"A calm mind brings coolness." Xu Nian's words made Mu Qingqing roll her eyes.

"Where's your jealous husband today?" Mu Qingqing found it strange. Wang Pu'an always watched over Xu Nian like a treasure, so it was rare to not see him today.

"I don't know where he went, he'll probably be back in a while." Xu Nian was indifferent to everything that was none of her business, and she didn't care about anything Wang Pu'an wanted to do.

"It's good that he's not here. Come to my house, I'll make you some iced tea," Mu Qingqing said, taking Xu Nian's hand.

"Qingqing, you've figured out a way to chill things?" Xu Nian was overjoyed.

"Yes, I asked my dad to buy me saltpeter, so it's no problem to make ice." Mu Qingqing boasted proudly.

"That's amazing." Xu Nian followed Mu Qingqing to her house and watched as she went through all the steps, and the two of them finally got to drink iced tea.

"I'm finally alive." Mu Qingqing hugged the iced tea and gulped it down in a few more mouthfuls.

"Qingqing, you could make a lot of money selling this in a shop." Xu Nian took another sip, and the heat in her body finally subsided a lot.

"Hey! Saltpeter isn't cheap. The cost of living in town isn't high. Who would spend money to buy this? I might as well make some for myself and have some fun." Mu Qingqing didn't have any grand ambitions. She was content as long as she ate well and lived a good life. She didn't care whether she made money or not.

“That’s true, you can’t keep this business if you don’t have power or influence.” Xu Nian finished her herbal tea in one gulp, and didn’t forget to take another bowl with her when she left.

"Tsk! I'm going to support you and your lover too!" Mu Qingqing's joke left Xu Nian speechless.

As I was taking the herbal tea back, I ran into Wang Pu'an, who was returning from outside. He finished the herbal tea with bright eyes, but wisely didn't ask any questions.

That night, a heavy rain fell for miles around, finally washing away the sweltering heat of the past few days.
