Yuan Doudou knew that Wang Zhoushi had some connections in the town, so she told her everything.

Wang Zhou frowned after hearing this. "How could such a thing happen in broad daylight?"

The group hurried to the yamen, but the guards at the gate stopped them and refused to let them in.

"Young man, could you please tell me what's going on with those two children?" Wang Zhou asked politely.

The guard recognized the newcomer as someone who looked like Doctor Wang's mother from Tianming Medical Clinic, and his attitude immediately changed completely.

"Madam Wang, the two children you asked about are not criminals. On the contrary, they are the county magistrate's nephew and niece. They ran away after arguing with their family. The county magistrate has always doted on these two children and was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep. He sent out all the constables from the yamen to look for them, and it took them two days to find them."

After the young man finished speaking in one breath, the group suddenly understood.

Yuan Doudou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the children were alright.

"Dou Dou, you see, everything's alright now. Come with me, I'll take you to see my son. Your mother-in-law's medicine should be finished by now, right?" Wang Zhou's selfishness was written all over her face.

Yuan Doudou nodded, turned around and walked back, with Wang Qiqiang following behind.

"Stop!" someone shouted from behind.

Yuan Doudou was startled and quickly turned around, only to be met with the head constable's bearded face.

"Miss, please wait a moment. The master invites you in for tea." The constable said calmly, trying his best not to sound fierce.

Wang Zhoushi held Yuan Doudou's hand and said respectfully to the constable, "Brother Constable, our Doudou is a good person, you can't just arrest her like that."

Wang Qiqiang stood guard on Yuan Doudou's right, keeping a close eye on the head constable.

"You've misunderstood. It was the county magistrate who invited Miss Doudou for tea." Wasn't he clear enough?

Yuan Doudou understood, let go of Wang Zhoushi's hand, and comforted her, "Auntie, you go to the clinic first, I'll be there in a bit."

Before going in, she told Wang Qiqiang to go back first, and that she would go home by herself later.

Yuan Doudou followed the constable into the yamen gate, past the front hall, and into the back courtyard, where there was a place to rest.

The county magistrate, dressed in a brown casual robe, stood in front of his desk, writing calligraphy.

"Sir, the person has been brought." After saying this, the head constable withdrew at the magistrate's signal.

Yuan Doudou stood in the center of the house, her back straight, her hands clasped in front of her, her attitude humble.

After a while, the county magistrate looked up, his deep eyes scrutinizing Yuan Doudou from head to toe. She was graceful, dignified, and her eyes sparkled with a lively charm.

In the remote northwest, it is rare to see such an elegant and beautiful woman, surrounded by the unique charm of Jiangnan.

Zhao Anling was stunned. For some reason, the person looked so familiar. Ten years ago, he saw that face in Kyoto, and it overlapped with the beautiful face in front of him.

It looks so much like it.

For her sake, he angered the emperor and was demoted to a county magistrate a thousand miles away.

"Did you buy these wontons for Wang'er?" Zhao Anling put down his brush and asked in a deep voice.

Yuan Doudou guessed that Wang'er was the boy, so she nodded.

"Don't be afraid. I called you here to thank you." Zhao Anling got up, went to the table, poured a cup of tea, and gestured for Yuan Doudou to drink it.

Yuan Doudou sat down casually, and feeling thirsty, she picked up the glass and drank it down; it was quite delicious.

"Dou Dou is a very forthright girl." Zhao Anling immediately filled her teacup. "I heard that Dou Dou is quite familiar with Doctor Wang from Tianming Medical Clinic?"

What exactly does the county magistrate want to do?

Yuan Doudou shook her head, puzzled.

"Actually, I have a favor to ask. My wife has developed a hidden illness, and I remember that Doctor Wang makes house calls. Every time I send someone to him, they are turned away, because he has a rule that he does not look after his family. I think if you are familiar with him, please ask him to do me a favor and let him come to treat my wife."

After going around in circles, it turns out it was about this. Wang Zhoushi was just at the door; why not just have her come?

"Sir, I've only met Doctor Wang once. It'll be of no use having me speak to him." Yuan Doudou finished her tea and got up to leave.

"Wait, I have leads on An Rong." Zhao Anling's gaze was calm, his tone carrying a hint of a deal.

An Rong? Yuan Doudou was a little dazed when she first heard this name. Wasn't the original owner's husband dead on the battlefield?

"What does Your Excellency mean?" Yuan Doudou raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, unable to believe it.

Zhao Anling nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Yes, he is not dead."

"Impossible, the housekeeper sent out an obituary." Yuan Doudou refused to believe it. She had become a mother as soon as she transmigrated, which she could barely tolerate. Now, she suddenly had to have a husband as well, and she didn't know what to do.

Just because the original owner liked An Rong doesn't mean she can like him too. Wouldn't it be incredibly frustrating to be married to someone you don't like?

Zhao Anling used An Rong's clues as leverage to ask her to invite Doctor Wang.

Yuan Doudou wondered to herself where he got his confidence from; she didn't want any contact between the two of them.

On second thought, if Angie knew his father was still alive, he'd probably be ecstatic.

"Okay, I promise you." Yuan Doudou agreed without hesitation.

Leaving the yamen, finding no one at the entrance, Yuan Doudou quickened her pace and headed towards Tianming Medical Clinic.

"DouDou, you're finally out! Are you alright?" Wang Qiqiang suddenly jumped out of the alley, holding a brown paper bag in his hand.
