Chapter 56: Xinghua Village (5th update)

"Mom, you're looking for me!" Yuan Ziyu brought Qingzhi to Liufengyuan and saw Manager Liu replying to Liu.

"Second Miss!" Manager Liu bowed respectfully to Yuan Ziyu.

"Manager Liu, no need to be so polite!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, then sat down beside Liu and asked, "Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Liu smiled and said, "Manager Liu, please tell me!"

"Yes!" Manager Liu responded quickly, "Second Miss, the shop on Chongping Street has been taken back, so I wanted to ask how to renovate it."

Yuan Ziyu couldn't help but feel delighted: "You took it back? That's great!"

After thinking for a moment, he ordered Qingzhi, "Go back and get the Herbal Anthology that I left on the shelf on the left side of the study."

"Yes, Second Miss!"

Soon, Qingzhi brought the Baicao Collection!

Yuan Ziyou took out a piece of rice paper from the Herbal Collection and handed it to Manager Liu: "Manager Liu, these are some of my ideas. Please arrange for some people to repair the shop first. If there is anything you don't understand, please come and ask me."

"Yes, Second Miss!" Manager Liu respectfully took the rice paper, looked at it carefully, asked a few questions, and then took the rice paper and left!

Yuan Ziyou looked at the sky outside and said to Liu: "Mom, I have to go out today and may be back late!"

"Where are you going?" Liu asked.

"I need to go outside the city to look for someone!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "It's a bit far. I'm going to go there on horseback."

"Who is it?" Liu frowned slightly and said, "Just send someone to find him. Why did you run so far? What if there's any danger along the way?"

"Mother!" Yuan Ziyu hugged Liu's arm and shook her, "It's just outside the city. It's not far, but it's more convenient to ride a horse. The carriage is so wobbly and slow!"

"Okay, okay, go ahead!" Liu had no choice but to compromise: "But you have to bring a few more servants with you, otherwise..."

"Mom, that's not necessary. Don't you know how skilled I am?" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile, "I'll just take Qingying and Qingzhi with me. It's settled!"

Having said that, he hurriedly took Qingzhi back to Wuyou Pavilion, which made Liu sigh but she could do nothing about it.

Because she was going to ride a horse, after returning to Wuyou Pavilion, Yuan Ziyu changed into a red riding suit, combed her hair into a simple bun, put on a cloak with a brocade fur collar, and left the house with Qingying and Qingzhi.

Before they had gone far, Huo Xifei arrived with Pingshan.

"You want to go out of the city? I'll go with you!" Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyu with a smile.

Yuan Ziyou pouted: "You actually sent someone to watch me!"

"No!" Huo Xifei sighed, "I'm worried about your safety. There's still no news of that villain who slipped through the net. You and Prince Xuan ruined his plan that day, and I'm worried he'll come looking for trouble. Of course, you don't have to worry about Prince Xuan. You're too vulnerable here, and that's the easiest spot for him to strike."

Yuan Ziyou naturally understood Huo Xifei's painstaking efforts and didn't really blame him, so he smiled and said, "I understand, but I don't blame you!"

"What are you going to do outside the city?" Huo Xifei rode a horse side by side with Yuan Ziyu. Today, Huo Xifei was wearing a black riding suit. Together with Yuan Ziyu, one red and one black, they were very pleasing to the eye, attracting passers-by to look back frequently.

"Go to Xinghua Village, twenty miles south of the city, to look for someone!" Yuan Ziyu replied.

"Let's go, let's go and come back quickly!"

"good!"

The five of them walked south out of the city gate and walked about twenty miles until they arrived at Xinghua Village, which was the village where Shi Mi lived.

After entering the village, several people got off their horses.

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, several women were doing their work and talking and laughing loudly. When they saw Yuan Ziyu and others coming, and saw the luxurious clothes they were wearing, they immediately stopped talking and looked at them secretly with a hint of envy and awe in their eyes.

"Aunties, may I ask where Shi Mi lives?" Qingzhi stepped forward and asked.

Seeing that it was a beautiful young lady who came forward to ask questions, the women were all excited. Finally, the oldest woman pointed to the road in the village and said with a smile: "Sir, go straight ahead along this road. Turn east at the sixth house and you will find the third gate."

"Thank you so much!" Qingzhi got the promise and came back to report.

After Yuan Ziyu and the others walked away, the women became excited.

"Oh, my lord, I actually spoke to you!"

"Indeed, that noble lady is so pretty!"

"Of course, how can a noble man not look good?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you all forgot who they were looking for. It was that girl Shi Mi!"

"Oh, yeah, could it be that Shi Mi is going to be rich?"

…

"Miss!" Yuan Ziyu and a few others followed the direction indicated by the women and found Shi Mi's house very smoothly. When Shi Mi opened the door and saw Yuan Ziyu, she couldn't help but be overjoyed and bowed respectfully.

Seeing Huo Xifei's extraordinary demeanor, he didn't dare to look at him any longer and just bowed silently.

"Mi'er, who's here?" A weak voice came from the room, accompanied by a cough, and the person seemed to be panting while speaking.

"Mother, this is a noble person who once helped me!" Shi Mi hurriedly shouted towards the house, and then whispered to Yuan Ziyu: "Miss, I didn't tell my mother about what happened that day. Please don't tell my mother, okay? Otherwise, she will worry!"

Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

Yuan Ziyou and the others followed Shi Mi into the house. Shi Mi hurriedly poured them some water and said, "It's really simple. I'm sorry to bother you gentlemen!"

At this time, coughing sounds were heard from the inner room again. Shi Mi hurriedly said sorry and went into the inner room.

After a while, the coughing gradually subsided, and Shi Mi came out from the inner room, saying with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality, please forgive me."

"That's all right!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, and then, using her purse, she took out a packet of pills from the Qiongjiang Pavilion. "I know a little bit about pharmacology, and these are some pills I made myself. They're effective for coughs. Take one pill three times a day. You and your mother can try them!"

"Thank you very much, young lady!" Shi Mi knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Ziyu, saying, "It's just that I have received such great kindness from you before, and now I have received the medicine you have given me. I really don't know how to repay you. From now on, if you want me to do anything for you, I will do it even if it means death."

Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "It's not that serious. Take the medicine first and give it to your mother. I really have something to tell you later."

"Yes, miss, please wait a moment!" Hearing the mother's cough in the inner room again, Shi Mi didn't care about anything else and hurriedly took the medicine and went into the inner room.

"Mi'er, what kind of noble person is this to give you medicine!" Shi Mu was a little frightened and didn't know why this noble person came.

Shi Mi hurriedly said, "Mother, the young lady is a good person. She helped me before. This medicine is effective, so it must be good. You should take it quickly. Maybe you will get better after taking it!"

"Okay!" Shi Mu nodded and swallowed a pill.
