Chapter 145
"How would this servant dare to?" Su Xi-er replied deferentially .

"You better not . . . " Pei Qianhao didn't continue, but the meaningful look in his eyes made the implication in his words clear .
Recalling the times they had been together, Pei Qianhao knew that Su Xi-er was a unique woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind, and who wasn't timid and scared like other maidservants . Although I can read many other people easily, she is the only one who I can't see through at a glance .
The horse carriage travelled for a long while before finally stopping at a place called 'Zhao's Flower Shop' .
Pei Qianhao had just dismounted the carriage when he turned around to help Su Xi-er off as well .
However, Su Xi-er didn't see it . Instead, she lifted up the carriage curtain before nimbly jumping off on her own .

Pei Qianhao's face darkened as he retracted his extended hand without another word . Turning his attention to the flower shop, he could vaguely see flowers peeking their heads out like shy little beauties .
The imperial guard beside them noticed the air around them was strange, but Su Xi-er's face remained unruffled .
When Uncle Zhao, the shop owner, saw that n . o . ble guests had arrived, he immediately came out of his room and grinned to welcome them . "Hey, dear customers, are you here to look at the flowers? My small shop has all different types of flowers that are all blooming, and extremely beautiful . "
Pei Qianhao looked at Su Xi-er and said with a deep voice . "Let's go inside and take a look . "
Before he stepped forward, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in front of them . An imperial guard from the Prince Hao Residence arrived on a horse with a solemn expression . Quickly dismounting, he handed a letter to Prince Hao and whispered, "Your Highness, a letter from Commander Wu . "

Pei Qianhao took the letter, glanced at Su Xi-er, and instructed, "Go in first, this Prince will be there soon . "
"Oh . " Su Xi-er didn't stay, and followed Uncle Zhao into the shop .
Although Uncle Zhao had never left Moon County, he could still tell that the person in front of him was a n . o . ble . Just looking at that man's disposition, he could tell that he was either a rich man or a n . o . bleman from a big place like the capital city .
Adding on to that, the young lady next to him was beautiful and wearing expensive clothes . It isn't hard to tell that this couple is extraordinary .
Noting this, Uncle Zhao didn't dare to be careless, and carefully answered to these n . o . ble guests .

"Miss, there are all types of flowers in this little shop . What type of flower do you need? This humble one can take you over to have a look . "
Su Xi-er waved her hand . "No need . I am just looking around until the Young Master from my household comes in . "
"Oh, good good . " Despite him saying that however, Uncle Zhao still didn't dare to be careless, and carefully served her . He followed two steps behind her and explained things here and there .
Outside, Pei Qianhao held the letter from Wu Ling in his hands . The entire thing was filled with Wu Ling's writings about each crime that Pei Yong had committed . Even one of these crimes was already enough to condemn Pei Yong to a terrible death!
His face became dark and cold . He looked at the imperial guard next to him and instructed, "You, take this Prince's verbal edict and go to the small county past the border . Meet with Wu Ling and return to the capital of Beimin to capture Pei Yong!"
The imperial guard hastily nodded . "Yes . "
Pei Qianhao only turned around and entered the flower shop when the guard was far away .
Su Xi-er was just browsing casually and didn't see him walking in from the outside .
She had just walked in front of a cl . u . s . ter of Magnolia Coco, looking like a placid young lady as she stared at their pure white petals .
