The son-in-law is too shy

With the help of the crown prince, Xu Huai'an became a hands-off shopkeeper, enjoying himself at leisure.

The prince was also conscientious, reporting the situation to Xu Huaian every day.

King Qi was away, and King Jin was extra cautious. In so many days, besides the palace, it was Prince Jin's mansion. Occasionally, he went to the Konghe Tower to sit for a while.

The prince even asked if he wanted to stare at Diankong Crane Tower.

Xu Huai'an hesitated for a while, then agreed, and only said to see who he was in contact with.

After arranging the prince's side, Xu Huai'an sent a letter to Lin Lang again, bluntly saying that when he came back, he wanted to meet her, and asked her not to tell anyone.

Lin Lang was obviously taken aback when he received the news, she didn't expect Xu Huai'an to come to Luoyang so soon, she left quietly immediately, and came to the place instructed by Xu Huai'an.

The moment she approached the small courtyard, Lin Lang knew that she was being watched by someone, and there was more than one person.

She frowned slightly, she wasn't sure whether these people were enemies or friends, but she was still tense all over, ready to go.

At this moment, the gate of the small courtyard in front of him was suddenly opened, and Mi Yan, who was dressed in red, stood there with a smile on his face.

"Boss Lin, long time no see." Mi Yan said with a smile.

"Miss Mi." Lin Lang bent his lips into a chuckle, relaxed quietly, and said with a smile, "Where is the young master?"

"Just wait inside." Mi Yan made way sideways.

"Thank you." Lin Lang nodded slightly, strode into the courtyard, and saw a woman in black sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard.

Lin Lang frowned, stepped forward with a smile, and said, "I haven't seen you for two years, and the young master has become more and more fresh."

Xu Huaian raised his head, nodded slightly at Lin Lang and said, "Aunt Lin."

Hearing Xu Huai'an call him Aunt Lin again after two years, Lin Lang only felt a little inexplicably sad.

"It's good to be back." Lin Lang sighed with emotion, and then said: "Have you ever met your mother?"

Xu Huai'an shook his head: "What I do can easily implicate them, let's talk about it after the matter is completed, not to mention my mother, I think people will be watching."

Lin Lang's expression froze, he hesitated for a while and said, "But now, everyone knows that you may be dead."

"It's possible." Xu Huai'an smiled lightly, "They didn't get what they wanted, so naturally they won't let me go."

Lin Lang frowned, then looked at Xu Huai'an and said, "What are your orders, young master?"

"Stare at King Jin." Xu Huai'an said in a deep voice.

"Prince Jin?" Lin Lang was puzzled.

"He has something to do with Xuan Yin." Xu Huai'an's voice was flat, but Lin Lang was a little taken aback.

In her impression, in the past, Li Chengyu was just a dude who had nothing to do and was idle every day. Such a person would actually be a member of Xuanyin Palace.

But seeing Xu Huai'an's swearing appearance, Lin Lang didn't doubt him, he just said: "I've made a note, don't worry, young master."

"En." Xu Huai'an nodded, and then said: "You are the only one who knows about this, don't tell others, it's best that you do it yourself, I can't trust others."

Lin Lang nodded solemnly: "I remember."

Xu Huai'an ordered Lin Lang some more things, and asked Lin Lang to go back first, while she changed into her attire and went out.

She didn't bring Miyan, but came to the back door of Princess Ningyang's mansion alone.

The back door had already been sealed, Xu Huai'an watched his brows move slightly, but seeing no one around, he jumped in.

The princess mansion is still the same as before, but weeds are overgrown, and it has become extremely desolate without taking care of it.

Xu Huai'an wandered aimlessly. Although she hadn't lived here for a long time, she already knew everything here.

Pushing open the door of the bedroom, dust came oncoming, Xu Huai'an had to wave his hands away before walking in.

The furnishings in the bedroom are not much different from when she left, even retaining some small living habits of the two of them.

Xu Huai stood quietly in the room for a long time before finally choosing to retreat.

Just when she was about to leave, Xu Huai'an suddenly became alert when she heard a slight sound. The other party actually sensed that she had been found, and with a flash of cold light, she drew her sword and stabbed at Xu Huai'an.

Xu Huai'an frowned slightly, and on one side of his body, he saw the icy sword edge passing by in front of him. The other party was obviously a little stunned that Xu Huai'an could dodge the sword, and Xu Huai'an took advantage of this moment to quickly grab the man. He swiped the weapon at the man with his backhand, but when he saw the man's face, he was slightly taken aback, and the sword edge was deflected, saying that the man's hair brushed against him.

The visitor was also stunned when he saw Xu Huai'an, and forgot to fight back for a while.

Xu Huai'an quickly dropped his sword, looked at the person and said in surprise, "Miss Xiuqing, why are you here?"

Jiang Xiuqing also looked at the person in front of her incredulously, before she spoke after a long while, "Grandpa? What's wrong with you?"

Xu Huai'an said helplessly, "I am indeed a woman."

"Snapped!"

Xu Huai'an never expected that Jiang Xiuqing would slap her, the crisp sound made her feel a little dazed.

"How could you do this, even though you are a woman, you still want to provoke the young palace master, so that the young palace master is now dead!" Jiang Xiuqing trembled angrily, accusing her sharply.

"I..." Xu Huai'an covered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, then looked at Jiang Xiuqing and said, "San Niang knows that I am a woman."

This time, Jiang Xiuqing was completely stunned.

Xu Huai'an had no choice but to tell her the whole story. After listening, Jiang Xiuqing froze in place, and looked at Xu Huai'an guiltily after a while.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I shouldn't have shot you without asking..."

Xu Huai'an smiled helplessly: "It's okay, I'm happy that you care about her."

Jiang Xiuqing's eyes turned red when she heard the words: "Young Palace Master has shown me the kindness of knowing and reinventing me, but it's a pity that I haven't repaid the favor, so the Young Palace Master has gone."

Xu Huaian pursed his lips, and then said: "By the way, Miss Xiuqing, you haven't told me yet, why are you here?"

Jiang Xiuqing pursed her lips and said, "I don't believe that the Young Palace Master will die like this, so I will stay here and wait for the Young Palace Master to come back."

Xu Huai'an was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then smiled warmly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Xiuqing shook her head, and then said: "Master, where have you been all these years, and you know martial arts? I thought you also..."

"I was brought back to the Western Regions." Xu Huai'an said: "I came back this time just to pick up Sanniang and find her. I want to see people when I live, and I want to see the corpse when I die."

Jiang Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, then Xu Huai'an chuckled lightly: "Okay, let's not talk about this, would you like to come with me first?"

Jiang Xiuqing nodded: "Okay, I will follow my uncle to find the Young Palace Master."

Xu Huaian smiled: "Okay, let's go."

"Ah."

Xu Huai'an went out alone, and when he came back, there was another person behind him, Mi Yan raised his eyebrows when he saw the person coming, and when he was about to speak, he saw Xu Huai'an's flushed cheeks, and couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong with you, who hit you? I'll go and clean her up!"

Jiang Xiuqing had seen Mi Yan's fierceness before, so she subconsciously hid behind Xu Huai'an with a slightly embarrassed face.

Xu Huai'an looked at it with some helplessness on his face, then he glanced at Mi Yan and said, "Go and arrange a room for Miss Xiuqing to live in, and bring me some medicine later."

After saying that, she went back to her room, Mi Yan curled her lips at her back, then looked at Jiang Xiuqing who was stiff all over and said, "Come with me, if the young master disagrees, I will naturally not attack you. Are you her sweetheart's follower?"

Jiang Xiuqing: "..."

After arranging Jiang Xiuqing, Mi Yan took the ointment and went to find Xu Huai'an. In the room, Xu Huai'an looked at the bronze mirror in front of him, stroking the cheek that Jiang Xiuqing slapped with his fingers, and hissed.

Mi Yan pushed the door and entered, just in time to see this scene, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said gloatingly: "I never imagined that you will be slapped in the face one day, young master."

Xu Huai'an cast a white glance at her along the bronze mirror, and then said, "Where are the medicines?"

"Nun." Mi Yan handed her the ointment bottle, and then asked with a smile: "Hey, why did Jiang Xiuqing slap you? Didn't she take good care of you before?"

Xu Huaian twitched his lips when he heard this, and quietly applied the medicine to himself.

But Mi Yan chattered and said, "Hey, did she slap you because she found out that you were a girl and thought you lied to Li Qiushuang?"

Xu Huai'an immediately turned dark, put down the ointment, and looked at Mi Yan expressionlessly: "Shut up, get out!"

Seeing this, Mi Yan quickly suppressed her smile, ran out quickly, and closed the door.

Xu Huaian: "..."

With the help of the crown prince and Lin Lang, Xu Huaian soon got two pieces of useful news.

Lin Lang said that Li Chengyu still sat in that position every time he came to the Konghe Tower. The difference was that he would ask Fu Yuyi to play the piano for him almost every time, and it seemed that he had something on his mind.

It is common to eat wine and listen to music, but it is unusual if it is too common, Xu Huaian couldn't help telling Lin Lang to pay attention to Fu Yuyi.

Lin Lang was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and finally nodded and agreed.

Xu Huaian naturally understands why Lin Lang is so entangled. She has known Fu Yuyi for more than 20 years. She helped Fu Yuyi in the most difficult time and helped Fu Yuyi learn art. Naturally, it was difficult for her to accept it.

She has always hated betrayal the most, let alone the person next to her pillow.

After nearly half a month of follow-up, the prince finally got a piece of valuable news.

One night, Li Chengyu went out from the back door of Prince Jin's Mansion, got into an unremarkable carriage, turned all the way out of Luoyang, and walked for about an hour to a Zhuangzi.

The people of the Jinwu Guard noticed that there were countless secret whistles, and they hurried back to report to Li Chengxu for fear of being alarmed. Li Chengxu sent a letter to Xu Huai'an as soon as he got the news.

Seeing Li Chengxu's news, Xu Huai'an's eyes darkened a little. If Li Qiushuang was still alive, she might have been brought here.

She thought about it, and immediately found Mi Yan and told her that she wanted to go to Zhuangzi to check it out in person.

Mi Yan naturally disagreed, she would not agree that Xu Huai'an took the risk alone, and on the grounds that it might be a cover, she had to think long term.

"Young master has been waiting for such a long time, why not wait any longer, lest all previous efforts be wasted."

As if moved by Mi Yan's words, Xu Huai'an also calmed down, and wrote a letter to the crown prince, asking him to pay close attention to all the movements in Zhuangzi.

She has endured it for a long time, and she can bear it a little longer. What she wants is a poisonous arrow that is sure to hit, so as to shoot through and eat away at the alliance between Li Chenghan and Li Chengyu.
