"Master, I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy. It's better to be careful about everything." Zou said worriedly, holding her chest.

It was strange that everything went so smoothly. The other party didn't even mention the price. She was afraid that this was a trap set by the other party.

She remembered Shan Yue's expression when he said that as if he was deliberately reminding them.

Tie Hongshan stood with his hands behind his back, pondering for a few seconds, and said calmly: "What Madam said does make some sense. They came suddenly and left quickly, as if they were in a hurry."

"Prepare some gifts. I'm going to go find General Zhao and feel out the situation. Tell Ah Lun and the others to behave themselves these days and not get into trouble again. If anything goes wrong, I'll break their legs, hmph."

Zou knew her master's temper, and she was definitely not joking when she said she would break their legs: "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely teach them a lesson."

On the other side, after leaving Yunhuan City, Shen Yian and his group separated from Shan Yue.

Shenjun and Elai went to the Chamber of Commerce base and stood by, responsible for receiving and inspecting the ore sent by the Tie family.

Shen Yian and Zhulong went south and chased after Huangfu Zilong and his group.

As for Lan Die's dowry, the Huangfu family was afraid of attracting too much attention, so they had already secretly sent the large items to Shen Xun. So they only carried gold, silver, jade and jewelry on this trip. They moved very quickly, and they arrived at the destination in just three and a half days.

Taihe City, Guangyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Huang (Huangfu) family has entered the city and has arrived at the restaurant we arranged in advance."

The palace steward was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a centipede-like scar on his face, which made him look particularly ferocious when he spoke.

"Really? That's really fast. I heard that my princess is a great beauty. I wonder if she is as beautiful as they say."

"Wow..."

With the sound of water splashing, Shen Xun stood up from the bathtub and took a step forward. His strong and sturdy body was faintly visible in the misty fog.

Seeing this, the maids who had been on standby on both sides quickly stepped forward and helped him wipe his body.

Soon, Shen Xun wrapped in a bathrobe walked up to the butler who had just spoken, and a wicked smile appeared on his handsome face: "Wei Wei, go tell the people of the Huang family that I want to meet my princess tonight."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Wei nodded. He would not object to any of Shen Xun's ideas because his mission was to obey everything the other party said.

"Go."

Shen Xun waved his hand casually, and after watching Wei Wei walk away, his expression suddenly changed, and a ball of pink flame rose from his palm.

The broken sun disk on the back was real and not real, and its state was very unstable, as if it would completely shatter in the next second.

"Damn it, it seems that if the technique given by the Lord is not practiced to the highest level, there will still be a risk of going berserk."

Taking a deep breath, Shen Xun tried to suppress the restless true energy in his body.

However, he found that the more he suppressed it, the more restless it became. Helplessly, he could only focus his attention on the three maids who were cleaning up the scene behind him.

Gathering the flame in his palm with his backhand, Shen Xun turned around and took two steps, then waved his sleeves to close all the doors and windows.

The three maids were completely stunned when they heard the voice.

Shen Xun took out a hundred taels of silver from his bathrobe and said calmly, "This is a hundred taels of silver."

On the other side, Dongxiang Tower.

The entire restaurant is a private property of the Guangyang Palace. In order to avoid crowds, the restaurant is no longer open to the public.

Now, apart from the shopkeeper, a group of waiters and cooks, the only people left in the restaurant are the Huangfu family and Lan Die.

"Xiao Die, I know you don't want to do this, but not everything can go as planned. I have done everything I could for you and that person over the years."

"Now that you are about to become a princess, your life will be secure in the future, and that person will be happy too."

Lan Die sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the beautiful woman in front of her who was holding her hand and talking incessantly, with a complicated look in her eyes.

The person she had always wanted to see was right in front of her, but when she actually met him, for some reason, she felt that they were so strangers to each other. Every time they seemed to get along harmoniously, she would feel inexplicable pain in her heart.

"Xiaodie, to be honest, it's your mother's fault that she's incompetent. You've suffered all these years following that man." Huangfu Yun said with red eyes and heartache.

"mother…"

Lan Die wanted to say something but stopped herself. She had heard the other party say this too many times. She refuted it every time, but all she got in return was more intense grievance and refutation from the other party.

She really wanted to question the other party, if her father was really that bad, why would she marry him and give birth to me.

But every time these words came to her lips, she saw the other person's eyes, and with the infinite longing in her heart, it was as if a magical force was strangling her throat, and she could not ask these words.

"Dong dong..."

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation between mother and daughter.

Huangfu Yun straightened her image and asked gently, "Who is it?"

"Ayun, it's me. Lunch is ready. Xiaoyi and I are here to call you and Xiaodie."

"Mom, come out and eat!"

After the middle-aged man's voice, a young man's voice was heard.

"Come in, Xiaodie and I are chatting." Huangfu Yun chuckled.

The door opened, and two figures, one tall and one short, came into view.

Lan Die subconsciously clenched her fists. The middle-aged man was named Huangfu Chenfeng, her mother's current husband. The boy next to him, who was about twelve or thirteen years old, was named Huangfu Yi, and they were the couple's child.

Huangfu Yun greeted him naturally, and the three of them were having a great time.

Lan Die stood up and stood where she was. In the atmosphere created by this family of three, she seemed particularly redundant.

During lunch, Wei Wei happened to arrive and conveyed the words of his own prince.

Huangfu Zilong met Wei Wei alone. When he heard what the other party said, he frowned and said, "This is not in line with etiquette. After all, there are still a few days before the wedding. Your prince can't wait so long, right?"

His Huangfu family naturally knew about Shen Xun's situation, so people in the clan pushed Lan Die into this fire pit.

How the other party lives in the future has nothing to do with his Huangfu family, as long as the effect of the marriage is achieved.

Wei Wei said expressionlessly: "I am only responsible for delivering messages. If you have any questions, please go directly to ask my prince."

"Hmph, then I'll trouble Butler Wei to go back and tell your prince that he please wait patiently." Huangfu Zilong snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves.

The marriage between the two families, no matter what Lan Die's status is, this move is undoubtedly a slap in the face of his Huangfu family. How dare you, a powerless and idle prince? !

Without the help of the "Lord" and his Huangfu family, it would be unclear whether Shen Xun could maintain his position as prince.

"I will tell the prince." Wei Wei didn't say much and turned to leave. The message had been conveyed. If the other party did not agree, he could just convey the other party's words to his own prince.

"What's wrong, Zilong? What does Weiwei want to talk to us about?" Huangfu Chenfeng asked when he saw Weiwei leaving.

"It's nothing. By the way, how is the situation at home?" Huangfu Zilong shook his head and asked about the situation at home.

It was hard not to pay attention to that earth-shaking battle. The battle took place in the Tiancang Mountains. How could they not be worried?

Huangfu Chenfeng shook his head: "The people we sent out haven't come back yet, but with the old ancestor in charge, there won't be any problems."

"Well, let's hope so." Huangfu Zilong sighed. His right eyelid has been twitching since he left the family residence.

An unknown teahouse in the city.

Shen Yian drank his tea, looked at Xuemei who came over and took a seat, and asked with a smile: "Is everyone here?"
