On the second day, King Fu had left early. Before leaving, he warned Supervisor Qin that if anything happened in the House of Envy, he must ensure Mu Yunyao's safety.
Naturally, Steward Qin agreed and arranged for people to set up in the Garden of Embroidery.
It was just as Mu Yunyao expected, Li Yuan did not come on the second day. Ming Yin followed Mu Yunyao's instructions and directly pretended to fall into the water. After that, she said that she wouldn't be entertaining the customers after recuperating from her illness.
That night, Li Yuan sent a follower to visit Ming Yin. He even sent in many medicinal herbs, telling her to recuperate well.
When Li Yuan heard his follower's report, he felt his mind shake and kept recalling the scene when he saw Ming Yin that day.
When Li Mu Nian came to see him in this state, she could not help but exhort him: "The place is different from other places. Moreover, you came here to verify the salt tax, so it is not appropriate for you to take a fancy to that Ming Yin. When the matter is settled, I will think of a way to send her to your house."
"Don't worry nephew, I naturally know what I'm doing." He liked beauties and enjoyed the process of chasing after them. Otherwise, with his status, as long as he opened his mouth, a lot of beauties would be sent to his bed. That would be much less fun. He knew Li Yuan, so he did not care much about Li Yuan's conduct and behaviour. But according to seniority, Li Mu Nian should call this person 'Uncle', so many things could not be said in an unpleasant way: "I wonder when Uncle will be leaving for Yangzhou city?" Compared to Ziling City, Yangzhou City …
Those cities further south of Suzhou City were the main points of verification. "Right now, there is still some time before the salt tax is verified. There are also salt merchants coming to Yangzhou City to take care of us, so I hope that we can examine it more carefully. Furthermore, I have heard some rumors, so I cannot rush to Yangzhou City.
"Some time."
If the salt merchants had not gone crazy, they would not have wanted Li Yuan to examine them more carefully. Now that they said it this way, they simply wanted him to hide in Ziling City for a while to give the salt merchants time to prepare. It seemed like there must be a big problem with the salt policy this time.
Li Munian's eyes lit up, "Cousin, is that what I meant?" "That's right, I'll slowly check them out. I'll give them some time to prepare and perfect them. In other words, I'll just sell them to the salt merchants for their blessings. In the future, it can be said that their benefits are limitless." His purpose this time was to help the First Prince rope in these salt merchant so that he could extract more oil from them in the future. He did not expect that he would be here just a moment ago …
There was good news coming from the Mausoleum City.
Li Munian was very happy, so he reminded Li Yuan, "Although it's good news, Uncle must also be extra careful, in case there's any trickery involved. After all, the salt merchant is cunning, and the water in it is too deep.
"Nephew, don't worry. I will come and discuss with you if there's any news. There definitely won't be any mistakes." Since this was an important matter, he naturally had to pull Li Munian along. This meant that he had the support of Prime Minister Li behind him, and both him and the First Prince had great advantages.
"Fine, if I can't make up my mind, I will send a message to the capital, asking father for guidance."
Li Munian and Li Yuan were happily chatting with each other. Before he left, Li Munian had left behind his two beautiful female attendants, but Li Yuan was worried about Ming Yin. He looked at the two female attendants in front of him again and felt that they were just ordinary women, not that tall and refined aura that Ming Yin had.
"It seems that I'll have to pay a personal visit tomorrow."
The next day, Li Yuan bitterly waited until the afternoon before he packed up and headed to the No Envy Pavilion. When he arrived, he did not see Ming Yin, but was welcomed by Steward Qin, "Greetings, Sir Li. How about Yun Chun makes you some tea today?"
Yun Chun came forward and greeted, "Greetings, Sir Li." Under the contrast of his white clothes, he gave off a refreshing feeling. Normally, Li Yuan would definitely be moved by this, but with the Pearl of Inscription in front of him, he actually felt like there was nothing else in front of him.
Color. This kind of feeling hadn't appeared on his body for a long time, and it made him even more curious about it. All these years, there had been a lot of beauties around him, but not many could truly move his heart. Ming Yin was the first one that had worried him so much, so he was increasingly unwilling to give up, "Shopkeeper Qin, I …"
I did not come here to drink tea. Instead, I heard that something had happened to Miss Ming Yin, and I hope to be able to visit her. "
Supervisor Qin appeared to be troubled, "About this... To tell Lord Li the truth, ever since Miss Ming Yin's incident, there has been an endless stream of customers who have come to visit him, but Miss Ming Yin has not seen anyone.
"So that's the case. Then, may I ask Miss Ming Yin if she might be willing to see me?"
Steward Qin was surprised for a moment before he nodded his head. With a smile, he said, "That's fine. I'll ask Yun Chun to go and inquire about it. If Miss Ming Yin is willing, that would be for the best."
Looking at his expression, Li Yuan could not help but smile. He thought to himself, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Manager Qin. Consider this as me owing you a favor." Naturally, he didn't mind selling them to Shopkeeper Qin as he was after Ming Yin.
The smile on Manager Qin's face became even wider as he served the best tea to Li Yuan and waited with him.
In the time it takes to have two cups of tea, Yun Chun came back with an awkward expression. "Greetings, Sir Li. Miss Ming Yin is not feeling well, so I don't wish to see you right now. Please forgive me."
Li Yuan frowned, feeling displeased in his heart. At the same time, he had a strong desire for victory. "Since that's the case, I will come again another day." After which, he walked out.
Yun Chun, however, quickly followed. "Sir Li, please wait a moment. Actually, Ming Yin wishes to meet you. It's just that …"
Li Yuan stopped walking and said unhappily, "Since she wants to see me, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
"Yun Chun would never dare to do so, and words do not make sense. Follow me, I'll show you and you'll understand." Yun Chun clenched his teeth and brought Li Yuan to the backyard of the brocade garden.
At this moment, flowers were blooming in the backyard. The luxuriant purple and red flowers were looking extremely prosperous and beautiful.
At the end of a large garden, the sound of water could be heard. A pavilion was built on the surface of the water, giving it an extraordinarily elegant appearance. In the pavilion, near the water source, Ming Yin was leaning against the railing, one hand on her chin, lost in thought as she gazed at the water surface.
At this moment, she was wearing a white skirt that reached all the floors. As the wind blew past her, her sleeves gently fluttered, giving off the impression that she was riding on the wind. Li Yuan looked at her from afar. Looking at her pale but delicate face, he could only feel his heart worrying for her. "Miss Ming Yin …"
