"Let our people wait at the East City Gate, and let the Su family follow us all the way into the city. I want to know about the Su Mansion."
"Yes, sir."
Tai Zhuo added, "Explore the Su Mansion tonight and look for that child. I don't believe Madam Su can create the scent without the child's blood."
"Sir, if tonight's trip yields no results, and Madam Su's perfume-mixing tomorrow doesn't reveal any clues, what should we do? His Highness has given us little time. We must return to report on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Tai Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "In winter, flowers and fruits are in short supply. No matter how talented Madam Su is, she can't make the fragrant dew. Without the fragrant dew in winter, it will be much easier to find the child."
"Sir, do you mean that we should rush back during the Mid-Autumn Festival to report our progress to His Highness and come back in the winter?"
"That's right. As long as the child is still alive, it's only a matter of time before we find her."
"Then should we send people to the southern part of Dongjun?"
Tai Zhuo thought that since Xianglu appeared in Beiyi, the child must be in Beiyi.
"That child is in Beiyi."
"Xiao Yu, I remember that bottle of fragrant sweat that I used to prepare Xihanxiang these days has run out."
Xiao Ling nodded, "But the bottle is still there. I'll use it to store the fragrance tomorrow. The scent will be a bit stronger than other Xihanxiang scents."
Su Xingyi sighed, "That's good. I'll convince him tomorrow. They spent 100,000 taels in one go. I guess they don't have enough money to go back to Nankun first. If the princess doesn't give up looking for him, she'll come back again."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyu took a piece of paper and a pen to write a letter, and called Si Mingming over.
"Madam Su, what do you want Mingming to do?"
"Tomorrow morning, take this letter back to Xishui County and give it to your master."
Si Mingming saw a barely perceptible hint of urgency on Xiao Lingyu's calm face.
"In two hours, there will be one last merchant ship heading south from the dock. I'll pack up now and rush to the dock."
Without waiting for Xiao Lingyu to speak, Si Mingming turned around and left.
"Master, Madam." Su Ying's voice came in, "The pheasant is roasted."
Su Xingyi supported Xiao Lingyu and came to the yard, where he saw Si Mingming wrapping half a chicken in oil paper, gnawing on the chicken leg, and leaving the farm with a bag on his shoulder.
The couple smiled at each other and sat down to enjoy the roast chicken...
Half an hour later, the couple returned to the county town in a low-key manner with a truck full of payment for the goods.
The Nankun spy who was waiting at the east city gate saw the Su family carriage enter the east city gate and followed quietly behind.
"Dad, Mom, you've been out for a long time. My sister and I thought you wouldn't come back."
"We've been delayed in the manor for some time." Su Xingyi took out two large chicken legs from the oil-paper package and said, "Hurry up and give each of you one chicken leg. These are pheasant legs and are very delicious. Come and try them."
"Daddy, Mommy, you eat first." The brother and sister swallowed secretly as they looked at the delicious chicken legs in front of them.
They cannot eat first until their elders have eaten.
Xiao Lingyu reached out and rubbed the two little guys' heads. "This is what your parents brought back specially for you. Eat it quickly. After you're done, go to the small kitchen with your mother to help."
The brother and sister immediately took the pheasant leg from Su Xingyi and started eating it with big mouthfuls.
"It's delicious. Did you bake this, Mom and Dad?"
"It was baked by the uncles in the village."
Su Xiaoming said hurriedly: "Although the uncles' baking is also delicious, they are still not as good as Daddy's cooking skills."
Su Xiaohuan glanced at Su Xiaoming, whose mouth was full of greasy food, and said, "Brother, your mouth is so greasy."
"Then I'll wipe it with a handkerchief and it won't be oily anymore."
"Ink writing."
"The servant is here."
Xiao Lingyu instructed, "After dinner tonight, the four of you should serve the young master early, and the young lady should go to bed. Don't make any noise tonight."
Mo Shu knew something big might happen tonight. "Okay, Madam, we will take good care of the young master and young lady."
After giving the instructions, Xiao Lingyu returned to the room and began to prepare for tomorrow's perfume making.
Xiao Lingyu opened the empty bottle that once contained the fragrance of sweat, and a strange aroma filled his nose.
“Xiao Yu, the fragrance of this sweat is still so strong even after it’s used up.”
Xiao Lingyu closed the bottle cap. "The bottle wall has been soaked in Xiao Xier's sweat for a long time, so it will naturally have a long-lasting fragrance. Even if Tai Zhuo has sharp eyes and a keen sense of smell, he won't be able to detect the clues."
Soon after dinner, it became dark.
The Lu brothers and sisters went to bed early with the help of Mo Shu and others.
Not long after the brother and sister rested, Su Yun and Su Ying brought the servants from their house to the courtyard of the Lu brother and sister to set up defenses.
Xiao Lingyu rested his head on Su Xingyi's arm, leaned his back against Su Xingyi's arms, looked at the half-open window, and could not fall asleep for a long time.
Suddenly, everything went dark before his eyes, and Su Xingyi's big hands gently covered Xiao Lingyu's eyes.
"Xiao Yu, it's time to go to sleep. Tai Zhuo and the others don't dare to hurt anyone. They are just here to investigate."
Xiao Lingyu pushed Su Xingyi's hand away and said, "I just don't want to sleep. I don't have any other thoughts."
How could you not have other thoughts?
I'll lie next to you.
Xiao Lingyu thought of something, "Today at the Zhuangzi, you suddenly said that I had never thought about having a third child. If it weren't for my good brain, today's performance would have been ruined. But you were silent and Tai Zhuo didn't notice anything unusual."
Su Xingyi said, "You want to try to make fragrant dew with umbilical cord blood. I said this to prove to Tai Zhuo that the Lu brothers and sisters are our children, which will make Tai Zhuo believe it without a doubt."
"Oh, I see. But next time, you should still tell me in advance. What if I don't react in time? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Su Xingyi whispered in his ear, "Yeah, I'll definitely let you know next time. If you have a girl in the future, will you use the umbilical cord blood to make perfume?"
Xiao Lingyu turned over and pounded his chest with her small hand. "How could that be? Only Xiao Xier's blood will do. I only said that to confuse Tai Zhuo."
"How many children do you plan to have in the future?"
Xiao Lingyu said casually: "It would be nice to have a son and a daughter."
Su Xingyi reached out and stroked Xiao Lingyu's face, "Xiaoyu, your child will definitely inherit your beauty."
Xiao Lingyu carefully examined Su Xingyi's face and said, "You have a nice face, and your daughter will be very beautiful."
Su Xingyi raised his upper body and looked at the beauty beside him with deep eyes, "When will I have my own daughter?"
Xiao Lingyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, "You will have it."
After Xiao Lingyu finished speaking, she hooked her arms around his neck and covered his lips.
As Su Xing expected, the two kissed smoothly...
Of course he knew he would have his own children, but not now.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard in the yard, and the two people who were kissing passionately in the room finally separated from each other.
"Xiao Yu, Tai Zhuo and the others are here. Lie down. I'll go check on them."
