Ling Xiang personally went out to receive them and signaled Lian Cailiang to give Huang Zhiyong a bag of spirit stones:
"Today, the Prince of Qin came to visit his future princess and, on a whim, he sparred with a master from my palace before leaving, accidentally damaging the buildings of the Marquis of Zhenguo's residence. The Marquis of Zhenguo's residence is currently discussing the specific compensation matters with the Prince of Qin's residence. This is a small token of my appreciation for the trouble I've incurred. Ling Xiang will treat you all to tea."
"Miss Ling, you are too polite. I am glad that nothing happened in the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion. We can go back and report back." Huang Zhiyong accepted the spirit stone and recorded Ling Xiang's answer. He was quite polite to Ling Xiang, the future Princess of Qin.
"By the way, Miss Ling, do you need any help with the renovations at your house?"
Ling Xiang nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Captain Huang. If I need anything, Ling Xiang will come and ask for your help in person."
"Okay, let's pack up." Huang Zhiyong led the team away.
As soon as the people from the city defense camp left, Yuan Zhengqing came to visit Ling Xiang in disguise.
In the living room of Xiangyuan, Yuan Zhengqing was slightly surprised to see Ling Xiang was able to move normally. He looked at Ling Xiang's back and asked, "Miss Ling, are you okay?"
"Okay." Ling Xiang nodded and bowed earnestly to Yuan Zhengqing: "I haven't had time to thank you, Master Yuan yet."
Yuan Zhengqing naturally knew what Ling Xiang was thanking her for. Yuan Zhengqing smiled knowingly at the girl's intelligence:
"I heard Miss Ling opened a pharmacy. The pills they sell are much more effective than those in other pharmacies, and the prices are in line with the market price. Business is so good that they sell out as soon as they open. My people are often injured, and I've been there several times but haven't been able to buy anything. I wonder if Miss Ling could do me a favor and let me buy some pills as a backup?"
It was obvious that Yuan Zhengqing wanted to buy Ling Xiang's pills on the surface, but in fact he wanted Ling Xiang to repay the favor so that she wouldn't always think about it.
"I was negligent. Mr. Yuan patronized my shop. How could I let him come in vain?" Ling Xiang took out the prepared storage bag and a black jade token.
"I had originally planned to send it to Lord Yuan in a few days, but since Lord Yuan is here today, I can save myself a trip. The storage bag contains a thank-you gift. This jade token can be used to purchase any item at any store in the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion with a 20% discount."
Yuan Zhengqing was a man of integrity. Asking Ling Xiang for a favor was already the lowest point he could reach. He would never take Ling Xiang's things for free. "I'll take this jade token. As for these medicines, please tell me the price, Miss Ling. I'll buy them all."
Ling Xiang smiled and said, "Master Yuan, are you afraid that I might bribe you?"
"Ahem..." Yuan Zhengqing covered his lips and coughed softly, "Ms. Ling doesn't seem like someone who would bribe."
Ling Xiang jokingly said, "To be honest, before Lord Yuan came, I had just bribed the people in the city defense camp."
Ling Xiang's bluntness made Yuan Zhengqing stunned for a moment, then he laughed:
"Miss Ling is such a joke. I didn't bring many spirit stones with me today. I'll return to the storage bag, calculate the market price, prepare the spirit stones, and then send them to Miss Ling."
Ling Xiang made an eight gesture and said, "20% off, VIP price."
Yuan Zhengqing didn't refuse: "Okay. I have an idea. From now on, all the herbs and pills needed by Shuntian Prefecture will be purchased from Miss Ling. What do you think, Miss Ling?"
As soon as the pharmacy of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion was closed, Yuan Zhengqing brought a big business to the door. Ling Xiang was not stupid. She knew that Yuan Zhengqing wanted to help her, and he did it under the banner of asking her to help him so that she would not have any psychological burden.
From this perspective, Yuan Zhengqing is a person worth making close friends with.
"Very good!" Ling Xiang was very touched and naturally would not refuse. She moved closer to Yuan Zhengqing and asked softly, "Do you want the pill?"
Yuan Zhengqing was surprised and lowered his voice, asking carefully, "Do you have a source of elixirs?"
Ling Xiang nodded solemnly: "Please keep it a secret, Master Yuan."
Yuan Zhengqing didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. You know, elixirs are something that is in short supply, and it is not easy to buy them.
There was absolutely no reason for him to refuse: "I want as much as you have."
Ling Xiang knew that other people sold pills one by one, but her success rate in refining pills was almost 100%. She had a lot of pills in her hands, so of course she couldn't sell them all to Yuan Zhengqing.
However, she didn't need to explain these things. She nodded and said, "Okay, when I get the elixir in the future, I will send it to you as soon as possible. As long as it is a elixir that Master Yuan can use, I will definitely sell it to you."
"good."
"I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
After talking about these pleasant things, the most important thing cannot be left out.
Yuan Zhengqing said sternly, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, I hope I didn't embarrass you."
Ling Xiang was not surprised at all that Yuan Zhengqing received the news.
She didn't answer directly, but said playfully, "Thank you, Lord Yuan, for your concern. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin embarrasses me and I can't handle it myself, I will report to Shuntian Prefecture immediately and ask for Lord Yuan's protection."
"Okay, this government will definitely take care of it for you." Yuan Zhengqing really hoped that Ling Xiang still had a case in Shuntian Prefecture. In this way, he could not only send people to protect her at any time, but also have a very legitimate reason to see her.
This time, if Ling Xiang had not withdrawn the lawsuit, he would have had to withdraw the people arranged to protect her, and the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion would not have been destroyed like this.
The only person in the entire capital who dared to take on the Qin King's case was probably Yuan Zhengqing. Ling Xiang bowed and said, "Thank you in advance, Ling Xiang."
Yuan Zhengqing took out a box and said pointedly, "This is the contract you signed with Ling Chengfu. It's of no use now, so I'm returning it to you. Miss Ling, please take good care of it."
Yuan Zhengqing emphasized the words "handle it properly", and I believe Ling Xiang was smart enough to hear it.
After saying that, Ling Chengfu said goodbye and left.
Ling Xiang opened the box, which contained all the contracts he had signed with Ling Chengfu.
Out of caution, she opened one copy and found words inside. She thought it was the one that Uncle Lian had forged. However, when she took out another copy and looked at it, she found words inside as well!
She opened all the deeds and found that they all had words on them!
She compared each one carefully, read them over and over again, and finally understood why Yuan Zhengqing had just emphasized that he should handle it properly!
The fake one made by Uncle Lian was very close to the original, but there was only one word difference!
Uncle Lian wrote: "Until he reaches adulthood, all the properties of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion will be returned intact to Ling Xiang."
The original version reads: "Until he reaches adulthood, all the properties of the Zhenguo Marquisate will be returned intact to Ling Xiang."
Uncle Lian had a very good memory and wrote down all the contents of the contract, which was enough to show his deep love for Ling Xiang.
But he wrote an extra word "di", which is irrelevant to the content of the deed.
A small mistake can lead to a big mistake.
Yuan Zhengqing must have found a way to restore the deed and discovered that Lian Cailiang had forged it.
But he didn't reveal it.
Even if all this is revealed now, it will not change Ling Chengfu's ending, but it will bring trouble to Lian Cailiang!
The laws of the Dajing Empire are strict. Forging deeds and deceiving the government is as serious as committing perjury! You will be sentenced to prison!
