Of course, the most important person in this group is Huo Mingchen.

He was responsible for explaining and handling everything, from the origin of the medicinal herbs to the destination of the gold and silver jewelry, and completed all the arrangements in just one day.

Huo Mingchen not only didn't ask any questions about this series of events, but also provided her with perfect cover, which made Cheng Shanshan feel uncomfortable.

That evening, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Huo, don't you have any questions?" For example, about the origin of the medicinal herbs, or the whereabouts of the gold and silver.

At that moment, Huo Mingchen was writing with a pen at the table. Without even raising his eyebrows, he replied, "Asking is just an excuse you're making. You might as well not ask."

"..."

That's absolutely right.

She did come up with a few excuses and reasons.

Since she wasn't asking, she naturally had no reason to remind her again.

So she made up an excuse and went back to the room that Bai Shi and Aunt Dong had just cleaned. Now it was no longer as messy as before, and there were even red quilts on the bed.

Wait, why is it red?

The striking color brought her back to her senses, and she noticed that not only were the bedding red, but there were also dragon and phoenix candles lit in the room, and even red silk ribbons hanging in the air!

Seeing Cheng Shanshan's surprised look, Bai smiled broadly and said, "Shanshan, do you like it?" Then she began to point to the items and introduce them: "I made these bedding overnight. I put ten catties of cotton in them, so they are absolutely soft and warm. I also made these silk flowers one by one. Oh, and the ugliest one was made by Aunt Dong."

"She's too clumsy with her hands, she just can't learn no matter how hard she tries, her mother has been teaching her for so long!"

"By the way, when you go to bed, be careful. I've put a layer of dates on the bed for good luck, just for the sake of having a son. Remember to take them away when you go to bed."

"Mom, you... are amazing."

Cheng Shanshan originally wanted to tell her not to misunderstand.

But she realized that she hadn't seen Bai Shi smile in a long time. In the past few days, she had been busy with her and Huo Mingchen's affairs, and she seemed to have become a different person.

It seems like a misunderstanding is a good thing, isn't it?

Cheng Shanshan glanced around: "It's very well arranged."

"Really? You like it?"

Bai was initially apprehensive, but suddenly became extremely happy.

Only after she left did Cheng Shanshan silently blow out the candles and pick up the dates on the bed that symbolized fertility and put them into a plate.

I wish these peaceful days could last a little longer.

Thinking this, she slowly closed her eyes and entered the space, beginning to count the twenty large boxes that had been brought in, one by one.

She had expected a lot, but she never imagined it would be so ridiculously large.

There are three chests containing 20,000 taels of gold, two chests containing 10,000 taels of silver, and ten chests containing various pearl and coral ornaments, as well as jade, porcelain, and calligraphy and paintings by famous people.

After placing them one by one in the corner of the space, I was surprised to hear a "ding" sound, followed by a message: Congratulations.

Once the accumulated amount of money reaches a certain threshold, you will receive a key to a new room.

When Cheng Shanshan saw the key, she was absolutely incredulous.

You know, she had tried all sorts of methods before, but she could never unlock the next item. She never expected that it could be unlocked simply by using gold and silver.

But before she could even be happy, she discovered that the original fifteen large chests had also disappeared. That was a bit too much!

She wanted to use the money to make ends meet in the future!

It was taken away in the blink of an eye, so... wouldn't she become a "poor person" without money again?

At this moment, Cheng Shanshan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so she could only take the key and open the door to a new room.

As the door opened, another medicinal herb field appeared before them.

The method of use is basically the same as last time. A batch of herb seedlings has already grown on it. She carefully counted them. The land here is larger than before, and it is estimated to be equivalent to the amount she traded with Huo Mingchen during the day.

So, she basically... did all her efforts go to waste?

No, no, that's not right.

She still has five boxes!

Those five boxes were full of gold and silver jewelry, enough to ensure she would live a life of comfort for the rest of her days.

When the first box was opened, a light flashed out, revealing ten luminous pearls inside.

It was about the size of her fist and gleamed brightly in the dimly lit box.

She picked one up and examined it: "Not bad, this can be used as a light at night, which can save a lot of money on candles."

After putting it back, she looked at the remaining four large boxes.

Can……

The first one is a book.

The second one is still a book.

The third and fourth were also books, as expected.

Looking at the four heavy, dirty boxes of books, it was completely unexpected for her.

After all, her original plan was to buy gold and silver jewelry, which might come in handy. She didn't want to have to sell anything else she bought.

Unfortunately, the space was playing tricks on her, hoarding her gold and silver and giving her a medicinal herb field in return.

Although I feel great about having another piece of land, I don't know why I have this feeling that I've lost a lot of money.

As Cheng Shanshan pondered, she picked up one of the books and read it carefully for a while. Suddenly, she beamed with joy, thinking to herself, "I've struck gold!"

The four boxes of books were all left over from ancient times, containing methods of alchemy, treatments for difficult and complicated diseases, and various prescriptions, all of which were very useful.

It contains everything imaginable, from large-scale construction and engineering to small details like cooking methods, and even various myths, legends, and fables.

With this, if Huo Mingchen were to ask her where she found out, she could simply pull out a book and tell him.

Thinking about these things, her initial unhappiness vanished instantly, leaving only excitement.

Little did she know that while she was happily watching, someone suddenly appeared beside her, looking at her with a half-smile.

Sensing something was wrong, Cheng Shanshan suddenly opened her eyes.

Next, a face of unparalleled handsomeness came into view, with chiseled features, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and lips as red as maple leaves.

His eyes and brows were full of smiles: "You seem very happy?"

"..."

I'm genuinely happy.

But when she saw Huo Mingchen appear beside her, her expression turned to shock, and she quickly sat up: "When did you get here?"

Huo Mingchen replied in a serious tone, "I've been here since you were grinning like an idiot."

"I wasn't grinning like an idiot." She said this, but a blush crept onto her face, though she quickly regained her composure. "After using that batch of herbs, did the effect improve?"

"Um."

Huo Mingchen responded, "It's under control."

"That's good."

"But I'm not well anymore."

Huo Mingchen closed his eyes as he spoke, his expression filled with pain...
