In Tianxing Pavilion, Liang Heng felt a little embarrassed as he looked at the stack of banknotes in front of him.

Although the banknotes were retrieved, how should they be handed over to Su Xuqing? As the head of Tianxing Pavilion, he seemed to have no position to help...

If I bring him back under the identity of Shen Xuanheng... it will damage my image as a gentleman...

After much thought, Liang Heng decided to keep the banknote for the time being and return it to Su Xuqing when he found a suitable opportunity in the future.

"White jade."

Behind the screen in the study, Bai Yu slowly stood up.

"What do you want, Pavilion Master?"

Liang Heng drummed his fingers on the table, his eyes deep under the silver mask, "Let the people in the Shadow Hall keep an eye on a small commander named Sudan in the patrol camp. Who he contacts every day and his identity and background must be investigated clearly."

"Understood, Master."

Bai Yu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and then showed doubt on his face. Then he walked to the desk and stood beside Liang Heng.

"Master, is there any problem with this man called Sultan?"

"Yes, he might be in cahoots with Xu Younian. If we want to find out who is instructing them to murder the lady, we can only start with this person and follow the clues."

Bai Yu smiled slightly, showing an expression that said, "As expected. The only person who could make the Pavilion Master care about her is probably her wife."

Liang Heng saw Bai Yu giggling and looked up at her.

"what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I'll tell someone to keep an eye on the Sultan."

After Bai Yu left, Liang Heng simply dealt with the accumulated matters in Tianxing Pavilion.

When he was not around on weekdays, Bai Yu was responsible for handling some small decisions, and some bigger matters would be accumulated and wait for him, the Pavilion Master, to deal with them.

About half of the work was done, Liang Heng finished dealing with the time at hand, left Tianxing Pavilion slightly tired, changed his clothes and returned to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

Working in the Ministry of Justice during the day and in Tianxing Pavilion at night really exhausted him.

In the small courtyard, Su Xuqing sat under the peach tree, resting her chin on the table with one hand, waiting for Shen Xuanheng to come back.

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and Shen Xuanheng stepped into the yard with a box of snacks in his hand.

"Madam, I passed by Xu Fuji on the way back and bought you some snacks. They are freshly baked. Come and have a taste."

"Husband~"

Su Xu called out sweetly, then pulled Shen Xuanheng to sit down.

Shen Xuanheng's bones were almost softened by her shouting, and he asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Why are you shouting so sweetly today?"

"I have something to tell you."

Su Xuqing held Shen Xuanheng's arm and recounted what happened in front of the palace today.

Shen Xuanheng pretended to be ignorant and listened with great interest, then said angrily: "Duke Su and Zhao are really too much! How can parents be so mean!"

"Husband, don't be angry."

Su Xuqing smiled and said slowly, "Although these two people are very annoying, I will take this opportunity to distance myself from them. Besides, my mother and my two sisters-in-law treat me very well, and I am very happy."

Shen Xuanheng's expression relaxed and he smiled slightly. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Although the two sisters-in-law didn't talk much on weekdays, they were really willing to help when there was something going on.

"but……"

Su Xuqing looked puzzled and said in confusion: "But mother once said that the sisters-in-law are not easy to deal with, but it seems that this is definitely not the case now."

“When a person is born, his nature is good.”

Shen Xuanheng pulled Su Xuqing up from the stone bench, held her in his arms, and talked freely: "In fact, most people were good people at the beginning, but later they were trapped by desires. For example, Li, because his son was the only heir suitable to inherit the Zhennan Palace, he always thought highly of himself and acted arrogantly. The other two sisters-in-law kept to themselves and kept to themselves. Why is that? Because they knew that they would have nothing to fight for in the future. Their sons died on the battlefield. Because they had no desire for the title of the palace, their hearts were purer."

"Of course." Shen Xuanheng smiled and said, "I'm not saying that the two sisters-in-law are not good people. In fact, if they were people who curry favor with the powerful, they would definitely revolve around the second house to pave the way for their own retirement in the future. But they didn't do that. Instead, they went the other way and helped the fourth house, which seemed to be the least hopeful. This is enough to prove their character, but this is the truth."

"I understand what you mean. You want to say that the two sisters-in-law are good people, but if your brother were still alive, they would probably fight for fame and use some means, right?"

"good."

Shen Xuanheng nodded slightly, "Obviously, Mother has seen their methods before, so she said they are not easy to deal with."

Su Xuqing thought for a moment and said, "A person is made up of what he or she has experienced. No matter what happened in the past, at least the sisters-in-law are all good people now, and..."

Su Xuqing stretched out her hand and hooked Shen Xuanheng's neck, then lowered her head and said shyly: "And I have promised my sisters-in-law that I will give birth to a few children to provide for their old age."

Shen Xuanheng's eyes lit up when he heard that. He stretched his body lazily, picked up Su Xuqing and walked into the house.

"There is no time to waste."

Su Xuqing's cheeks flushed red, and she punched him in the chest in embarrassment, "You're doing something weird again!"

Outside the Duke's Mansion, Duke Su and Zhao were sitting on the steps, holding a treasure bowl wrapped in clothes in their arms, with smiling expressions on their faces.

"Hehe, with this treasure, I won't have to worry about food and drink anymore."

Zhao covered her mouth and laughed secretly, feeling very happy. But after a while, she suddenly felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "Master, but this treasure needs some magic to be used. It jumps and dances, and we don't know how to do it!"

Duke Su was very proud. "Don't worry. I have memorized the movements and spells of that stinky Taoist priest. We can definitely make silver by following his example."

Zhao was overjoyed and said, "If that's the case, why don't you try it now?"

"Good good."

Duke Su carefully placed the cornucopia on the steps. He reached into his arms and touched it, then slapped his forehead in anger, "I forgot, we have no money now!"

Zhao's face suddenly fell.

"What should we do now? A basin is useless without money!"

Duke Su thought for a moment and grinned, "Don't worry, let's go find Min'er now and ask her to borrow some silver, then conjure up a basin of silver overnight and return it to her double tomorrow. Then, that little beast Su Xuqing will be so jealous."

"Yes! How could I forget Min'er! Let's go and find her money quickly, otherwise we won't even have a place to stay tonight."

The couple's worry turned into joy immediately, and they ran to the Prince of Zhennan's Palace happily.

Zhennan Palace, second room courtyard.

Su Miner had finished washing up. She had specially changed her clothes today, half covering and half revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin on her chest. The incense burner in the room was filled with musk mixed with a slight aphrodisiac effect.
