Su Yunling approached the edge of the cliff and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xuan Mo had fallen.

This cliff is bottomless and there is no chance of survival for an ordinary person falling down.

Even if this national teacher is not an ordinary person, he is still a human being of flesh and blood after all. She doesn't believe that he will not die.

After getting rid of Xuan Mo, when Su Yunling was about to go back to find other people, she happened to find a large area of ​​medicinal herbs that she needed.

Fortunately, the others were only drugged and it was not fatal. After Su Yunling stimulated the Ren Zhong acupoint with a silver needle, the team woke up one after another.

Looking at their confused eyes, Su Yunling simply explained that they were infected by miasma, but it was not serious.

A team of people immediately started to collect herbs. There is strength in numbers. In about two hours, almost everyone returned with a full load.

But this was mainly due to Su Yunling's accurate "predictive ability". She could always lead them to find large areas of herbs without wasting time wandering around in the mountains, so the efficiency was naturally relatively improved.

Of course, Su Yunling was able to know where the herbs he needed were in the mountains not entirely by luck, but through the reminders of other animals.

A team of people went down the mountain and returned to the city overnight to quickly process the medicine and then make medicine to save lives.

After working day and night, the medicine that was originally out of stock was finally restored to supply.

Su Yunling hardly slept for the past two days because she needed to supervise the preparation of the new medicine.

These things that concern human life cannot be taken lightly.

After finally having medicine to sell, she prepared to return to the county lady's mansion and have a good sleep.

But just as he left the pharmacy, he ran into an enemy he hadn't seen for a long time.

It’s Xiao Nanchuan.

Xiao Nanchuan had only been away from the capital for a few days, and when he came back he heard that Su Yunling had been married to Xiao Jichen, Su Zhaohong had been dismissed from office, and Su Yueying had gone outside the city to live and eat with the refugees.

Su Yunling single-handedly controlled the epidemic in the city, and the people accepted Baicaotang again.

As soon as he returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, he learned that his mother, Princess Rui, had also suffered a relapse of the epidemic, but she was too proud to let anyone come to Baicaotang to buy medicine.

She was still fantasizing that the Imperial Master would soon come up with a way to treat the epidemic, but unexpectedly the Imperial Master disappeared.

In desperation, Xiao Nanchuan decided to come to Baicaotang in person.

Su Yunling's eyes only swept across his face lightly, then she retracted them and passed him by.

Xiao Nanchuan called her out of instinct: "Hemin County Lady."

Su Yunling stopped and turned slightly to look at him, her face calm and distant, "If Prince Rui wants to buy medicine, just go in and find the waiter. Goodbye..."

"I think..." As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Yunling had already turned and left.

It was not until this moment that he clearly realized that all her abnormal behavior towards him was not a playful trick, but... she really wanted to leave him.

It was really strange. She was just Su Yueying's shadow. Why did he still feel sad when he was sure that she had completely let him go?

I clearly suspected she was a disaster a few days ago and wanted to stay away from her, but why is there this inexplicable unwillingness now?

"Are you really going to marry Xiao Junyang?" He didn't know why, but he spoke faster than he thought and asked loudly.

Su Yunling stood beside the carriage and was about to step onto the sedan chair, "What else? Prince Junyang is much more normal than someone else."

Xiao Nanchuan listened to the obvious sarcasm in her tone and felt suffocated.

Of course he knew what Emperor Jing Zhao was planning to do when he gave her to Xiao Jichen in marriage, but he couldn't say it clearly. He just said angrily, "You will regret it."

"Then we'll see! Whoever regrets it will know..."

Early the next morning——

Su Yunling slept until dawn. When Linglan opened the window, she saw a pair of magpies playing on the magnolia tree in the yard.

She rolled up Su Yunling's bed curtain and hooked it with the curtain hook. Su Yunling stretched and sat up dizzy.

The master and servant chatted while combing each other's hair.

"Miss, I have asked someone to find out about your mother-in-law, Princess Su, these past two days. I heard that she is not a daughter of a noble family, but the daughter of the head of the escort agency."

"Why are you suddenly concerned about this?" Su Yunling fixed her bun and picked out a small gold and jade comb from her makeup box to fix the bun on the side.

"I'm afraid that you will be made difficult by your mother-in-law after you get married! I heard that the Princess of Prince Su has a hot temper and loves to wield swords and guns. The concubines in the Prince Su's backyard have all been subdued by her."

Su Yunling smiled heartlessly, "Don't worry about me, you are also a dowry, and I, the young lady, will at most be troubled, but you may be in danger."

"Miss, don't scare me." Lily of the Valley had already started trembling.

Su Yunling changed her playful attitude and said seriously: "Linglan, I will give you your indenture before I get married. You can choose to go with me, or I will give you money to live comfortably for the rest of your life. What do you think..."

"Miss, please don't chase me away!" Linglan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she expressed her attitude actively, "Wherever Miss goes, I will go. Miss is the only one in the world who treats me well. Even if I have to go through hardships, I will accompany Miss..."

"County Lady, Prince Su has sent someone to deliver the betrothal gifts..." The happy voice of Mrs. Qian was heard outside the door.

When Su Yunling arrived at the front hall, he saw that the entire hall and the front yard were filled with boxes of various sizes.

Some people are even carrying...

Su Yunling looked at the long list of betrothal gifts, which included not only gold, silver, pearls, jade, agate, etc., but also items necessary for food, clothing, shelter, and shelter.

"Miss, I think the prince seems to understand your taste very well." Linglan covered her mouth and giggled.

Su Yunling looked at the dazzling array of food boxes and pastries and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What's more, they were all her favorites.

"Look, County Lady, these two wild geese are still alive!" Mrs. Qian pointed at the pair of wild geese tied with red silk and was genuinely happy for her young lady.

This wild goose represents loyalty to love, and also shows how much Xiao Jichen values ​​his marriage with Su Yunling.

Su Yunling asked Mrs. Qian to cooperate with Xiao Jichen's people to count the betrothal gifts and carry them into the treasury. Then she heard Mrs. Qian say that when the betrothal gift team passed by the former minister's mansion, Su Zhaohong and his sons were standing in front of the door, waiting for their family property to be confiscated.

When Su Zhaohong learned that this lavish betrothal gift was given by the Prince Su's Mansion to Su Yunling, his face was first embarrassed, and then filled with regret.

When Su Zhaohong's two concubines saw their house being emptied, one of them was so angry that she ran away on the spot, while the other concubine, Meng, had to stay with him because she had a daughter and was also old.

The Minister's Mansion has now become an empty shell, with servants running away or selling their belongings. The Su family father and sons live on the salary of Su Jingyi, the director of the Imperial College.

How could his meager salary possibly support the entire family's expenses?

The noblemen who were used to a life with hordes of servants and everything provided for them, now have no one to serve them and have to do everything by themselves. How can they adapt to this?

Otherwise, why is it said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality?

But it would be fine if they just lived in poverty. Su Yunling knew that their bad luck would never end there.

On the contrary, this is just the beginning.
