Chapter 73 Why!
Ruan Mian's prescription is said to be the top prescription.
Ruan Jiao immediately set her sights on the prescription.
He immediately changed his mind, and while everyone was moving bricks, he secretly returned to the house under the pretext of being sick, tiptoed to Ruan Mian and the others' cart, and quickly turned it over!
It would be fine if it wasn't turned over, but once it was turned over, she became extremely jealous.
The amount of food, medicinal herbs, and various supplies here is beyond imagination. No wonder they have been able to enjoy themselves for so long along the way!
On the other hand, I, also surnamed Ruan, have to face these hardships. Why? Why?!
She stuffed dry food into her pockets while looking for the prescription.
She will definitely cook it for Ruan Qingsong today, so the medicinal ingredients must be prepared.
However, before long, a hand rested on her shoulder!
Ruan Jiao was shocked. Before she could even make a sound, her hair was grabbed. With a sharp pain, her whole body was dragged off the cart.
Then a fist hit her face, causing her to struggle violently in pain.
"Dare to steal from us?"
The person who came was Mei Xi. Although her movements were not well-organized, she was very strong.
These things are Mian Mian's most precious supplies, how could an outsider have the guts to covet them?!
She attacked without hesitation and beat Ruan Jiao until she screamed in pain.
The noise they made caught the attention of the stationmaster, who ran over with a fierce look on his face and stopped them with a few lashes of the whip: "Don't you want to live?! You're making noise and making a scene here, or I'll chop you down!"
Ruan Jiao, with messy hair, looked at the stationmaster with a face full of grievance and started crying.
"Sir, sir, please save me... I just saw they had life-saving medicine, and I didn't want to die, so I... came over to take a look, but she wanted to beat me to death, sir..."
She covered her face and cried bitterly, repeatedly emphasizing, "They are exiled prisoners like me, so why do they have so much good food and clothes? I just want their life-saving medicine."
When the stationmaster heard about the life-saving medicine, his expression immediately changed.
He had heard about Ruan Qingsong's life-saving operation overnight, and happened to be very interested in the life-saving medicine.
Now that Ruan Jiao mentioned it, he felt that the medicine was extremely valuable.
He immediately looked at Xixi and ordered, "Where's the medicine?!"
Mei Xi's face changed slightly. She guessed that the official wanted to take it for himself. Of course, she couldn't say anything and just said.
"Sir, this woman tried to steal someone else's property. I caught her red-handed. How can I tolerate her?!"
"I'm asking you about your medicine!!" The stationmaster didn't want to hear anything else and just asked her to hand over the medicine.
Seeing that Meixi didn't answer, he became angry and whipped her hard with the whip.
"explain!"
Mei Xi gritted her teeth and refused to speak. She also didn't want to bring trouble to Ruan Mian, so she didn't resist and let the stationmaster whip her. She didn't say a word even when her clothes were torn and her skin was cracked.
It wasn't until Ruan Mian came back to get something that he saw this scene.
She immediately stepped forward and grabbed the stationmaster's whip with one hand. Facing his vicious face, she just lowered her eyes and then showed a cold smile.
"Sir, can't we talk things over peacefully? She's a weak woman, how could she possibly withstand a few lashes from you?"
The stationmaster grunted and held out his hand: "Give her the medicine, and I won't beat her for no reason!"
"Since she won't tell me, I'll beat her until you give me the medicine."
As he raised the whip again, Ruan Mian chuckled and said, "It's just a prescription. Sir, come with me and I'll give you a few more."
"girl!"
Mei Xi endured the pain and called out to her, but Ruan Mian gave her a look and calmly brought the stationmaster to the cart.
She rummaged through the box, found some herbs and handed them to the stationmaster.
"Sir, if these are not enough, I will buy some more for you tomorrow."
The stationmaster squinted his eyes and looked at her with ill intentions.
"You're just an exiled prisoner, how could you possibly have so much money? And you're carrying so many goodies with you. I've never seen anyone like you before."
Ruan Mian smiled and said, "Of course...someone must have arranged this behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could the officer who escorted us all the way here be so indulgent towards me?"
After that, he deliberately promised the stationmaster: "If you don't mind, I will give you even greater benefits after we leave the post station."
The webmaster had heard that there was someone behind her, but all of their lives would be decided here tonight, what a pity for the money jar.
His eyes rolled around, and he suddenly felt reluctant to see Ruan Mian, the money jar, die, so he spoke.
"In that case, I'll give you a chance to live. Don't go to the woodshed with your family tonight. Come directly to the post station stable to find me after dark, and you can save your life."
After saying that, he took the herbs and turned to leave.
Ruan Mian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Not going to the woodshed? Going to the stable? Or a chance to survive?
Could it be... that the people behind the princess were planning to take action? Or was it the selfish motives of the stationmaster?
She restrained her expression. At this moment, Mei Xi hurried over and asked with concern, "Miss, what did he say just now?"
Ruan Mian gave a soothing smile: "He said... tonight is the day he will die."
"ah?"
Before Mei Xi could understand what was happening, Ruan Mian had already walked up to Ruan Jiao.
Ruan Jiao felt extremely uncomfortable. Not only did the wound from the dog bite hurt, but more importantly, she also caught a cold. She felt dizzy and felt as if she could faint at any time.
Seeing that stealing the medicine failed, she didn't want to die so easily for the sake of her life.
After much hesitation, she finally put aside her pride and pleaded with Ruan Mian in a trembling and humble voice. "Sister! I was wrong. I was really wrong."
She shed tears and kowtowed repeatedly: "I shouldn't have done those stupid things, and I don't want to die. Sister, after all, I am still a member of the Ruan family, and my last name is Ruan."
"Even though my mother was just a concubine and I wasn't loved by my family since I was born, I... I just want to live, that's all. For the sake of our shared surname, can you please save me? Don't let me die of illness. I know you're a very good doctor!"
"I promise you, as long as you can save me, I will never be the same as before. I will definitely behave myself and will definitely..."
Before she could finish, Ruan Mian's cold voice interrupted her.
"There's no such thing as regret medicine in this world. You came to the wrong person by asking me to save you."
"Besides, isn't the Young Master of the Qi Mansion a close friend of yours? Now that you've reached this point, why don't you ask him for help? Instead, you come to me, your nemesis, for help."
Hearing this, Ruan Jiao cried even louder, choking with sobs as she said, "Sister, I really know I was wrong! I didn't mean to get close to Master Qi, but he insisted on getting close to me and making you unhappy."
