That night.
"Master, the young lady sent someone to bring you a message saying that she has found a stunning beauty for you."
In the county magistrate's study, the butler approached the county magistrate and said with a sly smile, deliberately lowering his voice, "It's still your favorite, my lord, the wife."
"oh?"
County Magistrate Huang's eyes lit up, and the age spots on his face became active at the same moment.
Feeling that his reaction was a bit too much, he deliberately chuckled and said, "Tell me about this girl, she is really messing around."
"Master, the young lady's filial piety is truly evident to all. Tell me, how many people can compare to our young lady out there?"
The housekeeper flattered Huang Junshi non-stop, and as expected, he was overjoyed. "Then go and get me some nourishing soup and medicine."
"yes."
Thinking that the old man had his own place to go tonight, the housekeeper hummed a little tune and planned to go and have some fun later. Unexpectedly, he fainted as soon as he reached the small kitchen.
"Tsk tsk, so weak."
Jiang Li clapped his hands, put away the smoke, and waved towards Gu Qingchen. Soon, the housekeeper was also dragged to a corner.
"I thought it would take you a long time."
While adding her special medicinal powder to the tonic medicine pot simmering on the stove, she teased her prince, "By the way, Miss Huang has a nice figure!"
"You girl!"
Gu Qingchen looked at the movement outside and flicked Jiang Li's forehead.
Before entering the county magistrate's mansion, Jiang Li had him take the detoxification pill in advance. However, during dinner, Jiang Li tasted that something was wrong with the food, so the two pretended to faint after eating and drinking.
Sure enough, as they expected, when they lost consciousness, someone carried them to different rooms.
However, Huang Shurong was too anxious. Thinking of Gu Qingchen's frail body, he dismissed everyone as soon as it was over and rushed straight into the room where Gu Qingchen was.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he was knocked unconscious by Gu Qingchen's palm.
After avoiding the guards along the way, it didn't take long for Gu Qingchen to find Jiang Li who was waiting in the kitchen.
"Alright, if our county magistrate doesn't have a miracle doctor to save him after taking this potion, he'll probably be dead soon. Your Highness, go check on those lovers. I'll go to the study and take a look."
After changing into a maid's clothes, Jiang Li carried the medicine cup and went to the study.
"What do you do?"
Sure enough, there were the most guards outside the study. Jiang Li was stopped as soon as he reached the door.
"I, the servant, am here in the name of the housekeeper to deliver medicine for the master."
Normally, the butler would never let anyone near the study, so upon hearing this, the guard didn't let anyone go. He asked suspiciously, "Why didn't the butler come to see us off himself today?"
Jiang Li's mind turned, and she immediately raised her eyes and smiled, "The housekeeper said that the master would be happier if I came to see him off."
After seeing the maid's appearance clearly, the guard understood instantly and nodded, "In that case, you can go in."
As soon as Jiang Li pushed open the door of the study, County Magistrate Huang stopped what he was doing.
"Are you the new maid?"
Jiang Li smiled shyly and said softly: "In reply to the master's words, this servant has only been in the mansion for a short time."
As she spoke, she brought the medicine cup to the old man and said, "This servant is here to serve you, Master."
County Magistrate Huang stared at Jiang Li's face with his eyes wide open. He had long forgotten about the housekeeper and really drank all the medicine Jiang Li fed him one mouthful at a time.
He was thinking that after he had enjoyed the beauties Rong'er had prepared for him tonight, and recovered his energy in a couple of days, he could let this little maid serve him well.
After taking the last sip, the old man could no longer open his eyes. When he fell asleep, Jiang Li shook his hands, stretched, and walked around the county magistrate's study.
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
You really don’t know until you see it, it’s really shocking.
This County Magistrate Huang has done a lot of bad things!
Imposing taxes, abducting women, collusion between officials and businessmen... How daring! Jiang Li was amazed as he flipped through the handwriting of County Magistrate Huang. It was really eye-opening.
More importantly, he also took advantage of the geographical advantage of Rongcheng County, which was naturally suitable for growing medicinal herbs, and almost monopolized half of Daning's medicinal herbs business.
Jiang Li flipped through the book again and found that all the officials' families in the capital, both those she knew and those she didn't, including well-known wealthy businessmen, had dealings with him.
Some people buy and sell from him, and some offer him tributes on a regular basis.
Come to think of it, the medical skills of many doctors are actually similar, but if they give the patients the medicinal materials of different quality, the efficacy of the medicine will be very different.
Who doesn’t yearn for a healthy life without illness or disaster and a long life?
With so many good medicinal herbs in his hands, and they are all his private property, it is equivalent to holding those high-ranking officials and wealthy people in his hands. No wonder County Magistrate Huang is so unscrupulous.
"It's really enviable." Jiang Li muttered softly.
After putting the notebook into the space and restoring the other things he had read, Jiang Li finally walked out of the study.
When he reached the door, he even deliberately straightened his clothes and said to the guards, "The master said he wants to rest in there for a while and asked you not to disturb him."
Seeing this, the guards knew what had happened and let Jiang Li go without asking any questions.
“Gugu——”
“Gugu——”
After Jiang Li returned to the kitchen, he kept making noises for a long time before Gu Qingchen came.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. I'll take you out first."
Before they had time to exchange information, Gu Qingchen grabbed Jiang Li's slender waist, tapped his toes, and flew out from the outer wall of the backyard.
Going around to the back of the inn where Mo Qi and the others were, Jiang Li saw from a distance that there were two connected rooms with open windows.
"Princess, you are really back!"
Seeing the prince and princess appear, Bai Zhi's heart finally relaxed. Woo woo woo, she was scared to death. Mo Qi really didn't lie to her.
