Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Yun Shengsheng was a bit exasperated: "How stupid are the Prince of Yong's men? They managed to dig for silver and get spotted by the local aunties! As a result, they were all wiped out!"

Those people are still at the government office proving their identities and the origin of the money!

I'm genuinely worried that if we rush over there, we'll run into Prince Yong's men still there! Just imagine how awkward that would be.

[What if Yan Shijin and his group, unaware of the situation, wipe them all out? What will happen to the money then?]

Therefore, I need to stall Yan Shijin and his group, delaying their arrival so that those people can escape quickly and then move on to the next target.

Another day passed, and Little Dumpling said speechlessly, "The Prince of Yong's men have escaped from prison and left Su Yang's residence!"

Yun Shengsheng asked in surprise: "Where did they go? Did they take the silver from Green Willow Lane?"

Little Dumpling was even more speechless: "The silver is still there, they didn't take it! I guess they gave up on the silver in Green Willow Lane of Su Yang Prefecture and went to look for silver elsewhere first."

"The direction should be the silver from the Xiangshan County Bank, which also amounts to 200,000 taels."

Yun Shengsheng nodded: "Then we'll just have to go get the money from Green Willow Lane ourselves. Ugh, why are they so unhelpful! They've really disappointed me!"

Little Dumpling: "..."

So, in the last two days, Yun Shengsheng put away her playful mood and began urging Mo Ning to travel seriously.

Mourning: "..."

Miss Yun has changed her ways...

The convoy did not turn into the towns and counties it passed through, but instead continued at full speed along the most direct official road.

We ate and slept on the roadside. Although the conditions were a bit harsh, everyone found it peaceful.

That evening, they set up camp at the edge of a grove of trees.

Chu Xiao's entourage set up tents, his shadow guards spread out to keep watch, and Mo Ning led his men to hunt in the nearby mountains.

Yun Shengsheng volunteered to cook the soup.

She took out a small packet of seasoning and a few dried shiitake mushrooms from her "little bag".

After the soup was cooked, she scooped out a spoonful, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.

After a sip of hot soup, she closed her eyes contentedly.

This soup is made with spring water; it's truly delicious.

I can drink two big bowls of liquor today, so don't try to take it from me.

Yan Shijin was sitting by the fire when he heard the sound and was slightly taken aback.

He took the bowl from Yun Shengsheng, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in his mouth.

The moment the soup entered his mouth, the familiar, warm, and refreshing umami flavor spread from the tip of his tongue all the way to the bottom of his stomach, just like the soup he had when he was the prefect.

A warm feeling surged up in his dantian, as if the meridians in his body were being gently washed by a warm stream, long and comfortable.

He felt completely refreshed and also felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

Sheng Sheng must have seen how hard everyone has worked these past two days, which is why she spent so much on elixirs.

After drinking the soup, everyone felt full of energy, as if the fatigue from the past few days of travel had been washed away by that bowl of soup.

Especially the shadow guards, who were originally top-notch experts, were most sensitive to changes in their physical condition.

They instinctively looked at Yun Shengsheng.

They all knew that Miss Yun was Elder Li's disciple and must possess secret medicinal herbs, but a herb made to such a miraculous degree must be extremely rare and precious.

It's such a great kindness that they can still use it.

The shadow guards all clasped their hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "Thank you for your generous gift, Miss Yun!"

Yun Shengsheng didn't intend to hide it, and nodded with a smile: "You're welcome!"

"There's still some in the pot, have some more!"

When the guards saw the banquet, Jin didn't object and quickly rushed to serve the soup.

Wu Xia smacked her lips, licked the last drop of soup from the bottom of her bowl, and whispered to Mo Ning, "Why do I feel like my martial arts skills have improved?"

Mo Ning nodded in surprise.

Like the shadow guards, his physical changes were very obvious, and it felt like he would soon break through his previous martial arts limits.

He looked at Yun Shengsheng with some embarrassment, knowing that it was Yun Shengsheng's doing.

Finally, he walked up to Yun Shengsheng and whispered, "Miss Yun, thank you! Um, earlier..."

"I... I was wrong before..."

"I……"

Yun Shengsheng frowned as she looked at it, and then said to Wu Xia.

"Wu Xia, get this person out of my sight right now! He's so annoying!"

Wu Xia also found Mo Ning, a grown man, acting so coy and hesitant, so she went up and simply picked him up and took him away.

Mourning struggled: "Hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Just as Yun Shengsheng was about to drink her second bowl of soup, Chu Xiao brought the bowl over.

He first praised the soup's freshness, then changed the subject and asked, "Sister Shengsheng, what exactly is that glassmaking method you mentioned before? I've been thinking about it over and over again since I got back, I'm so curious."

"I've seen those glass goods brought by Western merchants before. A thin piece costs tens of taels of silver, practically more expensive than jade. If you really know how to make it, this business could be incredible. How about this: I'll provide the capital, you provide the skills, and we'll partner up and split the profits fifty-fifty, how about that?"

Yun Shengsheng slowly swallowed the soup in her mouth, shook her head, and pointed to Yan Shijin next to her: "That is His Highness the Crown Prince's secret recipe, and it is also His Highness the Crown Prince's property."

"If you're curious and want to cooperate, then ask His Highness the Crown Prince."

Chu Xiao's smile froze on his face.

He never expected that Yun Shengsheng would so decisively pass the buck.

This little girl is only six years old, how come she's as clever as a monkey?

After hearing Yun Shengsheng's words, Yan Shijin smiled and looked at Chu Xiao.

That kid Chu Xiao is definitely not honest.

I wanted to get information out of Sheng Sheng.

Unfortunately, Sheng Sheng was not one to fall for his tricks.

Moreover, the secret formula for this glass industry was used as an investment.

Her shareholding was equal to his, the crown prince's. How could she possibly move her own treasure trove away?

Moreover, this business is currently a joint venture between him and Shengsheng. He must be out of his mind to let the Chu family from Jiangnan get a share of the profits.

But cooperation doesn't necessarily mean cooperating in production; cooperating in sales is also a form of cooperation.

Yan Shijin spoke gently, yet each word was clear: "Young Master Chu, although I cannot tell you the secret recipe, I can cooperate with you."

Looking at his smile, Chu Xiao felt a chill run down his spine and quickly bowed respectfully to Yan Shijin.

"Your Highness, how shall we cooperate?"

Yan Shijin said, "The sales channels have already been established in places like the capital and Linchuan. But in the south, we don't have a single official distributor yet."

"Jiangnan is a prosperous region with numerous wealthy merchants, and its demand for glass products is no less than that of the North. Instead of transporting goods from the North all the way here to sell ourselves, we should find a trustworthy merchant locally to act as our agent."

"If Young Master Chu is willing, this southern distribution right is yours..."
