Speaking of the Dewy Paste!
Qin Yun's interest was piqued!
Business was knocking on his door!
"I do have some, but this Dewy Paste takes time to produce. I wonder how much Consort Li desires?"
"Consort Li was very satisfied after using your Dewy Paste. It would be best to have ten or eight bottles. The other consorts in the palace also like it very much!"
Qin Yun stroked his chin, deep in thought!
"Second Prince, this Dewy Paste is indeed a good product, but its production cost is also high. It's not as simple as you wanting however many you want!"
Xie Jing'an understood Qin Yun's meaning immediately. He took out a thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to Qin Yun. "Are you satisfied now?"
Qin Yun accepted the silver notes without hesitation. "Alright, in three days, I will have someone deliver ten bottles of Dewy Paste to the Second Prince's mansion!"
Xie Jing'an waved his hand. "I will inform Consort Li when I return. She will send someone to pick them up then!"
That works too, saving him a trip!
"It's getting late, I'll return to the palace now!" Xie Jing'an stood up, his mood somewhat displeasured!
Qin Yun also noticed that Xie Jing'an was not in a good mood, so he did not try to persuade him to stay. "Second Prince, please go slowly. I will not see you out."
Wei Xiaochang, standing beside him, also got up. "Young Master Qin, I am also leaving. We shall meet again another day!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Yun smiled.
Seeing Xie Jing'an and Wei Xiaochang depart, Ouyang Siqing also felt it inappropriate to linger!
He slowly stood up and approached Qin Yun, saying gently, "Yun'er, I should be going too!"
Qin Yun looked at the departing figures of Xie Jing'an and Wei Xiaochang!
Then he said to Ouyang Siqing, "Wait for me for a moment!"
After speaking, Qin Yun left the main hall!
Ouyang Siqing was somewhat at a loss, standing there foolishly to wait!
Not long after!
Qin Yun returned!
He held a bottle of Dewy Paste and handed it to Ouyang Siqing. "Take this. When you occasionally go horseback riding at the stable... you can apply a little."
Ouyang Siqing took it and said softly, "Is this the Dewy Paste the Second Prince mentioned?"
Qin Yun nodded.
"Then why didn't you take it out just now? The Second Prince even gave you silver notes!"
Qin Yun smiled. "Keep your voice down, don't let the Second Prince hear. Otherwise, he'll hold a grudge again!"
Ouyang Siqing felt this was improper; he couldn't just take someone's things for free!
Just as he was about to offer money, Qin Yun stopped him. "This is a gift for you. If you do that again, I'll be angry!"
Being treated so specially by Qin Yun, Ouyang Siqing found it hard not to overthink things!
"Yun'er, can I ask you a question?" Ouyang Siqing mumbled.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so hesitant?"
Ouyang Siqing stammered, "You... you are...!"
After speaking for a long time, Ouyang Siqing still couldn't finish his sentence!
"You are what? Hurry up and say it!" Qin Yun was getting anxious!
"You are...!" Ouyang Siqing found it difficult to articulate!
Just then, Wei Xiaochang returned, shouting from not far away, "Young Master Ouyang, the Second Prince is waiting! Are you still not leaving?" Kuai Shu Ge
"Alright, I'm coming!"
Ouyang Siqing turned around and looked at Qin Yun again, saying, "I'm leaving now!"
Qin Yun didn't say anything, just nodded slightly!
After Ouyang Siqing left, Qin Yun looked up at the sky!
At this moment... Uncle Fu came over!
"Uncle Fu, do you need something from me?"
Uncle Fu said respectfully, "Young Master, Master wants you to come for a meal!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Qin Yun strode towards the adjacent Qin mansion, with Uncle Fu closely following!
Inside the Qin mansion!
The whole family was gathered around the original wood red table, eating with great gusto!
"Yun'er, why haven't I seen Mr. Jin out and about lately? Have you given him too much work?" Madam Min asked, seemingly casually.
A hint of mockery flashed in Qin Yun's eyes, and he chuckled, "He's just a servant. Why is Second Aunt so concerned? Shouldn't you be more concerned about my father?"
Madam Min pursed her lips and smiled. "Hehe, I was just asking casually. It's not concern!"
"Is that so? It's best if it's not!"
Qin Yun ate the meatballs Qin Yuanzhang had given him and asked casually, "My third sister's wedding day is probably within these few days, right?"
Qin Yu, who was silently in the corner, had a malicious glint in her eyes when she heard Qin Yun mention her.
Due to Qin Yuanzhang's presence, Qin Yu maintained a pretense of a smile on her face. "I'm afraid this will disappoint Second Brother. Young Master Ming is ill, so the wedding date has been postponed!"
"Ill? Why is Young Master Ming falling ill now, and not earlier or later, right before the wedding?" Qin Yun retorted.
Knowing that Qin Yun's words carried a barb, Qin Yu was not annoyed. "Who knows!"
"What illness does he have?"
Madam Min chimed in from the side, "The Ming family hasn't explained the details. They just said he's ill, and the wedding date is postponed!"
Qin Yun laughed. "Young Master Ming seems to like my third sister very much! Ever since you got engaged, he's been meeting with my third sister frequently! I wonder if my third sister is pregnant yet!"
"If the wedding date is postponed at this juncture, it seems inappropriate!"
"Crack!" Qin Yu forcefully placed her chopsticks on the table and said coldly, "Second Brother, your words are too unpleasant. I don't need to eat this meal!"
Seeing Qin Yu angered and leaving, Qin Yun casually pursed his lips and shrugged! He didn't seem to care!
Qin Yuanzhang also looked helpless!
Why couldn't his pair of children get along?
"Yun'er, your third sister will be married in a few days. Don't upset her. After the incident last time, she has also been feeling quite down."
Hearing Qin Yuanzhang's words, Qin Yun felt inexplicably uncomfortable!
She had only moved to the Scholar's Mansion a few days ago!
What kind of spell had Madam Min and her daughter cast on her father?
Given the current situation, it was best for her to speak less.
After dinner, Qin Yun left the Qin mansion slowly with Xiao Ju!
Xiao Ju noticed Qin Yun seemed preoccupied and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, what are you thinking about?"
"You say... why did Ming Xiajing fall ill? This matter seems a bit strange!" Qin Yun patted his own forehead, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong!
"Young Master, Ming Xiajing is a scoundrel. Why bother with him so much? Even if he dies of illness, it has nothing to do with us!"
"That's not entirely true. This matter actually concerns me."
Xiao Ju asked curiously, "Young Master? Why are you so concerned about Ming Xiajing today?"
"We finally managed to trick that girl Qin Yu. How can we stop halfway!"
"Ming Xiajing's illness might be man-made! I need to go and see!"
She had a feeling that if she didn't intervene in Ming Xiajing's illness, the person involved might be finished!
"Young Master, the Ming family does not welcome you. You should not go!"
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I have my ways. Let's return to the Scholar's Mansion first!"
Upon returning to the mansion, Qin Yun quietly called for Hong Fu!
"Go to the Ming mansion and investigate what's going on with Ming Xiajing! Be sure to find out the truth tonight. This matter needs to be resolved quickly!"
