"What? You want the princess to repeat herself? Go when I tell you to! What are you dawdling for!"
Second Madam Chen pinched Zheng Ye's ear and gave him a "serious lecture".
"Mother! Please give your son some face!"
Zheng Ye rubbed his ears. In the past, he had lost more face in the army than he had in half a day.
I really don't give you any face; I'll pull your ear if I say I'm not going to...
After all, he was once a renowned General Who Pacifies the South!
"snort!"
Ning Xi'er and Bai Zhi both hummed twice at the same time.
Ning Xi'er felt more and more that the Second Madam was to her liking; her free-spirited and unrestrained nature was simply too adorable!
He took out a handful of candy from his spatial storage, pretending it was taken from his bundle, and gave a few to each of the old lady, the first lady, and the second lady.
"Go now!"
The second wife was overjoyed to receive the candy and kicked Zheng Ye, thus turning the dignified General Pingnan into Ning Xi'er's coachman.
He clearly brought back two carriages, thinking he'd at least have one of his own, since so many people in both households knew how to ride horses...
This brat insisted on calling me by name and demanding that I drive her carriage!
Indeed, women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with in the world!
So vengeful!
The remaining carriage was cleaned up by Eunuch Xu, and Xie Zhun was moved into the carriage.
"Your Highness..."
Eunuch Xu looked in the direction the carriage had left, feeling somewhat worried.
Having faced two perilous situations in the morning, if they were ambushed on their way to the county town, the three of them alone would likely find it difficult to cope.
Ning Xi'er only brought Bai Zhi with her, leaving the licorice behind, in case Haitang and Aoxue, who do not know martial arts, could not protect themselves if they encountered villains again.
Xie Zhun waved his hand slightly, and Eunuch Xu understood. He ordered Xuan Shuang to lead more than ten guards and run after him.
Medical care was underdeveloped in this era. Even if there were good traditional Chinese medicine doctors, they were mostly employed by the Imperial Hospital or served high-ranking officials and nobles, making it difficult for ordinary people to access them.
Ning Xi'er asked Zheng Ye to inquire about the situation. Even if the magistrate's own family did not have any patients, there were always seriously ill or incurable patients among their relatives on both sides.
When Zheng Ye bought a carriage at the city gate, he casually inquired with the merchants about the county magistrate's fear of his wife, a fact known far and wide.
Rumor has it that the magistrate's father-in-law was a wealthy merchant in the city who had been bedridden for many years, seeking treatment from numerous renowned doctors, but to no avail...
Ning Xi'er was greatly encouraged after hearing this; it was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy!
"Why are you so happy? Paralysis? That's paralysis! Do you really think you can cure it?!"
Ning Xi'er laughed instead of getting angry, "If I can cure you, you'll change your address and call me 'Grandma,' okay?!"
In fact, in any dynasty or in any context, you should never ask a man if he is capable or not.
Zheng Ye blurted out, "Okay!"
Ning Xi'er sat in the carriage and took out two sets of clothes from her spatial storage. They were both her size, and Bai Zhi could also wear them.
Have Bai Zhi change her clothes and put the change into her bag.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Ye immediately felt resentful.
Both were changing clothes, but why did she have new, so luxurious clothes in her bag...?
And is my profession really like that of a carriage driver?
Ning Xi'er asked him to stop the carriage on the side of the road. She and Bai Zhi stepped forward and handed a small ingot of silver to the guards, asking them to pass on a message to the magistrate's mansion, saying that she could cure the magistrate's father-in-law's illness.
The guards weighed the silver ingots in their hands; the magistrate had explicitly ordered them not to let anyone into the city without permission...
Wouldn't sending a message to the magistrate's residence at this time put him in a difficult position?
Moreover, judging from the young age of these two girls, their true intention is probably to use the opportunity to enter the city, not to treat them.
Just to be on the safe side, it's best not to offend the magistrate!
So he put away the silver ingots, pretended to go into the city to report, and as for the consequences of that report...
That's not something he can control!
The guards wore smug expressions, unaware that everything was within Ning Xi'er's calculations.
Because they had made two round trips, plus the time Zheng Ye spent buying the carriage, it was already getting dark.
Ning Xi'er took out a bit of sleeping potion from her spatial storage, its scent like spices, and applied it to her body.
Ning Xi'er returned to the carriage and said to Zheng Ye outside, "It will probably take a while for a reply, I'm going to take a nap first..."
As she lowered the carriage curtain, Bai Zhi suddenly felt her eyes grow heavy, and she lay down in a daze.
"Too much trouble!"
Zheng Ye muttered to himself outside the carriage.
Ning Xi'er slipped out of the sedan chair unnoticed by Zheng Ye.
She picked up two pebbles from the ground and threw them at Zheng Ye's head...
"who?!"
Zheng Ye exclaimed in surprise, only to find that there was no one around. It was truly a ghost!
Ning Xi'er walked to a secluded spot by the city wall, took out a rope from her spatial storage, hooked it onto the top of the wall, and climbed up effortlessly.
