After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Lin Shuning's smile froze on his face.

She now didn't have even a tael of silver on her body. Even the money in Lian'er's purse had just been exchanged by her for poison needles. Now it could be said that she was truly penniless.

What's more, the dream in which she was haunted by Jiang Yu last night might have been a hint from God to her.

She now avoids Jiang Yu whenever possible.

Lin Shuning cleared his throat and sneered, "Your Highness, Prince Rui, what you said is wrong. It is your duty as a prince to eliminate violence and protect the people. So I think you don't need to give me this meal. As long as I express my sincere gratitude, it will be enough. Your Highness, Prince Rui, what do you think?"

Her words raised the level of consideration. They would not offend Jiang Yu, but they could also reject him tactfully.

Lin Shuning silently gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

Jiang Yu's eyes dimmed, and he smiled faintly: "It was my fault for not considering it carefully."

"In that case, I'll leave first."

Lin Shuning took the opportunity to slip away, pulling Lian'er with him and leaving the crowd without looking back.

Chen Zhao looked at her from behind and said suspiciously, "Why does the Third Miss change her attitude like turning the pages of a book? My Lord, is this what His Royal Highness Prince Rong meant by playing hard to get?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes deepened.

Dreaming about him?

Could it be that his frivolous seventh brother really didn't lie to him?

Jiang Yu's lips curled up slightly. No, looking at the way Lin Shuning slipped away just now, it was obvious that she felt that getting close to him would bring danger to herself, so she refused. It was impossible that she had a good impression of him.

As for this dream, I'm afraid it's a nightmare.

but……

He didn't seem to be disgusted by the fact that he appeared in Lin Shuning's dream, and he even felt inexplicably happy.

On the other side, Lin Shuning took Lian'er to the clinic. When they arrived at the door, they found that it was deserted again today.

Several servants were sitting together dejectedly. When they saw her come in, they stood up quickly and said respectfully, "Manager Lin, you are here."

Lin Shuning nodded.

Xiao Liuzi stepped forward and said indignantly: "Those clinics have learned from us and opened free clinics. Our clinic is now empty."

"It's okay," Lin Shuning soothed softly, his eyes falling on the herbs in Lian'er's hand, "I went to Jishidiang today and bought ten taels of herbs. Come with me to see if there is any problem with these herbs and why they are sold so cheaply."

Lian'er gently opened the paper wrapping the medicine, and an extremely strong medicinal fragrance immediately hit her face, making Lin Shuning and others wrinkle their noses.

The most common medicinal materials are contained in it, including almonds, talcum powder, chrysanthemum, poria cocos, etc.

Lin Shuning picked up the almonds and crushed them with her fingers. Crumbs immediately fell off the dry surface of the almonds. She couldn't help but frowned: "The quality of this medicinal material is no different from what we sell, but why is the price they sell it for so much lower than ours? Could it be that there is some source of supply that we are not aware of?"

"Impossible. Over the years, all the medicinal materials in the capital have been purchased from nearby villagers. If the price changes, we will know about it." Uncle Zhang said with certainty.

"That's really strange." Lin Shuning's eyes fell on the medicinal materials. She narrowed her eyes, picked up the almonds that had just been crushed, and crushed them thoroughly with force. This time, no crumbs fell off the inside of the almonds, but stuck to her fingers.

Lin Shuning raised his eyes to look at Zhang Bo, his eyes were surprised: "Could it be that this herb was soaked in water and then dried, so it is dry on the outside but not on the inside?"

Zhang Bo was shocked, and quickly reached out to crush the remaining herbs one by one. Without exception, all of them were dry on the outside but wet on the inside.

Lin Shuning now understood completely: "They buy some broken medicinal herbs at a low price, then soak them in water, and after drying, the color will become darker, giving the illusion that the herbs are of good quality. In fact, the inside is damp and easily deteriorates and infests with insects. However, the people basically do not grind them when they buy them home. Even if they do, many people do not know the importance of thoroughly drying the herbs."

"That's right," Zhang Bo nodded solemnly, "What a shameless bunch of people! They can't accept broken herbs at all, not to mention that they've been soaked in water. Wouldn't that mean they've lost all their medicinal properties? If they delay the treatment, it could kill people!"

Liu Zi asked suspiciously, "Why does this medicine have such a strong medicinal smell? Logically speaking, the smell will be reduced if it is soaked in water."

“As long as the surface is dried and placed together with a large amount of truly high-quality medicinal materials, it will be contaminated with flavor. I guess that’s what they did.” Lin Shuning said calmly.

"These bastards! The clinic is for curing illnesses and saving lives, but they actually do such unscrupulous things! Boss, what should we do?" Liuzi slammed the table angrily, and Zhang Bo was so angry that he gritted his teeth and sighed repeatedly.

Lin Shuning pondered for a moment and said, "I have a way to deal with this matter. Don't worry. We can't let these unscrupulous people continue to harm others. Uncle Zhang, give me ten taels of silver that the clinic received yesterday."

Zhang Bo agreed and took out ten taels of silver and handed it to her.

Lin Shuning gave a few more instructions to Zhang Bo and Liuzi, then took Lian'er out the door. He then handed the silver to her and whispered a few words into her ear.

Lian'er nodded and left quickly.

Lin Shuning returned to the Shangshu Mansion. She did not disguise herself today, so it would be better for her to go back early. Otherwise, if she met someone with ulterior motives, they would definitely notice something was wrong when they saw that she had not come out of the clinic for such a long time.

……

At that time, Shangshu Mansion, Nanyuan.

Wang carefully helped Lin Rouan sit in front of the dressing table, and then said softly: "Open your eyes and take a good look to see if your mother has lied to you."

Ever since Lin Rouan's face was disfigured, she has been very resistant to looking in the mirror.

She was always suspicious and no maid would trust her.

Wang had no choice but to apply medicine to her in person every day. Fortunately, this expensive medicine was really effective. In just a few days, Lin Rouan's face looked much better.

Lin Rouan swallowed her saliva. She hadn't looked in the mirror for several days. She was really afraid that when she opened her eyes, she would still see that ugly, unrecognizable face.

"Open your eyes!" Wang urged her.

Lin Rouan clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, opened her eyelids and looked in the mirror. She touched her face in disbelief and murmured, "My face is really getting better. That bitch Lin Shuning didn't hurt me!"

Wang stroked her head and said, "Of course. If that little bitch dares to hurt you again, I will peel off her skin and pull out her tendons, leaving her with a life in vain and a death in vain!"

Lin Rouan looked back, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. She grabbed Wang's hand and said coldly, "Mother, she hurt me like this, I can't swallow this breath. Can you help me think of a way to vent my anger?"
