Shen Mingcheng escaped.
He escaped without a trace, no one knew where he had gone, and no one cared.
Due to the decline of the Shen family, the imperial merchant also changed from the Shen family to the Su family, which made Su Linglong so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. The long-lost eyes full of money flashed in her eyes again.
The only thing that worried Huo Chenan was the Japanese Prince Jinyu.
After the Shen family fell into ruin, a team of Japanese people rushed to the Shen family and took away Prince Jinyu.
This was the news brought back by Deng Lingchong. Huo Chenan felt bad as early as after Shen Mingcheng escaped from Zizhuxuan. He secretly sent Deng Lingchong to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Prince Jinyu, and to eliminate the root of the problem when the time was right.
As a result, the thing that Huo Chenan was most worried about still happened.
If the Su family was not involved, it might be more beneficial for the people if Prince Jinyu was alive.
But what was unexpected was that Prince Jinyu actually hooked up with Shen Mingcheng, which put the Su family in danger. After all, the Japanese were ruthless and ruthless, and it was unknown how they would retaliate against the Su family.
However, Huo Chenan did not tell the eldest lady and the little girl about this.
At this time, everyone was still immersed in the joy of defeating the Shen family, and there was no need to spoil everyone's fun at this time.
"Brother Chenan, you have been in Hangzhou for so long and you haven't accompanied me to play."
Huo Chenan nodded ashamedly. In addition to the affairs of the Shen family these days, he accompanied Hongxiu to practice double cultivation, but he spent less time with Linglong and the little girl.
However, the eldest lady and the little girl had no complaints. They thought Huo Chenan had been busy dealing with the Shen family.
Su Linglong said beside her: "Let's just go and have fun today!"
"Great!" The little girl jumped up happily.
So Huo Chenan, the eldest lady, the second lady, Chu Xiaomei, Deng Lingchong, Zhang San and a group of maids went out in a mighty manner.
As a result, she happened to run into Lu Yingying.
After being hit by the blow when she delivered medicine to Huo Chenan that day, Lu Yingying was not discouraged. She still came to see her hero Huo every day. As a result, after seeing Huo Chenan's methods of dealing with the Shen family, she became more determined to marry Huo Chenan.
That's right, marry him. King Pinghai only has her daughter. How can he inherit the family business without recruiting a son-in-law?
"Miss Lu, what a coincidence." Su Linglong greeted Lu Yingying. Su Linglong had some good feelings and some hostility towards this generous Miss Lu.
The good feelings were because she left all the medicines in the cart. Su Linglong said at the time that Huo Chenan didn't know how to live. He was a bastard who didn't take advantage of the opportunity. Don't miss it.
The hostility was that Su Linglong felt that this unbelievably beautiful girl seemed to be interested in her husband.
"Where are you going, Miss Su?" Lu Yingying asked.
"We are going to go out for fun." Su Linglong said.
"Really? Then I'll be your guide. I'm familiar with Hangzhou." Lu Yingying volunteered.
"No, I'd better not trouble Miss Lu." Su Linglong declined tactfully.
"No trouble. I have nothing to do anyway." Lu Yingying jumped into the carriage, not paying any attention to the rejection in Su Linglong's words.
Su Linglong was speechless.
So Huo Chenan began his "happy journey" with four girls.
The first stop for everyone was the West Lake, the most famous scenic spot in Hangzhou.
The West Lake in June was rippling with blue waves and willows.
Lu Yingying suggested: "Why don't we rent a boat and go boating on the lake?"
Huo Chenan hurriedly stopped her and said: "No!"
"Why not?" Everyone looked at Huo Chenan in confusion.
Huo Chenan was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. He couldn't say that he was in Mercury retrograde.
When Huo Chenan was about to fold, he suddenly saw the broken bridge in the distance. He suddenly had an idea and said, "Let's find a place first. I will explain this to everyone slowly." So everyone found a tavern and sat down. Everyone was waiting for Huo Chenan's explanation with surprise. Huo Chenan took a sip of tea slowly, cleared his throat and said, "It is said that 1,500 years ago, a boy went up the mountain to collect herbs." Lu Yingying suddenly asked, "How do you know about things that happened 1,500 years ago?" "Legends, do you understand folk legends?" Huo Chenan replied unhappily. "Oh! Sister Lu, don't interrupt. Brother Chenan is the best at telling stories." The little girl also complained. Lu Yingying apologized, and Huo Chenan continued to tell the story: "When the boy was collecting herbs, he saw a crane and a white snake fighting. The white snake was snow-white and looked like a beautiful jade. It was about to be swallowed by the crane. The boy hurried forward, dispersed the crane, and saved the white snake. The white snake was grateful for the boy's life-saving grace, and practiced for a thousand years to transform into a human form. Her name was Bai Suzhen. She also had a sister who was a green snake. She practiced for five hundred years and her name was Xiaoqing." "Snake demon?" Lu Yingying was shocked when she heard it. Everyone looked at her with dissatisfaction. Lu Yingying, who knew she had said something wrong, quickly covered her mouth and continued to listen to the story. So Huo Chenan told everyone the story of the Legend of the White Snake. From borrowing an umbrella while boating on the lake, falling in love on the broken bridge, to the Dragon Boat Festival realgar wine, stealing Ganoderma lucidum from the fairy mountain, flooding Jinshan Temple, and finally being suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda. Huo Chenan told the story of the Legend of the White Snake with ups and downs and every detail was well-written. Of course, Huo Chenan did not tell the story of saving his mother later. He felt that a good story should leave some room for imagination.
After the story was told, everyone was immersed in it.
Huo Chenan looked up and was startled.
Except for the people at their table, everyone in the tavern gathered around them to listen to Huo Chenan's story.
