The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Du Ziheng took a deep breath and narrated solemnly: "Your Highness, I woke up in a daze and saw the elders of Duti Valley and my brothers and sisters from the sect all surrounding me. My head hurt so much that it was about to explode, and I was stunned for a long time."

"Now that I recall it, when I woke up, there were some medicinal residues on my clothes and around my lips. And these residues seemed to be the remains of the missing precious medicinal herbs. Most of the elders and disciples became suspicious and believed that I had stolen the medicine and hid the medical book or secretly gave it to people outside the valley."

"Something is wrong." Yun Mujiu's expression changed slightly. "I checked your brain last time and there was nothing wrong with your brain."

"Some people with mental problems, if they suddenly have an attack, will do things that are not in line with their usual style, and when they wake up, they will remember nothing. Obviously you do not belong to the group of people with mental problems."

Yun Mujiu continued, "That is to say, you wouldn't lose your mind for no reason. You must have suddenly become confused or even completely lost consciousness due to interference from outsiders."

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu looked at each other and made a judgment: "Du Ziheng, since there is nothing wrong with your health, then we will investigate the case from two aspects.

Finally, Youyou said: "Either someone inside Duti Valley framed you, or someone outside Duti Valley. Or both of them joined forces..."

"Your Highness is right." Yun Mujiu glanced at Du Ziheng and continued the conversation. "If someone from Duti Valley did something bad, these outsiders might have sneaked into Duti Valley, or they may have been hiding in the valley for a long time, pretending to be the valley's inhabitants."

Du Ziheng nodded, agreeing with Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu's analysis.

Ye Xiaohan asked, "Does Duti Valley have a registration manual for people entering and leaving the valley?"

Du Ziheng replied: "Yes, but ordinary people in the valley cannot access it. This booklet is managed by someone specially."

Ye Xiaohan said: "It's okay. It's good to have it."

Yun Mujiu gave Du Ziheng a comforting smile and said, "If there is, there is hope."

Du Ziheng looked at Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu with gratitude, and was speechless for a long time.

He had never thought that one day, someone would care about him so sincerely, not only persuading him to clear his grievances, but also trying his best to help him. He was really lucky to meet masters like Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu in this life!

From the back door of the Ye Mansion, an ordinary carriage quietly left.

While in the car, Yun Mujiu was a little curious.

"My Lord, do you really want to leave the palace with me?"

"Ah."

Yun Mujiu was puzzled, "I don't have anything important to do, Your Majesty can just focus on your official duties."

"I'm not busy either." Ye Xiaohan said lightly.

Yun Mujiu raised his eyebrows, not quite believing it.

But when she saw Ye Xiaohan closing his eyes and resting, she stopped talking. What was going on with Ye Xiaohan? Why did he insist on accompanying her?

Soon, the carriage stopped in the backyard of Herb Hall.

Yun Mujiu pushed Ye Xiaohan out of the car. She temporarily put aside her thoughts of guessing what Ye Xiaohan was thinking, and turned her mind to looking forward to her own affairs.

As he was thinking, his feet started to move quickly, pushing the wheelchair.

What she didn't notice was that Ye Xiaohan quietly curled the corners of his lips.

Yun Mujiu brought Ye Xiaohan to the interior of her private clinic and met Wang Gui, Qingxiu and Fu Qian.

The three of them saw Ye Xiaohan again, especially Wang Gui and Qingxiu, who were even more frightened.

They both had more respect for Yun Mujiu, but inevitably felt a little scared of Ye Xiaohan. That was the King of Hell, the Regent, who had been circulated in the capital for many years!

However, Yun Mujiu was very good to them, and they also thought that Yun Mujiu's husband must be a very good person. From Ye Xiaohan's behavior towards Yun Mujiu, it can be seen that Ye Xiaohan really cares about Yun Mujiu.

Thinking of this, Wang Gui and Qingxiu bowed to Ye Xiaohan very respectfully, with a very proper and polite attitude.

"Wang Gui, Qing Xiu, how are your talks with the restaurant and teahouse going?"

Wang Gui leaned forward and said, "Princess, we have reached an agreement. The restaurant is in a hurry to sell, and the price they offered us is very low. The owner of the restaurant is very happy that we are happy, and he even gave us a much lower price."

"Oh?" Yun Mujiu became interested. "How much did it cost?"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver."

Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Yes. The restaurant is in a good location and the layout of the building is acceptable."

"I also think it's worth it. I thought it would cost more than 200,000 taels of silver to buy the restaurant." Yun Mujiu turned around and praised Wang Gui and Qing Xiu: "You did a great job."

Wang Gui smiled and continued, "Princess, I asked the restaurant owner not to dismiss the restaurant's shopkeeper, waiters, and cooks. Do you think we should consider keeping some staff?"

"You've thought it through. I haven't had the chance to tell you yet that if there are available workers in the store you take over, after screening, you can consider allowing qualified personnel to continue working there and sign a contract."

Yun Mujiu thought for a moment and said, "We can keep some of them, which will save us from having to retrain new personnel. But..."

"But," Ye Xiaohan took over and said on behalf of Yun Mujiu, "You must find out the backgrounds of these people. I will send someone to help you find out their backgrounds."

Wang Gui nodded quickly to show that he understood.

Then, Yun Mujiu asked Qingxiu about the teahouse. "How is the teahouse going?"

"My lord, as soon as I went to the teahouse and expressed my intention, the owner of the teahouse immediately agreed. He said that the owner also wanted to sell the teahouse, and we happened to be the first people who were interested in it."

Yun Mujiu smiled slightly. Yesterday, she sent Wang Gui and others to negotiate with the people in the restaurant and teahouse to buy the shop, and specifically told them to disguise themselves so that the people in the restaurant and teahouse would not recognize them as her men.

Now is the early stage of opening a new store, so she should keep a low profile. If other people with bad intentions knew that she was preparing to negotiate a new store, they might tamper with the people working in the new store in advance to get information about her or do something bad to affect her business.

Yun Mujiu asked bluntly: "How much money will it cost to take over the teahouse?"

Fu Qian immediately replied: "At first the shopkeeper said it was 20,000 taels."

"What?" Yun Mujiu was shocked. This is too cheap!

She turned her head and met Ye Xiaohan's equally puzzled eyes, and at the same time she also saw a hint of solemnity in Ye Xiaohan's eyes.

Fu Qian paused and explained, "When I first heard the price, I was also very surprised. The shopkeeper saw that I was scared and explained that the teahouse had not made money for a long time and the owner didn't want it anymore. As long as someone wants to buy the teahouse, just give any price."

Qingxiu continued, "I was also very surprised. I thought the price was too low and I was afraid it was a scam. The shopkeeper explained how difficult it was to run a teahouse and then raised the price to 60,000 taels of silver."

Ye Xiaohan's eyes did not move as he said to Yun Mujiu, "The secret guards reported this morning that the identity of the teahouse's owner is ominous. But there is no problem with the teahouse and the people inside it, so we can take over openly."

Yun Mujiu was shocked. "Is this a big pie falling from the sky, or is there a sweet trap waiting for me to fall into?"

"Or are we lucky and happened to meet a wealthy man who has plenty of money... Or is there a kind-hearted person helping us in secret?"
