Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Upon hearing the young master's order, the two maids rushed over like startled birds and carried Yunshang into the Yun residence like a chick.

"You dog servants, let me go! Let me go now, or I won't let you get away with this!" Yunshang hadn't even recovered from her elder brother's angry rebuke when she was lifted up by her maid. She could only struggle and scream!

"Miss, let's hurry home!" Although the maid was also afraid of this hot-tempered young lady, compared to the young master, the young lady's power was like a cat scratch—far weaker. After Yunshang was driven away by the maid, Mu Nan drove the carriage away like a gust of wind.

"Is there anything you want to ask me?" Mu Nan asked softly, looking at his silent wife beside him.

"Hmm, no, didn't you already tell me everything?" Wang Qing'er really had nothing to ask. She already knew that Mu Nan had an ex-wife. Just now, seeing his attitude towards that woman, even a blind person could see how much Mu Nan hated that woman.

"Qing'er, thank you, thank you for trusting me so much." Mu Nan's voice was full of gratitude, as if Wang Qing'er was a ray of light in his darkness.

"Brother Mu Nan, we are husband and wife. Husband and wife should trust each other. Besides, as the old saying goes, 'When husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break metal.' We will definitely get better and better." Wang Qing'er's words were like a warm spring, flowing into Mu Nan's heart.

"Good, when husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break metal!" Mu Nan held Wang Qing'er's hand tightly, as if their hands were an indestructible sword.

"Brother Mu Nan, where are we going now?" Wang Qing'er knew nothing about this county town.

"Okay, let's go to the inn first, park the carriage properly, then I'll take you to see someone and ask about the price of He Shou Wu. If it's reasonable, we'll sell it."

"it is good."

Mu Nan drove the carriage slowly to the front of an inn called Yuelai Inn. The waiter at the door greeted her with a smile as warm as the spring sun, "Sir, are you looking for a place to stay?"

"Please help me park the carriage, feed the horses, and give us a superior room."

"okay!"

Mu Nan carried two bundles and led Wang Qing'er into the inn. After checking them in, the waiter led them to their room. "Gentlemen, please rest well. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."

"Thank you, waiter." Mu Nan saw the waiter off and then gently closed the door.

Wang Qing'er carefully examined the not-so-spacious room. Although the furnishings were simple, it was extremely clean. She lightly touched the furniture with her fingers, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and there wasn't a speck of dust on her fingers. She was very satisfied.

The inner room was a bathhouse, containing a huge bathtub, even larger than the one at home, but Wang Qing'er had no intention of taking a bath in it.

Who knows how many people have used the bathtubs in this inn? They might have contracted some terrible diseases.

Mu Nan walked over, hugged her tightly from behind, and whispered, "Are you satisfied with this room?"

"Hmm." It was just one night's sleep; she didn't care at all.

Mu Nan gently turned her around to face him, gazed at her, and softly called out, "Qing'er!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Wang Qing'er looked up at him with eyes as clear as water.

"Nothing, I just wanted to call you!" Wang Qing'er looked at her somewhat silly husband, smiled, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Qing'er." Mu Nan's Adam's apple bobbed as he leaned down and kissed those two rosy lips.

Wang Qing'er felt that the man's lips were very wet, hot, and soft.

This time, Mu Nan's kiss was no longer a gentle, tender one, but rather a passionate, wild, and intense one.

Wang Qing'er felt like she couldn't breathe anymore, and her body was a little unsteady. She wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and responded to him eagerly.

After the two spent some time cuddling in the room, Mu Nan took her hand and, like a protector of a flower, led her to a pharmacy called Heshengtang.

The pharmacy owner was engrossed in looking through the ledger in his hands, completely unaware of the two people walking towards him.

"Manager Wang, where is my master?" Mu Nan asked the manager when she entered the pharmacy and did not see the person she wanted to see.

When Manager Wang heard someone calling him, he looked up as if waking from a dream and said to the person who came, "Oh, Mu Nan, it's been a long time since I've seen you, kid."

Shopkeeper Wang's gaze, like a searchlight, immediately fell on Wang Qing'er, who was being led by Mu Nan's hand. His eyes lit up instantly, and he asked with a beaming smile, "This wouldn't happen to be your wife, would it?"

"Manager Wang, this is my wife, Qing'er." Mu Nan hurriedly introduced Wang Qing'er to Manager Wang.

Wang Qing'er quickly greeted Manager Wang.

"Good! Good! Good, now your master will be so happy he won't be able to sleep."

"Manager Wang, where is my master? I haven't seen him anywhere."

"You've come at a really bad time. He went out to collect herbs last month and probably won't be back for several months."

Mu Nan's master, Doctor Wu, was not only the resident doctor at Heshengtang, but also her mentor who taught Mu Nan martial arts.

He also practiced martial arts with several classmates from the same academy, all of whom were formally apprenticed disciples. Mu Nan was the eldest disciple.

The disciples didn't know Dr. Wu's true identity, and no one dared to guess. By chance, Dr. Wu took in four disciples.

Mu Nan's grandfather was able to live for several more years after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wu, just like a withered tree coming back to life.

Knowing about Mu Nan's family situation, Doctor Wu not only taught him martial arts but also frequently took him to the mountains to collect herbs, teaching him to recognize medicinal herbs and even giving him a medical book called Baicaoji.

If it weren't for Doctor Wu teaching Mu Nan how to collect herbs, the Mu family's debts would probably have snowballed to more than a few hundred taels, because the medicine Mu Nan's grandfather later took was all collected by Mu Nan himself, with only a few precious herbs needing to be bought from pharmacies.

"Did the master say which mountain we were going to gather herbs in?"

“You know your master, he never tells us where he’s going when he goes out.”

"Manager Wang, I have some He Shou Wu here, would you like to take a look..."

Before Mu Nan could finish speaking, Manager Wang impatiently interrupted him, leading them hurriedly into the inner room. "He Shou Wu, come with me to the inner room quickly. Your master is going to find He Shou Wu."

"Is my master going to see He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum)? Is there a patient who needs it?"

"It's because your esteemed friend in the capital sent word that he needs He Shou Wu that's over a hundred years old. And He Shou Wu that's over a hundred years old isn't so easy to find. I reckon he won't be back for at least half a year."

“I happen to have some He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) that is over a hundred years old.”

"Really?" Manager Wang asked in disbelief.

Mu Nan opened the bundle, revealing more than a dozen prepared He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum).
