After Lin Feng's figure completely disappeared, Xia Yuanji finally called for Xia Qingyu.
"The Fourth Prince has sent a number of precious gifts this time. Here, this is for you," he said, presenting a gift box to Xia Qingyu.
With a smile on her face, Xia Qingyu gently accepted the gift and thanked Xia Yuanji before turning towards her bedroom.
Once inside, she joyfully opened a delicate little box, revealing a beautifully crafted hairpin resting inside. The pin appeared to be made of mutton-fat jade, warm and exquisite, radiating a soft glow.
At the top of the pin was an intricately designed silver flower, with petals layered like a blooming white lotus. Each petal was finely engraved with patterns, as if they would sway gently in the breeze, revealing the delicate stamen within.
Unable to resist, Xia Qingyu picked up the hairpin and slowly inserted it into her hair in front of the mirror. Instantly, her reflection appeared more lively and charming. She looked around with delight filling her heart.
This hairpin was not merely an accessory; it felt like a heartfelt message from the Fourth Prince to her. Thinking of this made her cheeks flush slightly.
At that moment, a gentle breeze wafted through the window, carrying a hint of floral fragrance, mirroring her sweet yet shy feelings.
Unbeknownst to Lin Feng, he returned to his residence in high spirits. Upon stepping through the door, he was surprised to find Lu Yong waiting for him.
"Uncle, when did you arrive?" Lin Feng asked with a look of delight as he approached.
Lu Yong smiled slightly in response. "I've been here for a while. Have you just returned from your father-in-law's house?"
Lin Feng nodded and replied, "Yes, after all, there’s just over a month left until the wedding; it’s only right to pay a visit."
The two chatted and laughed as they headed towards the study. Before long, they reached the door of the study where Lu Yong stepped in first and found a chair to sit comfortably.
He cleared his throat and spoke softly, "I will be leaving for Luocheng tomorrow. There are some matters I need to clarify with you before I go."
With that, he waved his hand to signal his left attendant to step back temporarily.
Once everyone had left, only Lu Yong, Lu An, and Lin Feng remained in the spacious study.
After a brief moment of silence, Lu Yong continued, "For this trip, I plan to leave Lu An here to assist you."
The young man was intelligent and skilled in strategizing, and it was believed he would undoubtedly become a valuable ally.
Lin Feng nodded without hesitation and replied, "That sounds excellent!"
Lu Yong gave a slight nod, indicating his satisfaction, and then asked, "Where are the few people I left for you earlier?"
Lin Feng quickly answered, "They are all waiting in the courtyard."
After a moment of thought, Lu Yong instructed, "Let them continue to stay at the residence to assist you and help with some of your affairs."
At this moment, Lin Feng showed a hint of reluctance and softly inquired, "Uncle, why must you leave so hastily tomorrow? Can't you stay a few more days?"
Lu Yong sighed helplessly and slowly explained, "Ah, it's difficult to go against the emperor's orders!"
After conversing for a while longer, Lu Yong stood up to bid farewell to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded in acknowledgment before turning to instruct Old Zhang to properly arrange for Lu An's accommodation.
From this point on, Lu An had officially become a guest of the residence. As a guest, he would not be working for free; he would receive a monthly stipend.
