It was already afternoon when Su Ye sent Lin Wanwan back to the inn.

On a hot summer afternoon, the sun was scorching, burning every inch of Pingyang City.

Su Ye ran out of the inn again, wearing a light blue gown, his brows furrowed, and sweat dripping down his forehead.

He touched the grape vine in his arms, took it out and saw that it had lost a lot of water and became dry.

Su Ye looked at the grape vines and decided to promote grape planting in Pingyang City from now on.

Subsequently.

Su Ye enthusiastically walked through the bustling streets, telling farmers and vendors about the benefits of growing grapes.

"Fellow villagers, as long as you grow grapes, you will be able to sell them at a good price in the future and live a good life!"

However, the farmers just shook their heads indifferently, and one of the older farmers responded:

"My dear sir, our ancestors have been planting cotton to keep warm in winter and millet to fill the stomach.

No one here dares to try your new gadget. If it doesn’t work, we’ll just have to wait for death when winter comes.”

Su Ye hurriedly explained when he heard this: "Uncle, listen to me, if you can grow something to sell and sell it to other cities, you will have money and can buy ready-made clothes from other cities."

The farmers remained unmoved: "It sounds good, but we ordinary people cannot afford the risk."

Su Ye had no choice as the farmers refused to plant.

We had to go to a shop in the city to get him interested in grapes and to think about buying them.

Su Ye walked into a grocery store and said sincerely: "Boss, think about it, if we have a lot of grapes here, you can definitely make a lot of money if you sell them."

The grocery store owner curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Humph, you are just a bragging boy. Who knows if these grapes can be sold? If they fail, I can't afford the loss."

Su Ye hurriedly said: "As long as you have grapes, I will buy them all."

The vendor obviously didn't believe it and waved his hands: "Don't fool me, I've seen many outsiders coming to Pingyang City. They look like they have money, but in fact they are just that. I won't be fooled by you."

Su Ye reached into his arms and wanted to pull out a stack of bills and throw it in his face.

The grocery store owner was actually a little excited when he saw that he was very skilled in taking out money.

But when Su Ye touched the stack of banknotes, he remembered what the princess had said, that simply giving money would not solve the problem.

Su Ye had no choice but to put the banknote back.

The grocery store owner snorted coldly and ignored him.

The day was so hot that he stood aimlessly in front of the grocery store, holding the grape vine. He saw a group of skinny children bending over to pick up food scraps discarded by others.

"Really!" Su Ye's heart suddenly tightened, and a flash of pity flashed in his eyes. He quickly took out a large stack of banknotes from his pocket.

He walked quickly to the children, squatted down, and said gently: "Children, don't pick these up."

A slightly older child raised his head and looked at him timidly, his eyes full of confusion.

Su Ye gently touched the child's head, pointed to the grocery store and said, "I'll give you some silver notes, go there and buy some delicious food."

"Give us banknotes? Really?" The children couldn't believe it and stood there at a loss.

"Really." Su Ye smiled, took out a large stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to them, "Kids, use this to buy food!"

A gust of hot wind blew by, raising dust all over the ground, and the sand blinded Su Ye's eyes.

Su Ye thought the children had already taken the banknotes, so he let go.

In an instant, the wind blew up the silver bills, and then they fell like snowflakes.

An older child looked up in surprise and asked, "Can we pick it up? Are you really giving it to us, sir?"

"Go quickly." Su Ye nodded with a smile. No matter what, it was too troublesome to ask them to grow grapes.

That trick is still the best! Money makes the world go round!

The children were stunned at first, then their faces lit up with surprise, and they ran towards the direction where the banknotes were falling.

Their little hands were waving wildly in the air, and they were shouting excitedly: "There are banknotes, real banknotes!"

Looking at the cheerful figures of the children, Su Ye's mouth corners slightly raised, but there was a hint of bitterness in that smile.

Then, he turned around gracefully and walked slowly towards the inn in the city.

……

An hour later.

Zi Tan and Situ Liuyun were outside distributing heat-relief medicines to the victims.

At this moment, there were suddenly bursts of noisy shouts from the street: "Oh no! Help! A large number of children have fainted on the street outside!"

When Situ Liuyun and Zitan heard this, their expressions tensed.

Zi Tan said, "Doctor Situ, go and take a look first. I will go and tell Master Lin."

Situ Liuyun nodded and went to treat the children.

Zitan hurried back to the inn and told them that many children had fainted.

Lin Wanwan and Su Ye rushed to the scene, and saw a group of children lying on the ground in a mess. Their pale and skinny faces were now flushed, which was heartbreaking.

Passersby began to speculate.

"what happened?"

In the crowd, the grocery store owner quietly touched the handful of banknotes in his arms and said, "These children are from poor families, some are orphans, and they usually pick up food here and won't run far.

I don’t know what happened today, I just ran for my life.”

Situ Liuyun carefully checked the children's conditions and said solemnly:

"They fell into a coma due to heat stroke after strenuous exercise and were also malnourished for a long time. Some children's conditions were very serious."

Su Ye squatted down and looked at their faces: "Isn't this them?"

"Who?" Lin Wanwan frowned, turned to look at Su Ye and asked, "How do you know them?"

Su Ye smiled and said, "I gave them a stack of banknotes before, but then the banknotes were blown away by the wind, so they ran to pick them up."

Situ Liuyun nodded with a gloomy expression, and then said: "Maybe they were too tired when they went to pick them up. These children are in danger of their lives. Maybe they won't survive tonight."

At this time, the people were surging like a tide. Amid the noisy discussions, someone said something.

"I heard that Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, has come to Pingyang City. I think she can save these children."

Situ Liuyun asked anxiously: "Where did you hear that?"

Lin Wanwan looked at everyone, only to see them looking at each other and saying in unison, "It's Su Ye."

"Yes, Su Ye said that."

"That's right, Su Ye told us."

When Zitan heard that the princess's itinerary had been exposed, her brows furrowed, and there was already a look of surprise on her face.

Hearing them pointing at Su Ye one after another, Zitan turned around and looked at him, a hint of disbelief flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing Zitan's questioning expression, Su Ye's face flushed red and he argued loudly:

"What?! No, I didn't say that!

You people! I was thinking about you!

Their breath is worse than athlete's foot! They are all spitting shit!"

At this moment, Lin Wanwan stared at Su Ye with a gloomy face and asked in a cold voice: "Su Ye, what is going on?"

"I..." Su Ye said angrily: "I really didn't say that! Don't you believe it?"

Lin Wanwan remained silent and just looked at him.

Situ Liuyun reminded: "We have to treat these children quickly."

Lin Wanwan turned around and went to help.

It seemed like everyone at the scene could find something to do and was busy.

Only Su Ye was standing there alone.

Su Ye looked at these children and felt very sad. He was full of self-blame. Finally, he bit his lip and said, "Okay, okay, okay! I was wrong! It's all my fault, okay!"

After saying that, Su Ye turned around sadly, angrily and stubbornly and ran towards the inn.

Seeing Su Ye leave, Situ Liuyun changed the subject: "But don't worry, Mr. Lin, I have medicine. Let them find a comfortable and cool place, and they will be cured."

Lin Wanwan felt relieved after hearing this: "Thank you for your help."

Situ Liuyun looked at him lingeringly and said, "This is as it should be. We shouldn't be so polite to each other."

Lin Wanwan and several others rescued the children and distributed medicine until evening.

……

That night, Mu Han sat in the dark lobby with a cold and cunning look in his eyes.

"Zhao Lishi, except for Master Lin and his group, everyone else must clear the room for me." Mu Han said, "Please bring Master Lin out."

Zhao Lishi understood what he meant and immediately led a team of soldiers to clear the area and head towards Lin Wanwan's room.

“Bang, bang, bang!” Zhao Lishi rushed in with a group of soldiers, and a cold voice rang out: “Master Lin, my master wants to see you.”

After knocking for a long time, I found that Lin Wanwan was not in the room.

At this time, Lin Wanwan, Zitan and Situ Liuyun came back from outside the inn.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mu Han sitting in the hall.

Zhao Lishi saw Lin Wanwan coming back and hurried forward and said, "Mr. Lin, our master said that we have to play games as agreed."

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, right? The weather is hot and I'm sweating. You have to let me take a shower first."

Mu Han walked forward and leaned beside her. He closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. It was a mixture of the fragrance of flowers and the unique scent of a woman, mixed with a hint of salty sweat.

Mu Han's face gradually showed an intoxicated expression, his brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised: "It's okay if you don't wash it, you will have to wash it later anyway."

Lin Wanwan noticed something strange about Mu Han and walked sideways towards the guest room.

Mu Han smiled and said, "I'll have someone invite you in a while."

Lin Wanwan's heart tightened. She knew very well that this so-called "please" was just a cover. Even if she agreed, he would still order people to use force to coerce her.

Back in the guest room, Situ Liuyun asked Lin Wanwan to take the antidote in advance, and put the packet of sleeping pills in her palm.

Before leaving, Situ Liuyun did not forget to ask with concern: "Mr. Lin, please be careful."

Lin Wanwan nodded.

Afterwards, Zitan gave Lin Wanwan a bath.

Lin Wanwan said: "Zitan, you and Qin Jun wait not far away. As soon as I say Mu Han has an asthma attack, you come in immediately."

Zitan nodded: "Yes, Master Lin."

Soon, Lin Wanwan washed herself, put on her clothes, and opened the door.

Mu Han, dressed in a black robe, was leaning against the door, with a satisfied yet strange smile on his face, and his voice was full of amusement:

"Have you finished washing? Then come and play."

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes and asked, "What are you playing?"

Mu Han stood up, walked towards Lin Wanwan, grabbed her shoulders, turned her body to the left, and pushed her to the end of the second floor of the inn.

Facing the four closed doors of the inn.

"Mr. Lin, there are good things to see in these four rooms. Choose one.

It depends on which one you choose. "
