Jiang Wei was used to calling Yang Zijin Her Highness, but now she felt a little uncomfortable to correct the form of address.

Yang Zijin nodded and then asked Jiang Wei, "Does Marquis go out?"

"Yes." Jiang Wei cupped her hands and said.

Although Yang Zijin still had a gleam of hope, she didn't expect that Shuo Ling would really let her return home alone.

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin turned around and said to Zhiyin and Huakai, "Put things on the carriage."

After saying, Yang Zijin got into the carriage and said to Jiang Wei, "Let's go."

Then, Jiang Wei drove the carriage to the mansion of Duke Mu.

At the gate of the mansion of Duke Mu, Duke of Mu knew that Yang Zijin would return home today, so he was already waiting at the door.

Li Mingzi also got up early, dressed up, and went to the door.

Although she was reluctant, as the wife of Duke of Mu, no matter what, she still needed to act like this in front of Duke of Mu.

At this time, Li Mingzi walked to Duke of Mu, "My Lord."

"Well." Duke of Mu looked back at Li Mingzi and then looked outside.

Li Mingzi stood beside Duke of Mu and waited together. At this moment, a carriage came here.

Li Mingzi smiled and pointed, "My Lord, it's Qingcheng."

At this time, Duke of Mu smiled.

And then, he walked down the stairs.

Li Mingzi hurriedly followed, "My Lord, be careful."

When the carriage stopped at the door, Shuo Ling jumped off the carriage and then walked to Duke of Mu, "Father."

Duke of Mu nodded.

"It is Marquis?" Li Mingzi also greeted with a smile at this time.

Shuo Ling glanced at Li Mingzi and didn't respond to Li Mingzi.

Li Mingzi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed at this time.

At this moment, Duke of Mu looked behind Shuo Ling and did not see Yang Zijin. And then he asked, "Where is Qingcheng?"

"Qingcheng said that today is the day that she returns home, and she is not satisfied with the things I chose, so she is still choosing things in the house. She knew that you were waiting for her at the door, so she asked me to come first." Shuo Ling said with the corner of his mouth rising slightly.

After Duke of Mu heard this, he couldn't help saying with a smile, "This kid is really considerate. Then, let's go back first."

Shuo Ling nodded at this time and then entered the mansion with Duke of Mu.

Mo Li asked people to carry the things behind the carriage into the mansion.

At this time, Duke of Mu led Shuo Ling into the hall and asked people to serve the tea.

Mo Li carried the things in and then said, "My Lord, everything is here."

"Well, open it." Shuo Ling nodded and then said to Mo Li.

Mo Li nodded, walked forward and opened the two boxes.

When Mo Li walked to the first box and opened it, Li Mingzi couldn't help staring at the box.

The first box contained some rare and exotic treasures. Whether they were jade or jewellery, from the surface, it seemed that they were all of the high quality.

When Mo Li opened the second box, even Duke of Mu was surprised at it, let alone Li Mingzi.

This box contained a variety of precious medicinal materials. Ginseng was a common medicinal material, but it was the first time that Duke of Mu had seen the bowl-thick ginseng.

Last time he saw the arm-thick ginseng was in the palace. It was sent to the Emperor by an envoy.

Duke of Mu reacted and looked at Shuo Ling, "You're so considerate to prepare so many things."

"Don't say that, Father." Shuo Ling looked at Duke of Mu.

Then, Duke of Mu signalled the servant to carry things away.

Li Mingzi stared blankly at the things being taken away.

Later, Duke of Mu looked at Li Mingzi and signalled to her to go out.

Li Mingzi smiled at Shuo Ling and then said to Duke of Mu, "My Lord, I'll go out to see if Qingcheng has come back."

Duke of Mu nodded, and Li Mingzi walked out of the hall.

For some reason, Li Mingzi always felt that Shuo Ling looked at her in a strange way, but she didn't know how to say it.

After Li Mingzi left, Duke of Mu talked with Shuo Ling.

At this time, Yang Zijin also arrived at the mansion gate. She lifted the curtain, and there were no other people besides the guards at the gate.

Looking at this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but frown. It was the first time she went back to her parents' home after she got married. Unexpectedly, no one was waiting for her at the door.

Jiang Wei walked over and helped Yang Zijin down.

At this time, Yang Zijin said to Huakai and Zhiyin, who were following the carriage, "Take the things on the carriage."

"Yes, madam." Huakai and Zhiyin responded. They went to unload the things from the carriage.

Yang Zijin then walked to the mansion.

Not far after walking into the mansion, she saw Mu Yunong walking over.

At this time, Mu Yunong also saw Yang Zijin and hurried to Yang Zijin, "Sister Qingcheng, you are back."

Yang Zijin nodded and then signalled to Huakai, who was holding the things, to come over. She took the purple box that she had just picked in the mansion of Marquis.

"Well, it's for you." Then Yang Zijin handed the box to Mu Yunong.

Mu Yunong looked at Yang Zijin and smiled, "Sister Qingcheng, is this for me?"

"Yes." Yang Zijin looked at Mu Yunong at this time and nodded with a smile.

Then Yang Zijin continued, "Open it and see what it is."

"OK." Mu Yunong gently opened the box in her hand at this time.

An amethyst was placed in a groove of the box.

It was transparent, emitting a faint purple light. What a beautiful amethyst!

After Mu Yunong saw it, she couldn't help jumping for joy. And then she asked Yang Zijin with a look of disbelief, "Is this really for me?"

"Of course." Yang Zijin patted Mu Yunong's shoulder with a smile.

After hearing this, Mu Yunong couldn't help saying, "This amethyst is gorgeous."

At this time, Li Mingzi, who came out of the hall, came from the opposite side.

With a smile on her face, Li Mingzi said to Yang Zijin, "Qingcheng, you are back."

"Yes." Yang Zijin nodded slightly.

According to Li Mingzi's temperament, it would be nice of Li Mingzi not to say hard words when Li Mingzi saw her come back. She couldn't help but wonder why Li Mingzi was so polite today.

At this time, Li Mingzi looked at the purple box in Mu Yunong's hand and asked, "I heard your scream far away. Is this from Qingcheng?"

"Yes, mom. Sister Qingcheng gave me an amethyst. It's pretty. Look." Mu Yunong said and then opened the box to show to Li Mingzi.

Li Mingzi couldn't help feeling nervous at this time. No wonder Yunong got close to Yang Zijin so quickly.

Seeing the fineness of this amethyst, she thought it should cost a lot of money. Yang Zijin was so generous!

However, Li Mingzi didn't show any expression on her face.

At this time, Yang Zijin took another box from Huakai's hand and then handed it to Li Mingzi, "Wish you like it!"

"Is this for me? Qingcheng is really considerate." Li Mingzi said with a smile.

Li Mingzi saw that Yang Zijin didn't continue talking with her.

Then she said, "Let's go to the hall together. Duke and Marquis Shuo are waiting for you in the hall."

"Shuo Ling?" Yang Zijin couldn't help but frown when she heard it. Didn't she hear it wrong? Didn't Shuo Ling say he had something to do? Why would he show up in the mansion of the Duke Mu now?

Then Yang Zijin nodded, and they walked to the hall.

When they arrived at the gate, she realized it was true!

Shuo Ling was talking about something with Duke of Mu.

Yang Zijin couldn't help cursing Shuo Ling in her heart. Shuo Ling dared to lie to her, which made her feel angry in the morning.

"My Lord, Qingcheng is here." Li Mingzi walked into the door and said to Duke of Mu.

Duke of Mu and Shuo Ling, who were talking, turned their heads and looked outside.

Yang Zijin walked into the hall. She gave a look at Shuo Ling and walked up to Duke of Mu, "Dad, I'm back."

"Well, good, good." Duke of Mu couldn't help feeling delighted when he saw Yang Zijin.

Then he said, "Marquis Shuo said you were choosing the gift for me and let him come first. Next time you return home, you don't have to trouble yourself."

"OK, dad." Yang Zijin nodded and then turned to Shuo Ling. He was really good at lying.

Shuo Ling turned his head to the side at this moment, pretending not to see. Yang Zijin couldn't help cursing him in her heart, "Well, let's see how I'll crucify you after returning to the mansion of Marquis."

At this time, Duke of Mu smiled and asked, "What has Qingcheng prepared for me?"

"They're two ancient calligraphy and paintings. I heard that dad likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, so I chose two in the mansion, which wasted time." Yang Zijin looked at Shuo Ling and said.

Shuo Ling couldn't help coughing at this moment.

After listening to Yang Zijin's words, Duke of Mu smiled, "Qingcheng is really considerate. Then what kind of calligraphy and paintings they are?"

It seemed that these two girls were right, so Yang Zijin walked up to Zhiyin and took the calligraphy and paintings.

Then she walked to Duke of Mu, "Dad, here they are."

"Well, let me see." Duke of Mu took the two calligraphy and paintings.

Then he put them on the table aside and gently opened them.

After the two were unfolded, Duke of Mu stood aside and appreciated them carefully.

One of the paintings was a landscape while the other was the scene of spring.

After Duke of Mu finished appreciating the two paintings, he couldn't help but smile, "Qingcheng really has a good taste. These two ancient paintings were made by a master. The composition and layout are very clear. The inscription on the side is also vigorous."

Later, Duke of Mu gently put away the two paintings.

Then he said to Yang Zijin and Shuo Ling, "It's still a long time until lunch. Qingcheng, you lead Marquis Shuo to visit the mansion."

"OK." Yang Zijin nodded with a smile at this time.

There was a sly smile on her face. "Let's see how I would crucify you, Shuo Ling."

Then Yang Zijin walked to Shuo Ling and smiled, "Let's go, darling."

Shuo Ling got up and walked outside with Yang Zijin.

Looking at the backs of Yang Zijin and Shuo Ling, Duke of Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Shuo Ling's words just now also set his mind at rest.
