Chapter 358: Hurry and Follow Us!

Get lost!

What? You actually dare tell me to get lost? In She Xian Cheng, no one has ever dared speak to me like that.

Exactly, you all look like outsiders; do you even know the rules of She Xian Cheng?

You want to be a local emperor? Then you need to see whether you have the brains for it.

What a case of refusing a toast only to drink a penalty wine. Let me tell you, we've set our sights on those two women; you must obediently bring them to the young master's bed, and that'll be it. If you don't, don't blame the young master for making you unable to eat and getting you taken away.

Hai Chuan and Eleven exchanged a glance, both showing angry eyes. Damn it, even in the capital, the emperor's brother's son wouldn't dare speak like that. These bastards actually forcefully seized a civilian woman in broad daylight.

The two didn't act, they only said softly.

Yang Yang, they've been handed over to you; anyone who teases my wife or teases my fiancée dies!

Just as a few playboys were smug, the person vanished; in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared from sight—so fast.

Hai Chuan and Eleven crouched down, feeling their mechanical corners; what kind of force is that, to push a person away completely?

It's not gone; it's been flung away. As for where it landed, Yang Yang doesn't know either; in any case, it's gone.

After returning to the capital, Eleven heard his mother-in-law was still in seclusion, so he went back to the Imperial Palace. Yuan Jiaqi had everything at home arranged properly, so Jia Mei didn't need to be burdened. Yet after she returned, she quickly inspected; she must help her mother-in-law manage the household.

Thinking that after they finish eating they should leave quickly, they must not affect the diners.

The few got along well, discussed matters together, and even promised to return together next time.

Ling'er and the others stayed behind waiting for results; every day when there was nothing to do they went outside the county town to help Qiao Mai patrol those pine forests.

When he saw the few people before him, his years of court experience instinctively told him they were not to be trifled with.

Your Dizi is missing, why are you looking for us?

Little did they know, if it weren't for this county magistrate's spoiling, it wouldn't have turned out like this.

Impossible, how could they appear here?

After ordering mutton soup and oil‑fried baked buns, they waited; there were many people, and they still needed about half a quarter‑hour.

My god, the county magistrate at this moment stared blankly at them, his gaze shifting to Eleven's belt.

Finish the mutton soup first, then speak; you wait outside. The official laughed outright upon hearing that.

At this moment the county magistrate's head buzzed; my god, his Dizi actually provoked some kind of person.

He was caught red‑handed; this time, accompanying him was also the county magistrate of She Xian.

After returning to Tianshui Town, Ling'er and Chuan'er, following Qiao Mai's example, arranged the household and set out for the capital on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

This let the first‑time traveler Eleven experience the life of northern commoners, which will be beneficial for him in the future.

At this moment, Wang Zongsheng was leading people rushing toward She County; Hai Chuan led them to find an inn and directly booked the entire inn.

No, you must follow this official back to the county office.

Where have you taken this official's Dizi?

The princess also doesn't want to go,

But this official, after investigation, found that he was with you.

At that moment, an official rushed in.

They went straight to the four and asked, "Did you just hit someone?"

The county princess also doesn't want to go.

Yuan Jiaqi had no mood to take up his post; later he directly asked the emperor for leave, placed a meditation cushion at Qiao Mai's doorway, sat cross‑legged on it, and cultivated together with his daughter‑in‑law.

They were surrounded with no way out; when they returned to Tianshui Town, they slipped away early in the morning.

Outsiders, what's the matter?

As for these small fry, with Hai Chuan and Eleven's status they wouldn't even think about it; they continued to wander around She Xian Cheng.

"Hmph, these words, you should still tell County Magistrate."

Eleven's guards sealed off the county office; Wang Zongsheng arrived under cover of darkness.

Three sheep dug hard with their hind hooves, stuck out their rumps, kicked hard; several officials were kicked out of the door. The three sheep ran to the doorway to guard it; anyone who dared enter was kicked.

Four people entered the shop, saw an empty seat, and sat down.

They settled the accounts, helped the common folk deal with a corrupt official, which was pretty good.

After the Fifteenth, the emperor issued an edict, enfeoffing the Eleventh Prince as Crown Prince.

Seeing the whole shop's diners frozen, the owner, seeing these people couldn't be provoked, quickly had someone serve them mutton soup and baked buns first.

The common folk learned that She County had received four such important figures, and they guarded the city gate daily hoping to catch a glimpse.

The county magistrate, after waking, sat on the ground and wept loudly; his daughter‑in‑law came to ask, was beaten brutally, kept saying the daughter‑in‑law spoiled the child, which caused a great disaster.

They ate two dry ones, which was enough to feel full; the few got up, settled the bill, and just left the shop.

The county magistrate was a man in his thirties, not very tall, a bit plump.

Three days later, the county magistrate was removed from office and sentenced; his house was immediately confiscated, the appropriate exile was exiled, the appropriate imprisonment was imprisoned, and no oppressor of the common folk was spared.

Yuan Jiaqi wandered by Qiao Mai's doorway every day; the higher his daughter‑in‑law's cultivation, the happier he was, yet the more worried, fearing something might happen.

It was just to wait for the prefect to arrive and handle this matter.

Although Eleven is the future heir apparent, he has no airs; Ling'er gets along with him quite well, and he is taken care of very attentively.

Seeing a mutton soup shop, Ling'er's eyes lit up, "My mother loves this shop's mutton soup; it's clean and tasty."

Eleven sniffed the aroma; as a true southerner, he honestly can't get used to it, can't even smell it, but for Ling'er he is willing to try.

That damn county magistrate, since arriving here, constantly extorts money; besides not daring to mess with Qiao Mai's workshop, he spares no one's profit.

"Who are you?"

Yang Yang tilted his head at the officials; Hai Chuan curled his lip and shouted to Yang Yang, "Kick them out!"

When officials and the mutton soup shop tried to seize them, Eleven dispatched guards on swift horses to the prefectural city.

Here Eleven also announced his identity, "Your Highness also doesn't want to go."

He met with a few people, and after grasping the situation, he dispatched men to take over the Xian Ya and immediately launched an investigation.

Although Jia Mei is also from Nanfang, she can barely tolerate the lamb soup after seasoning; Eleven cannot—he took two sips and then stopped, but he can still accept the oil‑fried baked biscuit.

The bond between the two deepened considerably during this outing.

Their family's achievements owe much to their wife; she must absolutely avoid any mishap.

"Truly ridiculous, we no longer recognize him."

The County Magistrate concentrated, thinking hard: Fu Wang, Fu Wang's consort? His son seems to be a Third‑rank official, his daughter a Princess, his son‑in‑law the Eleventh Prince, and that Princess is the newlywed wife of the Third‑rank official.

That sentence sounded so familiar; could any of those Playboys just now include the County Magistrate's son?

"Who do you think you are? This is the adults' territory, hurry and follow us!"

"Heh, what if I, the official, don't go?"

On the day they left, heavy snow swirled, letting them fully enjoy a snowy scene.

"Attack? How could that be, we never made a move, and they vanished."

Time slipped by bit by bit—thirty, the first day, the second day, all the way to the fifteenth—and there was still no movement in Qiao Bi's room.

There hung a jade pendant, a dragon pendant, symbolizing status; at that moment the County Magistrate rolled his eyes and fainted.

As for the ceremony and such, Yuan Jiaqi did not attend; he is now completely satisfied that it's all his wife, and that day Hai Chuan went with his daughter‑in‑law and younger sister to attend.

Not until the Dragon Raises Its Head day on the second day of the second month did Qiao Mai's door finally open.

Yuan Jiaqi sprang up, turned back and saw his wife, his mouth opening in surprise.

"Wife, I feel you are somehow different."

Qiao Mai smiled, "It's nothing more than a Realm Advancement to a Major Realm, not much different from usual."
