Qiao Xuan smiled and said to Shao Yunduan, “Darling, Chinese fleeceflower root is a very commonly-seen thing. Although it isn’t available everywhere, it is not so difficult to find. Since you have asked for it, Young Master Xie, we will definitely give it our best.”
It was a favor being sent to the door.
It was just a Chinese fleeceflower root over 500 years old.
They could simply go into the mountains to seek for that with her superpower, one mountain after another. They would always find it.
She could even find one which was 300 or 400 years old, and with her superpower, she could urge it to grow faster so the plant became 500 years old…
Young Master Xie was a person whom even her father was afraid of. So, he must be a very important figure.
She had to cozy up to him who was so powerful. It would be a pity to let go of this chance.
Hearing what Qiao Xuan said, Shao Yunduan almost burst out in helplessness. She was lucky, indeed, but she should not be this arrogant!
After all, luck was an uncertain thing. It could not be touched or felt. Who could predict what might happen next?
But he did not counter her when they were facing outsiders.
He was worried, though, that she would say something that could not be realized, so Shao Yunduan added. “Yes, we will surely try, but we can’t guarantee a good result.”
Yuezheng Xiao looked at both of them and then finally at Manager Qin. This couple looked to be quite unreliable.
They seemed too indifferent, when they spoke about this matter.
Manager Qin, however, was very confident about the couple. He added with a smile. “Yes, yes, please, Young Master Shao and Madame Shao. Just go and do the needful. I will be waiting for your good news!”
“…”
By this point, even Xie Jingrong found that they seemed unreliable.
He thought that it would always be better, if they could entrust Manager Qin to find some other helpers as well.
There were many mountains in the county and the possibility seemed relatively small of just two people finding the requisite root.
“We will!” said Shao Yunduan as he got up, saying goodbye to them.
Manager Qin did not keep them, but asked his employees to open the door to fetch the seeds of notoginseng and false starwort for them.
Qiao Xuan looked at Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao, not knowing what to say.
Manager Qin did not know about her and County Magistrate Qiao’s relationship, and she did not want more people to know about this, which might cause trouble.
She wondered if these two people would spill out her real identity…
Yuezheng Xiao noticed her behavior and smiled. “Anything you would like to say, Madame Shao?”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Should we deliver Chinese fleeceflower roots to Mingren Tang directly?”
Xie Jingrong answered. “Yes.”
“Okay…” Qiao Xuan nodded and said, “Me and my husband are just common, ordinary villagers in the mountains, and we have no strong background behind us, nor do we know much about what is going on around, but we know what is in the mountains, so we will try our best to find it!”
Shao Yunduan instantly understood what Qiao Xuan meant. He added frankly. “Yes, so please wait for our message patiently, and if the deal fails, please forgive us… that is all…”
Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao were both smart men. They thought for a while and eventually understood what the couple meant.
Yuezheng Xiao laughed involuntarily. “No worries!”
