Soon, led personally by the Eldest Prince, Lin Caisang and Ya Molian went to see the location of the three fields.
Lin Caisang chose a place with mountains and water, as well as beautiful scenery, took a land deed, and rode back to the Princess’ Mansion in a carriage, watching the guards busy putting the ten thousand taels of gold onto her carriage.
“Brother Molian, what do you think the Emperor’s motives are? Does he want to recruit me?”
Arriving at Zeng Yulang’s house gate in her carriage, Lin Caisang was helped off the carriage, and she asked Ya Molian what he thought.
Ya Molian didn’t think too much, directly answering her question.
His Sang’er is so exceptional and talented, anyone would consider recruiting her to their side. What’s so strange if the Emperor wants to recruit her?
“I must thank the Eldest Prince this time. Otherwise, if the Emperor really wanted me to stay when I received my reward in the palace, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
Lin Caisang remarked.
She intends to open a fragrance shop in Jianan City, something she had already requested from the Eldest Prince.
Despite his refusal to take her money several times, she still gave him five thousand taels, which hurt her financially. However, Lin Caisang understood that five thousand taels was relatively cheap for a shop in Jianan City.
“What can you do, just walk away.” Ya Molian suggested.
He didn’t care about any Emperor, anyone who dared to have intentions towards Sang’er would face his wrath. Although, maybe not to the extent of breaking into the palace in the middle of the night to beat the offender fiercely, he would still express his displeasure.
Leaving the palace abruptly would make her appear like a demon, which was his ‘brilliant’ solution!
However, talking about these things now was pointless. After all, none of this had happened, so she was free and easy.
Arriving at the gate of Zeng Yulang’s house, they found that the courtyard door was tightly shut.
“Doesn’t seem like anyone’s home?”
She looked at Ya Molian for confirmation.
“Indeed, nobody is home.” Ya Molian confirmed.
“What’s going on?” Lin Caisang was speechless. After such a long time, how could there be no one there? Had their servants gone to report to their master, and have not yet returned?
Even so, shouldn’t Old Man Zeng and Zeng Yulang be home?
Just as she was pondering, Old Man Zeng and Zeng Yulang came back, talking while carrying goods. Old Man Zeng was carrying a bamboo basket, and Zeng Yulang was carrying things in both hands.
“Ah, Miss Doctor, you’re back.”
Upon seeing them, Old Man Zeng hurriedly ran over to open the locked courtyard gate and asking them to enter.
“Uncle Zeng, is the produce in the market exceptionally cheap today?”
Seeing that they had bought what looked like a month’s worth of vegetables, Lin Caisang was somewhat speechless. If she recalled correctly, the Zeng family was just Old Man Zeng and Zeng Yulang, father and son. Did they really need to be so frugal to buy so many vegetables at once?
“No, the produce in the market is never cheap.” Old Man Zeng chuckled.
“Then why…” Lin Caisang was increasingly speechless.
If it wasn’t cheap, then why did they buy so much?
“Isn’t it better to buy more and store it at home in case we don’t have time to shop in the next few days.” Old Man Zeng replied.
Lin Caisang felt taken aback by this response.
She suddenly remembered the scene she had seen outside Zeng’s house before and immediately understood why Old Man Zeng and his son bought so many vegetables.
