Leaving the Lin Mansion, Xiao Chong and Dugu Di rode back to the county government, each with their personal guards.
Based on the recipe handwritten by Lin Wanwan and a few small firecrackers they brought home, the two began to study in the main hall.
After a long time, Dugu Di put down what he was holding and said blandly, "Zifang, that Village Lady of Le'an has many secrets. Does she have hidden forces behind her? Which side do they belong to?"
Xiao Chong replied casually, "Forget about the irrational things, don't overthink it. There aren't that many hidden forces, she's just some cousin."
Dugu Di faced Xiao Chong, was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Okay, I understand."
"These firecrackers aren't very lethal, it's a pity. But selling them could be a lucrative business." Xiao Chong pushed away the fragments of two firecrackers he had dismantled, then lit another one and threw it out the window toward the osmanthus tree.
"Bang!"
