After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Two days later, Yan Liang sent someone to invite Rong Su over.

As soon as she entered the lobby, she saw Yan Liang already sitting in the main seat. When he saw her coming, he extended his hand and invited her to take a seat.

Rong Su lowered her eyes, then walked over and sat opposite Yan Liang.

At this time, two maids brought teacups and some cakes and placed them neatly on the table.

Yan Liang's expression was indifferent. He reached out to pour her some tea before looking up at her: "Doctor Rong, please."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Rong Su didn't rush. She raised her hand, took the teacup, and took a sip. It was sweet and bitter, and a lingering aftertaste spread as it entered her throat.

"This tea has a rich flavor and a fresh aftertaste. It is a good tea."

Yan Liang smiled slightly and said, "If Doctor Rong likes it, I will have someone send some to you."

She put down the teacup, knowing that Yan Liang must have something to talk to her about, so she didn't respond. Instead, she said, "City Lord Yan must have something to talk to me about. Why not just say it? I'm not a tea lover. You can give this good tea to someone who loves it."

Yan Liang paused, his expression becoming more serious. "Since Doctor Rong asked, I'll be frank. Doctor Rong and your friends didn't come in through the main gate of the mining city, did they? Your names and pass certificates aren't registered in the register."

Such a long time has passed, but Yan Liang still brought up this matter. This inevitably made Rong Su feel confused. He should no longer be the kind of person who cares about this matter.

After thinking about it, Rong Su felt that since he cared about her, he would naturally not hide anything. After all, she was now working with him on something, so she absolutely could not hide anything.

"Yes, the city lord urgently sealed the city gates due to his lung disease. My group was forced to do so, and we wanted to save the people of the mining town from danger, so we had no choice but to take a risk and take a side road into the city. If the city lord intends to hold me accountable, I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Rong Su explained the matter sincerely, then stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Yan Liang to admit his mistake.

After hearing what she said, Yan Liang's expression softened a little, because what she said was for the people and to save lives, so it was understandable that she did so.

He was silent for a long time, and then he picked up the dignity of a master again, as if he could escape the death penalty but could not escape the living punishment.

"I've seen everything Doctor Rong has done for the people of Mining City. It's neither moral nor logical for me to hold you accountable for such a small matter. It's just that laws and regulations govern human behavior. If no one takes the rules seriously, then once someone learns about this, there will be no order without rules. I hope Doctor Rong will understand."

Yan Liang told Rong Su about his difficulties, and Rong Su also understood how difficult it was for him to be the lord of a city.

He nodded, expressing his understanding. "I understand what the City Lord means. He can hold me accountable in any way he wishes. I certainly won't complain at all."

"Okay. I thank Doctor Rong for your understanding. Later I will send someone to post a notice to make your accountability public for everyone to see, so as to prevent anyone from causing trouble with this matter in the future." Yan Liang was grateful to Rong Su for her tolerance. He couldn't help but admire her and had a little more respect for her.

"There's no need to thank me, City Lord. We entered the city in the wrong way at the beginning, and we deserve the punishment. But, the City Lord shouldn't have invited me here just for this matter?" Rong Su shook her head. She felt that it was right to admit one's mistakes and there was nothing to complain about. But she also thought that Yan Liang should have said more than just this one thing.

She had her doubts in her heart, but she also had some ideas. The incident that happened to her mother a few days ago gave her some guesses.

Perhaps Yan Liang has discovered something.

Yan Liang extended his hand and invited her to sit down again. She didn't say anything, but sat down and waited for him to give her an answer.

As expected, what Yan Liang wanted to talk about seemed to be about Yin Niang. When he talked about this, his brows unconsciously frowned slightly, as if this matter was more suspicious than he had imagined.

"My mother is dead. When the people I sent found her, she had already died a long time ago. We found her in a small forest outside the city."

Upon hearing the news, Rong Su's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

The masked men rescued her because they originally thought that the people behind Yin Niang saw that Yin Niang's deeds were exposed, and they captured her to prevent them from finding her through Yin Niang.

Now that Yin Niang is dead, perhaps that person never thought of letting Yin Niang live from the beginning.

Seeing Rong Su was surprised for a moment, and then seemed to regain her composure, Yan Liang couldn't help but wonder, "Did Doctor Rong come up with something?"

Seeing him asking her, Rong Su shook her head and said calmly, "Some things can be known even without thinking too much. Since my mother's actions have been exposed, the people behind her will definitely not leave any survivors. No matter how much a living person guarantees not to reveal the secret, they are still not as reliable as a dead person."

Yan Liang naturally understood what Rong Su had analyzed. After he knew that Yin Niang had passed away, he did not show much surprise. He was just puzzled about the purpose of the person behind Yin Niang.

They were silent for a while, and Yan Liang took out another letter, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of her.

Seeing the letter, Rong Su looked at Yan Liang with a puzzled look. Yan Liang saw her doubt and explained, "This letter was found by my people under Yin Niang's bed in her bedroom. Yin Niang kept it because she probably wanted to be able to ask her backers for money later."

She reached out and took the letter, opened it and saw that there were only a few lines of words on it.

If you destroy the reputation of the medicine soup, you can get 100 taels of gold, and you must pay a deposit of 50 taels of silver first.

Just these three lines of words blinded Yin Niang's eyes. She was indeed blinded by greed. For her own selfish interests, she even targeted her husband.

After sighing a little, Rong Su looked up at Yan Liang, wanting to ask something else: "I wonder if the City Lord has found any other clues?"

Yan Liang shook his head slightly, as if troubled by the matter. "Apart from finding this letter and the fifty taels of silver hidden in the secret wall of Yin Niang's bedroom, we haven't found anything else. I guess that person was very meticulous in his work. If Yin Niang didn't have greater ambitions, there might not even be this letter."

After hearing this, Rong Su lowered her eyes. What benefit would it bring to the person who ordered Yin Niang to frame Yao Tang and ruin Yao Tang's reputation?

The man was able to send a number of masked men to kidnap Yin Niang. From this, we can see that this person must have some status. And he was able to promise to give Yin Niang a hundred taels of gold afterwards, which further shows that this person is a rich and powerful person.

The medicinal soup was a recipe she and Gu Yun had researched together, and there was no other way. In public, Gu Yun had never emphasized that he had also contributed to the research of the medicinal soup. Although she would sometimes explain Gu Yun's contribution to the people, Gu Yun told her not to emphasize it deliberately.

Therefore, many people thought that the medicinal soup belonged to her alone. Once the reputation of the medicinal soup was damaged, the people in the mining city would no longer trust her and would not be willing to take the medicinal soup, and the lung disease would spread further in the mining city.

Realizing something, Rong Su frowned. The person who wanted to destroy the medicinal soup either had a grudge against her or had a problem with the mining city.

"City Lord, what is the current relationship between Mining City and Sanzhou?"

Yan Liang hadn't expected Rong Su to bring this up, but after she asked, he seemed to understand something: "Doctor Rong, do you suspect someone in Sanzhou is planning to destroy the mining city?"

She pondered for a moment. After all, she was just a doctor who treated illnesses. It would be better for her not to interfere in the affairs of the court and the countries.

After all, she hasn't even avenged her own hatred yet, so it's better for her to stay out of other people's business.

After carefully considering her words, Rong Su replied calmly, "I think the City Lord has his own judgment on this matter, so I won't say anything more. I think it's getting late, and I should go back to Huimenxuan. In another half month, I think my lung disease will be under control."

As she spoke, she stood up, bowed to Yan Liang, and intended to leave.

Yan Liang knew that Rong Su was holding back in what she said, but he also understood her. This matter had nothing to do with her. He said this to her just to make her pay attention. Now they were temporarily in the same boat. If the boat capsized, she would also be implicated.

"Okay, then take care, Doctor Rong." He also stood up and watched Rong Su leave.

Rong Su nodded, turned and left.

Even after Rong Su disappeared through the door, Yan Liang stared at her back for a long time, muttering softly, "Her back really does look like that person. Rong Su."

Two days later, Yan Liang did post a notice and held Rong Su accountable.

As punishment, Rong Su was asked to personally plant herbs that were useful in curing lung disease for the people in the mining city, while also having to take care of curing the people.

In her opinion, such punishment was a piece of cake, but when Gu Yuer found out, she started cursing and speaking up for her.

"How could City Lord Yan Liang be so heartless! Sister Rong has done so much for the people of Mining City, isn't that enough to make up for sneaking into the city? How despicable that the lord of a city can be so stingy!"

"Yu'er. How can you say such things?" Gu Yun scolded Gu Yu'er in a low voice.

Gu Yuer snorted angrily, crossed her arms over her chest, and her face turned red with anger. Obviously, she was the one who was blamed for this matter, but Gu Yuer felt unhappy as if she was the one who was blamed.

"Brother, am I wrong? Sister Rong worked so hard to cure her lung disease, I saw it all. If the city lord didn't see it, he must be blind, or he's just cruel! Also, why is he only blaming Sister Rong? We were all the ones who sneaked into the city, so why didn't he punish us all together?"

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Rong Su couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she spoke up for Yan Liang, "Alright, Yu'er. It was I who asked City Lord Yan to do this."

Gu Yuer pursed her lips, feeling sorry for Rong Su. She walked over to her, put her arms around her, and said softly, "Sister Rong, I'll go plant herbs with you tomorrow. You're not the only one at fault. We shouldn't let you bear all the blame."

"Yes. Tomorrow, I will also plant with Asu." Gu Yun agreed with Gu Yuer and looked at her.

"I'll go too." Yulan said softly, her eyes falling on her cautiously.

Shen Peiqing glanced at Rong Su, and when she seemed to be looking at him, he immediately looked away and said in a muffled voice, "Since I also had a hand in sneaking into the city, I will naturally not run away and let you, a woman, bear all the responsibility. Shitou, you come too."

Shitou naturally wouldn't refuse Shen Peiqing's words, and nodded: "Yes, Master."

Seeing everyone like this, it was hard for Rong Su not to feel any waves in her heart. Even the coldest heart should have a trace of warmth flowing through it.

"If everyone follows me to plant herbs, who will be left to look after the people of Huimenxuan?"

Rong Su did not intend to refuse their help, but the more important matter was not her being held accountable and punished, but the lung disease of the people in the mining city.

When this was mentioned, they looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing Gu Yun about to speak, Shen Peiqing spoke first, "How about this, Gu Yun, you know a lot about pharmacology, so you naturally have your own experience and insights in growing herbs. Go help Rong Su. The people here are almost all well now. They just need to boil the medicine every day and watch them take the medicine. These things are simple. With me, Shitou, Yulan, and Yu'er, we can take care of it."

As soon as these words were spoken, they attracted a lot of attention.

Seeing that they were all looking at him, Shen Peiqing frowned and said coldly: "Am I wrong? I want to help, but I am not familiar with herbs. If I can't plant them well, it would be a waste of time. Shitou is just as unfamiliar with pharmacology as I am."

What he said was true, but he just promised to help, but changed his mind the next moment. He really behaved like a young master.

Naturally, no one would comment on this, after all, what Shen Peiqing said made sense.

Yulan then said silently: "I can go and help. I can recognize herbs."

Originally, Gu Yuer felt strange about Shen Peiqing's sudden change of personality, but when she thought about how he gave the opportunity to his brother, she felt that it was a good relationship.

Seeing Yulan speak, Gu Yuer immediately walked to Yulan with a smile, hugged her arm, and spoke eagerly.

"To take care of the people, we also need someone who knows pharmacology. I'm a lazy person and I'm not as serious about studying pharmacology as Sister Yulan. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone, so Sister Yulan, can you stay with me in Huimenxuan?"

Having said that, Yulan seemed to want to follow Rong Su's wishes but couldn't show it on her face, so she could only nod in agreement.

The tasks were divided up in such a short time that Rong Su was a little slow to react. But that was fine, as she didn't have to waste time making arrangements herself.

Gu Yun didn't seem to refuse, but just looked at her and asked for her opinion: "A Su, what do you think?"

According to her principle of "less trouble is more trouble", she was sure there was no problem: "Let's do it this way."

Seeing that she agreed, Gu Yun's eyes unconsciously showed a hint of tenderness, and his smile could not be hidden.

Rong Su didn't notice, but Shen Peiqing saw it. He turned around silently and said, "Then it's decided. I'll go to Huimenxuan first."

When Shi Tou saw that his master had left, he naturally hurried to follow.

When he caught up, he clearly felt that his master was in a bad mood, even a little depressed.

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, you clearly don't want Miss Rong and Master Gu to grow herbs together, so why did you make this arrangement?"

Shen Peiqing paused slightly, then continued walking forward.

"It's not about whether I want to do it or not, but whether I should do it or not. Since I promised Gu Yun, I will definitely help him. If the two of them can get along better than she and I get along, that's great. As for me, I have too many things entangled in my own affairs. After all, I am not suitable for her."

Shi Tou understood what Shen Peiqing meant. After hearing this, he said nothing more. No matter what decision Shen Peiqing made, he would support it.
