With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

After Xiaoduo finished explaining the whole story, Zhang Zhirou glared at him fiercely with her big round eyes!

Xiaoduo shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Zhirou walked up to Shu He with an apologetic look on her face. "I'm sorry, my lady. My servant misunderstood you. My brother is safe and sound this time, thanks to your help. Please accept..."

But before she could finish her words, Shu He interrupted her impatiently, "Alright, enough of the polite words, I'm in a hurry, please make way!"

Calculating the time, the government officials might be coming. Shu He looked at Xiao Yier who was wrapped tightly in his arms and decided to leave immediately and find another pharmacy to get medicine.

Seeing her about to leave, Zhang Zhirou immediately grabbed her and said, "Hey, ma'am, can you tell me your name?"

After all, the person who could save Zhang Zhili from his coma must have extraordinary medical skills! Perhaps after discussing it with my brother's grandmother, I can ask her to come to the mansion to treat my brother!

Xiao Duo stared nervously at his mistress's hand, afraid that the eccentric and irritable lady would throw it out in the next second! After all, he had just been kicked several times by her. This lady was no ordinary person!

At this time, the sound of soldiers marching on the street was approaching rapidly. Shu He knew that it was too late for her to leave now.

She concealed the impatience and annoyance between her brows, her expression slightly cold, "Please let go, Miss!"

Zhang Zhirou realized she had lost her composure and quickly let go of her hand. Just as she was about to explain, she heard the woman speak, "The government officials are here. Since you know I didn't harm your brother, please help me solve this problem outside!"

"Hey, lady, why are you talking like that? My lady..."

Before Xiaoduo could finish his discontented words, Zhang Zhirou raised her arm to stop him. "This is as it should be. Wait a moment, my lady."

After Zhang Zhirou finished speaking, she said to Zhang Zhili, "Ali, come with me."

Seeing that several people went out to deal with the soldiers, Shu He ignored them and walked straight to Cheng Qi, took out a piece of paper and said, "I want all the medicinal herbs on it."

Cheng Qi's face turned pale. He almost made this lady a murderer just now. Thinking of what happened to the servant in Zhang's house just now, his legs felt weak. Would she kick him a few times too?

"What are you standing there for? Are you afraid that I don't have money?"

Shu He felt a little anxious and threw out all the silver he had collected from the manor.

"No, no, no, don't dare!"

Hearing this yell, Cheng Qi hurriedly grabbed the prescription and began to pick up the medicine. However, the more he picked, the more alarmed he became. Besides some common remedies for external injuries, convalescent medicine, and blood-clearing and blood-stasis-dispersing medicines, this prescription actually contained several highly toxic poisons! If the dosage wasn't properly controlled, it could be fatal!

But at this time he did not dare to delay and quickly packed Shu He's medicine.

Shu He went to get the medicine, but saw Cheng Qi hesitant to speak, holding the medicine bag tightly in her hand, as if she didn't want to give it to her.

"Madam, there are several poisonous herbs in your prescription. Please be careful..."

Shu He glared at him speechlessly. Could it be that she didn't know the properties of the medicine she prescribed? As soon as she pulled the medicine bag from his hand, Xiao Yi'er in her arms woke up.

"Mother..."

The soft and weak voice made Shu He's heart tremble. "Xiao Yi'er, mother is here!"

Cheng Qi also heard the sound, and only then realized that the "package" in her arms was actually a child!

"Mother, I'm in pain..."

Xiao Yier's face, which is not even as big as a palm, is full of bones, and because of her sunken eye sockets, her little face looks a little scary.

"This child, how could this happen?!" Cheng Qi curiously leaned over and found the child in her arms so emaciated that he barely looked human. What kind of experience had he gone through to become so emaciated? Moreover, even with just a glance, he could tell that the child must have been seriously injured. Otherwise, his face wouldn't be so pale, and it looked like his internal organs were damaged.

No wonder the herbs she just prepared contained many medicines for injuries and medicines for recuperation. Was she trying to cure this child?

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Yi'er, the pain will go away soon!" Shu He touched her pale face with heartache, and when she saw that she fell into a deep sleep again, she quickly wrapped her up again.

Although Cheng Qi's medical skills were not very good, he at least had a heart that wanted to help others. Seeing the child injured like this, he was also very distressed. "My wife, my master's medical skills are among the best in Yuancheng, if not the best. How about you wait a moment, I will send someone to call the master back. He will definitely be able to cure this child!"

Shu He ignored him, took the medicine and was about to leave, but just as he reached the door, he made eye contact with a constable from the government office.

"Captain Qin, I'm sorry. It was a misunderstanding. I'm sorry to bother you all making this trip." Zhang Zhirou pulled out a purse from his pocket, a look of gratitude on his face. "Just a small token of my appreciation. I'd like to invite you all to have some tea."

Captain Qin shifted his gaze away from Shu He. Although there was some doubt in his eyes, the person in front of him was General Zhang's family after all, and they could not neglect him.

"Second Miss, you are really embarrassing us. Someone reported the crime, so we came to investigate. We cannot accept your kindness. Since this is a misunderstanding, brothers, please withdraw first."

Qin Yian raised his fist towards Zhang Zhirou, and after he received the greeting from Zhang Zhirou, he led the yamen runners away.

"Oh, right," Qin Yian suddenly remembered something and turned to stop Zhang Zhirou who was about to leave: "Second Miss, a serious murder occurred in a village in the western suburbs. Seven or eight people died. The murderer is said to be a woman with a baby who has already escaped. The murderer has not been arrested yet. Ladies and gentlemen, please be careful when you go out and don't trust others easily."

"What? A woman?" Zhang Zhili was shocked and suspicious. "How could a woman with a child kill so many people?"

"I can't go into too much detail about the case, but several of the dead were strong, sturdy farmhands. This suggests the killer must be quite skilled! I'm just giving you two a heads up. If you don't have anything else to do, try to stay out as much as possible."

Zhang Zhirou's eyes flickered slightly, but her face showed no abnormality. She only thanked Qin Yian, "Thank you, Constable Qin, for reminding us. We got it."

After Qin Yian and his men left, Zhang Zhirou returned to Shouren Hall. Shu He was about to leave when she quickly asked, "Madam, can you cure my brother's stubborn illness?"

Shu He was about to refuse, but she spoke first, "It's going to snow heavily soon. My family has a farm in the eastern suburbs with excellent ground heating, which is perfect for avoiding the cold and recuperating. Would you like to go there to rest for a while?"

Shu He looked at Zhang Zhirou. Her eyes were very bright, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes were like the warm sun in winter. There was no malice in her eyes, but she was full of deep meaning.

Did she see something?

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Zhang Zhirou set her eyes on the "package" in her arms.

To Shu He's surprise, she didn't speak up to alert her of Xiao Yier's presence, as if kindly reminding her that even if she wasn't afraid of the cold, the child wouldn't be able to bear it!

Shu He lowered his eyes and made a decision, "In that case, thank you very much, Miss Zhang."

Seeing Shu He's agreement, Zhang Zhirou's eyes instantly brightened. She suppressed her excitement and said, "I'll take my wife there right away. After I inform my grandmother and brother tonight, I'll come back to look for my wife!"

Zhang Zhili felt better too, his face showing the cheerfulness and brightness of a young man. He bowed deeply to Shu He with a smile and gratitude, "Thank you so much for saving my life!"

Xiaoduo had already quietly recounted everything that had happened to Zhang Zhili. As expected, he was scolded again, feeling bitter inside: "Why is it always me who gets hurt? I don't know why that woman is so strange! Looking at her plain, skinny appearance, who would have known she was a skilled healer!"

Seeing them about to leave, Cheng Qi immediately walked up to Zhang Zhirou and reminded her that the woman had a seriously injured child in her arms...

However, before he could finish his words, Zhang Zhirou whispered, "Don't mention her pregnancy to anyone. Do you understand?"

Cheng Qi found the child by the medicine cabinet. The soldiers had already arrived, so everyone's attention was focused on the outside of the pharmacy. Cheng Qi was the only one who discovered Xiao Yi'er.

Looking at Zhang Zhirou's threatening eyes, he instantly understood what she meant and quickly said, "Don't worry, I don't know. I don't know anything..."
