"Luo Luo, are you hurt?"
Nangong Qing was filled with worry when he saw that Su Luo was covered in blood.
"No, I want to take a shower, now, right now."
"Okay! You wait here, I'll go get you some water right now."
The innkeeper kept the water warm in the kitchen, and Nangong Qing only needed to fetch it.
After several attempts, Ah Xu snatched the two wooden buckets from Nangong Qing's hands.
"Young master, how could you do such a thing? Let your subordinates come down."
"No need, I can do it myself."
He snatched the bucket from Ah Xu's hands and turned to go back into the kitchen.
Ah Xu stared blankly at his empty hands for a moment.
Young Master is the dignified Third Prince, how could he fetch bathwater for Su Luo?
Su Zuo went to fix the carriage again, and also reconnected the ropes that had been cut.
Qiu Yue handed Su Luo a change of clothes before leaving.
Soaking in the tub, Su Luo took out a series of toiletries, including shower gel and soap, from her spatial storage. She wanted to wash her legs thoroughly.
The inn was suddenly robbed, and no one dared to sleep. Only outside Fu Zhengqing's room, a group of servants and maids stood guard to ensure Mo Sang's safety.
The noise was too loud. By the time Su Luo finished showering, it was almost dawn. She packed her luggage and set off for Anchangzhou with Nangong Qing and the others.
When passing by a tea shop, Su Luo bought a lot of tea leaves.
It's never wrong to be polite; having these teas should make it easier to negotiate a distributorship for Baicao Oil.
Outside the city gate, Su Luo could see Old Madam Xu waiting for her from afar.
Waving to Madam Xu, Su Luo told Su Zuo to hurry up with the carriage.
"Lady Su, you've finally arrived."
As soon as Su Luo stepped off the carriage, Old Madam Xu took her hand and greeted her with a warm smile.
"Madam, what are you doing here? How have you been lately? Are you still in good health?"
“You wrote back to me saying you arrived in Anchangzhou this morning, so I am waiting for you here.”
Since you treated me, my health has been getting better day by day.
However, as I mentioned in my letter, not only did Hongkuo snatch the herbal oil you gave me, but even my old friends come to my yard one by one every day to use it, so I don't have enough.
Upon seeing Su Luo, Madam Xu's smile never faded; she hadn't been this happy in a long time.
"Don't worry, Madam, I brought you a lot."
"That's wonderful! My sisters will be so envious of me when they see how much herbal oil I have."
"Madam Su, who are these two?"
When Madam Xu first met Nangong Qing and A Xu, their handsome appearance made them seem like young masters from official families.
Su Luo didn't know their true identities, but they weren't bad people, and they were good-looking too.
"Madam, they are my friends, Nangong Qing and Axu..."
Su Luo introduced the woman to Madam Xu with a smile.
"Greetings, Madam Xu!"
Nangong Qing greeted him with a gentle and refined gesture of clasping his hands in greeting and bowing his head.
"So you're a friend of Lady Su. Very well, let's go back to the manor. I've had a meal prepared and I'm just waiting for you."
The time when they arrived in Anchangzhou was exactly noon.
"Okay, thank you, Madam."
The two chatted and laughed as they got back into the carriage.
Inside the Xu residence, a large table was laden with delicious food, but only the four of them were sitting there. Su Luo looked around but couldn't see Xu Hongkuo returning to eat.
"Madam, where is Lord Xu? Shouldn't we wait for him to eat together?"
When Xu Hongkuo was mentioned, Old Madam Xu immediately expressed her displeasure.
"Don't even mention him. He's so busy every day that he forgets to eat. This morning, he even went to investigate some kind of bandit robbery case. I heard that someone even died."
He should be out of town now, so we don't need to wait for him. Let's eat.
Su Luo, Nangong Qing, and A Xu exchanged glances. The case that Old Madam Xu mentioned must be the one that happened at the post station last night.
"Okay, let's eat."
"By the way, Madam Su, are you coming to Anchangzhou this time to open a pharmacy specializing in herbal oils?"
Madam Xu hoped that Su Luo could sell herbal oil in Anchangzhou, so that she wouldn't have to send someone to Yongle County to buy it.
"No, I want to sell the herbal oil in Anchangzhou, but I don't plan to open a pharmacy here."
How can we sell medicine if we don't open a pharmacy? Old Madam Xu didn't understand Su Luo's meaning.
"Madam Su, how do you plan to sell the Herbal Oil in Anchangzhou?"
“I came to Anchangzhou specifically to sell it in other pharmacies.”
"Oh, I see. If that's the case, then it will be more convenient for us to buy herbal oil in the future."
Madam Xu turned her head and saw Nangong Qing and A Xu again: "Where are these two young masters? Are they here for sightseeing?"
Nangong Qing put down his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then spoke.
"I am ashamed to say that I originally wanted to come and see what Anchangzhou has to offer, and also to see if I could do some business here."
Madam Xu was very pleased with Nangong Qing's performance. "Not bad, the young man is ambitious and a good child."
Ah Xu wanted to laugh inwardly; this was the first time he had ever heard someone describe the young master as a child.
After lunch, Su Luo gave a portion of the tea she bought from the tea shop to Old Madam Xu and also helped her with her follow-up medical check-up.
Only after confirming that the toxins in her body had been cleared did I feel relieved.
At noon, Su Luo led Su Zuo and Qiu Yue out of the Xu residence.
After taking a few steps, he stopped and said to Nangong Qing behind him.
"I'll go find a pharmacy in a bit, so I won't be able to go look at the restaurant with you."
Also, you should find a few more places, and if the price is right, we can discuss it together.
Nangong Qing waved his fan, looking somewhat unwilling.
He came here to keep Su Luo company.
"Okay, you didn't sleep well last night, don't push yourself too hard. If we can't finish today, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, Nangong Qing, I've noticed you've become quite long-winded lately. I'll be going now."
Once inside the carriage, the three headed straight for Juyuantang, the largest pharmacy in Anchangzhou.
Watching Su Luo and the others drive away, only two rows of cart wheels remained on the road.
Nangong Qing turned to A Xu and asked, "Have I been particularly long-winded lately?"
Ah Xu frowned and took a step back, saying, "Young Master, you've changed quite a bit lately. It seems like you've been acting strangely since around the Lantern Festival."
"What's strange about it?"
Ah Xu couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something just felt off, like it wasn't the same as before.
“Young master, this is just a feeling I get from you. I’m not good with words and can’t express it, but Madam Su has already said something about you… so you should think about it yourself.”
Ah Xu also wanted to say that the young master was long-winded, but he didn't dare.
"I don't see anything wrong with it."
Ah Xu clicked his tongue in surprise: "How could you not? You haven't even paid attention to something as important as finding Fuxing lately."
Nangong Qing glared at Axu, and he dared not say anything more.
"I haven't forgotten. I'm just waiting to confirm if she's the person we're looking for."
With so many babies, when will we ever see them? That's what Ah Xu was thinking anyway.
