"Old man with the white beard, I'm thinking of making something out of what he left me. Grandfather, how much silver do we have in our household?" Jin Shuai asked, pointing to his head.

"I have a little over ten thousand strings of cash, is that enough? If not, I'll send some more from the kilns back home," the old man replied after a moment's thought.

"A kiln? A kiln that fires what?" Jin Shuai continued to ask with great interest.

"Firing all kinds of porcelain. Looking at you like this, it seems you've truly forgotten quite a few things." The old man sighed softly, remarking with emotion.

"Could you send a few more skilled craftsmen? I plan to make some special items!" Jin Shuai asked expectantly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Could it be that all of these were bestowed upon you by that immortal?" The old man couldn't help but wonder and asked again.

"Yes, there are a lot left, but we have to deal with them one by one," Jin Shuai replied with a smile.

The old master summoned Steward Jin and told him that from now on, unless he needed money, he could just ask Steward Jin for whatever Xi-ge'er needed. After Steward Jin agreed, Jin told the old master to go back and rest, and then he went back to rest as well.

After storming out of Lady Wei's place, Sheng Hong rushed straight to Wang Ruofu's residence. Without even a greeting, he barked at Wang Ruofu, demanding, "What's going on in the kitchen? How dare they humiliate Lady Wei like this!" Wang Ruofu was taken aback by the sudden question and didn't know how to answer.

Before Wang Ruofu could react, Sheng Hong launched into a tirade, beating her until she was red-faced and furious. Already quick-tempered, she couldn't take such criticism and was about to argue with Sheng Hong. Just then, the matriarch, seeing the situation escalating, quickly and cleverly interjected, "Master, please calm down! Our mistress has been busy worrying about Hualan's marriage lately, and the kitchen affairs have long been handled by Lin Qinshuang!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu exchanged a glance, then went together to Lin Qinshuang's residence to confront her. Seeing Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu arrive to interrogate her, Lin Qinshuang felt a little flustered, but her face remained expressionless. She quickly lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, and soon squeezed out a few glistening tears, sobbing softly, "Master, I'm innocent! The monthly allowances are all meticulously recorded. Since Lady Wei became pregnant, I've taken extra care of her, not only giving her extra portions each month, but even paying out of my own pocket to buy her various nourishing supplements! I only care about harmony within the household; how could I deliberately shortchange her?" As she spoke, she raised her tear-filled eyes, looking pitifully at Sheng Hong, her charming appearance evoking pity.

Sheng Hong was momentarily speechless. Just then, Lin Qinshuang's maidservant reminded him, "Was it embezzled by the servants?"

Sheng Hong and Madam Wang exchanged a glance and summoned their servants to investigate the matter thoroughly. Just then, a servant rushed in and reported that Sheng Changbai had been beaten. Sheng Hong and Madam Wang had sent people to search for their son all over Yangzhou. It wasn't until dark that they finally found the beaten Sheng Changbai. Sheng Hong angrily reported the incident to the authorities and immediately ordered the city to be sealed off. He vowed to find the culprit, even if it meant turning Yangzhou upside down. But all they found was a disappointment.

The following day, Prefect Liu arranged for a large-scale manhunt for Bai Ye to begin in Yangzhou.

Xiaodie was falsely accused of finding money in her pillow. Sheng Hong was already troubled by his son's situation, so he simply told her to get out and ignored her.
