After Li Yong left, Li Sisi got up from the ground with a gloomy face.

She looked at Li Yong with disdain in her eyes.

This guy is not a good person either. He actually kicked his own flesh and blood to death!

Just like Feng Hongming, he is a hypocrite who appears two-faced!

Such a person is not worthy of being a father, nor does he deserve to live in this world.

He recognized Li Yong as his godfather just because he wanted to use the Li family as a stepping stone.

Hearing that Emperor Tianyang has many children, Li Sisi will definitely step on the corpses of all of them step by step and sit on the throne of queen that is most desired by women in the world!

As long as I become the queen of Tianyang, I will no longer be sold here and there, beaten and molested...

The deaths of Madam Li and Liu Mazi did not cause any ripples in the Li Mansion.

Shuangxi and the housekeeper quickly sold the maids and servants who had previously served Madam Li.

The next morning, several carriages slowly drove out of the general's mansion.

Li Sisi was also helped by the maid to change into gorgeous dress. At this moment, she was sitting in the carriage and looking out through the curtain.

Li Yong was riding on a horse, walking unsteadily in front.

The door of the general's mansion was slammed shut by the people sent by Ning Ye.

Although Li Yong felt disdainful in his heart, he did not dare to show it.

But he secretly thought that when he returned, he would hire a female teacher to teach Li Sisi the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting and dancing.

Even if he wanted to send her away as a concubine, he couldn't let her be illiterate and bring disgrace to the Li family.

Li Sisi looked outside for a while and felt bored, so she asked the maid to lower the curtain.

She leaned on the cushion and closed her eyes, but Li Jiaojiao's face kept appearing in her mind.

Humph! You are such an idiot, how can you be worthy of being a rich lady?

Go with peace of mind, from now on she will be the daughter of the Li family, replacing Li Jiaojiao!

Li Yong would never have thought at this moment that it was his greed that pushed the Li family into a dead end step by step!

While Bei Xiao was busy conquering Tianyang, the people of Dajing Kingdom, which had a very low sense of existence, were troubled by the plague and were in constant fear.

Emperor Dajing asked the imperial doctors in the palace to study prescriptions to eliminate the plague day and night.

However, the imperial physicians searched through ancient medical books and could not find any method of prevention or treatment.

When Emperor Dajing was in court, the court officials also sighed.

In just one month, tens of thousands of people in Dajing Kingdom died of the plague.

Emperor Dajing was so worried that he had a few more white hairs on his head, but there was nothing he could do.

The only thing they could do was to order the people who died of the plague to be burned and buried on the spot...

Wang Baben is staying in the Dajing Imperial City at the moment. He wears a mask and stands at the door of the newly rented shop, watching the hurried passers-by.

At this time, someone noticed the mask on Wang Baben's face.

Not only did he walk up to her and ask curiously, "Brother, what is that on your face?"

Wang Baben looked around and said mysteriously, "To be honest with you, little brother, this thing of mine is called a mask! Isn't there an epidemic in Dajing recently? Wearing this thing can greatly reduce the risk of infection! It took me a lot of effort to get this thing!"

The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in astonishment, "There is such a good thing? Brother, can you give me the one on your face?"

As he said that, he wanted to pull the mask off Wang Baben's face.

Wang Baben took a step back in a hurry, shook his head and refused: "No way! I've already worn it, and this one is very expensive..."

Yu Huanming's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he immediately said, "I am the young master of Yu's Trading Company! How much is your broken mask worth?"

Because his voice was slightly higher, passers-by stopped and watched.

Seeing this, Wang Baben smiled a little more.

He pointed at the mask on his face and said loudly: "This mask of mine is filled with concentrated mugwort essential oil! Everyone knows mugwort, right? It can be burned to prevent plague! I bought this mask for five hundred coins! If you want it, give me an extra hundred coins! It can also be considered as a fee for running errands..."

A hint of disdain flashed across Yu Huanming's eyes. How dare he ask him for six hundred coins for just a piece of rag!

If others can do it, his Yu’s Business can do it too!

Isn’t it just a piece of rag and some moxa leaves?

He went home immediately and discussed with his sister to make and sell the masks as soon as possible!

Yu Huanming snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Wang Baben spoke again: "My dear brother, you don't want my plague-preventing mask? Six hundred coins won't buy you any loss or deception! But it can protect you from getting the plague as much as possible! Think about it, if you really get the plague at this juncture, can six hundred coins buy your life?"

His words shocked everyone who originally wanted to laugh at him.

It seems... what the shopkeeper said makes some sense...

If you really get infected with the plague, let alone six hundred coins, even six or sixty taels may not be able to save your life!

A man squeezed out of the crowd and looked at Wang Baben with hope in his eyes: "Shopkeeper, since this gentleman doesn't want to buy that mask, can you give it to me? I want to buy three!"

He wanted to take it back home for his mother, wife and daughter to wear as they were all weak.

If you get the plague, you'll die...

I am strong and can still endure...

Wang Baben stared at him for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course you can! Come with me, let's pay and get the goods!"

The man almost jumped up in surprise, and followed Wang Baben to thank him repeatedly.

He took out a piece of silver from his arms, and when he saw Wang Baben cut a piece off from it with scissors, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

But when he saw the three masks Wang Baben handed over, that feeling of heartache disappeared.

Whatever, as long as I can survive this plague, what does it matter if I lose the money?

He is still young and strong now, he can just do some hard labor to earn the money back.

The man carefully put the mask to his nose and smelled it, and said happily: "It really is the smell of mugwort! Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Not only is the price of mugwort rising rapidly in all the pharmacies in the imperial city, but it is also out of stock, and ordinary people like them cannot buy it at all.

Nowadays, if the mask you buy smells like mugwort, you are really lucky.

Wang Baben smiled and said, "Businessmen value honesty and integrity. If I say there is mugwort, then it is real! But you must remember that you cannot exchange masks! Also, the smell of this mugwort will gradually fade after about five days, and you will need to replace it with a new one..."

The man was stunned at first, then nodded with a melancholy look on his face.

He walked out of the shop with the three masks he bought tightly in his arms.

When the crowd saw him coming out, they all asked, "How is it? Is this mask really so magical?"

"What kind of mask really has mugwort on it? Is this shopkeeper lying? We all know that mugwort is not available even if you have money!"

The man who just bought the mask blushed and explained: "It's true! I just put it to the tip of my nose and smelled it. It is the smell of mugwort, and the smell is extremely strong! I won't tell you anymore, I have to go home quickly and let my wife and children wear it! This is a good thing to save lives..."
