The three men came to Magistrate Li's study, only to see Magistrate Li lying on his back in a chair, breathing with difficulty and his face flushed.

Li Chengxiu, the second son of Li Zhifu, was patting Li Zhifu on the back to comfort him. When he saw Jiang Lili behind Li Sicong, he could not hide his contempt and disdain in his eyes.

"Brother, why did you bring this fugitive back with you?"

"Kneeling in the street is not enough, are you trying to disgrace our Li family?"

Li Chengxiu immediately turned to look at the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, why don't you go ask the palace doctor to make medicine! Are you getting old and confused?"

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Second Master, I notified the palace doctor to prepare medicine immediately."

Li Chengxiu threw his sleeves and said, "Forget it. I have taken care of my father for many years. I know best. I will go to the kitchen to help!"

He glared at Li Sicong and said, "Brother, you just recovered from your stupidity, why are you stupid again? Don't make trouble here."

"Butler, it's bad luck for you to kick this fugitive out!"

Li Chengxiu left the study in a hurry, while the housekeeper looked at Jiang Lili with an embarrassed expression: "Miss, you——"

At this time, Jiang Lili had already walked to the front of Li Zhifu and squatted down. She took out an emergency inhalation aerosol for sudden asthma attacks from her backpack.

Li Sicong supported Li Zhifu and asked him to inhale the medicine with his breathing.

In less than half an incense stick of time, Magistrate Li, who was having difficulty breathing, recovered and slowly opened his eyes.

"How come today's medicine arrived so quickly?"

When he regained consciousness, he realized that he was not relying on the medicine but a cool air that moistened his throat, and the feeling of being strangled by the throat also dissipated.

Li Zhifu sat up in shock: "Cong'er, what medicine did you just give me? It's so magical!"

Li Sicong introduced Jiang Lili to Li Zhifu: "Father, this is exactly what I asked for, this miracle doctor did it!"

"Although I know that it is absurd to ask for help from an unknown exile, as long as there is a glimmer of hope that can alleviate your pain, I will do my best to fight for it!"

Jiang Lili was already applauding Li Sicong in her heart. Look, what is the art of speaking? Li Xiaoguan, please publish a book!

"The second brother just talked to me about this in the study room. He said that you were so stupid that you knelt down like a fugitive on the street."

Magistrate Li looked at Li Sicong's knees. The clothes at his knees had become dirty, and he noticed that Li Sicong's knees were still shaking slightly when he walked.

Magistrate Li felt touched and guilty. When the second son told tales just now, he thought that the eldest son was being foolish again. Now it seems that having such a filial son who would give up everything for him is really a blessing in life!

"It was this medicine that saved me?" Magistrate Li looked at the small white bottle in Li Sicong's hand. He bowed to Jiang Lili and said, "My miraculous doctor, do you still have this medicine?"

Jiang Lili responded, "The potion in your hand can be used four or five times. Remaking it requires a lot of precious herbs and silver, and it will take time. I only have this one bottle on hand, and I am the only one in the world who can make it."

After Jiang Lili said this, Magistrate Li quickly clenched the small bottle in his hand. It was too precious!

"I'm willing to pay whatever price you ask. I hope you can keep making this potion for me!"

Jiang Lili looked embarrassed: "This... My lord, my status is awkward, and it is really difficult for me to continue to provide you with this kind of medicine."

With Li Sicong's explanation, Prefect Li also learned about Jiang Lili's identity. When he learned that she was the Crown Prince's Consort of Marquis Zhaoping before her exile, he was shocked.

But after weighing the pros and cons, your own life is the most important!

Li Zhifu pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? I will send four agile escorts to escort you to Haizhou. After you prepare the medicine, have one of them bring it to me, and the other three will be responsible for protecting your safety in Haizhou."

Cong'er had mentioned to him that he was building a security company recently and recruited some talented people from the martial arts world. It would be better for him to support Cong'er first.

Jiang Lili hesitated: "This, this is not impossible, but making this kind of medicine is too time-consuming."

Seeing that the other party was willing to give in, Magistrate Li quickly added chips: "Don't worry, the money will definitely be in place, and I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and drink in Haizhou."

Jiang Lili agreed reluctantly, but she was actually very happy.

After Jiang Lili and Li Zhifu reached an agreement, Li Chengxiu finally arrived with a bowl of strong-smelling medicine.

He pushed open the door and was shocked to see Li Zhifu, who looked normal. "Father, what happened to you?"

Magistrate Li was furious when he looked at his second son. Before he fell ill, it was his second son who came to tell tales, saying that the eldest son knelt down in the street and exaggeratedly said many bad things about the eldest son and Jiang Lili, which made him angry.

"Why? Are you not happy to see me get better? Are you hoping that I won't get better?"

"no!"

Li Chengxiu didn't expect his father to be so aggressive.

Li Sicong quickly advised: "Father, don't blame my brother. It's normal for my brother to trust his cousin more than this strange female doctor here."

After Li Sicong said this, Magistrate Li suddenly remembered that the court doctor was the second son's cousin from his mother's side.

He suddenly understood that the second brother was afraid that his cousin would lose his job!

The more Li Zhifu thought about it, the angrier he became. "Besides speaking ill of your elder brother and telling tales, what else can you do?"

"You've lived for so many years, but it's not as good as the ten days your brother lived after recovering from his illness!"

Li Chengxiu was angry and aggrieved, but he didn't dare to glare at his elder brother, so he could only glare at Jiang Lili fiercely.

Faced with Li Chengxiu's impotent rage, Jiang Lili gave him the middle finger and glared back. Then, she noticed that there was an exquisitely embroidered sachet around Li Chengxiu's waist.

Jiang Lili has a very sensitive nose, so she asked why there was a faint strange fragrance in the air.

Jiang Lili pointed with her little hand and started to report: "Second Master Li, what's in the sachet on your waist? It smells so good!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the sachet on Li Chengxiu's waist.

This was a gift from the top prostitute in the brothel. Li Chengxiu hesitated, but Li Zhifu was already furious: "You know your father has asthma, and you still wear this thing?!"

"From now on you will stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Li Chengxiu completely lost his power and was taken out of the study by the housekeeper in a daze.

It was getting late, and Jiang Lili was arranged to stay in the second most luxurious guest house.

Why is it the second most luxurious? Because there is a distinguished guest from the capital visiting the mansion, and the matter is of great importance. Prefect Li has kept it strictly confidential, and only he knows the identity of the distinguished guest. As for the purpose of the distinguished guest's visit, he has no authority to know.

"and many more--"

In the study, Li Sicong, who was discussing government affairs with Li Sicong, suddenly came to his senses: "Cong'er, you just said that this miracle doctor is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel?"

"Is it Jiang Lili?"

Li Sicong was grinding ink: "Yeah, what's wrong, father?"

Prefect Li recalled the gossip he had heard in the capital. The distinguished guest in his mansion was one of the two most evil women in the capital circle, and she would quarrel with the other one whenever they met.

"Oh my! Something bad has happened! How could these two living ancestors meet each other in my house!!!"

“It’s God’s will that makes people do things!”

Magistrate Li screamed and ran out to find the housekeeper.

Li Sicong was left confused. Who is this living ancestor?
