Xu Yulan received Su Yun's message and waited at the gate of the mansion early.
Seeing the Su family's carriage coming, he hurriedly came forward and said, "Madam Su, you came back yesterday. If I had known, I would have come to find you a long time ago."
Xiao Lingyu could hear some complaints in her words, "I'm glad I came to see you. I'm giving you a small Mid-Autumn Festival gift in advance."
Su Xingyi quickly handed over ten kilograms of mooncakes.
"This is?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "It's a whole big mooncake, weighing a full ten pounds."
Xu Yulan's eyes lit up instantly. He quickly opened the box and took a look. He sniffed and said, "It smells good. It must be delicious."
"Yes, Sister Xu." Little Xier poked her head out, "Everything my mother cooks is delicious."
Xu Yulan smiled when she heard this. If she said her mother's cooking was not delicious, Xiao Xi'er would be angry with her. "Yeah, your mother's cooking is delicious and sells for a lot of money."
"Yulan, we have to go back to the village now. We will send a batch of rare ingredients in two days. We will not send it again after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days, and it's a good time for Yulanxuan to make money. Do you have any stock? Can I have two portions?" Xu Yulan asked expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Su Ningjie remembered that it was also a big day for his Luyuan Qionglou to make money, so he went back to pick all the potatoes and sweet potatoes to supply them.
"Mother, our stock is enough to supply Yulanxuan and Luyuanqionglou." Su Ningjie winked at Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu nodded: "Then I'll send you two servings in two days."

Arriving at Guihua Village, Yan Wei had lunch and didn't want to return to Xishui County with Su Yun, so he said to Xiao Lingyu, "Madam, Master Su wants me to teach Young Master An Qinggong. I will teach Young Master An martial arts this afternoon."
Su Ningjie hurriedly said, "Uncle Yan Wei, it's not too late for you to teach Big Brother after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Luoxia Cottage still needs your care."
If Yan Wei stayed here, how could he openly dig the ground and grow rare ingredients?
Xiao Lingyu said, "Yan Wei, don't worry and return to the city. The village is very safe and there will be no assassins. You can come with us to Huayang County in two days. Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. Come with me to the main hall."
When Su Ningjie saw Yan Wei, he followed Xiao Lingyu into the main hall, and hurriedly pulled Su Ning'an to the backyard next door to dig the ground and grow rare ingredients.
In the main hall, Xiao Lingyu took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Wei.
"Go to Huayang County ahead of time and find out about the situation of the aristocratic families in Huayang County, especially the Cui and Meng families. The more detailed the better."
"Okay, my lord, that is..."
Seeing Yan Wei hesitate to speak, Xiao Lingyu said, "Go ahead."
Yan Wei said, "The Cui family is the Second Prince's maternal grandfather's family. The prince initially suspected the Cui family of cheating in the imperial examinations and asked us to secretly investigate. It was during this investigation that the prince was framed for rebellion."
"Are you saying that the person behind the framing of the prince and my Xiao family is the Second Prince Feng Jinxiu?"
"My Lady, this is just speculation. The Prince also has some suspicions about the Second Prince, but there is no clear evidence."
Xiao Lingyu frowned and thought deeply. The one who benefited the most from Feng Jinyu's loss of power was Feng Jinxiu. It was not excluded that the third prince and the fourth prince seemed to be honest and not interested in power, but in fact, they were the ones to be most wary of.
"Now that I know about this, let's focus on investigating the Cui family. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Autumn Examination will begin. If the Cui family is indeed cheating in the imperial examination, there will definitely be some action during this year's Autumn Examination. This time, we will secretly investigate and hopefully find substantial evidence of the Cui family cheating. Then, we can dig deeper and see if we can find any evidence that the Second Prince is framing us."
Yan Wei wants to find evidence as soon as possible to overturn Feng Jinyu's case.
His prince had lost the princess, and he could not lose the Beiyi kingdom again. The second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince were no match for his prince.
"Yes, Princess. I will rush to Huayang County today."
"Okay, come to Lu Mansion to find me on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Not long after Yan Wei and Su Yun left, Su Xingyi returned to the flat with a set of carving tools.
"Xiao Yu, the carving tools have been polished. Take a look."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the eighteen knives spread out in front of him and reached out to take one of the small awl knives, but Su Xingyi stopped him in time.
"Be careful, it's sharp."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Xiao Lingyu then carefully inspected the carving tools and said after a while, "Okay, I'll make you a wood carving today."
"Mother, what kind of wood carving will you make for Dad?"
Su Ning'an carried a hoe and walked into the yard with Su Ningjie, his eyes sweeping over the eighteen knives on the stone table.
"Mother plans to carve your father into wood."
Su Ning'an put down the hoe, walked over and picked up a sharp little spatula, and looked at the blade carefully. "Mother, the blade is very sharp and it's easy to hurt your hand. Let me carve Dad into the wood, okay?"
Su Ningjie recalled the scene where Xiao Lingyu fainted with blood on his palm, and quickly took the small awl knife from Xiao Lingyu's hand. "Big brother is right, let big brother make wood carvings for Dad."
Su Xingyi was very relieved that his two sons had not been raised in vain by their mother who cared about them. "Xiao Yu, just listen to An Ge'er and Jie Ge'er. If you hurt your hand, the children will be very sad."
"Yes, we will feel bad." At this time, Xiao Xier and Su Ningwen walked out of the large flat one after another.
"Let big brother carve it, shall we?" Xiao Xi'er hooked her hand around Xiao Lingyu's thumb and said, "Last time, Mommy fainted after cutting her palm. I won't let that happen again."
"Mother, you can't cut your hands again, it will leave marks." Su Ningwen touched the light lotus-shaped scar on Xiao Lingyu's left palm and blew on it.
