Chapter 628 Cool Tea

Jiang Fubao spoke to Meng Zhili, Meng Bujiu and his family.

She is no longer the little kid who opened a clinic at the age of nine.

Can stand on his own now.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll go back first so as not to delay you. Remember to go back early tonight. I'll cook for our Fubao tonight. What would you like to eat? I'll ask your dad to buy some food in a while so we don't run out of it."

Zhang Jinlan raised her eyes and asked with a smile.

"Well, I like everything grandma cooks, but I still like meat the most. Just watch and do it, grandma. Don't tire yourself out, and don't cook too much. It's hot, and the kitchen is extremely hot. Grandma, be careful not to get a heat stroke. Just cook one or two dishes, and let the maids do the rest."

Jiang Fubao was worried that grandma was too tired and might get heatstroke, so she gave her warnings with a serious face.

Grandma has always loved her, if she didn't say that.

I’m afraid grandma will have to cook more than a dozen dishes.

That's really like a sauna.

In this weather, staying in the kitchen for a quarter of an hour would make you sweat like rain. My second sister, who is so young and has such a good body, can't stand it. She has to come out from time to time to take a breath and drink some iced tea.

Not to mention grandma.

In this world of short life span, Grandma’s age is about the same as seventy years old today.

Asking a 70-year-old man to cook in a kitchen without air conditioning in the middle of summer is simply torture.

Jiang Fubao persuaded her several times before forcing Grandma to swear to heaven that she would only cook two dishes.

Afterwards, Zhang Yanzi and Jiang Siyin said a few words to each other and turned away.

Jiang Fubao watched everyone at home leave, then took Meng Zhili and Meng Bujiu to the backyard.

The expanded backyard is much more spacious. There is a round stone table under the tree, with the father and son sitting on each side.

Jiang Fubao personally poured them two cups of cool tea.

The prescription was written by her herself, and it contained twelve kinds of medicinal ingredients.

My second sister cooked it early in the morning and hung it in the well.

It's so refreshing to drink it when it's hot.

The father and son, who had been standing with Jiang Fubao for a long time, were really feeling the heat. As soon as they sat down, they picked up the cups and drank most of the drinks.

"Is this the cool tea that Fubao mentioned? It tastes a bit strange, a bit bitter at first, but then sweet, with a refreshing sour taste in the mouth. It's not bad to drink. On the contrary, after drinking half a cup of this, the heat in my body seems to have disappeared."

Meng Bujiu nodded slightly and praised Jiang Fubao.

After all, he drank the rest of the cold tea.

"My godfather is a bit busy, and your godmother happened to be unable to come because of something else. If Fubao needs anything, just send someone to the Dong family and inform the servants, and I will naturally know. Your godfather has been busy recently, too. A group of students will be taking the imperial examination soon, and he is busy right now. He asked me to tell you so that you don't blame him."

Meng Zhili didn't finish the rest. He didn't like bitter food. Although the cooling tea could relieve the heat, he couldn't stand the bitter taste.

Putting down the cup, he patiently explained to Jiang Fubao.

"Father, you are too polite. Of course I won't be polite. We are a family. I will tell you if I need anything. Don't worry. Besides, I won't blame Grandpa. When I am not busy, I will go to see Grandpa. I have been very busy these days. Grandpa must miss me.

Today is just the opening day. It doesn't matter if you don't come. I didn't expect you to come and show your support. Hehe, with you guys supporting me, no one dares to bully me, unless he is blind and deliberately looking for trouble! But I have Erya and Shitou by my side. They have practiced martial arts, and ordinary people can't get close to me. Don't worry, godfather."

The presence of the county magistrate and the prefect clearly told the people that Jiang Fubao had the support of these two big trees and no one dared to offend her or cause trouble.

If you want to touch her, first consider whether you are qualified enough.

Besides, she also has the words written by the emperor himself.

It's literally a life-saving talisman.

Jiang Fubao was deeply moved.

My godfather was promoted to prefect and is busier than before.

After all, he was promoted, and although it was because of her, Jiang Fubao never asked for repayment. In her subconscious, Meng Zhili was her godfather, so they were a family!

Who would care about these things with their family?

She volunteered to help her godfather get promoted.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. Ruling Mansion can't leave me. If I delay any longer, there might be trouble. Fubao, you have to be good. If someone bullies you, go find Bujiu. If he can't solve the problem, I will solve it."

Meng Zhili glared at his son fiercely, his words full of threats.

Meng Bujiu was speechless.

Did he pick it up?

Besides, even if his biological father didn’t tell him, he would protect Fubao.

Who was it for that he went to all the trouble to transfer Baal back here?

"Brother Bujiu, you should go back too. I heard that someone was beating drums outside the county government office a few days ago. I'm afraid you were very busy. How did you resolve that matter?"

Jiang Fubao also has his own eyeliner.

She basically knows all the major events that happen in the county.

"You know all this, kid? It's true. A few days ago, a woman beat a drum to protest injustice, saying that her mother-in-law and her husband had killed her daughter. But the people in that village all protected the mother and daughter. There were no witnesses, no physical evidence, and the body couldn't be found. I'm worried about how to judge this case."

Meng Zhili had already left.

Meng Bujiu, who had originally planned to leave, simply sat back and started chatting with Jiang Fubao.

Tired of standing, Jiang Fubao sat down in the seat where his godfather used to sit and listened to Meng Bujiu talking.

"Otherwise, how about torture?" Jiang Fubao suggested.

Few people can endure the torture in the county government. Even the bandits are like that, let alone ordinary people. They will confess honestly after being whipped twice.

"Fubao, no, if you really want to use torture, according to the law, you should not only use it on the mother and son, but also on the woman. But you don't know, hey, the woman looks really...

When I saw her that day, I found that she was as thin as a stick, with wounds all over her body. If she was tortured again, I was afraid she would not live to see the next day. But if I didn't torture her, and only tortured the mother and son, there would definitely be rumors that she had confessed under torture..."

Meng Bujiu explained to Jiang Fubao slowly.

His cup was empty, so Jiang Fubao simply poured him another cup of cool tea. As he spoke, he sipped the tea, and the sweat on Meng Bujiu's forehead stopped.

"I see. It seems like being an official isn't easy. Well, I won't blame you, brother. How about this? Since there is no witness, why don't we just create one?"

Jiang Fubao suddenly had an idea.

She raised her voice, then suddenly lowered it and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh? Fubao, please tell me in detail." Meng Bujiu's eyes lit up, and his body leaned slightly towards Jiang Fubao.
