Gu Xinran thought about it and looked at his small body. It seemed inappropriate to take him to prison at this age.
I could only avoid the important point and said, "I'm going to see Doctor Zhang in the middle hall. If you want to come, just follow me."
Xuanxuan stared at his sister for a few breaths before he said unwillingly, "Then I'll stay here to guard Mom."
He knew that his sister understood where he wanted to go, but he was small and incompetent, so he couldn't help her even if she went there. He really hoped he could grow up quickly.
Yesterday, when his grandfather took him to the Dou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to his master, the master praised him for his talent of being the top scholar and told him that he must study hard and strive to become a talent as soon as possible.
Gu Xinran patted his little head and praised: "Xuanxuan is so good."
He touched Tingting's little chubby face again, said something to grandma, and went to the front yard.
Gu Xinran came to the middle hall, and the two old men were chatting lively.
When Doctor Zhang saw her come in, he hurriedly presented her with the gift he had brought, a century-old ginseng of excellent quality.
He smiled and said, "Little Master, I came here today to wish you a happy new year. May I ask if our plan to cultivate penicillin together is still valid?"
Gu Xinran took the ginseng and looked at it carefully. It was really a good thing! Although she had no shortage of century-old ginseng, who would complain about having too much of a good thing? She accepted it with great joy, which also made Doctor Zhang feel more at ease.
Of course, once she makes a decision, it is set in stone and she will never go back on her word.
She replied seriously, "Doctor Zhang, you're so polite! Don't worry about the penicillin. I'll keep my word. How about we tentatively start on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year? Oh, no, no, the temperature is too low now, which is not conducive to cultivation."
If you want to start right away, you need a quiet house with floor heating, plenty of oranges as a culture source, and some rapeseed oil as an extraction agent.
Although Doctor Zhang didn't understand what "culture source and extractant" meant, he was in a good mood after getting the accurate information and couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
He said excitedly, "I'll prepare the right house and the orange and vegetable oil. I'll let Master know when I'm done."
Gu Xinran was happy. Someone was taking care of the chores, and she was happy to have some free time. "Okay, it's settled. Oh, this is for you. It's rude not to reciprocate. I'll also take this opportunity to wish you a happy new year."
As Gu Xinran spoke, he took out a bottle of ordinary ginseng and antler pills and handed it to Doctor Zhang.
He took it with both hands, looked at it and smelled it, and was overjoyed. Finally, he could have the miracle medicine.
"Thank you, little master. I got a great deal by exchanging one ginseng root for a bottle of miraculous medicine. Haha~"
Gu Xinran smiled and shook her head. "You're welcome. I have something to do. I'll excuse myself first. Please chat with my grandfather for a while."
Doctor Zhang held the bottle and nodded happily, "You are busy, you are busy."
Gu Xinran said hello to her grandfather and went to the gate with Xiaomei.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he met Duan Yunchi who was returning on horseback. On the horseback was a shivering old doctor carrying a medicine box.
He said with a guilty look on his face, "Ranran, how is Auntie? Doctor Zhang went out to visit a friend and couldn't find her. This Doctor Li is quite capable. Let him go and see Auntie."
After saying this, he pulled the old doctor off the horse, not caring that his face was pale and his legs were trembling, and dragged him towards the mansion.
Gu Xinran looked at the old doctor, feeling nervous, and quickly stopped him: "Stop! If you keep doing this, the old doctor won't have to treat other patients, and he'll have to find a doctor first. Doctor Zhang is visiting my friend at my house, and I've asked him to take my mother's pulse. He's fine, so let him go."
When Duan Yunchi heard that his aunt was fine, his tense nerves relaxed. He nodded and let go, allowing Doctor Li to escape from his clutches.
Without Duan Yunchi's support, Doctor Li's trembling legs made it difficult for him to stand steadily, and he sat down on the ground.
She was so angry that she yelled, "You are so rude, young master! I have seen people robbing brides, but I have never seen people robbing doctors. You have shaken my old bones all the way here~"
Duan Yunchi touched his nose embarrassedly and apologized repeatedly: "Doctor Li, I am really too worried about the patient at home. I'm sorry, I will send a car to take you home right away."
After saying this, he ordered Lai Fu, who had just come out to drive the carriage to send the person away. He then took out five taels of silver and stuffed it into the old doctor's hand as a consultation fee. Only then did the old doctor stop complaining.
Gu Xinran knew that he was so reckless because he was worried about his mother's illness, but she still gave him a cold look and urged Xiaomei to leave quickly.
Her heart flew to the prison, and she wished she could chop Li into pieces right now.
When Duan Yunchi saw his cousin was about to leave the house, he quickly jumped on his horse and followed her.
She said embarrassedly: "Ranran, wherever you are going, it will be safer with me."
"Then come with me. Let's go to the prison and help Magistrate Zhao try the prisoners."
"Okay, this is what I should do."
Duan Yunchi rode beside the carriage, thinking, if his cousin gets angry and wants to kill Li's mother and daughter, should he stop her? Or stop her... Well, he'll just have to wait and see.
Not long after, the two arrived at the study of the government office. Prefect Zhao received them warmly, especially Gu Xinran.
I first asked about Gu's mother's condition, and only breathed a sigh of relief after learning that she was not seriously ill.
After the accident, he was always worried. If something happened to the lost and recovered daughter of the Prince of Zhennan due to his fault, not to mention the Tyrannosaurus of the Prince of Zhennan, a general alone could take his life.
What's more, there was the King of Qi watching behind the scenes, and it was said that she was his adopted aunt. He was so angry that he ordered the jailers to whip them and interrogate them again.
After the greetings, Gu Xinran asked politely, "Haven't you figured out where the hidden item is?"
Prefect Zhao shook his head. "Li demanded her daughter's release before she revealed the secret. Otherwise, she would be dead anyway. She would never let us off easy."
"Let's go to the prison. If she really knows, I have a way to make her tell it."
Knowing that Miss Gu was a capable person, Magistrate Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, just keep her alive until you get the answer."
Duan Yunchi didn't want his cousin to get his hands dirty, so he negotiated, "If you want to torture me, let me or the jailer do it."
Gu Xinran nodded in agreement.
Once again, accompanied by Prefect Zhao, the two came to the cell where Li's mother and daughter were imprisoned.
After only two hours of not seeing each other, the two people's conditions were very different. Li was beaten to death by Duan Yunchi and lay on a dirty pile of straw.
Sun Ziyan stood by with a blank look in her eyes, her body covered in blood, and she had no desire to live.
The jailer opened the cell door and the group entered one by one.
Gu Xinran looked down at the two of them, a murderous aura emanating from her. She spoke coldly to Li Shiyin, saying, "You vicious woman, my mother has recovered her memory and remembered all the harm you've done to her. A vicious woman like you shouldn't be alive in this world."
Li forced herself to sit up, letting out a strange laugh. "She should have died eighteen years ago! No, she should have died even earlier. Without her, Brother Jing from the Marquis of Wu'an would definitely have married me, and I wouldn't have ended up in this miserable situation today."
