CHAPTER 60: THAT’S NOT RIGHT

Gu Nian didn’t seem as happy as she appeared on the surface.

She felt that the person who just bought things wasn’t quite normal.

Although she didn’t feel any malice from him, she had clearly asked him at the beginning if he wanted honey, and he was about to leave. But after she sold honey, he returned and bought all the honey.

It seemed like he wasn’t buying honey; he just wanted to buy whatever she was selling.

Gu Nian stood there, lost in thought.

She had only sold one thing from her space before, which was a peach, bought by a guard.

Could it be that the peach was eaten by an injured person, which led someone to discover something unusual?

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Gu Nian frowned slightly, pondering.

"Little sister? Little sister?" Dahu called out several times, but there was no response from Gu Nian, so he patted her on the shoulder.

Gu Nian turned around sharply, "What is it?"

"Little sister, what are you thinking about?" Dahu asked, puzzled.

"I was thinking that those cold noodles were originally intended to test if they would sell well, but they were bought by one person before anyone else could try them. I wonder if other people will like eating them." Gu Nian said.

"Oh, you’re overthinking it!" Dahu laughed and said, "Anyway, the peas aren’t worth much. It’s a good thing the cold noodles sold out so quickly. We can just make more tomorrow to try again. Even if they don’t sell, we still made a good profit today."

Dahu thought that such delicious food should surely be liked by everyone!

Gu Nian also smiled, "We’re out of peas at home. Let’s wait for Dad to come back, and we’ll go buy some more."

As for the things from the space, she’s hesitant to use them for now.

In the Zheng Mansion, Nan Jin Yu was unaware that because he had Wuming follow Gu Nian and purchase the items she sold, it caused Gu Nian to become more cautious.

At the moment, he was being pestered by his cousin.

Zheng Shaochen looked at Zhao Qi and Zhao Shijiu, who were helping to pack things, and said aggrievedly, "Cousin, do you really have to leave? Isn’t it nice to live here? My mother treats you better than she treats me, her own son. As soon as she knew you were coming, she personally tidied up the garden for you, and now you’re leaving after just two days. She’ll be heartbroken!"

While moving things, Zhao Shijiu paused and said with a grin, "Second Young Master, my master came here to recuperate. He needs a quiet place with beautiful scenery. No matter how good it is here, it’s not suitable."

He wasn’t wrong; the Zheng family wasn’t just the wealthiest in the small town but also a renowned noble merchant family in Yunyao.

The place was always bustling with visitors; there was no way his master could peacefully recuperate here.

Besides, Taohua Village was different.

If they could indeed cure the master’s poison, he and Jiu would have accomplished a great deed. Perhaps, returning to the capital, they might even be able to secure an official position and step out of the shadows.

At this moment, Wuxin came in, "Master, Wuming has returned and bought many things."

Only then did a ripple appear in Nan Jin Yu’s eyes, "Oh? Let him in."

After Nan Jin Yu tasted everything Wuming brought back, his handsome face grew more somber.

It wasn’t!

It didn’t have the feeling from that day.

Neither of these things could cure his poison.

Could it be that only the peach has such an effect?

Nan Jin Yu kept contemplating in his heart.

Thinking of this, Nan Jin Yu spoke, "In the past two days, have you seen her go to pick peaches?"

Wuming was the person Nan Jin Yu sent to follow Gu Nian.

Unfortunately, Wuming appeared cold and detached but was actually rather dull and inflexible. Nevertheless, he was more loyal than anyone, which is why Nan Jin Yu had assigned him to follow Gu Nian.
