Chapter 381 Pharmaceuticals
Li Congxiao saw the ice box on the table and asked her, "Why is it still here? This medicine can't be left for too long. It must be made into ointment as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the effect."
Xia Ruwan pressed his arm, lowered her eyes and said, "Yinyin just mentioned a worrying issue."
She conveyed to him what Qin Huiyin had said.
"Although Lord Tang is worried, his worries are not groundless. I don't want you to offend those officials who are not easy to deal with because of this herbal medicine."
"I thought it was something else, but it's because of this." Li Congxiao looked at her with a smile, "Don't worry, I spent some money to keep it secret before I left. The auction house will keep its mouth shut and won't tell anyone who bought the herbs. As long as no one knows, there will be no trouble."
"real?"
"Really." Li Congxiao pinched her cheek, "Miss Xia, you are not the kind of shy person. Why do you act like a frightened little mouse when you enter the capital?"
"The capital is a wealthy city. Those powerful people can make us disappear with just a flick of their fingers. Of course, we have to be careful."
"That's not so exaggerated. You just need to get your face healed and take care of your Xia family's business. Leave the rest to me."
The attendant came in and saw the two people behaving intimately, so he didn't dare to go closer and could only stand at the door.
"I have found some information, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"Speak." Li Congxiao said calmly.
"The reason why the Xia family's goods were seized by the Maritime Customs was because of the eldest lady's manipulation. The eldest lady bribed the people of the Maritime Customs, so..."
"Li Jingyan is also coming to the capital?" Xia Ruwan frowned.
"The eldest lady is here, but she didn't make it public. She entered the capital as the concubine of Prince Ning."
Xia Ruwan looked at Li Congxiao in surprise: "Your mentally ill sister became the concubine of Prince Ning?"
Li Congxiao pressed his eyebrows and said, "Don't say you are surprised. I am also quite surprised. No one told me about this. I am afraid that even the Li family doesn't know about it."
Even if they knew, they would not object. The Li family was just an ordinary merchant family, and their eldest daughter would be very happy to be able to marry a rich man like the Ning County Prince.
In addition, Li Jingyan, as the heir of the Li family, is in trouble again as he has relied on such a powerful person.
Li Jingyan just didn't want him to have an easy life.
"It seems I have no choice but to give up this batch of goods."
"Who said that?" Li Congxiao said with a smile, "Your good sister's brother is the Chief Censor, who has the power to supervise officials. He is a new official and needs achievements. Isn't this an achievement that comes right to his door?"
"You are right, but if this matter troubles Lord Tang, will it implicate Lord Tang?" Xia Ruwan was familiar with other people in the Tang family, but not Lord Tang, so she really didn't know how to bring up the subject.
"If you don't ask him, how do you know this is trouble and not an opportunity?" Li Congxiao said, "I'm well now and can get out of bed. Leave this to me. After all, it's not convenient for you, an unmarried woman, to go to the Tang family alone. His sister is more convenient, but you can't ask your good sister to come forward for everything. How will Lord Tang think of your sisterly love?"
"You should keep him. I will go to Lord Tang in person. This is my Xia family's business. There is no reason for you, a sickly person, to run around for me. So what if I'm a woman? I've been doing business for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard people say that I'm inconvenient. When the people of the Tang family knew me, I was a woman doing business, and I took the lead in everything myself." After Xia Ruwan finished speaking, she said to her followers, "Keep an eye on your young master. If he doesn't listen, break his legs and make him stay in bed."
Follower: “…”
Li Congxiao laughed: "How fierce!"
After Xia Ruwan left, the attendant said to Li Congxiao: "Master, do you really have to like this? Otherwise... this is good, so that you can have the demeanor of a mistress of a house."
When the follower saw Li Congxiao's dangerous look, he immediately changed his words.
"Go and find out what Li Jingyan has done recently."
"Yes." Li Congxiao took the sachet left by Xia Ruwan and sniffed it, saying lightly: "Li Jingyan hooked up with Prince Ning. She is indeed capable and a bit shameless. However, the identity of a concubine is a kind of bondage. Prince Ning has a wife and even other concubines. If a concubine died in the backyard, few people would care."
Xia Ruwan stepped into the Tang family again.
When the servants of the Tang family saw her, they treated her as their own master. Not only would they not stop her, they would also bow and greet her.
"I want to see Master Tang."
"Miss Xia wants to see Lord Tang, not the Second Young Master? The Second Young Master just returned home, and the eldest lady asked me to go and talk to you!"
"The Second Young Master is also looking for someone. Give him this ice box and he'll know what's going on. Also, help me pass on the message that I want to see Lord Tang."
The servant asked another servant to go in and pass the message. He took the ice box that Xia Ruwan gave him and went to find Tang Yi with a smile.
The servant met Qin Huiyin halfway.
When Qin Huiyin saw the ice box in his hand, she knew what was going on. She took the ice box and went to Tang Yixiao's courtyard in person.
Qin Huiyin seldom stepped into Tang Yixiao's courtyard. On weekdays, the sisters would gather outside either in the teahouse, Tingyu Pavilion, or in the pavilion.
As soon as I stepped into the gate, I saw many small animals in the yard. Tang Yi was holding a puppy, and the puppy was injured, and he was bandaging its wound.
Tang Yi's attendant came forward with a smile and said to Qin Huiyin, "The Second Young Master has picked up another stray dog. This dog is covered with lice, and it is very troublesome to take care of it. Miss, please don't get too close to the Second Young Master. He hasn't cleaned up his body yet. Be careful that those bugs don't jump onto you."
"Miss, you have to stay away from it. Lice are very troublesome." Zhilan said from the side.
"Okay, it's not that exaggerated." Qin Huiyin said, calling Tang Yixiao, "Little brother, I'm busy!"
Tang Yi smiled and bandaged the puppy, then said to Qin Huiyin, "They are right, Second Sister, don't get too close to me. What do you want from me?"
"Nuo, I have found the herbs that Wan'er needs. I need you to prepare the medicine for her."
"I'll be matched tonight." Tang Yi said with a smile, "Sister Wan'er is also lucky."
"Of course she is lucky. After all, good things come to good people!" Qin Huiyin said, "This is the first time I step into your yard. Look, your yard is almost turning into a pet hospital. It's not a good idea to keep them roaming around like this. What if they run around and scare others? You should make an area in the back for them to use. Don't let them run around the yard. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to manage, but there will also be feces everywhere."
"Sister is right." Tang Yi smiled and wiped the stains on his hands. He took the ice box and opened it. The herbs inside exuded a rich aroma. "I'll make it tonight."
