Xiao Yuan stared at a house not far from the inn and said softly, "Judging by the time, they should arrive today..."
"Who is Master referring to?" Ming Shu asked, puzzled.
But suddenly he frowned and looked at his master.
Could it be that after meeting the beautiful Lady Su in Suzhou, the master has taken a liking to her?
That's why he made a special trip to Yangzhou after hearing from the Lin family about the Su family's journey south.
At this moment, Xiao Yuan returned to his own territory, having already removed the veil covering his face, revealing a handsome face that was neither male nor female.
He had changed into casual clothes and wore a black turban. At first glance, he looked like a refined scholar, but the light in his narrow phoenix eyes revealed a hint of domineering power.
Ming Shu muttered in bewilderment, "No matter how beautiful Lady Su is, she is still Xiao Shiyan's woman, and she even bore him a daughter..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xiao Yuan slowly turn his head, a cold light flashing in his beautiful phoenix eyes.
Ming Shu immediately realized his mistake and hurriedly said, "Then, then I will immediately arrange for someone to wait at the Su family's residence. Once Madam Su and the others arrive in Yangzhou, I will report back immediately!"
He hurriedly retreated.
My master will be the future ruler of the world; which woman can't he have his way with?
Ming Shu couldn't help but scratch his head and sigh.
I wonder if Princess Fang of Luoyang would come after me and cause trouble if she found out about this.
After disembarking from the passenger ship, the Su family went straight to the street where Su Shirong lived and stayed at the Yunlai Inn across the street.
Xiao Yuan looked out the window at the woman getting out of the sedan chair downstairs, and his heart finally settled down.
Su Xuerong still wore a white veil on her face, a pale yellow silk robe, and a white swirling skirt, which faintly revealed her snow-white skin underneath.
Although her face was hidden under a veil, her graceful figure had already attracted the attention of many people around her.
The three guards that Su Jiaxin had hired stood close to her, which made many people wary.
Xiao Yuan watched Su Xuerong's figure walk into the inn's lobby with unwavering eyes, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After entering the inn's lobby, Su Xuerong suddenly felt a gaze coming from above and looked up.
The windows of the upstairs rooms were all open, but no one knew where that gaze had come from.
"Unfortunately, sirs, all the best rooms were booked this morning. If you don't mind, please stay in a lower-class room..."
"Father, why don't we go to another inn..." Su Xuerong said softly.
She herself didn't mind sleeping in a shared room, but she still had to breastfeed Yuanjie from time to time, and it was always inconvenient to have too many people in the room.
In addition, with the weather getting hotter, she didn't want her daughter to be crammed into a room where a group of people were sleeping.
“Alright, let’s go check out the inn up ahead…” Su Jingxuan said.
Just then, a figure rushed over: "Wife, what a coincidence!"
Xiuchun immediately stepped forward, blocking Mingshu's path, and said sternly, "How can you be so rude?"
Ming Shu hurriedly said to Su Xue Rong, "My lady, do you still remember me? The one who paid for your sister's horse!"
Su Xuerong then remembered him and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Ming Shu waved his hand and said, "Don't ask that yet. We just booked a few superior rooms. If you don't mind, we'll give you two rooms when we see you come in, madam!"
Sensing a gaze coming from above, Su Xuerong immediately looked up towards the second floor.
The first thing that catches the eye is a headdress with hair tied up, a clear moon and gentle breeze, as beautiful as jade and bamboo.
The landscape painting of towering mountains and flowing water behind that person, created by a master, instantly lost its luster.
Everyone looked up at the handsome man on the second floor, their eyes filled with amazement.
But in his eyes, there was only that snow-white figure.
Suddenly, a breeze blew through the room, gently lifting the snow-white veil. The twilight poured down, casting a faint golden glow on her jade-like face, which was as black as clouds and as shimmering as autumn water.
But in an instant, the white veil fell again, obscuring the view. Those misty eyes, like the bright moon veiled by clouds, were indistinct yet captivating.
Su Xuerong saw an unsettling heat in the man's gaze upstairs and immediately declined, saying, "Thank you, we will find another place to stay."
After saying that, he walked towards the gate.
Su Jingxuan immediately waved his hand, signaling several servants to follow.
Akiki was left with an awkward smile.
Ming Shu's cheeks twitched a few times before he turned to look at his master upstairs.
But they found that the person had already disappeared.
Su Jingxuan frowned and said, "Arong, I have a feeling that the person just now had bad intentions. Why don't we go to your brother's house instead? We can all squeeze in."
Su Xuerong originally thought that now that there were five more people, she didn't want to disturb her elder brother and sister-in-law's family, but just now she noticed the gaze of the person on the second floor looking at her, and she felt a little uneasy: "I will follow Father's arrangements."
Ming Shu returned to the main room a quarter of an hour later: "Master, the Su family has moved to a small house in the alley ahead."
The man by the window remained silent.
Ming Shu followed his gaze to the alleyway ahead and realized, "That's the one."
"Send men to guard the area tonight," Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice.
Akira pouted.
Previously in Suzhou, he had a direct conflict with Xu Songnian over the beautiful Lady Su. Just now, he even offered to give up the superior room, but she didn't appreciate it.
Does this young lady think she can look down on everyone just because she served Xiao Shiyan for two years?
Don't they even know their own place?
"Um?"
"Yes! I'll send someone over right away!" Ming Shu felt the man's sharp gaze and reluctantly went out to give the order.
