In the afternoon, Su Lingyue remembered that Ji Tang's brother and mother needed to be visited, so she took Caidie Caiyi with her and went to Jinxiu Pavilion.

After taking the three hundred taels of silver, Su Lingyue asked Caiyi with a smile, "Caiyi, do you have anything to take with you? I'll ask my servant to take it with you."

Caiyi blushed and whispered, "Miss, I made two robes..."

Su Lingyue nodded and said, "Okay, bring it here and have the servant take it over."

Caiyi blushed and went back to get the clothes, one for women and one for men, for her future mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Ji Tang is now a wanted criminal by the imperial court. Just in case, they can no longer stay in the original manor. Su Lingyue specifically instructs the servant to drive the carriage over and help them move to another manor overnight and temporarily change their name.

Since they went to Zhuangzi, Ji Tang has not been back very often. As long as they go out as little as possible, it should be fine.

After explaining everything to the servant, the servant carried the bag and left the house.

Caiyi looked in the direction where the servant left, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Su Lingyue saw it all and felt pain in her heart. Caiyi and she grew up together, and she also hoped that Caiyi could be reunited with her as soon as possible, but due to the current situation, she might have to wait for a while.

Thinking of what Xiao Yu said last night, Su Lingyue patted Caiyi on the shoulder and told her what Xiao Yu said. Only then did Caiyi smile again.

She could understand Caiyi's thoughts. She was looking forward to the reunion, but at the same time she was afraid that they would not be able to be reunited.

Although she was with Xiao Yu every day, she was in pain of fear of loss every day.

After Su Lingyue asked Caidie Caiyi to do her own thing, she took a pot of hot tea and went to the study.

After the knock on the door, it was Yun Ting who opened the door. Seeing that the person coming was Su Lingyue, he nodded respectfully and saluted, then said to the inside: "My lord, it's the princess who is here."

Afterwards, Yun Ting made way for Su Lingyue to go in, and then closed the door.

"You can ask the servant to bring it to you. You don't have to bring it yourself." Xiao Yu stood up, took the tray from her hand and put it on the table.

Su Lingyue poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying, "I'm a little worried about my uncle, so I wanted to ask how he's doing. I think you guys are talking about that too!"

Xiao Yu took the teacup handed over by Su Lingyue and said, "Well, I was planning to tell you later. Now that you are here, it's just right for me to tell you what you think."

Su Lingyue poured another cup of tea for Yun Ting. When she handed it to him, Yun Ting was a little surprised. Then he quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Princess."

"Yes." Su Lingyue responded, then sat back next to Xiao Yu and asked, "What does the prince plan to do?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "Don't make any moves on the Jiangnan prefect's side for now. I plan to have Yun Ting go to the home of Wang Qing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, tonight to inquire about it first."

Su Lingyue recalled that when they were at Longhua Temple, Wang Yirong told her that her father had a secret room.

Although she said she wanted to surrender at that time, such words had no basis of trust, so it was fine to just listen to them. If I really waited for her news, I would probably miss it.

Su Lingyue nodded and said, "That's fine. I don't trust Wang Yirong either. But do you know the exact location of the secret room?"

Xiao Yu took a sip of hot tea and said, "I don't know. Let Yun Ting go find out tonight."

Su Lingyue thought for a moment and said to Yun Ting, "Can you remember the layout of the palace and draw it?"

Yun Ting nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Yu was a little puzzled, "What does Yue'er want the layout for?"

Su Lingyue explained: "I want Wang Yirong to draw it for me in person to see if she can be an informant. Maybe she can be useful in the future."

"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded and said to Yun Ting: "Yun Ting, you go there tonight."

"Yes, Your Highness." Yun Ting nodded respectfully in response.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu and said, "My Lord, there is one more thing."

"what's up?"

"Yesterday I met Xiao Changan at Zuixianju. He was meeting the granddaughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. I think we need to stop the situation from developing further, otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with in the future."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu curled his lips and smiled, "Don't worry about this, Yue'er, this marriage will not be successful."

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu in confusion.

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Besides us, there are others who don't want this marriage to happen. As long as the news is spread, someone will take care of it. We don't have to do anything."

Currently, the person who is at odds with Xiao Changan is Xiao Changshi. Once this marriage is completed, Xiao Changshi will face a huge obstacle in the court and on his path to becoming the crown prince.

The person Xiao Yu was talking about should be Xiao Changshi.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu, her bright eyes full of admiration, "Using someone's force to counter attack, what a good idea! You are worthy of being the prince!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"When will the prince release the news?"

"In these few days. The 20th of next month is the emperor's birthday. Concubine Yi and the Minister of the Central Secretariat will definitely take this opportunity to ask the emperor to issue an edict to grant the marriage."

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Su Lingyue finally put her mind at ease.

Looking at Xiao Yu's cold and jade-like face, the joy in her heart increased a little more, and she couldn't help but stare at him in a daze.

On the other hand, Zhao Xingzhou heard that Wang Yirong had returned from praying, so he asked her out.

Zhao Xingzhou looked at the woman sitting in front of him, wearing a worn white silk jacket with dark patterns, and his disgust grew even stronger.

As a qualified businessman, he still maintained the most basic etiquette towards others. He spoke in a gentle voice, "Miss Wang, why did you give the brocade you took from Zhao's Business to the woman in Yanzhi Lane a few days ago?!"

Wang Yirong said slowly, "She has been kind to me. She is nearly sixty years old and has not worn new clothes for many years. I gave her the cloth. What's wrong?"

She raised her head and looked at Zhao Xingzhou. Her pair of lively fox eyes were full of clarity, and her rosy lips were like peach blossoms in March, very beautiful.

Zhao Xingzhou's tone unconsciously slowed down a bit. "I brought Yunjin back from the Western Regions after a long journey. One piece is worth eight hundred taels. It is a kind of cloth that dignitaries love very much. But if you gave it to that woman, it would affect the reputation of the business to some extent!"

"I asked her for money, but she refused. So I want to ask Miss Wang to return the brocade, and I want to exchange it for two rolls of the finest silk."

Wang Yirong nodded and said, "I understand, Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry, my mother-in-law is a little stubborn, but I will definitely talk to her and get the Yunjin clothes back no matter what."

Zhao Xingzhou nodded, "That's the best. Come with me to the merchant's shop and get two pieces of cloth to exchange!"

Wang Yirong shook her head and chuckled, "No need. I feel bad for causing a bad influence on your company. How can I take your things again?"

Seeing her like this, Zhao Xingzhou didn't say anything more. He got up and left the teahouse with the servant.

Wang Yirong glanced at Zhao Xingzhou's departing back, and the corners of her lips slightly raised.
