Shen Yiran blushed slightly, and just lowered her head to talk to the children, not looking at Bo Jinnian. Bo Jinnian also just glanced at Shen Yiran quietly, smiled and said, "Don't worry about your mother anymore in the future."

The maids watching from the side all pursed their lips and smiled secretly.

"The Marquis and his wife are playing with their two children. It's really pleasing to the eyes!"

"I didn't expect that the Marquis is so busy, but he is so kind to the Marquis's wife."

"The Marquis personally applied medicine to the Madam. Didn't you hear about it?"

They were talking and laughing, and Xu, who was walking in the garden by chance, heard it all. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.

"Ready your horse!"

Honeysuckle reminded, "Madam, your body is not suitable for riding in a carriage. Why don't you rest at home?"

"Shut up! When did it become your turn to give orders to this lady?"

When Honeysuckle heard this, she quickly prepared her horse.

Shen Yiran was just about to go out when he saw a carriage leaving in front of him. He asked the doorman and found out that it was Xu.

Although Xu's parents' home was also in Kyoto, the servants in the mansion said that Xu's family was of humble origin. Since she married into the marquis's mansion, Xu rarely went back.

It seemed that as soon as I returned, all the relatives came to cling to me.

However, Shen Yiran thought that since she was pregnant after all, she had to go back to her parents' home to tell them. She just assumed that Xu was in a bad mood these days and went back to her parents' home.

Without thinking too much, he focused his energy on the newly opened pharmacy.

The soil on the mountain had been turned over a while ago, and now someone is checking the condition of the soil. Each kind of medicinal herb has its own suitable growing environment, and the fertilizer needs to be mixed according to the herb.

This is a technical job, but Shen Yiran's mother is an expert in medical skills and has always been invited by the ladies and young ladies of various wealthy families to see patients.

Shen Yiran learned the essence of it, and also wanted to use this skill to create a career and gain a foothold in Kyoto.

Fortunately, the chosen piece of land is a good piece of land, where a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs can be grown. Shen Yiran was very happy, and he joined the workers in planting, and rested in the villa on the mountain at night.

Bai Zhi carefully closed the doors and windows, came in to help Shen Yiran to rest, and walked into the house holding a candle. She saw Shen Yiran still sitting at the table, reading medical books by candlelight.

"Miss, it's time to rest. You've been so tired today. If you don't rest, you won't be able to handle it tomorrow."

Shen Yiran heard this and smiled slightly.

Is this considered hard work?

Then what about the days I spent when I was married to Song Qizhao in my previous life?

Shen Yiran heard the rain tapping on the window lattice outside the mountain, and remembered the day when he went out late at night in the scorching heat just to buy sobering soup for Song Qizhao.

I remember the days when I went out to the market every night to buy lanterns in order to earn more money and to avoid being beaten by the drunk Song Qizhao.

Sell ​​lanterns when it’s sunny and sell umbrellas when it’s raining.

It is as close as the sound of rain outside the window, and seems to have happened not long ago. The memory of it is particularly clear.

Bai Zhi went over to lock the doors and windows. The sound of rain outside the window became much quieter. Shen Yiran sighed softly, "Well, turn off the lights and go to bed."

The next day was a sunny day. Many of the newly planted plants and seedlings had been washed away by the heavy rain the night before. Everyone stared at the sun and re-checked the planting.

"Uncle Xie, tell the workers that although it is a bit hard today, they don't have to carry water for planting today because of the heavy rain last night. Everyone can rest after finishing the work."

"By the way, buy some more meat so that everyone can have enough to eat."

Uncle Xie was an old employee of Shen Yiran's mother and was in charge of this medicine mountain. After hearing what Shen Yiran said, he immediately went to inform the workers, and the workers were very happy to hear that.

Bai Zhi supported Shen Yiran and said, "Miss, let's go back too. The Marquis must be worried because he hasn't returned home all night."

Shen Yiran had never thought that Bo Jinnian would worry about her: "Okay, there are still many things to do, how can we go back."

Then he turned back into the house and began to check various account books and receipts, and started to do the accounting using an abacus.

Bai Zhi had no choice. She was just a girl and didn't understand these things. She couldn't sit still, so she quietly walked out the door and went to talk to the girls here.

Shen Yiran was unaware and was concentrating on settling the accounts.

Several figures were swaying in the woods outside the door, looking at the people in the house.

"Remember, this is the woman. We'll do it at night. Everyone hide first."

A few people nodded to each other, then climbed up the tree together and disappeared into the shadows.

Shen Yiran looked up and saw a tray with food placed in front of him.

“How are the workers eating?”

Bai Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't you, Miss, order us to eat the same as the workers? Everyone does this."

Shen Yiran nodded and put the half-finished account book aside.

"After dinner, let the workers rest. If anyone wants to go down the mountain, remember to record the number of people and urge them to come back in the evening."

Bai Zhi sighed and smiled: "Miss, I will go and give the order right away. If you have anything else, please give it as well, okay?"

Shen Yiran smiled: "Go quickly, little girl! Don't play around!"

Bai Zhi went out with a smile.

In the evening, when Shen Yiran looked up, it was dark. Bai Zhi had come back once and went out with the girls again.

Shen Yiran felt tired, rubbed his neck, walked out the door, and stood outside to enjoy the breeze.

There is a temple fair in the market today. Most of the workers have gone down the mountain, and the older workers are also sleeping. The whole mountain is quiet, as if the mountain has fallen into a hazy sleep.

The five figures on the tree immediately slid to the ground and, using the cover of the grass, approached Shen Yiran.

Shen Yiran was only looking up at the sky and didn't notice anything at all.

When I heard rustling sounds, I looked up and saw five big men approaching me.

"Who?"

Shen Yiran yelled, turned around and ran into the house.

She grabbed the bolt and was about to close the door, but the five big men chased after her and kicked the door open.

Shen Yiran fell to the ground and screamed loudly. The five big men immediately rushed into the room and closed the door.

"Haha, big brother, I heard that this woman is still a virgin even though she is married!"

The five people burst into laughter.

When Shen Yiran heard this, he knew that these five people were specifically targeting him. If he was trapped in the house, he would have no chance of escape.

Shen Yiran was still very calm. He made a quick decision, jumped up, swung the bolt in his hand, and threw it at the five people. While they were dodging, he picked up the stool and threw it at them.

The table was also overturned to block the way ahead, and then Shen Yiran didn't think much and climbed out of the open window.

"Brother, that woman jumped out of the window!"

"What are you yelling for? Why don't you chase him?"

The five men immediately turned around, opened the door and went out, only to find that Shen Yiran's dress had disappeared into the dense forest outside the window.

Shen Yiran was quite familiar with the mountain and knew that he could take a detour to the road down the mountain from here. As long as he went down the mountain, he would always meet the workers returning.

Shen Yiran felt it was too troublesome to run while holding up her skirt, so she simply tore off her skirt, tore it into strips and hung them on the trees and threw them on the grass, creating a trap for the five men to escape by other routes.
