Chapter 49 Let's sleep for a night

It took Su Xing nearly an hour to get back to the Shangshu Mansion. Although he was exhausted, he was full of anticipation.

In this world, Shangshu Mansion is the only place that makes him feel warm and kind.

Although he didn't spend much time with Su Yuan and his wife, he already regarded them as important family members.

When he thought of Zhang's caring face and words, his heart felt warm, just like the feeling of basking in the sun in the middle of winter.

So he quickened his pace and almost trotted into Zhang's yard.

The servants in the yard were startled at first when they saw the young master whom they had not seen for a few days, and then happily ran to report the news.

Zhang was just about to eat. She had just picked up her chopsticks when she heard that her son had returned. She immediately threw down her chopsticks, lifted her skirt and ran to the door.

"Mom, I'm back." Su Xing stopped when he saw Zhang, then grinned foolishly.

"Okay, my dear son!" Zhang walked forward quickly and stretched out her hand impatiently.

Ever since Su Xing "reformed himself", Zhang has become even more fond of him. She wishes she could hold him in her arms, kiss him, hug him and lift him up high like she did when he was a child.

Su Xing was afraid that Zhang would pull him into her arms and abuse him like she did the previous two times, so when Zhang reached out her hand, he grabbed it.

"Mom, have you been well these past two days?" Su Xing asked with concern, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Okay, all good." Zhang smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes. She looked satisfied with her son no matter how she looked at him.

It's no wonder that she is the one who gave birth to this child. She is so adorable.

At this moment, she wished she could tell the whole world, especially those noble ladies who once laughed at her for giving birth to a idiot. She had to let them know that her son was no longer a idiot but had become a successful person!

Su Xing didn’t know what Zhang was thinking, but as long as she was happy, it was fine.

"How's Dad?" Su Xing turned to ask Su Yuan: "Is Dad doing well too?"

Zhang was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. Her son had really grown up. He not only cared about her, but also cared about his father. This was simply impossible before.

"Don't worry." Zhang patted her son's hand and said, "Your father is fine too."

"That's good." Su Xing nodded with relief.

The mother and son talked for a while until a kind-looking woman next to them said, "Madam, Master, please go inside and talk. The food is getting cold."

Zhang finally reacted and asked hurriedly, "By the way, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Su Xing touched his stomach and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Oh, it's all mother's fault. I was too busy talking to you." Zhang hurriedly dragged Su Xing into the house, and at the same time told the maid who had just reminded her: "Aunt Wang, ask the kitchen to prepare a few more delicious dishes, and quickly."

"Yes, ma'am." Aunt Wang agreed with a smile, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

The mother and son walked into the house and sat down. Zhang handed her chopsticks to Su Xing and said, "Xing'er, you eat first. The other dishes will be ready soon."

A considerate maid had already brought another set of bowls and chopsticks. Su Xing took them and handed them to Zhang: "Yes, mother, eat with us."

"Okay, mom will accompany you." Zhang agreed with a smile and kept putting food into her son's bowl.

The mother and son ate and chatted, and soon talked about the blind date.

"Okay, the meeting time is set, it's the day after tomorrow. I was just about to send you a letter, and you're back just in time." Zhang served her son another bowl of soup and handed it to him.

"Thank you, mother." Su Xing took the soup and replied with a smile: "The day after tomorrow is no problem. What time? Where can we meet?"

"It's in Tingfeng Tower, the best restaurant in the imperial city." Zhang had a proud expression on her face, and then she carefully instructed: "Go at noon, it's lunch time."

"Okay, mother, don't worry, I'll take note of it." Su Xing nodded with a smile.

"That girl is the daughter of your father's subordinate. Her name is Lin Lan'er. She just turned seventeen this year and is one year younger than you." Zhang had met her once and was very satisfied.

After hearing the detailed introduction, Su Xing felt like he was really going on a blind date and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He actually hasn't been in a relationship yet, but he has been pursued by girls a few times. However, he was focused on studying and did not agree.

Zhang was an experienced person. She noticed her son's shyness at a glance and was stunned for a moment.

Her son, who read pornographic books all day long and even did such an ugly thing as confessing his love in public, actually feels shy?

Her son had indeed changed his character. She was a little worried at first, afraid that he would harm the girl, but now she is completely relieved.

An hour had passed after the meal.

Su Xing was full and satisfied, and he was no longer so angry about Ye Linghan abandoning him.

He was thinking about whether he should go back to the Regent's Palace, otherwise Ye Linghan would definitely cause trouble for him.

But then he thought, it was Ye Linghan who abandoned him first, and it wasn't his fault, so he might as well sleep at home for a night before going back.

So he said goodbye to Zhang and returned to his own courtyard.

Ye Linghan had been waiting for Su Xing in the study room. Two hours had passed and Su Xing still hadn't shown up.

His expression became increasingly ugly, and the aura emanating from him became increasingly colder.

Tianyi could hardly hold on any longer. He endured the horrible air pressure while praying in his heart that Su Xing would come back soon.

He also didn't expect that his master would actually abandon Su Xing. This behavior was not only strange, but also a bit childish. It was not something his master would do at all...

Another hour passed before footsteps were finally heard outside the door.

Ye Linghan seemed to have no reaction, but his hand holding the memorial suddenly tightened, as if the contents of the memorial made him very unhappy.

Tianyi looked out the door eagerly, anticipation written all over his face.

Unfortunately, the person who came was not Su Xing, but Wang Meng, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

"Your Highness!" Wang Meng's expression was a little strange: "Chen Lin said he has something important to tell you."

When Ye Linghan saw that the person coming was not Su Xing, he could no longer control the anger that had been pent up in his heart for a long time: "How dare you! You have to ask me to investigate a case, what use do you have?"

Wang Meng was so frightened that he trembled all over. He explained in panic and helplessness: "Regent, calm down. Chen Lin said that this matter concerns the whereabouts of Marquis Mu Yuan. He is only willing to tell you..."

Hearing this, Ye Linghan, who was about to get angry again, paused slightly. He looked at Wang Meng sharply and suddenly stood up.

Tianyi knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately ordered the guards outside to prepare the carriage.

Tianyi drove the carriage himself, and it went very fast. It took only an incense stick of time to reach the Ministry of Justice.

Ye Lingchen walked ahead with a grim look on his face, and something seemed to be flickering in his bottomless black eyes.

As soon as Liu Yan received the news, he was waiting at the door of the Ministry of Justice prison. In addition to shock, there was also a hint of excitement on his face.

But when they walked quickly into the prison, they saw a guard with a panicked face running out of the prison.

As soon as he saw Liu Yan, he immediately lost control and shouted: "Sir, Chen is asking for death..."
