Chapter 96
"And Ah-Ching knew I was reading medical books, and he often studied with me. Ah-Ching has truly grown up."
Ruan Mian didn't expect them to be so ambitious. "Father, if you have this idea, why didn't you tell me earlier? I have a lot of medical books on hand."
Upon hearing this, Master Ruan was shocked: "Where did you get those medical books from..."
"I always carry them with me. Before I was exiled, I took some medical books from my father's herbal medicine shop. I also read those books when I was a widow in the Qi Mansion."
"Father, please wait. I will get it for you now."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the place where supplies were stored. While no one was around, he took out a few medical books from the space.
If it is really effective, I can open a clinic and make a living in the future.
There are many fugitives in Wuheng, and many of them have been registered as civilians.
If the court continues to exile people at this rate, Wuheng will soon be populated by more people.
It was only a matter of time before it developed into a town. Although it was too early to think about this, it did not hinder their studies.
At night, she suddenly remembered the account book.
I almost forgot.
So he found Yun Xiu and handed him the account book he had searched from the general's mansion.
"Ah Xiu, you have to make another trip to the post station."
She thought of handing these account books to Xie Huaian, and then passing them to General Huo through him. Following the clue of Sun Jian and the information in the account books, she should be able to find out more about their illegal peat mining.
This matter implicates the vast majority of officials in the internment camp. Once it is exposed, all the officials here will be replaced.
Given the large peat layer here, the camp may also be moved elsewhere.
By then, there will be more means to escape from this difficult environment, and we will be able to use space materials more conveniently to build an ideal cabin.
But she was not sure how long it would take Huo Zong to thoroughly investigate the matter. If it involved the Governor, it would probably not be completed in a short time.
But two days later, news suddenly came from the refugee camp.
That day they went to work as usual, but were told that the Nguyen family had changed their jobs.
In the next few days, you don't have to work in the lumber camp, but will do odd jobs at the post station.
Some time ago they all heard that the post station had a new stationmaster and there were a lot of hard jobs to be done.
Everyone has been worried these days, fearing that they would be assigned to do hard labor at the post station.
There were quite a few new errand boys there, the work was hard and tiring, and no one could stand the frequent physical violence.
Now, upon hearing that the Ruan family had been assigned there, some people in the Qi and Bo mansions breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt fortunate.
When Liu heard the news, she couldn't help but smile. "God has truly opened his eyes! That family will finally have a hard time. Everyone knows how grueling the post station work is!"
"Humph, I thought Ruan Mian really hooked up with the general, but now it seems that's all he has."
She saw the Ruan family packing up their things and coming out of the cellar one after another. They sat on wooden blocks and deliberately raised their voices, pretending to be concerned.
"Mrs. Ruan, please walk slower. If you go too early, you'll be more tired."
Nanny Fang really couldn't stand her expression and immediately retorted, "What does it have to do with you whether our lady walks fast or slow?"
"You old traitor! You really think you belong to the Ruan family. Don't forget that your indenture is still in my Qi Mansion!" Liu yelled immediately.
Nanny Fang sneered, "Selling your body indenture? The Qi Mansion is gone, so what are you still dreaming about? You are just a vulgar woman like me now."
"But at least I'm still treated well by the Ruan family. I live a better life than you! Unlike you, a lady who has fallen into the trap of a shrew."
Nanny Fang's words hit Liu's heart hard, making her so angry that she started yelling on the spot.
"Well, you old bastard, you've grown wings now! I want to see you doing hard labor at the post station. How can you even have a chance to keep your skin intact?"
"Now that my son is with the daughter of a guard at the gate, we won't have to do hard labor tomorrow and can even move back to the small town. You're all envious!"
Nanny Fang snorted disdainfully, "Your son shamelessly climbed into the bed of Golden Phoenix, but even so, he's just a lowly rouge slave. And you're showing off?"
"Do you really think you're the mother-in-law of a golden phoenix? What's with all the airs? If I were you, I'd be so embarrassed."
"You, you, you...you are so sharp-tongued, I'm going to deal with you now!" Liu couldn't scold Nanny Fang, so she stood up suddenly, rolled up her sleeves and was about to fight, but she didn't expect to hear a familiar scolding voice behind her.
"Liu family!! Where's Qi Nanfeng?!"
When he turned around, he saw A Ruolan walking towards him with a military whip in her hand and an angry look on her face.
Liu immediately put on a flattering smile and said respectfully.
"Lan'er, wasn't Nanfeng still in the cell just now? By the way, are you planning to move my mother and me to live in the cave today?"
Before she could finish her words, A Ruolan kicked her, and Liu screamed and fell heavily!
"You, a first-rate criminal, actually called me by my nickname? That's so unruly! Why don't you go find your son for me? He hasn't been seen all day. Did he run away?"
"Run...run away? Impossible, Lan... No, Miss, I'll go find him for you right away."
When Liu saw the mocking smiles on the faces around her, she gritted her teeth and wished she could tear them all to pieces.
But I think she also felt extremely wronged.
Her son finally managed to get close to a daughter in power, and hoped to follow her out of her misery and become a mother-in-law with someone to serve her.
Now, this woman who is not even considered a daughter-in-law is bullying Tiangang!
After turning the cell upside down, they found Qi Nanfeng hiding under a pile of firewood.
This made Liu so angry that she started yelling.
"A Ruolan is looking for you everywhere! Why don't you go out? Do you know that if she can't find you, she will take it out on me! How come you can't even coax a woman?!"
Qi Nanfeng glared at her mother fiercely and pushed her away: "If mother thinks she is easy to coax, why don't you go and coax her?"
The woman didn't treat her as a human being at all. For several nights, he was like an old ox that was tired to death from plowing the fields, and he didn't even give her a sip of water.
However, what he got in return was not wealth and glory, and he was even harder to please than that princess! !
Liu suddenly felt her future was bleak, and she sat down with a thud. "If you keep going like this, we won't be able to escape forced labor, let alone move out of the internment camp! Why is my life so miserable..."
But then I thought, "The Ruan family was sent to the post station to do hard labor. They don't have a good way out. When I think of this, I feel a little relieved!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Nanfeng was so angry that he kicked over the pile of firewood.
"What did you say? They were sent to the post station? Isn't that where they live a good life?!"
Hearing this, Liu was puzzled: "Son, what do you mean?"
