The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband

"My foster father has completed the test. Liu Dong from Jinzhou County can be trusted!" Shi Lushan reported after returning to Beijing.

"Very good. How is his child?"

"The people from the Imperial Hospital have treated him and he is fine now," Shi Lushan replied.

"Liu Dong sent a message saying that you were injured while chasing the people from Zuiyanlou. Are you seriously injured?" the Prime Minister asked sharply.

"It's a minor injury, it's nothing. I can accomplish my foster father's great cause. This injury is nothing."

Shi Lushan replied with forced calmness that even though Liu Dong promised to conceal the injury for him and specifically wrote in his reply that he was injured in the pursuit, he was still worried that he would be used by Yang Guofu in the future, so he deliberately concealed the fact of his injury.

After hearing what he said, Yang Shoufu looked at him, then took out a milky white jade bottle from his waist and said, "This is Dawu's secret medicine. I heard that it can heal the dead. I hope you can recover soon. The capital will still need you."

After Yang Shoufu finished speaking, he let him leave. Shi Lushan took the pill in front of him. As soon as he returned home, he received the herbal medicine sent by Liu Dong from Jinzhou County, with a letter inside.

When he opened the letter, it turned out to be Jiao Niang telling him what to avoid eating. Shi Lushan immediately sent someone to give Liu Dong a hundred taels of gold, asking him to thank Jiao Niang the next time he saw her.

It is true that the medicine was prescribed by Jiao Niang at the request of Imperial Doctor Zhang, but Yan Lang asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to write the letter himself. He wanted to come up with a foolproof plan for Jiao Niang and his family.

In the Yan Mansion, nothing major happened during the one month that Yan Sheng and Jiao Niang were away, except that a few new faces appeared in the backyard of the kitchen.

"Manager Geng? This is..." Jiao Niang asked.

"Madam, this is the new person from the second house. He is responsible for making medicine for the master and the eldest lady. They will leave immediately."

"Grandpa is not feeling well?" Yan Lang and Jiao Niang asked together.

"A few days after the young master left, the old master suddenly fell ill and has been bedridden. At that time, the people from the second house volunteered to find a famous doctor. I don't know where the doctor came from, but after making a few prescriptions, the old master can now get out of bed."

"What about the eldest sister?" Jiao Niang asked, because before leaving the house, Jiao Niang specially prescribed some medicine for Yan Qin. Logically speaking, it would be a matter of three or two days to recover, so there should be no need to continue to invite a doctor.

Chief Steward Geng pulled Jiao Niang aside and said, "The doctor we invited threw away the medicine you prescribed, Madam, saying that your medicine is not effective."

After hearing what Manager Geng said, Jiao Niang felt that something was not right. Although the medicine she prescribed was not particularly good, it was not as bad as those people said. Moreover, the prescription was prepared by Imperial Physician Zhang.

She looked at Yan Lang and said, "Manager Geng, take me to see the dregs of the decoction."

Several people went to the kitchen and searched for a long time but couldn't find any medicine residue. When they went out to look for those people again, they had already left Yan's house.

"Jiao Niang, did you find anything?" Yan Lang asked from the side. He could see Jiao Niang's panic.

"Manager Geng, can you remember what medicinal ingredients he used to decoct?" Jiao Niang asked repeatedly.

"Madam, I only smelled a slight bitter taste but didn't see what the herb was. They boiled the medicine at night and we all went to rest at that time."

"I hope what I just smelled was wrong." Jiao Niang murmured.

Seeing the situation, Yan Lang asked Manager Geng to notify the people in Zuiyanlou to search the whole city for the two men.

"Let's go back to the bridal chamber first." Yan Lang helped Jiao Niang back to the house. As soon as they got home, they ran into Qingwen and Zhang Sui'an.

Qingwen immediately complained to Jiaoniang, saying, "Zhang Sui'an is sneaking around the big room every day. I don't know what trouble he will cause next."

"I...I am avenging my sister. He is the one who messed with my sister. Every time I get angry, I shoot her with a slingshot." After saying that, he took out his slingshot and shook it proudly.

Qingwen immediately twisted his ears and said, "Didn't I tell you to throw away this slingshot? Why is it still here? Don't let the people from the first house find it one day, or you'll be in trouble again."

"Again?" Jiao Niang deliberately dragged out the word "again". "Qingwen, can you tell me what troubles he has caused in the past month?"

"Let him speak for himself! If I tell him, I'm afraid he will accuse me of exaggerating." Qingwen looked at Zhang Suian like an adult.

"Zhang Sui'an, tell us something?!" Jiao Niang stared at the naughty child.

"It's just...it's just that not long after my sister went out, a few people came home to boil medicine for the eldest wife and Grandpa Yan. I used a slingshot to smash the medicine for the eldest wife." Zhang Sui'an said lightly.

"That's all?" Jiao Niang looked at Qingwen.

"You're still not telling the truth. He was finally discovered by the people in the first house and they almost beat him up as a thief. If the young master hadn't run away quickly and told the third shopkeeper, I'm afraid he would have been sent to the authorities by now."

Hearing Qingwen's words, Jiaoniang glared at him and said, "I told you to study, but you went to cause trouble! You really think I have no way to control you, right?"

Jiaoniang's voice could be heard outside the courtyard of the third room, and her words also reached the ears of Yanqin, the first room, "Help me go to the new room of the third room, I want to teach that woman's brother a lesson."

Yan Qin was also angry. The medicine that she had prepared with great difficulty would always be broken when it was sent to her room. After catching Zhang Suian, Yan Da let him go for the sake of Jiao Niang, which caused her to suffer from the disease and still not healed.

When Yan Qin arrived at the bridal chamber, she heard Jiao Niang scolding Zhang Sui'an. From a distance, she heard her say to Jiao Niang, "Hey! You still know how to teach him a lesson. I thought he was a bastard born of a mother but not raised by one. You've come back just in time so I can tell you everything he did in the Yan residence."

Zhang Jiaoniang heard Yan Qin's words, "Qingwen! Close the door and send the guests away."

Seeing that she was about to be turned away, Yan Qin was so anxious that she yelled outside, "Zhang Maolan, your brother knocked over my medicine and deliberately hit me with a slingshot. As the saying goes, a child's character can be seen at the age of seven. I think it's better to send this brother of yours out of the Yan Mansion. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for our family in the name of the Yan Mansion."

Hearing her words, Zhang Sui'an angrily took out his slingshot, picked up the leftover fruit core on the table, and stretched the slingshot so tight that it made a sound.

Qingwen snatched his slingshot with one hand and slapped him in the face, "Do you want to cause trouble for the lady again?", and then dismantled his slingshot in front of him.

Zhang Sui'an picked up the broken slingshot and rushed out of the bridal chamber, yelling at the people inside: "No big deal! I can just leave!"

Yan Qin was very proud when she heard what he said. When Zhang Sui'an passed by her, he took advantage of her not paying attention and pushed her hard. Yan Qin staggered and fell down on the pile of fallen rocks next to her. She grimaced in pain.

"Qingwen! Go find her quickly." Jiao Niang arranged.

Qingwen also deeply regretted her impulsive behavior. She stood there stupidly for a while before chasing after him.

Jiao Niang heard Yan Qin's voice outside the house, and was afraid that she would cause trouble again in front of the new house, so she went out to check.

Yan Qin thought Jiao Niang was here to apologize, but Jiao Niang grabbed her wrist and said, "If you dare to step into the bridal chamber without my permission again, I will infect you with a serious disease for the rest of your life."

Hearing the tone and expression, it was nothing like her usual self, "Could she be the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva?" Yan Qin felt a chill on her back when she thought of this, and immediately agreed.

Yan Qin had just stood up when Jiao Niang took out a prescription from her pocket and said, "Take it for three days and you'll be fine!"

Jiao Niang had heard what Qingwen and Zhang Suian said before, and originally wanted to make things less serious by asking Yan Da to come over to get the prescription and ease the family relationship. She had never expected that Yan Qin would come to her on her own and such a thing would happen, so now she had to give it to her for Yan Lang's sake.

Yan Qin reached out to take the prescription and wanted to leave immediately, but Jiao Niang's expression suddenly changed and she shouted, "Open your sleeve!"
