In a room on the second floor of the painting house.

Xiang Liangcai stared at the plain-looking Doctor Zhang in front of him, whom he had met once before. No matter how he looked at him, the other party seemed to be short of money, and he sat there very stiffly and nervously.

But it was this Doctor Zhang who found me before and brought me a silver note for five thousand taels, saying that he was willing to purchase the purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum for fifty thousand taels, but the prerequisite was that it must be purchased on this pleasure boat. The five thousand taels was a deposit, and if Xiang Liangcai broke his promise, he would have to pay it back double. If Doctor Zhang himself broke his promise, the five thousand taels would belong to Xiang Liangcai.

Money makes the world go round, let alone just a trip on a pleasure boat.

So Xiang Liangcai came.

Xiang Liangcai had no interest in pleasure boats, delicacies, or even beauties. All he had in his eyes and heart were gold and silver. As soon as he sat down, he asked for payment of the money and goods. He could have left directly while the pleasure boat was still on the shore. However, the other party hesitantly asked him to wait a little longer and kept getting up to pour tea. Xiang Liangcai was in no mood to drink tea. His face turned cold and he asked Doctor Zhang if he was going to go back on his word.

Doctor Zhang rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically, "Of course I won't regret it. It's just that it's rare for this pleasure boat to come up here, so of course I want to try this delicious food that I've never heard of before..." After saying that, he patted his chest and said that the silver bills had been prepared long ago. After deducting the previous 5,000 taels, there was still a shortfall of 45,000 taels, not a penny less, and he had brought them all with him.

So he sat back and drank two cups of tea, but he couldn't taste anything. When the other party raised his hand to signal him, he picked up the tea and drank it. He drank until the pleasure boat left the shore. Doctor Zhang suggested checking the tea again.

The goods had been seen before, so Xiang Liangcai did not do anything. He felt confident. He took the wooden box and placed it on the table, opened it, and pushed it in front of the other party. Perhaps because the other party was not good-looking, he was less polite and complained in a low voice, "See! According to my idea, we should have inspected the goods as soon as we got on the pleasure boat. After the inspection, we would have exchanged the money and the goods. Then you could stay and eat their delicacies, and I would go back to my inn to count the money. It would not delay either of us. How great... But you had to wait for so long, I don't know why."

The other person laughed, a little reserved and shy. Xiang Liangcai sneered in his heart. He heard that he was a doctor in a small clinic. To say he was a doctor was a good word. To put it bluntly, he was just a barefoot doctor who knew some inferior folk remedies and specialized in treating those hidden diseases that ladies could not talk about. This was looked down upon in the doctor circle. I didn't expect that he was rich... The ladies were really willing to spend money.

……

Some were complaining in their hearts, some were inspecting the goods, and over there, Yuan Ge had already knocked out the guards and went up to the second floor in a dignified manner. Miss Yuan and Xu Chengjin were on each side, wearing faces thicker than city walls and expressions of recklessness. They lifted the curtains of each room one by one, met the surprised gazes from inside the rooms, and smiled, "Excuse me, excuse me, we've come to the wrong place." Then they put down the curtains, turned around and ran away... Just as they lifted two curtains, the sound of swords clashing could be heard downstairs. The movement on the second floor also attracted the waiter, who naturally recognized Wen Qian and Xu Chengjin and was slightly stunned, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked towards the stairs and saw Wen Peiji standing there, with an expression that looked like he was angry and then laughed at. He felt thunder and his voice changed. "How did you get up here?!"

Miss Yuan smiled and said frankly, "I fainted, but it's okay. I'll wake up on my own in half an hour. It's harmless." Look, she is kind-hearted. The medicines she used are not harmful to the body. A short nap is good for physical and mental health.

The waiter felt that he had never seen such a shameless person in all the years he had traveled with his master! He rolled his eyes and shouted, "Come here! Drive these uninvited guests who trespassed into the second floor away! If they do it again, throw them directly into Lingyan Lake to feed the fish!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Yuan Ge and bowed slowly, "Miss Wen, Mr. Xu and this guest... The pleasure boat has its own rules. The three of you have broken the rules of the pleasure boat. Considering that you are first-time offenders, we don't want to make things difficult for you. You should just take care of yourselves..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Ge suddenly saw a curtain being lifted, and a head with shifty eyes poked out. He immediately flashed past the waiter and rushed towards that place, leaving the waiter staring at the air in astonishment: He said "I have never seen such a shameless person" too early, but the most difficult situation at the moment was no longer Wen Qian, but Wen Peiji who was walking towards him with a somewhat strange smile...

"Fushun." Wen Peiji called out word by word, his voice lazy and gorgeous, with an unfathomable smile on his face. He said, "Long time no see."

Fushun is Xu Yi's most loyal subordinate.

Xu Yi, Wen Yizhuo's biological mother.

Fu Shun was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to say yes or no. He couldn't continue pretending not to know him. After a while, he politely bowed, "...son-in-law."

Wen Peiji nodded, not knowing whether he was happy or angry. "Well... this pleasure boat is hers? Where is she?"

Xu Chengjin, who was already rushing to Yuan Ge's side, was struck by lightning... What, what?! Son-in-law?! This pleasure boat belongs to Wen Peiji's wife?! For some reason, he suddenly remembered Lin Mu's question. If this pleasure boat was damaged, whose responsibility would it be... Now the important thing is not who will be responsible, but that Wen Peiji brought such a group of people to the pleasure boat to cause trouble. Will the already unhappy relationship between the couple become even worse? It's really... a sin!

Yuan Ge rushed in after lifting the curtain, and saw the strange doctor with a shocked face, and Xiang Liangcai holding the wooden box in front of his chest with a defensive face. She was wearing women's clothes today, and her facial features were more prominent than that day. Xiang Liangcai didn't recognize her at first. He held the wooden box worth 50,000 taels with a wary face, but his tongue was tied. "You, you, you...what do you want to do? I, I, I tell you, I am just an ordinary outsider, I don't have anything valuable on me!"

He was listening to the noise inside and looking out, thinking that someone was coming on board to rob, so he was naturally scared.

Yuan Ge looked at the two huge gem rings on his hands that were tightly holding the wooden box, pursed his lips and chuckled, "These two things look quite valuable... right, Brother Xiang."

He was slightly startled by the other party's overly familiar address. He lifted his eyelids to take a closer look. In the blink of an eye, the two faces overlapped and he screamed, "It's you! The servant next to Wen Peiji! You are a woman?! You are actually a woman!"

Yuan Ge held the door curtain with one hand and smiled warmly, "Well. I didn't introduce myself before. I'm the daughter of the Wen family, the wife of Song Wenyuan, Wen Qian... Brother Xiang, considering my sincerity, why don't you sell me this purple-leafed Polygonum multiflorum?"

Miss Yuan's sincerity: she personally chased the pleasure boat and knocked out two guards, which also brought a group of little followers to the pleasure boat, who were fighting downstairs.
