"You call yourself a weak woman? You can take on two assassins by yourself. Besides, I didn't say anything about Li Xiaochen, did I? I'm just a little incredulous."
Qiu Jingfan was speechless after being confronted by Lin Yuxin and weakly gave in.
Although he was still surprised by the way Li Xiaochen and his wife got along, he didn't dare to say anything more!
Lin Yuxin glared at him, then looked at Li Xiaochen with starry eyes and praised him:
"My husband is so amazing! This room is so clean. You've worked so hard, my husband! You're so good to me! I love you!"
A smile flashed in Li Xiaochen's eyes, but he cleaned even more diligently.
Cheng Tinghao glanced at his sister speechlessly. She really liked doing chores like this? That's so vulgar!! No, it's Li Xiaochen who's vulgar.
Thinking of this, Cheng Tinghao glared at Li Xiaochen, who was working, and thought he would seduce his sister.
Only Qiu Jingfan stood there, trembling with fear at Lin Yuxin's coquettish tone, unconsciously taking a step back, as if Lin Yuxin were some kind of venomous snake or ferocious beast.
"You...you, a princess consort, how can you speak so improperly?"
Qiu Jingfan's handsome face showed disgust. Although he was grateful to Lin Yuxin for saving his life, he really couldn't stand Lin Yuxin like this. The usually fierce Lin Yuxin was speaking in such a disgusting way that he felt like vomiting.
"I like it, what do you, a lonely bachelor, know? Besides, I call this marital fun, something to cultivate affection, you wouldn't understand."
Lin Yuxin also looked at Qiu Jingfan with disdain. Was this man really that useless? He couldn't even compare to one of their Li Xiaochen's fingers.
Qiu Jingfan was speechless. Was it his fault that he was single? He, the Second Prince, had several concubines in his residence, for goodness' sake!
After the two bickered for a while, Li Xiaochen had almost finished cleaning up.
Wang Yu also returned, and he reported with a serious expression:
"Your Highness, this inn is indeed deserted, and there are no signs of a struggle around. The innkeeper must have left on his own. I also checked the kitchen earlier, and there was nothing there. If we want to stay here, we'll have to go and buy some food."
Wang Yu recounted in detail what he had just observed.
“Take some food with you. We’ll be staying here for a few days. Now that we’re in Zhao, there’s no rush. The Zhao emperor has been on the throne for the past two months, and he’s probably done something big. Let’s investigate here first and then head to Bianjing slowly.”
Lin Yuxin glanced at Li Xiaochen and said.
"Do as Princess An says! Have a few guards clean the entire second floor of the inn, leave the lobby on the first floor untouched, and take the quilts out to air them."
Li Xiaochen instructed that there were no servants or maids to attend to Lin Yuxin here, so he would have to think of more ways to help.
"yes!"
Wang Yu accepted the order and left.
After Wang Yu went down to do his work, Li Xiaochen turned to look at Qiu Jingfan with a faint look in his eyes, but the meaning was clear: Why aren't you leaving yet?
Qiu Jingfan: ...!
I don't deserve to be here!
"Okay, I'll go find a room and tidy up too!!"
Qiu Jingfan made an excuse to leave; if he didn't leave soon, he felt like something was going to go wrong!
After Qiu Jingfan left, Li Xiaochen sat down next to Lin Yuxin and looked at Cheng Tinghao next to Lin Yuxin. He suddenly felt that this little guy was also an eyesore. It seems that when Lieyan arrives, he will leave this kid to her.
The province will not allow him to monopolize Xin Xin!
Even Lin Yuxin, who was standing to the side, noticed Li Xiaochen's resentment. She looked at Li Xiaochen and glared coldly at Cheng Tinghao, who glared back defiantly.
Lin Yuxin chuckled and reached out to squeeze Li Xiaochen's hand, signaling him not to go too far.
This made Li Xiaochen look at her with a wronged expression, but Lin Yuxin ignored Li Xiaochen's little thoughts. She turned to Cheng Tinghao and asked with concern:
"Xiao Hao, are you tired after walking all this way?"
"I'm not tired, sister, you've asked me three times already."
Cheng Tinghao shook his head and said calmly.
This child is becoming more and more aloof. Lin Yuxin's lips twitched. She didn't know how she had raised such a cute and well-behaved little bean into a domineering CEO.
Lin Yuxin condemned herself for a second, then put it out of her mind.
"Hehe! Really? I forgot! But Xiao Hao is really brave now!"
Lin Yuxin patted Cheng Tinghao's head and praised him, but was stunned by Cheng Tinghao's reply:
"Sister, I'm a big girl now."
"Hehe, really? But you'll always be a child in front of your older sister!!"
Lin Yuxin gave an awkward laugh and replied perfunctorily, "Is this kid going through puberty? Starting to rebel? Why is he starting to care about what other people say?"
He's only seven years old? Is he precocious?!
"Xiao Hao, are you hungry? Here, I have some apples here, have some first!"
Lin Yuxin quickly changed the subject, handing the apple on the table to Cheng Tinghao. She had taken it from her spatial dimension while chatting with Xiaohao earlier, using a bundle as a cover.
These apples were from her spatial storage. When she was looking for seeds in Jibei City, she picked out some of the leftover fruit from her spatial storage and planted them there.
This apple tree is one of them, and thanks to the nourishment of the fairy dew, the fruit grows vigorously and tastes very crisp and sweet.
Whenever she stayed in the space for too long and got hungry, she would eat a few apples to fill her stomach. She didn't just grow apples, but also other things. She planted them randomly on the mountain, but she never expected to harvest so much that she couldn't eat it all.
Cheng Tinghao was quite surprised to see the apple that Lin Yuxin took out. He had taken a few more glances at it when his sister took it out, but no one recognized it.
He was surprised when his sister told him that this was an apple. Apples don't exist in Xia Country, so how did his sister have one? And it looked so fresh!
However, Cheng Tinghao didn't think much of it. His sister had too many secrets, so one more wouldn't make a difference. He smiled at Lin Yuxin, said thank you, and then picked up the apple and started eating it.
The apple was indeed delicious, and Cheng Tinghao squinted his eyes in pleasure as he ate it.
Lin Yuxin handed another apple to Li Xiaochen. Everyone had been walking all day and was hungry. The environment was so simple that it would probably take a long time to get a proper meal. It would be good to have an apple to tide them over.
Li Xiaochen didn't stand on ceremony. These apples were really delicious. He would pick one and eat it whenever he had free time in his space.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but every time he ate these fruits, he felt warm and comfortable all over. However, he didn't ask Xin Xin about it.
She would tell him if she wanted to. Since she didn't hide the existence of the apple from him and let him eat it as much as he wanted, it was clear that she wasn't hiding anything from him.
After the three of them finished eating an apple each, they all wore lazy expressions, which startled Wang Yu as he walked in. What were the princes doing? They seemed to be on the verge of becoming immortals?
"Your Highness, everything is ready."
Wang Yu only dared to mutter to himself that ever since the prince married the princess, his behavior had become increasingly strange.
Wang Yu snapped out of his thoughts and replied in a low voice.
By the time they finally ate, it was almost evening. Lin Yuxin didn't say much, just told them to rest and that they would talk about everything tomorrow.
