Seeing Chen Qingluan’s excited appearance, Xin Ling and Xin Bai were stunned.

“Miss Chen?”

It was only then that Chen Qingluan realized her composure, she slowly sat back in the chair, cleared her throat and said, “I’m just a little surprised, I heard Sir Duke went to the Land of Great Clouds not long ago, why would he suddenly return to the Southwest Region?”

She was both pleased and puzzled.

Since Su Shi went to the Land of Great Clouds, he had not appeared, so it made sense that he was still in Tianji Pavilion.

This time, when she came to Nanli City, she only came to visit the head of the Su family, and did not expect to meet Su Shi.

“Miss Xin, are you sure you didn’t see wrong? Su Shi is really back?”

Chen Qingluan asked.

Xin Bai also said: “Ling’er, you and Su Shi haven’t seen each other for many years, so why~ Could it be a mistake?”

Xin Ling shook her head and said, “I’m very sure, that person must be Su Shi, and he still remembers me.”

“Is that so?”

Xin Bai frowned slightly.

But as the ruler of Nanli City, he didn’t receive any news.

Knock knock knock.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

“City Lord, there is something important to report.”

“Come in.”

The door opened and the servant entered.

He walked quickly to Xin Bai’s side and whispered something.

“What did you say?”

“Sir Duke is really back?!”

Xin Bai exclaimed.

The servant nodded, “I just received word that Sir Duke has arrived at Su Residence.”

The air was silent for a moment.

Xin Bai reacted quickly and ordered, “Prepare a magnificent gift immediately, summon all the officials in the city, big and small, and follow me to Su Residence!”

Su Shi could be considered the real ruler of this city!

His status as Duke and Supervisory Censor, both were high positions in the empire!

Currently the entire Southwestern Region was Su Shi’s fief.

He, the City Lord, could also be considered his subordinate.

“Miss Chen, this is very coincidental, I will also go greet him.”

Xin Bai said.

“Okay.”

Chen Qingluan nodded.

The excited look in her eyes could not be hidden.

Xin Ling saw it, and pondered in her heart.

“The relationship between Miss Chen and Su Shi is not as simple as being friends.”

Weiyang Capital, Zhaotian Palace.

Feng Chaoge leaned on her chin, her eyes were unfocused, and it seemed that some thoughts were out of place.

At this time, the female official came in and said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites has arranged, and the supplies and sacrifices have been prepared.”

The New Year Festival is the most magnificent festival in Linlang.

On this day, the royal family will make sacrifices to the ancestors, hold ceremonies to drive away evil spirits and ward off epidemics, and pray that the country prosper and the people are safe and the country lasts.

At the same time, it is also the day that Feng Chaoge hates the most.

If you want to prosper forever, you must rely on your own hands and feet.

Praying?

The so-called sacrificial ceremony is nothing but self-comfort to show the power of the empire.

But as the king of a country, she must consider the thoughts of the people and ministers.

“If only he were here.”

“At least it wouldn’t be so boring.”

Feng Chaoge sighed silently.

Su Shi went to the Land of Great Clouds, and there was no news for a long time.

She heard that he was appointed by Sikong Lanyue as an Honored Guest, and he was still convenient to stay in Tianji Pavilion.

“I always have a hunch that there is something between him and Zhan Qingchen…”

“By the way, that Censor Chen, has there been any movement recently?”

Feng Chaoge asked.

The female official said: “Ms. Chen is not in the Capital, I heard that she is going to the Southwest Region.”

Her Majesty has been paying special attention to the Chen family recently.

Feng Chaoge frowned slightly, “Chen Qingluan went to the Southwest Region for what…”

Suddenly a light went on in her head.

Wasn’t Su Shi’s hometown also in the Southwest Region?

New Year’s Day was approaching, and given Chen Wangchuan’s previous request to marry…

Obviously, Chen Qingluan went to Su’s family!

“Since they didn’t get my blessing, she came straight to the front door, huh?”

Feng Chaoge clenched her teeth tightly, “This Chen family really can’t help themselves at all!”

“No, I can’t sit still!”

Feng Chaoge got up and walked out of the hall.

The female official asked curiously, “Your Majesty, where are you going?”

Feng Chaoge did not turn hee head, “Back to the room, change, I want to have a private visit!”

“???”

The female official had a question mark on her face.

New Year’s Day was approaching, and Her Majesty really wanted to make a private visit at this time?

The female officer hurriedly asked: “Court affairs…”

Feng Chaoge’s voice from a distance came: “You can do it yourself.”

Female official: “…..”

Su Residence.

In the hall, Mo Yulan grabbed Yu Ren’er hand, and her mouth could hardly close.

Compared with Su Shi’s achievements and status, she was most satisfied with this little daughter-in-law.

Beautiful and cute, well-behaved and pleasant.

She speaks politely and softly, and her voice is delicate, which makes people’s hearts melt.

And it’s not just her looks that are beautiful.

At a young age, she was already in the Golden Elixir Realm, and her talent was not inferior to top talents.

Looking at the spiritual mushroom she just gave out, it was obvious that her family was also very outstanding.

Can’t find any flaws at all.

“Ren’er, don’t worry, auntie will support you in the future.”

“If Su Shi treats you badly, tell me directly and see how I beat him up!”

Mo Yulan patted her chest and said.

Yu Ren’er looked at Su Shi and said softly, “Don’t worry, auntie, Brother Su Shi’s brother is very kind to me, he even saved my life.”

Seeing those gentle eyes, Mo Yulan was even more satisfied.

Eyes are not deceiving.

This girl was crazy about Su Shi.

“Shi’er.”

“Yes?”

“If you dare do anything bad to Ren’er, I will break your legs!”

Su Shi rubbed his eyebrows, “If I remember correctly, I’m the one who became your own son, right?”

Mo Yulan snorted coldly and said, “By the way, I have decided that Ren’er will be my daughter-in-law, hurry up and prepare the wedding as soon as possible!”

Although the Xin girl from the City Lord family was also very good.

But after all, and Su Shi had not seen each other for many years, the two had no emotional basis.

She could not be forced to become a mother.

“Wedding?”

Yu Ren’er blushed.

Am I really going to marry Brother Su Shi?

It feels like a dream.

“If auntie knew I was an outsider, I wonder if she would still like me….”

Yu Ren’er bit her lip, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

A big warm hand grabbed her slender hand.

She looked at Su Shi’s eyes softly, and seemed to see her worried, and said softly, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Yu Ren’er’s heart warmed, her eyes hardened.

“No matter what, I will stay with Brother Su Shi!”

At this moment, the servant entered quickly, “Master, someone came to visit.”

Su Renzong frowned, “Who is it?”

“City Lord Xin.”

“He brought people from the City Lord’s Residence and is already outside the door at this time.”

The servant swallowed his saliva.

He had never seen such a large group of important people.

Su Renzong hurriedly said: “City Lord Xin? Let him in immediately.”

This Xin Bai was no ordinary person!

The servant shook his head, “I have asked, but City Lord Xin refused. He said he came to see Young Master, and wants to wait for Young Master to appear before he comes in.”

Everyone looked at Su Shi in unison.

“It seems like the news has spread very fast.”

Su Shi slowly got up, “Let’s go, go out and take a look.”
