As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Maybe the weather was fine along the way, which was convenient for them.

On the day we entered Beijing, the weather turned gloomy. The sky was gray and there were not many people on the streets.

Xie Changyu's return was low-key, and the ministers did not know about it.

In addition, Xie Wei returned home early, attracting the attention of important ministers and nobles in the capital.

After entering the city, Xie Changyu did not need to deal with the greeting of his colleagues, so he arrived in front of the Xie Mansion without any delay.

It was also to prevent the family from raising troops and stirring up crowds, so Xie Changyu did not send anyone to inform his family in advance of the exact time of his arrival in Beijing.

So much so that when he got off his horse in front of the mansion gate, the gatekeeper's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, as if his eyesight might be blurred.

Xie Changyu looked calm. After dismounting, he strode to the carriage and picked up his somewhat bulky wife.

Qiu Lingyun followed Qiu Huixian and whispered, "Wow, this mansion is so big."

It looks to be at least two or three bigger than the Duke of Liang's Mansion in Yancheng.

Qiu Huixian stared at the plaque in front of the door, took a breath slowly, and glanced at Qiu Lingyun.

Qiu Lingyun shut up sensibly and rested on Qiu Huixian's other elbow.

"go in."

Xie Changyu said, while helping his wife up the front steps, he asked: "Who is in the house today?"

"This... Your Majesty, the Duke and his wife have entered the palace today."

The soldiers who came back to their senses quickly stepped forward and saluted: "The Sixth Master never left the Yamen when he was on duty. The Sixth Madam went to pick him up. Now only the Fifth Master and the Fifth Madam are in the mansion."

Xie Changyu nodded: "Has Changfeng Garden been cleaned up?"

"Hui Shizi, after receiving the letter earlier, the fifth lady ordered people to tidy up everything, so that the daily utensils and servants are all in good order."

"I know, you don't have to follow."

Xie Changyu said nothing, led his wife forward, and said: "Let's go to Changfeng Garden to rest for a while. We will come back later, and we will meet formally again."

The fu soldiers stretched their necks.

Is that the Crown Prince's wife?

Qiu Huixian nodded and said softly: "My husband is right not to inform me in advance of the exact time of my return."

She was also afraid of overly mobilizing troops to welcome him.

When the time comes, I don’t know how many people’s eyes will fall on me, and it’s not a great feeling to think about.

"Ah."

Xie Changyu asked: "Do you want someone to prepare a soft sedan? This place is larger than the mansion in Yancheng, and it is still a long way to Changfeng Garden."

"No need." Qiu Huixian shook her head quickly, "It's only a few steps away. My body is not heavy enough to need a soft sedan. Besides, I have been riding in the car all day."

"My body is almost rusty. It's time to move around."

"That's fine too."

Xie Changyu nodded and continued walking forward with his wife.

On the road, I met patrolling soldiers and servants, and their expressions were similar to those of the soldiers in front of the door.

Everyone quickly saluted Xie Changyu, but most of their eyes fell on Qiu Huixian.

Qiu Huixian had known that this would be the case.

She had grown up calling for slaves and maidservants since she was a child. She was accustomed to such gazes and was very calm.

Along the way, Priscilla Qiu would ask about the purpose of those courtyards and who lived there.

As a result, Xie Changyu remained silent for a long time.

When I passed by a large courtyard, I said it was called Chunhe Building, where my parents lived, and there was also an attic with raised eaves, which was where my younger sister lived before she got married.

The other courtyards had no idea and couldn't tell.

Qiu Lingyun joked in a low voice: "Why is my brother-in-law so unfamiliar with his home?" Xie Changyu was silent and coughed: "I rarely come back. Even when I come back, I am busy with business and don't spend much time at home."

"I see."

Qiu Huixian glanced at Qiu Lingyun and said softly: "My husband has so many important things to do, these trivial matters should not cost my husband too much thought."

Qiu Lingyun stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Xie Changyu said an unnecessary "hmm".

The group continued forward and entered the garden. Xie Changyu suddenly stopped and frowned.

Priscilla Qiu was a little confused and was about to ask what was wrong when she heard a lazy and smiling male voice say: "I just said this color is beautiful."

"Let go, stop making trouble!"

Then there was a woman's angry voice, with a hint of gasping in her breath: "You are so shameless now, this is the garden, someone will come at any time!"

"I'm blocking it so no one can see you."

"I can hear the sound!"

"That's nothing. At most, we thought we were talking here and wouldn't come here without looking at them."

The man's voice was light and his smile was a little bit evil, "You, after all this time, you have no courage at all. If I hug you outside, you will turn pale with fear."

"What are you afraid of? We didn't do anything bad."

The woman gnashed her teeth and said: "Let go, let go - stop making trouble."

Listening to this conversation, Qiu Huixian pursed her lips in shock and opened her pupils slightly.

Qiu Lingyun was also shocked and opened her mouth wide.

The content of the conversation between the man and the woman was completely ambiguous.

And from the tone, the man should be the master of the house.

Earlier, Xie Changyu asked who was in the house now, and the soldier said that only the fifth master and the fifth wife were there.

So is this man Xie Changyuan, the fifth son of the Xie family?
I heard that Fifth Young Master Xie was a promiscuous man and was notorious.

So, here he is... having an affair?
The man's voice over there became more frivolous and funny, "Did you know that men are very mean-spirited? The more you say you don't want me, the more -"

"Fifth brother."

At this moment, Xie Changyu called out coldly.

Behind the pillar, the man's frivolous laughter and the woman's annoyed and weak rejection stopped abruptly at the same time.

After a moment, a handsome man in blue brocade clothes came out from behind the corridor pillar, shaking an ink folding fan, and said with a smile on Xie Changyu's face: "Brother is back, why didn't you send someone to notify him in advance?"

Xie Changyu said coldly: "We haven't seen each other for several years. My fifth brother has not changed at all. He is still acting like before."

"..."

Xie Changyuan stopped laughing immediately and stood up obediently: "Brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not messing around. I'm just enjoying the cool weather here with Ning Ning to talk. Is this my sister-in-law?"

After he finished speaking, he looked behind the pillar: "Ning Ning, why are you bothering? You haven't come out to meet your elder brother and sister-in-law yet."

Behind the corridor pillar, Chen Shulan glared at Xie Changyuan with great force, then walked out stiffly, and saluted straightly in the direction of Xie Changyu: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's been a hard journey."

She had quickly tidied up her slightly messy clothes, but her bun was a little loose and she had no time to tidy it up.

Xie Changyu's eyes were indifferent, he looked like an eldest brother and a prince, and he would not pay much attention to his younger siblings.

He just stared at Xie Changyuan twice.

However, Qiu Huixian glanced at "Ning Ning" once or twice, and she guessed from the bun of her hair that she was not just talking in the shade behind the pillar.

And from her voice, she could be heard to be the fifth lady, Chen Shulan.

This awkward first meeting made Qiu Huixian silent for a moment, and then she smiled and said: "Fifth brother, fifth brother and sister are polite." (End of Chapter)
