After going back that day, Su Xiang kept Lin Xue'an cold for two days. It wasn't until the boy gave in and came over to apologize that the matter ended.

A few days later, Lin Xue secretly returned to Lingshan Mansion and brought back Qingyun, along with two trucks of salt packed tightly. The salt had been packed in sacks, and various mountain goods were piled on top, which did not arouse any suspicion.

Gao Lan and Lin Qi are still busy in the house. Gao Lan is responsible for keeping an eye on the mining of the mine, and Lin Qi is responsible for sending the rock salt out for purification and then transporting it back.

Although these two people were under Lin Xue's secret control, they were both aboveboard and aboveboard people. Su Xiang was not worried that they would greedily swallow these supplies.

What's more, their master Lin Xueman now only obeys her, so Su Xiang is not worried anymore, but marvels at the high efficiency of Lin Xueman and the others countless times.

After that, Su Xiang's life returned to peace. As the plan progressed, Su Xiang's money became more and more, and the day when she lay down was getting closer and closer.

The salt, saltpeter and gypsum that Lin Qi and Gao Lan took turns bringing in every few days were clearly arranged by Su Xiang.

The salt was all transported to the warehouse of Liushang Qushui Building. Shopkeeper Xu was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out when he saw the mountains of salt. But he was a smart man, so Su didn't ask anything and just accepted it silently. Okay, warehouse key.

The saltpeter was delivered to the warehouse of Tianranju, and shopkeeper Chen was so surprised that he couldn't close his jaw.

Some time ago, Su Xiang arranged for him to find someone to dig an ice cellar in Natural Residence. At that time, he thought that the second lady wanted to store ice cubes in winter, but he did not expect that it was to make ice with saltpeter!

Be good! With so much saltpeter, did her young lady find a mine?

Shopkeeper Chen didn't know that he was getting close to the truth. Before Su wanted to say more, he quickly arranged for someone to secretly make ice cubes and store them in an ice cellar.

Su Xiang was very satisfied with the two shopkeepers and gave them another salary increase.

Finally, there were several carts of plaster. Su Xiang thought about it and asked Lin Xue to send someone to Sanshengtang to ask if they would accept it. The doctor at Sanshengtang didn’t say much, he accepted them all, and let him know if there was any more. Plaster can be delivered.

Su Xiang nodded with satisfaction.

When everything was going according to plan, the Su Mansion welcomed a special guest.

Not long after Su Xiang got up, the old slave beside Su Xiangguo rushed over and called her: "Miss, please go to the main room."

"Who's coming?"

"It's Mr. Fang, the new top scholar."

Su Xiang then remembered that Fang Muxi had mentioned that he wanted to visit Su Mansion.

When she came to the main room, Su Xiangguo and Fang Muxi were playing chess silently. The two were fighting on the chessboard. The two people below the chessboard looked unpredictable and didn't pay attention to their surroundings.

Su sat down without even thinking about it. Qingyun gently brought her a cup of tea and stood behind her.

Not long after, the chess game was decided, and Su Xiangguo defeated Fang Muxi's two pieces.

Fang Muxi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Xiangguo's chess skills are superb, but Muxi is not as good as him."

Su Xiangguo laughed, his face relaxed, "Haha... Mu Xi is too modest. It's just a casual discussion, don't take it seriously."

Su Xiang coughed, and then the two of them noticed Su Xiang.

"Xian'er."

Fang Muxi stood up and said, "My cousin is here."

Su wanted to return the favor, "Cousin."

A few people sat down to talk, and then Fang Muxi revealed his purpose. It turned out that he came here just to visit Su Xiangguo, burn some incense for his aunt, and meet his cousin Su Xiang.

Su Xiangguo pondered for a while and said with emotion: "It's hard for you to still miss your aunt and Xiang'er. I think back then, my wife had just passed away, and your father hated me to the bone and threatened to cut off relations with me. I always felt guilty and dared not take Xiang'er with me. Went to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, it was Mu Xi who came to see us now... Things are unpredictable..."

Su Xiang's expression changed slightly.

She always thought that Fang Muxi's family had no feelings for her and her mother, which was why the two families had not interacted with each other all year round. But it turned out that this was not the case?

I can't help it, my childhood memories are too vague. Su Xiang had long forgotten Mrs. Su's appearance. Magistrate Fang and others only came once on the day of Mrs. Su's death. They made a big fuss at that time. Su Xiang could only remember that everyone was sad.

As for Fang Muxi, Su Xiang only vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he didn't laugh as much as he does now. At that time, he was more like a delicate doll without emotions. He looked at him numbly and his words were extremely cold.

"It was you who killed my aunt."

The young self at that time was frightened and cried. Su Xiangguo was busy comforting her. Fang Muxi's father also showed the same cold eyes as his son, looked at her for a while and turned away. They have never been here since, and I have never looked for them.

In fact, they only temporarily disliked Su Xiang and Su Xiangguo because of Mrs. Su's death. Su Xiangguo also felt guilty and dared not visit, so the two families became more and more estranged.

Fang Muxi showed an understanding expression: "When my aunt passed away, my father and mother were extremely sad. They really didn't want to come to Kyoto, so they stayed in Jiangzhou all year round. I was ignorant and did wrong things back then. In fact, when my aunt passed away I don’t blame you at all.”

As Su Xiangguo listened, he thought of his wife who died young, and felt sad in his heart. He took a deep breath, turned his head, and told Su Xiang.

"Xian'er, please take Mu Xi to the ancestral hall. My father... wants to stay quietly for a while."

Su wanted to get up: "Okay, father."

"Uncle, Mu Xi will say goodbye first."

Fang Muxi said goodbye to Su Xiangguo, who looked sad, and then followed Su Xiang out.

Originally, Fang Muxi was supposed to visit his ancestor, but unfortunately, his ancestor returned to his parents' home, so Su Xiang took him directly to the ancestral hall.

Fang Muxi burned three sticks of incense and kowtowed several times respectfully to Mrs. Su's memorial tablet. When she got up, her usual smile was gone, and there was still a trace of sadness that had not faded from her expression.

After finally walking out of the ancestral hall, Fang Muxi had already calmed down and said, "Thank you cousin for bringing me here."

Su Xiang shook his head, "You're welcome."

It is understandable that paying homage to relatives is a heavy thing. She even envied Fang Muchi. She had no impression of this biological mother at all, so naturally she couldn't feel the sadness.

Looking at the sun, Su Xiang asked casually: "It's getting late, does my cousin want to have a meal at Su's house?"

Fang Muxi shook his head: "I still have some things to deal with later, so I won't stay."

"Okay, then I'll see you off." Su took Fang Muxi toward the door without even thinking.

Although the two are relatives, they are strangers than ordinary people, so they were extremely silent along the way.

When they were approaching the gate of Su Mansion, Fang Muxi suddenly spoke and asked a question that surprised Su Xiang: "Cousin, how are you... getting along with Su Wan?"

Su Xiang raised an eyebrow and told the truth.

"Hmm... not very good."

After hearing her words, Fang Muxi pondered for a moment. He lowered his head and stared at Su Xiang. There was a strange brilliance in his eyes that were always smiling.

"Then cousin, why don't you listen to my advice."

"?"

Fang Muxi glanced at Qingyun behind Su Xiang, approached her, and kept her voice extremely low.

"Su Wan is not simple. You must not trust her. It is best to stay away from her and the people around her."

Su Xiang's heart stirred up, but he nodded calmly, "I understand, thank you cousin for reminding me."

Fang Muxi was on the male protagonist's side at first, but now he actually warns her to stay away from Su Wan? Judging from the meaning of his words, I am afraid that he has made himself wary not only of Su Wan, but also of the second prince Xiao Mo behind Su Wan.

Did Fang Muxi know something that made him become like this?

Su Xiang raised his head and stared at Fang Muxi critically. He also looked at Su Xiang with a smile. Neither of them noticed that the distance was a little close at this moment, nor did they notice the big change in Qingyun's face.

Suddenly, a bone-chilling voice sounded.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

Su Xiang came back to his senses, turned around and saw Lin Xueman, who was staring at him not far away.

At this moment, his masseter muscles were pulsing and veins were stretched on his neck. His eyes were cold and sharp as he stared at Fang Muxi next to Su Xiang, like a wolf whose territory had been invaded.

After Fang Muxi saw the young man's appearance, the smile on his face instantly disappeared without a trace, and his eyes swayed.
