There were spices for making five-spice powder, some medicinal herbs, as well as oysters and soybeans.
Then Wei Ruo had everyone start working, while she and Xiumei supervised and provided guidance on the side—correcting any mistakes they found in time.
By the time everything was running smoothly, night had fallen.
Although she had been busy the whole day, Wei Ruo felt refreshed and energized.
Indeed, for Wei Ruo, doing what she enjoyed was far easier than engaging in scheming and verbal battles back in the residence!
After leaving the estate, Wei Ruo decided to go eat at Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Xiumei was a little worried. “Miss, we’re still going to Drunken Immortal Restaurant?”
“If we’re going to do business with them, of course the more we understand them, the better. Besides, by the time we return to the Colonel’s Residence, we’ll miss dinner. We might as well eat out. Today’s outfit happens to be appropriate,” Wei Ruo said.
“Miss, I’m constantly worried we’ll be recognized! Last time we went to Drunken Immortal Restaurant, it was because we had no choice while seeking revenge. Today, we were at the estate, which was all our own people—so it didn’t matter even if we were seen. But now we’re going to Drunken Immortal Restaurant like this… I really don’t feel at ease,” Xiumei said with concern.
“If we really get found out, at most it’ll just damage my reputation and make marriage difficult. It’s not such a big deal. I never planned to marry into a good family anyway, so what is there to fear? As long as it doesn’t end with a white silk for me to hang myself*, there’s nothing I need to worry about,” Wei Ruo said calmly.
“Alright then, but I’ll still protect you. I won’t let you be discovered so easily!” Xiumei said firmly.
Though her young lady had her own plans, she still hoped other possibilities would arise—so that her lady wouldn’t really have to marry a dead man and become a widow.
Besides, wasn’t there still Brother Xiao Yong? If he really succeeded, then the young lady would have a strong backer in the future!
When they arrived at Drunken Immortal Restaurant, Wei Ruo asked for a private room on the second floor. Just as they were about to enter, they saw Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang coming out of the room next door.
If Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang were here, did that mean Second Brother was here too?
With a bit of curiosity, Wei Ruo walked to the door of the room next door and was just about to sneak a glance inside when suddenly a hand reached out from the room and pulled her in.
Seeing this, Xiumei quickly stepped forward, pushed away the person who had pulled Wei Ruo, and stood protectively in front of her.
But when she looked carefully, everyone in the room was a familiar face. Back at the residence in the alley, they had all already been introduced to Wei Ruo.
Wei Jinyi himself was also in the room, sitting directly opposite the door.
Xiumei had been ready to fight, but seeing the situation, she relaxed her fists and turned to look at Wei Ruo.
“What were you two sneaking around at the door for?” Zhang Yi, who had pulled Wei Ruo inside, looked at Wei Ruo and Xiumei with great suspicion.
The two were dressed in male attire that day, looking quite odd and even ugly.
Of course, Wei Ruo knew that he hadn’t recognized her. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said cheerfully, “Gentlemen, sorry! I was just passing by. I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“If you didn’t mean anything, then why were you sneaking up so close?” Zhang Yi wasn’t easily convinced.

Although it would sound bad if news got out that a noble young lady dressed as a man and went to a restaurant, it wasn’t something life-threatening. Wei Ruo could bear the consequences.*In ancient Chinese context, "白绫 (white silk)" refers to a traditional method of execution or suicide, particularly for women, often symbolizing a forced or tragic end (like taking one's own life to preserve honor). In this context it means “Anything short of death, I can handle”.
