Normally, no one dared to stop the flying boat of the imperial government.
It was faster than when he came here. In two days, Chen Shiyan returned to the provincial capital.
Cheng Qian, who had been waiting for a long time, passed by Chen Shiyan.
After the handover was completed, he no longer had any attachment and went straight back to the Huang family.
There is no other way. Now I have connections with the prince and can give him advice.
And the clone here is also Huang Yunling’s Taoist partner.
If the two of them interact or become familiar with each other, it will inevitably arouse the prince's suspicion, so it is better to be cautious.
So as not to ruin the good deeds of the mother and daughter, ruin Cheng Qian's future plans, and ruin the lawlessness of the clone in the future.
When Chen Shiyan returned to the Huang family, some of the servants or members of the Huang family were surprised.
They all looked like they were enjoying a good show.
"Hey, that son-in-law is back."
"Did you rush back because you found out about the young lady's situation?"
"I just don't know if this guy will cause a big scene."
“Hehehe, you have to look at who it is. That’s a figure from heaven, even our clan leader…hehe.”
The few people who gathered together all had that kind of smile on their faces.
Chen Shiyan came to Huang Yunling's small courtyard and happened to meet two people who were drinking tea.
"Are they all here?"
"Why are you back?"
"Why are you coming to the capital city instead of staying in Qianyuan County?"
Huang Yunling and Fan Chixiu spoke almost at the same time.
If you listen carefully to their conversation, you can still hear some clues.
Huang Yunling was surprised or astonished as to why Chen Shiyan came back.
Fan Chixiu focused his attention on Qianyuan County.
Chen Shiyan didn't think much about these things, otherwise he would have discovered that a person like Fan Chixiu could actually remember the place where he took office and seemed to care about it a little.
"I came back to ask for help from Master Taishui."
"Hmph, tell me, what trouble did you get into?"
"No hurry, no hurry, tell me about your business first, how is the progress."
When Chen Shiyan asked this question, Fan Chixiu blushed.
Originally, the Ninth Prince's daughter was going to try to conquer him.
As a result, she encountered the layout of the battle for the throne, and her ambition was rekindled, but she had no way to explain it to her daughter.
She accompanied her daughter to one occasion after another.
Gradually, I lost myself under the flattery of those male practitioners.
In the end, her goal was achieved and she attracted the attention of the Ninth Prince, but not herself, but her and her daughter.
This is very embarrassing.
Huang Yunling didn't know what was going on, but she suddenly had a transcendent temperament, as if she was out of touch with this world.
It's completely different from the previous energy.
If she hadn't relied on her noble family background, the temperament she had cultivated since childhood, and the outfit carefully designed for her by Chen Shiyan, she would have been equally beautiful as Huang Yunling and caught the prince's eye, and she would have almost lost.
Chen Shiyan is a man of great talent.
"You know?"
"You said that, and the whole city is talking about it. What does Master Taishan say?"
Chen Shiyan now really wants to know the reaction of Huang Shangshan, the smiling tiger.
"Hmph, he got all the benefits, it's nothing more than a bad reputation, he may not be happy, and besides, nothing has happened yet."
"Master Taishui has a very profound view of things."
"My mother and I were just discussing whether we should attend the banquet since the Ninth Prince sent us an invitation again a few days ago."
"Go ahead, why not?"
"But, shouldn't we wait a little longer now?"
Fan Chixiu was a little hesitant. She was now enjoying the feeling of being sought after.
Chen Shiyan thought to himself, it’s a good thing he came back.
"Too much is as bad as too little."
"This royal child has his own pride. You are now slightly ahead in the tug of war. It would be wise to quit while you are ahead."
Chen Shiyan, leaning on the table, looked down at the two people's almost identical faces.
This is the Ninth Prince’s calamity.
"Don't let those chasing eyes confuse your eyes and make you forget your purpose."
"After all, it is you who have something to ask of the Ninth Prince, not the Ninth Prince who has something to ask of you."
"Yes, you brought a different feeling to him. If you keep being reserved and high-handed, he will feel very different."
"The Ninth Prince could have just found someone like Li Chixiu or Gao Yunling, wouldn't the effect be the same?"
"You must go to this banquet, and you must soften your attitude."
"Then when the prince invites you to his house for a chat, this matter will be settled."
Huang Yunling's expression remained calm as she nodded.
Chen Shiyan also noticed that this girl seemed a little mentally unstable.
How could he know that the Eight Sufferings he had talked about before were some gentle Buddhist things that Huang Yunling had to combine with her own experience.
I really figured out something.
Who is born a bad person? The little girl was arranged by her mother to find the former courtesan of Wanhua Pavilion as her master since she was young.
I am a bit introverted, but I have to show my fickleness.
He wanted to be faithful to his partner, but because of his practice, he had to perform spiritual energy sex on his partner.
He had a kind heart, but he had to watch his fellow Taoists being killed in front of him.
The whole process, plus Chen Shiyan’s words.
She felt that she was experiencing the eight sufferings of the world.
He no longer cared about the Ninth Prince, his mother, the royal family, the body, or his cultivation.
She now wants to know how to get through the suffering and reach the other side.
Fan Chixiu also nodded.
Indeed, we can't tie it up any longer, otherwise it will be a waste of time.
Seeing that both of them nodded, Chen Shiyan finally felt relieved.
That night, in the main house.
Just as Fan Chixiu walked to the door, Huang Shangshan's voice came from the main hall.
"Madam, is that kid Chen Shiyan back?"
"Well, they said they got into trouble in the county."
"Oh, I thought Yunling's matter reached his ears."
Huang Sangshan stared at Fan Chixiu.
"Chen Shiyan's status is far different from that of the Ninth Prince. Let's not talk about whether it didn't happen, but even if it did happen, what would it matter?"
Of course Fan Chixiu knew what Huang Shangshan meant.
I'm not talking about Huang Yunling, I'm talking about her.
"Chen Shiyan is the county magistrate after all, so he still has to save face. Madam, won't it be embarrassing? How will his colleagues and family members see you?"
"What is important? What Chen Shiyan should do most is to take this opportunity to improve himself. Hundreds of years later, those who judged him in this way or that way will eventually be nothing but dead bones in a grave."
Fan Chixiu thought about it and decided to tell her some news. Otherwise, what if Huang Shangshan caused trouble and ruined her plan?
"The battle for the throne is about to begin. This time it's the nine princes vying for the throne. The ninth prince was the Saint Emperor's favorite son!"
After a moment of silence, Huang Shangshan spoke softly.
"I understand. Tell Yunling to take care of herself and be on her own. I think Chen Shiyan should be able to see clearly his own identity."
"You should also take care of yourself, my eighteenth concubine. Don't ruin your body."
This can be considered as Fan Chixiu's dissatisfaction with Huang Shangshan.
The night is long.
It was a long time after Fan Chixiu left that Huang Shangshan sighed and talked to himself.
"Alas, this turtle.....just hopes that you and the Fan family can gamble, right?"
He felt that the Fan family had placed their bets on the Ninth Prince.
"It's another bloody storm. Others try to avoid it. I don't know what you are thinking. A legitimate daughter with no talent insists on getting involved and becoming the mistress of my Huang family. As expected, you are still unsatisfied as a noble lady from an aristocratic family."
