"Why is Xiao Ningbi so happy? Has something good happened?" Doctor Xie couldn't help but smile when he saw Leng Yi enter the room with a cheerful expression.

On the contrary, something terrible happened that shook Fengxianglou. Doctor Xie was oblivious to the news and didn't know. Indeed, the herbal medicine hall was as peaceful and idyllic as a paradise.

It was a paradise discovered by only her.

Leng Yi grinned and said, "Being able to see Aunt Fang is the best thing ever!"

"Aunt Fang, when did she come here? I'm afraid she's gotten into trouble again." A boy's voice, sounding unwell, drifted from the room. Yin Jiu walked out of the room looking sleepy, as if her afternoon nap had been disturbed.

"What you're saying has absolutely nothing to do with me this time," Leng Yi said unhappily.

"Oh? Did something really happen?" Yin Jiu suddenly asked with interest, her eyes sparkling.

Leng Yi paused, unsure whether she should tell Doctor Xie and Yin Jiu. She didn't want them to know about Zhuoyu Pavilion, though she didn't know why.

After careful consideration, I decided to tell him everything I had heard. As I spoke, I observed Doctor Xie's expression. Sure enough, after a brief moment of surprise, Doctor Xie became increasingly silent, revealing a complex sadness.

"I didn't expect Yunqiu to have reached this point so quickly..."

"Aunt Fang, what did you say?" Doctor Xie said something in a voice so soft that Leng Yi didn't hear it clearly, so she asked.

"It's nothing, I'll go grind the herbs now." Doctor Xie returned to her pharmacy with a worried look on her face.

Leng Yi remained silent. Doctor Xie clearly knew some inside information, which only intensified her curiosity.

What exactly does Yunqiu want to do? What is her purpose in going to such lengths to get close to the second son of the Duke's mansion?

As an outsider, she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. Suddenly, she turned to Yin Jiu with a hint of annoyance and said, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

Yes, Yin Jiu's reaction after listening to the whole thing was too calm. She still looked lazy and sleepy as she sat down at the table to make tea.

Hearing Leng Yi's question, he raised his deep black eyes to look at her, his tone nonchalant, "Why should I be surprised?"

Leng Yi murmured softly, then thought about it and realized it made sense; Yun Qiu and Yin Jiu were completely unrelated. She had only asked this question because she wanted to find someone who shared her thoughts, but Yin Jiu was clearly not the right person.

"Is there anything else wrong with your eyes?" Yin Jiu asked while pouring tea.

Leng Yi sat down opposite him and said, "Sometimes it still stings a little."

"Avoid prolonged use of your eyes; your eyes can't withstand much strain right now."

"Ok."

Leng Yi obediently responded, resting her chin on her hands as she watched Yin Jiu brew tea. Her chubby cheeks looked adorable, and her large, azure eyes were like a lake reflecting the sky.

Soon the water boiled, and the aroma of tea filled the air, as if it could imbue the empty moments with fragrance.

It must be said that even though Yin Jiu was wearing a gray-brown cotton coat, his words and actions inadvertently revealed the temperament of a young master. His tea-making etiquette was no worse than hers, who practiced every day. Moreover, he was quiet now, and his eyebrows and eyes were even more handsome and upright.

She never thought Yin Jiu was an ordinary medicine boy, and out of respect, she didn't pry into his background. However, everyone in Fengxiang Tower had secrets. Leng Yi could resist probing into him, but she couldn't help but pry into the backgrounds of others.

She decided to go to Yujiexuan to gather intelligence.

Leng Yi was always a woman of action. After enjoying a moment of quiet and leisure, she tiptoed to Yun Qiu's Jade Steps Pavilion. Why tiptoe? Because she was going to be a little thief. The thought of eavesdropping in the corner seemed foolish, but she inexplicably wanted to do it.

She had only been at the Jade Steps Pavilion for a short time when she saw someone rushing towards her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the person was Wang Yiqing.

Leng Yi quickly hid in a corner; her timing was too perfect!
