Chapter 55: Qi Family

Sang Yu's face was full of surprise, and Sun Erniang only then noticed something was wrong, "You don't know?"

Sang Yu shook her head.

"Ouch... I said the wrong thing. I revealed your husband's surprise." Sun Erniang said as she ran back to the store.

But Sang Yu suddenly smiled, and the gloom of many days was swept away.

This weird man.

Sang Yu went to the Jishi Pharmacy in Qilai County again. After checking the accounts for a while, he found nothing unusual. Sang Yu gave some instructions before leaving.

But he didn't expect to be blocked by someone as soon as he walked out of the door.

"Sister, it's been a while since we last met. Why don't we talk?"

Sang Yu sneered.

In the back room of the pharmacy, Shopkeeper Wu's wife brought two cups of tea.

Seeing that she was pregnant, Sang Yu quickly took it and let her go to rest.

Lin Yueyue sneered in her heart when she saw this.

It is not presentable.

Even now that he is the master, he cannot change his poor nature. He even rushes to do a servant's work. It's really shameful.

But he put on a kind face and said, "Sister, how are you these days? I came to look for you several times in the past few days, but I didn't see you. I thought you were worried too much recently and fell ill!"

Sang Yu sneered. This was probably a deliberate test to see if she had quarreled with Yu Zhiheng because of what happened last time!

"My husband has been a bit clingy these days, so he didn't come. I didn't expect to keep you waiting for so long."

Sang Yu took a sip of tea and saw from the corner of his eye that Lin Yueyue was clutching her clothes tightly, obviously extremely angry.

Sang Yu was too lazy to argue with her, so she put down her teacup and said, "Okay, stop beating around the bush. What do you want to talk about?"

"Actually, there's nothing wrong. I just miss my sister..."

"Hurry up and tell me, I don't have time to play with you!" Sang Yu raised his voice a few degrees.

“…”

Lin Yueyue paused and continued, "The Qi family is going to hold a banquet in three days. I'm here to invite you."

"No."

"What?" Lin Yueyue looked up in disbelief. "It's a banquet hosted by the eldest daughter of the Qi family. Everyone in Qilai County is scrambling to go. I specially brought you there, and you're not going?"

Sang Yu sneered in her heart. What a good thing! Lin Yueyue would come to call her? What a joke.

"A branch of the Qi family, just a scammer in this small county. If it were in Tiandu, it would be just a poor relative who uses the name of a noble family to cheat people."

"What are you talking about? Everyone in this county knows how powerful the Qi family is. Even the county magistrate has to look up to them. And you..." You, a newly emerged merchant, dare to speak so shamelessly against the Qi family.

Lin Yueyue was furious and stood up directly. Sang Yu also stood up and shouted, "I have nothing to say to you. Anyway, I won't go!"

With that he left.

Since becoming Qi Xingyu's concubine, Lin Yueyue has been respectful wherever she goes. Now, after being spurned by Sang Yu several times in a row, she is furious and thinks to herself, "You didn't go because of yourself. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

After seeing off the annoying Lin Yueyue, I unexpectedly met another one.

Xia Mingxuan.

Ever since Sang Yu started to frequently stay in the county town, Xia Mingxuan often came to visit Sang Yu, sometimes taking her shopping, and sometimes bringing her some snacks she made. After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other.

Sang Yu also liked Xia Mingxuan's personality very much. When she saw Xia Mingxuan coming over, Sang Yu quickly put down the work in her hands and took her to the restaurant next door for dinner.

After asking them to sit down, Xia Mingxuan carefully looked at Sang Yu before saying, "I heard that you traveled thousands of miles to find your husband? Seeing that you came back unharmed, I guess you found your husband."

Sang Yu smiled and said, "Why are you teasing me too! I'm out for a while, and you all know everything."

"It's all because of Xia Mingxu's big mouth. If you tell me something, he'll exaggerate it dozens of times in an instant."

Sang Yu smiled and said something to Xia Mingxuan, and saw Xia Mingxuan suddenly straighten his expression.

"There's something I don't know whether I should say or not." Xia Mingxuan glanced at Sang Yu carefully, looking guilty.

"What's up?"

"My mother let slip that my brother was poisoned when she was chatting with my aunt, but she didn't say it was you. She only said that the poison was cured by a master."

Xia Mingxuan paused here, and seeing that Sang Yu looked normal, he continued, "But my aunt, Pan Jiawei's mother, has always been a big mouth, and she spread the news right away.

Naturally, the news reached Qi Huashu's ears, and then the Qi family came to my mother again, asking me to find you to detoxify you."

"Is Qi Huashu a member of the Qi family?"

"Yes, this Qi Huashu is from the side branch of the Qi family in Tiandu. Because he is a concubine's son and not favored, he can barely be considered a second-house wife. He settled in Qilai County and made his living by relying on the reputation of the Qi family.

Qi Huashu has a son and a daughter, Qi Xingyu and Qi Chunyu. I heard that Qi Xingyu recently took a concubine, the daughter of your uncle.

Sang Yu nodded, "That's true."

"Since Qi Huashu came to visit me personally and kept it a secret, the person who was poisoned must be someone important. That's why he specifically asked you to go take a look under the guise of the Spring Banquet."

Sang Yu was silent, and Xia Mingxuan slowly stretched out two fingers. The other party said that as long as the disease could be cured, he would give this amount.

"Two hundred taels?"

"No," Xia Mingxuan shook his head, "it's two thousand taels."

Without any hesitation, Sang Yu nodded, "Okay, I'll take this job."

"I knew you wouldn't give up this great opportunity to make money."

Sang Yu smiled and said, "That's natural. There's no reason not to make money when there's money to be made."

In this small county, how could a family like Qi have so much money?

=

In the military camp.

Yu Zhiheng stood up in shock when he heard Zhu Ying's words.

"What did you say?"

"Madam sent some medicinal herbs."

"Medicinal herbs?"

Zhu Ying said, "The man who came with my wife earlier had a brief conversation with the military doctor, and after returning, he sent someone to bring three carts of medicinal herbs."

"Three carts!" Yu Zhiheng pondered. With so many herbs, she might have to empty her pharmacy at home! Even buying them would cost a lot of money.

"Find a way to send some silver to Madam. The quantity of these herbs is too large."

Zhu Ying paused, "Your Highness, the Madam's people said that she sent the herbs here for the soldiers at the border, not for money. She also said that it is a blessing for the people to have such a good general like the Regent at the border, and as people, we will definitely defend the border together with the Regent."

Yu Zhiheng's eyebrows and eyes all smiled, "Did she really say that?"

He knew that this woman would always put national interests first.

"Your Highness, the person sent by the Madam to deliver the medicinal herbs wants to see you?"

Yu Zhiheng looked at Zhu Ying in confusion.

"They said they had a request. Your Highness, you are not wearing a mask now, so they probably won't recognize you."

"Okay, let them in."
