Chapter 137 - Break the cocoon

"Whoa, hey, Aunt Hong, it's the first time I've ever heard you say something that long at once and make sense of it! The connotation is buried deep!" Qian Wanjin playfully laughed.

"The convention is about to commence, so it's impossible to find a vacant inn in the city at this time. We won't stay here for long anyway. The convention will be over in three or four days at most, so shall we make do with what we have, Nannan? I really can't find anything to fault in this small courtyard. It's peaceful and quiet, clean, cozy, and it provides satisfactory service. All of which are merits, but no one else has had the chance to live here."

Da Huang also blinked at Liu Yusheng.

One to three.

Liu Yusheng could only nod, "I always feel that something isn't quite right. Anyway, everyone should be more alert for the next few days while living here. Just think of me as a villain. It doesn't hurt to always take precautions."

The young master, Qian Wanjin, and his servant nodded.

Wei Hong quietly turned her face aside. Having guarded the girl for so many years, she knew too well how vigilant she was. Master would lose.

Since it was the Chamber of Commerce, many merchants had already come to this side to book stalls and display and sell a wave of their own products before the Chamber officially started. So walking along the street, the entrance merchandise can be described as a wide variety.

Since it was a commercial convention, many merchants had already arrived at the location, put up stalls, and displayed and sold a wave of their own products before the convention officially started. So walking along the street, the display of merchandise could be described as a dazzling array of beautiful exhibits.

There were silk fabrics, embroidery, medicinal herbs, as well as gold, gems, and jade… Products that could be displayed during the convention were all top-grade products in all walks of life.

Liu Yusheng was interested in medicines and medicinal herbs, so she went straight to the medicine area and searched among them for patent medicines that Baicao Valley produced.

"Why isn't there any? Didn't they say that people from Baicao Valley would come? I didn"t see their signboard."

"… Could it be that they were late and didn't put up a booth? It's also possible that they're waiting for the convention to start to display their goods. Baicao Valley has always been mysterious, so it's not surprising if they acted strangely," Qian Wanjin subconsciously explained to pacify her.

Liu Yusheng narrowed her pretty eyes. "It can't be that Baicao Valley wasn't on the list of participants at all, right?"

"How could it be! The invitation I received detailed the merchants in attendance, and it did have Baicao Valley on it! I'll show you when I get back if you don't believe me!" There she went again. That little look in her eyes, like he was a big liar. Could he lie to her?

His eyes didn't flicker; there was no sweat on his nose; and there was no sign of a guilty conscience on his face, which was why Liu Yusheng turned her gaze away and let the him go.

Now that she couldn't see what she wanted to see, she lost interest.

"Since they aren't here now, we'll wait another day. The convention starts tomorrow. Are you afraid you won't see them?" Qian Wanjin couldn"t bear to see her in a mood. "Didn't you always like to collect precious herbs? There will definitely be no shortage of treasures you can see this time, so you'll have to brace yourself to grab them!"
