"I'm glad you don't mind, sister-in-law."
"What are you saying? I'm too happy to even like it." Mu Run took the pillowcase and went into the carriage.
When he came out again, he was carrying two oil paper packages, which were tied tightly with thin rope.
"This is roast duck made by my family, along with some snowflake and jujube paste pastries. Take them back and try them."
"I can't accept this." Xiaolian's eyes lit up when she heard it was delicious.
Shi Xuan said, "We've arrived at Aunt Wang's embroidery shop."
Mu Run then gave Xiao Lian the boiled peanuts she hadn't finished eating, saying, "Take these with you too."
"Then I won't be polite, thank you sister-in-law." Xiaolian happily got off the carriage, her hands bulging with things.
Mu Run waved to her, "Be careful on your way home."
"Okay, sister-in-law," Xiaolian replied, her hands too busy to move, but a big, bright smile spread across her face.
Shi Xuan looked at her. "You like Xiao Lian?"
"Hmm." Mu Run nodded. "He has a good personality and is quite clever."
"or……"
"What?"
"Let's not go back to the palace tonight," Shi Xuan said to Mu Run.
"Where to?"
"I have my own house, it's just a bit small."
"Sure." Mu Run didn't care where she stayed.
When we arrived at the place, it was a small house with two courtyards.
The door was quite large; once opened, the carriage could go straight in.
Mu Run looked around the clean and tidy courtyard, and saw several hawthorn trees laden with fruit.
Shi Xuan led Mu Run into the main house.
This place is completely different from the small courtyard in the Prince's mansion. Although the rooms are not large, everything from the furniture to the painted ceiling decorations is exquisite and refined. Even the bedding and curtains are made of silk brocade and satin, with superb embroidery.
"You stay in this room, I'll stay in the west wing," Shi Xuan said to Mu Run.
Mu Run looked at him, then at the room's furnishings. "Golden nanmu, sandalwood, and bamboo furniture; master-level painted ceiling; jade screen; floor tiles made of bluish-white jade; and other decorations... It must cost at least ten thousand taels of silver."
"It's not much money," Shi Xuan replied. "I'll go unload the things from the carriage first."
Seeing that he was leaving in a hurry, Mu Run turned her eyes to look at his earlobe, where the chapped skin had returned.
It seems he needs a new mask.
Mu Run closed the door and called out, "I'm a little tired. See you tomorrow morning."
Shi Xuan's voice came from outside, "I know, you get some rest."
Mu Run took out a large bathtub filled with steaming hot water from her spatial storage, took off her clothes, and soaked in it...
Shi Xuan led the horse to the stable.
In the stable, there was already another horse, Wuyun Taxue, and a finely crafted and spacious carriage.
Seeing another horse arrive, threatening to take its territory, Wuyun Taxue was very displeased and snorted loudly.
Shi Xuan'an patted its head, "This is your wife, you should get along well with her."
Wuyun Taxue seemed to understand his words, and then looked at the intruder... well, it was a mare, just a bit ugly. He immediately snorted again, but wasn't as unhappy anymore, and even moved a little further in to make room for the mare.
After filling the manger with concentrated feed, Shi Xuan glanced at the main house again. It was pitch black, with no lights on, so the horse must have gone to sleep.
Shi Xuan returned to the west wing. Although it was also elegantly decorated, it was still inferior to the main house.
I lit a candle on the desk; there were several letters on it.
Shi Xuan sat down and began to process the letters.
