But later there was a plague, and Zhiyi had already saved her future husband by then, perhaps to show that the heroine was adding credit to the heroine.
Zhiyi, a girl who knew nothing about pharmacology, later found a prescription by accident.
Even if the plague was resolved, Qiu Yinong couldn't imagine it would continue to rage for more than three months if things continued as they were supposed to.
She didn't want to steal the credit, but to save people.
"Okay, Daddy will do it." Mr. Zhao agreed to Qiu Yinong's request without even asking.
"If anything happens to my child, you have several lives to pay for it."
"Compensation? Just a bastard, and one that wasn't even born yet."
"How dare you, a slave-like concubine of a shopkeeper, speak to me like that? I am a fifth-rank concubine appointed by the emperor himself, and yet you not only show no respect to me, but also insult me with vulgar language."
"I also want to see who can protect you."
Qin slapped Xu Qingwan's face again and again, and soon her cheeks became red and swollen like steamed buns.
Jiang soon heard the news and came over, but he didn't say anything and just stood aside to watch the fun.
Qin glanced at Jiang and let her go. Xu Qingwan was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and almost fell down. She had to grab a hawker who was watching the excitement nearby to steady herself.
Perhaps because she had someone to support her, her legs went weak and she fell into the peddler's arms.
The peddler cried out, hugged the man tightly in his arms, and smiled happily and proudly.
Seeing the jealousy of the men on the side, Xu Qingwan deliberately leaned in the peddler's arms and pretended to wake up for a long time.
Jiang Shi saw all of this, and only spoke up when she started flirting with the vendor in public, "Xu Shi, are you my master's concubine, or a shameless slut in a brothel?"
"How dare you flirt with a man like that, right in front of my house!"
"When you carry your master on your back, you don't even know what kind of virtue you are."
Xu Qingwan's expression suddenly changed. She quickly struggled to get up and looked at Jiang with an ugly expression.
"Madam, what are you talking about? Qin Shi hit me so hard that I was dizzy and lost my balance, so I fell into the arms of that vendor."
"Madam, please make the decision for me. I'm pregnant with the master's child, and Qin Shi dares to slap me in the face like this. Isn't this a slap in the face of our Li family?"
"Mistress, you must make the decision for me."
Jiang was not moved at all. She lowered her head and glanced at the skirt that Xu Qingwan had grabbed with disgust.
She broke free from Xu Qingwan's hand, stepped back a few steps, and then spoke: "You are a concubine who is not at home all day. Who knows where the evil child in your belly came from?"
"Speaking of Madam Qin, why did you come to the Zhao family's doorstep to look for Madam Qin?"
"Even though I live in seclusion, I've heard that Madam Qin has been conferred the title of Fifth Rank Imperial Concubine. Have you never heard of this outside?"
"You keep saying Qin, is this your upbringing?"
"I think you've been living in a dog's belly for the past thirty years."
Listening to Jiang scolding her in public, hatred appeared in Xu Qingwan's eyes.
Just as she was about to argue, she heard someone say that Manager Li was coming. Xu Qingwan's eyes rolled, and she suddenly stood up and cried as she ran towards the stone lions at the door of the Zhao family.
"Stop her!"
"Stop her!"
"Stop her!"
The first voice came from Shopkeeper Li, the second from Madam Jiang, and the third from the nanny next to Madam Qin.
"Wuwuwu, let me die. You all slandered me, wronged me, and humiliated me. I don't want to live anymore. Wuwuwu..."
When Xu Qingwan heard Manager Li also speak out to stop him, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a look of pride appeared in her eyes.
She broke free from the Zhao family servant's hand and threw herself into the arms of the shopkeeper Li: "Master, you have to make a decision for me. I'm almost being bullied to death, wuwuwu..."
When Shopkeeper Li saw her looking aggrieved and pitifully throwing herself into his arms, he felt really distressed.
He quickly soothed her softly, "Alright, alright, isn't the master back to support you?"
"Master, I know that in this family, you are the only one who cares about me."
Xu Qingwan leaned in Shopkeeper Li's arms and looked at Jiang proudly.
Jiang Shi didn't get angry either. She looked at Shopkeeper Li and said calmly, "Master, do you know that Madam Qin, the mistress of the Zhao family, has been granted the status of a fifth-rank imperial concubine by His Majesty?"
"Xu is disrespectful to Madam Qin, calling her a bitch all the time. The Li family has been in Qingquan Town for a long time. Have you forgotten your status?"
Hearing Jiang's words, Shopkeeper Li's whole body trembled.
He looked at Jiang in disbelief, then at Qin.
The Zhao family is just a group of merchants. Mr. Zhao has no achievements and has made no contribution to the Great Chu.
How could the Emperor of Great Chu grant an imperial decree to an ordinary woman?
Manager Li was not angry about Jiang's words. Jiang was originally one of the Marquis's personal maids.
It was because of marrying him that he had the opportunity to come here and dominate the world.
To be honest, the reason why the Li family can catch the lady's eye is because of his wife.
In fact, Manager Li really didn't dare to offend the Jiang family too much.
"Ms. Xu, did you really insult Madam Qin like this?" Although Manager Li liked Ms. Xu, he would still be wary if the interests of the Li family were involved.
Xu Qingwan was dumbfounded. She looked at Shopkeeper Li in confusion and timidity: "Master, I didn't mean to insult her on purpose. It's just that their family is going too far."
"Lian'er was bullied by her adopted daughter..."
"Adopted daughter? Zhao Yinong?" Shopkeeper Li was stunned, and then became even angrier.
