"Yulan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become more beautiful."
Xiao Lingyu carefully examined Xu Yulan's face for a few times. There was always a smile in the corner of his eyes. He thought that he had been having a good time these days. "Tell me quickly, is there something good coming up for you?"
"No." Xu Yulan smiled. "I go to Yulanxuan every day to take charge. How can I have time to think about other things? I brought Master Xiaojiu and Master Yunxiao to the Princess Mansion to look for you. I am just happy."
"How did they find you?"
Xu Yulan took a sip of hot tea and said, "They went to Luoxia Cottage but couldn't find anyone, so they went to the Lu Family Villa to inquire. I just happened to run into them when I passed by..."
"Ha...that's right!" At this time, Su Xingyi brought Shangguan Yunxiao and others into the front hall. "We just happened to meet you, so we troubled Miss Xu to accompany us to look for you."
"Greetings, Princess. I pay my respects to the Princess's aunt." Shangguan Jinnian stepped forward quickly and gave Xiao Lingyu a standard greeting.
Shangguan Yunxiao saluted Xiao Lingyu almost in unison, "Greetings, Princess."
"Stop being so polite." Xiao Lingyu quickly helped the two of them up.
These two people are much more noble than her.
"Xiaojiu, you two uncles should sit down quickly and have some hot tea and snacks."
Su Xingyi pulled Xiaojiu to sit beside him like an old father, and picked up the snacks on the small square table and stuffed them into his mouth.
Seeing this, the four brothers and sisters felt inexplicably sad, as if they had fallen out of favor.
Xiao Xier was the first to walk over, "Daddy, we also want you to feed us snacks."
"Yes, we want it too!"
The three brothers rushed forward.
"Hehe..." The jealous look on the children's faces was quite cute. "We have everything, Daddy will feed you."
Shangguan Yunxiao sat down on the armchair opposite, picked up the teacup and sipped the hot tea, his eyes unconsciously scanning back and forth between Shangguan Jinnian and Su Xingyi's faces.
Thinking of the portrait he saw in his royal grandfather's study, he couldn't help but look at Su Xingyi a few more times.
"Princess." Xu Yulan leaned over to Xiao Lingyu's ear and whispered, "Master Su loves children so much. When will you and your wife give them a brother or sister?"
"Ah, this depends on fate, there's no rush." Xiao Lingyu's face flushed unnaturally. "Now that I've resumed my status as a princess, I have to manage all the affairs of Huayang County. The paperwork in my study has piled up like a mountain, and I'm busy with the children, so I don't have time to deal with it. It's just that you're here. Can you help me take care of the children? I'll make time to deal with it as soon as possible."
"Okay, leave the kids to me."
At this time, Mo Shu came to report, "Princess, Jianjia Garden and Jade Hall have been cleaned up."
"Yu Lan, Xiao Jiu, Master Yun Xiao, you've all been exhausted from the journey. Go and rest for a while. We'll get together for dinner."
"Gurgle, gurgle..." Su Ning'an's stomach suddenly growled.
"Ang'er, didn't you just have lunch? Why are you hungry so soon?"
"Let your mother take a look at you. Is there something wrong with your body? How could you get hungry so quickly?" Xiao Lingyu pulled Su Ning'an's wrist over and was about to take his pulse.
Xu Yulan said bluntly, "Brother An didn't eat much for lunch in order to prevent Mr. Song from seeing how much he ate."
Xiao Lingyu was startled and said hurriedly, "Brother An, there's still food in the kitchen. Go and fill your stomach."
Then he asked Mo Shu to take Xu Yulan and others to rest, leaving Su Ningjie alone.
"Brother Jie, please tell us who Mr. Song San is and where he is from."
"Xiao Yu, he's an insignificant person. No matter where he comes from, An Ge'er really needs to hide his incompetence outside."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Su Xingyi and asked, "Have you met this Third Master Song?"
"I've never seen him before!" Su Xingyi denied.
"Brother Jie, go ahead."
"The Hundred Beasts Painting was taken to the capital to be sold a few days ago. This Third Master Song came from the capital to find Ning Anjun because of his admiration for it."
Mr. Song San from the capital?
"I suppose he can paint, too, right?"
"right!"
"I don't think your eldest brother would go to see a painter whose painting skills are inferior to his own. What is the name of this Third Master Song? Is there any nickname?"
Su Ningjie felt that if he didn't tell her, his mother would send someone to investigate and would soon find out the identity of Mr. Song Sanye.
"He is the lay Buddhist Linyuan."
No wonder he wanted to hide his incompetence, it turns out his biological father came to find him.
"Mother knows, you go and rest."
"Xingyi, send someone to check where Song Linyuan is staying."
"Why investigate him?" Su Xingyi frowned, very reluctant. "Ange won't recognize him. He'd better get out of the capital as soon as possible!"
"Ang'er went out in disguise and hid his abilities, which is enough to prove that he wouldn't recognize him. Since he's come to Huayang County, as the Protector of the Nation, I have to ask a few questions for the sake of the war between the two countries... Pay attention to the movements over at Wutong Garden. If Baili Qingluan knows Song Linyuan has come to Huayang County, she will definitely take action. Keep an eye on her and make sure no one gets killed!"
Fortunately, he showed mercy that night, otherwise Song Linyuan would not have recovered so quickly.
"Don't worry, he's tough and won't die. Let's go get some rest. We'll find out about Song Linyuan's whereabouts tonight."
As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Su Xingyi couldn't wait to push Xiao Lingyu onto the bed.
"Hey, be quiet! It's daytime now, and there are so many guests at home."
Su Xingyi chuckled softly in his ear, "...Then let's wait until tonight."
Jade Hall
Shangguan Yunxiao coaxed Shangguan Jinnian to sleep and called Yan Xiaosi to the next room.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Go and find out more about Su Xingyi. I want all his information within two days! Also, find out why the Princess of the Protectorate wanted to marry Su Xingyi. If I remember correctly, she was going to marry the eldest prince of Beiyi as his consort."
Yan Xiaosi was surprised, "You doubt Mr. Su's identity."
"That's right. The Beiyi royal family spent so much effort to train the Protector of the Country Princess that she could marry into the royal family and become a royal daughter-in-law. She couldn't marry a commoner for any reason, unless the Beiyi emperor was completely out of his mind."
"Okay, I'll check right away. Wait for my good news."
Shangguan Yunxiao returned to the room and reached out to gently stroke Xiaojiu's eyebrows.
The Ninth Prince is so close to Su Xingyi, maybe it’s not just because he is his savior, but it’s just a matter of fate.

"Go find a yard outside the city. Since Song Linyuan doesn't want to leave Huayang County, then don't go back!"
Zhang Qian's report made Baili Qingluan very angry. He even dared to splash tea on his son.
"Princess, you can't do that. Your innocence hasn't been cleared yet, and Song Linyuan has suddenly disappeared. The Song family and the people sent by the court to hunt you down will soon come to Huayang County."
Upon hearing this, Baili Qingluan suppressed her anger. There was no news from the capital yet, and she absolutely could not drag down the Princess's Mansion.
"Well, keep an eye on him first. Once there's good news from the capital, immediately kidnap Song Linyuan for me!"
"yes!"
Only after Zhang Qian walked away did Su Ning'an come out from the darkness.
Song Linyuan really broke his mother's heart.
Still want to acknowledge him as your son?
dream!
