Yan Shu and Jiang Ci arrived at the North City Gate in time.

Li Shangqian's lieutenant saw Jiang Ci approaching and respectfully stepped forward to salute.

"Son."

"Is your adult here?"

"My lord is on the tower, I will take you two up."

"It's work!"

The deputy general personally took Jiang Ci and Yan Shu up to the tower.

When Li Shangqian saw Jiang Ci coming, he immediately put down his errands and hurried over.

"Uncle!" Jiang Ci stepped forward to bow to him.

"Why did you come here?"

Li Shangqian's subordinates did not know Jiang Ci's identity, and he still had to continue to act as the uncle of His Highness Seventh Prince in front of outsiders.

"I came here today to ask my uncle for help."

Li Shangqian retreated from the subordinates beside him. When there were only three of them around, he asked: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Jiang Ci said: "There are several friends who are traveling with me and are in the team now. I would like to ask the general to be accommodating and let them go to the city first."

"What does the humble position mean? It's easy to say. You write down the names of those people, and the humble position will arrange for people to search for them."

"Then there is General Law."

Jiang Ci walked to the desk and wrote the names of Yan Ersheng and others on the paper with a pen.

Li Shangqian immediately called someone over and handed the piece of paper to his subordinates to handle in person.

After handling the government affairs, Li Shangqian's eyes fell on Yan Shu.

The spies came to report that His Highness Seventh was traveling with a young woman. They considered themselves husband and wife and lived in the same upper room. Recalling that His Highness personally admitted that he was married at the Begonia Banquet yesterday, this woman must be His Highness's new wife.

Li Shangqian sighed silently in his heart.

His Highness Seventh Prince is now in the countryside, and the wife he married must not be a noblewoman or a noblewoman from a noble family, but is most likely a peasant girl from the countryside.

If His Highness the Seventh Prince has accomplished his great career in the future, it will be difficult for this girl to secure her position as the head wife. I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse for her to be with His Highness the Seventh Prince.

The most ruthless emperor's family, the former empress and the current majesty were once childhood sweethearts who were envied by others, but in the end they fell to the tragic end of being wiped out.

Yan Shu saw the pity in Li Shangqian's eyes when he looked at her, and wondered, last night when Li Shangqian looked at her dressed as a servant, he was full of hostility, but today he changed it to pity?

It seems that Master Li has quite a lot of inner drama.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Li Shangqian asked: "When does Your Highness plan to set off?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will leave Nanwei Mansion today."

At this time, the deputy general came over in a hurry.

"Sir, the person the young master is looking for has been brought into the city."

Jiang Ci thanked Li Shangqian and then went down the city wall. At the inner entrance of the city gate, Yan Shu saw Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang and the three brothers of the Yan family not far away, and she ran up happily.

"Mom, dad, eldest brother, second brother, third brother!"

Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang, Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai gathered around excitedly.

Liu Wenniang held Yan Shu's hand tightly and looked at her carefully for a while: "Daughter, did you encounter any danger in the city these past two days?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Don't you think my daughter is standing in front of you well?"

Yan Ersheng looked at Jiang Ci, who was walking behind him, and said to his wife beside him, "What did I say? With Erlang by his side, our daughter will be fine."

Brother Yan Wu stretched out his arms and put them on Jiang Ci's shoulders: "Erlang is really powerful. He can actually persuade the soldiers guarding the city to open the back door for us. Right now, more than [-] people are queuing up to register outside the city. What if it's our turn? It's time, luckily you arrived in time."

Yan Wen also followed up and said: "I was just thinking that you must have done something to make the soldier guarding the city bring us in by name."

Jiang Ci chuckled: "Second uncle, second aunt and three brothers will follow us back to the inn and wait."

Yan Shu then said to Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang: "Father, mother, brother, there is water in the inn, so I would like to take advantage of this to freshen up."

Yan Ersheng nodded in agreement: "Then let's go to the inn to rest for a while, and then come back here at noon to meet the large army."

After leaving the North City Gate, the group went directly to Zuiyue Pavilion.

Jiang Ci told the young shopkeeper: "Prepare two guest rooms, and prepare some water for eating and bathing to be sent into the room."

"Yes!"

Yan Huai looked at the young shopkeeper.

This man was respectful to Jiang Ci, not as if he were greeting guests, but as if he were respectful to his master. Presumably, Zuiyue Pavilion was Jiang Ci's property.

Not only did Yan Huai become more and more curious, Jiang Ci had property and secret guards, and even Prince Wuling had close contacts with him. What was the reason that made him live in the countryside for so many years?

-

The young man arranged two upper rooms for the Yan family, right next to the one where Jiang Ci and Yan Shu lived.

The servant quickly brought the breakfast, and the young man walked up to Jiang Ci: "Master, the breakfast has been prepared. Is it placed in your and your wife's room or..."

Everyone in the Yan family looked surprised when they heard the word "Madam" coming from that person's mouth.

"Who is madam?"

The young man frowned slightly. Could it be that the name he just called was wrong?

He looked at Jiang Ci, who looked calm and did not show the slightest hint of displeasure.

So the young man said bluntly: "The master's wife is naturally Miss Yan."

Several eyes glanced at Yan Shu.

"Daughter, what on earth is going on?" Yan Ersheng asked with a stern face.

They had long seen that Jiang Ci was interested in Shu'er, but he had been quite affectionate and polite all along the way. How come his sister-in-law changed into a wife just after entering Fucheng?

Moreover, the two of them actually lived in the same room these two days?

Thinking of this, the Yan family man's anger rose.

Just as Yan Shu was about to explain, Jiang Ciping backed away from the young man, turned to look at Yan Ersheng and said, "This matter happened because of me, so let me talk to my second uncle."

Yan Ersheng glanced at Jiang Ci and snorted in his heart, you are quite responsible.

"Daughter, you and your mother go back to the next room first, and we have a good talk with Erlang."

Yan Shu was worried that his father and brothers would embarrass Jiang Ci, so he explained: "Things are not what you think. We pretending to be husband and wife is just a temporary measure. Don't think too much about it."

Yan Ersheng forced out a comforting smile.

"My dear, be good, follow your mother back to your room first."

Liu Wenniang held Yan Shu's hand: "Let's go back to the next door first."

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci, who smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, Shu."

"A Shu?" Yan Wu exclaimed.

This brat doesn’t even call me sister-in-law?

Yan Shu couldn't help but rolled his eyes. It was true that the whole family was doubting their relationship, and he actually added fuel to the fire?

She finally understood now that this guy obviously did it on purpose.

After Liu Wenniang left with Yan Shu, Yan Huai closed the door, folded his hands on his chest and looked at Jiang Ci questioningly.

"Tell me, what happened between you and my little sister these past two days?"

Jiang Ci faced the men of the Yan family and truthfully told them what happened in the city in the past two days.

Yan Ersheng frowned slightly: "Although it is forced by the situation, Shu'er is a woman. You two men and two women living together in the same room will harm her reputation. How is this inappropriate?"

Jiang Ci looked sincerely and said, "As long as Ah Shu is willing, I am willing to take responsibility for this matter."

Yan Wen looked at Jiang Ci: "Erlang, are you interested in my little sister?"

Jiang Ci said: "I am happy with her."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ci answered so simply. Yan Ersheng and the three brothers of the Yan family looked at each other.

Originally they wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Ci, but it was obvious that he was sincere and Jiang Ci tried his best to protect their family's safety along the way. They really couldn't say anything too harsh.

Yan Ersheng was silent for a while: "Although Shu'er is my daughter, her life-long events still depend on her own wishes. If she is interested in you, we will not stop her."

With Yan Ersheng's assurance, a smile flashed across Jiang Ci's eyes.

Finally, the window paper was pierced in front of the Yan family, and the next step was to wait for the little fox to be caught.
