Outside Li City.
Chai Shao looked at the red horsetail whisk girl angrily. Li Shi Min, who was beside him, also looked helpless. However, seeing Chai Shao's expression, he could only ask the red horsetail whisk girl.
"Hong Fu, where did Second Sister go?"
"Third Young Master, how would I know the whereabouts of the Second Young Lady?”
Facing Li Shiming's question, the woman with the red horsetail whisk waved her hand, indicating that she didn't know anything.
Seeing this scene, just as Chai Shao was about to flare up, he suddenly heard a clear voice not far away.
"Don't make things difficult for Hong Fu, I'm back.”
Li Xiu Ning was seen riding a horse from the direction of Li City. When she arrived beside the red-whisked maiden, she frowned slightly.
"Young Master Chai, Third Brother, don't I, Li Xiu Ning, have any freedom?”
Hearing Li Xiu Ning's words, Chai Shao's originally angry expression instantly changed and he smiled embarrassedly.
"Xiu Ning, how can you not have freedom?”
"However, I'm just worried that something might happen if you go out alone.”
Li Shimin was relieved to see his second sister, Li Xiu Ning, return.
The reason why he brought Li Xiuning out this time was to bring her along to relieve his boredom. However, if this caused Li Xiuning to run away from the marriage, he would not be able to escape.
Even if he was the third young master of the Li family, he would still be punished.
After all, now that the Chai and Li families were about to have a marriage alliance, at this critical moment, the eldest daughter of the Li family ran away from the marriage. Where would the Chai family's face go?
"Alright, Second Sister, Big Brother Chai, don't be angry. It's getting late, let's enter the city earlier.”
Li Shi Min said as he watched Li Xiu Ning return.
Hearing this, Li Xiu Ning didn't say anything and went straight to the carriage with the red-whisked girl.
At the same time, Chai Shao was no longer angry after seeing Li Xiu Ning return, so the matter came to an end temporarily.
Not long after, Li Shiming and his group arrived at the city gate of Li City. After they revealed their identities, the bailiffs of Li City respectfully welcomed them into the city.
Whether it was the Li family or the Chai family, they were not people they could offend.
Seeing Li Shi Min and his group heading towards Qin Shubao's house, the bailiff Fan Hu said enviously.
"Ever since Big Brother Qin was adopted by King Reliance, the people he knows have become more and more powerful.”
"Now, even the Li family and Chai family of Taiyuan have come personally to congratulate Aunt Qin.”
"Forget it. It's useless to think too much. It's better to guard this city gate.”
Another bailiff joked.
Hearing this, Fan Hu shook his head helplessly and continued to guard the city gate.
..............................
In the Qin family's courtyard.
When Li Shimin and his group arrived, they bumped into Qin Shubao, who had just returned from Jia Liulou Inn.
At the same time, Qin Shubao saw Li Shiming and the others and quickly walked over with a smile.
"Brother Shi Min, Brother Chai, you're all here.”
"Brother Qin, how could Shimin not come to Aunt Qin's birthday?”
"Furthermore, father had specifically instructed Shimin to make proper preparations for his visit.”
As he spoke, he saw more than ten Li family guards carrying boxes of gifts into the Qin family's courtyard.
Seeing this, Qin Shubao smiled helplessly. However, he also understood that the Li family had a big business and did not care about these gifts at all.
Therefore, Qin Shubao did not say anything.
Soon, under Qin Shubao's lead, the group entered the courtyard. After drinking a few cups of tea, Qin Shubao looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he spoke.
"Brother Shi Min, Brother Chai, and Miss Li, it's getting late. Shu Bao's humble abode is simple and crude, so I've arranged a guest room at Jia Liu Lou Inn.”
"We'll go together and introduce you guys to each other.”
Li Shimin nodded and smiled.
"Very good."
"I'll listen to Brother Qin's arrangements."
Chai Shao also agreed.
A moment later, the group arrived at Jia Liulou Inn under Qin Shubao's lead.
At the same time, Li Xiu Ning looked at the familiar inn, and a strange light flashed across her beautiful eyes.
"This is the inn Big Brother Qin arranged?”
"But isn't Young Master Yang also here? Could it be that the good friend Big Brother Qin was talking about was Young Master Yang?”
Speaking of Yang Zhao, Li Xiu Ning thought of the scene where Yang Zhao had secretly kissed her forehead, and her beautiful face flushed red.
This scene was seen by the red-whisked girl beside Li Xiuning, and the fire of gossip appeared in her eyes. However, after seeing the situation around her, she knew that now was not the time to ask questions.
Thus, the red-whisked girl made up her mind. When she entered the guest room, she had to interrogate Li Xiu Ning about her meeting with Yang Zhao.
Soon, under Qin Shubao's lead, the group came to the counter of the inn and greeted Jia Runfu, who was doing the accounts.
"Brother Jia, please arrange a guest room for me.”
Jia Runfu raised his head, sized up the crowd, and nodded.
"Brother Qin, please wait a moment. I will arrange it right away.”
As he spoke, Jia Runfu quickly registered them and took out the keys to the guest rooms, handing them to Li Shimin and the others.
During this process, Jia Runfu also saw Li Xiu Ning.
However, he was an old hand after all. Without waiting for Li Xiu Ning to give him a look, Jia Runfu had already consciously displayed an expression that Li Xiu Ning had never seen before.
Li Xiu Ning looked at Jia Runfu gratefully, then took the key to the guest room from Li Shimin's hand, and took the red horsetail whisk girl upstairs to rest.
Qin Shubao smiled when he saw Li Xiu Ning and the red horsetail whisk girl coming to rest.
"Brother Shi Min, Brother Chai, you must be tired from the journey. Go upstairs and rest.”
"Uncle Bao will call you when it's dinner time.”
"That's good too."
Li Shi Min nodded slightly.
A moment later, Li Shimin, Chai Shao, and the others also entered their rooms to rest. Qin Shubao also temporarily stayed in the inn and chatted with Jia Runfu.
During this period, Jia Runfu also learned the identity of Li Xiu Ning and the others from Qin Shubao, which shocked Jia Runfu.
Soon after, they also had more guesses about Yang Zhao's identity!
After all, to be able to make Li Xiu Ning, the eldest daughter of the Li family in Taiyuan, chase after him, it could be seen how extraordinary Yang Zhao's identity was!
Because of this, in Jia Runfu's heart, Yang Zhao's status had also risen quite a bit.
