Chapter 957: The appearance of giving bad ideas
Prefect You sent Zhu Qianqian back to his house and handed her over to his wife, then hurried back to find Fu Zhaoning.
Fu Zhaoning was also a little surprised when he heard his words.
"You mean, the Zhu family has been cultivating medicinal fields all these years?"
"yes!"
Prefect You was very excited. "I just asked Qianqian, and she took out a list of the medicinal herbs that the Zhu family's medicinal fields have harvested in the past two years."
He quickly took out the list and handed it to Fu Zhaoning.
Fu Zhaoning took a look and found that there were several medicinal herbs that were exactly what she needed. Moreover, the list from the Zhu family also stated the approximate stock they had in their warehouse, and it was quite a lot!
"We need these medicinal herbs from the Zhu family."
Fu Zhaoning spoke directly to Prefect You.
"How did the Zhu family originally plan to deal with these medicinal herbs?" Xiao Lanyuan asked after pondering for a moment.
"Originally they wanted to sell it to Tianxia Medicine Alliance or Tongfu Pharmacy, but the people from Medicine Alliance haven't found the Zhu family yet. However, the young master Situ of Tongfu Pharmacy has had contact with the Zhu family before."
When Prefect You talked about this matter, he suddenly remembered a detail.
"Father Zhu actually considered Young Master Situ as a candidate for son-in-law. He might have thought of mentioning it to him when he went to Tongfu Pharmacy to discuss the medicinal materials business. But for some reason, Young Master Situ didn't go to the Zhu family last month as originally agreed."
Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning looked at each other.
"Oh, I know about this."
"The prince knows?" Prefect You was a little surprised.
"Situ Bai was called back home by his father."
Fu Zhaoning wanted to laugh after hearing this, because Xiao Lanyuan's words seemed to be mocking Situ Bai.
Maybe he felt that he was already so old and still had to live under his father's control.
Prince Jun always had some hostility towards Young Master Situ. Knowing the whole story, Fu Zhaoning dared not say anything, for fear of making Prince Jun jealous again.
"Ah?" Prefect You also thought of this. "Young Master Situ's family is also well-known. I didn't expect that they still have to listen to the old master's words so much now?"
"Isn't it?"
Seeing that Prefect You had grasped this point very well, Xiao Lanyuan's displeasure towards him because of Zhu Qianqian just disappeared.
That’s right, he just doesn’t like Situ Bai.
Who made Situ Bai so shameless as to always try to steal his girl?
"Since the Zhu family wants to sell their medicinal herbs, I will buy them from them. Just write a letter and I will send someone to the Zhu family right away."
"only--"
Prefect You thought about it, secretly took two steps back, and then told Zhu Qianqian what she meant.
"Qianqian said this at this time, actually she has some selfish motives."
He originally didn't want to help Zhu Qianqian state this condition, but Zhu Qianqian told him with red eyes. Otherwise, Prince Jun and the Princess couldn't force him to buy the herbs, right?
"She still hasn't given up on this?" Fu Zhaoning found it a little unbelievable.
Why is Zhu Qianqian so persistent?
"She said that she only wanted to stay with the princess for a few days, clear the remaining poison and leave. She should give her a chance to see if she can—"
Prefect You was too embarrassed to say the following words.
"See if she can impress my father and make him accept her?" Fu Zhaoning saw his expression and said it for him, "At the same time, she also hopes that A Yuan and I can't stop her, right?"
This is Zhu Qianqian’s condition.
Prefect You stammered, not knowing how to respond, but that was the fact.
Zhu Qianqian wanted to use the medicinal herbs of the Zhu family to give herself a chance to be with Fu Jinchen.
Of course, she also knew that she couldn't force it, so she just wanted to spend a few days together and didn't dare to really say that the condition was that Fu Jinchen marry her.
"She's very courageous."
There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Lanyuan's tone when he said this.
Prefect You always felt that if Qianqian was still here, Prince Juan might have flattened her with a palm.
"I have also advised her—"
"It seems that your persuasion is useless." Xiao Lanyuan sneered. His tone became colder, "If I want the Zhu family's medicinal materials, is it her turn to negotiate with me?"
That's ridiculous.
Fu Zhaoning heard his anger and reached out and gently placed his hand on the back of his hand.
Almost immediately, Xiao Lanyuan turned over and held her hand. He was comforted by her small gesture and didn't seem so angry anymore.
Fu Zhaoning just didn't want to make things too difficult for him. If he used his power to put pressure on the Zhu family, he would certainly be able to get the medicinal materials, but this would be detrimental to his reputation. If the Zhu family went to Beijing to file a complaint, it would be exactly what the emperor wanted, and he would have a reason to punish him.
It's not impossible.
The fact that the Zhu family was able to raise a daughter like Zhu Qianqian, and also wanted Situ Bai to be their son-in-law, shows that they have some courage and means, and are not such honest and timid people.
"This matter is not your personal business. Let's not take the responsibility on ourselves." Fu Zhaoning leaned over and whispered to Xiao Lanyuan.
"Then sacrifice my father-in-law?" Xiao Lanyuan also imitated her and spoke in a low voice.
The two of them temporarily left Prefect You aside.
"Not good either?"
Fu Zhaoning also didn't want Zhu Qianqian to hang around Fu Jinchen. If something really happened to her, she would probably be very angry.
"Then this matter——"
"Don't we still have my senior brother?" Fu Zhaoning winked at him.
Xiao Lanyuan's mind raced, and he immediately understood what Fu Zhaoning meant.
He nodded secretly, then looked at Prefect You.
Prefect You was feeling very anxious and regretted telling this story.
"Master You should know that we don't want these herbs for personal gain, but for the patients in Zhecheng. After all, this matter has more to do with you. If the infectious disease in Zhecheng cannot be suppressed and breaks out, you may not only lose your official hat, but also your head."
Prefect You felt a little cold in his heart and bowed.
"I know that the prince and princess have both been kind to me."
"In that case, are you still going to watch the Zhu family use these medicinal herbs to threaten the princess?"
"I dare not." Prefect You said quickly, "I came back to report this matter, in fact, just to ask Master Fu to deal with it for a few days, as a temporary measure. Of course, I will also remember Master Fu's kindness-"
"Master You, go back and tell Miss Zhu that we have to think about it. Besides, it is indeed inconvenient for her to come over these days. There are many infectious patients here, as you know."
Fu Zhaoning said, "So let her stay in your house to recover and get rid of the remaining poison. We will give her a reply after we have considered it. Anyway, we will not leave for the time being."
"yes."
Prefect You didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly retreated.
After he left, Xiao Lanyuan pinched the tip of Fu Zhaoning's nose. "I like the way you come up with bad ideas."
