After a while, Jiang Wei drove the carriage to the same place. Jiang Wei frowned and stopped the carriage. She said, "Madam, we can only get off here because the carriage can't pass through there."

"OK." Yang Zijin nodded and got off when the carriage stopped.

She walked to Woman Flower nearby.

Yang Zijin smiled when she saw the shop door was full of people.

"The promotion planned by Xian seems to be very successful. Although Xian's leg hasn't healed yet, I believe Woman Flower, managed by him, will be more prosperous. I don't have to worry about the things in Jing City after I went to Beiling." Thought Yang Zijin.

When they approached Woman Flower, Jiang Wei hurried forward and then said, "Please make way for us."

Hearing the voice, everyone looked back and saw that it was Yang Zijin. Then they all made way for her one after another.

Yang Zijin went straight to the store.

Just as she entered the store, the road behind her blocked up again.

At the moment, everyone in the shop was busy with their own work. One was responsible for registering and the other for picking up the goods. And Doctor Zhou sat at the door and felt the pulse of the women who bought the Sleeping Beauty mask.

Seeing Yang Zijin come in, everyone looked at her and nodded. Then Yang Zijin gestured for them to continue, and headed for the room inside.

Inside the room

Madam Yang was now anxiously walking around the room.

"My dear madam, don't walk back and forth. I'm so dazzled. You can ask Zijin about the whole thing when she comes here." Lin Mei sat aside, frowned, and said.

Madam Yang agreed and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, she heard the door open.

Then she hurried to look at the door.

She stood up when she saw Yang Zijin. She hurried towards Yang Zijin, held her hand, and said, "Zijin."

"Madam Yang." Yang Zijin smiled and replied. She sat down with Madam Yang.

As soon as they sat down, Madam Yang asked, "Zijin, what's going on here? Don't you go to Beiling with Marquis Shuo today? Why did he..."

Madam Yang said and looked at Yang Zijin. She avoided eye contact with Yang Zijin because she was afraid to hurt Yang Zijin’ feelings.

Yang Zijin replied, "Madam Yang, Marquis Shuo was ordered by His Majesty." She certainly knew what Madam Yang wanted to say.

Madam Yang felt confused and asked, "Is it the Imperial Edict?"

"Yes." Yang Zijin nodded.

Lin Mei frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look, "Why did His Majesty announce the Imperial Edict for the concubine? Who is she?"

"She is An Qin, the daughter of the King of Liao City." Yang Zijin smiled slightly and said.

At the moment, she thought of what An Qin had said to her in Woman Flower yesterday. Today, she saw that An Qin even entered the mansion through the main gate. Yang Zijin felt an unexplainable discomfort.

But she couldn't show it in front of Madam Yang and Lin Mei.

Madam Yang then raised her head and asked, "What about going to Beiling?"

"Of course, I will go." Yang Zijin interrupted her.

Madam Yang frowned and said, "It is a long trip to Beiling. I am so worried about how you can go there alone."

"Don't worry, Madam Yang. Do you remember my elder brother?" Yang Zijin held Madam Yang's hand and said.

"You mean Pei Moning?" Madam Yang thought about it for a moment.

"Yes." Yang Zijin nodded.

Then Yang Zijin said, "Madam Yang, don't worry. My brother will protect me."

Madam Yang smiled and nodded. "What about Shuo Ling?" She asked again.

Yang Zijin felt sad when she thought of Shuo Ling and An Qin. "Shuo Ling is busy, so I guess he can't go with me." Yang Zijin raised her head and said to Madam Yang.

"Does... Does he know that you will go to Beiling?" Madam Yang asked again.

"He will." Yang Zijin stood up and said to Madam Yang.

Then Yang Zijin walked towards Lin Mei and said, "It is so late, and I will go for my brother. Aunt Lin, please send Madam Yang back to the countryside."

"Don't worry. Now that you have decided, we won't say anything else. Just be careful on the road." Lin Mei stood up and said to Yang Zijin.

"I will. I am leaving now." Yang Zijin nodded and walked outside.

After Yang Zijin left, Madam Yang was so worried. She knew that Shuo Ling didn't know Yang Zijin's trip to Beiling from her words.

"Lin Mei, I think Zijin was obviously angry with Shuo Ling though she didn't express it. Should we tell Shuo Ling about it?" Madam Yang looked at Lin Mei and said.

Lin Mei sat down again and said loudly, "She must be angry about it. Not long after her wedding, her husband has to accept the Imperial Edict to marry a concubine. It's must be tough for anyone."

"What should we do now?" Madam Yang asked Lin Mei.

Lin Mei sighed and said, "We have to talk with Shuo Ling."

What Lin Mei said was exactly what Madam Yang thought. Therefore, Madam Yang stood up and was about to walk outside.

"Madam Yang, where are you going?" Lin Mei asked.

At the moment, Madam Yang had opened the door. She turned around and said to Lin Mei, "I am going to the mansion of Marquis."

"Are you crazy?" Lin Mei said to Madam Yang helplessly.

Madam Yang closed the door and took a few steps back. She asked, "Didn't you agree to tell Shuo Ling about it?'

"I did. But I didn't mean to tell him now. Now the mansion is full of guests, and His Majesty is also there. How can we go now?" Lin Mei looked at Madam Yang and said.

Madam Yang sat down at the table and asked, "When do you think we should go?"

"After everyone in the mansion is gone." Lin Mei said to Madam Yang after thinking for a moment.

Madam Yang nodded.

In the mansion of Marquis

The banquet started, and Shuo Ling finally had an opportunity to look for Yang Zijin. Therefore, he walked quickly to Yang Zijin's yard.

When he reached the yard, he was so nervous that he found the door closed. He then opened the door and found nobody inside.

Shuo Ling walked out of the room and wondered whether Zijin had gone back the room or not.

Thinking of this, he ran to their room. Somehow, he had a bad feeling now.

When he reached the room, he opened the door at once. Then he called, "Zijin."

Nobody was inside, either.

At the moment, he was so nervous.

And he ran out of the room.

At the moment, Mo Li just came over and said, "My Lord. His Majesty asked you to..."

"Did you see madam?" Shuo Ling asked before Mo Li finished his words.

Hearing it, Mo Li frowned and answered, "Isn't madam in the room?"

"No." Shuo Ling shook his head and replied.

"Don't worry, My Lord. Jiang Wei is accompanying madam. You can go to the banquet now, and I will look for madam. I think she may go to the Blossoming Peach." Mo Li said.

"OK." Shuo Ling nodded and walked to the banquet.

Then Mo Li ran to the outside hurriedly.

When he reached the mansion door, he asked the guards at the door, "Did madam go out?"

"She went out by a carriage not long ago." The guard answered, pointing to the direction in which the carriage had left.

Mo Li nodded and walked quickly to the Blossoming Peach.

As Mo Li passed by the downtown area, he missed Yang Zijin's carriage when making a turn.

When Mo Li reached the Blossoming Peach, he went straight in it. Zixia who was getting out happened to see him and felt a little familiar with him. She wondered whether he was Marquis Shuo's subordinate. "What happened? Why did he come here hurriedly?" Thought Zixia.

"Young Master Mo?" Zixia stopped and asked.

Mo Li walked to Zixia and asked anxiously before Zixia finished her words, "Have madam been to the Blossoming Peach?"

"Madam? Oh, you mean Her Highness. No, she didn't come here. Haven’t Her Highness said that she would leave Jing City with His Lordship today?" Zixia asked in bewilderment.

Hearing it, Mo Li frowned and wondered where madam would go. Then he murmured to himself, "Woman Flower!"

"Young Master Mo, what happened?" Zixia looked at Mo Li in bewilderment.

"Nothing." Mo Li answered.

Then, Mo Li ran out of the Blossoming Peach and ran to Woman Flower.

Looking at Mo Li's back, Zixia was so confused. "Her Highness has said that she would leave with His Lordship, hasn't she? Mo Li was His Lordship's subordinate. Why didn't he go with them? Why did he come here to ask about Her Highness? What happened?" Thought Zixia.

Zixia frowned when thinking of it.

They didn't know about the wedding in the mansion of Marquis because the Blossoming Peach was far away from the downtown area.

And at that moment, Yang Zijin reached the door of Jianghu Martial Club.

Jiang Wei pulled over the carriage and jumped off it. She opened the curtain, and Yang Zijin got off the carriage.

"Wait here for a moment." Yang Zijin said to Jiang Wei.

Then she walked to Jianghu Martial Club.

At the moment, the students weren't practising. They sat together and chatted. "It must be a time for rest." Thought Yang Zijin.

Seeing someone walking in, Li Shan stood up and walked to Yang Zijin. Li Shan remembered Yang Zijin because she had once been to Jianghu Martial Club. Li Shan asked, "Are you here to see my master?"

"Yes. Where is he now?" Yang Zijin didn't see Pei Moning, so she asked Li Shan.
