The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

“It’s a medicine.”

"medicine?"

Ruan Shuyan tilted her head in surprise and was about to ask more when a voice came.

"Miss Ruan, are you curious about my medicine?"

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin, pale young man walking out from the corner. He was handsome, but he was surrounded by a layer of gloom and looked very depressed.

At this moment, the young man spoke again: "Miss Ruan has been staring at me, but I am very pretty?"

Ruan Shuyan coughed lightly and avoided the questioning behind her: "I am indeed very curious about your medicine, because this smell... is really unpleasant."

The young man sneered: "Just say it smells bad, there's no need to pretend."

He walked past Ruan Shuyan and said, "But this medicine can suppress the plague."

Suppress the plague?

Ruan Shuyan's heart skipped a beat. She was about to ask something but was stopped by the third brother. Seeing him shaking his head, she swallowed the words she was asking.

The young man was still walking out, and there was something unnatural about his slow steps.

Is there something wrong with his legs?

Ruan Shuyan stared at him intently, and when his figure disappeared, she heard the third brother beside her sigh, "Thank you, Miss Ruan, for not asking any further questions."

"I can't ask further questions? But is there something wrong with the medicine?"

"I don't know, but he has no patience and doesn't like being questioned. Sometimes when he's in a bad mood, he'll attack those who ask questions."

Shooting?

Ruan Shuyan's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Did he really do that?"

The third brother didn't say anything, but his awkward expression gave Ruan Shuyan the answer, that the young man had indeed attacked someone.

But when she thought of the young man's words "control the plague", she felt that it was okay to be beaten.

Natural disasters have been happening constantly these days, and plagues have also increased. Every time there are many casualties, if there really is a drug that can control these casualties, wouldn't that be...

Thinking of that situation, Ruan Shuyan's expression froze: "How many people have you told about this?"

The third brother whispered, "I haven't told many people about it. In fact, even if people have heard it, few would believe it. You don't have to take it to heart. Let's go. Our residence is in front."

He said it was medicine at the beginning, but now he says no one believes him. Is that possible?

Ruan Shuyan followed behind the third brother and looked around silently.

It wasn't long before she saw the people who lived here, each of them had a gloomy face and sinister eyes.

When they saw them, they kept staring at them, and some even followed them, but they were quickly chased away by the third brother.

The third brother explained: "They are all people who stay in the deep. They don't move around much on weekdays, so they don't know your identity, but don't worry, they won't hurt you."

Ruan Shuyan smiled and did not comment on what the third brother said.

Less than half an hour later, the few of them passed through the alley they came from and returned to the carriage.

Ruan Shuyan told the third brother: "It will take some time for me to come here. I will send the herbs over as soon as they are ready."

The third brother showed a happy expression: "Thank you Miss Ruan, thank you very much."

Ruan Shuyan nodded, looked around, and lowered her voice slightly: "Did a fight happen here yesterday?"

The third brother's eyes flashed: "Miss Ruan, what is this..."

Ruan Shuyan did not hide it: "My husband was injured here yesterday and has been in a coma since then."

After hearing this, the third brother frowned and said, "You are talking about a young man, right? I remember there was a woman beside him."

woman?

The one we should talk about is Nalan Jinxiu.

After a moment, the third brother described the appearance of the two men.

When Ruan Shuyan heard that it was Xie Yuchun and Nalan Jinxiu, she immediately said, "Yes, it was them. Do you know who injured that young man?"

“We didn’t see it.”

"Didn't you see it?"

The third brother nodded: "We heard the noise and rushed over but it was too late. Fortunately, Wen Sheng was here and helped stabilize the young master's condition."

After a pause, the third brother added: "Wen Sheng is the young man you saw just now."

Ruan Shuyan didn't expect there would be something about that young man.

After a brief silence, she asked, "Can you ask around for me? See if there's anyone who was there at the time?"

The third brother scratched his head: "I can ask, but the details..."

Seeing the difficulty on his face, Ruan Shuyan quickly said, "It's good if you can ask, but it's okay if you can't."

Hearing this, the third brother breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then you can go back. I will have someone send you the news tomorrow at the latest."

"Thank you."

Ruan Shuyan thanked him and got on the carriage back to Xie's house.

"Madam, you are back."

The Xie family's doorman ran up and greeted them warmly.

Ruan Shuyan nodded slightly and was about to go over when she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there anything wrong in the mansion?"

Although she came and went quickly, it took more than an hour.

The doorman said, "Nothing happened. It's just that Eunuch Su Sheng came just now and left an imperial physician behind, saying that he would let him go back after the master recovers."

Ruan Shuyan's heart moved. It was not something that the Thirteenth Princess could do to keep the imperial physician. The Emperor should take action.

In this case, Xie Yuchun’s going to Beicheng is also related to the emperor.

Could it be that the emperor wanted to deal with the problem in Beicheng? But with so many ministers in the court, why did he hand this matter over to Xie Yuchun?

It’s strange to say, Xie Yuchun is obviously the new top scholar, but the emperor values ​​him very much and doesn’t even send him away. Is this normal?

Ruan Shuyan returned to the yard while thinking, but found that Xie Yuchun was not in the yard. After asking, she learned that Qingfengyuan had borrowed Su Sheng and brought the person back.

Thinking of the doorman's hospitality just now, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Chun Tao frowned: "Miss, do you want to bring your son-in-law back..."

"No need, just let him stay in Qingfeng Courtyard, we will go there after he wakes up."

The next day, after Ruan Shuyan had breakfast and was dealing with the account books, she heard Chuntao say that Xie Yuchun had woken up.

But she did not move. Instead, she finished reading the account book and then slowly went to Qingfeng Courtyard. However, when she arrived at the door, she was stopped by someone.

"The old lady said that the master needs to rest and cannot meet outsiders casually. Miss Ruan should go back quickly and stop making trouble."

The maid who stopped the man had a smug look on her face, and her eyes were full of disdain when she looked at Ruan Shuyan.

"outsider?"

Ruan Shuyan repeated word by word, raising her chin slightly: "Slap!"

Without waiting for the maid to react, Lai Ma rushed forward and slapped her twice, knocking the maid to the ground.

Ruan Shuyan walked past her and bumped into Xie Linlin at the door.

"What are you here for?"

Xie Linlin frowned and looked at Ruan Shuyan with vigilance.

Ruan Shuyan said, "I came to visit my husband."

Xie Linlin looked strange: "Don't you know that my eldest brother has been sent away?"

Send away?

The smile on Ruan Shuyan's face disappeared, it was another belated news.

"Where was he sent?"
