In a moment, a man in a short shirt approached Pei'er, and the two whispered, as if they were plotting something.

"Are all you said true?"

The man looked at Pei'er suspiciously, as if he didn't quite believe what she said.

Pei'er's face flushed red as he stared at her. She held out her hand and swore, "It's absolutely true. I guarantee it with my life!"

"I followed Madam a couple of days ago. She went to see that old man surnamed Huang that day. Today, I tried to inquire about her shop. She first said she had some problems, so she hadn't opened it yet. But then she immediately said everything was resolved. Then, that man surnamed Huang showed up, and Madam was particularly nervous about him. Isn't that obvious enough?"

The man was convinced by her words and nodded, a sinister smile finally appearing in his eyes.

“Well done!”

"If what you said is true, then you have performed a great deed. The Second Miss will vent her anger and will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Your future is limitless!"

Listening to the man's words, Pei'er smiled even more happily, nodded repeatedly, and looked flattering.

"I have to thank you, brother, for speaking well of me to the Second Miss."

She handed over a silver ingot.

The man took it in his hand, weighed it, and his smile became even brighter.

The person hiding behind saw this scene and felt nauseous. He almost wanted to vomit out the breakfast he had just eaten. Seeing that the two were almost done, he ran back to the mansion and reported to Gu Qing.

Old Huang looked at the little maid and Gu Qing whispering, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"But what's going on in the mansion?"

"If I can't go today, it will be the same tomorrow."

Mr. Huang said very considerately.

Gu Qingdan smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that a rat took the bait!"

"oh?"

Although Mr. Huang didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions.

Afterwards, Gu Qing not only ordered his servants to prepare the carriage, but also specially found a few carts, which were filled with medicinal herbs.

Mr. Huang stared in amazement for a long while before he finally came to his senses.

He pointed at the car with a trembling hand and said to Gu Qing, "Did you rob a drugstore somewhere?"

No, looking at the number, it’s not just one pharmacy, but several pharmacies!

Gu Qing smiled and didn't care much.

"I can't help it. The dowry my family gave me is really too generous!"

Huang Laochen took a deep breath and finally accepted the fact. At the same time, he refused to get on the carriage again, but insisted on following the cart.

His eyes were completely glued to the herbs and couldn't be peeled away.

…

Inside the village.

The villagers were looking forward to it, stretching their necks, waiting for the appearance of Gu Qing and Mr. Huang.

"Can they come?"

"I think it's pretty bad. They're not stupid. We're all broke. The whole village's money combined can't even buy a hairpin for that girl. Why would they come again?"

The man took a deep breath, his expression somewhat regretful.

If I had known yesterday, I should have squeezed in a little more, maybe my son could have been saved!

Thinking about holding the child in my arms last night and seeing his little face flushed with fever, my heart ached and I felt even more guilty.

It’s all his fault!

"That's not necessarily true!"

Gouzi was also in the group, still wearing the ill-fitting 'new shoes' given to him by Mr. Huang. His face flushed, he retorted, "They are all good people, they will definitely keep their word."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people almost overwhelmingly stood by the dog.

They really don’t want their savior, who finally appeared, to be destroyed just like that!

In this way, they waited from the moment the sun rose until almost noon, but still did not see any figure.

Many people were already sick and weak, and after a while they couldn't help but start to stagger.

"You're not really not coming!"

Some people complained that it was a waste of time and turned away.

But there are still some who persist.

After another half hour, the dog saw the carriages and horses in the distance and shouted excitedly.

“Here it comes! Here it comes!”

The others followed his gaze and were also shocked.

It’s really here!

Not only did the person arrive, but there were also five or six carts following behind him, all filled with medicinal herbs.

"We are saved, we are really saved!"

Everyone had tears in their eyes.

As soon as Gu Qing and Mr. Huang arrived, they swarmed over and stuffed the only eggs, mushrooms, etc. they had in their homes into their mouths.

Leading the group was the old lady whom Gu Qing had supported yesterday.

She looked at the two of them, a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Thank you, benefactors. Without you, all of us would just be waiting to die."

"These eggs are laid by our own chickens. There aren't many of them, but this is just a small token of our appreciation."

Gu Qing knew that they were not rich, and these seemingly pitiful eggs might be the only valuable thing in the house.

I usually don’t want to eat them and save them one by one to pay back the money, but now I give them all to myself.

She waved her hands quickly, trying to refuse, "No, no, Auntie, we can't have this..."

"You take it!"

When the old lady saw that she refused to accept it, her face changed with anxiety.

"We don't have anything valuable, but I feel bad that you're being treated for free and having to pay for the medicine yourself."

"I know these things are not as good as those medicines, but at least it makes me feel better."

The others also nodded and echoed in unison.

Seeing that they were so persistent, Gu Qing had no choice but to glance at Mr. Huang.

Mr. Huang understood their feelings and nodded towards Gu Qing.

Gu Qing immediately understood and accepted everything in a friendly manner.

Then he instructed the servants he brought with him to distribute the herbs to everyone according to what he and Chen Zhizhou had recorded yesterday.

"If you have forgotten anything or are unclear about something, please come and ask me!"

"Those who didn't see the doctor yesterday can continue today!"

Following her words, everyone lined up consciously. Without further ado, everything was in perfect order.

Meanwhile, in the other corner.

Gu Miao, dressed in a goose yellow skirt and a veil on her head, saw all of this and turned to the man behind her and said coldly, "Find an opportunity to stir up trouble!"

Her face, hidden behind the curtain, was as red and swollen as a pig's head.

Thinking about the day when she returned home and was scolded and slapped by her father, her expression instantly became hideous and terrifying.

It’s all the fault of that bitch Gu Qing!

She has harmed herself to this point, so she can forget about having a good life.

"yes."

The man lowered his head and responded, already having an idea in mind.

…

For two consecutive days, Gu Qing and Mr. Huang provided free medical treatment in the village and gained a good reputation.

"Madam, something bad has happened!"

That day, the servant reported in a panic.

"A lot of people have come to our mansion, crying and wailing, insisting...that you and Doctor Huang killed their son. Now there's a huge crowd watching, and even the government has been alerted!"
