Chapter 225 Interesting facts
She sobered up a lot for a while, looked up at the person standing in front of her, her thoughts flew away, and was finally pulled back by Ling Yan snapping her fingers.

Ling Yan thought she was sleepy, and said, "Take a nap, I'll have someone make some ice bowls, and eat them when you wake up."

Su Yin didn't explain, she got up and yawned, "Thank you Your Highness, I'll go back to the side hall first."

There is a soft couch in the study, and Ling Yan once mentioned that she can rest here directly when she is tired, but Su Yin is not used to it after all, and she has to go back even if her upper and lower eyelids are fighting.

Ling Yan was not in a hurry to force her, like a cunning fox, step by step to draw the ground into prison.

In the sweltering summer, people are greedy for coolness, hiding in the house and unwilling to go out, only the endless chirping of cicadas on the trees, piercing the scorching sky and reaching the ears, making people feel restless for no reason.

Ling Qi sat in the main room, playing chess by himself, holding white pieces in his left hand and black pieces in his right.

Several chess pieces fell one after another, but the sound of cicadas outside did not stop.

He pressed his brows rather irritably, and said to the maid who was playing the fan, "It sounds uncomfortable to have someone stick all the cicadas off the tree."

"Yes."

The maid immediately put down her fan and went to call for someone.

Su Wang's mansion also used ice cubes early, and the main room was still cool.

Ling Qi waited for the sound of cicadas to fall outside, then took the chess basket again, ready to continue.

There was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of clothes rubbing, from far to near, and soon entered the main room.

"I'm so hot, huh—it's still cooler here, my lord."

Jiang Muchen was wearing a light gown, sweating profusely, and the black hair on the side of his face was also wet, sticking to his ears.

Holding a copper basin filled with ice cubes, he wished he could bury his head in it.

Ling Qi turned around and looked at him, frowning slightly, "Didn't you go to Jiangnan some time ago, when did you come back?"

The Jiang family's business is very big, and the area in the south of the Yangtze River is very prosperous. It can almost be said that it is a place where merchants gather, and money is poured into the account every day.

A few days ago, there was a problem with the business over there, and Jiang Muchen went to deal with it in person, and it took almost two months.

He curled his lips, "I just arrived in the capital, and when I went back to the mansion, I saw that Jiang Mingyuan's feigned Chenghuan was very uncomfortable, so I simply ran to the prince to hide."

Ling Qi had always known that the two brothers of the Jiang family were at odds, so he didn't say much. He pointed to the copper pot on the table, "It contains rock sugar and pear water. It was boiled in the morning, and it has cooled down now."

"It's still better for the prince."

Jiang Muchen was not polite to him, poured a bowl, and felt cooler after gurgling.

Turning around to see Ling Qi playing chess with himself, he sat down opposite him, "It's so boring to play chess alone, I'll spend time with the prince."

Ling Qi gave Bai Zi to him, and both of them were silent, thinking seriously.

It wasn't until the situation on the chessboard became clear that Ling Qi asked, "Did you encounter any interesting things when you went to Jiangnan this time?"

Jiang Muchen watched his chess pieces being eaten, and puffed his face, "I didn't meet the interesting thing, but I got a piece of news. Is the prince interested?"

"Say."

"After the Lu family moved out of the capital, they started doing business. This time I went to Jiangnan, and found that the Lu family's business is quite big. There are two shops in Jiangnan."

The Lu family he mentioned was the natal family of the noble concubine, and also the grandfather's family of the crown prince.

After Jiang Muchen finished speaking, seeing that Ling Qi didn't respond, he raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that the prince already knew?"

"A few days earlier than you."

Ling Qi's subordinates were merciless, and he dropped the last one, "You lost."
