Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Why do we have to wait for tomorrow? People from the state and county have already been waiting at my house. I just sent Miss Jiang to go with me!"

Qu Yanlin's refreshing voice came from behind. He winked at the guard beside Jiang Lianzhu, and the guard immediately stepped aside.

Qu Yanlin walked up to Jiang Lianzhu and said, "Miss Jiang, I have to ask you to come with me."

"Okay." Jiang Lianzhu responded.

The two went to Qufu one after another. When the people from the prefecture and county saw them, they immediately went inside to report and called out the prefect.

Prefect Yu Juexi, wearing a blue robe, slowly walked out of the house: "Are you Jiang Lianzhu?"

"She is a civilian girl." Jiang Lianzhu replied quietly.

"I heard that you suppressed the plague in the county. If that's the case, I have prepared some rewards for you. Miss Jiang might as well take a look at them in advance."

As Yu Juexi spoke, he asked the person next to him to pass a booklet to Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu opened the folder and glanced at it from beginning to end. First there were some words of praise, and then there were things to be given.

She had no interest in those gold hairpins and silver jewelry, and her eyes fell directly on the last item above - a mansion in the capital.

She paused for a moment on that line of words, with a hint of interest in her eyes: "May I ask, sir, are the things written above true?"

Although he didn't know how much money it would take to buy a mansion in the capital, but he thought it was an amount he couldn't raise, but Yu Juexi wanted to reward him with one.

"This thing has been presented to the Holy Spirit for its purpose, so how could it be falsified?"

Yu Juexi smiled and was not annoyed at all by what Jiang Lianzhu asked him.

He had previously thought that this reward was too much, but after hearing rumors from the capital, it was said that the bandits who had been unable to be exterminated were finally wiped out, and Jiang Lianzhu was also responsible. When he thought about it, the reward in this report The reward is just right.

Jiang Lianzhu nodded slightly, knowing that none of the things written on the book could escape.

It seems that her shop will not only open in the county, but also go directly to the capital.

Thinking about it, the corners of Jiang Lianzhu's mouth curled up slightly: "The daughter of the people has thanked you, sir."

Yu Juexi waved his hand, and then said seriously: "No need to be polite, I also have something to ask for on this trip. I wonder if Miss Jiang can agree."

"I wonder what it is?" Jiang Lianzhu asked.

Yu Juexi asked all the people around him to leave, leaving only Jiang Lianzhu.

He deliberately stepped forward and lowered his voice: "An aunt in my house got a strange disease a few days ago, and even the miracle doctors in the capital couldn't cure it. I heard about Miss Jiang's excellent medical skills, and I thought of you. Are you willing to give it a try?”

Yu Juexi felt a headache when he mentioned this aunt.

He originally thought of simply sending the person to another hospital to fend for himself, but he never thought that the matter would become a big deal and that no one in the city would be unaware of it.

In this way, he could only look for famous doctors everywhere, asking for one who could cure his aunt.

"Strange disease?" Jiang Lianzhu squinted her eyes and paused for a moment, "Can't any of the doctors invited by your Excellency be able to tell what the disease is?"

Yu Juexi shook his head and said frankly: "No, even the famous doctors in the capital are powerless. When I found Miss Jiang this time, I also wanted to treat people like dead horses as living horse doctors. I don't think they can really cure people." Good intentions.”

"I understand, then I will go see that aunt tomorrow." Jiang Lianzhu replied.

Yu Juexi immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Lianzhu's answer. After saying some polite words, Shi Shiran left.

When Qu Yanlin saw Yu Juexi leaving with someone, he walked in from the outside and said, "It's not too early now. How about Miss Jiang staying in my house for the night and waiting for tomorrow to make plans?"

"That means being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Qu Yanlin quickly had someone clean up a private room for Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't get much rest at all these days, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

When Jiang Lianzhu woke up the next morning, people sent by Yu Juexi were already waiting outside the house.

After she hastily packed up, she got into the carriage and went all the way to the villa in the suburbs.

"Girl, my aunt is recuperating in the side yard now. There are two doctors waiting on her. When you go in, please speak softly to avoid being picked on by her."

The maid who helped Jiang Lianzhu get out of the carriage whispered instructions. She was obviously angry at the aunt.

"Okay, I'll note it down." Jiang Lianzhu replied, and then walked all the way into the yard.

In the house, Aunt Xu was sitting on the collapse, and beside her stood two doctors over fifty years old, both of whom did not dare to move.

Seeing Jiang Lianzhu coming, Aunt Xu raised her chin slightly and said, "Are you the new miracle doctor Yu Juexi found for me?"

"I'm Jiang Lianzhu."

"I know you, but my disease cannot be cured by ordinary people. If you feel that you are somewhat sure, then come and have a look."

Aunt Xu responded lazily and stretched out her wrist.

Jiang Lianzhu used a layer of handkerchief to help Aunt Xu feel her pulse. She didn't take her hand back for a long time, and by the end there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"Tsk, I'll just say it, it doesn't tell anything." Aunt Xu seemed to have expected the result, and said calmly, "Don't waste your efforts. Speak clearly to Yu Juexi, and he won't make things difficult for you. What are you?"

"I think Madam is not sick." Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Aunt Xu and calmly expressed her judgment.

Aunt Xu choked and glared at Jiang Lianzhu and said, "What nonsense are you talking about here? If I hadn't gotten sick, would I have bothered to invite all of you here?"

"Whether she is sick or not, my aunt should know best. I am afraid that she is deliberately pretending to be sick to achieve some purpose."

Jiang Lianzhu continued, not even the slightest bit timid because of Aunt Xu's increasingly harsh tone.

But she was curious as to why Aunt Xu pretended to be sick and had so many people surrounding her.

If it was just for fun, then this game was too big.

Aunt Xu pinched her eyebrows, knowing that she might not be able to protect her this time, so she said to the two doctors beside her: "You two, get off first."

After hearing this, the two people left immediately.

"It's true that I'm not sick." Aunt Xu said lightly, confirming what Jiang Lianzhu just said, "But there is a reason for me to do this. Please ask Miss Jiang not to tell Yu Juexi about this matter." .”

"Tsk, aunt, you might as well tell me what the reason is?" Jiang Lianzhu responded.
