After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

The more Zhu Yixuan thought about it, the more panicked he became. He looked up and continued walking forward. Finally, he found a clinic on a street corner and, as if possessed, stepped inside.

The doctor carefully examined Zhu Yixuan's pale face and asked gently, "Where do you feel unwell?"

Zhu Yixuan lowered his voice and explained the general situation.

The doctor knew what he wanted to see, and said, "Stretch out your hand."

While the doctor was taking his pulse, Zhu Yixuan stared intently at him, trying to glean some clues from his expression. Seeing the doctor frown, his heart skipped a beat. "How is he?"

The doctor sighed and shook his head. "Young master, according to my diagnosis, you must have taken a lot of very cold and toxic medicines in your early years. Taking those medicines usually causes diarrhea, abdominal pain, or dizziness. Have you been experiencing similar symptoms frequently for a period of time?"

Zhu Yixuan thought carefully but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "What would happen if I did?"

The doctor sighed again, "The toxins have already penetrated deep into the internal organs. Although it is not fatal, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to have children again."

"Impossible! I don't believe it! I'm healthy and can still fight on the battlefield, traveling a hundred miles a day. How could I be poisoned!" Zhu Yixuan threw down a tael of silver and left the clinic in a rage.

The Zhu family was already in chaos, and now, with his health problems added to the mix, he is no longer able to think calmly.

Once the county government gave him a definite reply, he arranged for his steward to move.

Seeing Zhu Yixuan packing his luggage, the butler asked, "Young Master, are you going on another long trip?"

"I'll go to the prefectural city and try to find some connections while I'm there. You guys move first. The eldest young mistress must leave before dark and absolutely cannot be discovered."

After giving his instructions, Zhu Yixuan remembered the things he had bought and handed the women's items to the housekeeper, saying, "Take this to the eldest young mistress."

The butler took the things and, seeing that Zhu Yixuan had left, quickly went to get busy.

The Zhu family's move to the new urban area following the county government became a popular topic of conversation among the residents.

Su Yu, having received instructions from Su Tai, went to the teahouse to keep watch for a day, but only saw Zhu family servants pulling carts of luggage; he didn't see Master Zhu or the others at all.

So he and Chuncao opened a room facing the street at the inn and took turns guarding it day and night.

The business in the shop was temporarily handed over to Alan and Chunxing.

Just then, the boy came to visit again.

Alan and Chunxing, their faces pale, stepped forward tremblingly to greet them, "What would you like to buy, sir?"

The boy raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Not bad, you've grown a bit bolder and can talk now. Where's your boss?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Chunxing gritted her teeth as she went to the accounting office to find Shen Yuezhang. "Miss, that frightening young master is here again, and he says he wants to see the owner of our shop."

Shen Yuezhang looked up, closed the ledger, and got up to walk out. "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"

Today she was still veiled, dressed in simple clothes, with two pink ribbons wrapped around her double buns, adorned with two small magnolia blossoms, and her eyes were clean and bright.

The boy was somewhat curious. "It seems you really are the owner of this shop."

When Shen Yuezhang came out to greet him last time, he thought she was just the shop owner's daughter. He didn't expect to see her again this time, which means she really is the owner of the shop.

Shen Yuezhang nodded calmly, then asked again with an air of maturity and composure, not wanting to have too much interaction with the young man. The young man, understanding the situation, didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "My men have used your bath soaps and they work very well, but most of those bath soaps are suitable for women, and only the peppermint soaps have some effect on men. I'd like to ask if you can formulate shampoos and bath soaps with specific effects."

"Young master, your request is quite unusual. Please tell us your needs in detail."

Shen Yuezhang was always serious about business matters, and he even took out paper and pen and began to transcribe them.

The boy was also frank, saying, "I need a bath soap that can prevent frostbite and chapped skin in winter, and a shampoo with stronger cleaning power."

Shen Yuezhang paused, her eyes widening in surprise, looking both cute and endearing.

"Young master, shouldn't you use ointment to prevent frostbite and chapped skin in winter? Have you come to the wrong place?"

The young man replied earnestly, "I have also visited medical clinics, but they only have medicines for treating symptoms, not preventative medicines. Your bath soap is quite effective."

I have a bodyguard who is extremely sensitive to heat. In the summer, he can't wear clothes. If he goes out in clothes, he will develop many tiny red bumps within two days, all on areas that sweat a lot. They are itchy and uncomfortable, and he often scratches them until they bleed.

He now bathes with peppermint soap every day, and these past few days when he's gone out with me on errands, he hasn't developed any rashes. This shows that the peppermint soap really does have a preventative effect.

Shen Yuezhang was stunned. Seeing the young man's high praise for his family's bath soap, he found it difficult to refuse.

"Since you've said so, I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee I can actually do it."

The young man stood up and bowed respectfully to Shen Yuezhang, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, young master. As long as the products can be made, price is not an issue, and the more the better."

"Looks like it's a big order!" Shen Yuezhang said, half-seriously and half-jokingly.

The young man smiled meaningfully, "As long as the young master can produce something, it's not impossible for me to become rich with this order alone!"

Shen Yuezhang understood and personally escorted the boy out of the shop.

As soon as the boy left, Alan excitedly said, "Miss, should we go back and talk to Madam?"

Shen Yuezhang nodded slightly, "Of course we need them, but there's no rush. The village is currently busy harvesting strawberries, and my mother has to stay and oversee things. She should come over once the strawberry harvest is finished."

As they were talking, Shen Yi arrived.

Shen Yuezhang ran over excitedly, "Father! Aren't you very busy? How come you have time to come here?"

Shen Yi looked at his graceful daughter with doting eyes, sat down, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, "Master Zhu came to the city today. I sat in the teahouse for a while. The Zhu family's carriages just passed by, so I came to see you. How's business at the shop?"

Shen Yuezhang chuckled, "Not bad, we're making several dozen taels of silver every day. Just now, a young man came over wanting to order bath soap and shampoo. I'm planning to talk to my mother about it when I have time. If it goes through, the shop's business will be stable."

Just as Shen Yi was about to inquire about the boy's situation, Su Yu hurriedly entered with Chuncao.

"Brother-in-law is here too! Perfect timing, I was just about to tell you what happened, the last carriage of the Zhu family just passed by."

Shen Yi nodded. "I saw it too."

Su Yu gestured for him to go to the backyard to talk, and deliberately lowered her voice, "Then you probably didn't see the carriage that entered the city last night. At midnight last night, the Zhu family guards escorted a carriage into the city discreetly. I didn't see the people in the carriage, but I vaguely heard a woman's voice coming from inside."
