Xu Baofu was startled and immediately shouted loudly.

"Who are you? What do you want? Let me go! Do you know who I am? I am the eldest brother of the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion!"

"I know, I know, Brother Xu, don't get agitated. I didn't mean anything by it."

The two men pulled him into a nearby alley, smiling and behaving ingratiatingly.

Seeing that invoking the Earl's name had worked, Xu Baofu breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and arrogantly shouted.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Who are you?"

The two exchanged a glance, rubbed their hands together, leaned forward, and whispered.

"Brother Xu probably doesn't know yet."

Xu Baofu asked in confusion, "Know what?"

He spent most of the last two days in the gambling den, only coming out after he had lost all his money.

The two of them then briefly explained the situation to him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Baofu looked astonished, then his face filled with anger.

"What?! How dare she!"

The two women thought he was scolding Wen Wan, and they both echoed his words.

"That's right, I never expected her to be so vicious. Luckily, your sister is smart and didn't suffer any harm from her."

"She's already got her into jail, and she hasn't even been harmed yet? What's the Earl's family doing? How could they let their own daughter go to jail? No, I have to go and ask them."

Xu Baofu was somewhat flustered.

If Wen Wan really goes to jail, where will he get the money?

Both of them were taken aback before they realized what was happening.

She was actually protecting Wen Wan.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, she's been living with me for over ten years, so there's bound to be some affection between us.

The two quickly pulled him back, saying, "Brother Xu, don't be anxious. You don't know that although Wenrou left the Marquis's mansion, she took a huge sum of money with her."

Upon hearing the word "money," Xu Baofu immediately turned his attention back, his eyes lighting up.

His concern for Wen Wan was not because of any sibling affection.

I'm just afraid I won't get the money in the future.

The two then explained the recipe for Spring Jade Dew in detail.

Upon hearing that a single prescription could fetch 100,000 taels of silver, Xu Baofu gasped in astonishment.

But when she said she only wanted a farm, she got so angry she almost lost her temper.

"That idiot, how dare she! She didn't even consult me ​​first, does she really think I'm dead? No, I have to stop her."

He was about to leave in a huff after he finished speaking, but he was pulled back after taking only two steps.

"It's probably too late. We just saw her being taken to an inn by the county government officials. It's likely that the deal has already been reached."

Xu Baofu was furious. "That won't do. She must go to the prefectural government and exchange the 100,000 taels back."

The two exchanged a glance and said with smiles.

“Brother Xu, the prefecture government has gained such a great advantage, how could it possibly give it up so easily?”

Xu Baofu also realized what was going on, and his face immediately turned even uglier.

"I...I'll go to the Earl's residence to talk to them."

The two of them chuckled.

"Your sister has caused the Earl's Mansion to become a laughing stock in the city and even sent the Earl's eldest daughter to jail. Now you have really offended the Earl's Mansion. How could they possibly help you? It would be good enough if they didn't take their anger out on you."

Xu Baofu then remembered that Wen Wan, the only person in his household he could talk to, was probably already in prison.

Enraged even more, he slammed his fist against the wall, yelling, "That bitch!"

“Hey, Brother Xu, why are you in such a hurry? Spring Jade Dew was made by your younger sister. As long as she still knows the recipe, selling it once is selling it, and selling it twice is also selling it.”

“That’s right. If you sell it a few more times, you can make not just 100,000 taels, but millions or even tens of millions of taels. At that time, Brother Xu, you will be sitting on a mountain of gold and won’t have to ask for money or beg for anyone’s favor.”

Xu Baofu was taken aback, then, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, he became excited.

Completely unaware of the unusual nature of their conversation, they were clearly very familiar with his situation.

At that moment, all he could think about was money.

"Yes, yes, I can take it and sell it elsewhere. Where did you say she was?"

"Brother Xu, we've come here specifically to inform you of this matter..."

Xu Baofu immediately understood what they meant and waved his hand generously.

"Don't worry, once I get rich, you'll all get your share of the benefits."

The two immediately said, "We brothers don't want any benefits. We just have no fixed abode here. Seeing that Brother Xu has the demeanor of a noble person, we want to follow you and serve you tea and water."

Xu Baofu was flattered by the two men, "What's the big deal? From now on, you two are my brothers. I'll treat you to the best of everything."

The two exchanged an excited glance.

"Good, good. It is truly a blessing we have earned in our eighteen lifetimes to be brothers with Brother Xu. Come, let us take you to find your sister."

A short while later, the three arrived in front of Tongfu Inn.

Xu Baofu peeked inside.

Are you sure she lives here?

“That’s right. The princess’s carriage brought her here. When she got off the carriage, we saw her carrying a large box. She must have received a lot of good things.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Baofu perked up even more and immediately hurried inside.

The two people behind them hurriedly and excitedly followed.

"Please come in, gentlemen. Are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"I'm looking for Wenrou, I'll have her come over."

The waiter was taken aback and immediately looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper frowned. "We don't help with finding people. If you're not staying here for a meal, please leave so as not to disturb other customers."

Upon hearing this, Xu Baofu immediately slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?"

The shopkeeper was startled, genuinely afraid of accidentally offending some powerful or influential person.

But then I looked at his appearance and clothing.

The clothes do look like they're made of good material, but it's just ordinary good material, not like it came from some prestigious family.

Looking at his appearance and demeanor, he doesn't seem like a young master from a high-ranking family at all.

It's more like a servant who's using someone else's power to bully others.

He hurriedly asked, "I am not good at recognizing guests, so I do not know who you are serving?"

Xu Baofu couldn't understand the meaning behind his words, but he calmed down when he saw him soften and smile apologetically.
