It will be bright soon.

Song Jin looked at Qing Wu who kept muttering to herself, and then looked at the clothes she had placed next to her ready to take away, feeling a little helpless.

Qing Wu finished packing and wiped the sweat off his face. "My dear, we are almost done packing. When are we leaving?"

"Are you sure you want to take so much stuff with you?"

Qing Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with carrying two bags, so he nodded confidently, "Sure."

I don't know when I will be able to come back from Sheng'an. My wife is used to the things in the mansion, and she will definitely not be used to them when she suddenly changes to something else. She needs to prepare more.

Song Jin stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Let's go."

As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I heard a soft meow.

She looked down and saw that it was Little Yu Nu, so she bent down, picked it up, and tapped its nose: "Why, you're not hiding from me today?"

Ever since she fed Yu Nu too much fruit and caused her to fall ill, it was her fault, and it was her responsibility to feed her medicine. However, this guy didn't cooperate with her and always liked to embarrass her in front of Cui Huaiji.

Let’s take the last time Cui Huai sent it back as an example.

She was led by the nose by Yu Nu, making herself look like a street prostitute. She faced Cui Huaiji with a messy bun on her head, which was really embarrassing.

"Miss Song, what is this...?"

There was a look of confusion on his face, but the smile in his eyes was almost revealing. He really thought that she couldn't see it!

[It’s rare to see the little fox slave in this state. He looks a bit cute in his wolfish look.]

Song Jinjian was so embarrassed that he glared at Qing Wu, who looked innocent. He pulled his messy hair twice, trying to save his image.

"My Lord, please listen to my explanation..."

[My image! I am so embarrassed. Who knows what the Marquis is laughing at me in his heart. Wuwuwu.]

"Meow~"

The jade slave came over with a clattering sound, and rubbed his calves vigorously with its soft body, as if telling him that it missed him very much.

When Song Jin saw its flattering look, he became so angry that his teeth itched.

Cui Huaiji didn't mind the dust on it and reached out to pick it up in his arms. "Ms. Song has never raised a fox slave before. The fox slave is young and needs a lot of attention in its feeding. It's my fault that I didn't tell you in advance."

Does this mean you don't blame her?

She was overjoyed, handed him the ladder and came down: "It's also my fault for being careless. The doctor said that Yu Nu is weak now and must drink this medicine, but Yu Nu doesn't want to..."

[Very good, you don't want to drink, right? I'll let Lord Hou feed you personally, and I'll see if you drink it or not! ]

She gnashed her teeth in her heart. Cui Huaiji glanced at Yu Nu, who felt a little guilty, and smiled at her with his eyelids raised: "Well, you have to drink the medicine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jin immediately brought the medicine bowl and stared at Yu Nu with shining eyes.

Yu Nu refused in a low voice, but he wanted to follow her wishes. He pinched her tiger's mouth when she was not prepared, and pushed the medicine into her mouth half forcefully and half gently.

It drank it reluctantly, and when the bowl was finished, it cried out in great pain, sticking out its tongue.

Cui Huaiji frowned, thought it was a bit noisy, and threw it directly to Qingwu.

[Little fox slave, you must be happy now. I have helped you get revenge.]

Song Jin raised his chin proudly, not giving Yu Nu any face at all, and laughed at its wrinkled cat face.

Cui Huaiji seemed to see her tail swinging behind her.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on her messy hair.

My hands are a little itchy.

He suppressed his smile and said, "It's just that I have a lot of things to do, so I'll have to trouble Miss Song to feed you the medicine. If Yu Nu still doesn't want to drink it, just come back and tell me."

This is a naked threat.

Yu Nu shouted unyieldingly, as if accusing him.

That's why it ended up running away from Song Jin in order to avoid drinking the medicine, and naturally both sides suffered losses in the end.

*

The memories ended. Song Jin would not argue too much with a fox slave. Anyway, he had already gone through it a few days ago.

He then carried Yu Nu towards the gate of Song Mansion.

This was Song Jin's first time going away from home, and as a father, Song Qin was worried about everything.

Although Cui Huaiji promised to protect her in Sheng'an, he was still worried that someone would bully her. In his previous life, Song Jin might have naively believed that there would be good people in Sheng'an. After experiencing life and death, Song Jin finally understood that no one in Sheng'an was absolutely innocent and kind.

"Father, why are you the same as Qing Wu? There is nothing in Sheng'an, so why do you need to bring so many bags?"

Qing Wu prepared two large bags for herself, and Song Qin prepared two large boxes of things for her, but no one knew what was inside them.

Anyway, there was no room for her carriage.

Cui Huaiji tilted his head to look at the servants who were loading boxes onto the carriage, and a plan came to his mind: "After all, you are going on a long journey, so I understand that Mr. Song is worried. Miss Song's carriage cannot accommodate you, so you can get on my carriage."

Song Tan nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Hou is right. I don't understand your personality yet. You have been spoiled by me since you were a child. How can you get used to a sudden change of place? Get ready."

After saying this, he asked the servants to bring in two more boxes.

Song Jin curled the corners of his mouth, seemingly not giving her any room to maneuver.

That carriage is definitely not suitable for riding.

"Ms. Song, please."

Song Jin smiled wryly and refused, then let him go up first.

[Ah! Sitting with the little fox slave! It turns out that the little fox slave is so delicate. It seems that the furnishings in the mansion need to be changed.]

She was speechless and choked.

Lord Hou, there is really no need for you to worry so much. I am so scared!

*

Song Tan watched her leave with tears in her eyes.

Before the carriage left Qingzhou, homesickness suddenly weighed on his heart. Song Jin leaned over and waved his hands at him, unable to hold back his tears.

"Dad, you have to take care of yourself!"

"Jinjin, you have to take good care of yourself. Dad will come to see you when he is free!"

After leaving Qingzhou completely, Song Jin couldn't hold back her tears. Considering that there was another person in the carriage, she was particularly concerned about her image in his eyes, so she turned her head away and wiped her tears quietly.

[Wuwuwu, Qingwu, you bad boy, you said you would sit in there with me! ]

【Woo woo, Dad, I'm already beginning to miss you. 】

[It's all Xu Nanheng's fault. If it weren't for them, why would I have traveled thousands of miles to Sheng'an just for a piece of paper to break an engagement!]

[My life is so miserable. I have to worry about my own life in this new life. The people in Sheng'an are not good people! ]

A bit noisy.

Cui Huaiji, a Sheng'an native who was scolded for no reason, rubbed his forehead helplessly and handed over a handkerchief.

"Wipe it off."

Now that she had been discovered, she simply cried, but her tears were very quiet, like the whimpering of a kitten.

Cui Huaiji's heart was softened by her crying, and his voice was softer than ever before: "When you go to Sheng'an, I will protect you and help you with your marriage."

[So, stop crying, okay?]

Song Jin glanced at him secretly, stretched out his fingers to hook the handkerchief towards him, and shook his head like garlic.

"Thank you, Lord."

[Huh? Lord Hou's reaction... is he afraid that I will cry? Or... is he afraid that the young lady will cry? ]

She seemed to have found something strange.

Cui Huaiji was impressed by her unique ideas.

What do you mean by afraid? He is clearly concerned about her!

[Forget it, I won’t bother with a little fox slave!]

Song Jin:?

Did she make him angry again?

*

Sheng'an, Imperial Palace, Chaowuzhong Palace.

The palace maids entered the hall one by one, carrying toiletries. The senior palace maid lowered her head, lifted the curtain, and waited for the Empress to stand up.

A slender wrist stretched out from the bed curtain.

"Yilan."

"Your Majesty." The maid Yilan quickly drew up the bed curtain and came out with the empress. "Your Majesty just sent Eunuch Chengyi to deliver a message saying that we don't have to wait for breakfast."

"knew."

The current Empress is the daughter of Cui, named Cui Yuhuai. She has one son and one daughter. The eldest son is the current Crown Prince, and the eldest daughter is the third princess born to Your Majesty. Her children are deeply loved by Your Majesty.

Her younger brother Cui Huaiji is also highly regarded by His Majesty, and her position in the harem is unshakable.

Cui Yuhuai was half asleep and let Yilan wash and dress her. When she woke up, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror and suddenly asked, "Has Fu Ji sent any letters recently?"

Fu Ji is Cui Huaiji's courtesy name.

Yilan answered her with a smile while combing her hair: "There is no letter, but Eunuch Chengyi sent a message to His Majesty, saying that the Marquis is on his way back and I heard that he brought a young lady back with him."

"Young lady?" Cui Yuhuai was stunned, with a look of surprise in her eyes, "Fu Ji actually has a young lady he likes? I'll have to ask him when he comes back."

After washing up, Yilan called for breakfast.

Cui Yuyao was having breakfast when a coquettish voice came from far outside the door.

"Mother, you have to make the decision for me!"

The third princess Xu Muqing ran into the palace with a wronged look on her face and threw herself into her arms.

"What's going on?"

Cui Yuying pulled her to look for a while, and seeing that she was not bullied, she asked again: "Who bullied you?"

Because the Third Princess is favored by His Majesty, she has always been lawless in the palace and has always been a headache for others. It is rare to see her being wronged.

But she is not the kind of person who would make a fuss.

"Brother Crown Prince!"

Xu Muqing was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and fiercely criticized his crime: "I am her biological sister, and he actually scolded me for an outsider!"

Cui Yuyao knew her personality and immediately asked her what had happened.

The incident happened yesterday afternoon. Xu Muqi wanted to ask the prince to go out of the palace to play earlier, but the prince refused on the grounds of being busy. So she took the palace maid out of the palace by herself and ran into Yang Chaoxue and the prince in a jade shop.

She had been used to being spoiled since she was a child. When she found out that her royal brother rejected her for another young lady, she was furious and rushed up to question the prince. The prince tried to coax her but failed. During the argument, she accidentally knocked over the broken jade on the table, and the broken stones scratched Yang Chaoxue's arm, causing a lot of bleeding.

The prince immediately became angry, scolded her for being rude, and sent people to forcibly send her back to the palace.

Originally, the prince could have just appeased her and the matter would have been over, but because of Yang Chaoxue, the prince became extremely sharp and blamed the mistake on her without any explanation.

She couldn't stand it anymore and started quarreling.

Xu Muqing sobbed and complained: "I'm not unreasonable. He was the one who lied to me first! And I didn't hurt Madam Yang on purpose. The Crown Prince didn't even give me a chance to apologize and sent someone to send me back."

The crying became louder and louder. The Third Princess burst into tears and said firmly, "Mother, I don't want Yang Chaoxue to be my sister-in-law!"

Cui Yuhuai quickly covered her mouth and signaled Yilan to dismiss the palace maids. "Are you so sure that Yang Chaoxue will be your sister-in-law?"

The third princess pulled her hand down and nodded fiercely: "I'm sure! The way the Crown Prince looks at her, he wants to stick to her all the time! Mother, I don't want her to be my sister-in-law! I don't want it!"

Cui Yuying pinched her little nose and said, "Didn't you think Yang Chaoxue was very nice a few days ago?"

The third princess said with a nasal voice: "It's not good now!"

He really has the mentality of a child.

Cui Yuying couldn't help laughing, and she pulled the person aside and coaxed him for a long time before she finally coaxed him back to her senses.

There was no mood to continue eating the breakfast, so Yilan sent everyone away.

Cui Yuying thought about the matter between the Crown Prince and Yang Chaoxue again and again, and called Yilan: "Send someone to find out what happened yesterday afternoon."

"yes."
