Lin Yanxi's face, which had been unhappy, turned a little crimson, and she quickly shook her head and denied, "No......

After thinking about it, she and Shen Muzhou have a marriage contract, although it is only an alliance, and outsiders can't see the clues.

She changed her tone and said, "Sort of, but we only have a marriage contract, and we are not married yet."

Luo Wanwan laughed, pretending to be casual and continued to ask, "What about the other man who was with you? He was also dressed very luxuriously, and I saw him serving tea to the people in the teashed on the street today."

Lin Yanxi didn't think much about it and replied casually, "He, he is the most idle five princes in the capital."

Luo Wanwan's hand was holding a handful of delicate wooden crows, combing them from head to end on Lin Yanxi's black and silky hair, and after hearing his identity, Luo Wanwan's hand paused.

Feeling her abnormality, Lin Yanxi looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Wanwan hurriedly shook her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing."

Later, Luo Wanwan sat at the same table with them to eat, and when Lin Yanxi came down, there was only a place left next to Shen Muzhou, and she walked straight over and sat down.

Shen Yu quipped, "I thought you wouldn't have dinner, and I could only enjoy this good roasted sea bass."

After Lin Yanxi sat down, he grabbed his chopsticks, hit the chopsticks he stretched out to the belly of the fish with the tip of the chopsticks, and said, "You want to be beautiful."

In the past few days, I have been running around and risky, but I have not been able to sit down and have a good meal, and the ratio of this table to the capital is many times worse, but it is the best I have eaten in this time.

Jiang Mingsheng squeezed next to Xiao Liu with a bowl, he sandwiched several pieces of fish belly and put them on the plate in front of Lin Yanxi, the sadness of hearing the changes in the Jiang family was completely invisible, and he smiled and said, "Good apprentice, look at your thinness, you have to eat more."

Shen Yu sneered, "You are a precious apprentice."

Jiang Mingsheng glared at him, and then took a large piece of fish belly meat and put it on Lin Yanxi's plate and said, "That's. Eat more and eat more."

Lin Yanxi looked at this white-bearded monster old man, for the first time, she felt that he was really like her grandfather, although his personality and appearance were different, but for the juniors, the kind of feelings for her could not be pretended, and they loved her very much.

The corners of her lips also turned up unconsciously, revealing a row of small white teeth, sweet.

Shen Muzhou's gaze fell on her from time to time, she looked very happy, but the fish on the plate didn't move much.

Shen Yu saw that everyone was surrounding Lin Yanxi to add food to her, and Luo Wanwan's eyes showed a look of envy when she looked at Lin Yanxi with a shallow smile on her face.

Compared to the one she sat at the very end of the table, there were only two sweet cakes on the plate.

He took a small piece of fish belly and put it on her plate, and casually said, "Eat."

Luo Wanwan was a little flattered, her little hands were fleshy, holding chopsticks, and when she looked at Shen Yu, he had already turned his head to Shen Muzhou's side, and he was not looking at her.

She was still so shy that she hung her head and took a small bite of the fish, and smiled secretly.

Lin Yanxi ate two bites of food, then put down his chopsticks and asked Luo Wanwan, "Wanwan, I still want to eat that candy."

Luo Wanwan smiled, generously took a small oiled paper bag from the cuff, and divided two pieces of sugar from it and put it in a bowl for Lin Yanxi.

Jiang Mingsheng saw that it was a baby apprentice who wanted to eat it, and hurried over to help the apprentice bring it to the front and put it on the table, Lin Yanxi smiled and said, "Thank you."

Her thin little hand just wanted to grab the sugar on the table, but Shen Muzhou took a step ahead of her and took the bowl with the sugar.

He said lightly, "Eat first."

Lin Yanxi frowned and looked at him unhappily, and said a little willfully, "I'm going to eat it now!"

But her willfulness seemed to be of little use in front of him, and she turned her head to her master for help.

Jiang Mingsheng smiled a little embarrassedly, buried his head and pulled the rice in the bowl, and chose to ignore it.

Sure enough, it's unreliable! She was angry but couldn't do anything, so she had to pick up the chopsticks again and eat obediently.

Shen Muzhou sat beside Lin Yanxi, he had always eaten relatively little but was not picky, he looked at Lin Yanxi

He asked, "Why don't you eat fish?" Don't be a picky eater."

In fact, since the drought in Nanmin, the amount of water in the river has decreased sharply, and even fish and shrimp in the capital are considered good ingredients.

Lin Yanxi blinked innocently and said, "I won't do it, usually chestnuts help me pick them out."

Shen Muzhou stared at her face, was silent, changed her plate in front of him, replaced it with a new pair of chopsticks, and patiently picked out the fish bones, without messing with the shape of the fish belly.

Shen Yu was stunned when he saw this scene, Xiao Jiu actually helped others pick fish?

He lifted the tail of the fish on the plate and said in a sharp voice, "Xiao Jiu, I won't pick fish either, help me pick thorns."

Shen Muzhou's sharp eyes glanced at him and said, "If you don't know how to pick fish, don't eat it."

Shen Yu smiled and put the plate down.

After a while, he put the plate in front of her and said, "Next time, I'll learn to pick the thorns myself."

Lin Yanxi flattened his mouth and said, "Don't discipline me."

Rebellious child, Shen Muzhou shook his head, didn't bother with her, and the corners of his mouth that were tightly pursed on weekdays also relaxed a lot.

There was still most of the food left on the plate, and she said to Jiang Mingsheng with a bitter face, "Master, I really can't eat it."

She has a small appetite, and she moves almost the same dish in one bite, but the fish that Shen Muzhou picked for her has been eaten, and it seems that she likes it very much.

"Sugar." She spread out her palms, and her tone was a little unpleasant.

This time, Shen Muzhou didn't stop anymore, put the bowl with sugar in the palm of her hand, Lin Yanxi ignored him anymore, ran away with the sugar, and went to sit next to Luo Wanwan and her.

Early the next morning, everyone was waiting on the first floor of the inn.

Shen Yu yawned, hung down from upstairs, looked at everyone in surprise and said, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Hey, who's waiting for you, waiting for my precious apprentice." Jiang Mingsheng sat on the table with one leg crossed.

Xiao Liu looked at the sky and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to call the second miss?"

After a few days of nervous tension, Xiaoshi's death made her sad and self-blamed for a while, Shen Muzhou said coldly, "Let her sleep for a while."

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Lin Yanxi to come down from upstairs, she wore a water-red gradient dress today, with some broken hair on both sides of her smooth forehead, and her hair was naturally tied up high, like two rabbit ears, which looked very energetic and smart.

She glanced at the crowd and wondered, "What about the evening?"

After getting along for the past two days, she likes that little girl very much, Luo Wanwan is the kind of girl who is happy and angry on her face, and can see through it at a glance, and she always has some cowardice, and she speaks very quietly.

The main thing is that she carries delicious candy with her and is always willing to share it with herself.

Shen Muzhou said, "They took the first step, saying that her sister sent someone to pick her up, and she couldn't delay too long, but she left you a packet of ginger candy."

Lin Yanxi let out a somewhat disappointed "oh", saw the ginger candy, and looked at him expectantly.

Unable to help her with such eyes, Shen Muzhou put the ginger candy in her hand and instructed, "In moderation."

Several people got into the carriage, and the procession walked to the outside of the county and was stopped.

Lin Yanxi lifted the curtain curiously and found that the people kneeling on the ground were all people and homeless people in the city.

One of the women with a familiar face was the one who made a big fuss in the tea shed because of her husband's disappearance that day, and there was a thin man with many injuries standing next to her, who looked like he had been tortured for a long time.

"Girl, miss, I, a village woman I don't know what to call you, this is my father-in-law, he said yes, you rescued him, thank you, thank you very much, my family has passed away because of the drought, what happens to the father-in-law, I really don't live anymore."

Lin Yanxi jumped out of the carriage and pulled the woman on the ground up, her hands were rough and cracked to the touch, and some hands were cut, "Hurry up."

The others also knelt on the ground, and a man spoke: "Thank you, girl, the drought for months has been unspeakably miserable, and the well water has been taken by the black-hearted county order as a private property, and we have collected money everywhere, and it is the girl who has given us a way to live and saved the people of the county!"

」

Lin Yanxi didn't know why, her eyes were also full of tears, she quickly pulled everyone up and said, "Hurry up, these are the merits of our prince, the nine princes in the capital."

Shen Muzhou half-lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the crowd, and the people knelt down again and said, "Meet the prince."

He simply appeased the people with a few words, but the words were not much, but the words were engraved in the hearts of the people.

The carriage went farther and farther, Lin Yanxi looked out of the carriage window, the people gathered together to watch them leave, and in a trance, she seemed to see a small stone standing in the crowd and waving to her.

This time he did not wear a mask and stood in the sun, dressed in clean clothes.

I'm sorry, Xiao Shi, I still couldn't take you back to the capital in the end, I will definitely find Jiang Cong, but your wish.

---

Taifu Mansion.

Because he was not in a hurry, the carriage drove all day, and only entered the capital early the next morning and stopped in front of Taifu's mansion.

Because there are many eyes and ears in the Taifu Mansion, I don't know if her mother's murder has anything to do with Aunt Yu, the person who gave Lin Ruoyan the medicine has not yet been found, and Jiang Mingsheng sneaked out of Zongzheng Temple and couldn't let his father see it.

I could only ask Shen Muzhou to take care of the master for the time being, and settled Jiang Mingsheng in the Muwang Mansion.

There were only two people in the carriage, Lin Yanxi and Shen Muzhou, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, the carriage stopped at the side gate of Taifu's mansion, in a secluded alley, and the people of the Dark Night Division surrounded it.

After making sure that the environment was safe, she slowly spoke: "The people of the county are very grateful to the prince, and they should take this opportunity to find someone to publicize the matter."

Seeing that Shen Muzhou's eyes were staring at her and not speaking, she said helplessly, "Lord Wang, do you think about what kind of image you are in the capital? Cold-faced, ruthless, brutal, and despicable......

The more she spoke, the more energetic she became, and Shen Muzhou interrupted her gloomily and asked, "Oh? But this king did not know that this is what he thinks of this king in the hearts of the people."

Lin Yanxi glanced at him, what do you think?!

Naturally, she didn't say this, and she replied with a smile: "But everything is still in time, as long as this matter is publicized and the benefits of praising the prince a lot, it will naturally increase the favor and prestige of the prince in the eyes of the people for a long time."

Shen Muzhou's face was obviously a little displeased, he didn't look at her, and only responded lightly "um".

She sneered, and her eyes were hateful, "The prince has maintained a gentle and elegant image of a righteous gentleman in front of people for many years, and he is a rare gentleman in the hearts of the people, and I want to ruin everything he has worked hard to manage little by little."

Looking at the hatred on her face, his heart sank for some reason, their marriage was just a union of interests.

"By the way, Zhenshan Dao went to check according to the clues of Zhihailou, is there any news?" She asked again.

He handed her the clues of Zhihailou and said, "According to the clues, the Zhenshan Knife and the Jade Fu are very likely to be in Cong'an, and they have already asked Xiaoliu to set off to chase them."

Lin Yanxi didn't react at first, but she suddenly thought of something, and she was shocked, and said nervously, "It's bad, Xiaoliu is in danger!"
