My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 29 Xiao Chen's Visit
Although she lived in the farm for the past three years, she thought that she could not rely solely on her family to eat at work, so she used the private money accumulated by the original owner for many years to open a small restaurant in the city, and named it Firework Kitchen.

In the beginning, Lin Shuran only wanted to earn a few coins from his private house. How could he think that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys? The Fireworks Chef who opened in the back street gradually became famous in the capital because of his specialty roasted chicken sauce, and now he has become famous. One of the three major restaurants in Liejing City.

When Fireworks Kitchen first became popular, many people secretly plotted against it, wanting to know who its owner was, but then it all disappeared. Lin Shuran knew in her heart that it was her ancient father, Lin Youxing, who was behind the scenes. No one dared to make trouble for the restaurant easily with the help of the current imperial tutor as the backer.

As long as the portrait is handed over to the shopkeeper of Fireworks Kitchen, he will have his own way to help Lin Shuran find someone.

Sure enough, on the second day, the shopkeeper of Fireworks Kitchen helped Lin Shuran find out the news, but he never thought that the little tiger that Xu Minghao was talking about would be in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Miss, the shopkeeper said that he inquired about it from a jailer of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who often went to the small kitchen to eat, and said that this little tiger might be related to the murder case of an official's family in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and that he was an important prisoner caught by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. "Chunxi told Lin Shuran what the shopkeeper said.

How is it related to the murder case?Lin Shuran was puzzled. According to Xu Minghao, this little tiger was about his age. He had been begging in the capital for several years. He was usually very timid and was always bullied.

Although he already knew the whereabouts of Xiao Huzi, but the specific situation was still unclear. Lin Shuran wanted to find out and then tell Xu Minghao, who would have thought that when it was approaching noon, Xiao Chen, the current servant of the Ministry of Justice, came to ask for an audience.

"Miss, the general sent someone to send a message in the front yard, saying that Mr. Xiao, the servant of the criminal department, has business to ask you. Have you seen it?" Madam Zhang asked a little cautiously. She is an old man of the Lin family, so she naturally knows Lin Shuran and Xiao Xiao. Chen has known each other since childhood, if Xiao Chen hadn't married the young lady of Da Sima's family, her young lady might have become Mrs. Xiao.

As soon as he found out that Xiao Huzi was in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xiao Chen, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, approached him. Lin Shuran was not afraid of seeing Xiao Chen. Even if the two of them could not become husband and wife, they could still be considered friends.

So she came to the reception hall in the front yard, and when she walked in, Xu Junze and Xiao Chen were sitting there, one host and one guest, the two were quietly drinking tea, neither of them spoke.

Counting it, she and Xiao Chen hadn't seen each other for more than a year. She was not the original owner, and she only had memories of Xiao Chen in her mind, but she had no feelings for her.

But Xiao Chen was different. When he noticed Lin Shuran coming in, his body tensed up unnaturally, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at her, with complicated emotions in his eyes, and it was hard to hide his affection.

"I've met Lord Xiao!" Lin Shuran could hardly ignore Xiao Chen's fiery gaze on her, but he still saluted politely.

Today's Xiao Chen was dressed in an official uniform, which set off his already slender and straight figure to be even more majestic and heroic. His face was as cold as usual, making it difficult to approach.

Lin Shuran's "Lord Xiao" seemed to intentionally distance the two of them, which made Xiao Chen very sad. In fact, since the death of his friend Gu Jingcheng three years ago, Lin Shuran looked at everyone with strange and distanced eyes. , as if her heart and soul followed Gu Jingcheng away.

His love for her is no less than Gu Jingcheng's love for her, but since she was a child, she only had Gu Jingcheng in her eyes. She thought that he had a chance after his friend passed away, but this chance was buried by himself. The family had no choice but to marry Su Wanwan as his wife, and now Lin Shuran has become someone else's wife.

He regretted it, regretted it very much, even at this moment he wished that Lalin Shuran would leave and told her that he only loved her in his life, but reason made him calm down and told him not to do that.

"You are being so polite to me now, are you blaming me?" But Xiao Chen stood up slowly, took a step towards Lin Shuran, and fixed his eyes on her.

Xiao Chen's words caused Xu Junze to frown. He had never deliberately inquired about Lin Shuran, but he also knew that Lin Xiao and Gu's family were family friends. As the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, it was not unusual for Xiao Chen to know Lin Shuran.

Xu Junze didn't care that Xiao Chen looked at his newlywed wife affectionately, but looked at Lin Shuran with the same concentration, only to see her walk past Xiao Chen and walk in front of him, and then sat down on the main chair symbolizing the hostess. Coming down, facing Xiao Chen, he said calmly: "Master Xiao, what are you talking about? The servant told me that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment wanted to see me on official business. I know that Master Xiao has always distinguished between public and private, and is strict in dealing with affairs. I dare not break your rules."

Lin Shuran's words made it hard to find reason, but Xiao Chen knew in his heart that she and him had become more and more separated, and then took another look at Xu Junze who was sitting silently, Xiao Chen then turned around and sat down again.

It is true that he came to the General's Mansion today for business, but he also wanted to see her for business reasons, and they hadn't spoken for a year.

"I don't know, why is Master Xiao looking for my wife?" Xu Junze asked indifferently, but Xiao Chen and Lin Shuran both looked sideways at him after hearing it. The words "my wife" were obviously normal when Xu Junze said them, but Xiao Chen felt bitter when he heard it, Lin Shuran felt a little surprised, as if Xu Junze would not say this.

Xiao Chen restrained his mind for a while, and then looked at Xu Junze with a serious tone and replied: "I came to the door today to ask sister Shu Ran about the death of Luo Wenxuan, a young girl in the official department!"

Xiao Chen deliberately said the words "Sister Shu Ran" in an intimate and natural way, as if this could offset the impact Xu Junze's words "my wife" brought to him.

"Since it is a business matter, Mr. Xiao should call my wife Mrs. Xu. Bad manners are not Mrs. Xiao's style!" Xu Junze's words gave off an invisible coercion. If others were in front of him, they might feel afraid. But Xiao Chen was also a person who waded through the sea of ​​swords and blood, and he did not lose his aura in front of Xu Junze.

So, instead, he gave Lin Shuran a gentle look in his eyes, then turned to Xu Junze and said, "Sister Shuran and I have known each other since we were young, and our relationship is incomparable to others. To me, she has never been within the rules."

"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, to be so gentle. However, Mr. Xiao needs to be cautious in what he says in the future. After all, you already have a family, so don't cause trouble for others at will. You still have to have the rules you should have!" Xu Junze's tone of the last sentence was obviously aggravated, and it meant something.
