Chu Hexuan was dressed in a white robe with green leaf patterns embroidered on his chest and collar. He stood tall, and the four servants behind him were holding several precious paintings and calligraphy by famous artists.

"County Lady, I have come here specially to return the famous paintings and calligraphy. I was deceived by the Third Miss of the Gu family. I didn't know that these paintings and calligraphy belonged to you."

Seeing that he was trustworthy, Song Wanyin turned around and winked at the four maids, asking them to accept all the calligraphy and paintings by famous artists and hang them carefully in Zhuyingzhai.

"Mr. Chu, now that the original item has been returned to you, you may leave."

She was well aware of the complicated relationship between Chu Hexuan and Gu Qingzhi and didn't want to talk to him much.

Chu Hexuan glanced at Xiao Jingheng beside him, feeling a strong sense of oppression, and took a deep breath and said:

"County Lady, I came to see you today because I have something to tell you.

I beg the county lady to move aside so that we can discuss this in private."

Song Wanyin frowned slightly, excused herself from Xiao Jingheng, and took Chu Hexuan to the pavilion to sit down, and said straight to the point:

"Mr. Chu, please speak frankly. I have important matters to attend to and cannot delay for too long."

Xiao Jingheng originally wanted to follow, but was forcibly pulled away by Song Wanfeng who suddenly appeared. He hid aside and secretly watched them chatting.

"Brother Wanfeng, why are you pulling me?"

Seeing that he was just a blockhead, Song Wanfeng said softly:

"This Mr. Chu must have come here because he admires my sister.

You are standing there like a wooden stake, how can I express my love to my sister?"

Xiao Jingheng's face darkened, and he wanted to step forward to disrupt their conversation, but Song Wanfeng grabbed his arm tightly:

"Brother Wanfeng, I have heard that Mr. Chu is knowledgeable and I would like to go up and ask for his advice."

Song Wanfeng was not willing to let him destroy such a warm atmosphere, so he asked in a low voice:

"Jing Heng, what do you think of Mr. Su just now and Mr. Chu now?

Which of them is more suitable for my sister? "

Xiao Jingheng's eyes dimmed, he shook his head slightly, and said lightly:

"They are just mediocre people."

In his heart, no one is worthy of his junior sister.

Song Wanfeng knew that he had high standards, so he continued to ask:

"Then in your opinion, looking at the entire court, which prince is worthy of my sister?"

Xiao Jingheng's expression became more and more ugly, and he said meaningfully:

"If we talk about suitability, there is indeed someone who is worthy of Junior Sister."

Song Wanfeng asked curiously, but he did not answer, leaving himself in suspense.

Who on earth is this person who could catch my sister's eye and win her heart?

Under the pavilion, the breeze is blowing gently and the fragrance of tea is everywhere.

Chu Hexuan clenched his hands on his knees into fists, and was so nervous that sweat oozed from his forehead. He mustered up his courage and said:

"County Lady, I fell in love with you at first sight and would like to marry you."

Song Wanyin held the lid of the teapot, gently stirred the tea leaves on the water, and said calmly:

"Mr. Chu, do you know that I had a failed marriage?

As far as I know, Duke Chu and Madam Chu will never tolerate you marrying a woman who has been married twice.

So there is no need for you to waste your time on me, we are not suitable for each other."

Chu Hexuan had long expected that she would reject him, but he still refused to give up and said:

"Please rest assured, County Lady. I am the only son of my parents and they have always loved me the most.

As long as it's the woman I choose, they will definitely respect my choice. I don't care if you've been married before."

Song Wanyin sneered:

"Mr. Chu, don't let your imagination run wild.

With your current abilities, you still have to rely on your parents for support and cannot survive independently.

Do you have the ability to protect me from being bullied?

If you really marry me, Duke Chu and Madam Chu will probably be pissed off to death by you.

I know what you are thinking, but you shouldn't be calculating against me."

She had heard that the Chu family was currently being squeezed out by the princelings and was surviving in the cracks.

The Chu family just wants to cling to the powerful and have a solid backing to survive.

Chu Hexuan's plan was exposed by her words. For a moment, he was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

The purpose of his coming this time was indeed to curry favor with the powerful Song family and find a way out for the Chu family.

The Chu family has been forced into a desperate situation by the princelings. His parents have been so worried that they have been unable to sleep or eat, and they have looked much older.

As the only son in the family, it is time for me to take on the responsibility.

Since I last learned that Song Wanyin had held a blind date meeting in the mansion, and then I saw her in the general's mansion looking for a lover.

Thinking that she had a failed marriage and would have difficulty getting married again in the future, he set his sights on her.

Chu Hexuan concealed his inner panic with an awkward smile:

"I don't know what the county lady means?

However, I am truly sincere to the county lady and am willing to wait for her to change her mind.

Sorry for bothering you, I will take my leave now."

Seeing that he was still unwilling to tell the truth, Song Wanyin said:

“Mr. Chu, if you want to break free from the shackles and get out of trouble, you don’t necessarily have to rely on a woman.

With Mr. Chu's extensive knowledge, he can definitely pass the exam to gain fame and fortune, and turn the tide with his own superiority."

Chu Hexuan was shocked and felt extremely humiliated. His face darkened and he walked away without looking back.

He secretly made up his mind to work hard, make a name for himself in the future, and severely punish those who once looked down on him!

As soon as Chu Hexuan left, Tian Cheng came hurriedly to report:

"Girl, it's bad, something terrible has happened!

Many patients came to our Jishiditang to make trouble, claiming that the medicinal materials we sold were problematic.

After taking the medicine, many patients developed symptoms such as vomiting blood, metrorrhagia, bloody stools, persistent high fever, and coma.

The entrance is now completely blocked, and the patients are threatening to demand an explanation and report to the police."

Song Wanyin was startled. No wonder her right eye kept twitching. She immediately stood up and walked out.

"Tian Cheng, quickly prepare the carriage, let's go to Jishiditang to take a look."

When Xiao Jingheng saw her suddenly leave in a hurry, he followed her, leaving Song Wanfeng alone, disheveled in the wind.

Song Wanfeng shouted doubtfully:

"The drinks are ready, but you all left. Isn't it all wasted?"

Jishiditang was filled with noise and bustle. A group of patients had blocked the inside and outside of the place, and the waiters were almost torn in half by the patients. The scene was in chaos.

"How dare you, Jishitang, sell fake medicine? After my mother took it, she not only vomited blood but also had blood in her stool. Now she has a high fever and is unconscious. You must give me an explanation!"

"Jishi Tang claims to be a doctor who can help the world, and it has a good reputation in Shangjing City. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for making dirty money?"

"My father is now in critical condition after taking your medicine, and even the doctors are helpless. If someone dies, I will sue Jishidiang until it goes bankrupt!"

"Does your black shop live up to the words 'helping the world' on the sign? I think you are just pursuing personal gain and don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. You are so wicked!"
