The Eldest Sister Who Struck It Rich

The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 401 A Clean Recruitment

Chapter 401: Confessing Everything

Zhuang Wencheng returned home in a daze.

"Wencheng is back, come over for dinner quickly." Seeing her youngest son running a long way to deliver something, Wang felt distressed and hurriedly pulled him over to have the reunion dinner together.

When I got closer, I suddenly realized that his face looked very ugly and his hands were a little cold.

"What's wrong?" Wang suddenly became nervous and reached out to touch Zhuang Wencheng's forehead. "It's not hot at all."

"What happened? I went out to deliver sugar cakes, and now I'm like this when I come back?"

"Could it be that your third aunt's wife said something unpleasant? No, that's not right. Your third aunt's wife treats you better than your two cousins. She shouldn't say anything about you."

"If it weren't for your third uncle..."

Wang thought for a while, then frowned, "Did Zhuang Qingning tell you something?"

For example, they are not suitable, Zhuang Wencheng is not worthy of her, etc.? Yes, that is definitely the case.

Normally, Zhuang Wencheng is the person who never takes things to heart and is always smiling. But now he looks like he has lost his soul. The thing that makes him so uncomfortable must be the thing he cares about the most.

This Zhuang Qingning is really a piece of shit!

"No, it has nothing to do with Sister Ning."

Seeing the growing anger on Wang's face, Zhuang Wencheng suddenly sobered up and hurriedly explained.

"I just suddenly remembered that I wrote the wrong medicinal ingredient in the prescription I wrote for someone today..." Zhuang Wencheng said with his head down.

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal. It's just that I wrote the wrong medicinal ingredient. It's not a big deal. You almost scared me to death." Wang patted her chest and gasped.

As long as Zhuang Wencheng doesn't get bullied, anything is fine.

"This is no small matter." Zhuang Futian listened to what Zhuang Wencheng said, his face full of worry, "If the wrong medicinal materials are written, it means the wrong prescription is given. If the boiled medicine cannot cure the disease and save lives, but hurts people, this will be a big deal."

"No, that's not the case." Zhuang Wencheng explained, "It's just that someone has bloating in the stomach, and the wrong herb was written. It doesn't matter, it just weakens the medicinal properties and the bloating goes away more slowly."

"Ordinary people can't tell, but if you are well versed in medical knowledge, you will know it at a glance. Although this matter is not serious, it is still damaging to your reputation. I will go to the pharmacy tomorrow and explain it to that person."

"That's all we can do. But you'd better be more careful next time. Fortunately, nothing serious happened this time. Next time if it's an emergency and you can't treat the disease, you'll be harming people. Since you're a doctor, you have to take this responsibility." Zhuang Futian said with a relieved heart.

"Yeah, I know, don't worry, Dad." Zhuang Wencheng nodded.

He had just made up an excuse and talked to Zhuang Futian for a while, which made him feel less depressed. After Wang's question, Zhuang Wencheng realized that he should not reveal too much of his thoughts at this time, so as not to cause unnecessary suspicion and bring more trouble to Zhuang Qingning. He forced a smile and said, "Let's eat quickly."

"Well, come on, come and eat." Zhuang Futian smiled and sat back on his bench.

Zhuang Wencheng also pulled Wang to sit down and eat.

Wang's eyes rolled around and her lips moved, but in the end she didn't say a word. She just picked up the chopsticks to pick up some food and eat.

The bright moon is in the sky, like a silver plate, casting a hazy light on the ground.

Although the moonlight is beautiful, and the full moon on the 15th is even more beautiful, farmers are mostly tired after a day's work, and no one cares about these things that are not enough to eat or wear, so they just pack up and go to bed early.

The whole earth has fallen into silence.

Qingzhu Garden was quite lively at this time.

Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou were playing Feihualing, which required people to recite poems about the moon. Anyone who couldn't answer would be fined a glass of wine.

Chu Jinzhou was too young to drink alcohol, so he was punished by drawing a little turtle on the back of his hand.

Although the fun of the game was lost because he couldn't paint on his face, Fan Wenxuan was overjoyed that Chu Jinnian had agreed to this for the first time. He didn't make any excessive demands for other things and just competed with Chu Jinzhou with great interest.

"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks."

"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes."

"The bright moon in Qin and the fortress in Han, the people who marched thousands of miles have not returned yet."

“…”

The two of them were chatting with each other, looking quite excited.

Chu Jinnian looked at the old naughty boy and the little child having fun, picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of wine.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The osmanthus wine made from the newly blooming osmanthus flowers is slightly sweet and is suitable for drinking at this time.

"Young Master." Jing Zhao came hurriedly.

"Speak." Chu Jinnian put down the cup in his hand.

"I have investigated the matter thoroughly according to the eldest master's instructions. This matter is indeed related to the Luo family."

Jing Zhao replied, "It was Luo who ordered his servant Manfu to come here and keep an eye on the Third Young Master, looking for an opportunity to attack him. He was also told to make sure that nothing was leaked and that the First Young Master must not notice anything."

"Manfu has lived outside Qingzhu Garden for a long time, but he has never found any opportunity. He accidentally heard that the Third Young Master was going to climb Cuiwei Mountain with Miss Zhuang and others, so he thought of doing it on the way. So he spread rumors about auspicious signs a few days in advance, planted a flower in the cave, and even buried explosives in the mountain with his friends, in order to pretend that someone was stealing rocks and create an accident."

"Manfu has even found a scapegoat. When the Third Young Master meets with an accident, he will have someone turn himself in at the county government office and confess his crime of stealing rocks. This way, he can completely get away with it."

"Unfortunately, the amount of gunpowder was miscalculated, and with Miss Zhuang's help, the Third Young Master was not seriously injured. Manfu was quite shocked when he heard about this, and didn't know how to end it. Later, he saw the First Young Master coming, and Mr. Fan and Banqing thought of using gunpowder to blow up the cave and save people. So they decided to go all out and asked the person who made the gunpowder to increase the amount in order to blow up the First Young Master and Miss Zhuang together."

"Fortunately, the eldest son was wise and noticed something was wrong, so he exposed his deeds. Now Manfu has been captured by my subordinates and has confessed everything."

"Master, do you want to send Manfu to the capital?"

It will also let people know about the Luo family’s insidious methods!

"Even if we send him to the capital, it would be inappropriate. Manfu is a family child, and his parents' lives are in the hands of the Luo family. Even if he confesses now, he may not have the courage to confront the Luo family when he really arrives in the capital."

Chu Jinnian disagreed and said slowly, "Besides, even if this matter gets out of hand and comes before His Majesty, His Majesty will take into account his friendship with Prince Qi and probably just reprimand him and give him a small punishment, but he won't do anything to Luo."
