Doctor Jiang had returned to the town first; Meng Zhuqing only planned to head back to town after everything was settled with An Jing and Xiao Changyi and he was sure he wasn't needed anymore.
But before returning to the town, Meng Zhuqing carefully asked An Jing, "Madam, it's even hotter in the county, and I'd like to share the method of making ice with my elder brother so he can also use it to cool off. Is that alright?"
"Of course," An Jing agreed without any hesitation. At the same time, she thought to herself that although Meng Zhuqing was always bullied by Meng Lanqing, he still cared a great deal about his elder brother.
"Thank you, Madam!" Meng Zhuqing was very pleased.
After leaving An Jing and Xiao Changyi, Meng Zhuqing returned to TipLiu Town. However, he did not stay there long as he mounted a fast horse and headed for Hecheng County.
By the time Meng Zhuqing arrived in the county, it was already dark, and An's Rice Shop had closed for the night.
