"Where have you been? Why is your face so pale and red?" Although her tone was one of concern and inquiry, Chu Yuan seemed to detect a hint of teasing.

Without answering her, he turned and went straight into the house. After a while, he talked to You Fangying about buying raw silk.

Recently, due to weather conditions, the canal transport has been disrupted, so a large quantity of raw silk belonging to Duke Xue was transported to the capital by waterway.

In order to divert his attention and prevent him from focusing his firepower on the Yan family, Xie Wei will send people to interfere with the silk ships entering the capital.

Just then, one of the managers of the Xue family's silk ship had an urgent need for money, so he set his sights on the raw silk and embezzled it, thus making it impossible for the batch of raw silk to be transported to the capital smoothly.

The ship capsized and the silk was destroyed, which would cause the price of raw silk in the capital to soar.

The Xu Wenyi that she had previously instructed Fangying to find was the head of the local silk merchants in the capital.

He was short of money and eager to sell all the raw silk he had to solve the problem of feeding the silk farmers.

That's simple, just buy all the silk he has and wait to get rich!

Fangying brought over the ledger to show her how much money she could raise by selling various valuable items from her room to acquire the goods from Xu Wenyi.

Chu Yuan glanced at it a few times and estimated it to be around one thousand taels.

It's definitely not enough, but the Xue family's silk ship should have run into trouble in the next day or two. So, while we can still buy the silk from Xu Wenyi at a low price, if we wait another two days, everyone will know that the silk ship can't enter the capital. At that time, not to mention others, even Lü Xian, the moneybag on Xie Wei's side, will be restless.

Xie Wei is rich; her meager resources are no match for him.

Therefore, Chu Yuan slammed her hand on the table and said, "Let's not wait any longer. Even if we pawn those other little things, we won't get much money. Tomorrow, let's take this money to Xu Wenyi and do a big deal with him!"

"Are you really going?" You Fangying looked at the amount of silver notes on the table, an amount she had never seen before, and her lips pursed nervously. "Second sister, more than a thousand taels. What if we lose money?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan stood up, smiled, and patted You Fangying's shoulder. "Fangying, you have to believe in yourself and believe in me. We will definitely make a lot of money."

She watched the whole series before she transmigrated here. If she can't make money from that, who can?

Here, the two sisters put aside their past grievances and worked together to make money.

Meanwhile, Xie Wei returned to his residence and immediately summoned Lü Xian, saying, "Go and investigate that second young lady of the You family. See if she has been in contact with any suspicious people. I have a feeling she knows too much!"

Lu Xian thought it was something important, but when he heard that it was about investigating women again, he pursed his lips and said, "Xie Ju'an, is it because the weather has been getting colder lately and you're about to have an attack, so you're in a bad mood and you can't stand anyone?"

"We just investigated Ning Er a while ago, and now they're investigating You Er. Will there be Zhang Er, Li Er, and Wang Er in a few days, and they'll all be women?"

"Just do what I tell you to do, stop talking so much nonsense! No wonder I always get first place in exams and you always get second. It's because you talk too much and ruin your luck!"

"Thank you, Ju'an!" Lü Xian hated it most when people mentioned this, and for a moment he was so angry that his eyes turned red and his neck bulged.

He angrily flicked his sleeves. "Jian Shu, what kind of talk is that? It's too much!"

Jian Shu crossed his arms and shrugged smugly, "Serves you right."

"You—" Lu Xian was furious again, but in a flash he remembered something, and he ran over to Xie Wei in a few steps, leaning on the table in front of him, "Xie Ju'an, last time you asked me to deliver a zither to the You residence, didn't You Er give you a gift in return? Have you seen it?"

Xie Wei replied coldly, "I didn't look."

It was given to him by a little girl; it was probably some kind of sachet or pouch, which he didn't care for.

Lu Xian knew what was going on as soon as he saw his expression, and immediately rushed over to tug at Jian Shu's arm, "Oh no! She gave you medicine, saying it could relieve your pain. I didn't take it seriously at the time, just like you guys, so I casually threw it to Jian Shu and didn't care."

“But now…” Lu Xian raised an eyebrow wickedly, “Xie Ju’an, what if she really has some ability? After all, someone as arrogant as you actually doubts a woman, so this woman must be extraordinary!”

Lu Xian was also following up on Jiang Xuening's recent close relationship with Zhou Yanzhi. Just the fact that a weak woman like her dared to coerce and entice Zhou Yanzhi all by herself showed that she was no pushover.

From this perspective, Xie Wei's judgment of people is often surprisingly accurate.

"I just asked you to keep an eye on things, why are you spouting all this nonsense? Everyone else may not know what illness I have, but you do, right? If it could be cured, why drag it out until today? You must be out of your mind. Jian Shu, show him out!" Xie Wei said irritably.

He couldn't help but touch his temples, frowning as he pressed them.

Winter has arrived, and I spent half the afternoon in the cold wind at the Marquis of Yongyi's residence today, which gave me a terrible headache.

Jian Shu obeyed orders, holding a sword in one hand and lifting Lü Xian up with the other, ready to throw him outside.

Lu Xian, a mere scholar, was no match for Jian Shu. As he howled, he shouted, "Xie Ju'an, you have no conscience! Who am I doing this for? I'm just hoping to try anything, even if it's a hopeless case. Even if you don't believe me, just let Doctor Liu take a look. What harm could it do to him?"

She glared at Jian Shu resentfully, "You just let him have his way?!"

"What, will just taking Jinshisan solve the problem?"

That is to say, Lü Xian had a life-or-death friendship with Xie Wei, Dao Qin, and Jian Shu. If it were anyone else who dared to shout and openly discuss Xie Wei's soul separation disorder, they would have lost their heads and lives long ago.

Upon hearing this, Jian Shu immediately released his grip. Being loyal to his master, he had no choice but to advise him as well, "My lord, why don't we listen to Boss Lü and take that medicine to Doctor Liu for testing? There are so many capable people in the world. We may not have the luck to meet one, but someone else might."
