Collecting herbs?

These words stunned everyone present.

The whole Yangcheng was in turmoil because of her. There was chaos and confusion, speculation, panic, and crying, but she just appeared calmly and said calmly that she was going to pick herbs.

It's like one year during the Yangcheng Lantern Festival, panicked parents screamed that their child had been taken away by a flower boy. The government sealed off the city and the people investigated. Everyone was tired of the noise that night and no one came to appreciate the lanterns. However, the child came out from under the bridge holding a string of sugar figures, saying that he accidentally fell asleep under the bridge while picking up the sugar figures to eat.

Children do not know the meaning of life and death, what separation means, or how important their safety is to their family.

But Miss Jun is no longer a child.

Mrs. Fang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had no thoughts at all.

The surprise of getting something back, the sense of relief that everything has settled, and the shame of being fooled.

She had nothing now, and the only thought in her mind was to slap the girl in front of her.

A hard, loud slap.

This was something she had wanted to do almost every moment last year, but had never really done.

Of course, she didn't think about it all the time, but when the thought came to her mind, she would do it immediately.

Mrs. Fang walked over quickly and waved her hand at Miss Jun.

But at the same time, someone rushed over quickly, seemingly unintentionally but just one step earlier, and hugged Miss Jun's shoulders.

"Cousin!" he shouted happily, "I'm glad you're back."

Mrs. Fang's slap was blocked and landed on his shoulder.

Fang Chengyu let out an "ah" and seemed to have just noticed his mother's actions.

"Mother." He turned his head and looked at her, begging sincerely. "Please don't be angry."

They hadn't even gotten married yet, and he couldn't bear to see her being touched by him? She had caused such a big incident, and she couldn't even be angry with him?

He really forgot his mother after marrying a wife!

Mrs. Fang had a complicated expression.

Unexpectedly, she would also experience the feeling of her son protecting his wife.

This feeling is really sour and refreshing.

The others have now come to their senses, and they have complicated expressions and don't know what to say.

If it was the Jun Zhenzhen from before, everyone would have scolded her without any mercy.

But if it was the previous Jun Zhenzhen, no one would have gone to such great lengths to look for her.

Magistrate Ma sneered.

"Collecting herbs." He said, looking at the girl being hugged by the maid and the young man. He snorted. Then he looked at Old Lady Fang, "Collecting herbs."

This is too absurd, is your Fang family playing a trick on me?

What do you want to do?

He looked at Miss Jun and his voice became heavier.

"Why are you picking herbs? You are not a doctor or a herbalist, why are you picking herbs?"

Yes, why do you want to collect herbs?

The servant standing next to the official also looked at the girl sharply.

Do I need to go out of the city to collect herbs?

So were you out of town all last night?

Where have you been? You, really. Are you collecting herbs?

Miss Jun looked at Magistrate Ma.

"I am indeed a doctor," she said somewhat apologetically.

doctor?

Magistrate Ma frowned and looked at her.

"You, how come you are a doctor?" he asked.

Asking a doctor why he is a doctor seems to be an unreasonable question.

Miss Jun thought about it.

"Because my grandfather was a doctor," she answered seriously.

My grandfather was a blacksmith!

Magistrate Ma cried out in his heart, how did I become an official?

"Sir, that's true." Old Lady Fang stepped forward and took over the conversation, "My father-in-law is from a family of doctors. Although my son-in-law has become an official, the family tradition has not been lost. She has learned the family medicine since she was a child."

Jun Yingwen was not an official of Shanxi Road. But because he was a relative of the Fang family, Magistrate Ma naturally checked his resume before coming. He also knew that the Jun family practiced medicine.

But, but.

Magistrate Ma looked at Miss Jun again.

"Why are you picking herbs?" he shouted again.

Although the question has returned to the original point, its meaning is different from the first time it was asked.

Why did you go to collect herbs at this time? As a young lady of the Fang family, why did you go to collect herbs?

"Sir, my cousin is here to treat my illness."

This time, before Miss Jun answered, Fang Chengyu had already answered.

Treat him?

Magistrate Ma frowned.

"Sir, this is a long story." Old Lady Fang also spoke again, "You must know that my Chengyu was originally ill and dying."

I do know this.

Magistrate Ma looked at her.

"Everyone can see that my Chengyu is much better now." Old Mrs. Fang continued, pointing at Fang Chengyu.

Everyone nodded.

so what?

"Chengyu was cured by my granddaughter," said Old Lady Fang, "using the Jun family's medical skills."

Jun family's medical skills?

Everyone was stunned, looking at this strange yet familiar girl. Strange because her face most people had never seen, familiar because her name most people had heard of.

Miss Jun, who has been causing unrest to both the Fang and Ning families since she came to Yangcheng, does she have such ability?

Everyone was shocked immediately.

…

“This story started a long time ago.”

The Fang family's hall was full of people. Magistrate Ma and other officials were invited into the Fang family from the street. Old Madam Fang ordered someone to serve tea while she began to speak.

"When Chengyu got sick, we looked for famous doctors but none of them could help. My father-in-law was still alive at the time, so we asked him to come and see us, but he was also helpless."

"What I didn't expect was that my father-in-law had always been concerned about Chengyu's illness, and he devoted himself to researching it, and he wrote down many folk remedies. It's a pity that he passed away before he could solve the problem..."

"What I didn't expect was that after my father-in-law passed away, my granddaughter not only inherited the family medical skills, but also cared about Chengyu's condition. From then on, she followed my father-in-law's notes..."

Is that so?

So that's how it is.

Everyone in the hall was looking at Miss Jun.

The servant standing behind the crowd frowned slightly, seeming confused and at the same time enlightened.

It is not important at the moment whether this Miss Jun has advanced medical skills or not, we can find out later.

Now what does this mean is that the Fang family knew that Fang Chengyu was poisoned? The disease is God's will, the poison is man-made, so they have been on guard and planning?

“…She looked through all the medical books, in Runan, in Funing…” Old Lady Fang’s voice continued.

Seeing that Old Lady Fang was reminiscing about the past, Magistrate Ma interrupted her with some impatience.

No one cares how hard it is or how hard you try to treat the disease.

"These things are irrelevant." He said, "Everyone knows that your Fang family was framed by your enemies, and they also know that it is not easy for you to turn things around."

After saying that, he looked at Miss Jun.

"But why did you go out to collect herbs and not come back all night? No one in your family knew anything about it?"

Yes, why?

It just happened to be this time.

Isn't this too coincidental?

The servant raised his eyelids and looked at Miss Jun.

"This is such a coincidence." Miss Jun said apologetically, "I didn't expect such a mistake to happen and cause such a misunderstanding."

Are there omissions and mistakes?

Everyone in the room looked at her, and Miss Jun sighed.

"I did talk to Master Lin, and he didn't lie. We said goodbye after we talked. I was about to come back, but when I was passing a street, I saw a man," she said.

What did you see?

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"A firewood seller." Miss Jun said.

A firewood seller?

"What's wrong with the firewood seller?" Old Mrs. Fang urged impatiently, "Just tell me quickly, don't waste time."

Are you hesitating because you want to make up a lie?

The servant narrowed his eyes.

Miss Jun looked hesitant and seemed a little uneasy.

"The main thing is that I'm afraid you won't believe me," she said. "The wood seller brought a child with him, and the child was holding a flower in his hand."

flower?

"This flower is a medicinal herb. It is very important for Chengyu's treatment. It is also very rare. I have been looking for it for a long time but have not found it." Miss Jun continued, "So I asked the firewood seller where he picked it from. Because I want to get it as soon as possible, the sooner I can use it, I asked the firewood seller's child to take a message home, and I went directly to collect the herbs."

She looked apologetic and helpless when she said this.

"It seems the message was not delivered."
