Before Jiang Li could say anything, she heard the kneeling Pillar whimpering on the ground.
When Qi Rui lowered his head, he met Zhuzi's tearful eyes.
Zhuzi turned towards Qirui and kowtowed to the ground several times.
He uttered "Ahh——" twice and started making gestures again.
Doctor Chang explained, "Zhu Zi said that if the miracle doctor could cure his muteness, he would be willing to work like a slave for him."
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qi Rui, motioning him to go first.
"Doctor Chang, please prepare a room for me so that no one can disturb me."
After giving the instructions, he bowed to Prince Jingling and Princess Jingling, then went in with the medicine box.
Bai Mo was worried, so he followed him in.
As for Jiang Li, she took Gu Qingchen out of Youshan Hall and headed towards the herbal medicine shop, saying that she was hungry.
Gu Qingchen: “…”
It seems that he didn't manage to hold up the place at all today.
"I told you it would be a little later before I could make a move."
On the way, Jiang Li took Gu Qingchen to buy two strings of candied haws. "Since you skipped the morning court today, just consider it as accompanying me."
As soon as they arrived at the door of the herbal medicine shop, they met Bai Zhou who had just finished his shift. He said that Mrs. Bai had returned to her parents' home today, and he was too lazy to go back home, so he planned to have his meal at the herbal medicine shop and go straight to work.
After saying hello, Jiang Li saw that Bai Zhou seemed to have something important to discuss with Gu Qingchen, so she thought of taking the opportunity to go to the Hu Mansion as well.
See how Hu Tu and his daughter are doing now.
When the carriage arrived at the Hu Mansion, it was Hu Yuying who opened the door personally.
Seeing Princess Jingling coming in person, Hu Yuying knelt down and saluted immediately.
"I pay my respects to the princess."
She had not had time to thank the princess for her great kindness yesterday, but she did not expect that the princess would come to her in person.
"Thank you, Princess, for saving my life. I really..."
Before she could finish, Jiang Li asked Bai Zhi to help the man up.
"No need to be so polite. I'm here today to see your father." Jiang Li said, "We were in a hurry yesterday, and I guess Bai Mo hadn't completely removed the poison from your father yet."
Hearing this, Hu Yuying prepared to kneel down and salute again.
"Okay, kneel down again. Do you still want to treat your father's illness?"
Hearing Princess Jingling's teasing, Hu Yuying blushed slightly and quickly invited someone into the house.
The Hu family’s house is not big, but it is quiet.
However, as he walked along, he didn't see even a single servant.
Hu Yuying was a little shy and lowered her head as she said, "The servants in our house were previously under the care of Wu Lao San. My father and I were worried that people's hearts might change, so we dismissed them all. We haven't had time to visit the human traffickers again."
Jiang Li nodded, "It's a good thing to be cautious."
“Bang, bang—”
When they arrived at the west courtyard, Hu Yuying hurried a few steps and knocked on the door.
"Dad, Princess Jingling is here..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a "bang" from inside.
Hu Yuying quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
After walking a few steps inside, I saw that it was Hu Tu who had fallen to the ground.
"father!"
Hu Yuying screamed and was about to help the person up when Hu Tu got up, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the woman behind Hu Yuying.
"Meet the princess!"
"Xiaoxiao, hurry up and help him onto the couch."
Jiang Li looked at the painful expression on Mr. Hu Tu's face. He had obviously fallen hard because he was in a hurry to get off the bed. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Mr. Hu, there's no need to be so polite." Jiang Li took the medicine box from Bai Zhi and explained, "I'm here to see you today, don't be nervous."
How could Hu Tu not be nervous?
The Hu family has been slaughtering pigs for several generations, but the most glorious thing was that his great-grandfather once saved a poor scholar when he was selling meat at a stall. Later, the scholar passed the imperial examination and specially wrote a plaque for his great-grandfather.
His grandfather told his father about this, and his father told him about it.
Unexpectedly, he could ask Princess Jingling to treat him even at his old age.
I’m afraid my ancestors are going to die!
If his father knew about this, he would definitely come to him in his dreams and praise him, saying that this is the best poison!
After Jiang Li sat down beside the bed and took Hu Tu's pulse, she stood up and wrote a prescription, asking Mo Qi to take Bai Zhi to get the medicine.
Then she asked Hu Yuying and Mo Xiaoxiao to wait outside while she used golden needles to detoxify Hu Tu.
"Little girl, I'm going to the kitchen to boil some hot water for the princess to make tea. Please wait here."
There were no servants at home, so she had to do all these things herself.
Fortunately, Hu Yuying is not the kind of person who is spoiled. Although she enjoyed a good life in her childhood, she has been severely tortured by Wu Lao San in the past two years.
These things are no problem for her now.
Unexpectedly, not long after Hu Yuying arrived in the kitchen, she heard a familiar yet terrifying voice.
"Hu Yuying."
The man's voice sounded behind her, and the ladle Hu Yuying used to scoop water fell to the ground with a "bang".
"You... aren't you in jail?"
Hu Yuying never thought that the person in front of her would be Wu Laosan.
Her hands were shaking.
A lot of cold sweat has already appeared on my back.
"Humph," Wu Lao San laughed obscenely, "A mere prison cell, can it possibly hold me captive?"
Wu Laosan held a sharp knife in his hand, looked at Hu Yuying with a sneer, and walked towards her step by step.
"How dare you betray me, Yuying? I've told you before, if you dare to betray me, I will kill you first, and then kill your father."
Looking around and seeing no one around, Wu Lao San became even more arrogant. "It just so happens that you and your daughter have dismissed all your servants. Now, even if you scream at the top of your lungs, no one will come to save you."
"I'm not going to have a good life anyway, so I'm going to drag you and your father down with me!"
Hu Yuying was about to shout for help, but suddenly remembered that the male guard who followed the princess was assigned to the pharmacy to get medicine. If Wu Lao San knew that the princess was there, maybe...
Looking at the desperado in front of him, Hu Yuying had only one thought in her mind, to hold the man back first.
Wait until the princess's guards come back, then at least the princess and the others will be safe.
"Wu Laosan, we are husband and wife after all. Now that you have escaped, just leave. I won't report you to the police."
Hu Yuying clenched her fists and used all her strength to try to negotiate with Wu Laosan.
Unfortunately, the man laughed even harder.
"You still have the nerve to tell me you're husband and wife?"
"Hu Yuying, I'm telling you, don't try to stall for time with me. I'm definitely going to escape, but before I do, I'm going to kill both you and your daughter!"
After saying that, Wu Laosan rushed towards Hu Yuying with a kitchen knife in hand.
"ah!"
Hu Yuying screamed.
There was no pain as I had imagined.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Wu Laosan had fallen sideways into the pile of firewood beside him.
Mo Xiaoxiao retracted her legs, stretched her muscles, walked to Wu Laosan, picked up the kitchen knife on the ground, and slapped Wu Laosan in the face.
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be you, a stinkbug!"
"I didn't hit you yesterday. I regretted it so much that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night."
"I didn't expect that God would treat me well."
