Chapter 392 In fact, my family is an official
"no!"

The corner of Chu Baichuan's mouth twitched. What kind of logic is this girl doing? He knows the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau, and the family owns the Escort Bureau?

Then he also knew that there was a blacksmith's shop in Chang'an City, so he was a blacksmith?

"What's that for?"

Lin Xiaoxi snorted and asked.

"I didn't do anything, I just have a few shops at home..."

Thinking of Lin Xiaoxi's ideal life of planting vegetables and growing flowers, even though he pretended to be Shangguan Yifei, Pei Baichuan still felt that it was not easy to say it, for fear of scaring people away.

"Yeah, you're in business. If you have a good relationship, what do you sell?"

Lin Xiaoxi thought that she opened a shop, that's just right, she can also do business at that time, it just happens to be the right family, it couldn't be better.

At this time, Lin Xiaoxi completely forgot that the suspicion of a monster on Chu Baichuan hadn't been 100% ruled out yet.

"Just, just..."

How could he know what the shop in the Shangguan Mansion sells?

"Forget it, forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask! Since the family runs a shop, why did you come to this place to pretend to be an old bachelor?"

Seeing that Chu Baichuan was a little embarrassed, Lin Xiaoxi quickly changed the subject.

"Xiaoxi, in fact, my family does not run a shop, but an official!"

Bearing the name of Shangguan Yifei was his last resort, but he couldn't cheat unscrupulously.

"Official?"

Lin Xiaoxi immediately frowned.

"Well, an official's family usually has several shops..."

Afraid that Lin Xiaoxi would feel that he had deliberately lied to her just now, Chu Baichuan quickly explained.

"Is it a big official?"

Asking this, Lin Xiaoxi was a little downcast in her words.

That's right, a family with a name like Shangguan Yifei should not be an ordinary rich family of country gentry.

"Well, the Chang'an Shangguan Mansion has been valued by the royal family for generations and has a certain influence..."

Chu Baichuan just summed it up briefly, but what he said was actually quite modest.

Chang'an Shangguan was known to almost everyone in Dachu, and its influence was only below that of the royal family.

That is to say, Lin Xiaoxi is not from here. People in the valley seldom talk about the government, so she has never heard of it.

"I am the eldest son of the third house of the Shangguan Mansion, and I am the fourth eldest among the men of the Shangguan Mansion. Ten years ago, I had to hide in this place because of something involving the royal family..."

Before she could ask again, Chu Baichuan took the initiative to talk about something more detailed.

"Little creek?"

After not seeing Lin Xiaoxi's snort for a long time, Chu Baichuan's eyes tightened, and he called him softly.

"Oh, it's okay, you continue to talk..."

Lin Xiaoxi forced a smile and said softly.

"I've already finished talking, Xiaoxi, don't let your imagination run wild. Although the Shangguan family is an official, the family discipline is very strict. From the ancestors, the descendants below are not allowed to take concubines, and they will not give away maids or anything like that. ..."

Chu Baichuan remembered Lin Xiaoxi's words about not sharing her husband with other women, and quickly explained.

"Oh? There is still this family rule? Have there been no exceptions for so many years?"

This explanation still caught Lin Xiaoxi's attention. She felt that if it was true what "Shangguan Yifei" said, then this Shangguan's mansion is really a strange thing among the wealthy and noble mansions.

"There are exceptions, but they have already been expelled from the Shangguan Mansion!"

Chu Baichuan remembered that Shangguan Yifei's second brother was expelled by Shangguan's mansion ten years ago because he raised a concubine outside without permission.

Lin Xiaoxi: ...

That being said, it's pretty strict.

Inexplicably felt more comfortable.

"Then it's been ten years, and the people from Shangguan's mansion haven't looked for you?"

Lin Xiaoxi didn't ask in detail why he hid here because of the royal family.

But with his status as the fourth son of the Shangguan Mansion, it's unlikely that no one cares about him.
