There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 282 Willingness

Muqi: "Please give your orders, Miss."

Li Shuchen: "I need to see fifteen lambs and ten stoves first thing tomorrow morning. I need to buy the lambs and borrow the stoves. If you encounter any difficulties, let me know immediately, and I'll figure something out."

Muxi bowed and assured her, "Don't worry, Miss, Muxi will definitely do it."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen nodded and went upstairs, putting all the glass bottles on her dressing table into the mahogany cabinet, and also filling it with twenty catties of cumin powder and cumin seeds.

"Grape, hold this cumin for me."

"it is good"

Li Shuchen bent down, grabbed a nose ring from the side of a cabinet with each hand, hugged the mahogany cabinet, and then got up and went downstairs.

"Miss, please take your time."

Grape was scared watching from behind.

"nothing"

Li Shuchen carefully descended the stairs; she cared about these bottles more than anyone else and couldn't let them break.

The mahogany cabinet landed safely, and Grape's heart continued to beat steadily.

Li Shuchen clapped his hands, looked at the treasures scattered on the ground, and nodded in satisfaction: "Take all these things to Hundred Flowers Manor tomorrow, and everything will be fine."

The scene shifts to the morning of the fourteenth.

Li Shuchen was awakened by the sounds of "baa baa" and "hiss hiss".

She got up, put on her coat, grabbed a wooden stick, and with a flick of her wrist from the third-floor corridor, tossed the stick directly in front of Li Wanbai's horse's hooves.

Upon seeing the wooden stick, Li Wanbai immediately fell silent, took two steps back, and glanced at Li Shuchen with obvious resentment.

Li Shuchen put his hands on his hips: "Li Wanbai, if you glare at me again, I'll go down and beat you up!"

"Hiss~", so what if I glare at you?

"Hey, you, you just wait!"

Li Shuchen strode downstairs, stormed to the stables, picked up a wooden stick, and pointed it directly at Li Wanbai's nose.

Suddenly, Li Wanbai changed her demeanor, sobbing and taking two steps back. Her large eyes, misty and watery, cautiously and tentatively looked at Li Shuchen.

Li Shuchen was puzzled. What was wrong? Was he possessed?

Just as I was thinking this, I was suddenly nudged by something and forced to take two steps. After regaining my balance, I looked down...

"Red Shadow, what brings you here?"

The red figure remained silent, moving to block Li Wanbai's path, completely concealing her from view. Meanwhile, Li Wanbai secretly looked at Li Shuchen with a defiant expression.

Li Shuchen's temper flared up from nowhere; she was so pretentious. The moment Hongying appeared, she pretended to be innocent and virtuous—she was quite the character!

"Li Wanbai, if you have the guts, come out here! What kind of horse hides behind Hongying?"

Li Wanbai leaned against Hongying in a coy manner, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Hongying was heartbroken.

He immediately looked at his master.

Liang Yuying stepped forward and pulled Li Shuchen aside, saying, "Alright, Shuchen, there will be a time when Hongying is no longer around. You can teach Wanbai a lesson then."

Hongying was stunned upon hearing this. "Master, that's not how it is. You should have advised her not to hit or scold Wanbai."

Wan Bai was also stunned upon hearing this. "Hong Ying, it seems your master doesn't love you."

Only Li Shuchen was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Alright, let's do as Yuying says."

Liang Yuying smiled and asked, "Has Shu Chen eaten?"

"I just woke up and haven't washed up yet. Let someone move your things first; I'll be done in a bit. Grape, remember to bring a jar of honey."

After Li Shuchen finished speaking, he walked upstairs, with Liang Yuying following closely behind.

Grape and Purple Pearl directed the girls' actions

Li Shuchen quickly washed up and sat down at the table, shoveling a mouthful of rice into his mouth: "Did Yuying come so early for dinner?"

"I've already eaten. It's still early, so take your time eating. No rush."

Liang Yuying poured Li Shuchen a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Li Shuchen took the rice and drank a big gulp.

"knock knock"

"Who?"

"Pale Moon"

Li Shuchen got up to open the door, but Liang Yuying stopped him, saying, "You continue eating, I'll go open the door."

The door opened, and Dan Yue was stunned for a moment when she saw the handsome girl in front of her, then looked up at the plaque above the room.

"Three Treasures Hall"

She didn't go to the wrong place.

"come in"

Liang Yuying looked at the unfamiliar beauty in front of her and said calmly

Upon hearing the sound, Dan Yue suddenly felt a chill. Strangely, in the sweltering heat of July, she felt a bit cold.

Without thinking twice, I stepped into the house.

"Miss Li, we are all ready. When shall we depart?"

Li Shuchen swallowed the rice in his mouth: "Once everyone is here, we'll set off together."

"it is good"

As Dan Yue turned to leave, Liang Yuying, in a slightly better mood, asked, "Is she the painter from Bo Yu Kingdom?"

"Yes, the drawing is really good."

Li Shuchen finished replying and continued eating heartily.

"Shu Chen"

Gu Ziying and Ye Bingli entered the house one after the other.

Li Shuchen: "You're all here too. We're only one person short to complete the group."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuying frowned: "Who's missing?"

"Cheng Zhi'an"

Gu Ziying: "Why is Young Master Cheng going too?"

Ye Bingli saw through everything and remained silent.

Li Shuchen: "Besides transporting the porcelain, there's another important matter that requires his help."

Several people nodded upon hearing this.

"I'm finished eating. Let me pack my things, then we'll go downstairs."

"Good"*3

Li Shuchen quickly packed his bags and slung them over his shoulder... onto Yu Ying's back.

The group arrived at the first floor of the inn.

Li Shuchen: "Grape, has Young Master Cheng arrived yet?"

I arrived early.

Cheng Zhi'an jumped down from the carriage and walked step by step to Li Shuchen's side, smiling as he said, "Grape said you were having a meal, so I didn't ask her to tell you."

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"I'm willing."

Grape was laughing so hard her shoulders were shaking. Seeing this, Purple Pearl tugged at Grape and whispered, "What are you laughing at?"

"You do not understand"

Zizhu was baffled by what she heard.

Li Shuchen patted Grape, who was grinning mischievously, and asked, "Is everything packed?"

"It's installed."

"Was that jar of honey also packed?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it. Miss ordered me to do it, how could I not?"

"In that case, let's set off."

Li Shuchen waved her hand, and everyone returned to their places.

The vast, long procession then headed out of the city.

Hongying and Wanbai pulled a carriage together, with Li Shuchen and Liang Yuying sitting inside.

"Yuying, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liang Yuying turned her head to the side and said calmly, "It's nothing."

Li Shuchen turned Liang Yuying's head back: "You're not smiling anymore when something's wrong. You used to always be smiling when we were together."

Liang Yuying felt the warmth on her cheek, and after trying to hold back, she finally couldn't help but say, "Men and women are different. Shu Chen should be mindful of his distance when interacting with others."

Li Shuchen withdrew his hand and said calmly, "You mean Young Master Cheng? He and I are just friends, nothing more. Yuying, have you misunderstood?"

Liang Yuying: "Just friends?"

Li Shuchen: "Of course."

Liang Yuying frowned and asked, "Then why did he come along? My people could have easily transported the porcelain."

"I can't make big money without his help, so I asked him to come along."

Li Shuchen answered frankly, and Liang Yuying raised the corners of her mouth, then lowered her head and chuckled.

"Is Yuying worried that once I get married, I'll devote all my time and energy to my family and won't have time to play with you anymore? Is that why you're so concerned?"

Li Shuchen suddenly asked

Liang Yuying paused for three seconds upon hearing this, then nodded dejectedly.

"Yuying should know that I'm not someone who only gives to others; I care more about my own feelings. I know what I want, and I won't imprison myself. I will cherish the time I have with you friends and won't let you down."
