After hearing this, Li Mingxia withdrew his hand that had already touched the red cloth.

She looked solemn, and her tone was no longer polite and humble. "I don't understand some of what this maid said. I just came out to set up a stall to do business. Brother Yusheng got the order from your young master Mu to come to my place to buy things. Can we not say a word? If this means thinking about him all the time, then does the chef in the restaurant have to be thought about a hundred times a day? Although I am a country girl, I also know that a woman's reputation is precious. Young master Mu is kind-hearted and I think he can understand our difficulties. Don't blame me for offending this maid."

When Hua Luo started to say those words, Mu Ye's brows were already furrowed. He never thought that Hua Luo was a gossiper in the past, so what happened today?

"Why are you so talkative today? Why don't you step back!" Mu Ye scolded coldly.

The maid at the side hurried forward and took the tray from Hua Luo's hand. She seemed to have not expected that Li Mingxia would dare to refute her, and she had not expected that the young master would humiliate her in front of everyone for a country girl. It was not until her hands lightened and the red cloth on the tray was lifted by the maid, and the bright silver light reflected in the sun dazzled her eyes that she reacted, held back her tears, bowed, and retreated.

Li Mingxia took a look at the silver on the tray, which was about one hundred taels, neatly stacked on it, emitting an attractive luster.

I forgot who said it, but human beings' love for gold and silver is written into their DNA. This statement is really true.

This was the plan that Li Mingxia mentioned. She had been in contact with Yu Sheng for quite some time, and she could roughly guess the character of this young master from his behavior. It was certain that he was extremely rich, and she was certain that this young master would not take advantage of her for nothing, so she took the initiative to mention giving him the prescription that day.

In fact, there was a moment when Li Mingxia really wanted to take the money and leave. This was indeed her original plan, but now she had other ideas.

"Since you said it's a gift for Young Master Mu, you can't accept Young Master Mu's money." Li Mingxia turned his eyes away from the silver and spoke in a light voice.

Mu Ye waved his hands, his patience seemed to have run out. Just as he was about to say something, Li Mingxia spoke first.

"But I know that if I don't want anything, Young Master Mu will not accept my prescription. I do have an unreasonable request, and I hope Young Master Mu can fulfill it." Li Mingxia knew that he did not have many opportunities to speak, and he could not continue to beat around the bush.

Mu Ye glanced at Yu Sheng and saw that his face was full of fear. Then he looked at Li Mingxia with some impatience in his eyes.

Over the years, there were countless women who wanted to curry favor with him, but she was so naive that she thought she could enter the mansion with just a pastry recipe. How stupid!

"Tell me about it?" Mu Yi looked at Li Mingxia mockingly.

"I would like to ask Master Mu to give me the seeds of these two fruits. Also, if possible, I would like to have some more seeds of vegetables and fruits. Anything is fine, the more the better." Li Mingxia pointed at the watermelon and peaches on the table with sparkling eyes!

Mu Ye's hand touching the teacup trembled, and he blinked, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

What did she want? Seeds? Fruit seeds? Oh, and vegetable seeds, but these things are worth a hundred taels of silver? Was she playing hard to get or had some other purpose?

"Do you know these two fruits?" This was the reason why Mu Ye didn't quite believe Li Mingxia. The watermelon could be barely explained, perhaps this girl had been to the provincial capital before and heard others talk about it, but the peach was not a fruit here, and he also spent a lot of money to get two baskets. How could Li Mingxia, a country girl, know about it?

"Peach, Watermelon, I know them all." Li Mingxia said confidently, "Master Mu, is this okay?"

After hearing Li Mingxia actually call out the names of these two fruits, Mu Ye's suspicions were mostly gone.

"If you need other vegetable seeds, I'll ask Yu Sheng to find them for you later. You can take this silver as well, but this fruit can't be grown here, so it's useless even if you take it."

After hearing these words, Li Mingxia's impression of Mu Ye really improved a lot. He really said these words for her own good, but Li Mingxia had her own plans. She must get the seeds of these two fruits!

"Please help me, Master Mu."

Seeing that she insisted on doing so, Mu Ye agreed even though he didn't know why.

"I'll give you fifty taels of silver. Yu Sheng will take care of the rest. I have something else to do. You take Miss Li out." Mu Ye obviously had no desire to continue the conversation. He settled the matter with just one sentence and sent the guest away.

Li Mingxia was of course happy to have gotten what he wanted and to have so much silver to take. Naturally, he would not be so hypocritical as to say he would not accept it. Wouldn't that make him a fool?

After Yu Sheng took Li Mingxia out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was really nervous just now. Fortunately, Li Mingxia didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.

"Just wait here, I will bring you what you want in a while. Don't walk around." Yu Sheng handed a plain purse to Li Mingxia, and inside it was the fifty taels of silver.

Li Mingxia took out ten taels of silver and gave it to Yu Sheng. Although money is good, sometimes we should not forget from whom we earned the money.

"If you don't take it, I will really feel guilty." Li Mingxia said seriously.

Yu Sheng paused, took out a five-liang silver ingot, "It was just a casual remark, nothing else. These days, the young master has given me a lot because I did a good job. Now I have received your five liang, which is already a windfall. I can't afford to take more. Wait here, I'll be back soon."

Li Mingxia did not hesitate and put the remaining five taels back into the bag and nodded in agreement.

Yu Sheng came back in just two quarters of an hour. He first handed a cloth bundle to Li Mingxia, "The vegetable seeds, fruit seeds, watermelon and peach seeds you asked for are all in it. I counted them and there are about a dozen kinds, and this." Yu Sheng also stuffed the oil paper bag in his other hand to Li Mingxia, "This is the white flour cake made by my mother. It tastes very good. Our young master said it's good. Take it back and have a taste."

Li Mingxia was delighted as he held the pile of rapeseed and fruit seeds. He happily took the bag of white flour cake, thanked Yu Sheng, and left the Mu Mansion.

They went back in the same carriage they took when they came. Li Mingxia touched the things in his arms again and again, his excitement beyond words.
