The guard imdiately understood the intention of the 13th Prince; it was to deliver a silver note to the Ye family.
In his mind, he thought that if it were to be given anonymously, it would not foster any alliances, but as a guard discussing business, this would also reveal his purpose as a spy.
"I should go myself!" Ye Haohuan felt that he needed to personally et with the housekeeper of the Ye family. It would be even better if the old housekeeper were not present, as he was more eager to et the little girl with the illustrious business portfolio.
"That’s indeed better. Your appearance will make them aware of our support, a step ahead of others!"
Zhao Yufei didn’t believe in doing good deeds without leaving a na; it wasn’t his style. To do certain things for the people and the army, he needed their support!
After Ye Haohuan nodded, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave; it was just a matter of delivering money. He instructed the guard to send so other supplies to their drugstores and properties under their nas.
...
Li Zhihao went out that day and returned at dusk as usual.
His horse was suddenly stopped by a carriage, forcing him to imdiately pull back on the reins. Startled by the abrupt halt, the horse reared, its front hooves raising towards the sky and neighing.
Li Zhihao finally managed to rein in his horse and focused on the luxury carriage, wondering if the obstruction was intentional or accidental.
There weren’t many people on this road. If it was intentional, was it aid only at him and the people with him?
"Brother, why is your carriage blocking the road?"
The driver’s expression was icy as he showed no desire to engage with Li Zhihao, turning to the Princely Heir inside the carriage and said, "Princely Heir, do you wish to see this man?"
"Hmm, let him lead the way; let’s pay a visit to the Ye family!" Ye Haohuan initially wanted to et Li Zhihao alone to discuss matters.
He was also very curious about the little girl who owned the house, wanting to see for himself who this extraordinary person was and what was so remarkable about her.
"Yes," the driver turned back to Li Zhihao and said:
"Steward, the Heir of Marquis Yongbo’s Mansion wishes to visit your residence. Please, lead the way!"
Li Zhihao... The Heir of Marquis Yongbo, what kind of prestigious figure was this?
Why would they want to visit their ho? How should he handle things with Housekeeper Ye not around?
Seeing the circumstances, he didn’t know if they were friend or foe; could it be that he was about to lead a wolf into their ho?
"Brother, what business does the Heir of Marquis Yongbo have visiting our ho? You can tell ; we only have so
girls at ho, and it’s not convenient to welco outside n!"
Li Zhihao was under pressure, there were indeed precious daughters at ho, and having n enter the house without the old housekeeper present was indeed troubling, especially now that it was nearly dark.
"Why all the nonsense? Aren’t you a man too? Our Heir of Marquis Yongbo wishes to visit your ho. As a guest to your residence, we are bestowing honor upon you; don’t be ungrateful."
The driver spoke arrogantly, and at that mont, they couldn’t tell where another horseman who appeared so suddenly had co from as if from the heavens.
Li Zhihao... With so many of you, why do you seem like robbers?
I’ve already refused; don’t you know it’s proper to visit during the day and what may co from visiting a house full of young ladies at night?
"Brother, it’s really not convenient at ho; how about you co again tomorrow?"
The driver and the guards glared: "Is this like haggling over vegetables at the market?"
Ye Haohuan, inside the carriage, could feel Li Zhihao’s courage to refuse, borne purely from an elder’s protective love for his kin.
If it weren’t necessary to et those girls, visiting strangers, especially won, at their ho was indeed a bit impolite.
He drew back the curtain of the carriage and said to Li Zhihao, who was in a difficult position:
"Steward Li, do not be nervous. My visit to your house will benefit you; it is to discuss a significant business deal with you."
Li Zhihao... You know my surna? Have you already investigated us?
He saw that the other party was a handso young man with a jade-like appearance, not detecting any evil or slyness on this person’s face.
Li Zhihao felt slightly relieved, since it was about business, he gathered the courage to go through with it. In order to pay off the debts he had borrowed, he was willing to take the risk and do business with soone he didn’t know.
"Fine, you can co to my house, but you cannot et my other nieces. Only the youngest one can chat behind a screen."
Li Zhihao did not know if this person would co with others to kill soone; one could not always tell good from evil just by looking at soone’s face.
Those nieces who were grown up, of course, could not be shown to other n.
The heir of Marquis Yongbo, Ye Haohuan... Why does it seem like he’s guarding against thieves, as if guarding against a womanizer?
"Fine."
Li Zhihao took Ye Haohuan, the heir of Marquis Yongbo’s Mansion, and his group of people back to the mansion.
He imdiately sent out a ssage that normally, when family mbers returned to their old ho, he would eat dinner with his nieces every night.
Today, with the addition of an outsider male, he sent a ssage, instructing those nieces not to co to the main hall.
Only the youngest niece was allowed, since it was necessary for her to appear for the business negotiation.
As evening approached and it was ti for dinner, Ye Luoqi and her two younger sisters, along with maids and old won, were making quilts and so handicrafts.
A ssage was sent to them, telling them not to co to the main hall for dinner.
The sisters had no choice but to ask their maids and the old won to dine separately, while the three sisters dined together.
Ye Shiqi was alone in her own courtyard, her maids had been assigned to her older sister to work together, so she closed her door and stayed alone in her room.
No one knew what she was doing alone in her room.
Ye Shiqi was not idle; Li Zhihao had sent dicinal materials to the warehouse, and she used her mind to transport these materials into the space.
Having closed the room door, she was making dicine every day. Without modern equipnt, she could only make dicine in the ancient way. Suddenly, she had beco a female dicine apprentice, separating the materials into different recipes based on their components.
She then needed to grind them down and form them into granules, using very ancient tools such as a millstone, a cutting knife, and for steaming and boiling.
She went through one process after another.
Ye Shiqi had never made dicine before, neither liquid forms nor granules.
Following the recipes and components carefully, she found the trials challenging; every piece of equipnt was difficult to handle.
These tools were all procured with the help of Li Zhihao, and her dicine-making had to be kept secret from everybody else, so she could only work in the space by herself.
However, the water she added to every batch of dicine was the "Space Water." Regardless of whether the dicinal materials were effective, the addition of Space Water would ensure the effectiveness of the batch of dicine she made.
There weren’t many dicines in this batch: anti-inflammatory and hemostatic dicine, anesthesia, and cold dicine.
For her to make just these three kinds of dicine alone was truly not easy.
She made about 1,000 granules of the anti-inflammatory and hemostatic dicine, 1,000 granules of cold dicine, and approximately 500g of anesthesia in liquid form.
Excluding the wasted dicinal materials, Li Zhihao’s purchases were entirely used up by her.
Lacking modern instrunts, she could only produce them according to the thods in the dical Book provided by the Great King, purely consisting of Chinese dicinal components without a single additive.
Locked in her room for three whole days, aside from normal als, she was constantly researching.
As a result, a unique scent of dicine lingered on her body.
