Shao Qimin arrived with a sharp sword in hand. Xuan Qingkou pointed out that the two individuals were human traffickers, deserving death for their crimes. She reassured Shao Qimin that he would not harm her. Despite the lawless nature of the area, Xuan Qingkou believed the situation needed to be properly handled and set fire to the house, burning it down. Luo Zhizhou gently handed Sun Zhaomin an exquisite sachet, a gift specially prepared for her by Madam Zhang.

Sun Zhaomin accepted the sachet, her eyes lighting up with delight. She carefully examined the finely crafted item from afar, her heart filled with gratitude. In Beixuan, such sachets were rare treasures, only found in the bustling regions of Yannan. Madam Zhang, knowing her fondness for such items, never missed an opportunity to bring her surprises from distant places. Standing nearby, Xuan Lie quietly observed the scene, already formulating a plan in his mind.

He spoke slowly to Sun Zhaomin, saying, "To truly govern Liangzhou, martial skills alone are far from sufficient. " Sun Zhaomin nodded slightly in agreement but showed a trace of confusion. She admitted that she had pondered the matter deeply the previous night but still couldn’t come up with a solution.

Noticing her expression, Xuan Lie smiled faintly and mentioned Jun Qiluo—the young lady of the Jun family in Yannan, who was not only of noble birth but also skilled in embroidery. He suggested that if Sun Zhaomin could learn embroidery under Jun Qiluo’s guidance, she could promote the craft in Liangzhou, providing the people with a livelihood and a path to prosperity. Sun Zhaomin’s eyes lit up at the idea, agreeing that it was an excellent plan.

Sun Zhaomin returned home with an array of Beixuan delicacies, stepping into Jun Qiluo’s residence with great enthusiasm. She eagerly introduced the various specialties, her words filled with pride and affection for her hometown’s flavors. She sincerely invited Jun Qiluo to try each dish, hoping to foster a closer bond between them. Jun Qiluo responded with a warm smile but gently expressed her preference for lighter flavors, noting that some of the stronger-tasting Beixuan dishes might not suit her.

Sun Zhaomin, understanding this, immediately selected a bowl of milk porridge, confidently claiming its delicate and mild flavor would be to Jun Qiluo’s liking. Changing the topic, Sun Zhaomin finally revealed the real purpose of her visit—she hoped Jun Qiluo could teach her embroidery skills to aid Liangzhou’s development. Jun Qiluo, though understanding her request, took a moment to consider it. Later, Jun Qiluo visited Xuan Lie and praised his idea of using embroidery to promote development.

Seizing the opportunity, she proposed her own condition: she wished to use this chance to facilitate trade between Beixuan and Yannan, establishing the Jun family business in Beixuan. Xuan Lie readily agreed, promising to share the profits from the embroidery industry, and they reached an agreement. Shortly after, Jun Qiluo and Sun Zhaomin partnered to open the Silver Embroidery Workshop, which quickly drew public attention.

While some criticized the timing—arguing that opening an embroidery workshop during a food shortage was inappropriate—Jun Qiluo addressed their concerns by emphasizing the trade opportunities and the promise of earning wages. With Xuan Lie’s strong support, the workshop began operating smoothly, marking a new chapter in the collaboration between Beixuan and Yannan. As the Silver Embroidery Workshop gained fame, skeptics questioned its capabilities.

Unfazed, Jun Qiluo showcased an awe-inspiring double-sided embroidery piece, her exceptional craftsmanship earning unanimous praise from all present. Numerous merchants placed orders, eager to acquire her work. Xi Mo reported this success to Xi Zhangkun, his heart filled with displeasure. However, Xi Zhangkun remained calm and confident, appearing to have a plan in mind. Elsewhere, Xuan Lie and Jun Qiluo discussed the three Jun siblings.

Jun Qiluo jokingly described the second young lady’s exceptional embroidery skills and the third young lady’s lively and playful nature, often seen joking around with their eldest brother yet always showing her care for her sisters. Suddenly, trouble struck the Silver Embroidery Workshop. A seamstress fell ill due to exposure to infected animal fur used in the fabric. Xi Zhangkun seized the opportunity to accuse Jun Qiluo, but Xuan Lie stood up for her, dismissing the accusations as utterly absurd.

However, the treatment for the seamstress required ginseng, which had been completely bought out in recent days. Determined, Jun Qiluo promised to find ginseng and ensure timely delivery of the orders, ultimately convincing the merchants with her sincerity. Jun Qiluo and Xuan Lie searched all the pharmacies, only to be told that ginseng was sold out everywhere. They decided to venture into the mountains to harvest wild ginseng themselves.

After enduring many hardships, they finally found a plant, only to be ambushed. They narrowly escaped falling off a cliff, but the ginseng they had gathered was stolen.
