Li Mai did not believe that the people in Jiang's incense shop in Yingzhou City would dare to sell bewitching incense behind his back.
However, in front of his cousins, Li Mai only hinted at it; what happened next was their own business.
At this moment, Zhou Quan returned.
“You must be tired from your journey. Let me take you to my brother’s place to settle in first. My place is full, which is a bit embarrassing. But you’ll have dinner here tonight,” Li Mai said, standing up.
The three people responded, stood up, and followed her out.
An Nanyang didn't forget to pick up his wife's little suitcase.
When they arrived, Yun Chang was sitting in the pavilion in the outer courtyard, drinking tea.
He said he was coming back to tidy up, but it was just a matter of giving an order. As for the specifics of adding things to the house, the guards would do it, and Xuanwu would make the arrangements.
After he stayed here, Xuanwen went back to the capital to arrange things, and Xuanwu stayed here with him to serve him.
Li Mai led them around the main street outside the gate; they also had a carriage.
Upon seeing them enter, Yun Chang stood up and led them towards the east courtyard.
"There are three main rooms and two side rooms. You can arrange your accommodations as you see fit. I eat at my sister's place. The kitchen here only provides hot water, but it's fine for washing up and making tea."
Yun Chang said, standing in the courtyard of the East Courtyard.
"Thank you, Young Master Yun!" Xu Changhuan bowed to Yun Chang.
Yun Chang nodded and stood in the courtyard with Zhou Quan, watching Li Mai lead them into the house.
Zhu Zhu, carrying Xiao Piao Liang, came over with Chu Yan and Zhong Hui.
"Daddy, where's the big white dog?" Zhuzhu walked over to Zhou Quan and asked hurriedly.
She quite liked the big white dog and wanted it to play with Xiao Liangpiao.
“In the cage in the yard,” Zhou Quan pointed to an iron cage in the corner.
Zhuzhu saw it and happily ran over with the little beauty in her arms.
The white wolf, seeing its owner arrive, was about to beg for help and let them know it was locked up, but its owner left without even glancing at it.
It was about to bark twice to indicate its location when it suddenly felt a suffocating sensation. The white wolf saw a small figure running in through the gate and immediately fell to the ground with a thud, trembling.
Zhuzhu squatted in front of the cage and moved Xiaopiao closer to it. "Baibai, you're bigger than Xiaopiao, so how about I call you Dabai?"
White Wolf: Grandma, you can call me whatever you want, just don't bring this ancestor near me, okay? I'm scared, this ancestor might eat me in one bite!
But Zhuzhu clearly had no idea what the white wolf was thinking. She just wanted to find a good friend for Little Pretty to play with. She even petted Little Pretty and said, "Little Pretty, look how cute Big White is. Shall we play with it here?"
The Qilin glanced lazily at the white wolf. "Have the wolf clan become so cowardly now? They only dare to lie on all fours when they see other beasts, and they can't even bow. What cowards!"
White Wolf: Grandma, I'm Little White, and it's Big Pretty. Please don't call me Big White, call it Little Pretty!
Zhou Quan glanced over there, then turned to Zhong Hui and said, "Come with me."
"Please look after Zhuzhu, brother. I'm taking Zhong Hui out for a bit," Zhou Quan said to Yun Chang.
Yun Chang nodded.
Just now, Li Mai whispered a few words to Zhou Quan, asking him to teach Zhong Hui and a few other beginner fire-type users some special abilities later.
Zhou Quan is now planning to take him to study.
Yun Chang agreed, assuming that Zhou Quan was taking Zhong Hui to do something else.
Zhou Quan left with Zhong Hui. Chu Yan glanced at him silently and then went to keep Zhu Zhu company.
Yun Chang stood alone in the courtyard of the East Courtyard, her hands behind her back, gazing up at the azure sky in a daze.
He never imagined he would suffer such a serious injury, let alone be lucky enough to meet Li Mai, who could heal him. They have now become the closest of siblings.
Life is truly full of surprises!
I just don't know what kind of unexpected event awaits me next.
"An Nanyang greets Your Highness!" After settling his wife and sister-in-law in, and while they were talking with Li Mai inside, An Nanyang came out and noticed that Yun Chang was all alone. He quickly came over, cupped his hands in greeting, and bowed softly.
Yun Chang nodded. "Are you currently an official in Yingzhou?"
“No, I’m the town magistrate of Xiabei Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou City,” An Nanyang said softly.
Yun Chang raised an eyebrow. "With your talent, you could be a town magistrate, or even a county magistrate, right?"
An Nanyang shook his head. "I don't have anyone above me. Besides, I married a daughter of the Xu family. I don't know how many years I can serve as the town's magistrate. It doesn't matter. As long as I can stay by my wife's side, that's enough."
Yun Chang glanced at him, smiled, and patted his shoulder. "Come on, let's sit outside and chat. Let's talk about your in-laws."
He had just heard Zhou Quan give a brief overview of the Xu family's situation, and he seemed quite interested in listening.
As far as he knew, the reason why the first-rank official who died in the court died was because he was discovered by the emperor to have secretly colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. However, because his daughter was the emperor's beloved concubine, the emperor knew that his beloved concubine was innocent. In order to protect the woman he loved, the emperor fabricated a crime to kill the first-rank official.
How did this involve the Xu family?
He needs to find out the real situation from An Nanyang first.
The current emperor is the same emperor as before. It's just that he had just ascended the throne and didn't know how his subordinates handled things. However, he felt that the emperor back then wouldn't have gone so far as to ruin an entire family for a single crime.
The current emperor, after all these years, is not a foolish ruler.
