"I would like to go and listen to you sisters sing, but I have something important to do, so I won't delay you sisters from doing business."

Ye Jintang deliberately changed her voice. She wanted to have a cold and boyish voice, but when she opened her mouth, it was still warm and soft, without any deterrent effect.

Mother Shen stood in front of her and tried to force her to go to the teahouse to listen to music.

"Master, why are you here?"

Zhou Wuwei walked quickly from not far away and stood directly between Mother Shen and Ye Jintang.

"Hey, here comes another young master."

Mother Shen was about to praise Zhou Wuwei, but the words got stuck in her throat before she could even utter them.

Suddenly, when Zhou Wuwei gave her a chilling look, Mother Shen shuddered for no apparent reason and chose to shut up and stop talking.

The young man in black in front of her looked like someone who was not to be trifled with, and she really doubted whether she would be beaten.

"Master, please come this way. I have something to give to you."

"How did you get here? I was thinking of shopping for a while and then I'll go to the warehouse to wait for you."

"Dongyu Town is very small. I will find the master after walking around here."

Is Dongyu Town small? Why does it feel quite big to her? She just walked around for a long time and didn't even leave the market street.

There were many people walking on the street, and the snow that had fallen yesterday was quickly trampled into pieces, making everything muddy. Ye Jintang's clothes were covered with mud spots before he had walked far.

She thought to herself that when she got to Ningchuan Prefecture, she would ask the people there to repair the roads properly. These dirt roads were a nightmare after rain and snow.

The two soon arrived next to the warehouse, where a large carriage with six large boxes was parked.

"Are all these things in this car for me?"

"These are things that Madam Zhang and Madam Liu prepared for the young lady. The New Year is coming soon, and the two madams were afraid that the young lady would suffer in the White Horse Temple, so they asked me to bring more things."

Ye Jintang felt warm in his heart when he looked at the carriage full of things.

Did they think she came to the White Horse Temple to suffer?

"Go back and tell the two maids that I accept their kindness."

"The old lady may have touched the vault while I was away."

"It was touched, but the people on the old lady's side were very careful. When they touched the vault, the old lady's yard was locked and no one was allowed in."

"I wanted to climb over the wall, but the yard was full of maids and servants patrolling, so I couldn't get in."

Ye Jintang thought to himself, Old Madam Ye is really vigilant. It seems that she has a lot of good things in her vault.

"Now that we know the vault is in Fushouyuan, it's a bit of progress. You can continue to keep an eye on it and see if you can find some useful clues."

"Come back the day after tomorrow to get the herbs, but don't come before the New Year."

"After the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, our herbal medicine shop will open."

"Yes, I've made note of it."

The two talked for a long time, and when Zhou Wuwei lowered his head, he found Xuetuan squatting at Ye Jintang's feet.

"Oh my god, Xuetuan, why are you here?"

Zhou Wuwei squatted down in surprise, trying to confirm whether the big white cat in front of him was the snowball they threw.

"I almost forgot to ask you, how many days has the snowball been missing?"

"Please forgive me, Master. Two days ago, Aunt Liu wanted to give Xuetuan a bath so that she could have a beautiful New Year's Eve. But when Xuetuan saw the water, he struggled desperately and rushed out of the house. He disappeared in a few seconds."

"People in our courtyard almost turned the mansion upside down but couldn't find Xuetuan. When I came to deliver something to the master today, Madam Liu told me not to let it slip because she was afraid that the young lady would be sad because of losing Xuetuan."

"Please don't punish Aunt Liu, she is just being kind, thinking that the young lady is not at home, so she must take good care of Xuetuan. When the young lady returns home, she will be happier to see the plump and white Xuetuan."

"Since Xuetuan went missing, Aunt Liu has hardly slept for the past two days. She has been looking for Xuetuan day and night. There was a snowstorm yesterday, and Aunt Liu wore a straw raincoat and searched outside for half an afternoon. When she returned home, her shoes were all frozen."

"Go back and tell Aunt Liu that Xuetuan is with me, and ask her to stop blaming herself."

Ye Jintang was not the kind of master who would be harsh on his servants. When Nanny Liu gave Xuetuan a bath, she did not expect that Xuetuan would be so resistant.

Suddenly an idea appeared in Ye Jintang's mind.

"Wuwei, does everyone in the Marquis' Mansion know that my Xuetuan is missing?"

"Yes, everyone in our courtyard has been searching for Xuetuan in the mansion for two days. Even the old lady knows that we lost Xuetuan."

"That's good. When you go back, go to the old lady's yard from time to time under the pretext of looking for Xuetuan. You may find some clues about the vault."

Zhou Wuwei's eyes clearly lit up.

"Why didn't I think of this?"

"It's not too late to go back and look for it now. There are many things going on in the mansion at the end of the year. Maybe the items in the old lady's vault will be used. Just keep an eye out for them."

"Yes, I will be very alert and visit the old lady's Fu Shou Yuan whenever I have the chance."

After things in the town were settled, Ye Jintang and Zhou Wuwei strolled around the town and ate a bunch of snacks. Zhou Wuwei then drove the carriage and personally sent Ye Jintang back to the White Horse Temple.

When Ye Jintang went down the mountain in the morning, the road was still very slippery. When the two returned to the White Horse Temple in the afternoon, the snow on the mountain road had already been trampled flat by pilgrims.

Ye Jintang, who was sitting in the carriage, was amazed. The people of Tianqin Kingdom really liked to visit temples. No matter whether they were men or women, young or old, rich or poor, they would try their best to come to the temple to burn incense before the New Year.

Ye Jintang lived a very leisurely life in the White Horse Temple. He practiced Eight-Section Brocade every day, read medical books, and planted various medicinal herbs in the space. His life was extremely comfortable.

Another day passed, and Liuli finally finished making the Jade Face Cream and Pregnancy Pills.

"How do I use this jade cream?"

In a small round porcelain box, there is a ball of white paste that looks like lard.

Ye Jintang took it to his nose and sniffed it, and it had a very distinct smell of Chinese medicine.

"The Jade Cream is a good thing. Using it on your face all year round can delay aging. However, we are both a little young, so it would be a bit of a waste to use it now."

"Who said that? Let's start paying attention to the issue of aging from now on. Maybe when we have children and grandchildren, we won't have any wrinkles on our faces."

"But now we can find someone to help us test the effect."

As he spoke, Ye Jintang turned his head to look at Nanny Lou who was roasting sweet potatoes for the two of them.

Aunt Lou is not young. Not only does she have wrinkles all over her face, but she also has many freckles.

If the Jade Cream is effective for her, she can close her eyes and let Liuli make the Jade Cream in the future.

The thing that the noble ladies in the capital city have no shortage of is silver. Even if this small piece of his is sold for 1000 taels of silver, there will be ladies who will buy it.

"Wouldn't it be a waste to give it to Madam Lou?"

Liuli was a little reluctant because the Yurong Cream was filled with precious medicinal herbs.
