Xie Lan said nothing and walked straight into the side room.

"Xie Lan, why are you back in your room? Aren't you going to town?"

Jiang Wan had selfish motives in taking Xie Lan with him.

She didn't go to Luohe Town often, so she was unfamiliar with the route layout of the town, not as familiar with it as Xie Lan, who went to the town all year round to trade and sell wild animals.

Besides, she wanted to buy a few sets of clothes and shoes for Xie Lan and Xie Jing, and also buy some food, meat and eggs.

She planned to buy several hundred kilograms of food alone. If she went alone, she would inevitably lose some things because she bought so much.

If Xie Lan went with her, he could help her for free.

"Change."

Xie Lan replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan went to another side room and spoke to Jiang Weiran, asking him to stay at home and take care of the other two children.

Xie Lan changed into a clean set of gray cloth clothes, which were also worn and patched.

Jiang Wan glanced at the fine fabrics on her body and became more determined to buy them clothes.

The two were about to go out when Xie Jing and Xie Xueling came back.

Xie Jing's eyes were red and there were traces of tears on his cheeks, looking so pitiful.

"Brother, sister-in-law!"

Xie Xueling trotted over, looked up and asked Jiang Wan, "Sister-in-law, are you going out?"

"Well, Xueling, stay home and your sister-in-law will bring you some delicious food when she comes back."

Jiang Wan gently touched the little girl's head.

When Xie Xueling heard that there was something delicious, the smile on her face became even more intense, "Okay! Xueling will wait for sister-in-law at home!"

Xie Jing couldn't bear to see his younger sister getting so close to Jiang Wan, he snorted, "They only use these tricks to please others, and I don't know where the money came from, is it my eldest brother's money?"

Jiang Wan ignored his sarcastic remarks, chatted with Xie Xueling for a few words, and then went out with Xie Lan.

The two went to the village head's house and rented a ox cart.

There is no market today, nor is it the busy farming season. The village head's ox cart spends its days grazing and taking walks to digest food, which is extremely leisurely.

Jiang Wan went to rent a car, and the village head was so welcoming.

Jiang Wan was generous and gave out ten copper coins at once. The head of the village asked his eldest son Wang Datou to follow him and happily accepted the copper coins.

About half an hour later, the ox cart arrived at Luohe Town.

Jiang Wan asked Wang Datou to wait for them at the town entrance, and she and Xie Lan walked towards the home of Liu Fushen, the richest man in the town.

Luohe Town is not the richest town, but it is not poor either.

There are several wealthy and famous families in the town, and people within dozens of miles know their reputations.

Among them, Liu Fushen was the most prominent.

Liu Fushen's ancestral home was in the capital. He served as a seventh-rank official in the capital, but there was no sign of promotion until he was over fifty years old. So he retired and returned to his hometown, bringing his family to settle down in Luohe Town, his wife's ancestral home. More than ten years passed in a flash.

Now Liu Fushen is over 60 years old. He is a highly respected and charitable man in Luohe Town.

Xie Lan had also heard of Liu Fushen, so it was easy for him to find Liu Fushen's house.

Jiang Wan and his companion turned left and right, and after walking for a cup of tea, they found Liu Fushen's home on the east side of the town.

Liu Fushen was indeed the richest man in the area within dozens of miles. His house had blue bricks and black tiles, white walls and red doors, and two stone lions at the door, making him look wealthy and imposing.

Jiang Wan had been in Lushui Village these past few days, and only took a quick look when he came to the town.

Liu Fushen's house was the most imposing house she had ever seen.

Thinking of the courtyards of the Jiang family and the Xie family, Jiang Wan suddenly felt that it was better to have money, otherwise how could she live in such a nice house?

When Lingzhi is exchanged for silver, she will also have to repair the Xie family's yard.

At least she should have a single room. It's not right to always sleep in the same room with Xie Lan.

Xie Lan went forward and knocked on the door, and a man dressed like a servant came out.

The servant looked at Xie Lan for a few times and said to him arrogantly: "Do you know where this place is? You knocked on the door casually, do you think this is the main gate of your village? Hurry up and go!"

The servant drove the man away in disgust, but Xie Lan just stood there without moving, which made the servant angry.

"Hey! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you look like a decent guy! Get out of here! Otherwise I'll call someone to chase you away!"

Xie Lan still ignored him. The cold aura emanating from his body made the servant dare only jump in place, not daring to do anything to him.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Jiang Wan spoke up, "Young man, I heard that Master Liu in the mansion wants to buy Ganoderma lucidum. I wonder if he is still willing to buy it now?"

The servant turned his gaze to Jiang Wan. Seeing that she was well dressed and had a pretty face, the servant's expression looked much better.

"Why, girl, do you have Lingzhi?"

Jiang Wan nodded with a smile.

The servant was so bewildered by the smile that he lost his mind. He quickly said seriously, "Who is our master? He is a well-known philanthropist and a wealthy man! How can you ordinary people just meet him whenever you want?"

Jiang Wan heard the hidden meaning and pretended to take out copper coins to reward the servant.

Xie Lan stopped him and said, “Let’s go. It seems that Master Liu is not short of Ganoderma lucidum, otherwise he wouldn’t even let anyone in.”

After saying that, Xie Lan grabbed Jiang Wan's wrist and was about to leave.

Jiang Wan was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

The servant became anxious.

"Hey, hey, hey! Girl, please stay! Girl, please stay!"

The servant hurriedly chased after her, "Miss, do you really have Ganoderma lucidum?"

Jiang Wan nodded, "How can I dare to come to your house without Lingzhi?"

The servant saw that she didn't seem to be lying, but he just couldn't stand Xie Lan's domineering attitude. He said, "Young lady, come in with me. This boy, wait outside!"

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and tried not to laugh. It seemed that Xie Lan had offended someone.

She came to Xie Lan's rescue and said, "Brother, he is my bodyguard, and he was asked by my father to protect me. If you don't bring him into the mansion, then I won't go in either."

Xie Lan's eyes flashed, and he almost couldn't hold back the question.

When did he become a guard? !

Upon hearing this, the servant looked at Xie Lan again and said unwillingly: "In that case, both of you come with me!"

Jiang Wan gave Xie Lan a look with a hint of cunning and mockery in it.

Xie Lan said nothing, but he didn't show any displeasure towards Jiang Wan either. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.

The Liu Mansion was even more luxurious, with rockery, flowing water, green trees and red flowers.

The servant took the two of them to a side hall to wait.

Soon after, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came out from the inner room. He had a fair face, no beard, and an elegant appearance.

This person is Mr. Liu’s second son, Liu Qingrong.

"Which of you brought the Lingzhi?"

Jiang Wan took a step forward and said, "I found a Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains by chance. I learned that Mr. Liu wanted to buy it, so I came to offer the medicine."

Seeing that Jiang Wan behaved in a generous and polite manner and had a pretty appearance, Liu Qingrong couldn't help but have some affection for her.

"Miss, could you please take out the Lingzhi and have a look? It's not that I don't trust you, but there are quite a few scammers coming to my house lately."

Jiang Wan expressed her understanding and gently took out the Ganoderma lucidum from her arms.

When the Ganoderma lucidum wrapped in a white handkerchief was revealed, Liu Qingrong immediately showed a happy smile on his face.

"It's really Ganoderma lucidum! There's still dirt on the roots of this Ganoderma lucidum, so I guess it was picked not long ago! Judging from its color and shape, it must be quite old! Great! Now my brother's illness can be cured!"

Before Liu Qingrong could be happy for long, a frightened servant came running from outside.

"Second Master, something bad has happened! First Master is sick again!"
