The place Wen Ranran was pointing to was the mountain range opposite.
There is nothing strange about the mountain range itself, but I don't know what kind of flowers were planted, which made the entire hillside look bright red. There seemed to be mines further away.
Xue Huaiyi's heart thumped and he said with a smile, "This... I don't know, I don't know. Maybe some landowner planted some flowers and grass on that hilltop..."
Fortunately, Wen Ranran didn't seem to be very interested, so she just asked a question and said nothing further.
"We've been shopping around for a day. This place, Governor Xue, is really a good place... We are tired too, so we don't need to accompany you. You can do it on your own!" Wen Ranran went down the mountain without stopping too much. The three of them were all in the same group.
It looks like shearing wool while inspecting the work.
Xue Huaiyi nodded repeatedly.
He didn't want to deal with these three guys who looked big but could choke people to death with just a word, so he quickly sent Wen Ranran and others back to the temporarily prepared side courtyard and retreated.
Back in the room, Wen Ranran stared at the tea at hand, but she was not in the mood or had the courage to drink it.
Everything I saw and heard just now was weird, and some kind of truth was about to come out.
Neither Qin Zhuo nor Wen Changjin rested immediately, and the three of them quietly gathered in Wen Changjin's room.
"Do you see anything?" Wen Changjin looked at his daughter with a smile.
Wen Ranran nodded.
"This old guy is indeed raising tea girls in the mountains... Those concubines just now didn't look generous at all to seduce people. Some of them even looked young. There were still traces of being whipped on the little girl. Either this old concubine was...
They have a habit of torturing people in bed, or these women are not concubines at all...or even, they are just tools to relieve sexual desire."
Behind him, Qin Zhuo took a breath of air, "This..."
"There is also the back mountain tea garden. There is nothing wrong with the tea garden, but the red flowers on the mountain next door... look a bit like hibiscus?" Wen Ranran herself was not sure, "I have read about it in Doctor Xi's book.
Hibiscus is the main medicinal ingredient for making Bliss Powder, while Wushi Powder needs to be supplemented with mild minerals... No matter which one is used, it is harmful to people."
"Qin Zhuo and I will go take a look tonight. Dad, after Mr. Cheng comes back from Jincheng, he will pick you up and go down the mountain. You go back to Du Mansion first!"
After all, only Du Fantian can be trusted now.
Seeing Wen Ranran arranging everything in an orderly manner, Wen Changjin wanted to help, but Wen Ranran refused.
"There are people from the martial arts community in this villa, and it seems that their martial arts skills are not bad... If you act rashly, you will suffer a loss."
Wen Changjin frowned. Although he was an official of the imperial court, he also understood the influence of these Jianghu forces on the handling of the case, so he did not refuse.
The sun was setting in the west, and Wen Ranran rested peacefully. When the sky turned dark, Cheng Fenglou also came, claiming that he had something important to report to Wen Changjin, and took Wen Changjin away first.
Wen Ranran and Qin Zhuo stayed in the same room, resting separately so that they could discuss matters.
Wen Ranran thought it was nothing, but Qin Zhuo beside him was restless as if his butt had been stabbed by a needle.
"What? There are nails on this chair?" Wen Ranran looked at the other party strangely.
Qin Zhuo blushed, "No...no..."
Wen Ranran thought about it and finally realized that it was not good for her as a married woman to stay in someone else's room.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that you haven't married yet, and you are a young lady... But during this special period, General Qin, please be patient!"
Qin Zhuo: "...??"
What kind of frivolous young man?! He is a tough-minded man!
"Princess...Princess is open-minded!" Qin Zhuo's face turned red. He was teased by Wen Ranran without realizing it. He felt like he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"By the way, at your age...haven't you ever seen a woman?" Wen Ranran didn't understand Qin Zhuo's shyness at all.
Qin Zhuo was stunned on the spot, so troubled by Wen Ranran's words that he didn't know what to say.
"I...I..."
"Okay, okay! I won't ask anymore!" Wen Ranran couldn't bear the shy look of a 1.8-meter-high military commander with a red face, so she ended the topic in time and continued to close her eyes and rest.
Qin Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "I...I already have someone I like!"
