In the teahouse, the air is filled with the scent of sandalwood and the sound of piano is melodious.

Song Wanyin and Xiao Jingheng sat by the window, separated by a carved wooden table, looking restrained.

Outside the window, people were hurrying on the street, hawkers were calling out one after another, and many children were chasing and playing while holding candied haws.

Tiancheng skillfully brewed tea in a purple clay teapot. The pot was surrounded by hot steam and exuded a faint tea fragrance.

"Miss, sir, please have some tea."

Song Wanyin took a sip, the aroma of tea overflowed, a warmth spread throughout her body, and a faint fragrance lingered between her lips and teeth.

"Brother, how did you know I was in the shop?"

Xiao Jingheng put down the teacup, smiled and said:

"What a coincidence, I happened to pass by there, and saw a beautiful figure that looked very much like you, so I was sure it was you.

I didn't expect you to manage these shops yourself. Why don't you just leave it to the shopkeepers?"

Sweet Orange said very perceptively:

"You may not know, sir, but my daughter got some dragon bone blood from a merchant from the Western Regions, and she asked Manager Zhao to send someone to deliver it to your house."

Xiao Jingheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he said in disbelief:

"Dragon bone blood? This is a precious and rare medicinal ingredient.

You are in urgent need of dragon bone blood. If you give it to me, what will you do?"

Song Wanyin smiled and said:

“It’s okay. I’ve already reached an agreement with the merchants from the Western Regions. They plan to cooperate with me for a long time, so it won’t be difficult for them to provide me with dragon bone blood.

On the contrary, you, Senior Brother, have been weak since childhood, so you should take dragon bone blood to replenish your body."

Xiao Jingheng was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He drank three cups of tea in one breath, but accidentally choked.

"Cough cough cough."

Seeing that he was choking, Song Wanyin asked with concern:

"Brother, are you okay?"

Xiao Jingheng covered his mouth, turned his back and coughed, waved his hand and said:

"It's okay. I just drank too quickly."

Tiancheng saw through his thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

When the Grand Tutor was still a student, he was often close to his master, and they could be said to be childhood sweethearts.

She had hoped so much that her master and the tutor could have a happy ending, but unfortunately, fate played tricks on them.

Song Wanyin returned to preaching:

"Brother, you just said you had something to talk to me about, what is it?

After all, I am now married and it is not appropriate for me to stay outside for too long."

Xiao Jingheng took a long time to relax before he stopped coughing. He frowned and said:

"Since you told me about the remnants of the rebellion last time, I have reported to His Majesty and started planning to wipe out these remnants of the rebellion in one fell swoop."

Having said that, he glanced at Jing Mo and Huai Xi who were guarding the door. They immediately understood what he meant and closed the door.

Song Wanyin said seriously:

"Then when are you going to take action?"

Xiao Jingheng thought for a moment and said:

"Don't worry, we have already fully grasped the movements of the rebel leader, and he has already fled outside the city.

But I have already set up a tight net outside the city, I don't think he can escape from my grasp.

I came to you today to remind you of something."

Song Wanyin had expected that he would be very efficient, and asked doubtfully:

"Brother, please speak."

Xiao Jingheng lowered his voice and said:

“I sent people to follow the rebel leader while also trying to protect your safety.

According to spies, there have been thieves sneaking around outside the Marquis's mansion recently, as if they are monitoring your every move.

You must be more careful when traveling from now on."

Song Wanyin was not panicked. Everything was as expected. As long as the mastermind behind the scenes was not eliminated, she would be in danger.

"Brother, I have a plan."

When Xiao Jingheng saw her waving, he leaned over slightly and listened attentively to her ideas.

The look on his face changed from confusion to shock, and then to surprise. He nodded repeatedly to show his agreement:

"Great, great, little sister, a tiger father will have a dog daughter, I will do as you say."

The next day, in the Green Bamboo Garden, the scent of sandalwood wafted through the air. Song Wanyin leaned on a soft pearwood carved couch, flipping through the account book.

Early in the morning, she asked Tiancheng to go out and find a girl who looked somewhat similar to herself, and once she found a suitable candidate, she should bring him to meet her immediately.

At this time, Tiancheng walked in with a little girl about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Girl, the person is here."

Song Wanyin put down the account book and looked her up and down. She found that her appearance and figure were quite similar to hers. She said gently:

"Look up so I can have a good look."

It was the first time the little girl saw the mistress of the marquisate. She was so nervous that she didn’t know what to do. She raised her head tremblingly, and her little face was like a ripe fruit.

"Cui, Cui'er pays respect to the mistress of the Marquis's house."

Song Wanyin's eyes lit up, and she found that this little girl was very pretty, and her features were very similar to her past self, so she comforted her:

"Your name is Cui'er, right?

Don't be nervous. I asked you to come here today because I want you to do me a favor.

After the task is completed, I will reward you generously."

Cui Er's heart trembled when she heard this, and she said timidly:

"It's not like Cui'er is helping. She does whatever the mistress of the Marquis's family wants her to do.

Cui Er just wanted to earn some money to go back and hire a doctor for her seriously ill father and support her younger brother.

Song Wanyin was very pleased with this, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she said:

"In consideration of your filial piety, I promise to cure your father's illness and ensure that you and your family will never have to worry about food and drink in the future.

However, this is a dangerous matter, are you afraid?"

Cui Er shook her head and said firmly:

"Tui Er is not afraid. In comparison, Tui Er is more afraid of losing her family."

Song Wanyin nodded, turned to Tiancheng and said:

"Groom her and carry out the plan."

After an incense stick of time, Tiancheng led his new master out of the Marquis's Mansion and took a carriage to the shop under his name.

Just as he got off the carriage and hadn't taken two steps, seven or eight figures suddenly descended from the sky, put a sack on the new master and ran away without saying a word.

Tian Cheng was so frightened that he screamed in the street:

"Ah! Help! Someone is being robbed on the street!"

For a moment, the streets seemed to be in chaos, and pedestrians were trying to avoid it.

Hiding in the dark, Xiao Jingheng took in the whole scene and gave an order:

"Huai Xi, take a team of men to chase after them and make sure the hostages are safe."

Huai Xi took the order and took a few top masters with him, using their lightness skills to catch up.

Xiao Jingheng stuck his head out, looked back, and found a carriage parked at the corner, with a slight smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, the obedient little rabbit has now turned into a cunning little fox.

No longer worried that she would be bullied.

Tiancheng rolled and crawled onto the carriage at the corner. He was so frightened that he was sweating all over and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

"Girl, it's done. Those remnants of the rebels were too fast and didn't notice any flaws."

Song Wanyin sat upright in the carriage, holding a purple clay teapot in his hand. This trick was enough to lure the tiger away from the mountain and the snake out of its hole.

I would like to see who is the mastermind behind this?
