Chapter 304 Pretending to be a Couple

The sky was already dark, and a cool breeze was flowing through the mountains.

Seeing that Jiang Yuzhu looked tired, Shen Zhilan got off the carriage.

Outside the carriage, Yan Lin was wandering around with his servant Xiao Wu, hesitating whether to disturb Jiang Yuzhu.

Shen Zhilan took the initiative to greet him, "Doctor Yan, it's so late, do you have any urgent business?"

The implication is that if it is not an extremely urgent matter, it is best to deal with it tomorrow.

Her meaning was very clear, but unfortunately Yan Lin had never been very good at understanding the ways of the world. He nodded heavily, but he refused to reveal any important information.

Seeing Yan Lin's defensive look as if not wanting to ask any more questions, Shen Zhilan twitched her lips, swung her handkerchief and strode away.

After the person left, Yan Lin looked around with a sly look, and when he saw that there was no movement, he said, "Madam Xie, have you rested?"

It's not a good idea for Yan Lin to appear so late at night, as they are alone with each other, so it's time to take advantage of Yan Lin's identity as a doctor.

"Yan is going to check your pulse for you."

Yan Lin made an excuse and was invited to the carriage.

Seeing Yan Lin's defensive expression, the maids, except Hong Jin, all retreated.

Yan Lin looked around and said hesitantly, "Madam Xie, the powder used by Boss Ma and Cuilan is a banned drug in Da Qi. We must track it down."

He thought carefully and realized that the Yan family had a book which was kept in a secret room and was safer than any other thing, gold or silver.

"I have a problem with fainting when I see blood, so I often hide away and like to read some miscellaneous books."

Yan Lin had entered the secret room and read the Yan family's book. He rubbed his face vigorously, his face pale and blue, and said with difficulty: "Thank you, Madam, you and I have some friendship..."

To say or not to say?

Yan Lin was very conflicted. He thought about it over and over again. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he decided to confess.

"In the Yan family's classics, there is a method to purify rice husk flowers!"

Only the clan leader could enter the secret room. Yan Lin was interested in the medicinal herbs and looked through them secretly. He left quietly afterwards without his father knowing about it.

Jiang Yuzhu stood up, her pupils slightly contracted, and asked: "Doctor Yan, what do you mean..."

"Do you need to make it clearer? Yan suspects that the powder he sells is made by Daddy!"

Yan Lin let out a breath and showed a heartbroken expression.

He just suspected it and couldn't be sure.

So after returning to Jiangnan, Yan Lin originally wanted to stay in the manor under his name for a while, but he changed his plan and decided to go back to his clan first.

"If Daddy did it, there is no way the Yan Mansion doesn't have any clues."

Yan Lin clutched his chest and almost couldn't breathe.

After all, he is his biological father, so of course he wants to hide it, but some people have already lost their families because of this, and this powder is something that can kill people.

Even if it brings huge profits and overwhelming wealth, if it is based on immorality, will the Yan family still prosper?

Purifying forbidden medicinal materials is a serious crime punishable by execution of the entire family!

"Thank you, Madam. Even if I wanted to cover up for you, I can't fill such a big hole by myself."

Yan Lin knew Jiang Yuzhu's character. He knew that she was loyal to her friends and would never be blinded by interests, so he was willing to speak out.

In the carriage, under the light of the candle, Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were somewhat indifferent. She played with the teapot in her hand and waited for a long time before saying, "So, you are praying for the safety of the entire Yan family?"

Da Qi has its own laws, and Jiang Yuzhu’s words do not count.

What's more, we can't be sure that the powder will leak out from Yan's house.

However, the clues provided by Yan Lin pointed directly to Jiangnan, which was very helpful for Jiang Yuzhu's investigation.

Yan Lin lowered his head in pain, his voice hoarse, "Since you have made a mistake, you must be punished. So many families with ancestral property have been torn apart and have fallen into ruin. If it was Dad who did it, how can he not take responsibility?"

"Dad is ambitious and may go astray for the prosperity of the clan. It would be great if he could just leave one life behind."

He is willing to bear the rest of the consequences and make meritorious contributions at the cost of his punishment.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't say anything final, but said: "Let me think about it first, but the matter of the powder is a secret."

"Yan knows this."

If discovered by his tribesmen, Yan Lin would be the first to be silenced. If he talked about family affection with his tribesmen, they might regard him as a stumbling block.

After Yan Lin left, Jiang Yuzhu put down the teapot and asked Hong Jin, "Are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

As Hong Jin spoke, she took out a wrapped small cage from the car bench, opened the cloth cover on one side, revealing two lively little white mice.

"I bought the most energetic looking mouse."

Hong Jin went into the carriage's bathroom to pack up the cage, then asked, "Madam, when do we start?"

"Now."

There are many people around during the day, especially Hongli. Although he is tight-lipped about his own affairs, he has an outspoken personality.

This is a serious matter, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"Feed three times a day, and feed regularly for the first three days."

The price of magic powder is expensive, and a small package can be sold at a sky-high price, so you still have to use it sparingly.

After being fed the mouse food mixed with magic powder, the two little mice were full and each occupied a position, lying there obediently.

After three days of doing this, the two little mice became noticeably more active.

During the day, Jiang Yuzhu was worried that she would be exposed, so she went to talk to Shen Zhilan in her carriage.

On the fourth day, the feeding schedule changed.

After the first meal, there is a long interval between the second meal.

At night, Jiang Yuzhu returned to the carriage to observe. The two little white mice were screaming loudly and turning in circles in the cage, obviously showing signs of being very anxious.

"Ma'am, hello?"

If you let the mouse squeaking any longer, there's no guarantee that the sound will get out.

But the good thing is that when you sleep outdoors, the sound of rats won’t arouse suspicion.

"Hello!"

Jiang Yuzhu watched the mouse eat the rat food with added ingredients and then became satisfied again.

In just three days, the mice were already showing symptoms of addiction.

It is worthy of being purified. When used on humans, it has a strong aftereffect.

Jiang Yuzhu began to think about Yan Lin's proposal again, and did not hide it from Hong Xiu and Hong Jin, saying: "Yan Lin is an upright person, but not smart enough. If the Yan family really finds out, he will definitely confess."

Jiang Yuzhu didn’t care about it before, but now they are partners and friends, so she has to consider it a little.

Hong Xiu nodded, thinking that what the lady said was right, and asked, "Then will you still send Yan Lin to go there?"

If we can really steal the books and find evidence, we can use the clues to find the person behind it, which will be a great achievement!

Even if the Yan family committed a serious mistake, they might be spared the death penalty because of Yan Lin's contributions.

"Go, but not just Yan Lin."

Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the two maids, and finally landed on Hongxiu. She clapped her hands and said, "I have an idea, but Hongxiu will have to bear with it."

Yan Lin can't do it alone, but if there are more people, the chances of success will be higher.

"Hong Xiu and Yan Lin are quite familiar with each other. By pretending to be Yan Lin's wife, she can also get the red envelope given by the elders of the Yan family. Not bad!"

Jiang Yuzhu came up with a bad idea. Hong Xiu, who was named, was petrified instantly. She pointed at the tip of her nose and said, "Madam, are you saying that you want me to follow Yan Lin back to the mansion?"
