Chapter 150: Chapter 150: The Wife-Seeking Husband Is Busy, While the Star of Fortune Calmly Farms, Ending the Lineage Crisis 10

Su Zhiruan asked about the origin of the jade hairpin. This kind of hairpin couldn’t possibly be those street stall goods, but she also knew very well that Fu Huaichu had no money.

“I pawned the jade pendant I had on me,” Fu Huaichu admitted without concealing anything.

Jade pendant…

Suddenly, Su Zhiruan thought of the Coiling Dragon Jade Pendant she had taken from him and, at this moment, she also connected it to the original plot.

In the original plot, this jade pendant represented a very important turning point. The pendant was proof that he was the Crown Prince. His taking it to the county meant the Hidden Guard who were looking for him would trace the clues and find him here.

“Ruanruan?” Fu Huaichu saw her deeply engrossed in thought. He waved his hand to break her concentration, “Is there a problem?”

“No,” Su Zhiruan snapped out of it. She picked up her chopsticks again, “Let’s eat quickly, eat.”

The two had just gotten married yesterday, and it was a time to be sweet. Moreover, since she wore new clothes today and Fu Huaichu had even drawn her eyebrows, it didn’t seem fitting to go back to farming. So, they decided to go to the county to stroll around the street.

The journey wasn’t long, and soon, they arrived at the county.

“The street is so lively today!”

Looking around, the place was swarmed with people, almost shoulder to shoulder.

“Be careful,” Fu Huaichu saw her almost get separated by the crowd and quickly reached out his hand to intertwine his fingers with Su Zhiruan’s, “If we hold hands, we won’t get separated.”

Su Zhiruan moved closer to him, nodding her head.

The noise around them was overwhelming, and some gossip-savvy folks whispered among themselves.

“Hey hey hey, have you heard? Those Imperial Guards or something from the Capital City, it’s really the court sending people here. They’re supposed to be investigating a case, and there’s talk of a pursuit?”

“Oh, brother, you’re really out of the loop. If it were just a case, would they need so many people? My uncle’s mother-in-law’s relative’s daughter-in-law’s nanny mentioned a bit, seems like the court is here looking for someone. The county magistrate’s office might burst today, Prefects and high officials from the court are all here, no telling who they’re looking for?”

“Do you think they might be looking for the Emperor? Haven’t heard anything from His Majesty these days, could it be that His Majesty is visiting incognito and has been—?” the man paused to bow reverently as he mentioned the Emperor, “Or maybe the Crown Prince or the Third Prince? Haven’t heard of these royals stepping out recently.”

…

Upon hearing the last person’s words, Su Zhiruan instinctively looked at Fu Huaichu, who quickly felt her gaze upon him, and the grip on her hand tightened. He leaned over to ask her, “Ruanruan, what’s wrong?”

“I…” Su Zhiruan looked at Fu Huaichu. She couldn’t very well say that she found the current scenario absurd, so she made up an excuse, “I’m curious about what all these important figures actually look like.”

She glanced again at Fu Huaichu and could see their intertwined palms as she listened to the surrounding people discussing the Emperor, Empress, Crown Prince, and Third Prince. Su Zhiruan felt it was quite thrilling.

If only those people fervently discussing knew that the Crown Prince of the Wang Dynasty they spoke of was right there among them, holding hands with her, their expressions would surely be a sight to behold.

The crowd had gathered here, but it wasn’t long before a Deputy General emerged from the mansion and chased them away.

“Everyone—disperse the crowd, a few of you guard the main gate, don’t let anyone close, the rest follow me.” The Vice General quickly stabilized the scene and then led his men back.

“It seems there’s nothing interesting to see,” an elder beside Su Zhiruan said as he waved his hand and left the area.

“Let’s go too, find a restaurant to eat.” Huaichu and Su Zhiruan moved out of the crowd, by which time many people had already left, but those remaining wanted to see what the court officials looked like, so they lingered.

As Su Zhiruan wandered down the street, the street was bustling with people. Street vendors set up stalls displaying a dazzling array of jewelry and whimsical masks, the steaming heat from small steamed buns wafted through the air, the fragrance was overwhelming, with queues of people never ending. There were also sweets like candied haw and sugar figures, making the whole street extraordinarily lively.

The two didn’t squeeze through the crowded street with everyone else but headed to their pre-planned destination—Yuelai Restaurant.

This was the most famous and best-tasting restaurant in the entire county. After they entered, a waiter came up to them, “What would the two guests like to eat?”

“A few signature dishes will do,” Su Zhiruan pointed at five dishes under the signature dishes category on the bamboo menu, “Just these will be fine.”

“All right, guests,” the waiter looked energetic as he slung the towel off his shoulder and vigorously wiped the table and chairs. “Please sit first; I’ll prepare the tea.”

Just as the waiter served the tea, four men walked into the restaurant, talking as they entered. The waiter saw them and quickly went up to greet them.

“Four guests, what would you like to order?”

“Here’s the silver, just mix a few dishes for us,” the leading man found a spot, not far from Su Zhiruan and Huaichu, “Just make sure there’s wine.”

“All right!” After wiping the table, the waiter went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

At this moment, Su Zhiruan could clearly hear what these men were discussing.

“… By the way, what’s the Crown Prince’s name? Hiss, I remember isn’t it something Huaichu?”

“Shush, keep your voice down, we’re not at home,” another man cautiously looked around, signaling him to be quiet, “We must be careful with our words when we are out; the Crown Prince is not someone we can casually talk about.”

“Hey! What’s there to fear? The Crown Prince isn’t here, besides the waiter and that couple there, clearly, they aren’t either.” The third man didn’t care at all, and upon seeing Su Zhiruan looking over, he even cracked a smile.

Su Zhiruan: “…”

Generally, it’s true that such coincidences don’t happen in the world, but sometimes, fate is just inexplicable, like now, although there were only they, two, and the waiter present, Huaichu was indeed the Crown Prince they were speaking of.

Huaichu didn’t react; instead, he asked Su Zhiruan, “Shall we go buy some new clothes later?”

“Sure, I also need to buy some medicinal herbs; I forgot to purchase them last time, I definitely can’t forget this time.” Su Zhiruan forced herself to focus.

“It’s the first day we’re married, let’s take our time strolling and buy some stuff for our home,” Huaichu smiled and sterilized their bowls and chopsticks.

Behind them, the four men were still incessantly discussing the current Crown Prince.

“Big brother, I remember now, isn’t the Crown Prince named Huaichu? I think that’s the name,” the youngest among them suddenly said excitedly.
