Chapter 687: Chapter 618: Have One’s Back_1

Watching Chu Lang hurry away after leaving the seeds, Daohua quickly recovered from her surprise. Xiao Yeyang didn’t like this man, so it didn’t seem quite right for her to accept his gifts.

But she was reluctant to give them back.

With these seeds, she could grow Jingmiao Grass and then prepare the Eight Meridian Pill.

Having been kidnapped once and enduring two assassination attempts, she had gained a deeper understanding of the opponents Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers could encounter in their official duties; they were clearly walking on the edge of a knife.

Clasping the small round box in her hand, Daohua watched Chu Lang’s figure disappear into the crowd, then silently turned to leave.

By this time, Madam Li and the other familiar women had finished their lunch and were beginning to prepare to return home.

On the way back to the city, Daohua’s mind lingered on the covertly received seeds, feeling she should notify Xiao Yeyang about it. Once the carriage entered the city, she said to Madam Li, "Mother, I would like to stop by the Rouge Shop later."

Madam Li disapproved somewhat, "It’s such a hot sun, aren’t you afraid of the heat? If you want to check the accounts, why not just have the butler bring them to the manor."

Daohua smiled and replied, "It’s not about the accounts. The new perfumes are selling well, and I want to see for myself. Since we’re out, it saves me from having to make a special trip next time."

Madam Li fell silent for a moment before agreeing, "Alright, then I’ll have the coachman drop you off at the Rouge Shop first."

Daohua nodded, "Just dropping me off will be fine. There’s a carriage at the shop, so you don’t need to wait for me later."

Madam Li said with a hint of annoyance, "In this heat, who would want to wait for you anyway."

Before long, Daohua got off the carriage in front of her Rouge Shop.

Seeing that Wang Manman and Bi Shi were sticking close to her, with Yan Shouhou also attending by her side, Madam Li was not particularly concerned and simply told her, "Come home early."

In the carriage, Yan Yile, seeing that customers were still entering and leaving the Rouge Shop despite the hot weather, said enviously, "Big sister, your shop is really doing good business."

Madam Li didn’t speak and just signaled to the coachman that they could depart.

After entering the shop, Daohua quickly checked on the perfumes’ sales, then left Bi Shi to keep watch in the shop’s backyard. She left with Wang Manman through the back door.

Soon, the two of them arrived at Xiao Yeyang’s newly purchased residence.

Deshou was in charge of managing the new estate and, seeing Daohua, he hurriedly approached, "Miss Yan, do you have business with the master?"

Daohua nodded, "I do need to see him. Is it possible for him to come back for a bit?"

Deshou smiled, "Of course, Miss Yan. Please wait a moment, I will go inform the master at once." Having said this, he turned and left the living room to send a message to Xiao Yeyang.

The gatekeeper couldn’t help commenting, "The master has been quite busy these days; aren’t you afraid of disturbing him?"

Deshou shot a glance at the speaker, "What do you know? If it were someone else, I would certainly stop them, but today Miss Yan has arrived. The master has specifically instructed that anything concerning Miss Yan must be communicated to him immediately."

While waiting, Daohua, feeling bored, went to look at the medicines Xiao Yeyang had collected.

Midway, Deshou came in with a platter of fresh lychees, "Miss Yan, you’ve come at just the right time. These are the lychees the master ordered to be shipped from the south; they’ve just arrived. Please, try some."
