The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

The two left the house, and Yun Jin lowered her voice and said to Eagle Claw, "Help me assess Fu Sheng's character. I believe you have your own methods. If there are no problems, help me mentor him for three months."

Eagle Claw nodded, beckoned two men in black over, and had them take Fusheng out through the back door.

Soon, the deliveryman was also brought along.

When the deliveryman was blindfolded and led into the courtyard, his legs were trembling, and he kept muttering, "Gentlemen, I'm just a legitimate businessman, I haven't done anything wrong..."

Eagle Claw pressed him down into a chair and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm just asking you a few questions. Answer them properly, it'll be fine."

The deliveryman nodded, trembling.

Despite being separated by a screen, Yun Jin spoke in her aged voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm asking you, did you deliver vegetables to that house, and did you see the people living there?"

The deliveryman thought for a moment: "I've only ever seen the kitchen staff. They always come out from the side door, take the food, pay, and then leave. I rarely see anyone else."

"You haven't seen the owner of this house before?"

The deliveryman thought for a moment: "I've seen that child once before."

Yun Jin handed him the child's portrait and made some minor modifications based on his description.

After reading it, she stood there stunned for a long time.

This time he looks more like Yun Lang.

Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, she asked again, "What do they like to eat?"

The deliveryman said, "They like to eat rice, but they don't like noodles."

How often are the groceries delivered?

"Delivered every three days,"

Yun Jin paused, then asked, "Did that family say anything unusual to you? Or did anything else seem out of the ordinary?"

The deliveryman thought for a long time and shook his head: "No. They don't talk to the little one much. They just deliver the vegetables to the door, collect the payment, and then send the little one away. The little one has barely even entered the courtyard."

He thought for a moment, then added, "But once, I overheard that old woman arguing with the guard. The old woman yelled, 'I've served you for so many years, and I can't even go home!' She stopped talking about it after that."

Yun Jin nodded and had Eagle Claw escort him out.

After everyone left, she handed the portraits to Eagle Claw: "Take these portraits and have someone draw a few more copies. Then go and investigate separately. The fact that those people called him 'master' means he's not an ordinary person. Besides, they like to eat rice, so they must be from the south."

She believed that the people under the King of Xin must have their own sources of information to investigate the specifics.

Eagle Claw took the portrait, carefully put it into his pocket, and nodded in agreement.

Yun Jin turned around, looked at Eagle Claw, and said seriously, "You don't need to keep an eye on that courtyard anymore. I reckon they've given up on it."

Eagle Claw clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Your subordinate understands, Miss, please rest assured."

Yun Jin added, "Also, try to keep an eye on the Fifth Prince's residence. If possible, it would be even better if you could go inside and take a look. But... don't let them find out. Your safety is the most important thing. If you are discovered, pretend to be thieves and don't let anyone know your purpose."

Eagle Claw nodded emphatically: "Understood, Your subordinate."

Yun Jin then led Dong Xue out of the courtyard and back to Weicao Hall.

Chunxi was sitting on a chair in the backyard, half asleep, when she heard footsteps. She suddenly looked up, rubbed her eyes, and quickly stood up: "Miss, you're back."

Yun Jin nodded and went into the house with Dong Xue. She changed back into her own clothes and asked Chun Xi to go to the front and call Manager Yang over.

When Manager Yang heard that she had returned, he rushed over: "Miss, did you need to see me for something?"

"Yes, Uncle Yang, I asked you to look at the nearby shops for me a couple of days ago. Have you heard anything back?" Yun Jin smiled and asked.

"What a coincidence! There are two shops next door that are up for sale, and I thought it would be perfect that you were here. I've made an appointment for you, and the staff are waiting at the shops. If it's convenient for you today, you can go take a look now."

Yun Jin nodded: "Let's go now."

Manager Yang then led Yun Jin and the others out of Weicaotang and went to the two shops for sale not far away next door.

The shops are next to each other, one is larger and the other is smaller, and they all face south, so they get good lighting.

The larger room has three courtyards, with access to the street from the front and back, and a small courtyard at the back; the smaller room has only two courtyards, but it is also kept clean and tidy.

After looking around Yun Jinli, I had a good idea of ​​what to do. Both shops had good layouts and were in good locations, close to Weicaotang, making it convenient to keep an eye on them.

The larger room costs 2,800 taels, and the smaller room costs 2,200 taels.

I liked all the brocade and decided to buy them all. I negotiated the price with the homeowner right away.

Yun Jin asked Chunxi to go to the small courtyard in the south of the city and find Shi Yong to measure the house.

He then went with Manager Yang to complete the transfer procedures.

After completing the transfer of ownership, Yun Jin returned and stood at the shop entrance, looking at the two empty shops, pondering what to do next.

"Miss," Manager Yang asked curiously, "what do you plan to do with these two shops?"

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I want to make medicinal cuisine."

Manager Yang was taken aback: "Medicinal cuisine?"

"Hmm." Yun Jin nodded. "A diet that can both cure illness and nourish health. Using the best medicinal herbs in our shop, combined with the best ingredients, we can make things that others can't."

Manager Yang nodded thoughtfully: "Miss, your idea is truly ingenious."

"Uncle Yang, could you help me find a suitable manager?" Yun Jin asked.

"Alright, I'll take care of that," Manager Yang agreed, then asked, "What are you planning to do with the other shop?"

"It's a secret for now." Yun Jin smiled mysteriously. "Uncle Yang, you go ahead and get busy. I'll wander around a bit more."

Shopkeeper Yang rubbed his hands together and smiled, "Miss, that hair regrowth..."

Yun Jin chuckled: "I'll have Chunxue deliver it to you tomorrow."

After Manager Yang left, Yun Jin led Dong Xue on a tour of the house, pondering how to decorate it as they went.

She was pacing around the room when Xia Hong pushed open the door and came in, approaching her with a wronged expression: "Miss, why didn't you greet me when you arrived?"

Yun Jin smiled and patted her hand: "I've been busy the whole time. How are you doing here?"

Xia Hong nodded: "The people in the shop are all very kind to me. I listen to you, Miss, and focus on learning about herbs and their properties. They all take good care of me."

Yun Jin gently brushed a stray hair from her forehead: "Then study hard. That shop next door, once set up, will be your place to put your skills to use."

Xia Hong exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Miss, do you really still want me?"

"Of course! What do you think I sent you here for? So you can help me in the future." Yun Jin couldn't help but chuckle. "Are you relieved now?"

"Mmm." Xia Hong finally cheered up.

At this moment, Shi Yong rushed over from the small courtyard in the south of the city, and Xia Hong quickly said goodbye and returned to Weicaotang.

Yun Jin then said to Shi Yong, "These two shops will be built according to my plan. First, you take some people to paint the interior of the shops, and build a row of firewalls around the perimeter. Be careful to protect the shops from burns. Then, measure the dimensions of the shops and have them delivered to the shop. I will draw up a design rendering based on your measurements."

After saying this, she handed him the keys to the two shops, gave him a few more instructions, left him some money, and then took Dongxue and Chunxi into the carriage to head back.
