"He seems to be a bit irritable lately."
After waiting for a long time, all Xia Muxin received were these few words. She sighed in frustration and said, "Then please take me to the pharmacy."
Upon arriving at the pharmacy, she greeted Sister Tang and exchanged a few casual words. However, Sister Tang seemed to be speaking in riddles that Xia Muxin couldn't understand. Not wanting to waste any more time, she brushed it off, collected the materials she needed, and left Tang Family Pharmacy.
"Hey, am I imagining things? That kid Mu Han hasn't made a move on this girl. But then again, how old is she? That little frame..."
As soon as Xia Muxin left, Sister Tang felt puzzled. She had been entrusted by Master and Master's Wife to inform them immediately if Mu Han showed interest in that girl. They needed to keep an eye on things. Lost in her thoughts, her face inadvertently flushed.
If Shen Muhan were to find out about her impure thoughts, he would definitely smash her signboard without hesitation...
Returning to the inn, Xia Muxin consulted on a few more matters before slowly entering the kitchen to start preparing ingredients.
In the inn's Private Room, Su Yan-Chu was chatting casually with guests, wearing a gentle smile.
"Li Gongzi, Young Master Liang, Boss Ye, it's truly an honor for me, Su, to have you visit my humble establishment today."
Today he wore a water-colored long robe that accentuated his rosy lips and white teeth, making him quite eye-catching. At this moment, he was all smiles and had a humble demeanor. After speaking, he elegantly lifted his teacup in a gesture of invitation and drank it all in one go.
Rong Li, Liang Yi, and Ye Feng all politely raised their teacups in return.
Liang Yi was tall and graceful, with features like a painting and skin as smooth as cream. She was a red card at Mei Tower, exuding a feminine charm that captivated not only women but also men, who couldn't help but want to hold her close and cherish her.
Ye Feng was the Boss of Mei Tower, with a mysterious background and a master in the business world. Mei Tower had remained popular and thriving under his leadership.
Rong Li was the Third Prince of Qi Kingdom, indifferent to fame and fortune, with a temperament that fluctuated between joy and melancholy. He enjoyed traveling through mountains and rivers, particularly those in Tianli Kingdom, seeming to be addicted to it. He had been there for several years without any sign of returning.
Shen Muhan had been at the border for some time. The reason Su Yan-Chu personally hosted him was mainly to understand the situation regarding the Salt Merchant's entry.
Although Ye Feng and Liang Yi were both from Mei Tower, they were involved in the salt trade along the Huai River. The salt they used primarily came from that area, and the river was the only boundary between Tianli Kingdom and Qi Kingdom. Therefore, every salt ship entering or leaving had to pass through the waters of both kingdoms, which were heavily guarded by various nations and subject to strict inspections. After several encounters, he realized that Rong Li had significant connections to this matter.
Of course, these were not the main points. The key issue was that he received orders from above regarding the discovery of Fake Salt within the Kyoto Royal Family. Currently, he was in the best position to act discreetly.
"Boss Su is too polite."
Ye Feng had some acquaintance with Su Yan-Chu and held great respect for Sister Tang. Since he was hosting this gathering, he understood Rong Li and Liang Yi's personalities well. To avoid any awkwardness, he politely steered the conversation.
