Chapter 471 Thank You Gift

"After something like this happened, everyone must be furious. Your reaction is very normal. It is enviable that you protect Manager Cheng like this." Zhuang Qingning smiled.

Seeing that Zhuang Qingning did not dislike his rude behavior just now, but praised him instead, Fang Hou immediately scratched his ear in embarrassment, "I am also very angry. How can there be such a black-hearted and ungrateful person in the world?"

His young master is so good, so respectful and filial to the master and the mistress, and he does things so sincerely and attentively. Even to them, the servants, he is extremely kind. Apart from the fact that his daily wages are definitely no less than those of other families, the red envelopes he gives during the Chinese New Year are twice as much as those of other families.

Let’s not talk about others, just take him as an example. If it weren’t for the young master, he would have been beaten to death by those beggars who competed with him for food.

Such a kind Third Young Master, Zhu Ankang is so black-hearted! Zhuang Qingning knew how much Fang Hou protected Cheng Ruize, and felt it was normal at this time. He smiled slightly, but then frowned, "Since this matter is that Zhu Ankang wanted to murder Manager Cheng out of hatred, what is going on with Huichuntang, and why was Doctor Zhuang implicated innocently?"

"Oh, this was Zhu Ankang's idea."

Fang Hou went on to explain, "When Zhu Ankang saw that the young master was ill, he only heard that the illness was very serious, but he didn't know the extent of the poisoning. He was also worried that if a skilled doctor was found to find out that the young master was not ill but poisoned, he would be able to quickly find out that he was the one who murdered the young master, so he planned to put the young master to death."

"Zhu Ankang knows that this poison looks like an ordinary doctor's illness, and he will definitely give acupuncture according to the symptoms. As long as the acupuncture is given, the qi and blood will surge up, and the poison will be able to completely penetrate the internal organs. By then, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he will be powerless to save the patient."

"He thought of this idea, so he went to Huichun Hall to look for his cousin, Doctor Zhao, and planned to ask Doctor Zhao to help him. He even gave him five hundred taels of silver."

"As a doctor for many years, he always encounters some diseases that cannot be cured. Doctor Zhao thought it was very common, so he accepted the money out of greed. However, after receiving the money, Doctor Zhao became more and more scared and felt that he was killing people."

"Especially when he thought that if he was discovered, Zhu Ankang would most likely say that he knew nothing about the matter and that it was Doctor Zhao who murdered him or that the quack doctor misdiagnosed him. Doctor Zhao became even more impatient and asked his trusted medicine boy to find a random doctor who was not very experienced to examine him."

"Any ordinary doctor would think it is an ordinary disease. Even if the doctor who went to see the patient was really caught by the Cheng family, the doctor would be completely unaware of the situation and would not be able to find out anything."

"The medicine boy followed what Doctor Zhao said. He happened to see Doctor Zhuang coming to the clinic, so he asked Doctor Zhuang to see the doctor. Doctor Zhuang was kind-hearted and didn't think too much. He followed me to see the young master..."

"What happened next was what the shopkeeper saw when he was at the door that day."

"I see." Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly.

From the looks of it, it wasn't a deliberate targeting of Zhuang Wencheng. It was just a random scapegoat search at the time. Zhuang Wencheng just happened to be unlucky and was targeted.

"That's right. Doctor Zhao and the medicine boy have confessed everything. Doctor Zhuang has done nothing wrong. The case has been solved. Doctor Zhuang can go home now."

Fang Hou said, "I also know the whole story of the case, so I hurried to tell Shopkeeper Zhuang about the situation. I also followed the young master's instructions and sent some things to Shopkeeper Zhuang to thank him."

This is all thanks to Zhuang Qingning.

Not only did he save his young master's life, but he also did not alert the enemy. Instead, he went with the flow and investigated the murderer in secret. It was also Zhuang Qingning's idea that led to the successful discovery of the culprit, Zhu Ankang.

It is said that one should not receive rewards without merit. Even though this time she saved people to complete the mission, it is reasonable for her to deserve the thank you.

Zhuang Qingning did not make any pretentious excuses and just stood up to thank him, "Manager Cheng, you are too polite."

"Please don't say that, Manager Zhuang." Fang Hou said with a smile, "My young master wanted to thank Manager Zhuang in person, but because the poison in his body has not been completely eliminated, he is still weak and it is difficult for him to walk around, so he sent me here specially."

"Young Master heard that Shopkeeper Zhuang went to the spice shop a few days ago to buy some spices. He thought that Shopkeeper Zhuang might like them, so he asked me to bring some over. As for these herbs, he remembered that Shopkeeper Zhuang was quite knowledgeable in medicine and might like to develop some pills or prescriptions. So he asked me to bring some over to see if Shopkeeper Zhuang would need them on a daily basis."

"These are some kinds of tea from the tea shop in the county. I didn't know what kind of tea Mr. Zhuang likes, so I sent some of them over."

"And these are some fashionable fabrics from the silk shops in the capital. Some are new styles from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with Suzhou embroidery and woven satin. I hope Miss Zhuang will take a look at them..."

It has to be said that Fang Hou is very eloquent when he is arguing with people, and he is even more eloquent when he is reporting the details of the bill.

In a trance, Zhuang Qingning actually felt like he was listening to a crosstalk announcing the names of dishes.

However, there are a lot of these things, of all kinds.

Zhuang Qingning looked at Fang Hou who was constantly moving things from the carriage to the ground, which had already piled up all over the ground. He held his forehead with his hand in frustration.

I thought I was just accepting someone's thanks, but I didn't expect the thank you gift to be so generous.

Especially the herbs, there was ginseng that was over a hundred years old, some herbs whose names I couldn't tell, but I knew they were not cheap just by looking at the box, and all kinds of fabrics that looked soft and had complicated patterns...

Zhuang Qingning suddenly felt unworthy.

"Shopkeeper Cheng is so polite..." Zhuang Qingning glanced at the things on the ground, picked up a few that looked the most gorgeous, and stuffed them into Fang Hou's hands. "I understand Shopkeeper Cheng's intentions, but these are too valuable. Please go back and talk to Shopkeeper Cheng. I really can't accept them."

"Besides, I have already told Shopkeeper Cheng that I will ask for your help in the future. If this is the case now, how can I ask for your help again in the future?"

"This..." Fang Hou hesitated for a moment.

As Zhuang Qingning said, if you express gratitude too much, it will make the other person feel like they have to repay the favor all at once, which is inappropriate.

Thinking that they would have to get along for a long time in the future, Fang Hou had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Then let's do as Shopkeeper Zhuang said. However, Shopkeeper Zhuang must keep one of these things, otherwise I will not be able to report back when I return."
