Su Xuan’s carriage stopped at the door of the Directorate.

After reading the note on the table, he clenched his fist and the note turned to ashes.

“Su Xuan!”

A crisp and pleasant voice came from outside the carriage.

Su Xuan pushed open the car window and greeted the other party, “Princess

Hui An.”

Princess Hui An wanted to go to the city gate to send her sidekick off, but her sidekick had already set off. She could only turn back. When she pa.s.sed by the Directorate, she saw a familiar carriage.

She remembered that it was Su Xuan’s.

“It’s really you.”

Although the two of them had been in an intimate situation before, as a princess of a country, she did not have to be bogged down by these so-called trappings of reputation. Coupled with the fact that it was an accident, she did not take it to heart. Her interactions with Su Xuan were no different from usual.

She sat in her carriage and raised her chin at Su Xuan. “My sidekick has left.

You’re her brother and my future brother-in-law. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you!”

When Su Xuan heard her call him her future brother-in-law, his expression did not change at all. He only smiled quietly. “Thank you, Princess.”

Su Xiaoxiao and the others went south by water. They traveled quickly day and night.

Originally, they were supposed to pa.s.s by Qingzhou. This way, they could visit Grandmaster Hui Jue and Su Yuniang and return to the countryside to offer incense to Madam Chen.

Unexpectedly, the boatman traveled past at night. When dawn came, they realized that they had already left Qingzhou.

They came from Qingzhou on the river current and were going extremely fast. If they turned back, they would be go against the current. Coupled with the fact that the weather had become bad, they would not be able to arrive in three to five days.

They could only go to Qingzhou when they return from the southern border and.

After walking for a few more days, they changed carriages in Xuan Town and drove all the way to Yuzhou before changing the waterway again.

This time, after entering the territory of the Su family’s navy, Xiao Shunyang revealed his ident.i.ty and the customs doc.u.ment given by Emperor Jing Xuan. The group boarded the warship and was escorted by the Su family’s navy. They arrived at White Water Town in mid-February.

Further ahead was the border of the southern border. It was already late and they could not get through the pa.s.s today. The group found a good inn in town to stay in.

Su Xiaoxiao and the three little ones had one room. Li Wan, Wei Xiyue, and Mei Ji had another room. Wei Ting and Wei Qing lived in the same room. Yuchi Xiu and the others had to take turns on night duty, so they shared xone room.

The three children ran down the second-floor corridor.

“Dahu, come and catch me!”

“That’s right, that’s right! Dahu, come catch us!”

Dahu went to chase away his two stinky brothers who dared to provoke his eldest brother’s authority and decided to suppress them with his bloodline.

Xiao Shunyang was about to enter his room when he saw Li Wan enter Zhuge Qing’s room.

Wei Ting was negotiating with the shopkeeper in the lobby. Why did she enter Wei Qing’s room alone?

What was her relationship with Wei Qing?

Xiao Shunyang felt that something was wrong and wanted to go over to take a look.

At this moment…

Phew!

A little packrat rushed over and stepped on him.

He frowned in pain and retracted his foot.

Phew!

Another little packrat rushed over and stepped on his other foot.

Although the little fellows were only three years old, it hurt when they stepped on him!

When the third little packrat rushed over, he decisively took two large steps back.

Indeed, this little packrat did not step on him.

But who would have thought that the two of them would turn back and step on him again…

Xiao Shunyang gritted his teeth.” You did it on purpose, right?”

It was strange. After traveling for so many days, the adults were listless, but the three little fellows were each more energetic than the other. They had never been dejected. What had they eaten to grow up?

Xiao Shunyang couldn’t help but take a few more glances. He suddenly remembered something important and walked towards Wei Qing’s room.

However, when he pushed open Wei Qings door, he saw Wei Qing sitting alone in the room.

Wei Qing looked at him indifferently. ‘What’s the matter, King Rui?”

Xiao Shunyang was about to speak when Su Xiaoxiao walked over holding Li

Wan’s arm. “Second Sister-in-law, you know how to shop!”

Xiao Shunyang stopped the two of them and asked suspiciously, “You… just returned from outside?”

Su Xiaoxiao waved the steaming paper bag in her hand. “Yes, we went to the opposite side to buy a few pieces of rice cake.”

Xiao Shunyang glanced at Li Wan and Wei Qing and did not continue asking. He turned around and returned to his room.

Li Wan heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. He was really a big problem. He was much harder to fool than Xiao Duye. She had to find an opportunity to shake him off. Su Xiaoxiao called Wei Ting up and went to Wei Qing’s room with him.

She told them what she thought..
