Tao Rong's face was extremely ugly. He glanced at the people around him and could only grit his teeth and say, "Don't worry, I will definitely be there tomorrow morning!"
Xie Xuan smiled, his eyes full of laughter.
The Tao family had all publicly promised to go to Fukang County, so the others were even less likely to refuse.
He successfully completed the task assigned to him by the princess!
I'll head to Fukang County first thing tomorrow morning!
Meanwhile, Qiao Ziming on the other side was not idle either.
Qiao Ziming genuinely liked Bai Mengying, but he didn't have much affection for Liang Juan.
At most, they just find the other person docile and use them to pass the time while they're bored on the way.
Of course, the reason he favored Liang Juan was only because he believed her lies and wanted to use her to incite Su Muxi's jealousy.
But what he received in return was Su Muxi's mockery and even more disgust.
So he blamed it all on Liang Juan.
If he were in the capital now, he would definitely take his anger out on Liang Juan and let her know the consequences of deceiving him.
But now, in Jinzhou, he could only drive Liang Juan away.
Most importantly, he didn't want Su Muxi to see his ruthless side.
Although he was no longer obsessed with pleasing Su Muxi, he did not want to see the look of disdain in Su Muxi's eyes again.
Therefore, Qiao Ziming contacted the local prefect and a group of officials in Jinzhou City to discuss how to deal with the plague in Fukang County.
Returning home late at night, I was a little tired, but also a little proud.
What can Su Muxi, a woman, do?
At most, they only went to Fukang County to diagnose and treat the sick, but how could one or two medical professionals solve the problem of an epidemic that had broken out in the city!
In crucial moments, we still need to rely on him!
Didn't Su Muxi say he doesn't do his job properly?
Then he'll show Su Muxi his abilities!
We must make Su Muxi regret saying those words!
Although it was late at night, Qiao Ziming still wanted to find Su Muxi after entering the inn and tell her about the plan he had made with the prefect that day.
But after taking only two steps, he was stopped not by Ye Zeyu's guards, but by Chang Zhong.
"Your Highness, it is late at night. It would be best not to disturb the Princess's rest."
Chang Zhong remained expressionless, and his words brooked no refusal.
Qiao Ziming was displeased with Chang Zhong's attitude and coldly questioned, "My father asked you to protect my safety, but where have you been all day!"
"Of course, I did as the Marquis instructed."
Chang Zhong replied coldly, showing no intention of explaining in detail.
However, Qiao Ziming also realized that his father sent Chang Zhong to Jinzhou not only to protect him, but also to do other things.
"snort!"
He kept everything from his own son, yet trusted a mere servant so implicitly.
Qiao Ziming said nothing more, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Anyway, once Su Muxi arrives at the city gate early tomorrow morning, she will know everything he has arranged!
However, what Qiao Ziming didn't know was that shortly after he left, Liu Guanghan, the prefect of Jinzhou, went to find Wei Yichen.
"I didn't expect Xie Xuan to pull such a stunt. If those people all go to Fukang County, it will be difficult to handle. After all, most of them have powerful connections and cannot be touched casually. I heard that there are members of the Tao family among them."
Wei Yichen had also heard about the Fan Hua Lou incident, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. "My cousin really does always manage to surprise me!"
"Are you saying that this was arranged by Princess Yong'an?"
Liu Guanghan's face was filled with disbelief.
How could a woman be so thoughtful?
Wei Yichen nodded firmly, "Otherwise, do you think Xie Xuan would dare to casually mention the Emperor and Empress Dowager? As for that prescription, I have already had it studied, and it can indeed cure the poisoning of the people in Fukang County."
Upon hearing this, Liu Guanghan's anxious expression deepened.
"What should we do?!"
Wei Yichen calmly took a sip of tea before speaking, "What's the rush? Let them go if they want. Anyway, there aren't that many medicinal herbs. When the time comes, the people Su Muxi brings will only become witnesses to prove that the Su family is using fake medicine to deceive the people of Fukang County. Public opinion will be overwhelming, and the Su family will have a hard time turning things around!"
"If that's the case, then the entire piece of fat meat that belongs to the Su family will inevitably be divided up."
"Do you think the Wei family wants the Su family's wealth? We've always wanted the Su family's business! If word gets out that the Su family is selling fake medicine, who will take over the entire medicinal herb business in Qi?"
Liu Guanghan's eyes lit up with realization, and a smile appeared on his face.
Then another thought came to mind, and he wondered, "That heir of the Marquis of Anyang seems to be full of energy. Does he not know about the matter between the Marquis of Anyang and the Wei family?"
After the Marquis of Anyang's heir left, the Marquis of Anyang's subordinates came with a letter written in the Marquis's own handwriting, specifically to remind me not to heed the heir's arrangements…
"Young Master Wei, what exactly do you think the Marquis of Anyang means?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yichen frowned.
After a long pause, he murmured, "At least he didn't want to kill his own son."
"I can't see through Marquis Anyang either. As long as everything proceeds according to plan, that's fine. I don't care what the relationship between father and son is like. As long as the Wei family can replace the Su family, that's all that matters!"
…
The next morning, Su Muxi finished washing up early and prepared to set off for Fukang County.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped outside, they saw the Su family's carriage.
"So you are Princess Consort of Yong'an?"
A girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old lifted the curtain and slowly stepped down from the carriage.
Her slender figure, veiled, sized up Su Muxi, her eyes filled with disdain and arrogance.
Su Muxi remained silent, but Bai Zhi stepped forward and questioned her.
"Who are you, and why are you blocking the entrance to the post station so early in the morning?"
The other party did not answer Bai Zhi's question. Instead, a maid stepped forward and said, "My young lady is the eldest granddaughter of the second branch of the Su family!"
That attitude was more arrogant and haughty than Bai Zhi's.
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi knew who the visitor was—her cousin, Su Lingwei.
Su Lingwei is the granddaughter of her grandfather's half-brother. She is beautiful, skilled in medicine, and also very good at business. At a young age, she began to help manage the Su family business.
Grandpa said that Su Lingwei is the most outstanding one among the Su family of this generation. It's just a pity that her grandfather was born out of wedlock and she is a girl. Otherwise, Grandpa would have considered passing the position of head of the Su family to her.
"So it's my cousin Weiwei. What brings you here?"
Although Su Muxi sensed that the visitor had ill intentions, she was, after all, a member of the Su family, and it was not appropriate to cause any conflict outside.
However, Su Lingwei did not care about saving face and said coldly, "I am not worthy of being called Princess Yong'an's cousin! I came here today to go to Fukang County with Princess Yong'an."
Princess Yong'an, being a member of the Su family, casually devised an antidote and wanted a group of talented men from Jinzhou City to accompany you to Fukang County.
If anything unexpected happens, it might implicate the Su family!
