"The father and son under the mast of that big ship seem to be the Su family father and son."
The Lu family merchant ship had sailed a long way away at this time. Standing on the deck, Tai Zhuo could only see the backs of Su Xingyi and Su Ningan, father and son.
"Did you see his face clearly?"
Lu Yuan said, "From the side, I saw his face. He looks very much like the master of the Su family. However, the child beside him seems a little different. He's a little fatter. However, when the two boats passed by just now, I smelled a faint scent of Xihanxiang."
Tai Zhuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but did not smell any familiar fragrance.
Then he counted on his fingers and said, "After we reach the shore, turn around and follow."
"Hahaha..." Yuan Hou said with a smile, "It seems that after searching for a long time, I finally found it without any effort."
However, it’s too early to be happy.
After half an incense stick of time, we arrived at the shore and learned that the next ferry would not depart for another hour!
"Master, what should we do? Should we chase them in a black-sailed boat?"
Tai Zhuo stared at the lake in silence for a moment. "That large ship doesn't look like a passenger ship, but a private merchant ship. The Su family may not really have the surname Su. The logo of that merchant ship is an elk. Let's ask the boatmen. They should have the answers we want."
Money makes the world go round. Lu Yuan paid out some silver and soon got back the information, "Master, this is a merchant ship from the Lu family, a wealthy merchant in Huayang County."
It turned out to be the Lu family!
"Then take the next ship to Huayang County..."
Before he could finish his words, Tai Zhuo suddenly flew into a rage and grabbed Lu Yuan and was about to beat him up.
Lu Yuan: Oh, I don’t want to live anymore! Can someone else beat me up?
"What are you still standing there for? Save him! Give him an acupuncture!"
Xiao Xier had no idea what happened at the Xishui County wharf.
After boarding the Lu family merchant ship, she lay in Xiao Lingyu's arms and slept in the exquisite large cabin.
The aroma of barbecue forced the mother and daughter to open their eyes at the same time.
"Finally, I've woken you up. Come and try some! We have grilled fish, lamb skewers, pork skewers, and beef skewers. There's definitely one you'll like." Su Ning'an handed a tray of skewers to the two of them. "I grilled these, and they're better than Daddy's. Come and try some."
The mother and daughter couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, picked up the skewers and started eating them.
"Mother, my brother roasts it so deliciously."
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Xiao Xier didn't know whether it was because of her good appetite or because the skewers were so delicious, she ate one skewer after another and ate five skewers of each.
Su Ning'an, who was standing in front of the bed, couldn't help swallowing when he saw the two of them quickly eat twenty skewers.
Why do my sister and mother suddenly eat so much?
He reached out to grab a bunch to eat, but then pulled his hand back.
He has eaten so much outside and can’t eat anymore!
Once he opened his mouth to eat, he couldn't stop.
Xiao Lingyu looked up and saw Su Ning'an swallowing secretly, his eyebrows curved unconsciously, "Brother An, mother is done eating."
"Big brother, I'm done eating too. I can't eat the rest, so you can eat it all."
Xiao Xier took a skewer and ate off a piece of meat in one bite. "It's delicious! Big brother, eat it quickly."
Su Ningan couldn't resist his greed and took it in one bite.
Xiao Xier quickly picked up two more skewers of meat. If she hadn't moved slowly, her elder brother would have finished eating them.
After Su Ning'an finished eating the skewers on the tray, he looked up and found Xiao Xier holding two skewers and eating slowly. He drooled and stared at Xiao Xier.
Xiao Xier raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Eat slowly, it tastes better."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this.
"Xiao Yu, come and eat skewers."
Su Xingyi entered the room holding two handfuls of meat skewers, estimated to be two hundred skewers!
Following behind him was Su Ningwen, holding two small handfuls of meat skewers, estimated to be fifty in total.
Su Xingyi casually stuffed a handful of meat skewers into Su Ning'an's hands, "Take them and eat them. There are more meat skewers grilling outside. Eat as much as you want, all you can eat!"
Then he handed a bunch of lean meat to Xiao Lingyu's mouth, "There is no fat, it's all lean meat. I used my private secret dipping sauce, it's very fragrant. You can eat it boldly, you won't gain weight."
"Yeah, mom, it's really delicious!" Xiao Xier suddenly came over and took a bite.
"Okay, okay, let's eat together."
"Mom." Su Ning'an finished eating a handful of skewers in his hand, touched his bulging belly and said, "Can you make other unique dishes?"
Xiao Lingyu picked up the bamboo stick and looked at Su Ningan's small mouth. "It can only be said that it is a new way of eating it. But one bite is not enough to fill the gaps between your teeth."
"What's that new way of eating?"
“Shabu-shabu!”
＊
"Daddy, Mommy, we're here to pick you up."
Xiao Lingyu saw Qi Lianli standing beside Su Ningjie, as well as the twelve imperial guards sent by the emperor to protect her. She turned her head to look at Su Xingyi beside her and saw the same doubt in his eyes.
How did they know they were coming to Huayang County today?
"Greetings to the princess, and to Master Su."
"Master Qi, there's no need to be so polite. How did you know we'd arrive in Huayang County at this time today?"
"Mother, Lord Qi said that you have received the imperial edict and will come to Huayang County within three days. I have been coming to the dock every afternoon to check on you. Now it's time for dinner. Come with me back to Lu Mansion for dinner, and then go to the Princess' Mansion after breakfast tomorrow, okay?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Master Qi, our family will stay at the Lu Mansion tonight and go to the Princess' Mansion tomorrow morning."
"Princess." Qi Lianli turned around and called out, "Bring it up quickly."
Five yamen runners came forward carrying five large boxes.
Qi Lianli: "These are the properties that were confiscated from the Cui Mansion. Tomorrow, when the princess returns to the princess's mansion, all the properties will be brought back to the princess's mansion. The princess can use the list to store all the properties."
"good!"
After Xiao Lingyu responded, Su Xingyi and Su Ningan hurried forward to take the five large boxes and got on the carriage first.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the guards and said, "You guys go back to the Princess's Mansion tonight. You don't need to follow me."
"My Lord, I am Lei Xiao. Now that you have regained your status as a Lord, you must not make any mistakes. Please allow us to accompany you."
Xiao Lingyu looked at Mo Shu and the other servants behind him and said, "Lei Xiao, arrange for six people to accompany us to Lu Mansion. The rest of you will escort Mo Shu and the others to the Princess' Mansion to tidy up a bit first."
"yes!"
Lu Yuan received the news from Wei Ying half an incense stick in advance, and was now waiting at the gate of the mansion with his entire family.
"The princess is about to fall down, so you must not lose your manners." Simeng warned the servants behind her.
Lu Shiyuan and his wife from the third house have felt like they are living in a dream and it doesn't seem real these past two days since they learned of Xiao Lingyu's true identity.
Their merchant family actually had a connection with a noble family, and she was even a princess who protected the country.
Make them shocked and scared.
Especially Lu Shiyuan, his grandson is actually the adopted son of the Princess Huguo!
If the Princess Protector of the Country had not intervened in the matter of the second son smuggling iron ore, the entire Lu family would have been implicated.
Under everyone's expectation, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Lu Mansion.
