Lu Yinghuai peered inside and saw several wooden planks lying across the box. Using wooden planks to raise bees was quite unusual.

"Can I see the royal jelly?"

Yun Ruoxia bit her lower lip. The bees were so agitated that they had already entangled her hands. She was afraid that she would be stung if she wasn't careful, so she had to decline, saying, "The larvae were released yesterday. We won't have royal jelly for three days."

"Release the larvae?" Lu Yinghuai quickly caught the key word.

"Yes, put the larvae into the wax bowl, then apply some honey water, and they'll be ready in three days." Yun Ruoxia carefully remembered the steps Yun Ling had taken, afraid of saying something wrong and arousing suspicion.

Wax bowls, larvae—Lu Yinghuai had only ever seen royal jelly extracted from natural queen cells in other bee farms, yet she had it in just three days. Could it be…?

"Is this an artificial queen cell, using larvae to attract the bee colony to release royal jelly?"

Yun Ruoxia figured out that was the idea, so she nodded and put the wooden lid down. However, because she was afraid of hurting the noisy bees and couldn't find the right touch, she was a little clumsy when she put it down.

This one action immediately led Lu Yinghuai to conclude that Yun Ruoxia was not a real beekeeper, thus dispelling his desire to continue asking questions and avoid putting her in a difficult position.

According to his guess, the reason why Yun Ruoxia was sent to demonstrate was firstly because they had met many times and were quite familiar with each other, and secondly because she was the second person in the family who frequently came into contact with bee colonies. The reason why the person who truly understood beekeeping did not appear was probably because she was too young and they were afraid that the family would not trust her.

The only ones younger than Yun Ruoxia are Hua Ge'er's two daughters. The eldest daughter looks quiet and doesn't seem like the type to cause trouble, while the younger daughter often goes into the mountains and must have a lot of clever ideas. She must be the one who keeps bees!

Oh my god, he really, really wanted to catch her!

What Lu Yinghuai saw, Cao Shu naturally saw as well, but he didn't think much of it. As the young mistress of the Lu family, she didn't need to do anything herself. As long as she knew how to do business, how to do accounts, and how to order people around, that was excellent.

"Second Aunt, what do you think of that agreement?"

Yun Ruoxia knew from Lu Yinghuai's tone that other beekeepers would have difficulty supplying large quantities of royal jelly, so they had an advantage, and naturally she relayed Yun Ling's words.

What do you think?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yinghuai knew it was the little guy who said it. Only a true beekeeper can control the amount of royal jelly and know how to stimulate the bee colony to produce honey and royal jelly. It seems he still has a temper. I wonder if he's still fierce now that he's clenching his fist.

A smile spread across Lu Yinghuai's face as he nodded and replied, "Okay, we'll divide the quantities into three tiers, with the rewards increasing accordingly. You can come to the trading company tomorrow to sign the agreement when you have some free time, and we'll discuss the price then."

Lu Yinghuai still wanted to catch someone and didn't want to finish his sentence, so he planned to lure Ling into a trap.

Uncle Cao's mouth was almost agape. They were always the ones who dared to say one thing and no one else dared to say another. Now, not only did others say another, but he, the young master, was also taking advantage of the situation. Indeed, love can make people blind.

"good."

After the discussion, as the sun was about to set, Zhang decided to cook and asked Lu Yinghuai and Uncle Cao if they wanted to dine together.

Lu Yinghuai stammered, his gaze constantly drifting towards the mountains; the person hadn't returned yet.

Uncle Cao grabbed the man and whispered a reminder: "Young master, have some shame."

Where is he shameless?

If we wait for him, he...he...he...

Yunling didn't mean to not reply; it's just that she and Yun Ruochun encountered some trouble, and it was a big problem.

They encountered an injured man!

"Ling'er, he's so badly injured, let's take him down the mountain and get a doctor to check on him."

“Auntie, you can’t just pick up any man you find on the street. At best, he’ll be a heartless ingrate; at worst, he’ll be a prince or general. Then there will be love and hate dramas, amnesia, running away with a baby, and dragging the whole family into the power struggles. When will there be any peace? I’d rather be an ordinary farmer.”

When she was in the basement, she often peeked at the novels of the old lady next door. The old lady loved reading them and would turn up the font to a very large size. When she got tired of reading, she would switch to audiobook mode. To be fair, the old lady read with a lot of emotion and enthusiasm.

After Yunling said that, Yun Ruochun put away her pity and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Yunling rubbed her chin, then thought of a good idea. "Aunt, let's take all the money from him and do good deeds for him. Maybe Heaven will take pity on him and let him wake up."

"That makes sense."

Yun Ruochun acted immediately, taking his money pouch without hesitation. "Sister Ling, his clothes are made of good material, probably worth a few copper coins. Hey, and his shoes too, Xiaobai loves to bite shoes."

Isn't it a bit too fast for her to graduate?

After reaping a bountiful harvest, Yun Ruochun felt a pang of pity. "Ling'er, are you sure there won't be any problems? What if we encounter wild beasts? Won't he become their prey?"

"If he really encounters a wild beast, I will silently pray for him."

Yunling is not a compassionate philanthropist. She takes good care of herself and her loving family. What do other people have to do with her?

Isn't it said that fate is determined by heaven? Since he has suffered this calamity, whether he lives or dies is up to heaven, so why should she waste her time?

As the sun set, the two ran home and saw a carriage gradually disappearing into the distance. Yunling stared at it for a while, thinking that she would buy such a unique carriage herself in the future.

Inside the carriage, Lu Yinghuai seemed to hear hurried footsteps. He hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked back, only catching a glimpse of a figure. Although he couldn't make out the person's features or build, he had a feeling it was the little guy returning.

"Uncle, I think I've forgotten something. Let the car turn around and go back to the Yun family."

“You didn’t bring anything in with you. Did you forget anything? If you really forgot something, your second aunt will bring it to you tomorrow.”

Uncle Cao couldn't let this brat act impulsively and rudely again. If he left a bad impression, it would cause a lot of trouble when he came to propose marriage in the future.

Lu Yinghuai knew he couldn't fool Uncle Cao, so he leaned out halfway to look behind him until the house got farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, until it was no longer visible after a turn, before he stopped thinking about it.

After it got completely dark, Yun Shenghua returned from the city. Everyone had been waiting at the gate because they were worried that something had happened to him. They were relieved to see that he had returned safely.

Yun Shenghua jumped excitedly off the car, walked around to the back of the car and said, "Today, the boss went fishing at the mountain resort with the boss of the Lu family business. They came back with a full basket. Everyone got some, and the rest was all mine."

Yun Shenghua lifted the curtain, his smile vanished instantly, his face paled, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Where's my fish?"
