Shao Yiling's parents' home is two streets away from the Qiao Mansion. It takes about twenty minutes to get there by carriage. This is the mansion that the emperor had newly awarded to the Shao family.

It was to reward Shao Bohang, the old man of the Shao family, for promptly treating a prince of a neighboring country who had suddenly suffered asthma at a banquet of four countries. This made Emperor Dayu very proud, so he specially rewarded him.

"Oh, please give it to me now, please, Third Brother, I beg you, I really need this red ginseng!"

"If you don't give it to me today, I won't leave! Humph!"

As soon as Shao Yiling entered the front yard, she heard Ding Dali's voice and immediately wanted to turn around and run. Why did this old man come? If he saw the thousand-year-old ginseng in her hand, it would annoy her to death.

"Hey! Niece, what's that in your hand? What's that good thing? Can you show it to me?"

Ding Dali had already rushed in front of her, and she couldn't run away even if she wanted to!

"Hello, Uncle Master, haha!"

"There's nothing good to say. Haha, I won't disturb you and my dad from chatting. I'll leave first!" Shao Yiling found an excuse and wanted to run away, but her turning speed was not as fast as Ding Dali's hands.

"Hehehe, give it to me. You are just like your father, stingy. Let me see it. I don't want it!"

Ding Dali raised his hand, snatched the big oil paper bag from Shao Yiling's hand, and ran away quickly.

"Hey, hey, hey, uncle-master, please be gentle. There are thousand-year-old ginseng in here. It's very fresh. Don't knock away my ginseng whiskers!" As soon as Shao Yiling's hands were empty, he knew something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him.

When her father Shao Bohang heard his daughter say this, he hurriedly took a few steps and caught up with his unruly junior brother. This was a thousand-year-old ginseng, which must have been given by Ling'er to honor him, and he couldn't let his junior brother snatch it away.

"Niece, where did you get this ginseng? Tell me quickly!" Ding Dali carefully observed the ginseng in his hand. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the ginseng looked familiar, especially the preservation method. A bold guess suddenly came to his mind.

"This was given to me by my sister-in-law. What's wrong with it? Uncle-master, is there anything wrong with it?" Shao Yiling couldn't help but get nervous when she saw Ding Dali's puzzled expression. She thought there was something wrong with this ginseng!

"If I'm not mistaken, this ginseng is at least a thousand years old, and the price is not low. How could your sister-in-law have such a good thing? Did Wanda embezzle or accept bribes?" Shao Bohang frowned and touched his beard in confusion.

Honglu Temple Minister Wang Da: ??? Someone, come here! Arrest this old man who slandered me!

"Dad, this isn't my biological sister-in-law, but my father-in-law's newly adopted daughter. She gave us a gift. I think this ginseng is very fresh, but I don't know how to prepare it, so I want you to prepare it for me so that I can take it back and keep it!"

Seeing that his father had misunderstood, Shao Yiling quickly explained, "My goodness, he almost accused his brother-in-law of corruption and bribery!"

"Ah! Isn't this a gift for me? You still want to take it away!" Shao Bohang rolled his eyes at his daughter. As expected, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. Alas! He was so happy in vain!

Shao Yiling smiled awkwardly and could only nod to her father. What was her father thinking? This was a thousand-year-old ginseng, and she planned to keep it as a family heirloom. No one could snatch it away, not even her own father!

"Is your father-in-law's new goddaughter surnamed Zhou? Is she from Qingshan Village, Sishui Town, Linhai County? Is she about fourteen or fifteen years old?" Ding Dali thought about it and asked.

"Hey! Uncle Master, how did you know? My sister-in-law is Zhou Sisi. My father-in-law just came back from there and brought several pots of very special-looking orchids. There are no leaves, only flowers. They smell so good!"

Shao Yiling was very puzzled as to how Ding Dali knew so much. Could it be that he knew her sister-in-law?

"Hahaha! I see. Your father-in-law's vision is still as good as ever. He recognized this girl well!"

"Maybe there is more than one ginseng?" Ding Dali asked tentatively, muttering to himself. He knew that this little girl must have some good stuff in her hand. Look, it was true.

"My father-in-law said that my youngest sister gave one to me and my older and younger sisters!" Shao Yiling was very honest and told him everything he knew.

"Brother, niece, I have something to do so I'll leave first! See you later!" When Ding Dali heard Shao Yiling say this, he immediately planned to return to Sishui Town. He wanted to find Zhou Sisi and ask if she still had the thousand-year-old ginseng. He wanted it too!

Shao Bohang looked at his unreliable junior brother, who just ran away. Didn't he just desperately ask him for red ginseng? He didn't want this red ginseng anymore? What's wrong!

Shao Yiling was also very puzzled. What happened to Master? Why did he run away? Did his house catch fire? Was he rushing back to put out the fire?

"Daughter, you said that the orchid your father-in-law brought back had no leaves and was very fragrant. Tell me, what does this orchid look like?"

At the Shao family's side, the father and daughter were talking about the leafless orchid, while the Qiao family's door was about to be knocked through by Wu'an King Song Hancheng!

"Old thief Qiao, come out here!"

"Don't think I don't know you came back secretly, hurry up!"

"If you don't come out, don't blame me for my precious sword not recognizing you! Come out quickly, I want to see what good stuff you brought back!"

How did Wu'an King Song Hancheng know that Qiao Wenyuan was back? That was all thanks to his good granddaughter Song Luoyi. She saw the two Wang brothers running past her in a hurry as if they were being chased by dogs.

Because of the relationship between the two elders, the young ones would fight whenever they met. Today, when they saw her, they acted as if they didn't see her. So Song Luoyi was curious and quietly followed behind the Wang brothers to find out.

When she heard that Qiao Wenyuan had returned, she immediately ran home to tell her grandfather. Her grandfather was so happy that he rewarded her with a whip made of horsetail hair. She was so happy that she almost lost her mind. She decided that she would be her grandfather's exclusive little spy from now on.

Just when Song Hancheng was about to ask his grandson Song Changfeng to kick the door, the door of the Qiao family creaked open from the inside, and Qiao Wenyuan walked out smiling. When he saw him, his smile became even brighter.

"Haha, isn't this our Great Yu, the God of War, King Wu'an? I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please come in!"

"Come, come, this way please!"

"I've asked someone to make your favorite pine needle tea. Come on in, let's have a good chat!"

Song Hancheng was completely confused by Qiao Wenyuan's behavior. He looked up at the sky, then looked down at his arm which was held by Qiao Wenyuan. Could it be that the sun rose from the west today?

Shouldn't this old man have pinched his waist and scolded him for two hours? What happened today? Changed his tactics? He even invited him to drink tea, damn it! This bastard wants to poison me!
