The little dumpling followed Mu Jinnian and Zhen Chang'an to Ziyang Hall.

Before the three set off, in order to avoid attracting attention, the little dumpling had Mu Jinnian and Zhen Chang'an change into ordinary clothes.

In this way, their visit to Ziyangtang would go unnoticed.

I originally thought that Ziyangtang was famous and the store would be packed with people and very lively.

But before the grand gate, a few leaves drifted by, leaving the space empty and somewhat desolate.

The little dumpling nestled in Mu Jinnian's arms and whispered to him:

"Brother, is Ziyangtang not open for business yet?"

Mu Jinnian was also surprised, not expecting Ziyangtang to be so deserted.

However, Mu Jinnian saw that the main gate of Ziyang Hall was open, and two exquisitely dressed maids were standing in front of it, so it did not seem like the gate was closed.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Mu Jinnian spoke to Xiao Tuanzi and Zhen Shaoqing, then strode over.

The three pretended to be buying something, but as soon as they got close, they were stopped by two maids at the door.

The maid was very beautiful, but her face was stiff and expressionless.

Their faces were covered in thick makeup, making them very white, like two sheets of white paper, creating a color difference with their necks.

"I'm sorry, we only accept female guests, not male guests."

The two maids said in unison.

Looking at the two women's faces, the little girl felt a chill run down her spine. These two maids looked like wooden puppets, lifeless and dull.

The little dumpling couldn't help but hug Mu Jinnian's neck tightly in fear.

Mu Jinnian and Zhen Shaoqing exchanged a glance.

What should we do if we don't accept male guests?

Just as Mu Jinnian and Zhen Shaoqing were about to leave, the eyes of the two maids suddenly fell on the little dumpling.

They said in unison, "You can't go in, but this little girl can!"

Mu Jinnian directly refused, saying, "No need."

He hadn't figured out the details of this place yet, so he couldn't let his precious little sister go in alone.

Zhen Shaoqing also said, "Let's go, let's go back and think of a solution."

Zhen Shaoqing planned to go back to the Dali Temple to find a woman.

The little dumpling called out to the two of them.

"Brother, could you please let me in?"

The little girl had a strange feeling in her heart; she always felt that there was something special about this Ziyangtang.

Moreover, that thing had a special attraction for her.

Although she was instinctively afraid, subconsciously she wanted to see it.

“No, it’s too dangerous. I can’t let you go in alone,” Mu Jinnian said.

If anything happens to the little dumpling, not only will his father and grandfather not forgive him, but he himself will not be able to forgive himself!

"Then come in with me, brother." The little dumpling looked at Mu Jinnian with a mischievous smile in its eyes.

Mu Jinnian: "But brother can't get in."

"It's okay, brother can go in," the little dumpling said with a grin.

Mu Jinnian scratched his head in confusion, not understanding what idea the little dumpling had come up with.

Half an hour later.

Zhen Shaoqing leaned against the wall, laughing uncontrollably. He couldn't stop laughing, and his back was bent from laughing so hard that he could only hold onto the wall for support.

Standing in front of him were a cute little girl and a tall... older woman.

The "young lady" wore a red dress, had two braids, and two patches of red blush on her cheeks. Her eyes showed a helpless resignation to life. Overall, she had a very strange and resolute beauty.

"Young lady" Mu Jinnian glared at Zhen Shaoqing, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhen Shaoqing: "Haha, Brother Mu, oh no, Miss Mu, you are truly a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon hide its face and flowers blush with shame."

The little dumpling nodded and said, "Yes, brother can scare fish to death and flowers to wither."

Having Mu Jinnian dress as a woman was a brilliant idea that Xiao Tuanzi had just come up with.

In this way, her brother could accompany her to the Ziyangtang (a traditional Chinese medicine clinic).

Mu Jinnian could only cover the little dumpling's mouth with his hand in response to her twisted logic.

Ignoring Zhen Shaoqing, who was laughing so hard he was doubled over, Mu Jinnian pulled the little dumpling towards Ziyang Hall.

All he wanted to do now was finish the task quickly and change out of this outfit.

"Don't tell anyone."

Mu Jinnian gave the little dumpling some instructions.

The little dumpling nodded, suppressing a laugh, "Okay, brother, oh no, sister."

Mu Jinnian: A bitter smile.

When Xiao Tuanzi and Mu Jinnian arrived at Ziyang Hall again, the two maids glanced at them indifferently, then said nothing, only gesturing for them to come in.

Xiao Tuanzi and Mu Jinnian entered Ziyangtang, and were immediately shocked by the bizarre decor.

On the dark walls, a few dim candles were lit, and sheep heads were painted on the walls. Even the chairs in the hall were shaped like sheep.

The little dumpling couldn't help but move closer to Mu Jinnian.

Mu Jinnian held her small hand and said, "Don't be afraid."

A woman walked towards the two of them with a smile.

"Hello, I'm in charge of greeting you two. You can call me Xiao Jia."

Xiao Jia's smile was gentle, but looking at him, one could always sense an inexplicable eeriness about him.
