Chapter 62: Repentance
"This! Is this a prescription?"
Doctor Gao held a few pieces of paper as if they were pieces of gold, and looked at Qin Xiangnuan in disbelief. "These are all prescriptions for curing diseases and saving lives. They are all inexpensive medicinal materials, but the efficacy is amazing. If I were to study them, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come up with such a good prescription in years or even decades." After he said that, he was about to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan naturally did not dare to accept such a heavy gift.
She hurriedly stopped Doctor Gao. The prescription was just compiled by her according to the medical books she remembered. According to the climate of Nanfeng Town and the living habits of the people, it contained some basic diseases that they might often encounter. It could be considered as returning the favor.
In this way, she would not feel guilty about accepting the needle bag.
"It's fate that we meet. In a few days, I might need your help again. I hope you won't refuse then." Qin Xiangnuan already had a plan in mind. She agreed with Doctor Gao to meet again in three days, and then left the clinic with Liu.
On the way back to the County Magistrate's residence, Liu looked at Qin Xiangnuan seriously and murmured to herself, "Now, I feel like I don't know Nuannuan anymore. You grew up right beside me, and I watched you grow up little by little, but now you look more like someone who can support the General's Mansion than I do. Your father will definitely be proud of you if he sees you."
"Mom, I learned all this from you."
Qin Xiangnuan held onto Liu's arm, a small smile spreading across her face. She narrowed her crescent-shaped eyes, "Actually, I understood these principles before. Following you and Grandmother, I naturally understood how to win people's hearts and how to behave in society. But back then, my whole mind was focused on other things. My heart and eyes were filled with foolish people, and I abandoned many things for this..."
"I even argued with you and made you sad. Now, I think I was really ignorant back then."
Qin Xiangnuan said apologetically, "When I was young, I met Gu Mingqi. He was always sweet-talking me and pretended to be determined to marry me, so I gave him my heart. I was just blinded by him, but I didn't expect that it would implicate my father and the people in the general's mansion. Those letters in my father's study were brought in by Gu Mingqi. Apart from him, no one else could enter and leave my father's study at will."
"I figured it out afterwards, and my heart towards Gu Mingqi was completely cold. Although he is a prince, he only has calculations and schemes in his heart, and he doesn't have any sincerity at all. Now that I see through it, it's a good thing." Qin Xiangnuan expressed her views on the things the original owner did very frankly. She knew that if it were the original owner at this moment, she would probably say the same thing. Only by letting go of the past can one look better to the future.
When Liu heard her words, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she gently stroked Qin Xiangnuan's temples with her hands.
"Nuannuan has really grown up. Back then, mother and father were still worried. If you really married into the royal family, if you really agreed to stay in the capital with Gu Mingqi, I'm afraid the mountains are high and the roads are long, and we won't be able to take care of you in the future. Your life in that mansion won't be easy either."
Mrs. Liu was really worried about Qin Xiangnuan and thought a lot about her future.
Qin Xiangnuan looked at the county magistrate's residence and said with a sense of relief, "Is that possible? Gu Mingqi used me, and I have a sworn feud with him. If I don't avenge this, I will naturally not be able to swallow this anger. There is still a long way to go, and even if he laughs, he won't be able to smile for many days."
Even if Gu Mingqi sat on the throne, she would find a way to pull him down.
When she was working as an agent, members of the organization often said that she was a vicious woman and that if they provoked her, they would definitely be retaliated against.
Qin Xiangnuan didn't deny this. She was vindictive, and if anyone dared to scheme against her, she would devour them whole, leaving not even a bone behind! She suppressed the murderous intent in her eyes and went to the backyard. She saw the county magistrate tied to a tree, his mouth stuffed with a smelly piece of cloth. He was now filthy and smelly, and Qin Xiangnuan frowned in disgust.
"How did this happen? He is the county magistrate after all."
Qin Xiangnuan walked to the side of the well, took out a bucket of cold water and poured it at the county magistrate.
The weather was freezing cold, and the cold water instantly soaked through the county magistrate's clothes. He shivered on the spot, his lips frozen purple, and he looked at Qin Xiangnuan with curses, his teeth chattering.
"Ouch! Sorry, I forgot it's winter now. It's really cold."
Qin Xiangnuan rubbed her hands to warm them, and said deliberately, she turned her head to look at Qin Feng, and handed the medicine to Zou, "Second Aunt, this is grandma's medicine, just boil it and take it like we did at the General's Mansion. How is grandma? Is she in good health?"
"After you left, Mother woke up once and ate a bowl of rice soup. She kept muttering about you. She was dazed and didn't know where she was. I think she felt we weren't eating enough, so she refused to eat the steamed buns. No matter how we coaxed her, she wouldn't open her mouth." Zou sighed, her face filled with worry. "I'm afraid she's about to wake up again. I'll quickly boil the medicine."
Qin Xiangnuan nodded and looked towards the warehouse in the backyard.
She glanced at the several burly men squatting nearby. With just a glance, they immediately came running over, understandingly saying, "Miss Qin, what do you want?" Qin Xiangnuan was amused by them and said bluntly in front of the county magistrate, "Go and count how many gold bars and silver ingots he has hidden at home. Bring them all out. You can take some, but not too much."
When you ask someone to do something for you, you always have to give them some benefits.
Qin Xiangnuan was a generous person. As soon as she finished speaking, they happily went to move their things.
The county magistrate cried out, his eyes almost falling out of their sockets. He wanted to bite Qin Xiangnuan to death. Qin Xiangnuan didn't care. She walked to the county magistrate, squatted gently, patted his face and said, "Those things are all the blood and sweat of the people that you extorted from the mouths of the common people. I want to pay for your sins and return all the things. I am doing this for your own good. How can you not appreciate my kindness?"
"Oh yes! I almost forgot to tell you. Aren't you the Seventh Prince's loyal lackey?"
Qin Xiangnuan opened her mouth in sudden realization, "I've had someone imitate your handwriting and send a letter back to the capital at full speed. I think the Seventh Prince will be moved when he sees it, but is he sending someone to help you, or to kill you?"
"Should we take a gamble and see which situation it is?"
Qin Xiangnuan turned around and looked at the county magistrate. "Will Gu Mingqi keep someone who didn't accomplish anything but threatened me in the letter?"
