Nanny Chen nodded and briefly explained how Marquis Pingyang was demoted to a commoner.

Qiu Qinghe also sighed. That lady was now reaping the fruits of her own actions. If she hadn't planned on Yinong, how could she have ended up like this?

You deserve it.

"Qinghe, take your grandparents to see Aunt Jiang. Come over for dinner later. If you want to reunite in the courtyard, I'll have someone bring you food."

"Thank you Yinong." Qiu Qinghe didn't dare to be polite to Qiu Yinong.

Qiu Yinong smiled at her and walked towards the hall.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were all there, and Qiu Hanyan had a look on his face that said, "No strangers allowed."

When Qiu Yinong stepped into the hall, everyone looked at her, then at Qiu Hanyan. After Qiu Yinong sat down.

Chong Qiu Hanyan asked, "Did your headmaster scheme against Third Brother this time?"

Qiu Hanyan looked up at Qiu Yinong in shock: "Yier, how did you know?"

"Your face." And I'm familiar with the previous plot, it's pretty much the same.

"I never thought that my mentor would plot against me like this. If Zi Yao hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have completely lost my name."

When talking about being plotted against, Qiu Hanyan became furious.

"Your principal?" Father Qiu was dumbfounded. How could a teacher like you plot against his own students?

Isn’t this unworthy of being a teacher?

Qiu Wanjin could understand a little: "I'm afraid the headmaster thinks the third daughter is well-educated and has a good chance of getting into high school, so he wants to find a good home for his daughter."

"This is not uncommon. Your second uncle almost got into trouble too."

"Ah? My second brother has also encountered this?" Father Qiu was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Sun Guiying nodded and continued, "If I hadn't noticed that Master Ziru's wife looked amiss, I'm afraid a disaster would have really occurred."

"They all gave your second brother an aphrodisiac."

When he heard about aphrodisiac, Qiu Hanyan's face turned even darker.

Mother Qiu was surprised: "Son, you wouldn't..."

"Well, I was caught off guard and drank the drugged wine."

"Luckily, I wasn't the only one invited to the banquet. When I realized something was wrong, I quickly took the detoxification pill my sister gave me."

"Then you haven't been tricked, so why are you still looking so gloomy?" Mother Qiu was even more confused.

Zi Yao stepped forward and said, "It's like this. After the Third Young Master detoxified himself, he escaped from the house. The girl from the Headmaster's family also took a mild dose of the drug."

"The Third Young Master had a classmate who was in love with that girl. He somehow knew about the Headmaster's plan and wanted to get the Third Young Master out and find him a prostitute."

"But the Third Young Master came out of the room on his own. He was afraid that things wouldn't work out, so he went back in."

"Afterwards, he didn't want to admit it, so he walked out of the house."

"The headmaster and his men thought that the Third Young Master had slept with the headmaster's daughter, so they detained him."

"Luckily, I happened to be passing through Wen County. Since there was a flood, I thought I could bring the Third Young Master back with me. I went to the headmaster's house, but the gatekeeper wouldn't let me in."

"I felt that this matter was suspicious, so I asked Lord Guo to come."

"After Lord Guo's judgment, the truth has finally been revealed, and the Third Young Master has not been wrongly accused."

After hearing this, the Qiu family members all opened their mouths wide. It was so complicated and ridiculous. It was truly an unexpected disaster.

"This headmaster's character is truly questionable. If he really has a crush on our third son, can't he find a matchmaker to come over?"

"Why do you only think about doing such dirty things?" Mother Qiu was also very angry. She was happy when San'er was able to become the dean's disciple.

They never thought that others would plot against them in this way.

Seeing his mother angry, Qiu Hanyan quickly spoke to comfort her: "It's okay, I don't need to go back anyway. When the flood recedes, I will set off to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination."

"That's fine."

"Okay, A Yan just came back and is tired. Let him go and rest for a while." Sun Guiying said.

Qiu Hanyan stood up and bowed: "Grandma, I'm fine. The water was flowing fast, so I came back much faster than usual. I'm not very tired."

"Then sit down and rest for a while. Yier, how's the situation at the village entrance?" Qiu Wanjin looked at Qiu Yinong and asked.

Qiu Yinong told Qiu Wanjin about the rescue and diagnosis he had done today. When Qiu Wanjin heard that chickens in the neighboring village had contracted plague, he became anxious.

After a major disaster, the most feared thing is plague, which is a great calamity.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. I've installed a magical spring at the source of Taohua Village's water. If you can use it for a long time, both humans and livestock will be fine."

"But the situation in other villages is not certain, so I need herbs to treat everyone. I already have most of them, but I'm still short of one or two, which are also available on the mountain."

"I'll go up the mountain to pick some later and boil some medicine for everyone to drink, which will help prevent infection."

"It's not safe on the mountain after the heavy rain." Qiu Wanjin and others disagreed.

Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "It's okay. Skilled people are bold. If it doesn't work out, the boat Zi Yao rented is still available. We can buy one in the county or town."

"Please try to buy as much as possible. A mountain flood just broke out, and we are worried about you going up the mountain to pick them." Mother Qiu also disagreed.

Chu Hongyun said: "Let Baoshun and Ji'an go to purchase the medicinal materials."

Qiu Yinong thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll write it right away and have the captain go right away."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Zi Yao bowed and went out.

Just when we had arranged for Baoshun and the others to purchase some materials, Ziyao came back in a hurry.

"The captain left without permission." Zi Yao reported guiltily.

Qiu Yinong frowned: "Have you paid the money?"

"Not yet. Half of the shipping fee has not been settled. We agreed before that we might need his help later."

Zi Yao reported back.

Qiu Yinong thought of the woman from before and said in a deep voice, "It must be related to the woman from before."

"The captain will come back."

"Dad, inform Fourth Uncle that the whole village is under martial law." Qiu Yinong ordered loudly.

Father Qiu was stunned. Although he didn't understand, he still stood up and walked outside.

Letting Mr. Qiu go is to inform Mr. Qiu of the seriousness of the matter, and he will understand it immediately.

"You should also be on guard. I'm afraid the captain is going to cause trouble."

"Even in the face of a major disaster, we can clearly see the good and evil in human nature." Qiu Yinong said to the servants in his home.

"Yes, Master."

Chu Hongyun walked over to Qiu Yinong and asked, "Do you suspect that the captain would bring refugees or even bandits with him?"

"Well, I knew from the captain's face that he wasn't a good person."

"We'll go to the beech tree too."

The other members of the Qiu family also followed them to the beech tree, and soon all the villagers arrived.

"Everyone should be alert tonight. We are afraid that refugees and bandits may come. The surrounding villages must also be notified."

"Also, we should assign some martial artists in the village to help. There's a high probability that those refugees will come and rob our village first."

When the villagers heard Qiu Yinong's words, they were all furious.

"Are these damned things trying to take advantage of this chaos and disaster to rob people?"
