After staying in Sujia Village for a day, Su Li and Ji Tinglan returned to the town at night.

Having found out that she was the princess, Ji Tinglan completed the task entrusted by Pei Chuan.

Of course, he also had to return to Beijing as soon as possible to report.

However, Su Zheng and the others still need some time to deal with family affairs, so Su Li and the others will have to wait for them.

After returning to the town, Ji Tinglan first sent a letter to Duke Ji, Pei Chuan and Prince Chun in the capital, informing them that the princess had been found. As for the fact that the princess was Su Li, he only told Duke Ji when he sent the letter back to the capital.

The next morning.

Ji Tinglan took the gifts that he and Pei Chuan asked him to bring to Changqing Academy to visit the dean, who was also their master, Dean Li.

Su Li went to find Su Xiaocui.

Su Xiaocui's family moved to the town before she came to Beijing last year. The new home was only one street away from Su Li's home, and she walked there alone.

When they arrived at the door, Su Xiaocui just came out. Seeing Su Li, she was very happy: "Ali! You're here!"

Su Li raised an eyebrow: "Did you know I was coming back?"

Otherwise, why do we say "you are here" instead of "you are back"?

Su Xiaocui smiled and said, "I heard about it the day you came back. I thought you must be busy returning to Taohua Village and Sujia Village first, so I didn't bother you."

Then he said enthusiastically: "Come in and sit down."

The two of them walked into the house affectionately.

As soon as they entered the house, Su Li put a large box on the table: "These are some snacks from the capital. I think they can be kept for a long time and taste good, so I brought some back for you to try."

Then he opened the box, revealing a variety of exquisite snacks and food inside: "Try it."

Su Xiaocui looked amazed.

"This is the first time I've seen such beautiful snacks."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece and carefully put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully.

"It's fragrant and soft, and has the scent of lotus. What is this?"

Su Li smiled and said, "Did you figure it out? This is lotus cake."

Then he asked, "Where are your Lin Dong and Xiao Huzi? Why can't I see them?"

Su Xiaocui poured tea for Su Li and said, "Lin Dong and little Hu Huzi went to the capital."

"Going to the capital?"

Su Li was not surprised by this. In the original novel, Xiao Huzi did go to the capital and kept in touch with Ji Zhao. When Ji Zhao lost his mother and sister and lost both legs, he always stayed with him and encouraged him. He was a very sincere and kind boy.

But she didn't know exactly when Xiao Huzi entered the capital.

"Yes, a while ago, a potter from the capital came to our place looking for the best clay. He suddenly took a fancy to our little tiger and wanted to take him in as his apprentice and teach him the art of pottery..."

Little Tiger didn't like studying or practicing martial arts since he was a child. Instead, he liked playing with mud and often made some strange things with mud, which made Su Xiaocui very worried.

Unexpectedly, his son was so lucky that he was noticed by a potter from the capital and was accepted as his apprentice.

"Little Huzi's master was going back to the capital, so he followed him. Lin Dong and Second Uncle were worried, so they followed him too. They said they wanted to see Little Huzi arrive safely in the capital before they could feel at ease."

"I see……"

Su Li nodded. The original book also mentioned that Xiao Huzi was learning pottery, so she naturally knew about it.

"Xiao Huzi and the others just left five or six days ago. I was thinking that since you've been back for a couple of days, you should be able to run into them along the way."

"There's more than one way to the capital. Perhaps we took different routes, or perhaps we were both in the carriage and didn't recognize each other."

"Yeah, that's true."

Su Xiaocui asked again, "How are you and Pei Ji doing in the capital? My mother told me that Su Jin is also serving as an official in the capital."

The fact that Ji Tinglan was the eldest son and grandson of Duke Ji's Mansion was known to few people here except Ji Tinglan and Su Li's family, so Su Xiaocui naturally had no way of knowing it.

Su Li nodded: "Ajin returned from the border last year and is now serving in the military camp in the capital."

Afterwards, I told her a brief account of Ji Tinglan.

In the original novel, little Hu Huzi eventually became the royal potter in the palace, and Su Xiaocui and her husband later settled in the capital.

Rather than letting her find out about their relationship from other people, it would be better for her to tell her so as to avoid any misunderstandings.

Of course, there was no mention of her being a princess. There are always unexpected things, and her identity as a princess has not been truly confirmed, so there is naturally no need to reveal it early.

Su Xiaocui was so surprised that she was stunned: "No wonder I said that your Pei Xiucai looks nothing like his father."

Su Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "I used to think so too. Who would have thought..."

"Yes, he's actually a child from the Duke's Mansion..."

After the two finished talking about this topic, they changed the topic and talked about the chicken that Su Li asked her to raise before going to Beijing.

The chicken died of old age a year after Su Li came to Beijing. Su Xiaocui asked Lin Dong to take it to their peach orchard and bury it.

Su Li didn't expect that it would live so much longer than the chicken, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Around noon, when Su Li returned home from Su Xiaocui's place, Ji Tinglan had not come back yet. After lunch, thinking that she had nothing to do, she simply went back to Sujia Village.

When he returned to Sujia Village, Su Zheng's family was not at home. Su Li was not surprised. He thought that his parents were busy dealing with family matters.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Su coming from the corner with a red cloth package.

Su Li went up to her and asked, "Mom, where have you been?"

Xiao Wu and Xiao Ye, who followed behind, saluted as usual.
