Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

A quarter of an hour later, Cui Jinyin left the Shen Mansion in the same way she came.

The exquisite wooden carved box was still held in Taotao's arms.

After getting on the carriage, Cui Jinyin did not let the driver go back home, but instead instructed the driver in a trance to go to the residence of Lord Lu, the head of the National Medical Bureau.

She recalled Shen Zheng asking her three questions.

The first one is: "Did you bring these treasures here on your own initiative?"

She said, "No, it was when my grandfather was on his deathbed that he asked the housekeeper to prepare it in order to make peace with you."

The second one is: "Did you say that I must accept it?"

She replied, "Yes, the housekeeper said that if you don't accept it, the Cui family will be embarrassed to ask Doctor Li to see you."

The third one - "Do you know the origin of these treasures?"

She thought about it for a long time, but was shocked to find that she had never seen these rare treasures in the Cui Mansion - this was totally wrong. Whether it was the storehouse in the mansion or her grandfather's private storehouse, the treasures available in them should have been the ones she had picked out.

These three short questions made her feel like she was hit hard, her hands and feet went numb, and her mind went blank.

She is a little dumb and looks at things in a simple way, but that doesn't mean she has no brains.

It was reasonable to ask the doctor for help, and it was also reasonable to want to resolve the past grudge, but why did he hint to her to use the back door and even pass such a generous gift through her hands to the Shen Mansion?

An unprecedented fear lingered in her heart. Her hands trembled a little, and even her voice trembled: "Taotao, we may have almost harmed Lord Shen..."

Tao Tao had been waiting outside, and was confused when she heard this: "Why do you say that, Miss? Are you worried that Doctor Li will be bullied by the housekeeper when he arrives at the Shen Mansion?"

As she spoke, she felt her arms a little sore and carefully placed the box on the table.

Looking at the exquisite treasure box, Cui Jinyin was like a frightened cat. She raised her hand and flicked her sleeves, throwing the box to the ground.

The box opened and rare treasures fell to the ground. As the carriage shook, the colorful lights spun around, charming and dazzling.

"Miss!" Tao Tao didn't bother picking up the treasures. She moved directly to sit next to Cui Jinyin, hugged her, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or did Lord Shen say something to you?"

"Taotao..." Cui Jinyin clutched Taotao's sleeves tightly with both hands and said with trembling teeth, "If I give this treasure box away as a gift, I may never be able to leave the Cui Mansion again..."

Apart from a few people from the Shen and Cui residences, no one knew that the gift was sent by her. If she "accidentally fell ill and couldn't see anyone", or "went to a local farm because she was unwell"...

Isn’t this a disguised form of “no evidence after death”?

die?

When she thought of this word, she shrank into Taotao's arms.

A voice told her - No, your grandfather loves you the most as his granddaughter, how could he bear to let you die.

Another voice said - he has asked you to give gifts as a target, how could he not do it!

At this moment, another voice appeared in the most secret corner of his heart - what if his grandfather really fell seriously ill and wanted to resolve the grudge with Lord Shen?

As if grasping a life-saving straw, she pulled open the car curtain and urged: "Faster!"

As long as we invite Lu Shuling back to Cui Mansion, we will know what happened to our grandfather.

As a relative, she should have hoped for her grandfather's good health, even if he was just faking illness. But faced with such calculations, she actually wanted to pray to God that her grandfather was truly ill and that there was a cure.

......

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the back door of Cui's house.

The housekeeper had been waiting inside the door for a long time. When he heard the sound, he immediately opened the back door. His expression was as if he was afraid that the person outside would run away.

The door opened so quickly that the person holding an umbrella outside took a step back in shock.

The butler looked over hastily. After seeing the face under the umbrella, he was stunned. "Master Lu, Master Lu, why is it you?"

Lu Fugong frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased: "Doctor Li is preparing medicinal herbs and can't get away, so I'll come and take a look on his behalf."

Although I have to admit that my medical skills are not as good as Brother Li's, I shouldn't be despised so much, right?

It was raining, and if Lord Shen hadn't asked him to do so, he wouldn't have been willing to make this trip.

He suppressed his displeasure, signaled his servant to bring the medical box, and prepared to walk sideways.

Cui's housekeeper was reluctant to give way. "Master Lu, Master Lu, several doctors have examined the master's condition and said it's similar to..."

"Like what?" Lu Fugong asked impatiently.

How can I be blocked outside when I come to treat patients at their door?

Rain is annoying!

"Looks like, looks like smallpox!" The butler looked flustered, his speech speed increasing considerably. "A doctor said it looked like smallpox! So I thought... to ask Doctor Li to take a look. After all, Doctor Li has experience!"

After hearing this, Lu Fugong's eyes suddenly widened.

The housekeeper thought he was frightened.

But only he himself knows that his mind is full of - is this okay?

Then he raised his hand and cursed, "Ridiculous! If it's smallpox, why didn't the Cui family hide it and not report it? Are they trying to harm His Majesty, the neighbors on Yintai Street, and the people of Shangjing?"

The housekeeper's face turned pale with fear as he watched the huge pots being knocked down one after another.

In fact, he regretted it as soon as he said it.

He just wanted to trick Doctor Li into coming, and in his haste, he only remembered that Doctor Li could treat smallpox, and forgot that smallpox was a disease that could destroy a city...

"No, no! Lord Lu, it's just a suspicion, not confirmed yet!" He hurriedly took two steps forward, trying to make amends.

"Stop talking!" Lu Fugong took two steps back and looked at him with a look that said "it's better to be late than late".

"Fortunately, I had the cowpox vaccination earlier this month, otherwise I would have been severely injured by you. In this case, I will report the Cui Mansion's affairs to His Majesty truthfully. From now on, no one in the mansion is allowed to leave. Tomorrow, I will go to the residence with Doctor Li for a consultation!"

The housekeeper's hands and feet went limp upon hearing this.

The good news is that Dr. Li will come to your house tomorrow.

The bad news is that the matter has become a big deal and may even be brought before the emperor.

"No, no..." In a panic, he didn't care about anything else, stepped over the threshold and knelt in front of Lu Fu.

"Lord Lu, it's just suspected smallpox. Please don't report it to His Majesty. If it's not, my master will be charged with deceiving the emperor..."

Lu Fugong secretly glanced at the carriage behind him, pulled back his grip on his coat, and said, "That's wrong. You must have heard how terrible smallpox is. So even if it's just a suspicion, it should be treated with caution. If it's not smallpox, everyone will be happy, and His Majesty will not punish the Cui family."

Words spoken cannot be taken back. With just a few words, he blocked the housekeeper's way forward.

When he got on the carriage and left, the butler thought of another question.

"Master Lu, have you seen my eldest daughter?"

A corner of the carriage curtain was torn, and Lu Fu bowed and shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

The butler collapsed to the ground.

Doctor Li failed to deceive the young lady, the young lady was lost, and the whole mansion was accused of having smallpox.

It was such a hasty mistake, I'd rather die.
