Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Sisters Addressing Each Other

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan exchanged a glance.

Ah Qiang said, "I also heard on the road that the court is catching a river and sea bandit with a white eye veil."

Ye Yiheng asked quietly, "Is this river and sea bandit a blind man?"

"Isn’t that strange? But since the announcement has been made, there must be no mistake," Ah Qiang said as he went to look at Leng Yu Yan writing the prescriptions.

Leng Yu Yan’s hand tightened on the pen, but she quickly calmed down and wrote two recipes, specifying which was for a man and which was for a woman.

Setting down the pen, she smiled and said, "Brother Aqiang and Sister-in-law Ali aren’t infertile, just wait until after some treatments, and you will be able to conceive."

The family of four looked at the prescriptions and thanked Leng Yu Yan profusely.

The old uncle looked at the beautiful characters on the rice paper, "You should come to our house again in the future!"

Aunt nudged him with her elbow, "What are you saying? Naturally, we should personally go to thank them!"

"Right, right, right!" Ah Qiang added, "Having many grandchildren is something my wife and I wouldn’t even dare to dream of. Even if Ali and I have just a son and a daughter, we must go and thank them!"

Ali blushed and asked Leng Yu Yan quietly, "Young miss, I’m already thirty, can I really still have children?"

"Thirty is not old at all, why couldn’t you?" Leng Yu Yan patted her arm, "Having the right mindset is very important. Relax, and once your body is conditioned, you’ll be able to conceive."

Hearing this, Ah Qiang was overjoyed and took off the waist token tied to his belt and handed it to Ye Yiheng, "Take this for safety on your journey now that the river and sea bandit is at large. This token is from the boat team; if you take a boat, you can save quite a bit of copper coin with it."

"Thank you!" Ye Yiheng glanced at the bamboo waist token and tucked it into his waistband.

Aunt packed some freshly steamed buns into a cloth bag and handed them to Leng Yu Yan, "Eat these if you get hungry on the road."

"Okay."

Leng Yu Yan accepted with a smile and left the small farmhouse with Ye Yiheng.

The family of four waved goodbye to them with smiles.

Half an hour after Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan had left, Ah Qiang and Ali told the two elders about the hardships of running boats for the past few years.

Aunt thought about how hard their journey back had been and told her son and daughter-in-law to rest in the house.

Upon entering the house, the couple was surprised to discover two silver ingots on the small square table and quickly ran out with the silver.

"Mom, Dad, look!"

Aunt murmured, "It must have been left by that young couple!"

In the midst of speaking, she slapped her thigh, "We didn’t even ask their names or where they are from. How will we find them to express our gratitude?"

"We haven’t made this much money in all our years of boating!" Ah Qiang exclaimed joyfully, "The people you took in are truly our family’s benefactors!"

With those two silver ingots, starting a business and becoming wealthy was no longer an issue.

Having the recipes to condition their bodies, once they had a son and a daughter, they would be able to hold their heads up high in the village.

Meanwhile, Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan had just crossed over a small hill.

Looking down the hill, they saw soldiers at the foot of the hill checking a portrait of someone with a white eye veil.

Leng Yu Yan nervously clutched his two fingers, "What should we do?"

Ye Yiheng reassured her, "Stay calm, the portrait might not resemble me accurately—it’s just the eye veil that makes you think it’s me."

The top of the hill was not far from the bottom, and Leng Yu Yan pulled him into the woods to avoid being spotted by the people at the foot of the hill.

"Lin State is next to Capital City, and if these soldiers are people sent by the second or third prince, then you’re exposed!"

Hearing her reasonable point, Ye Yiheng asked, "What do you suggest?"

Leng Yu Yan suggested, "Let’s change direction and take a different route."

"You can make human skin masks, so why don’t we wear one and just go?"

She shook her head, "Without the materials, I can’t make a Human Skin Mask."

The two walked a few more steps into the woods when Leng Yu Yan suddenly thought of a method and smiled, "Although we can’t make a Human Skin Mask, we can disguise ourselves. I guarantee people won’t recognize you."

He asked, "How should we disguise?"

Leng Yu Yan giggled and leaned close to him, "Aunt gave us steamed buns, I’ll stuff two under your chest then you wear my clothes, and we’ll call each other sisters."

"Sisters?" Ye Yiheng narrowed his phoenix eyes.

"Mhm, isn’t my idea good?"

While speaking, she took out a steamed bun and stuffed it into his clothes.

Ye Yiheng grabbed her restless wrist, his gaze cold as an ice blade as he stared into her eyes, "Are you sure you want to do this, hmm?"

Chilled by his icy gaze, Leng Yu Yan withdrew her hand and bitterly bit a large chunk off the bun, "Why be so fierce?"

Ye Yiheng felt a headache coming on, was he fierce?

He softened his tone, "Besides, I can’t fit into your clothes."

"That’s true, there aren’t women that tall." Leng Yu Yan talked to herself, "A woman that tall walking on the road would attract even more suspicion."

She chewed on the bun, unable to eat any more, and broke off the unbitten half, holding it under his eyes.

"Can you help me finish this, please?"

"Hm?"

Ye Yiheng frowned, the woman really had nerve, daring to ask him to eat what she had eaten.

"Food shouldn’t be wasted, I haven’t touched this half with my mouth at all!"

Hearing the word ’mouth,’ he thought of that night’s kiss. Ye Yiheng coughed lightly, grabbed the half bun, and gnawed on it.

Leng Yu Yan, oblivious to his inner turmoil, blinked her beautiful eyes at him.

"Thank you so much! To show my gratitude, I’ll make some changes to your face."

As Ye Yiheng methodically ate the bun, he asked in a bland voice, "What changes?"

"How about sticking on a sideburn beard? You don’t mind, right?"

He nodded, "Sure."

Leng Yu Yan took out scissors from her bundle and snipped off some of her lower hair.

Seeing this, he asked, "Why not use mine?"

She explained, "Your hair is stiff, mine is softer, it’s more comfortable to have soft hair on the face."

Ye Yiheng remembered that he had taken one of her hair strands and asked Song Guo to store it in a brocade box, now kept in the Eastern Palace. He wondered what the Eastern Palace looked like now, and whether the brocade box with her hair was still there.

Before long, the sideburn beard was attached. Leng Yu Yan took out an eyebrow pencil. Without a mirror, she had to ask for his help, "Can you spot one at the end of my eye?"

Ye Yiheng took the eyebrow pencil and pointed half an inch below the corner of her eye, "How about here?"

She replied, "Yes, dot it."

Ye Yiheng gently dotted it, and a small black mole appeared at the corner of her eye, adding a touch of charm to her already stunning face.

Her face as delicate as a lotus, her appearance akin to that of a fairy.

Seeing him stare at her, Leng Yu Yan asked, "Does my look not seem much changed?"

He honestly said, "It hasn’t changed much, but it’s not completely unchanged."

"Then dot my entire face."

"No," he refused, "It is I they are after, not you, no need for such a big change."

Leng Yu Yan took out two outer garments from her bundle, one dark green, one lilac, both cotton and of the style worn by common folk.
