Sure enough, at this moment, in the county government office, the county magistrate was kneeling on the ground, his face slapped several times. His originally fair and plump face was now red and swollen like a steamed bun.
"Are you out of your mind? How could you let him go home?"
"Your Highness, Master Xu is very reliable. He has been by my side for so many years and has always been loyal to me!"
"Hmph, what a pig-brain!"
The former crown prince was furious; he hadn't expected to encounter such a fool.
"Your Highness, I assure you, Master Xu will be absolutely fine!"
...
When Doctor Xu and the others returned in the evening, Sheng Yuhua asked about the ointment.
"No new drugs were added, just the dosage of some of them was increased. Some people have poor constitutions, so their reactions are more severe."
"Snow Girl, are you really going to get involved in this? Do you know how many people in this city are suffering because of this?"
Doctor Xu was deeply worried. Although he could be quite tough at times, as a doctor, he felt terrible seeing so many people suffer.
"Tube!"
It wasn't that Han Luoxue was kind-hearted, but rather that nothing could go wrong here.
"But I still won't go out recently. I always feel a little uneasy, as if something is about to happen."
She had been refreshing the system's shop for the past two days, but found that nothing new had appeared. Perhaps she was just overthinking it.
But why? She had never panicked when there was no news from Brother Chen in the past.
Has something happened in the capital?
"Alright, the only way to solve their problems is to increase the water content."
"I have no problem with that; I can supply as much as you need!"
"Then I'll get to studying it right away!"
Doctor Xu was quite straightforward. Old Man Li sighed, "This is the attitude a doctor should have. I don't know what that Fatty Liu was thinking, doing such a despicable thing. Doesn't he fear his ancestors will crawl out of their graves?"
Han Luoxue smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Who knows, maybe one day he'll really crawl out of his grave and teach this unfilial descendant a lesson!"
"We'll not be fixing the other shops for now. People in the city are in a state of panic right now, and I'm worried things will get out of hand if this isn't resolved soon."
Her two children are still young and need constant care, so she wants to spend more time with them.
"Madam is right, I will keep an eye on the situation outside!" Zhou Jun nodded in agreement.
"Be careful when you go out. Oh, and have them find out if anyone's causing trouble in the chaos. Also, gather information about the magistrate's actions over the years. Since I'm here, I'll help Brother Chen with this!"
Such a good place deserves to be firmly in our own hands. As for the county magistrate, he will be replaced by someone trusted by Brother Chen.
Salt Mountain is of paramount importance to the country and must not fall into the hands of others.
Zhou Jun nodded, and Zhou Jie said with a grin, "What about me? What can I do?"
In the past few days, she has been wearing a veil when she goes out. Although it is a bit inconvenient, she is following Han Luoxue's advice.
Most of the time, Wang Yan was with her. Wang Yan often asked about Zhou Jun's situation, and Zhou Jie told her everything in detail.
"Good luck! If Zhou Jun agrees, Xue and I will put in a good word for you!"
Wang Yan was full of confidence, while Mu Yurou had been much calmer lately, occasionally showing up, but not as eager as before.
The group didn't mind; they weren't very familiar with each other anyway. Zhou Jie was also a very straightforward person, and she liked straightforward people, like Wang Yan.
Instead of Mu Yurou, she had to think for a while about what Mu Yurou said, and there might be other meanings in her words that Mu Yurou didn't know.
This is the difference between people.
"Do whatever you want, Sister Zhou, is it any of my business to stop you?"
"Oh dear, I want to open a restaurant!"
Zhou Jie was in high spirits; she personally took charge of the cooking, and they could eat whatever they wanted every day.
"You still want to eat delicious food every day, right?"
"Oh dear, Xue-mei saw right through me again." Zhou Jie looked dejected, and everyone laughed.
"Sister Xue, what you make is so delicious! We could open a barbecue restaurant or a hot pot restaurant, either would be great."
Zhou Jie is full of enthusiasm. This time, she is determined to do everything herself when opening the store and will definitely not trouble others for help.
In the past, when she ran her business in Beijing, she mostly acted as a hands-off manager.
"In a few days, I'm not in the mood to do it right now."
Seeing that Han Luoxue wasn't in high spirits, Zhou Jie didn't complain:
"Okay, I'll take a look around first."
"Xue'er, are you alright?"
Yunniang also sensed that something was wrong with her daughter, so she quickly put some food on her daughter's plate and urged her to eat more.
"It's nothing, I guess it's because I haven't been resting well lately."
"Then I'll take care of the child tonight, you get some sleep."
Han Luoxue is usually not needed at night, but sometimes she sleeps with the child, and when the child wakes up, she will also be startled awake.
"Need not."
"Snow Girl, you don't need to come over tonight. We'll take good care of the children."
Aunt Xu also hurriedly comforted them, saying that these two children were so easy to take care of, and with her granddaughter's help, they weren't tired at all.
"Oh well."
Han Luoxue was very satisfied with Aunt Xu; she was truly devoted to the children.
...
"Your Highness is..."
The Crown Prince, having arrived in Yancheng, certainly wouldn't hide in the county government office. It wasn't as pleasant as she remembered. There were few people in the shops, and the pedestrians on the street were hurrying along.
However, while he was strolling around, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.
"This is..." The former crown prince's gaze narrowed slightly. Logically speaking, this person shouldn't be here.
"Your Highness, shall I go and take a look?"
Go!
The former crown prince's eyes were cold and piercing. If it really was that person, then this county magistrate truly deserved to die!
Didn't they say there were no strangers from the capital? This woman, wasn't she always in the capital? How did she suddenly end up in Yancheng?
And judging from her appearance, it seems she hasn't been here for the first time.
Because of this incident, the prince lost his desire to continue shopping.
After returning to the manor, Xiangyang entered shortly afterward: "Your Highness, it's her!"
"Did you see clearly? Did you ask when she arrived?"
"Your Highness, it's said she's been here for quite some time. I heard there was another woman with her; that woman was married and arrived heavily pregnant, but she gave birth a little over a month ago!"
Former Crown Prince Ouyang Fu clenched his fists, his eyes cold and piercing.
"Hehe, it's true what they say, 'I searched high and low but found it right under my nose, and then it came to me without any effort!'"
They said this almost through gritted teeth.
"Your Highness..."
"No wonder we couldn't find any trace of them anywhere in the capital; it turns out they've hidden here."
"Ouyang Zhen, you're really something, managing to hide people so well. But man proposes, God disposes. I bet you never imagined that I would come to Yancheng."
