Zhu Xianzhi never expected Lin Luoling to say such a thing and was stunned.

Lin Luoling stood up very seriously and said to Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun: "Since I'm married to him, it's not a good idea to stay in the Lin Mansion. It's time to go back."

Before coming, Lin Luoling, Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun guessed the purpose of Zhu Xianzhi's visit and worked out a countermeasure on the way.

Although it was Lin Luoling who proposed it, Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun were reluctant to let their daughter go back to the dark cave of Yongning Marquis Mansion to fight wits and courage with that group of jackals, tigers and leopards.

Lin Luoling simply and concisely stated the plan in his mind.

After hearing this, Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun both thought it was the best strategy and agreed.

When Lin Luoling said this, Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun were not surprised at all. They looked reluctant and spoke one after another.

Lin Tingxu said: "If you want to go back, then go back. If there is anything, send someone back to let me know."

He Jinchun turned around and asked Madam Qi to help Lin Luoling pack her clothes and skirts, and then said, "The wife of the Ningyuan Marquis is still in the mansion, so you must not make too much noise. Prepare the return gift and let Ling'er take it back to the Yongning Marquis's mansion."

It was not until Lin Luoling and Nanny Qi left the Jinbi Hua Ting that Zhu Xianzhi gradually came back to his senses.

How come this is totally different from what he thought?

He originally wanted to exchange a few pleasantries with Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun so as to talk about the shop, but he didn't expect Jiang Feng to come hurriedly and said politely, "Master, Madam, something big has happened."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingxu's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at He Jinchun and said to Zhu Xianzhi, "Just wait here for Ling'er."

The master and his two servants left the Golden Palace.

Aunt Qi selected a few return gifts. Seeing them, Lin Luoling shook her head and said, "They are greedier than each other, and they are wolves that can never be tamed. Why waste these good things?

My mother took a few rolls of silk a few days ago, saying that the color was a bit old-fashioned and the pattern was not good, so she gave it to you and asked you to give it to a few housekeepers to make skirts. Are those rolls of silk still available?"

Aunt Qi replied, "They are all there. They are all there. It's not a festival, so I'll put them in an unused cabinet in my room. I'll give them to the maids in charge next month, as it's the Hundred Flowers Festival."

Lin Luoling looked at the skirt that Hualian brought over, waved her hand, signaling Hualian to put it back, and turned to Madam Qi and said, "Just wrap up those pieces of silk, and go to the stewards to get a few cans of tea."

Nanny Qi agreed and told Hualian and Xiangjin to be careful and to bring more clothes and jewelry for Lin Luoling rather than less.

Lin Luoling pursed her lips and smiled. After Aunt Qi left, she pushed a few jewelry boxes aside and said, "You don't need to bring any gold or silver jewelry."

She only asked Hualian to pack the dress she had chosen for Zhou Jiaoling a few days ago, and put the things she had asked Jiang Feng to make for her into the box.

Looking at the empty box, Hualian and Xiangjin looked at each other and tried to persuade Lin Luoling. But Lin Luoling insisted on doing so, so they had no choice but to give up.

Even when Nanny Qi and her maids brought the silk and tea that Lin Luoling wanted and put them in one by one, the box was still not full.

Lin Luoling closed the box and asked the maid to move it to the carriage.

Madam Qi hesitated for a long time about what to say. Thinking that their young lady was a person with her own opinions, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Zhu Xianzhi sat alone in the Golden Palace for a short while before a maid hurried over to tell him, "The young lady has already gone to the gate of the mansion. She was afraid that the young master would not know the way, so she asked the old servant to lead the way for him."

Zhu Xianzhi said in a fake tone: "It is not proper to leave without greeting your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

The old woman said, "The master and the mistress have just left the house. You should hurry up and follow me. Don't keep the young lady waiting for too long."

There were two carriages parked in front of the mansion. Zhu Xianzhi paused for a moment, then pulled aside the curtain of the carriage behind him and said in a deep voice, "Second Young Master, please take Sister Ling'er's carriage."

Zhu Xianzhi nodded, got on the carriage, and saw Lin Luoling fiddling with a wooden Luban lock quite seriously.

He sat down next to Lin Luoling, and the carriage moved slowly.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Xianzhi took out the shop list given to him by Yongning Hou and handed it to Lin Luoling.

He said, "My mother-in-law asked me to find out about the shop before. I drew up this list. Take a look at it first."

Lin Luoling turned to look at him, and didn't say anything for a long time. Her expression was exactly like, please continue talking.

He's done...isn't it obvious?

Zhu Xianzhi thought for a moment and felt that Lin Luoling might not have understood, so he continued, "I found out about five shops. You are my wife. As a sign of respect, shouldn't I ask for your opinion first on everything?

Which two of these five shops do you think my mother-in-law would choose?"

Lin Luoling's eyes widened. "How can I know which two rooms my mother chose? Why didn't you ask my mother just now?"

Zhu Xianzhi thought to himself, you have to give me a chance to ask.

Zhu Xianzhi suppressed his displeasure and patiently spoke again: "Take a look first and see which two shops are suitable. It is said that mother and daughter are connected by heart. Maybe you and your mother-in-law will have the same idea. When she finds out in the future, won't she be happy?"

Lin Luoling took the list and looked at it carefully. The two shops proposed by Prince An were not on it.

She sighed softly, and when she raised her head again, she looked so delicate and weak, and she acted very well.

In his previous life, Zhu Xianzhi acted dumb and honest. Ever since Zhu Xianzhi took out the shop list, Lin Luoling knew what he was thinking and treated him in his own way.

Therefore, Lin Luoling played dumb even better than Zhu Xianzhi.

Zhu Xianzhi was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Luoling frowned and replied, "Before I married you, my mother took care of all the affairs of the mansion. I have never been in contact with shops or food. I don't even know where the five shops above are. How can I help you choose?"

Seeing Lin Luoling's frown, Zhu Xianzhi thought: She is beautiful but stupid.

What he said was so obvious, but Lin Luoling couldn't understand. He was obviously asking Lin Luoling to go back and ask He Jinchun for the shop. Who would care whether it was the shop written on the list?

But Lin Luoling seemed not to understand.

Zhu Xianzhi smiled, took the list, and said, "I didn't think it through." He was too lazy to talk to Lin Luoling anymore.

Lin Luoling continued to play with the Luban Lock.

Just before she was about to leave the house, she happened to meet her father, mother and Jiang Feng. Her mother told her that Prince An's cough had worsened, and the Governor of Xuzhou, Cao Peng, had gone to Rende Hall to find Doctor Pang and asked him to go to Prince An's house to treat him.

How could Dr. Pang, with his stubborn temper, listen to Cao Peng?

When the shopkeeper’s persuasion failed, he sent someone to find Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was also unable to dispatch Doctor Pang, and as it was concerning Prince An's old illness, he reported the matter to Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun.

Lin Luoling heard that three fires broke out one after another. Cao Peng ordered a thorough investigation and learned that Liu Bo had been to Qionglou Yuge and was familiar with the burned man.

He ordered the officers and soldiers to take Liu Bo to the governor's mansion.

Unexpectedly, when the officers and soldiers went to Liu Bo's house and knocked on the door for a long time, no one opened it. They kicked the door open and found the house was empty.

Liu Bo's whereabouts were unknown, so Cao Peng naturally suspected Bingcao Congshi, and immediately put him in jail.

Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun were walking in a hurry. Jiang Feng only said this and then quickly followed her father and mother.

With something on his mind, Lin Luoling fiddled with the Lu Ban Lock for a long time but couldn't open it. He threw the Lu Ban Lock aside and closed his eyes in deep thought.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Xianzhi became even more certain that Lin Luoling was beautiful but stupid, spoiled and willful.

Lin Luoling closed her eyes and thought to herself, was the fire in Prince An's mansion real or fake? Why did Prince An pretend that his cough was getting worse?
