After all, no one is perfect.
As long as what you do does not bother others, it is naturally right.
Zhou Jiaojiao felt that Zhao Xiaochuan was also a pitiful child. She took the initiative to speak to his back, "Zhao Xiaochuan must be under too much psychological pressure. His mother and grandmother had a conflict in the past. They only cared about hurting each other and only used Xiaochuan without any concern. In addition, he experienced the betrayal when he saved his mother but was hurt by her in turn. The child is young and does not know how to let go or vent his emotions. He is afraid and hides in his own world, which is why he has become more taciturn, timid and withdrawn."
"Brother Zhao, if you truly care about him, I suggest that you keep the child with you. No one can take better care of him than you. At least with you, he will feel his father's love. He also needs his family's affirmation that he has done nothing wrong and that he didn't kill his mother."
Zhao Changliu's back stiffened. He was visibly shocked when he heard this.
"If you're worried he can't divert his attention, teach him a skill and keep him away from those who bring him pain. He'll get over it over time. If you don't pay attention now, even a god won't be able to save him in the future."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Zhao Changliu obviously knew how his family had been treating him during this period. After all, everyone in the village lived in the same house. The villagers often talked about the conflict between Chen Lin and the Zhao family when they caught up with Zhao Changliu, so it was hard for him not to know.
This included Shen Lin forcing Boss Zhao to use a knife on Mrs. Zhao, and he actually did it.
After Zhou Jiaojiao dealt with Zhao Xiaochuan's problem, she put it out of her mind and didn't think about it for long. The main reason was that when she was seeing a blacksmith, she signed the blacksmithing method on him.
She studied this blacksmithing method and found that it was actually not much different from the weapon refining method that the system had rewarded before. At least, as long as Zhou Jiaojiao gave a few pointers, this blacksmith Zheng should be able to forge the space fragments into a small space, and the kind that does not require recognition of the owner. According to the system, the ones that require recognition of the owner are more advanced and more rare. The small space can only be regarded as a storage treasure, not even a magic weapon, let alone a divine weapon.
"Miss Zhou."
At this time, Wang Da came over and whispered to her that Lord Ye, the Tongzhi, sent her to tell her something important.
Zhou Jiaojiao stood up and told Zheng the blacksmith to follow the doctor's advice and treat the illness well.
She and Chu San went to a shed not far away and met Lord Ye who was working in the office.
Lord Ye was not in the government office, but was working with his subordinates to arrange the treatment of the epidemic, and he did his best.
"Master Ye."
Seeing Zhou Jiaojiao coming, Lord Ye hurriedly asked her to come and sit down. He was not angry when he saw Chu San appear with him. It was obvious that he had already learned about the situation of the Chu family from Mo Congwu.
"Miss Zhou, the person in charge of the medicinal herbs here said that we are running low on herbs, especially the herb called Forsythia suspensa that is used to treat epidemic diseases. We can only last for three days at most."
When Zhou Jiaojiao heard the bad news, her first reaction was to ask, "Did Lord Mo know about this before he left?"
"I understand. Actually, there was enough, but an epidemic broke out in various counties outside the city, and more medicinal materials were needed, so some were transferred from the city." Lord Ye explained helplessly, "The situation there is too serious. If we don't treat it now, it will spread to the city as well. It's not worth it."
"Then Master Mo, Master Ye, how are you going to solve this problem?"
When Lord Ye heard her asking, he didn't seem surprised at all. He remembered that Mo Congwu had told him before he left that although Zhou Jiaojiao was a woman, she was a smart person and he could ask her for help if he couldn't solve the problem himself.
Lord Ye really couldn't hold on any longer, so he actually believed what he said and went to Zhou Jiaojiao for a last-ditch effort.
"It's like this. We have already arranged for people to investigate. We can go to the nearby Qianzhou to purchase medicinal herbs, but the current situation is that the provincial government can only arrange a team of 60 people to be responsible for escorting. Not to mention the dangers on the road, how to successfully transport them back after buying them is also a problem."
"Then use the artifact."
Lord Ye was horrified and immediately waved his hands: "No, no, the artifact cannot be touched. Many people are now setting their sights on Yuzhou and have sent many people here to seize the artifact. If we give it to them, they will definitely be snatched away. The traces are too obvious."
"Oh, what if the artifact has actually been sent to Youzhou a long time ago?" Zhou Jiaojiao calculated the time. As long as everything went well, Chu Qi should have reached Youzhou. He was riding a horse and had been on the journey for more than a month.
If the news is released at this time, there will be no need to worry about any accidents. Instead, all attention can be attracted to Youzhou. If the spies of other princes want to rob and kill, they will have to be able to defeat General Xie's men. After all, Youzhou is General Xie's base camp. As early as after the turmoil in the capital, General Xie killed many spies. Now, in the eyes of the court, General Xie is already a traitor.
This news was naturally told by Zhao Changliu.
Moreover, before Chu Qi left, she borrowed Li Hezhen's secret guard to pass the message to General Xie in advance, so that Chu Qi would be picked up as soon as he arrived in Youzhou.
"What?"
Lord Ye was stunned. "How could that be?"
"Isn't the artifact in the hands of Lord Mo? Most of those assassins have chased Lord Mo out of the city."
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "Master Ye, you only need to send a message to Master Mo. The artifact has indeed been delivered to General Xie."
"It's better to send it over, it's better to send it over." Lord Ye was startled, obviously frightened by the news, but he also felt it was natural.
He then said, "Then what should we do about the medicinal herbs we are short of?"
Seeing his reaction, Zhou Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Lord Ye was one of them.
"Are there any epidemics in other states? We can exchange the epidemic prescription for medicinal materials. Do you agree?"
"Someone has been arranged to contact him."
"I don't know if it will succeed. Now it depends on whether you, Miss Zhou, can control the disease in the capital city despite the lack of a single medicinal ingredient."
Zhou Jiaojiao: “…” What the fuck, this kind of thing is really embarrassing.
Perhaps seeing Zhou Jiaojiao's unhappy face, Lord Ye felt a little embarrassed, but he was also embarrassed to let her work for him in vain, so he said: "Miss Zhou, don't worry, when the time comes, Lord Mo and I will definitely report your merits. General Xie is the best to his own people. When you arrive in Youzhou, he will reward you. Not only will he give you houses and shops, but he can also give you land and farms. When your whole family arrives in Youzhou, you don't have to worry about not having enough money to buy a house. Of course, with your ability, General Xie will definitely employ you. At that time, we can have an extra guarantee. As long as the Xie family army is not destroyed, they will definitely protect you and your family."
