Yinhuan looked at his nose and his heart, and hurriedly left the house, not daring to disturb the two of them.

Su Xuqing rolled her eyes at Shen Xuanheng in reproach and complained, "You are tired, why don't you just rest in the room? What are you waiting for me outside?"

As she spoke, Su Xuqing's eyes showed suspicion. She reached out and touched Shen Xuanheng's forehead, "Why did you sweat so much while walking?"

Shen Xuanheng's eyes turned quickly, and he laughed dryly twice and said, "Maybe the weather is too hot. I just drank a few sips of hot tea, so it's natural to sweat after walking a few steps."

"Is that so? Then, my husband, go take a bath and rest early."

Seeing that Su Xuqing had no doubts, Shen Xuanheng hugged her slender waist from behind and said, "Madam, let's take a shower together?"

"Oh, why are you like this?"

Su Xuqing hesitated and tried to break free from his evil embrace, but she couldn't get out no matter what, as if Shen Xuanheng was holding her too tightly.

So, half-heartedly, the two of them took a bath together.

The clouds are lingering, shyly covering the moonlight.

The next day, Su Xuqing got up early, wrote a letter and gave it to Yinhuan, asking her to deliver it to Sun Youwei so that she could make preparations early to avoid delaying good things.

Near noon, Shen Xuanheng saw that Su Xuqing had no intention of leaving for the banquet, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "Madam, why haven't you gone to West Lake yet?"

Su Xuqing hummed a little tune, smiled without saying a word, and saw that Shen Xuanheng was confused.

Although he didn't know why Su Xuqing was not in a hurry, Liang Heng had already agreed to attend the banquet, so someone was a little impatient, after all, he still had to change his clothes.

"Madam, I heard that the palace has just received a batch of medicinal herbs from the Western Regions, including some that are good for replenishing the body and qi. I'm going to the palace today, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you to West Lake."

Su Xuqing had no intention of going. She smiled and reminded him, "Then you must bring back more medicinal herbs so that I can treat you well."

"Don't worry, I'll take whatever you have."

Shen Xuanheng said this jokingly, and then left the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

The carriage headed towards the imperial palace. When it arrived outside the palace gate, Shen Xuanheng sent away the coachman from his family, then got on the Tianxing Pavilion's carriage and hurried to West Lake.

The breeze is gentle and warm by the West Lake.

When Liang Heng got off the carriage, he saw Sun Youwei waiting by the lake.

"Miss Sun."

Liang Heng bowed and greeted, and Sun Youwei came over gracefully, her cheeks slightly red. "Pavilion Master Liang is really here. Youwei has already set up a banquet, and even invited Pavilion Master to board the boat to drink and chat happily."

"Ok?"

After Liang Heng stepped onto the boat, he was stunned for a moment and quickly realized that something was wrong.

What do you mean Youwei has already arranged a banquet? Wasn't it Su Xuqing who arranged the banquet today?

Shen Xuanheng's mind was a mess, but when he saw Sun Youwei's shy look, he suddenly understood. No wonder Su Xuqing was always laughing inexplicably last night, and no wonder she didn't put on makeup and was in a hurry to go out at noon today.

It turns out that he was trying to set up a match for Sun Youwei...

Liang Heng had a complicated look in his eyes, he had never expected that this Miss Sun would be interested in him. No, that's not right, there were signs of this already, previously on the pleasure boat, he noticed that Sun Youwei was staring at him, but he just didn't take it to heart.

But now he was on the pirate ship, and the boatman was rowing the boat to the lake pavilion. Liang Heng couldn't turn his face against her at this moment, right? In any case, this Miss Sun and his wife were already half friends...

Liang Heng felt a little headache. This was not going to be easy.

However, at this moment, the instigator was lying under a peach tree, enjoying the cool air leisurely, and imagining in his mind how far the relationship between Sun Youwei and Liang Heng had progressed.

"Oh my, there wouldn't be anyone who doesn't like a woman like Miss Sun, right?"

Su Xuqing gently shook the rattan chair under her, and then said to herself: "It's a pity that Pavilion Master Liang's face was disfigured... But if I can get the "Shennong Herbal Classic", it won't be difficult to remove this old scar..."

"Ma'am, ma'am."

Just when Su Xuqing was secretly happy, Yinhuan suddenly ran over with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Su Xuqing suddenly sat up with a serious expression, wondering if those idiots from the second house were looking for trouble again.

Yinhuan quickly shook her head and sobbed, "Madam, I want to ask for leave and go back to the village."

Su Xuqing frowned slightly, "What's going on? Is there something wrong at home?"

"My father has been ill for several days. If the villagers hadn't told me when they went to the market, I wouldn't have known about it."

When Yinhuan said this, her eyes subconsciously stared at her toes and her fingers kept stirring.

Su Xuqing and Yinhuan have been together for some time and know Yinhuan very well. Whenever she makes these little movements while talking, it can be guaranteed that she is hiding something and dare not tell her.

After just a little thought, Su Xuqing had a guess.

"Could it be that Qingzhu went to avenge your father after leaving the palace?"

Yinhuan's shoulders trembled and she cried even harder.

"You damn girl!"

Su Xuqing was so angry that she poked Yinhuan on the forehead with her hand, "She has gone so far, and you are still hiding it for her. Have your brains flowed into your chest?"

Yinhuan was so scared when she saw Su Xuqing getting angry that she immediately knelt on the ground.

"No, Madam, I'm not hiding it for her. Yinhuan knows that Madam is a good person. If she knew, she would definitely help me vent my anger. But Yinhuan is just a maid. How can I always make Madam worry and trouble... I..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let the coachman prepare the carriage, and we will set off to your house now."

Yinhuan was so moved that she cried and went to find the coachman.

Shitou Village, Yinhuan’s hometown.

This place is more than 20 miles away from the capital, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is named Stone Village because there is a big stone at the entrance of the village that rolled down from the mountain many years ago.

Twenty miles is not far, and it will only take half an hour if you ride at a fast speed.

The carriage of the palace was not luxurious, but the carved mahogany was eye-catching. As soon as it entered the village, it attracted many villagers' attention. Some curious people even trotted behind the carriage to see whose house the nobleman in the carriage was going to.

The carriage turned around in the village and stopped outside a dilapidated courtyard.

The wall of the yard is made of yellow mud wrapped in straw. After so many years of wind and rain, part of the wall has collapsed.

Yinhuan got off the carriage and hurried into the yard.

"Dad! My daughter is back!"

Before entering the house, Yinhuan started crying again. When she saw the haggard middle-aged man lying on the bed, she cried even harder.

Yinhuan's name was given by the housekeeper after she entered the palace. Her real name was Li, and the man lying on the bed was her father Li Er. The villagers were uneducated, so sometimes they gave names carelessly.

Li Er forced a smile when he saw his daughter coming back.

"Kid, don't cry. Daddy is fine. He's just angry."

As he said this, he looked at Su Xuqing who came in from the door. He was shocked by her gorgeous dress. He asked in a panic, "Who is this noble lady..."

Yinhuan sniffed his nose and was a little proud when he introduced himself.

"This is my wife!"
