When Pei Yi went out, he saw Qin Baiwei holding a medicine box and standing at the steps under the porch.

Pei Yi said, "Thank you, sister Wei. Please follow me to the side hall."

Qin Baiwei hadn't seen Pei Yi for many days. When she saw him again, her heart, which had finally calmed down, began to ache again. It was clear that they had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, so why did Brother Yi prefer to be close to the young prostitute and never express any feelings to her?

In the eyes of many people, she could even be called "the most beautiful woman in Kyoto". Could it be that he was really not attracted to her at all?

She followed Pei Yi into the side hall. While taking Pei Yi's pulse, she was thinking about the scar removal cream. She didn't talk too much to Pei Yi, which made Pei Yi relax a lot.

After Qin Baiwei put away the pulse pillow, she asked Pei Yi, "Brother Yi, I heard that Qianyuan Pavilion is the shop of the Crown Prince's Consort, and the scar removal cream there is very effective. I wonder if I can ask the Crown Prince's Consort to buy her formula?"

Pei Yi knew that Xie Zhichan would not sell the formula, but Qin Baiwei was stubborn. Even if he said so, she would not believe it. So he replied, "Qianyuan Pavilion is Ayuan's private property. Ayuan manages the affairs of the shop herself. I never interfere in the affairs of her shop."

Qin Baiwei didn't react at first when she heard the name "Ayuan". She was stunned for a while before she realized who Pei Yi was talking about. Her mind was filled with mixed thoughts. Was Brother Yi so close to the Crown Prince's Consort? He even called her by her nickname.

But what about Brother Yi going to look for the young prostitute? Does he like the Crown Prince's wife or the young prostitute?

Pei Yi didn't know that his meeting with the head of Nanfeng Pavilion would have such an impact on Qin Baiwei. He was worried that Xie Zhichan would misunderstand him, so he didn't plan to stay with Qin Baiwei for any longer. After taking her pulse, he asked Dan Feng to push the wheelchair out of the side hall.

The two walked out of the side hall and when they reached the door of the master bedroom, Yang Zhuoyan and Xie Zhichan had just finished their conversation and walked out of the room.

Qin Baiwei took a look at Yang Zhuoyan and felt that he looked unfamiliar. During the time she lived in Prince Yan's Mansion, she had never seen this person in the Mansion. This person must have come to the Mansion recently.

But what does this person want to discuss with the Crown Prince’s Consort, and why does he need to avoid people?

She remembered that when she came here, Brother Yi was also in the room. The door was closed, and Danfeng and Yueyan were sent to guard the door.

She couldn't help but pay special attention to this person.

When she turned around again, she saw Xie Zhichan pushing Pei Yi into the house, and immediately called her: "Crown Princess——"

Xie Zhichan turned around and asked in confusion, "Miss Qin wants to see me for something?"

Qin Baiwei stood on the porch and said, "I heard that Qianyuan Pavilion is the shop of the Crown Prince's Consort, and the scar removal cream there is very effective. I would like to ask the Crown Prince's Consort if you can give me the formula. I am willing to pay one thousand taels of silver."

She had calculated that although she did not have much cash on hand, the empress dowager had given her a lot of rewards, among which there were several valuable items that did not have the seal of the palace and could be pawned in a pawnshop. It would not be difficult to temporarily raise one thousand taels.

One thousand and two taels of silver to buy a recipe is a pretty good price. Xie Zhichan should agree, right?

Xie Zhichan found it funny. He wanted to buy the formula of her scar removal cream for one thousand taels of silver? Qin Baiwei knew that the scar removal cream contributed more than one thousand taels of profit to her shop every month.

She said calmly, "Miss Qin, the formula is a trade secret. A secret cannot be disclosed to others. Besides, Qianyuan Pavilion is not just mine. The Crown Prince and Young Master Liu also have stakes in it, so I cannot make the decision alone."

After hearing this, Qin Baiwei's face immediately showed an expression of grievance. She turned her head to look at Pei Yi. This expression coupled with her cold and beautiful face really made her look pitiful.

Xie Zhichan also looked at Pei Yi. When Qin Baiwei couldn't see him, he glared at Pei Yi. The hint in his eyes was clear: "Try if you dare to agree!"

Pei Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He felt that A Yuan was the cutest when he glared at people. His pair of doe eyes had no aggression at all. Instead, they looked like a cat acting coquettishly.

He restrained his smile and said to Qin Baiwei, "Sister Wei, regarding the store, Yousi and I are only responsible for the year-end dividend distribution, and the decision is still made by the Crown Prince's Consort. If she doesn't want to, I can't help."

Xie Zhichan choked. He was asked to solve the problem, but he just threw the problem back to himself.

Qin Baiwei just thought that the two of them did it on purpose. She was so angry that her eyes instantly turned red. She was about to cry and said with gritted teeth, "I know."

Xie Zhichan was really impressed when he saw her. With such looks and acting skills, if she were to travel through time thousands of years later, she would definitely be a talented idol.

But there was a stunning beauty in front of her who was acting like a white lotus in front of her man. Even though she knew it was not Pei Yi's fault, she was still so angry that she ignored Pei Yi, turned around and went into the house alone.

Pei Yi saw that Xie Zhichan was angry, so he said to Qin Baiwei, "Sister Qin, if you need scar removal cream, feel free to go to Qianyuan Pavilion to buy it. I can ask the Crown Prince's Consort to give you a 20% discount membership card."

After saying that, he pushed his wheelchair into the house.

Qin Baiwei just stared at Pei Yi's back as he walked away, and watched the door close in front of her eyes. Although the distance was so close, she felt that her brother Yi was getting farther and farther away from her.

The moment she turned to leave, she saw Dan Feng standing at the door again. Thinking of the man she had just seen, she asked casually, "Dan Feng, why did the man who just left look so unfamiliar to me? I don't think I've seen him in Prince Yan's Mansion before?"

Dan Feng had been with Pei Yi since childhood, and was familiar with Qin Baiwei, so he had no defenses against her. Thinking of the compliments of the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince on Yang Zhuoyan, he immediately said, "That Young Master Yang was originally a storyteller in Yonghe Tower. The Crown Prince's wife said that he had good literary talent, so she specially invited him back to help Qianyuan Pavilion write brochures."

Qin Baiwei heard that the man was actually the storyteller from Yonghe Tower. She knew that Yonghe Tower was famous for helping failed candidates. Somehow, she suddenly thought of this year's imperial examination and became even more curious about Yang Zhuoyan.

Mo Ming thought of the recent events in the court again, and many thoughts flashed through her mind. Although it was a mess, her intuition told her that this person did not appear in the Prince of Yan's Mansion for no reason. She immediately returned to the small courtyard where she was staying in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and asked Gan Cao to go out and inquire about a young man named Yang who was the original storyteller in Yonghe Tower.

Because Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan almost had a fight with Yao Jingyu in Yonghe Tower, the owner and waiter of Yonghe Tower were impressed by Yang Zhuoyan and said that he was very lucky. He was a failed candidate in the imperial examination, but unexpectedly, the Crown Princess of Prince Yan's Mansion noticed her abilities and thus she was able to climb up to the Prince Yan's Mansion.

So Gancao found out Yang Zhuoyan's identity as a failed candidate without much effort, and came back to tell Qin Baiwei everything about Yonghe Tower.

Qin Baiwei sat in the room thinking. The Crown Prince's wife brought back a failed candidate from Yonghe Tower. Concubine De got the news and reported it to the Emperor, who then punished the Crown Prince for the imperial examination.

As for how she knew that it was Concubine De who informed the emperor, it was because on the day when the prince was punished to kneel, the empress went to the East Palace in the scorching sun, and got a heat stroke after returning. She was summoned to the palace for treatment, and when she walked to the door, she heard the empress scolding Concubine De for being a snitch.

An idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and she felt as if she had strangled the neck of a poisonous-tongued hunter. She suddenly felt delighted and thought of a way to deal with Xie Zhichan.

He immediately said to Gan Cao, "Get ready. I have to go to the palace today to check the Queen Mother's pulse."

Gan Cao said, "But Miss, aren't you going to the Lu Mansion today to treat the scar on the princess' face?"

Qin Baiwei smiled and said, "Once you enter the palace, you will naturally have a recipe to treat the scars on the princess' face."

Gancao didn't understand, so he had to ask the coachman from Prince Yan's mansion to harness the carriage and follow Qin Baiwei into the palace.
