She refused to marry.

Feng Chenjun sat inside the carriage.

He kept an eye on the noisy sound of horses' hooves coming from behind.

"My lord, there is a caravan behind us, they are in a hurry. Should we pull over and let them pass, so that we can be spared the suffering of this yellow sand?"

"Hmm," Xiao Xuanjing replied softly.

The carriage made way, but the caravan behind it kept a distance of more than a hundred meters and did not move forward.

"My lord, I'll go take a look."

Jian Qingshan gripped the reins, spurred his horse, and turned it around. After traveling a hundred meters, he reined in his horse and stopped in front of the caravan.

"Shopkeeper, my master saw that you were in a hurry and made way for you. Please go ahead without worry."

"Brother Guard." A woman's voice came from inside the carriage.

Jian Qingshan was stunned for a moment. Where did he hear that voice before?

He immediately dismounted, walked to the carriage, and peered through the gap to see a familiar face. His expression turned surprised. "Miss Su... Miss Su the Second?"

Su Wanwan lifted the curtain. "Brother Guard, it's been a long time."

"Miss Su, what are you doing in Cangzhou?" Jian Qingshan hesitated and looked back.

The Lord will know this and will surely be angry.

"Naturally, it's to do what the Princess instructed." Su Wanwan winked playfully.

Jian Qingshan's alarm bells rang. He leaned out to look at the convoy behind him and pointed, "That's...?"

"These are things Princess Chang wanted," Su Wanwan said with a smile. "This is only a part; spreading them out will make it easier to travel..."

Jian Qingshan's face froze. "Miss Su, please wait a moment. Allow me to report to my master."

After Jian Qingshan finished speaking, he quickly mounted his horse, walked briskly to the front of the carriage, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to whisper, "My lord, the one behind is Miss Su, and the carriage is carrying copper ore."

"Nonsense!"

An angry voice came from inside the carriage.

Su Wanwan heard it even from a hundred meters away.

She leaned against the window, tapping triumphantly, "Well, we've met now..."

Lu Huai'an stepped forward, "Miss Wanwan, are you familiar with the person in front of you?"

"We're not close. His Majesty saved my life." Su Wanwan's expression turned cold. "But this time, he wanted my whole family dead. So once this escort mission is over, our Su family will have paid off our debt."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Lu Huai'an's eyes, but it disappeared instantly.

He also knew the people in the carriage.

Jian Qingshan rushed back, this time not on horseback, but almost sprinting.

"Miss Su, what are you doing here? Coming to the capital like this?"

"These are all things that Princess Chang wanted. Since Lord Fengchen is here, why don't we go back together?" Su Wanwan blinked.

Jian Qingshan sighed and sprinted back to his master's carriage. "My lord, Miss Su wants to go to the capital with you."

Xiao Xuanjing straightened up from the cushion, lifted the curtain, glanced at the convoy behind him, and looked intently.

"What is she pretending to be? Has she been investigated?"

In the distance, Su Wanwan stepped down from the carriage, waved to him, and looked smug.

"You've always been the ones making fun of me; today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be made fun of."

Lu Huai'an sat on horseback, watching Su Wanwan's actions, a series of questions swirling in his mind.

That's Fengchen Jun Xiao Xuanjing, and she actually dared to play tricks on him.

On second thought, who gave her the courage? Could it be that her identity has been discovered?

Before they could investigate further, the guards from before returned and headed straight for the caravan.

Su Wanwan followed, "Brother Guard, are we here to inspect the goods?"

Before she could speak, Jian Qingshan tore open a hole with his knife, revealing the copper ore.

Jian Qingshan's face was grim.

Lu Huai'an and Yuan Zijin also looked very unpleasant.

Isn't it sand and gravel?

When did it become a copper mine?!

Miss Su, is she perhaps a magician?

With Xiao Xuanjing ahead, it was impossible for them to rob the caravan.

"Miss Su, aren't you afraid of being punished?" Jian Qingshan sheathed his knife.

"It was precisely because I was afraid of being punished that I waited for the Lord to come so we could return to the capital together," Su Wanwan said awkwardly.

Jian Qingshan wiped the sweat from his face, scratched his head, and walked ahead. Suddenly, he felt he had a problem explaining himself. "Miss Su, let's go together."

Su Wanwan bowed and nodded slightly. "His Majesty said we should never see each other again, so it's best we don't. Guard, please feel free to ask if there's anything you need."

Jian Qingshan walked sullenly to the master's car. "Master, it's a copper mine."

Xiao Xuanjing's eyes darkened, then his face turned grim and ugly. "How dare the Su family act like this? It's simply unreasonable."

"My lord, what should we do now?" Jian Qingshan looked at the carriages behind him. People were coming and going, and anyone who paid attention would know that it was his lord's convoy.

"Go forth in a cloud boat to clear the way and ensure no one checks our records. Send someone to the capital quickly to process the paperwork, and this batch will be delivered to the national treasury," Xiao Xuanjing said.

"Yes!" Xie Yunzhou bowed.

"Besides her, are there any other elders from the Su family in the carriage?" Xiao Xuanjing lifted the curtain again.

"Only Miss Su and the convoy are present," Jian Qingshan said.

"Have her come over here," Xiao Xuanjing ordered.

Jian Qingshan looked troubled.

"What?" Xiao Xuanjing's face was gloomy.

"I just invited you. Miss Su remembered what the master said to her in Linqing, and she refuses to come now." Jian Qingshan didn't dare to look up.

"Let her be." Xiao Xuanjing lowered the curtain.

He tried his best to calm the anger in his heart.

The convoy continued on its way.

A hundred meters away, Lu Huai'an looked at Xiao Xuanjing's expression and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Wanwan asked.

"The people in the carriage seem very angry," Lu Huai'an said smugly as he rode his horse.

I've only seen Xiao Xuanjing with this expression once before, eight years ago, at the horse farm.

During the horse racing competition, General Xiao ordered him to lose to the Crown Prince. When he refused, General Xiao threatened him.

He lost the game against his will.

"It's good that he's angry." Su Wanwan rolled up the curtain, leaned against the window, and looked at the carriage in front of her.

Feng Chenjun is angry.

She's still angry.

Despite having been saved, the people from the Princess's residence wanted the entire Su family dead.

After a day's journey, by evening, the caravan was only an hour away from the capital.

Su Wanwan leisurely ate the snacks prepared by Lu Huai'an in the carriage.

She wanted to see how Xiao Fengchen would handle the situation.

The caravan followed him the whole way, and the people at the inn were all witnesses to it.

Upon reaching the city gate, the garrison commander quickly identified whose convoy it was.

I thought Feng Chenjun would stop ten miles away, but to my surprise, Xiao Xuanjing not only didn't stop, but actually sped up.

She didn't quite understand.

Could he have seen through her?! Impossible, she did it flawlessly, even Lu Huai'an didn't notice, let alone Feng Chenjun.

Finally, the carriage stopped at the city gate.

Xiao Xuanjing's carriage was stopped for inspection at the gate.

Su Wanwan thought Feng Chenjun would abandon her, but she saw Jian Qingshan gesturing towards her convoy.

A man carrying a spear walked over from the city gate, inspected the carriage thoroughly, and then returned with an unusual expression to report.

"My lord, the documents are incorrect. The caravan is carrying sand and gravel, not copper ore." The man at the city gate checked the documents.

Jian Qingshan looked incredulous. "Impossible. I checked it myself."

Xiao Xuanjing's expression changed instantly, and his hands clenched into fists.
