Chapter 110: Doubts
After thinking it over, Zhong Xingsan agreed to Su Chenyu's request: "Princess, you, your husband, and the old general are all kind-hearted people. You never forget us."
"You have tried your best for Dayu, so I will naturally solve your worries." Su Chenyu knew that the number of soldiers that a pharmacy could help was too limited. In the future, she would definitely be able to think of a way to protect all the soldiers.
After hearing what Su Chenyu said, all the soldiers knelt down at the same time. They would never forget the kindness Princess Fengyi had shown them today.
There are emperors, princes and ministers in the court, but no one would consider these soldiers who have retired from the battlefield. On the contrary, Princess Fengyi considers them wholeheartedly. How can he not be moved?
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing had sorted out the medicine store's account books and handed them over to Zhong Xingsan one by one.
Apart from the daily expenses of the medicine shop and the money distributed, the rest of the income was divided into two parts and sent to the border and the northwest as military pay respectively.
Emperor Jing of Wei cut military pay several times, and life was not easy for the soldiers on the front lines, so any help would be appreciated.
Zhong Xingsan originally thought that he would never be able to do anything for the front line again after leaving the battlefield. He did not expect that he could still earn military pay for the front line. He immediately became motivated and swept away his previous depressed mood.
Many houses had been built in the medicine store before, which could be used for these soldiers to live in.
After everything in the medicine shop was arranged, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing prepared to go to Beijing. When they left, they left a few people to help them, and they would come back after the medicine shop was back on track.
When Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing arrived in Beijing, the whole city was in turmoil.
Baili Qi's affair could not be concealed after all. When so many people saw it, rumors spread during the hunt. A few days later, the fire spread to the capital.
To make matters worse, the Yao family was also caught in the storm at this time.
The tenant farmers in the villages surrounding the medicine store spread all the stories about what happened when the Yao family was in charge of the medicine store. For a while, the news of the Yao family seizing the Baili family's property became a hot topic.
You have to know that the Baili family is Yao's husband's family, and a woman should obey her husband. The Baili family trusted Yao, so they handed the medicine store to her to manage. Unexpectedly, she was treacherous and actually used the Baili family's medicine store to support Yao's people.
As a result, the reputation of the Yao family's daughters was affected. Those who were already married were guarded against in various ways by their husbands' families; for those who were not married, not to mention having someone come to propose marriage to them, even matchmakers did not dare to be matchmakers for the Yao family's daughters.
Baili Qi became the Crown Prince's Consort because she lost her virginity to the Crown Prince, and everyone's attitude towards her took a sharp turn for the worse. Also, because she was the daughter of the Yao family, everyone was speculating that after becoming the Crown Prince's Consort, they didn't know how she would use the Crown Prince to help the Yao family!
The news about the second wife's illegitimate son Baili Qiuhong that had been spread in the Baili Mansion before was also dug up by everyone.
Old Madam Baili forced Princess Fengyi Su Chenyu to recommend the second wife's legitimate son Baili Yu to enter the Imperial College. Su Chenyu did not refuse due to filial piety, but felt that Baili Yu was not capable of taking on important tasks, so she recommended the second wife's illegitimate son Baili Qiuhong.
Unexpectedly, Yao's son secretly attacked Baili Qiuhong in order to stop him from entering the Imperial College. Fortunately, Baili Qiuhong escaped the disaster. During the hunting trip, Baili Qiuhong was injured by an arrow while trying to protect the emperor.
As members of the second branch of the Baili family, the legitimate children Baili Yu and Baili Qi lost face, while the illegitimate child Baili Qiuhong gained a lot of face.
As a result, the Baili Second Branch and the Yao family became the subject of conversation among the people of the capital.
When Su Chenyu arrived at Beiyuan and just sat down, Ginkgo came to report the news of the past two days in the mansion.
Aunt He came to report that the old lady had instructed Nanny Fang to kill her and was about to attack her family. The second wife took action in advance and saved the lives of Aunt He's husband and son.
Nanny Fang didn't dare tell the old lady about this and was now anxiously looking for someone everywhere.
"How could our old lady be so cruel?" Su Chenyu picked up the teacup, skimmed off the foam, and was about to take a sip, but suddenly lost interest and put down the cup, "Madame Fang, is she so greedy for murder?"
