted Xiao Yunheng, saw Xie Zhizhou who was beside him nodded slightly, and then said: "I heard that you are going back to the capital."

It's not that he doesn't know the background of these two people.

Xiao Yunheng was once a general praised by everyone.

"Yes, leave in half an hour." Looking at the unexpected guest who suddenly appeared, Xiao Yunheng said indifferently: "Mr. Sheng is in a hurry to come over, is there something important?"

His eyes fell on the box carefully held in the young man's hand, his thin lips were pursed lightly, and a warning flickered at the end of his eyes.

Didn't he come to offer courtesy?

Sensing the undisguised coldness from the other party, Sheng Qin's face tightened, and he did not lose his timidity: "I'm here to send you two off. This is my parting gift for Miss Lu...and Mr. Xiao."

He handed the box out.

Xiao Yunheng was extremely displeased.

He knew that this person must have something wrong with Xiyue.

really……

He had to see what was in the box.

Before the hand touched the black box, the voice of the girl Qing Lingling came from behind them.

"Why is Mr. Sheng here?"

The box that Xiao Yunheng could barely touch was taken back by that hand.

The young man with starry eyes greeted the girl, restraining the emotions he shouldn't have in his heart, and said in a gentle voice: "Miss Lu, I heard that you are leaving, I... come to see you off."

"This is a parting gift I prepared for you. It's not a good thing. Miss Lu, don't dislike it."

Lu Xiyue was overjoyed, she didn't expect that he would make a special trip to give her a gift.

"Mr. Sheng is so troublesome, how dare I despise him."

She opened the box, and there was a hundred-year-old Danshen lying in it.

Lu Xiyue blinked and couldn't help being surprised: "This is too expensive."

The hundred-year-old Danshen is even more precious than the century-old wild ginseng that he and she bought from Zhao Tianmao.

"Compared to Miss Lu's life-saving grace, this is nothing."

He thought, she is not an ordinary girl, she is good at business and medicine, so she will definitely like this old salvia plant.

Sure enough, he was right.

Lu Xiyue raised her hand and gently stroked the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza, complex emotions appeared in her pupils hidden by her long eyelashes.

Under the expectant eyes of the young man, she closed the box and said with pain, "Sorry, Mr. Sheng, I can't accept this."

The young man was a little surprised: "Why?"

Lu Xiyue thought for a while, and found an excuse: "This thing is too expensive. If I take it, I will feel uneasy. If Mr. Sheng really wants to thank me, he will take good care of my shop. I will be grateful."

No matter how dull she was, she still felt that Sheng Qin treated her unusually.

"But I bought this thing specially for Miss Lu, and it just arrived by water the day before yesterday."

Looking at the girl's face, Sheng Qin felt bitter.

Lu Xiyue sighed, but she still firmly refused: "Young Master Lao Sheng spent a lot of money, I really can't accept it."

"In that case." Sheng Qin smiled, seemed to understand what she meant, and took the box back: "It seems that I can only take this thing back."
