This tells her that Lan Wanqiong is dead.

Sanliting outside the south city was under the jurisdiction of the governor of Chen County and was only a hundred miles away from Jingfu Temple.

Lin Luoling knew without thinking that this was closely related to Jingfu Temple, but other people did not know about this. County Magistrate Chen would probably be sentenced to death. The counties under his jurisdiction were in trouble with bandits, and he killed people and robbed people in broad daylight. If it got to the ears of Emperor Deshun, it would mean that he was greedy and incompetent, and the people would think that County Magistrate Chen was in cahoots with the bandits.

"Thank you for reminding Madam Cao, the governor. Sister Chenyin and I are going to Pinxiangzhai. If Madam Cao, the governor, has nothing to do today, why don't we go together?"

If Lin Luoling had said this when he first met the wife of Governor Cao, it would have been a sincere invitation. But saying this now was purely out of courtesy.

The wife of Governor Cao was a shrewd person. She claimed that there were still things to be taken care of in the mansion. She also said that Lin Luoling had agreed with that person about the house and that he could come to the governor's mansion to find her at any time. She would definitely hold a banquet in the mansion to thank Lin Luoling.

After they exchanged polite thanks, Lin Luoling watched Governor Cao's wife and daughter get on the carriage and slowly leave, and then she and Chen Yin got on the carriage.

Pinxiangzhai is located in Dongcheng District of Xuzhou, Beijing. It is not the most famous restaurant in Xuzhou, Beijing, but it is located on the edge of East Lake. There are three dishes in the restaurant that are very famous.

They are: Shanhaidou, Banglinxian, and Plum-wine Golden Fish.

These three dishes are not available in Beijing, so there are endless customers coming to Pinxiangzhai every day.

When they arrived at Pinxiangzhai, the servant who followed them booked a private room first.

In the private room of Pinxiangzhai, you can have a panoramic view of East Lake by opening the window.

Cruise ships and fishing boats shuttle across the East Lake, and from time to time, melodious piano sounds and heavenly voices of singing girls can be heard from the cruise ships.

Shanhaidou, Banglinxian, and Plum-stirred Golden Fish are the dishes that Lin Luoling must order every time she comes to Pinxiangzhai.

Then Lin Luoling asked Chen Yin and Biyou Bizhi to order another dish they liked.

Biyou and Bizhi were somewhat flattered, and they bowed together and said, "How dare this servant sit at the same table with the master?"

Lin Luoling said: "Since you two are willing to sacrifice your lives to serve me, our relationship is more than just that of master and servant."

It is a great honor to be appreciated by the master. Biyou and Bizhi said no more and sat down obediently.

The dishes at Pinxiangzhai were served very quickly. As soon as the waiter left the private room, Jiang Chi walked in, waving his fan gently. He said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Sister, why didn't you invite me to dine at such a nice place?"

Lin Luoling had just deliberately revealed to the wife of Governor Cao that she was going to Pinxiangzhai, just to find out whether the wife of Governor Cao understood what she meant.

Unexpectedly, Governor Cao’s wife is such a smart person.

Jiang Chi and Governor Cao had no connection at all, and it was impossible for Jiang Chi to follow her and Chen Yin secretly.

And she revealed her whereabouts and came to Pinxiangzhai because she was waiting for Prince An.

Sure enough, Prince An and Princess July also entered the private room behind Jiang Chi.

Seeing Prince An and Princess July coming, Biyou and Bizhi hurriedly stood up.

Jiang Chi sat down carelessly, picked up a pair of unused silver chopsticks, picked up a piece of plum wine golden fish and put it into his mouth, praising repeatedly: "This tastes really good."

Lin Luoling and Chen Yin stood up and saluted Prince An and Princess July.

Prince An raised his fist and coughed twice, then said weakly, "What a coincidence! Yu'er wanted to eat fish, so I brought her to Pinxiangzhai. I didn't expect to meet Miss Lin here by chance."

Lin Luoling did not expose Prince An's words, and smiled and said: "It just so happens that the dishes have just been served. Since it is a coincidence, why not eat together? It will be more lively with more people."

Princess July smiled with her eyes curved, agreed immediately, and sat down on the other side of Lin Luoling. She hugged Lin Luoling's arm and said coquettishly: "I haven't seen Sister Lin for a while. Why don't you come to Prince An's Mansion to play with me?"

Lin Luoling sighed softly and said with emotion: "If I hadn't married, I could go out to play with Princess July every day. Now it's really difficult for me to go out and hang out."

While speaking, Lin Luoling saw from the corner of her eye that Prince An wanted to sit next to her, but Princess July was faster, so Prince An paused and sat down on the other side of Princess July.

Jiang Chi started the conversation and asked, "Sister Ling'er, why did you come so far to have a meal at Pinxiangzhai today?"

Lin Luoling told the story of how Zhou Quan and his wife were burned to death and Nanny Meng was beaten to death in Yongning Marquis's mansion, and sighed softly, "People died in the mansion, so I was a little scared. So I came here to see the scenery and eat, so as not to have a bad sleep at night."

"Are you afraid of these?" Prince An asked with a slight frown.

Lin Luoling told the truth: "I'm not afraid of the dead, but I'm afraid of the evil ones."

Jiang Chi patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of? With my brother here, no one dares to harm you."

After saying that, Jiang Chi secretly glanced at Prince An and Princess Qiyue, and added: "My mother has no daughters, and she dreams of having a daughter. She has liked Ling'er for many years, so she adopted Ling'er as her adopted daughter. Then I am naturally Ling'er's non-blood brother, right?"

Lin Luoling didn't know whether Jiang Chi was talking to Prince An or Princess July, so she changed the subject:

"I just happened to meet the wife of Governor Cao. She told me that she had a house with three entrances and three exits for sale. I had never dealt with the wife of Governor Cao before, and I was so nervous that I forgot to ask her the market price of the house."

Prince An continued, "I heard that Governor Cao's wife is easy to get along with. I think when she mentioned the house to you, she didn't intend to ask for a high price."

Lin Luoling blinked at Prince An and was sure that the house that Governor Cao's wife wanted to sell was instructed by Prince An. It was nominally a sale on the market, but in reality it was a market rent.

An Wang Chao gave her a faint smile, as a way of reassuring her.

When they were halfway through their meal, a serious voice came from outside the door, "Miss, the medicine you requested has been delivered to the Lin residence. When do you plan to pick it up?"

Hearing this, Lin Luoling knew that Zhou Yuanbao had been found.

She said, "Wait outside for a while, and we'll go back to the Lin Mansion together later."

"Yes……"

Chen Yin whispered in Lin Luoling's ear: "Who are you looking for medicine for? Could it be Lan Wanshuang? I tell you, she deserves it. Don't bother looking for medicine for her. Even if you find Tianshan Snow Lotus or thousand-year-old ginseng, you can't save her."

Lin Luoling shook his head and said, "I won't be a fool."

Princess July tilted her head, her eyes wide open, and asked with concern, "Is Sister Lin sick?"

Lin Luoling smiled and replied, "I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I thought about finding some herbs to make tea, but I don't know if it can produce the effect described in the book."

It seemed that he was answering the words of Princess July, but in fact, Lin Luoling was speaking to Prince An.

Prince An put down his chopsticks and said, "Since I have nothing to do, I'll just make some tea. If it doesn't work, just pour it out. It's a good way to kill time. As long as you find it interesting, that's fine."

Princess July was a straightforward person and could not understand the hidden meaning behind the words of Lin Luoling and Prince An.

Lin Luoling wanted to know if she could secretly send someone to take over the renovation of the Qionglou Yuge.

Prince An replied to her that as long as she wanted to accept it, he would do her a favor. Prince An also knew that she wanted to use the second prince Prince Rui to kill Zhou Yuanbao.

The implication was to tell her that even if the Second Prince, Prince Rui, did not send people to secretly kill Zhou Yuanbao, Prince An would still take action, and would frame the Second Prince, Prince Rui, for Zhou Yuanbao's death, and make the First Prince, Prince Jin, suspect that it was the Second Prince, Prince Rui who was responsible.

Since Prince An understood her intention, Lin Luoling let go and dealt with Marquis Yongning and the others.
