There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 262 Take Back Your Dog

The aloof and beautiful woman left under Li Shuchen's questioning gaze. A moment later, she returned carrying a wooden box and handed it to Li Shuchen.

He mouthed to her, "How much silver does Qiu Hong San cost?"

After understanding, Li Shuchen paused for a moment, then mouthed, "One hundred taels of silver."

Upon hearing this, the aloof and beautiful woman's expression suddenly relaxed, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. She then took out a thousand-tael silver note from her waist sash and handed it to Li Shuchen, mouthing, "Keep the change."

Li Shuchen, clutching the money, immediately understood and hurriedly thought to himself, "Little Jizi, quickly find a drug that will render a man impotent and put it in my pocket."

[The Yang-extinguishing powder has been released]

Li Shuchen took out the Yang-extinguishing powder from his pocket and handed it to the aloof beauty, then pointed to her flushed chin, the back of her hand, and her arm.

The aloof and beautiful woman accepted the Yang-extinguishing powder, smiled, and shook her head, indicating that she was alright.

"Young master, is the amount of silver correct?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen tapped the silver notes in the wooden box and replied, "Yes."

He silently prayed in his heart, "Little Jizi, give me the antidote for Qiu Hong San."

The antidote has been released.

Li Shuchen took out the antidote and handed it to the aloof and beautiful woman.

The aloof and beautiful woman held the antidote, staring at it for a long time, until Lord Liang's urging voice rang out: "Bi'er, have you gotten the antidote?"

The aloof and beautiful woman finally came to her senses and said, "I got it."

He then went behind the screen to serve Lord Liang his meal.

After taking the medicine, Lord Liang felt much stronger. He embraced the aloof and beautiful woman and stepped out from behind the screen, smiling at Li Shuchen.

"The wealthy young master is truly a divine being."

At this moment, the aloof and beautiful woman sincerely said, "Thank you, wealthy young master."

Lord Liang was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then lifted the chin of the aloof and beautiful woman, saying, "Although Bi'er is usually very indifferent to me, it seems that she still cares about me quite a bit now."

The aloof and beautiful woman said, "My lord is my master, so naturally I must take good care of him. I am extremely grateful to the wealthy young master for curing him."

Li Shuchen waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of mutual benefit. If Lord Liang has nothing else, I will return."

Lord Liang: "Young master, please wait."

Li Shuchen had just tucked the money away and stepped out of the house when he heard the sound of footsteps on roof tiles all around him. Listening closely, he realized there were at least a dozen tiles being stepped on. He then stopped, turning his back to Lord Liang.

"Lord Liang, please take your dog back. This young master kills dogs without batting an eye."

Upon hearing this, Lord Liang felt even more that the 'wealthy young master' was a reclusive master, and dared not let anyone follow any further. He quickly waved his hand, signaling to retreat.

"It's all my fault for not teaching you properly; I hope the wealthy young master won't take offense."

Li Shuchen walked away without turning his head.

Lord Liang waved from behind and said, "Young Master, please take care."

After making sure no one was following him, Li Shuchen returned to the narrow alley to change his clothes.

He cursed Lord Liang while changing his clothes.

That old lecher dared to send people to follow her! If she hadn't been alert, she would have lost all that money. Damn it, business with that old lecher is really tough.

After changing his clothes, Li Shuchen put all the 1.5 million taels of silver notes he had obtained into his system space.

"Little Jizi, you deserve a lot of credit for making so much money this time. I'll share the spoils, and you should get some too. Here's a million taels of silver; take it and use it to recharge."

The system cannot take away the host's money without reason.

"There's such a rule? I'll go back and check what expensive and good items the shop has, and buy them so you can recover some energy too."

After Li Shuchen finished speaking, he leaped onto the roof and returned to the main house of the Magnolia Courtyard to lie down and sleep.

The next day, Li Shuchen woke up feeling refreshed. Looking in the mirror, he was amazed by his own appearance. Money really does make a difference; look at his radiant complexion, he's truly handsome.

He then ran to the swing to wake himself up.

"Li Shuchen, it's time to go to the main hall for breakfast."

Princess Changning stepped in and frowned when she saw Li Shuchen on the swing.

"Li Shuchen, how can you not even wear clothes? What kind of behavior is this?"

Li Shuchen glanced at himself and replied, "Why am I not wearing any clothes? Isn't this apricot-yellow nightgown a piece of clothing? It's long-sleeved and long-legged, so I'm not showing any skin. Besides, there are no men in the General's Mansion, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Princess Changning said helplessly, "It's fine here, but it won't work elsewhere."

"Okay, okay, I'll go change my clothes."

After changing his clothes, Li Shuchen came out and saw Princess Changning happily swinging on a swing that was frighteningly high.

"Changning, you're swinging too high, be careful you don't fall!"

Princess Changning said confidently, "If I fall, you can just catch me."

Then it swung higher and higher.

Li Shuchen snorted and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.

Princess Changning was stunned and cried out urgently, "Li Shuchen, come back quickly and stop the swing for me! Li Shuchen, come back quickly, I'm going to fall... ah..."

Princess Changning let go of the swing ropes, closed her eyes, and let her body fall downwards.

She then fell into a warm embrace, opened one eye to peek, and saw Li Shuchen's droopy little face.

"Changning, you owe me two lives now, remember to buy me something nice to make it up to me."

Princess Changning stood up straight and said, "Of course, I'll give you whatever good things I have."

Li Shuchen said as he walked out, "Don't swing so high next time. I might not be there for you."

Princess Changning: "I know, I won't do it again. Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"

Li Shuchen: "Didn't you say you were going to have breakfast in the main hall? Let's hurry, or there won't be any left."

Princess Changning quickly walked ahead of Li Shuchen and said, "You go first. Do you know the way? Or should I lead the way?"

When the two arrived at the main hall, everyone was already there.

Madam Liang chuckled and said, "Chen'er and Changning must have been bickering again."

Princess Changning said sweetly, "Aunt Liang is wise. It's all because Li Shuchen got up too late and made me wait for her for so long."

After saying that, he gave Li Shuchen a provocative look.

Li Shuchen couldn't take the blame for this, so he looked at Madam Liang with gentle eyes and said, "Aunt Liang, it's all Changning's fault for taking my swing. I've been waiting for so long and haven't been able to swing on my favorite swing."

Princess Changning was stunned and retorted, "You're talking nonsense! When I saw you, you were swinging on a swing."

Li Shuchen stuck out her tongue: "Oh, you know I got up early."

Princess Changning, realizing she had been exposed, crossed her arms, snorted, and turned away from Li Shuchen.

Madam Liang tugged at Princess Changning, who was sitting beside her, and coaxed, "Alright, alright, stop arguing with Chen'er. Who can argue with her? Let's eat, or the food will get cold."

Princess Changning turned around to eat after hearing this.

Everyone was enjoying their meal when a maid entered through the door and said...

"Madam, Consort Bi sent someone to deliver something, saying it's for you."

Madam Liang: "Let me see it."

"Please, Madam."

Madam Liang opened the brocade box and smiled, "It's touching that she still remembers."

Princess Changning smiled and asked, "What did that Aunt Bi send that made Aunt Liang so happy?"

Madam Liang picked up the contents of the box and showed them to everyone. Then, with a mixture of joy and helplessness, she said, "This mirror is hard to buy. Aunt Bi must have spent a lot of money to get it."
