"By the way, big brother, I haven't seen my little sister for a long time. How is my little sister doing in the palace now?"

"Don't worry, she'll be indispensable in your life of luxury."

"That's good. I was a little worried at first, but now I realize those worries were unnecessary."

Xie Changyong laughed and drank the wine glass in front of him.

"By the way, who is the woman who just caused trouble?"

He just heard some noise in the backyard and thought the voice looked familiar, but he didn't go out.

"She is the owner of Baicao Hall. Baicao Cream was invented by her. At the beginning, I just found this business opportunity, but I didn't expect that Baicao Cream would be so popular. So I asked someone to imitate Baicao Cream and make a cream. The price is half the price of hers."

After hearing this, Xie Changming sipped the tea in his cup.

"What is this cream made of?"

Since the price is half that of the real herb cream, the ingredients in it are naturally not that noble.

"It's just some common herbs. There's no difference between applying them on the body and not applying them. However, these common people are greedy for bargains, and they are more willing to buy my cream to build momentum in the city. I have earned several thousand taels of silver this month."

Xie Changyong was complacent, thinking that as long as he had so much money, he could continue to accomplish his great cause.

"Forget it, be careful and don't let anyone find out."

"Yes, don't worry, big brother."

Gu Yunru was in a bad mood and came to Ruyi Inn to have a few drinks with Tingya. When Tingya heard her talk about Baicao Shuang, she suddenly realized, "No wonder I see that the business of Baicaotang seems to be..."

Not wanting to cause her any more trouble, Tingya turned on the phone.

"Don't lose heart. Since this gel cream is sold at half the price of your Herb Cream, the ingredients in it must not be much better. Ordinary people will see through it one day and buy your Herb Cream again."

"Really?"

Gu Yunru had a sad face, and her mood for the day was completely ruined.

"Um."

Tingya looked at Qingfeng who was standing by, and asked him to sit down. She raised her lips and said, "Qingfeng, you have a family now. You can't follow Yunru around anymore."

After these words came out, Gu Yunru and Qingfeng looked at each other awkwardly. Gu Yunru coughed awkwardly and winked at her, "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, haha, just pretend you didn't hear anything. I didn't say anything. Okay, I'll go get you some wine."

Tingya waved the handkerchief in her hand, and her commoner air became stronger and stronger.

"Princess, I found your earring. Qingshuang asked me to give it to you."

Qingfeng's eyes showed some reluctance, but he still obediently returned the earrings to their original owner. Qingxing's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect Qingshuang to find this earring. I searched half of the palace and couldn't find it."

"That's great, the jade is finally returned intact!" Gu Yunru couldn't help but put on the earrings. Tingya also brought two jars of good wine. Gu Yunru was ready to drink to drown her sorrows and think carefully about how to deal with the black-hearted businessman.

"Qingfeng, do you know who that person is?"

Gu Yunru observed Qingfeng all the way and felt that something was wrong. Judging from the way he looked, he should know the man's background.

"I dare not talk nonsense..."

"What's there to be afraid of saying? Just say it." Gu Yunru picked up the pig's ear and stuffed it into her mouth. She felt that the food at Ruyi Inn was especially delicious.

"That man is the young master of the Xie family, his name is Xie Changyong."

Qingfeng confessed everything he knew.

"Xie Changyong, so his name is Xie Changyong. But I heard from the accountant that Sanchuntang was opened with investment from a Persian businessman, right?"

"That's true, but if you want to do business in the city, you need a backer."

"I understand!" Gu Yunru suddenly realized that Xie Changyong's father still had important matters to attend to in the court.

"Wait, what is the relationship between Xie Bingyan and them?"

Gu Yunru made an unexpected discovery.

"The concubine and Xie Changyong are siblings." Qingfeng explained everything.

"No wonder, that's the weird part. My Baicao Cream must have been plagiarized by Xie Changyong, but he refuses to admit it."

Gu Yunru was so angry that her teeth itched, and at this moment, a figure walked in against the sunlight. Her eyes drifted slightly, and when she saw it was Cheng Shaoyuan, she immediately waved to him.

Qingfeng looked at Cheng Shaoyuan who walked in from the door and made room for him.

"I knew you would be in trouble here."

Cheng Shaoyuan came with this heavy news. Gu Yunru was stunned and put down the chopsticks in her hand. "What happened?"

"On the third day after leaving the Ministry of Justice, he was knocked unconscious and thrown into the moat. His body was swollen beyond recognition. After the coroner's examination, it was found that he was knocked unconscious with a wooden stick and then thrown into the moat."

Qingxing looked at Gu Yunru beside her with fear and trepidation; their expressions were surprisingly similar.

"Have you found any suspected murderer or witnesses?" Gu Yunru asked. She was surprised that Zhang San was ambushed as soon as he went out. It seemed that it must have been done by his enemy.

"No, it happened late at night, and Zhang San went to the casino again. No one knew where he went afterwards."

"Gambling house? Could it be that he owed the casino a large sum of money, so he was..." Gu Yunru asked with lingering fear. After all, this was also possible.

"That shouldn't happen. He was lucky in the gambling house and won a lot."

"so……"

Gu Yunru nodded. Tingya smelled gossip at this time. She came forward to ask and found out that Zhang San was already dead.

"Could it be that Zhou Ping who did it?" Ting Ya looked at everyone curiously.

"No, Zhou Ping is in prison." Cheng Shaoyuan directly denied this question.

"How could this happen? I can't imagine who did this, but Zhang San has a lot of enemies." Ting Ya shrugged.

"Zhang San does have a lot of enemies, but it's a bit strange that he was killed as soon as he went out. He owed a large sum of money to the gambling house before, but he was not assassinated. This means that the man was seeking revenge for Xiuniang." Gu Yunru made a bold guess. When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. Qingxing felt a gust of cold wind passing by and shrank her neck unconsciously.

"Princess... stop talking, there is no such a strange thing."

"Who said there isn't one? Let's release Zhou Ping first and have someone observe his whereabouts. Maybe we can get some clues."

Zhang San's death had nothing to do with Zhou Ping, and Xiuniang's death was not necessarily related to Zhou Ping. Besides, Zhou Ping's motive for killing people was not strong enough. On the contrary, Zhang San's death was really weird and strange.
