No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

"This Hibiscus Cream is very deceptive. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with poison," Lin Mingyan said with a frown. "And it does calm and relieve pain. People only see the effects, not the consequences."

"Not to mention the gold and jade-encrusted pipe, it's so trendy."

But who could have imagined that such a trend would turn into those shocking black and white photos in history books later?

The Fourth Master also knew the seriousness of the problem, and he thought even more: "This medicine can't have appeared for no reason. There must be someone with ulterior motives behind it."

Lin Mingyan certainly thought so too. After all, opium has been used in medicine since ancient times to relieve pain.

Including some plasters and loquat paste.

But this use is different from fully refined opium.

This golden refined opium requires technology to produce and is purely used to harm people.

It has no therapeutic effect. If you use it as medicine for a course of treatment, you will become addicted to smoking opium.

Like before, Nara was drugged, but she managed to quit using her willpower.

But after quitting, her perception of pleasure or happiness almost disappeared.

Lin Mingyan thought about it and thought that this was the reason why she ignored Hongyu.

She had lost all sense of her own body, let alone family affection.

Lin Mingyan didn't know if there were Western scheming people behind the opium, so she could only ask the Fourth Master to send someone to investigate...

Yuzhuang.

The empty house of Widow Wang welcomed a new tenant. When Elder Yu brought the tenant over, she felt a little nervous.

The last time she rented a house, she was really scared.

She looked at the group of people, pulled the Yu clan elder aside and asked quietly, "Uncle Yu, have you found out everything about this group of people? They're not here to cause trouble, are they?"

Elder Yu’s eyes widened, and he lowered his voice and said, “Of course, this is a miracle doctor!”

"Unlike others, he came to the village to treat us."

"It's your good fortune to have him staying at your house today!"

If it were someone else, they would certainly be overjoyed.

But Widow Wang is different. She has an apprentice named Wang Xiaohua at home.

She had been an apprentice at Miaorentang for several years and had already learned many skills.

Whenever anyone in her family had a minor illness or pain, she would treat it herself.

But Wang Xiaohua had not yet completed her training, so of course she did not dare to treat people outside casually. Therefore, she was unable to help other people in the village if they wanted her to treat them.

As a result, the villagers of Yuzhuang still rely on barefoot doctors for medical treatment.

Now a miracle doctor comes to treat everyone, so of course everyone is happy.

Elder Yu also warned: "I know your Xiaohua is capable, but you can't neglect this miracle doctor."

"This is an opportunity I begged for your family at the cost of my dignity. It will make you feel more at ease if I can earn some money."

Widow Wang certainly knew what was right and wrong. After all, although the family debt had been almost paid off, her three sons were still waiting to get married.

The eldest brother is not young anymore, so we have to save some money to find him a wife first.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle. I will definitely treat them as distinguished guests!" Widow Wang felt relieved now.

After all, although she didn't want to see a miracle doctor, she still felt a natural sense of closeness to doctors who had the same profession as her daughter.

The two of them chirped for a long time, while the miracle doctor and his group waited calmly.

This made Widow Wang have a much better impression of them, so she smiled and went over to say hello.

"What's your name, Master Doctor?" Widow Wang had become more experienced in speaking and doing things since she had received the last wave of tenants.

A young apprentice-looking man on the other side replied, "This is our Divine Doctor Wu."

"Doctor Wu, please come in," Widow Wang began to praise her house. "I clean this house every day. It's spotless."

"If you're not satisfied, you can spend another ten cents and I'll clean it up again in front of you."

Of course, Doctor Wu didn't care about the money, and asked his apprentice to pay immediately.

Widow Wang immediately picked up the broom and rag and went to work.

Elder Yu said a few words to Doctor Wu before leaving.

Widow Wang took out all the benches in the room, cleaned them, and said to them, "Please sit down and have some tea."

The tea was left by the previous tenant. She had kept it for several years and was reluctant to use it. This time it finally came in handy.

"It will take a while to clean up, please wait~~" After saying that, she went back into the house to work.

Divine Doctor Wu drank the tea served by his disciples and relaxed his brows. "How can such good tea be found in this small village? It's a pity that it's old, so the taste is a little off."

When the young apprentices heard their master say that the tea was good, they quickly picked up a cup and drank it.

The round-faced young disciple who had just spoken said, "I heard that some village women go up the mountain to pick wild tea and keep it for themselves. This tea is even better than the ones sold here."

Doctor Wu slapped him on the head: "Fool, this is the capital, where did the wild tea trees come from?!"

He glanced at Widow Wang who was busy in the house, and made sure that she couldn't hear them talking at this distance.

Then he whispered, "We'll stay in this village for ten days. After we give most people medicine, we'll head south to another place."

Wu Cai said, "Master, will it be effective if we give it little by little?"

"Although this thing is not good, it is very valuable. If we give it away here and there, won't we lose money?"

Doctor Wu stroked his beard and said, "What's a little loss up front?"

"Once they become addicted, they will sell their houses, land, and children to beg us to buy drugs."

"That's when we'll be making a fortune."

"But..." Wu Cai wanted to say something else.

There was a "bang" sound in the room, followed by Widow Wang's exclamation: "Oh my, my basin~~~"

Doctor Wu and the others immediately stood up alertly, forming a siege and surrounding the house.

Widow Wang inside quickly opened the door and came out, holding a wooden basin filled with water in her hand.

"Oh, great doctors, why don't you sit down?" There was a moment of panic on Widow Wang's face.

Doctor Wu narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

Widow Wang sighed and said exaggeratedly, "Ouch, I accidentally knocked over the basin, and the water spilled all over my feet."

"But don't worry, it'll only take a short while. I'll get some water and we'll be done in no time!"

After saying that, he ran to the well to fetch water as if he was afraid they were about to leave. When he came back, he quickly cleaned the place.

Doctor Wu and the others then said, "Fry a pot of meat for us tonight and steam a basket of steamed buns."

Widow Wang took the money and said awkwardly, "The steamed buns are easy to get, but I need to go buy the meat now."

"Why don't you go quickly?" Wu Cai glared at her.

After hearing this, Widow Wang turned and ran away...
