I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Just as Song Jin guessed.

While Song Xiu was in bed resting for the pregnancy, she suddenly perked up and asked to eat this and that that night.

Since she didn't have that at home, naturally no one would indulge her.

But Old Mrs. Liu actually had the patience to kill a hen and make chicken soup for Song Xiu.

Song Jin also got a bowl of chicken soup and a big chicken drumstick.

Qin Chi came back before dark, and as soon as he came back, he found that the atmosphere at home was not right.

After asking Song Jin and learning what happened, Qin Chi was stunned for a while, then calmed down again, "Madam, don't get involved in this matter, just let them do whatever they want."

"Well, I won't get involved."

If Song Jin wanted to get involved today, he wouldn't just stand there and watch the show.

Qin Chi figured it out, "From today's situation, Song Xiu's two previous faintings might have been related to her pregnancy. I guess it was because she was still young at the time, and Third Uncle couldn't take her pulse accurately."

This time Song Xiu complained of abdominal pain.

The third uncle just said that it was suspected to be a miscarriage.

In fact, there was some uncertainty, but the doctor from the town was invited and he said that there were definitely signs of miscarriage.

Song Jin and Qin Chi looked at each other.

After being tormented by the evil spirit, the couple lost their moral integrity during sex, and then encountered old Liu's mischief. The fetus only became ill now, and Song Xiu could finally say that she was well again.

No more talk about Song Xiu.

Song Jin asked what he was worried about, "Husband, how is the medicine store going?"

"Meng Qingrui had someone get the deputy envoy of the pharmacy drunk at a banquet, and took the opportunity to ask him about some things. He said that Prefect Yang asked the pharmacy to purchase a batch of medicinal materials, and the ambassador of the pharmacy assigned the task to him, and he was in charge of Yi County and Qimen..."

Huimin Pharmacy has an ambassador in charge and two deputy ambassadors.

The ambassador is responsible for She County and Jixi County.

Another one is responsible for Xiuning and Wuyuan.

This deputy envoy who came to Yi County was not very popular in the pharmacy.

Qimen and Yi County are far and remote, and the deputy envoy was reluctant to come. It was the steward of Prefect Yang's family who approached him privately and asked him to have a drink. During the conversation, he mentioned Jifang Pharmacy and the fallen drug dealer Song family.

Song Jin suddenly lowered her eyeshadow to hide the dark light in her eyes, and asked in a normal voice, "Is Governor Yang targeting Ji Fang?"

"It's possible, but not very likely."

Qin Chi has sent people to the capital to investigate, but no news has come back for a while. "Yang Lingyu comes from a scholarly family, and the children of aristocratic families are born with pride. Not to mention a few servants from the Song family, even if the Song family has not yet fallen, they will not take them seriously."

They have an elder who is a cabinet minister.

Song Jin was thoughtful about this, "If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be many housekeepers in the mansion who could order them around."

Then it can only be the prefect’s family.

Qin Chi also thought of this question, "We'll know when we hear news from the capital city."

"Well, we can only wait."

Song Jin had never thought that he would not be able to solve the problem since Qin Chi said he would take over the matter. At least, the second son of the county magistrate of Yi County would have no problem dealing with a deputy envoy who was almost the same as a yamen runner in the pharmacy. It was just that it showed the benefits of having someone in the yamen.

Especially for businessmen.

It's hard to run a business without a backer.

It was just a small pharmacy, and it encountered problems one after another as soon as it started to develop.

Qin Chi took the needle and thread from Song Jin's hand and said, "Don't do needlework tonight, or you might hurt your eyes."

"I'm just killing time."

Song Jin smiled and let him take it away.

Qin Chi pretended to have just remembered something, "I heard that my wife transferred some of the stored medicinal materials to Shunan Sancheng this time. Didn't I tell you that you don't have to pay for it?"

Song Jin said truthfully: "I'm not giving money, I'm repaying a favor."

Qin Chi was speechless immediately.

It is not difficult to investigate the matter of the deputy envoy of the pharmacy. The main reason is that the provincial capital is a bit far from Yi County, and it takes some time to go back and forth.

Waited until the next morning.

The news then reached Qinjiagou.

Qin Chi directly gave the letter to Song Jin.

Song Jin hesitated for a moment and then opened it directly.

It turned out that it was not Prefect Yang who was behind this matter, but it was instigated by Mr. Zeng's daughter, Zeng, who married the prefect.

The Zeng family went bankrupt, and Zeng's money became a little tight.

Zeng learned from Prefect Yang that there was an insect plague in Anqing Prefecture and that there would probably be a shortage of medicinal materials in the future. So he wanted to buy a batch of medicinal materials in advance and resell them at a high price next month.

I just want to do the business of buying low and selling high.

The Zeng family targeted Jifang Pharmacy probably because they knew that Jifang was somehow involved in Mr. Zeng's death, even if they were venting their anger on him.

I want the pharmacy officials to teach Jifang a lesson.

Zeng, who lived in the back house, was out of touch with the news and had no idea that Jifang was protected by Shunan Commercial Bank.

If he knew, he probably wouldn't be so forceful.

"Should we publicize this matter? It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, as long as everyone in the city knows about it." Song Jin did not kill the Zeng family.

Only two of the culprits died.

Finally she was merciful.

When Qin Chi heard Song Jin's words, he knew what she wanted to do. It didn't take much effort to deal with a concubine. As long as the concubine affected the reputation of the master's family, she would be deposed no matter how favored she was.

Before the Zeng family fell, they would often present tributes, and Prefect Yang might have paid some attention to them. But now the Zeng family is in trouble, and Zeng has colluded with the deputy envoy of the pharmacy to hoard medicinal materials.

If this matter gets out and is not handled properly, it will definitely affect the reputation and official career of Governor Yang.

Song Jin wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

Qin Chi suddenly suggested, "Instead of spreading the news, there is actually another way, which is to collect evidence and hand it over to the governor."

"Is this possible?"

"Now is the time when insect diseases are spreading. As the prefect, he does not help the country and ask for help from the people, but abuses his power for personal gain, hoards medicinal materials, and forces purchases and sales. These are enough to get Yang Lingyu into trouble. Even if it is finally found out that it was his favorite concubine who did it, he will not be able to think of promotion in the next few years."

The Yang family is not without political enemies.

If this matter is handled well, it will definitely affect Yang Lingyu's performance.

Song Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Chi.

Worthy of being a scholar.

All she could think of was to use words to force Governor Yang to punish Zeng.

People just want to deal with Magistrate Yang directly!

Great, she likes it!

Song Jin immediately decided to do as Qin Chi wanted. Naturally, the task of searching for evidence should be done by Shunan's people. Besides, before the deputy envoy approached Jifang, he had already used the same method to force purchases from other people.

These are all evidence.

Here, the couple was discussing how to get rid of them while causing trouble for Prefect Yang Lingyu.

Song Xiu has been lying on the bed without a rest today.

She asked for this and that, making Qin Daya, who was taking care of her temporarily, very busy.

People at home would occasionally hear Qin Daya's voice, "Grandma, my aunt said the white porridge is too bland and not to her liking. She wants shredded chicken porridge."

"Fuck her! It's good enough that she has something to eat!" Old Liu was scolding everyone in the main room with full of energy.

Then Qin Daya said loudly, "Grandma! It's bad, my aunt said she doesn't want to live anymore!"

"boom!"

The old lady Liu in the main house was so angry that she smashed things and said, "Kill the chicken! Lin, go catch another chicken and kill it."

Now, Mrs. Liu was really under the control of Song Xiu.

So Song Xiu said she wanted to eat sesame cakes and Dingsheng cakes, then she said she wanted to eat hairy tofu and knife-cut fragrant noodles, and the most outrageous thing was that she even said she wanted to eat Tunxi drunken crabs.

Can I eat crabs when I’m pregnant?

Old Liu was so angry that she started cursing in the kitchen again.

This bitch has a gold nugget in her belly and thinks she is the gold nugget!
