After discussing things, seeing that it was still early, Yan Funing ordered Li Xinheng to drive to the mysterious house.
The ox cart stopped outside the house and the three people got off.
Li Xinheng and Caiyu knocked on the door, and this time the door opened quite quickly.
The middle-aged butler let Yan Funing in, and just as Caiyu was about to follow, he stopped her.
Just now on the ox cart, Li Xinheng had told her that this house was quite mysterious and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
But she still tried for a long time, and then she opened her voice and said: "I am the girl's maid, I must follow."
"Maids are not allowed to enter, even the ladies are not allowed to enter." After the middle-aged housekeeper said this, he slammed the door shut.
Caiyu rolled up her sleeves and was about to knock on the door to argue, but was stopped by Li Xinheng.
"Don't waste your energy. The people here are quite powerful. We can't defeat them."
Caiyu frowned: "Really can't beat him?"
Li Xinheng nodded and pointed at the courtyard with his chin: "The owner of this courtyard is from the capital, he is very influential, so how could he have few thugs?"
When Caiyu heard this, she gave up the idea of taking action and followed Li Xinheng back to the ox cart.
Yan Funing carried a backpack and followed the maid in orange clothes as she walked along the corridor.
When she arrived in front of Nanny Min, Yan Funing took out the brown paper package containing the medical book from the backpack and said, "This time I have two Ganoderma lucidum for sale, one large and one small. I'm also returning the medical book. Thank you, young master, for lending me the book."
Nanny Min snorted, "You borrowed the medical book for so long, I thought you didn't plan to return it."
"It's a must to return something. It's not difficult to borrow again. Of course I have to return it. It's just that I was busy with other things recently. Besides, I just picked the Ganoderma lucidum yesterday."
Yan Funing peeled off the brown paper, revealing the intact medical book.
Nanny Min refused to accept it and continued to nag, "Medical books are precious, more expensive than other books. Who knows if you wanted to keep them for yourself? You wanted to sell the Ganoderma lucidum, so you had no choice but to bring the medical books with you."
"Madam, you are wrong. I borrowed it from your young master, so I will return it naturally. It has been a while, but I have never thought of leaving the medical book behind."
At this time, a maid in a sky-blue dress came over and said, "The master said, please go to Xuanzhu Hall!"
Nanny Min was shocked when she heard this: "Young Master wants to see her?"
The maid in the sky-blue dress nodded in agreement: "Madam, if you have time, let's go together."
Led by the maid, the two of them went to Xuanzhu Hall.
As before, the Xuanzhu Hall was filled with dancing gauze, and now it was even greener.
Following the maid's footsteps, Yan Funing entered the hall.
Behind a gauze curtain, the young man straightened his body.
His coughing had just subsided, and now he wasn't coughing at all.
Thinking back to the previous times she came to the house, it was the same.
That's really strange.
Seeing that her young master remained silent, Nanny Min reported, "Sir, this young lady borrowed the medical book earlier and only returned it today. It's clear that she has the intention of taking the book for herself."
Yan Funing said anxiously, "It's my fault for borrowing the book for too long, but I never thought of taking it for myself. Please believe me, sir!"
The man behind the curtain adjusted his sitting position and asked, "You want to study medicine?"
Yan Funing nodded frankly: "I learned some when I was young, and now I want to consolidate the system."
The man nodded, his voice gentle, "Mammy, please ask Elder Ding to bring a set of systematic medical books."
Nanny Min couldn't believe what she heard: "Sir, are you still planning to lend her the book?"
"What? You don't even listen to me?" The man's voice turned cold.
Nanny Min kept saying she didn't dare and backed out, her steps obviously a little flustered.
Yan Funing didn't understand what was going on. She hadn't even asked to borrow the book yet.
At this moment, the curtain was lifted and a man came down the stairs.
The man wore a light robe and a loose belt, with a jade crown on his head. His eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, his face was a little pale, but his body was as straight as a pine tree.
He nodded slightly to Yan Funing: "Don't take what Nanny Min said to heart."
Yan Funing expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, sir!"
The man said calmly, "I ate all the Ganoderma lucidum you sold me last time. Why haven't you come back recently?"
Yan Funing lowered her eyes and said, "During this period, I first went to dig other medicinal herbs, and then I was busy with other things, so I couldn't go into the mountains to look for Ganoderma lucidum."
She put the medical book on the coffee table beside her and took out two Ganoderma lucidum from her backpack: "These are the ones I picked yesterday."
"I want both." The man asked again, "Where did you sell the other herbs you dug?"
"county seat."
The man continued, "I'm a herbalist, and I also collect some common herbs. Next time, you can bring all the herbs with you. Maybe they'll be exactly what I need."
Yan Funing said, "That's great."
It is not easy to go to the county town, so it is naturally good to be able to sell the medicinal materials nearby.
Old Ding came over with a pile of books and entered the hall. He unexpectedly saw his own son coming out from behind the curtain and meeting a strange girl.
The man pointed at the books that Mr. Ding was carrying and said, "Girl, do you think these are enough?"
"Such a thick stack, enough to read for a long time." Yan Funing thanked sincerely, "Thank you, sir!"
She took the book and showed the Ganoderma to Nanny Min. "Please give me an estimate!"
At this moment, Nanny Min didn't dare to speak anymore.
Even at this age, if she still couldn't realize that her master treated the girl in front of her differently, then most of her life would have been lived in vain.
Elder Ding said, "There are so many small ones, most of them are probably growing on the cliffs. Although they are small, they are very old. This big one must have grown on the tree trunk. Now that the weather is getting warmer, there are more nutrients, so it has grown bigger. Two Ganoderma lucidum are eight taels of silver each, a total of sixteen taels."
Nanny Min immediately took out some silver and gave it to Yan Funing.
Yan Funing accepted the silver, picked up the book, and then picked up the empty backpack: "It's getting late, I should go back. Thank you for borrowing the book!"
After saying that, he left.
The man raised his hand and was about to say something, but Elder Ding interrupted him: "Sir, please stay behind the curtain. Strangers are not allowed to come near!"
"The entire courtyard is off-limits to anyone, just to prevent the young master's cough from getting worse." Old Ding became increasingly excited as he spoke. "You're so kind! As soon as the young lady arrived, you immediately came out from behind the curtain."
The man glanced at him and said, "Master Ding, have your medical skills regressed?"
"Why do you say that, sir?"
"Before the girl came back, my coughing gradually subsided. When she got closer, I miraculously stopped coughing." As he spoke, he coughed violently, "Cough, cough, cough..."
Only then did Elder Ding realize, "Yes, the young master didn't cough just now."
"Why do you think it is?" The man coughed twice more. "Not only did I stop coughing just now, but I also felt a lot less heavy."
Elder Ding thought for a moment and said, "I am also baffled by this."
The man walked behind the curtain and called out, "Shadow Seven."
A man in a strong suit immediately appeared, clasped his fists and asked, "Sir, please give me your instructions!"
"Check the identity of the girl just now."
Ying Qi was surprised: "Master, are you finally attracted to this girl?"
The man's voice was extremely unhappy: "Which eye did you see that with?"
Ying Qi was puzzled: "Then why did the young master order his men to investigate the young lady?"
