Chapter 10: Could it be that she also traveled through time?
Ruan Yunbo nodded, "Third brother promised Ruo Wei that he would give her the Hanxiang Feiyun grass, but he broke his promise yesterday and wants to go and explain to Ruo Wei."
Ruan Yunsheng did not stop him, "Okay, go ahead, Third Brother."
Ruan Yunbo instructed the servants to take good care of Ruan Yunsheng, and then left the Marquis' Mansion.
After Ruan Yunbo left, Ruan Yunsheng instructed Zhiqin: "Send someone to follow Third Brother and see where he went. Also, check for information about Jinxianglou and Bai Ruowei."

Yuhuchunlou.
Ruan Yunbo finally managed to get Bai Ruowei out.
He placed a nine-treasure hairpin made of gold filigree in front of Bai Ruowei, "Ruowei, consider this hairpin as my gift of apology to you. If you want any other compensation, just ask."
Bai Ruowei, dressed in white, sat opposite him. She glanced at the hairpin in the brocade box in front of her, and her eyes brightened unconsciously.
This nine-treasure hairpin with gold filigree is made of gold filigree, and each pistil is inlaid with nine kinds of gems including ruby, sapphire, emerald, etc. You can tell at a glance that it is of great value!
As the richest man in Sheng State, Ruan Yunbo is never stingy with money.
But what she wanted was much more than that.
Bai Ruowei withdrew her gaze and said sadly, "Third Young Master, do you think that I am just like any other woman, and can be dismissed by giving her some vulgar gifts like gold and silver?"
Ruan Yunbo was stunned. "I haven't thought about it that way."
Bai Ruowei sighed softly, "The Third Young Master knew that Ruowei's greatest wish was to create the long-lost Frost Flower Condensing Fragrance Pills, yet he dealt Ruowei a fatal blow just when she was about to realize her wish."
She glanced at the nine-treasure hairpin with gold filigree and said, "Now, even if the Third Young Master gives me more treasures, what's the point?"
Ruan Yunbo and his sister made her lose face last night, and now they want to get rid of her with just a hairpin?
If you want to apologize, you should at least give her another box of treasures!
Qiu Xin continued, "Third Young Master, you don't know that my young lady didn't sleep all night last night and couldn't even eat. If you really care about my young lady, you should find a way to fulfill her wish."
Ruan Yunbo sighed, "I'm sorry, Ruowei. I can agree with you on everything else, but the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass does have another use."
Bai Ruowei's face suddenly fell.
She looked so sad, but Ruan Yunbo showed no mercy to her at all and quickly handed over the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass to her with both hands!
She twisted her thigh, her eyes reddened as she spoke, "Ruo Wei is obsessed with making incense. Doesn't that seem ridiculous to the Third Young Master?"
Ruan Yunbo sighed. He didn't want to see Bai Ruowei disappointed.
But the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass already belongs to Shengsheng, and Shengsheng also said that if Xie Yan can provide any clues, he will give the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass to Xie Yan for treatment.
Although he was harsh in his words, if his elder brother's demotion had nothing to do with Xie Yan, and Xie Yan had not intentionally harmed Sheng Sheng, then he could not really watch Xie Yan die.
He can still tell what is important and what is not.
Seeing that Ruan Yunbo still hadn't given in, Bai Ruowei wanted to force him again. In short, she had to get the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass!
She was just about to get up and say goodbye, planning to ignore Ruan Yunbo for a few days to let him know how important she was.
But suddenly, he saw from the window a bright and noble girl walking up the stairs. Who else could it be but Ruan Yunsheng?
After she returned home last night, she indeed couldn't sleep most of the night because the plot deviated from the original novel.
According to the original novel, Ruan Yunsheng had died long ago and should not have appeared again!
Unless... she also traveled through time!
She originally wanted to find an opportunity to test Ruan Yunsheng, but she didn't expect Ruan Yunsheng to come to her on his own initiative!
Thinking of this, Bai Ruowei gave Qiu Xin a look without any expression. Qiu Xin understood and quietly walked out.
After a while, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Ruan Yunsheng, dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiled sweetly and said, "Third brother."
"Shengsheng?" Ruan Yunbo stood up and said with a smile, "Why are you out too? Come in and sit down."
Ruan Yunsheng walked in and said, "Third brother is not at home, and I feel bored staying alone, so I thought I would go out for a walk. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
She looked at Bai Ruowei, "Miss Bai is here too."
Bai Ruowei stood up and bowed: "Princess."
Ruan Yunbo said, "Please sit down, it's noon now, let's eat together, Third Brother will treat."
As he spoke, he said to the waiter, "Serve all of your restaurant's best signature dishes."
The waiter quickly agreed and turned around to go out and make arrangements.
Not long after, the door opened again.
The waiter came in with a brand new menu and said with a smile, "We have a new chef who knows some new dishes. They are limited in quantity each day. Would you like me to introduce them to you, my guests?"
Ruan Yunbo nodded and said, "Go ahead."
The waiter cleared his throat and began to read the menu haltingly.
While the waiter was reading the menu, Bai Ruowei was secretly observing Ruan Yunsheng's expression.
She specifically wrote down some drinks such as Sprite and coffee. If Ruan Yunsheng had also traveled through time, he would definitely react when he heard these familiar names!
Fortunately, she had prepared in advance and wrote the menu and handed it to Qiu Xin early in the morning.
Just now Qiu Xin went out to bribe the waiter to read out the menu. This way, she could observe whether Ruan Yunsheng was a time traveler, without exposing her own identity as a time traveler!
However, there was no excitement on Ruan Yunsheng's face. Could it be that she was overthinking it?
After the waiter finished reading the menu haltingly, he asked, "What would you like to eat, gentlemen?"
Ruan Yunbo frowned, "What kind of weird dish names are these? Shengsheng, Ruowei, have you heard of them?"
Bai Ruowei looked at Ruan Yunsheng, "Ruowei doesn't understand either. The princess is knowledgeable and experienced, so she should be able to understand, right?"
Ruan Yunsheng shook his head, obviously not interested.
After the waiter left, Bai Ruowei secretly raised the corners of her lips.
She had previously worried that Ruan Yunsheng had also traveled through time and space, threatening her position as the heroine.
It seems that her worries were unnecessary, as she is still the only female lead holding the script.
Even if Ruan Yunsheng was reborn, her fate would still be a cannon fodder female supporting role!
During the meal, Bai Ruowei said sincerely, "Princess, I really enjoy making incense. I wonder if you could sell me half of the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass? I'm willing to pay the original price."
Having said that, she was certain that Ruan Yunbo would not accept her money.
Even if Ruan Yunsheng took the money, Ruan Yunbo would return it to her double in private!
Ruan Yunbo, this bootlicker, has always been generous with money.
Even if she becomes queen in the future, she will not want to let go of this cash cow.
So, she has been trying her best to hook Ruan Yunbo.
Ruan Yunsheng smiled upon hearing this, "It seems that Miss Bai's Jinxianglou is doing good business. Five hundred thousand taels of silver for only half a Hanxiang Feiyun grass, this price is really tempting."
People who don’t know her would really think that Bai Ruowei is some business genius.
But she had already learned that although Jinxianglou made incense specifically for noble ladies and rich girls, and the price of the spices was not low, there were only so many noble ladies in Shengjing after all, and many of Jinxianglou's spices were sold in limited quantities.
Jinxiang Tower is luxuriously decorated, and with the labor costs and materials used for making perfume, a lot of money is spent every day.
So she did some calculations before coming here, and she was afraid that Jinxianglou's business could only barely cover its expenses.
Bai Ruowei is the concubine's daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. She has a legitimate sister and a legitimate brother, so she will not get much of the family property.
So Bai Ruowei couldn't come up with 500,000 taels!
She was just sure that her third brother would not accept her money and wanted to get something for nothing.
