"As you can see, Renyifang has been operating at a loss for several months, so the shop is really out of money!"

As he spoke, fearing that Jiang Mingwei might question him, Manager Song quickly raised his hand to swear.

"I absolutely did not steal a single penny from the shop, please investigate, miss! It's just that... business is so bad these days, even if I wanted to, I couldn't!"

Manager Song muttered to himself, his eyes filled with guilt, but he didn't lie.

Jiang Mingwei sighed helplessly; it seemed she couldn't afford to pay for it.

Oh, it hurts so much! That's all hard-earned money!

"Understood. I will send someone to deliver the silver to you. I don't know when they will come to inspect, but before they arrive, make sure to clean up the moldy herbs. Take care of things properly!"

"I can overlook your dereliction of duty today, but if you do it again in the future, don't blame me for replacing you without any consideration!"

"Manager Song has been the manager of Renyifang since my parents were still alive. Don't let your age make you reckless and think you can bypass me, your master!"

Jiang Mingwei gave him a cold glance, her tone low and menacing. Manager Song immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.

He wasn't pretending he was afraid; he genuinely was afraid.

Previously, I had only heard that my young master was arrogant and domineering, and a difficult person to get along with.

Now that he's met her, he realizes she's not just difficult to get along with; she's just like her father, the prime minister—shrewd and terrifying. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to harbor any wicked thoughts.

"Oh, right, bring me paper and pen. I need you to buy me a few specific medicinal herbs. The dosage doesn't need to be too high, but you absolutely must have them."

Jiang Mingwei gave the order in a deep voice, and Manager Song quickly fetched paper and pen, watching Jiang Mingwei write it down stroke by stroke.

He picked it up and glanced at it; several of the medicinal herbs looked familiar.

He nodded, indicating that he would keep it in mind.

But soon, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Miss, these few medicinal herbs aren't hard to find, but the remaining ones..."

Shopkeeper Song circled them one by one with a brush, and when he looked at Jiang Mingwei, his face was full of difficulty and confusion.

"I've never heard of or seen these herbs before. Do you think these herbs exist? Miss, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"How is that possible? These are all very common medicinal herbs. How could you not have heard of them or seen them before?"

Jiang Mingwei looked on incredulously.

Upon hearing this, Hua Cui also craned her neck to look at the paper. After just one glance, she immediately echoed the shopkeeper's words.

"Miss, these are the medicinal herbs we don't have. I've never heard of them before. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

The two gave the same answer, which made Jiang Mingwei slightly taken aback.

Seeing their blank and puzzled expressions, something suddenly occurred to me...

She was absolutely certain that she had not made any mistakes in writing down these medicinal herbs. So, was it possible that the medicinal herbs she mentioned simply did not exist in this era?

Or perhaps they do exist, but they don't recognize them, so they haven't used them in medicine!

The more Jiang Mingwei thought about it, the more likely it seemed...

He coughed lightly and pushed the prescription back to the shopkeeper.

"In that case, let's search according to this list. We can find as much as we can, and it doesn't matter if we don't find the rest. I'll take care of it myself."

"Okay, I've got it." The shopkeeper respectfully put away the prescription.

Having learned about Renyifang's situation and handed the prescription to the shopkeeper, Jiang Mingwei saw no need to stay any longer.

Fortunately, it was getting late, and by the time they returned to the Wei residence, they should have already finished moving.

Jiang Mingwei left with Hua Cui.

She insisted on going to Renyifang today, actually because of Li Yihuan.

Even if Jiang Mingjin didn't want to believe it, she was indeed poisoned, but the poisoning was still mild and wouldn't endanger her or the fetus in her womb for the time being.

But given time, things might change!

Just in case, Jiang Mingwei wanted to make the antidote first, so that she could better ensure the safety of herself and her child.

She would never say these things to Jiang Mingjin again, but no one could stop her determination to save her sister-in-law.

If Jiang Mingwei can make the antidote in advance, there will be a way to cure Wen Yihuan when she is found to be poisoned.

Even if Jiang Mingjin doesn't believe it, she'll have to believe it by then.

She was waiting for this day to come, but she would never forgive Jiang Mingjin for how he treated her!

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Mingwei decided to put these annoying things aside for the time being.

The thought of returning to the Wei residence later, with everyone else gone and her left alone to enjoy the grand courtyard, made her chuckle to herself.

But soon, her smile faded.

Looking at the empty courtyard, where not even a chicken feather remained, Jiang Mingwei was incredulous and let out a long howl.

"My yard! Who turned my yard upside down like this? Where are my things? Where did all my things go?!"

After searching several times, not only were the items gone, but even the maids and servants in the courtyard had disappeared.

Waaaaah, when did her house get raided?

Didn't she say that no one is allowed to touch her things?

"Sister-in-law, you're finally back. Have you taken care of the business?"

A cold voice sounded from behind her, and Jiang Mingwei turned around angrily.

At the courtyard gate, Wei Jing, dressed in a gold-embroidered long robe that accentuated his tall and slender figure, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, watching her with concern.

Jiang Mingwei was lost in thought for a moment, but soon she heard the devastatingly handsome man speak in a low voice. However, what he said made her want to rush up to him and beat him up!

"Knowing that you are busy today and don't have time to move, I helped you move after I finished moving my courtyard. All your belongings have been transported to the General's Mansion. I'm waiting for you here. Please come with me to the new residence to move in!"

Jiang Mingwei's lips twitched; what should she do if her fist hardened?

Is there any way for her to beat Wei up without causing any trouble herself?

I need help urgently!

At this moment, could a system please appear and grant her a time-stopping ability? She really wants to punch someone!

Seeing Jiang Mingwei hanging her head, looking like she was about to cry, Wei Jing suddenly realized what was going on.

It must be because she was too thoughtful. Jiang Mingwei was touched, but she didn't know how to repay her.

So he quickly raised his hand to her in greeting, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. This is what I, as the second brother, should do. Sister-in-law, please come back with me."

"No need to be so polite?"

Jiang Mingwei chuckled. She wanted to go up and beat Wei Jing up without holding back, but she was a coward and didn't dare to do it!

All her belongings were taken away by someone, leaving Jiang Mingwei with no choice but to go to the General's Mansion with Wei Jing.

The General's Mansion has a majestic and imposing gate, with its vermilion doors exuding power and the two stone lions at the entrance being lifelike, majestic and spectacular!

The three characters "General's Mansion" are written in a powerful and vigorous style on the gilded plaque, which makes people feel excited just by looking at it.

Upon entering the courtyard, one can see pavilions, terraces, and towers—everything one could desire.

Jiang Mingwei looked around, then looked up and asked, "Where do I live?"
