Chapter 530: My husband is not only thick-skinned, but also very friendly
Different from the joyous atmosphere of the Shen Mansion tonight with red candles and spring night, the atmosphere in the Fourth Prince's Mansion is gloomy.
Xiao Yi stood in the study. Although the study in front of him looked the same as it was during the day, he could still find details of where things had been moved.
He was absolutely sure that someone had been to this study.
"What a good plan!"
A sneer escaped Xiao Yi's lips. He no longer had any of his previous romantic charm, and his eyes were cold.
"Your Highness, I am damned. I wonder if you have lost anything?" The leader of the secret guards who had appeared in the Shen Mansion before was now kneeling in front of Xiao Yi, with his head lowered, looking extremely nervous.
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.
Before the leader of the secret guards had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Xiao Yi speak again.
"But this doesn't mean that those who came tonight returned empty-handed."
This one sentence made the leader of the secret guards' heart rise to his throat again.
He understood what His Highness meant. Even if nothing was lost, there must be some things in His Highness' study that could not be seen by others, and the people who came might have discovered them.
Or maybe, even though nothing was lost, there might be some extra things in the mansion. No one could be sure for the moment!
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was careless. Please punish me!" The leader of the secret guards knelt on the ground, his voice very tense.
Xiao Yi glanced at the confidant in front of him and waved his hand, signaling him to stand up.
"You are not to blame for this. This prince was indeed careless. I never thought that the wedding invitation sent by Shen Yanxi was intended to lure the tiger away from the mountain. But..."
Xiao Yi didn't continue speaking, his heart heavy.
But why did Shen Yanxi do this?
Even if the Fourth Prince's Mansion was under-guarded tonight, it was not like Shen Yanxi's style to send people to sneak into the Prince's Mansion for no reason.
If it wasn't Shen Yanxi's purpose, then it must be Jiang Suining. Could it be that Jiang Suining was suspecting something about himself?
It stands to reason that it shouldn't.
Unless Jiang Suining and the others have mastered something else...
Xiao Yi stood there with his eyes narrowed, thinking quickly in his mind and guessing all the possibilities.
When he came to his senses again, he had already made up his mind.
"Take your men and search the entire mansion thoroughly to make sure there are no items that could harm this prince."
"Yes, I obey."
"Also, have that person come to see me."
Now that he has embarked on this path and all eyes are on him, he must not make any mistakes at this time.
……
The next day.
When Jiang Suining woke up, Shen Yanxi was looking at her sideways with joy in his eyes.
Seeing the person wake up, he stretched out his long arms, pulled the person into his arms and hugged him tighter.
"Miss."
The word "wife" was called in a very tender way, which made Jiang Suining think of last night, when Shen Yanxi did the same thing, leaning close to her ear and calling her "wife".
With his cheeks slightly hot, Jiang Suining reached out and pushed Shen Yanxi.
"What time is it? You should go visit your parents."
Shen Yanxi pecked Jiang Suining on the lips, "It's our parents, but don't worry, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
Jiang Suining turned his head to look at the sky coming through the window. He estimated that it was still early, so he did not rush to get up. He just lay in bed and did not continue to sleep.
"I remember now. I wanted to ask you last night if the arrangements at the Fourth Prince's Mansion were going smoothly."
But at that time, before he could ask the question, he was interrupted by Shen Yanxi.
"Ningning, you are thinking about another man so early in the morning." Shen Yanxi pretended to be dissatisfied and hugged Jiang Suining into his arms.
Jiang Suining reached out and pushed Shen Yanxi again, "Stop messing around, let's talk business. Tell me how you went last night."
"Good Ningning, how could I possibly know? After leaving the wedding banquet last night, I returned to the bridal chamber and have been with you ever since. But... the arrangements last night were not difficult, and nothing should go wrong, don't worry."
"That's good." Jiang Suining thought for a moment, "It's also thanks to Xiao Yi's recent cautiousness that he brings many people with him to protect him when he goes out. Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity."
"Xiao Yi may have discovered that someone has been to the mansion by now, and he will probably make new moves next."
Although Xiao Yi tried to win me over at first last night, he should have completely given up the idea after he realized the real purpose of the wedding invitation.
"It doesn't matter. Our bargaining chips will be there soon anyway." Jiang Suining said with a curled lip.
Shen Yanxi looked at Ningning and was silent for a moment, "Ningning, you have led me astray."
"what?"
"Today is our first wedding day, and you're already talking about another man so early in the morning, Ningning, don't you cherish what you got last night?"
Jiang Suining: "..."
"Shen Yanxi, you really gave me a new understanding of you."
Shen Yanxi smiled, leaned forward and kissed him, then asked, "What new knowledge?"
"I've re-recognized the thickness of your skin."
Shen Yanxi didn't feel awkward at all, instead he continued to move forward, "Ningning's new understanding is not enough, after all, my husband is not only thick-skinned, but also very kissable, why don't you give him a kiss and try it."
Jiang Suining: "..."
Half an hour later, Jiang Suining got up, washed and dressed, and went to visit Shen's father and Mrs. Meng with Shen Yanxi.
Father Shen and Mrs. Meng were already very satisfied with Jiang Suining as their daughter-in-law. Moreover, she was the apple of their son's eye, so they naturally would not make things difficult for her. Their words and attitudes were very friendly to her.
Shen Yanxi had already decided to move out after getting married, and he had already chosen a house not far from the Shen family.
Father Shen and Mrs. Meng had known about their son's decision for a long time. In addition, they knew from a young age that their son was independent-minded, liked to be alone, and lived in a separate courtyard most of the time when he was studying, so they did not object.
But since they had just gotten married, moving out immediately would easily cause gossip, so they finally decided to wait a month before officially moving into the house.
After hearing about Shen Yanxi's decision, Jiang Suining was worried that Shen's father and Mrs. Meng would be disappointed, but now he is relieved.
In a blink of an eye, three days later, I returned home.
Unlike the previous few mornings when he always hugged Jiang Suining tenderly and lingered in the morning, Shen Yanxi got up very early today. He first confirmed again that there were no omissions in the gifts he brought to the Jiang family, and then changed three or four sets of clothes in the morning, but he still felt unsatisfied.
Jiang Suining sat in front of the bronze mirror and put on her makeup. Looking at Shen Yanxi's struggling look as she kept changing her clothes, she finally couldn't help it.
"It's not the first time you meet my parents, so why are you so nervous?"
