The house is not big and is divided into a front yard and an inner yard, separated by a hanging flower gate in the middle.
The inner courtyard consists of the main house, east and west wing rooms, and the houses are connected by winding corridors.
There are several pots of peonies in the middle of the yard, which are large, gorgeous, and colorful. Next to them stands a wooden swing, which swings in the wind, full of childlike fun.
This house was too luxurious for Zhang Hehua. From the moment she entered, she felt uneasy.
She was used to being poor and felt that she was not worthy of such a nice house.
My younger brothers and sisters were not at all timid. They were extremely satisfied with the yard and ran and played happily around it.
When Su Wanti, Shang Xingjian and An Jing changed their clothes, took their medicine boxes and prepared to go out, Zhang Hehua could no longer suppress the uneasiness in her heart.
She took Su Wanti's hand and asked anxiously, "Awan, when will you come back?"
Su Wanti comforted her, "Mother, I'm going to deliver medicine to the An family. I'll be back in two hours at most."
Seeing her mother's worried look, she smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? We have already arrived in Luzhou. It's very safe here. This house was found by Brother Zhang and his men. You can live here without worrying about not having enough money."
Su Wanti thought that An Jing rented the house, but in fact, Shang Xingjian had someone buy it.
Before arriving in Luzhou, he instructed Changliu to send someone to buy a house near his home in Luzhou.
The purpose is to provide Su Wanti's family with a safe place to stay.
Today, Shang Xingjian and An Jing changed their makeup and no longer looked like the ones Zhang Hehua and others had seen. In order to avoid arousing suspicion from the Su family, they both wore veils.
The man's veil hat has a wide brim around it, and the brim is decorated with dark gauze that reaches his shoulders.
The face is covered by a veil, so it is hard to see clearly, and only the facial features can be vaguely seen.
Zhang Hehua was a traditional person and had never looked directly at the face of a foreign man along the way. She just thought it was a bit strange that the two brothers of the Zhang family wore veils, but she could not see any changes in their appearance.
She turned around, bowed her head and thanked Shang Xingjian, "Thanks to both of you for taking care of me along the way... I know you're anxious to leave, but I still have something to say to Ah Wan, so please wait a moment."
"Mother, if you have anything to say, please come back and tell me." It was already afternoon, and Su Wanti wanted to get home before sunset, so she didn't want to waste time.
At this moment, Shang Xingjian's voice sounded faintly, "Ah Wan, talk to your aunt again. Don't worry, it won't matter if you delay for a while."
After all, once you enter the An family, you probably won’t be able to leave.
Behind the dark veil, the man's eyes darkened slightly.
Zhang Hehua didn't have anything important to say. She kept reminding Su Wanti that the An family was a large family with strict rules, and asked her to remember to be careful and polite, and never act recklessly like she did in Shanyan Village.
She also said that the house was too good and she didn't feel at ease living there, always feeling unworthy of it. She asked Su Wanti to find a real estate agent after she came back and use the family's money to rent a simple and cheap small courtyard to live in.
Su Wanti was thinking about delivering medicine to the An family, so she agreed perfunctorily.
Finally, she held her mother's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said, "Mother, it's getting late. I really should go. I will be home before sunset. We can talk when I get back."
After saying that, she waved her hand and left with the medicine box on her back.
Shang Xingjian and An Jing also followed her, carrying medicine boxes.
Shang Xingjian glanced at the eaves seemingly unintentionally. The shining glazed tiles and the intricately carved rafters were silent and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Only he knew that on the rooftop there were secret guards arranged by him who were silently monitoring and guarding.
This house is near the An family. The three of them walked out of the gate, crossed a street and arrived at the main gate of the An family compound.
The ancient and tall main gate was tightly closed, with a plaque with large gold-plated characters hanging above it, which read "An Mansion".
Not far from the house, Shang Xingjian and An Jing had already taken off their veils.
Now the two of them are wearing green scarves and green robes, looking handsome and elegant.
An Jing went forward and knocked on the door. The gatekeeper looked out through a window deliberately left on the left side of the gate.
Then I saw three people who looked like doctors standing at the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Menzi stuck his head out and asked.
Su Wanti said, "We are here to deliver the Resurrection Herb."
Hearing this, the doorman perked up and hurried to ask the housekeeper to come over.
When the door opened, the housekeeper saw that the three men were neatly dressed, had handsome looks, and carried a complete medicine box. He felt that these three men were not swindlers, so he politely invited them in.
After inviting the guest to the front hall and serving tea, the housekeeper sent a servant to call the palace doctor.
The court physician is knowledgeable and has a good memory, and knows many medicinal herbs. He is needed to identify the authenticity of the resurrection grass.
At this time, a maid came in. When the housekeeper saw the maid, he immediately smiled and said, "Madame Qin."
Nanny Qin was the nanny who served beside the wife of his second master, and this second wife was the younger sister of the current empress.
Nanny Qin watched An Jing grow up. She could recognize the young master just by looking at his figure without looking at his appearance.
Her eyes swept over the people in the room, lingering briefly on the two young men before she said to the housekeeper, "My wife heard that some doctors had arrived to deliver medicine. Since she's not feeling well, let's have them come into the inner courtyard and take a look at her."
The eldest prince was on business near Luzhou when he was attacked on the road and his whereabouts are unknown.
The second master's son, Master An, the eldest prince's close bodyguard, also disappeared along with the eldest prince.
After the second wife got the news, she sent many people to search the scene of the incident, but found nothing. The second wife was worried and sad, and locked herself in the room all day, crying day and night, which made her feel unwell.
