Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Xu Yingjun was taken back to Prince An's Mansion and confined.

It wasn't a big deal.

But after discussing with Li Chen about the waterway for a few days, Xia Bai'an accidentally learned about it from Li Chen's attendants.

At that time, Li Chen left the dinner halfway, saying that he was going to meet an old friend and leave the dinner temporarily.

The attendant talked badly, and Qian Mingshu heard some gossip in the corridor, Qian Mingshu turned back and sat down at the table.

"This Li Chen is also a weird person. Didn't everyone say that he likes Princess An before? Why did he ground him even after the fifth prince's wedding a few days ago?"

"Who knows."

Xia Bai'an was even more bewildered, and pulled Qian Mingshu over, "However, Li Chen's waterway is generous. You should know these wharfs before you transport goods, and see if there is any problem."

Qian Mingshu read it carefully and was silent for a while.

Xia Bai'an asked, "Is there a problem?"

Qian Mingshu touched his chin, not knowing how to answer.

Naturally, all the docks were correct, and they were indeed given important docks. In terms of business, the other party did not cheat at all.

But... These piers are heavily guarded, and they are not allowed to dock at will without the royal family's official documents.

Such an important pier, did Li Chen give it to Xia Bai'an?

That's the problem!

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Xia Bai'an thought there was some question, so he immediately decided to go back to investigate with Mo Che at night.

Qian Mingshu couldn't tell what Li Chen had in mind for Xia Bai'an... He grounded his favorite princess, but went to the restaurant with Xia Bai'an every day to discuss business, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Li Chen did not return for a long time, Xia Bai'an left first.

Go back to Mofu.

Xia Bai'an told Mo Che everything about the docks, and Mo Che frowned, then glanced at Qian Mingshu lightly.

Qian Mingshu hurriedly said: "This is the way given by the prince, not my suggestion!"

Only then did Mo Che look away.

Xia Bai'an tilted his head: "Have you all seen the problem? King An is not trying to trick me, is it?"

"No, this road is very good." Mo Che shook his head, and pulled Xia Bai'an to sit down, "Just accept it."

"Then you all frowned just now..."

"I'm just jealous that Wang An is rich and powerful, and he is willing to give it to the dock." Qian Mingshu quickly found an excuse.

Mo Che's eyelids twitched, and he nodded in admission.

envy?

Xia Bai'an didn't understand, but just thought it was funny: "There's nothing to be jealous about, he has great power, we ordinary people can't compare to it."

After speaking, she went to sort out the plan on her own.

When there were only two men in the room, Mo Che asked, "King An, I'm willing."

"When I saw these piers, I was indeed shocked. I also heard that King An grounded Princess An, and that he came out to see Xia Bai'an every day. While talking, he kept staring at Xia Bai'an. I always felt that the visitor was not kind. .”

Qian Mingshu also hurriedly answered the call - Hurry up and protect your wife!

Mo Che's expression changed, but he didn't say anything in the end.

If it is for Xia Bai'an's safety, it is a good thing to have a thoughtful person like Li Chen who is in a high position to protect her.

It was because of his selfishness, Xia Bai'an was so missed by others, he couldn't help but wanted to implement the plan early.

He looked at Qian Mingshu.

"Your Martial Arts Escort Bureau, I'll find a few people to help you. Those relatives of the Qian family are helping, as well as those from Uncle Bai's veins. There's no need to use them."

Qian Mingshu was surprised: "Master, this is..."

Mo Che said indifferently, "It's time to make plans early, but when you pass these few piers, you must let Tie Zhu and Ergou watch closely. If there is anything, come to me at any time."

Qian Mingshu was ashamed: "Master, isn't it a little too risky to do this, the people on your side are being..."

Mo Che responded, "It's just dark under the lamp."

Only then did Qian Mingshu remain silent.

It seems that Master still wants to send Hong Yao's people to the capital to hide some of them.

It is bold.

Naturally, Xia Bai'an had no way of knowing these things.

As usual, she stabilized her shop, while teaching the people in Zhang Qianqian's Chizhuang to sort out the things to improve the land, and sent them to the fief of Prince An's mansion to check the soil at any time, and then sent some seeds.

In the afternoon, she and Li Chen naturally finalized the matter of the waterway.

"Since that's the case, let's settle this matter according to the contract." Xia Bai'an handed over the contract that he had written, "I will improve the soil for the lord's Fengdi and research better-growing straw seeds, and the lord will give me the waterway. The empress dowager is at ease, you and I will go to the palace tomorrow and settle this matter in front of the empress dowager, how about it?"

"nature."

Li Chen responded naturally, and personally sent the two of them out of the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, there was a lot of traffic. Xia Bai'an had just taken two steps with his things in his arms, when a gangster suddenly rushed out from the sideways, "Bring me the money!"

Xia Bai'an was startled, and was about to hide when someone gently grabbed his arm.

The next moment, Kang Heng had already flashed out from beside Li Chen, knocked off the iron piece in the little gangster's hand with one hand, and threw him to the ground with the other hand.

And Xia Bai'an staggered a few steps in a daze, and suddenly felt something hit his back.

She was startled, looked back, and quickly walked out of Li Chen's arms, her face full of shock.

Good guy!So it turned out that the person who pulled her just now was not Qian Mingshu but Li Chen!

Li Chen felt the remaining temperature on his fingertips, and without any joy on his face, he said softly, "Is Mrs. Captain okay?"

"Fortunately, I was just taken aback."

Xia Bai'an patted his heart, and took a step towards Qian Mingshu's side.

Qian Mingshu also hurried forward to stop her: "Thank you, my lord, a lot of beggars and refugees have come to the capital recently, and they are in chaos. I'd better send her back first, and my lord should also pay attention to safety."

After speaking, Qian Mingshu hurriedly took Xia Bai'an back.

Li Chen raised his eyebrows, Kang Heng over there was dealing with the gangsters, and came over: "Qian Mingshu, I'm always on guard against you."

"He is Mo Che's dog, of course he has to work for Mo Che."

Li Chen touched the place where Xia Bai'an touched him just now, his gaze sank slightly, "Xia Bai'an seems to have a faint fragrance."

Kang Heng asked: "Women mostly smell like makeup."

Li Chen shook his head: "It's not the smell of vulgar powder, it's... the smell of soil and wild flowers, and some bitter medicinal smell."

Novel taste, interesting people.

It was rare to see her panic like this on a casino boat before.

Why did she panic like a rabbit just falling into her arms?

Kind of cute.

Li Chen hooked the corners of his lips, and was about to turn around to leave, but felt a scorching gaze coming from behind. He followed the feeling and turned his head, only to see a corner of his clothes flashing by at the entrance of the alley—like the one from the Forbidden Army Garden. clothing.

"My lord?" Kang Heng then stopped.

Li Chen hooked the corners of his lips: "It's okay. It's just that some people don't like it."
