"Don't forget what?"
Ye Jintang narrowed her eyes slightly. Sometimes she really didn't know where Su Xuerou got her confidence from, thinking that she was easy to get along with and trying to use Su He to deal with her.
"Su Xuerou, you need to understand that I have never been your sister."
When Su Xuerou met Ye Jintang's eyes, she felt a shiver run through her body and a sudden sense of fear. She had a feeling that if she continued to entangle herself with Ye Jintang, the consequences would be far more terrible than those with Su He.
"Miss, this second madam is acting rather strangely."
Thinking about what had just happened, Green Lotus felt puzzled. How could she have thought that her young mistress would come to Su He's rescue?
"This is what they call grasping at straws when you're desperate."
"Go ahead and get busy, I'm going to rest for a while."
So much has happened lately, she needs to sort it all out.
Upon entering the room, Ye Jintang's consciousness entered the space. If the Emperor's giving her the token was related to Ye Ling, then was the other party's purpose really just to let her find out the person behind it all?
As for Ye Ling's attitude, Ye Jintang lowered her eyes, as if she had overlooked something during this time.
Yes! From the moment she first met Ye Ling, he was able to accurately call her name, and even during their subsequent cooperation, Ye Ling wasn't too surprised. This was really strange, and it even gave her the feeling that he seemed to have anticipated it.
She couldn't believe that a regent in such a high position would suddenly have such a different attitude.
Not to mention...
Ye Jintang sighed softly, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind. It seemed that she had indeed been misled by Ye Ling's words.
The priority right now is to resolve the matter of the Marquis's residence. Ye He's suspicions have not yet been cleared, and even though she has some evidence, it is far from enough to confront those people.
Everything still needs to be considered carefully. As for the Soul-Devouring Powder that Ye Ling was afflicted with, although it can currently be suppressed by the pills she has refined.
However, over time, these effects may become less effective, and she needs to find medicinal herbs as soon as possible to completely detoxify Ye Ling's body.
In the days that followed, perhaps because of Su He's appearance, Su Xue Rou became much more well-behaved, and soon after, news spread from the Minister's residence that Minister Su's illegitimate daughter was Jiang Mu Bai's concubine.
For a time, the Minister's Mansion and the Marquis's Mansion became hot topics of discussion among the common people.
Many people also lamented Ye Jintang's hardships, having served her mother-in-law diligently for two years, only to be treated this way after her husband's triumphant return.
These words were insignificant to Ye Jintang, but Su Xuerou was clearly not able to sit still.
"Second Madam, please calm down. This is not the time to act impulsively."
Seeing that Su Xuerou was throwing things around after returning to the courtyard, the maidservant beside her hurriedly tried to stop her.
"Now everyone knows that I am an illegitimate child, but Ye Jintang, on the contrary, is completely unaffected."
Just thinking about what Ye Jintang said in front of Su He that day, Su Xuerou wished she could tear that bitch Ye Jintang to pieces.
"Second Madam, please calm down. The Master has already addressed these rumors, so they should subside soon. As for your matter..."
The maid also felt puzzled. "Now that Madam has the Huishengtang business, and the Marquis and the Old Madam's attitudes are unclear, it is indeed not easy to deal with them. If something happens to Huishengtang, perhaps the situation will be different."
"Second Madam, I remember that when that Taoist priest gave you the pills to treat the Old Madam, he also included some other things. Could you perhaps..."
Upon hearing this, Su Xuerou calmed down.
"You've reminded me."
Su Xuerou clenched her fists and said fiercely, "Isn't Ye Jintang only so presumptuous because she relies on Huishengtang? Since this bitch is blocking my way, then don't blame me for making Huishengtang go out of business."
However, Ye Jintang's abilities have been truly unpredictable lately, and relying solely on himself, he would likely have little chance of winning.
Su Xuerou pondered for a moment, then said to the maid, "Go back to the Minister's residence later and give this to my father for me."
Ultimately, no matter how different Ye Jintang is, Ye He is dead and has no one to rely on, but she is different. Now she still has the Minister's Mansion.
Even if she's just an illegitimate child, she's still much better off than Ye Jintang.
...
Resurrection Hall.
As soon as the door opened that day, a burly man stormed in aggressively.
"Shopkeeper, call out the shopkeeper here!"
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Zheng hurried out and looked in the direction of the burly man with a puzzled expression.
"Brave warrior, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
"See for yourselves, did you write this prescription?"
"And the amount of medicinal herbs is completely wrong. I came here because I heard that the doctors at your Huishengtang clinic were very skilled, but now you dare to cut corners!"
The burly man's shout instantly attracted a lot of people.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Zheng quickly tried to calm the man down.
“Brave warrior, please calm down. Huishengtang will definitely investigate the matter of the prescription and medicinal materials thoroughly. If the matter is indeed related to us, we will not refuse to help.”
The burly man snorted coldly when he heard Zhou Zheng say that.
"That would be best!"
"If you're going to investigate, then investigate thoroughly. If I don't get an answer today, I'm not leaving."
Zhou Zheng took the prescription from the burly man, his brow furrowing slightly. The dosage was indeed problematic, and the handwriting…
Zhou Zheng hurriedly had the other two doctors summoned.
"Manager Zhou, what happened?"
A doctor approached Zhou Zheng and asked him a question.
Seeing that only one person had come, Zhou Zheng was puzzled. "Doctor Jiang, where is Madam Wang?"
"Dr. Wang?"
“I remember he said a few days ago that something happened at home and I haven’t seen him for several days.”
Zhou Zheng frowned, a vague unease creeping in. "Why didn't I know about this?"
When Zhou Zheng asked him this question, the man called Doctor Jiang suddenly felt a little guilty.
"It was Dr. Wang who said he was worried something might go wrong, so he asked me to take over for now. I originally thought it would only be for a day or two, and since Dr. Wang seemed really anxious at the time, I agreed."
"Manager Zhou, what exactly happened?"
Seeing that Zhou Zheng's expression was not right, Doctor Jiang quickly asked.
"Take a look for yourself, is this Dr. Wang's handwriting?"
Zhou Zheng handed over the prescription.
Dr. Jiang took it and was surprised when he saw the contents. "That's right, it is indeed Dr. Wang's handwriting, but the weight of the medicinal herbs is wrong."
"Logically speaking, Dr. Wang shouldn't have made such a mistake."
Who was Xiao Si, who was in charge of dispensing the medicine at that time?
After Dr. Jiang mentioned it, Zhou Zheng remembered that he hadn't been at Huishengtang that day.
The work of dispensing medicine was done by other people in the hall.
