The person hiding on the roof didn't expect Lu JinNian to have known of his existence all along. He was so shocked that he almost slid down from the roof. Furthermore, upon hearing Lu JinNian's words, he almost fell down.

Since this was a dangerous place, it was the right choice to report back immediately. Thus, he left his hiding spot and ran back.

Lu JinNian aimed at the man's butt with his weapon and his wrist.

The man screamed miserably.

Lu Jinjian looked at the spot that the man had covered and muttered with a frown, "I didn't even manage to stab the chrysanthemum. Tsk tsk."

After sighing with emotion, Lu JinNian left the place. Only when she could no longer smell the stench of blood did she finally heave a sigh of relief and return to thinking.

Although her disguise technique was not proficient, it was not easy for people to see through it. She had been to many places with the identity of 'Chu Qingxian', and had only seen and seen a few people, and her jade-green footwork was revealed this time. Furthermore, it seemed like only the leader of the group had a grudge with the Yin family, which led to her killing intent.

If her identity as a woman disguised as a man was exposed, then there was no need to follow her. Wouldn't it be fine if they just waited at the Great General's mansion to capture her?

In any case, she had already spread the word. If the person behind her did not send out the message, there was no need for her to investigate it clearly, she did not want to make them feel good about it. If she had the guts to come knocking on their door again, why would she need to waste her time to investigate?

Lu JinNian's footsteps were brisk, but he retracted his breath and hid himself. He found a place to change his appearance and only came out after changing back into the appearance of a woman.

After confirming that no one was following him, he wandered off to the embroidery workshop.

It was only the middle of the morning, yet there were already several people lining up in the embroidery workshop to customize the clothes. As expected, Princess Chen Jia and the ladies she was familiar with started to advertise the cornflower pattern.

In addition to the arrival of the Huns, the relationship between the two countries had been quite different. In recent days, the Huns had been playing around in the capital city, and everything was new to them. Moreover, they didn't have the pride of the Reichs, and they carried on the fine tradition of friendly hospitality; at least, the people didn't hate the Huns, and were more interested in the cornflowers, which they considered to be flowers of good fortune.

Therefore, in these days, the number of orders for the cornflower fabric has reached a soft spot.

"Miss, as Miss had expected, Princess Chen Jia and the Hun came with her. Princess Hun is very interested in cornflowers, and she even made a piece of cloth, so she will hand it over tomorrow."

Lu Jinsheng's mouth twitched. Tomorrow, again tomorrow. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to find time to hook up with the princess of the Huns.

However …

"You said that Princess Chenya came with Princess Hun?"

"There is also the Prince of Huns present. From their conversation, it seems that Princess Chenya is responsible for receiving the Huns' messengers and bringing them to Liang Jing City for a look."

"That's good as well." Lu JinNian rubbed his chin, "Right, where does Mu Qin live? I have something to talk to her about. "

"She is either researching on the medicinal plants she brought from the Western Regions or sleeping. Rest assured Miss, when it is time to eat, she will come back for more food. When that time comes, I will be able to see her."

"Alright, but I still have something I need to do. I'll see her again at dinner time."

"..."

72 Fengyuan Street, Huai Wang Manor.

This was the first time Lu Jinniang had knocked on the main door to ask for an audience, so he was inexplicably excited and nervous. Then, he felt that his novelty and excitement had come to an inexplicable extent after being led to the parlour by a servant of the Duke Huai Palace.

Moreover, there were very few servants, and many places were neglected to take care of. However, thinking about the fact that Duke Huai had been living in the prefecture for a long time and had only been back for a few months, it was clear that he would return to the feudal fiefdom sometime.

After hearing the servants say that Xiao Su would only be back after a while, Lu Jinsheng was in no hurry. He sat in the parlour for a while and walked around the yard.

In the center of the courtyard, there was a flower bed. The fresh cut marks on the verdant and verdant lawn were clearly visible. Pink and tender peach blossoms hung from the branches, and some of them had already bloomed.

There was a transparent mist on the petals and branches of the flowers. Lu Jinniang stood on tiptoe and approached the nearest peach flower. He stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked the dew that had been soaked by the stamens.

The soft tongue, the soft petals and the sweet dew had created a wonderful refreshing taste. After Lu Jinsheng finished licking it, he even took a sip.

"So sweet."

Far away in the corridor, Xiao Su stared at her in a daze. Her white clothes were otherworldly, and her long hair fluttered in the wind.

Xiao Su had always known that escaping was not the way to solve problems. If he wanted to solve control problems, he had to face them head on. He had always done this, so he did not deny that he liked Lu JinNian.

He hadn't seen Lu JinNian in the past two days, nor had he thought about her on his own initiative, so he felt that he had controlled himself. He didn't think that all of his self-control would crumble the moment he saw her.

The space was so quiet that it seemed as if it had frozen. His feet were rooted in place as he forgot how to react. He did not know what to do next. He could only hear the sound of his own heart beating — Putong, Putong.

A warm, humid wind blew past. Lu JinNian tucked his hair behind his ears, looked at Xiao Su and waved his hand, "Hey, I've been waiting for you, Su Su."

Seeing that Xiao Su was still standing there without moving, she tilted her head and tiptoed over to her. "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Su looked at the little girl in front of her, blinked her eyes, and then controlled her impulse to hug him tightly, "I-It's nothing, A Jin's looking for me?"

Lu Jinniang frowned, "It's fine. Every time I see you, you don't look too good. Are you really feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xiao Su shook her head. Seeing that he denied it, Lu JinNian could not say anything else, "Alright then. This is not a good place to talk, let's go back to the house and talk."

With that, he grabbed Xiao Su's hand and walked into the parlour. It was windy outside, but they had to stand for the sake of not getting tired … Cough cough, taking care of this unconscious patient is a necessity.

The other hand in his palm was smaller than his. The moment he moved, his hand would be completely covered by his palm. It would be warmer than his hand, and it would be completely different from his body temperature, which was always lower than an ordinary person's, softer than his … En, very easy to pinch.

Xiao Su's eyes fell on the handshake. This was the first time Lu Jinniang had taken the initiative to hold his hand. Since he couldn't control it for now, he might as well let it go for now.
