The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Qi Lingheng walked quietly to Su Tang and sat down. He glanced in front of Su Tang. Fortunately, Su Tang didn't drink any alcohol, and there was only tea as a side dish.

"Do you and the Duke want to drink? I didn't order any wine just now."

"need."

"Need not."

Su Tang asked in a loud voice, and Duke Qi also heard it, and responded together with Qi Lingheng.

"Why drink wine? It makes the room stink. Just drink this tea. It can also relieve your fatigue." Old Lady Qi rolled her eyes at Duke Qi and put the teapot on the table in front of Duke Qi.

Duke of Qi...He thought that when he came to Zuixianlou today, he could even drink a jar of Zuixianlou's fine wine.

Sighing, Duke Qi looked at Qi Lingheng with a hint of disappointment, curious as to why he had just said no.

It’s obvious that Qi Lingheng is also a wine lover.

Without good wine, the food in front of you doesn’t seem to taste good.

Duke Qi picked up his chopsticks and ate the food in front of him numbly. As for the tea, he didn't want to drink it.

Qi Lingheng was very satisfied. It was good that Su Tang did not drink alcohol when she came to the restaurant to eat. He took a look at the dishes that Su Tang had picked up and silently wrote down which ones she liked to eat.

Then he personally helped Su Tang pick up the dishes.

The Duke of Qi and Old Lady Qi saw it all and were very pleased with the intimacy between the young couple.

After everyone finished their meal and returned home, Old Madam Qi told Duke Qi the news that Su Tang was pregnant.

"Mom! Why didn't you say it just now?!" Duke Qi's loud voice shocked Old Lady Qi so much that she dodged to the side.

"I'm not deaf, you don't have to speak so loudly." Old Madam Qi glanced at Duke Qi, "You are so jumpy at your age, you are not steady at all."

Duke of Qi: "It's not a prudent thing. If I had known this just now..."

"So what if you know? Do you have anything valuable on you to give to my granddaughter-in-law? Humph, you still have to think carefully after you go home, what good things you have in your private storehouse that you can give away. And the couple doesn't want to make the whole city know about the granddaughter-in-law's pregnancy. The baby is still in the early months."

"Oh, yes, yes, mother is right. I was not steady enough. So I will go back and think about what to give you." Duke Qi said with a smile. Without waiting for Madam Qi to reply, he turned around and went to his own yard.

"Really, the older I get, the more irritable I become..." Old Lady Qi murmured as she watched Duke Qi's departing back. She knew that Duke Qi was happy because, after all, the men in the Qi family were not unfaithful and they only had one wife for generations.

This also resulted in the Qi family having few descendants, with only one son in the family for several generations.

The Qi family was a military family, and if they went on an expedition, they might become extinct. When the Duke of Qi heard that Su Tang was pregnant, he must have been very happy.

Shaking her head, Old Madam Qi also returned to her own courtyard. She had been worried about Su Tang all day, which really exhausted her. She wanted to go back and sleep for a while.

Qi Lingheng and Su Tang returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.

After returning to their own room, Qi Lingheng looked at Su Tang who was smiling all the time and said, "It seems that we succeeded. How much did we earn?"

"Want to know?" Su Tang couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"Yeah." Qi Lingheng nodded.

Only the Xie family and Emperor Jing knew how much gold ingot there was. Qi Lingheng was actually very curious about how much gold bought the Xie family the opportunity to return to the court.

"Then I'll take you to see it, but I've got to tell you in advance that you mustn't think of taking that money."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qi Lingheng was also happy for Su Tang.

Then Su Tang took Qi Lingheng back to the space.

Su Tang placed the gold ingots and the box on an open space.

Su Tang set restrictions here. No one else in the space can come except her.

Qi Lingheng looked at the large boxes piled up in front of him and roughly counted them. There were actually nearly a hundred of them.

There was an open box in front of him, which was filled with golden ingots.

Qi Lingheng picked up one and weighed it in his hand. "It's quite substantial."

Then he opened a few more boxes, and they were indeed full of gold ingots.

The boxes were piled up full.

"You are rich, but these gold bars are marked. If you want to use this gold, you have to melt it again to be safe."

"Well, that's for sure." Su Tang replied with a smile.

"Okay, I've finished looking at the gold. Let's go back and wash up and have a rest. My wife has been tired today."

Although the gold was not his, Qi Lingheng was happy for Su Tang.

Emperor Jing and the Xie family would probably be furious after getting so much gold.

When Emperor Jing discovers this, the palace will probably be bustling for a few days.

Sure enough, the next day, news came from the palace.

The palace was under martial law and people could only enter but not leave.

At the home of the official who had entered the palace to attend to the patient yesterday, a group of imperial guards came to question and search the house.

The search looked so chaotic that if you didn’t know, you would think it was the Imperial Guards ransacking the house.

The homes of those officials were turned upside down.

Of course, no one dared to search Su Tang's place.

After all, Su Tang entered the palace yesterday, came empty-handed and left empty-handed. So many gold ingots were lost, how could no one not think of Su Tang's fault?

As for the officials' wives who were suspected, it was only because they brought their own personal belongings into the palace, and took those belongings out when they came out later.

Although he had been searched when entering and leaving the palace, Emperor Jing was still unwilling to accept the fact that he had lost so much gold.

Of course, the sudden investigation did not find the lost gold ingots, but instead found evidence that some officials had accepted bribes or colluded with other officials.

Later, when these things were reported to Emperor Jing, the sick emperor fainted from anger.

The chaos in the capital has nothing to do with Su Tang. When she entered the palace yesterday, Su Tang said that she wanted to help Emperor Jing find a doctor who could cure the poisonous insect.

So the next day, Su Tang and Qi Lingheng returned to Dahe Village early in the morning after the city gate opened.

"Hey, you're back." At the entrance of Dahe Village, everyone's life is better now than before, so during the slack season, everyone will gather at the entrance to chat.

Nowadays, all the land in the village has been rented to the Zhao family. The Zhao family sends people to guide each family on what medicinal herbs to plant, so they usually only need to pull out weeds and drive away insects.

When everyone saw another luxurious carriage coming to the village, they knew that it must be the princess returning to the village.

Sure enough, Su Tang was in a good mood today. She lifted the car curtain and greeted the villagers at the entrance of the village, "Hello, everyone."

"Well, hello, Princess." Su Tang didn't allow everyone to kneel to her for no reason, so everyone just imitated the masters in the city and bowed to greet Su Tang.

"Chunmei, take the things in the carriage at the back to the village chief's house and distribute them to each family." Su Tang came back this time with a lot of supplies bought from the counties along the way, and planned to ask Village Chief Liu to distribute them to each family.
