Although she wanted to leave immediately, without the Ambergris Fructus, she would have to suffer until the end of the month.

Wan Ju and Bi He looked at each other, then at Jin Lan, and could not help but be a little anxious. Mama Shang sensed Jin Lan's hesitation, thought for a while, and then asked: "This Ambergris Fructus, how much are you selling it for?"

Mama Shang's words caused Zhao Danchen's eyes to light up, he once again quickly fished out the golden abacus, and muttered to himself as he moved it, "The golden signboard of the Mixin House is over there, all the incense are made from top-grade ingredients, in addition to the rare and precious ancient recipes, as well as the blood and sweat of the incense mixer …"

After a while, his long fingers drew a perfect curve on the golden abacus. "Pa!" His candid voice sounded again, "In total, three hundred silver taels per box. Two boxes cost six hundred silver taels."

Jin Lan couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It was actually so expensive! Ordinary spices were not worth more than a few taels of silver, while the better ones were worth less than a dozen taels. Even when the Old Ancestor was in the capital, he had only used about a hundred taels of silver.

This was obviously treating them as ignorant little girls, wantonly slaughtering them as they pleased!

Jin Lan's rare sliver of good impression disappeared in an instant. As she lifted her leg and prepared to walk around Zhao Danchen, Wan Ju and the others also came back to their senses one after another and followed him out.

"Miss." Zhao Danchen retreated two steps and coincidentally stopped right in front of the door. However, he did not show any anger on his face, and continued to speak while beaming: "This price is still deducted for the young lady.

Jin Lan said coldly, "Since that's the case, you can sell it to her. I don't want it anymore. Young Master, please step aside!"

Seeing Jin Lan's anger, the smile on Zhao Dancheng's face deepened. "This Ambergris Fructus is indeed expensive. However, since she's outside, it would be inconvenient for her. Since this lady feels that the price is too expensive, it's not like she has no other choice. "

Jin Lan raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything. This was the first time she used a Ambergris Fructus, and it was also her mother's, so she didn't know how much silver was spent on it. However, she seemed to have nothing to do with Zhao Danchen, and now that he was the first to help her out of her predicament, he was willing to destroy her reputation as a Ambergris Fructus, and was also willing to sell at an extremely high price, to throw out such a good opportunity when she was about to leave, how could she believe him if he said that there was nothing wrong with it?

If she had nothing to offer, she would either commit adultery or theft. She did not want to fall into that predicament again.

Zhao Danchen did not mind her coldness, and spoke straightforwardly: "I have two friends that are planning to head to the capital, but we met with heavy rain and wind along the way, so the ship might not be able to move forward anymore. If young miss is willing to give them a ride, these two boxes of Ambergris Fructus s will be used as ship capital, and as a gift to young miss, what about it?"

Jin Lan's heart tightened bit by bit. It wasn't strange for him to be able to guess what kind of incense someone wanted to buy just by relying on the layout of the store and his familiarity with the spices. However, Mixin House and the dock were separated by a long distance, the streets and alleys twisted and turned, and there were many people coming and going. How did he guess that he was heading to the capital?

Just who was he? The doubt in Jin Lan's heart became bigger, and his wariness of Zhao Danchen grew tighter and tighter.

Mama Shang was the second person to sense that something was amiss. She immediately put on a cautious face, and took a small step back to protect Jin Lan.

Although Wan Ju and Bi He were clueless about what was going on, it was not hard to guess from Mama Shang's expression that this person was in a bad situation for the girl. Only then did they relax and focus on Jin Lan, staring fixedly at Zhao Danchen, afraid that he would run over and do something bad.

It seemed like he had overplayed himself. Although Zhao Danchen could not see the expression on Jin Lan's face, the servant girl beside her knew that they had misunderstood.

Feeling a faint killing intent from the cold behind his back, his heart shivered. He quickly pulled out a smile and explained, "I'm afraid that lady has misunderstood. I'm afraid that you know these two friends." He didn't dare to block the door and quickly dodged to the side. A short while later, two figures could be seen walking in.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

"Why is it you?"

"Why is it you?"

The first sound came from Jin Lan, followed by the second sound from a tall, thin, and handsome man in a moon-white brocade monarch's orchid robe. It was none other than Meng Zhanxuan.

Jin Lan's gaze did not rest on Meng Zhanxuan's body, but instead, stared blankly at the figure beside her. Dressed in green, with an ordinary yet expressionless face, a pair of eyes as deep as a deep pool, it suddenly entered her vision.

Her body could not help but tremble, and a name suddenly surfaced in her heart: Yan Ye!

On the bloody night of Mid-Autumn, she thought she had forgotten. She had completely forgotten about it, but now she understood that she had never forgotten it.

That night on his shoulder, the shocking blood-red, and the smell lingering on his nose, bit by bit, had long been branded into her bones, ready to explode at any time.

When she saw his face once again, that pair of eyes that contained an inexplicable meaning, her heart, which had been stretched to the limit, gradually relaxed.

She actually felt a trace of relief.

Mama Shang did not know who the two were, but she could sense that there was something strange about Jin Lan. She held her soft hand that was alternating between cold and hot, and said in a low voice: "Lady."

The sound beside her ears was like a clap of thunder that had exploded above her head, causing Jin Lan to quiver. Her emotions left her deep eyes, "Mama, I'm fine." Even though she said that, a trace of a hot and dry feeling rose up from the pale face beneath the white veil.

What happened to her? He was actually staring at a man in such a daze!

"Miss." Although Jin Lan had never seen Meng Zhanxuan, but that day when they met on the lake, Meng Zhanxuan had saved Jin Lan before. Thus, Wan Ju and Bi He recognized each other and bowed to Meng Zhanxuan, "Greetings, Young Master Meng."

Surname Meng? Jin Lan's heart stirred. He glanced at Wan Ju, and without asking further, he happily replied: "So it's brother Meng Shi."

The only person who was going to go to the capital of the Meng Family recently, seemed to be the person that day within the Lingji Temple, the person Ru Han called Big Brother, Meng Zhanxuan, right?

Meng Zhanxuan did not know that the person in the room was Jin Lan. Although he had seen Jin Lan twice, one time was when he fell into the water and one time was when Yan Ye knocked him out, so he had not heard her speak. Seeing that, she suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder Yan Ye was staring at Zhao Danchen, his expression even colder than winter.

Seeing Jin Lan's greeting, Meng Zhanxuan immediately sidestepped, and revealed a refined smile: So it's Sister Jinlan, it's truly a coincidence.

Jin Lan nodded, and said, "I heard that Brother Meng left for the capital very early. Why is he stuck at Xuzhou all by himself?"

How could he not worry and let Meng Zhanxuan travel alone? It must be the same as me, other than the servants and Attendant s, there are also stewards and guards who are familiar with the route, but by his side … Jin Lan looked behind Meng Zhanxuan, and sure enough, there was not a single person.

It's a long story." Meng Zhan Xuan sighed, and then a bitter smile appeared on his handsome face, "The weather is merciless, and the boat coincidentally goes into the river. "Thankfully, my fate is good, otherwise, I'm afraid …

Attendant? He is Meng Zhanxuan's Attendant? Jin Lan looked at Yan Ye suspiciously. Although he did not have an outstanding appearance, his unfathomable martial arts skills and cold aura made him look like he was not even in Attendant. However, with the relationship between Ye Family and herself, since she had met them, she could not just leave them be. Even if it was for Aunt Qin's sake, she still had to send Meng Zhanxuan to the capital.

She withdrew the doubt in her eyes and a bright light flashed in her eyes.

Besides, it was just following the way.

Within a few breaths, she made a decision in her heart.

Zhao Danchen naturally heaved a sigh of relief, if this matter could come to a successful end, he could also quickly escape the torture of Yan Ye's block of ice. Thus, with a face full of smiles, he offered up the two boxes of Ambergris Fructus and personally sent the group out of the bed door.

With her sharp eyes, Wan Ju quickly found the carriage she was riding on just now. She passed the box in her hand to Bi He and jogged over to say a few words to the carriage driver, who then quickly drove the carriage over here.

Jin Lan supported the Mama Shang and looked at the approaching carriage. He thought for a moment, then turned to Meng Zhanxuan and said, "Brother Meng, there's only one horse carriage, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to ride on it. Not far away from where we are is the Yangzhou jetty, a ship with three masts of red paint on it is extremely easy to find."

Meng Zhanxuan was clear about the inconvenience, and did not force anything, nodding his head, and smiled: "Alright, when the time comes, I ask Sister Jinlan to wait."

Jin Lan responded with a chuckle. "Of course." His gaze was agile, but he dodged the azure shadow.

Just as she finished speaking, the carriage stopped in front of Jin Lan steadily. Wan Ju jumped down from the carriage, and helped Jin Lan up, then the Mama Shang, and finally bowed to Meng Zhanxuan. Then she got on the carriage and left.

"Miss, those guards and wives …" Once Wan Ju got on the carriage, she impatiently wanted to report what she just heard from the driver's mouth to Jin Lan. However, she stopped him with a look. She knew what Jin Lan was thinking and sat to the side, not saying anything.

Jin Lan looked at Mama Shang's swollen and red face and felt even more guilty, "Mama, once we return to the ship, I will immediately get Doctor Mo to come and take a look at your injuries."

"This servant does not mind." Mama Shang shook her head gently. With a deep look in her eyes, she whispered to Jin Lan.

How could she not know? Such a ridiculous person had appeared out of nowhere, clearly aiming for her. At the critical moment, the old wives and guards guarding outside had all disappeared. Anyone with long eyes could tell that something was amiss.

She was unfamiliar with this place in Xuzhou City, not to mention people who looked at each other wrongly. Other than Ye Jinwei, she could not think of anyone else who would do such a malicious thing.

It was just that Ye Jinwei got off the boat a step before her, and the horse carriage was travelling along the streets. Even she did not know where she was going, so how could Ye Jinwei be so clear about this?

Unless she followed him from the start to the end, or he had spies planted into his side!
