Stinly cried in Sheng Huaixuan’s arms. “Stinky wants to wash too...”


Hearing Stinky’s call, Xiaobai ran over like ten thousand horses galloping, gesturing for Stinly to sit on its back.


Stinky wanted to slide down from Sheng Huaixuan’s arms, but Sheng Huaixuan pressed his head gently. ‘The water is cold. You’ll catch a cold.”


The current temperature was not suitable for being in the water.


Stinky’s big eyes were filled with grievance, and he had a pitiful expression on his face that was questioning why Xiaobai could enter the water.


Sheng Huaixuan smiled. ‘We’ll wash up later. The hot water will be ready soon.” Stinky tilted his head, his face as though saying, ‘you’re coaxing a child again’.


However, Sheng Huaixuan was not bluffing him. Soon, the huge bathtub was filled with hot water.


Then, he used the screen to cover up.


Stinly was thrown into a small bathtub. Xiaobai came out from the river and quietly slipped into the screen before jumping into Stinky’s bathtub. In an instant, water splashed everywhere, and the bathtub was overflowing.


The hot water opened all the pores on one’s body. Xiaobai placed its claws on


Stinky and placed its head on his shoulder. Its eyes were filled with satisfaction.


Not long after Sheng Huaixuan went out, he came in and saw a baby and a wolf soaking in the bathtub looking up at the sky. That was such a beautiful scene-


When Stinky saw Sheng Huaixuan enter, he even invited him warmly, “Daddy, let’s bubble together


Sheng Huaixuan did not want to wash with a child and a wolf. He gently rejected Stinky’s invitation and washed his hair that had not been washed for a few days.


Suddenly, Xiaobai tilted its head in front of Sheng Huaixuan and glanced at him sideways. Its face was filled with arrogance as if demanding him to wash it too.


Sheng Huaixuan smiled dotingly and rubbed its head. Stinly followed suit and spread the foam on Xiaobai’s head.


Chu Tianbao stood guard outside the screen. As Bai Wutong soaked in the bathtub, she sighed at how meticulous Sheng Huaixuan was.


In the open-air bathtub, the water temperature would soon decrease.


As Bai Wutong kept adding hot water from the RV s.p.a.ce, she leisurely washed her hair.


After washing up, she felt as if her entire body had become lighter. She felt extremely carefree.


From inside came the pattering sound of Bai Wutong putting on her clothes. Chu Tianbao walked into the screen and naturally took a towel. He skillfully wiped her dark hair.


Bai Wutong turned and smiled. “Go wash up. I can do it myself.’


Chu Tianbao shook his head. “There’s no hurry.’


Since he was so considerate, Bai Wutong returned a kiss. “Thank you, Tianbao.” The tempting beauty was right in front of him. Chu Tianbao’s eyes darkened as he suddenly grabbed her head and directly collected a special service fee.


By the time Bai Wutong’s hair was dry, most of the people had finished washing up by the river.


Bai Wutong urged Chu Tianbao to take a shower and waited outside the screen like what he did for her.


Beside the screen was the hidden river. As the two of them chatted, they looked at the clear water.


Realizing that there was quite a beautiful strawberry-shaped white stone in the water, he picked it up from the water.


When the white stone came out of the water, the stone surface became a little yellow, but it had a crystal clear texture, like a natural jade that had yet to be polished.


Bai Wutong raised the white stone under the sun and looked at it. It was extremely bright and looked very beautiful. She said happily to Chu Tianbao, “Tianbao, I picked up a good-looking stone.”


Chu Tianbao washed quickly. As soon as Bai Wutong finished speaking, he walked out of the screen with a towel.


Bai Wutong turned back. “How did you wash up so fast?”


She stood up and took the towel from him. She stuffed the stone into Chu Tianbao’s hand and asked him to sit in the chair as she dried his hair.


With her eyes, Bai Wutong gestured for Chu Tianbao to look at the stone. ‘Look, doesn’t it look good?”


Chu Tianbao rubbed the stone surface and suddenly said, “This seem to be


Hetian jade.”


Bai Wutong paused. “Hetian jade?”


She had thought it looked a little like jade.


Chu Tianbao nodded. “1 think so. I can show it to Brother Sheng later. He’s quite knowledgeable in this area.”


Bai Wutong’s eyes lit up. She remembered that Sheng Huaixuan had said that he was also in charge of the official jade mine excavation in the Yan Kingdom.


Chu Tianbao reached out and picked up another yellow pebble from the ground. He looked at it under the sunlight. Bai Wutong craned her neck and at a glance, she realized that the pebble also had a bright texture.


Chu Tianbao pondered for a moment. “This should also be Hetian Jade.”


Then they both looked at the riverbank. There were still many of these pebbles in the river.


Could it be that they were all Hetian Jade?


Before Chu Tianbao could dry his hair, someone in the crowd shouted excitedly, “Hetian jade!!!”


Then, everyone looked at Meng Ge.


Meng Ge jumped into the water excitedly and kept scooping up the pebbles.


He was dressed sloppily and did not look like someone who knew anything about jade at all. Everyone thought that he had gone crazy.


Sheng Huaixuan put Stinly down and picked up a pebble to scrutinise. He squatted down on the river bed to take a look and his eyes became serious. Before Lin Yue could ask if it was Hetian jade, he asked Lin Yue to keep an eye on Stinky and approached You Huaijie with the pebbles.


Sheng Huaixuan said, ‘Sir, these are Hetian jade.”


The jade mine was the private property of the royal family that was the most strictly regulated in the past dynasties. No one could gain control over it all.


The Southern Frontier had just been occupied not long ago, so this mineral vein might not have been discovered yet, or it might have been controlled by the Southern Frontier’s rebel army.


You Huaijie was the governor of the Southern Frontier. If he could obtain the right to excavate the mineral vein, he could supply jade to the royal family of Ling Kingdom. If they further processed the jade material, the profits would be unimaginable.


You Huaijie took the pebble from Sheng Huaixuan and nodded. “The entire river is filled with Hetian jade?”


Sheng Huaixuan said, ‘According to my observation, most of them are, and the jade quality is excellent.”


You Huaijie pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it. The other exiled imperial relatives also picked up a pebble following Meng Ge’s shout.


With one look, they were as excited as Meng Ge and immediately put the pebbles into their arms.


They came from rich families and were tired of traditional gambling. Stone gambling had become a common occurrence.


After a few times, they also learnt a little and could tell if these were Hetian Jade.


Unlike Meng Ge, they were not overly excited and did not shout. Instead, they were afraid of being discovered and quietly picked up the pebbles.


This strange behavior made the others wonder if the ordinary-looking cobblestones on the riverbank were jade.


It was better to believe it than not. Many commoners followed these former high-ranking officials and touched the beautiful pebbles in the river.


As more people touched the pebbles, the originally calm citizens also became anxious.


If it was really Hetian jade, wouldn’t they have suffered a huge loss?


Soon, most of the citizens surged into the river, each picking up more pebbles than the other.


The river became chaotic, and the water became turbid..
