The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

"Sister Hua, let's just be honest...wouldn't it be better for us to live our own lives after escaping from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion?" Lin Wanru said with a look of panic on her face.

Shen Qionghua shook her head.

"It's useless. Let's not talk about whether Prince An will let us go. Even if we escape, when Prince An ascends the throne in the future, Yongning Hou will definitely look for us given how much he loves my mother."

"Rather than facing the powerful Marquis Yongning in the future and being powerless, it is better to join Prince Rui from now on and support him to become the crown prince."

"In this way, maybe there will be a chance to avenge my father in the future."

When mentioning her dead husband, Lin Wanru's words of objection got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.

Shen Qionghua patted Lin Wanru's hand soothingly, with a determined look in his eyes.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely protect you and Ayi, and I will also avenge father!"

Seeing that Shen Qionghua was so stubborn, Lin Wanru knew that it was useless to persuade her anymore, so she left with a lot on her mind.

Day two.

After Shen Qionghua had breakfast, she asked An Yi to take her to Donglai Pavilion.

Pei Liangchuan was counting his own small treasury when he heard a knock on the door and hurriedly put the box away.

Then he sat upright on the stool and coughed lightly.

"Come in."

Shen Qionghua pushed the door open and walked in.

"It's been a while since we last met. How is Doctor Pei?"

When Pei Liangchuan saw that it was Shen Qionghua, he immediately stood up and said flatteringly: "Thanks to Miss Shen, I eat well, sleep well, and everything is fine."

Shen Qionghua sat down on the stool and nodded after hearing this: "That's good."

Pei Liangchuan rubbed his hands, his eyes shining with gold.

"Miss Shen, what's the matter with you coming to me?"

A smile appeared on Shen Qionghua's lips.

"Yes, I have something to trouble Dr. Pei."

Pei Liangchuan narrowed his eyes into a slit and waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's no trouble, it's no trouble. Miss Shen and I are friends. It's my honor to help Miss Shen."

"In that case, I'll be frank. I'm going out soon and need to prepare some medicine for self-defense and treatment. I wonder if Doctor Pei has any?" Shen Qionghua asked.

"There are many kinds of medicine for self-defense and treatment. I wonder which one Miss Shen needs?"

Shen Qionghua pondered for a moment and said, "Medicine to keep away poisonous insects, snakes and ants, medicine to treat external injuries, and medicine that can immediately keep people awake after being drugged or aphrodisiac."

"If Doctor Pei has any, please give me one." Shen Qionghua said with a wave of his hand.

Pei Liangchuan was so happy that he almost jumped up from the stool, but he still said with a little reserve: "These medicines are also available in other pharmacies. Isn't it a bit too wasteful for Miss Shen to buy them from me?"

"My stuff is more than ten times more expensive than outside."

Shen Qionghua chuckled and said, "Although these medicines are also available in other pharmacies, Dr. Pei's medicines are more effective than those in other pharmacies."

She has never been short of money, so naturally she would choose the best one.

Pei Liangchuan tilted his head and snapped his fingers proudly.

"Ms. Shen is indeed a businesswoman, she knows what she's talking about."

He stood up and took out a large basket from the cabinet. He opened it and saw many medicine bottles scattered inside.

Pei Liangchuan took a look at all the medicines and after confirming that they were correct, he gave them all to Shen Qionghua.

"These are what you need."

Shen Qionghua took it and handed over the box that she had prepared early in the morning.

When Pei Liangchuan opened it, his smile widened.

Wow, that's really generous!

From this moment on, Pei Liangchuan made a decision in his heart: even if he could detoxify Xie Nanyuan, he would still stay in the capital.

He had a hunch that Miss Shen would definitely patronize his business frequently in the future.

Employers as generous as Miss Shen are rare in the world!

Shen Qionghua left Donglai Pavilion holding a basket of medicine bottles. After returning to Yunmengxuan, she found Shaoyao.

"Peony, where is the jade belt that my father gave me?"

"Miss, are you talking about the one that Master gave you for your birthday?"

"Yes, that's the one!"

"I'll get it for you!" Shaoyao walked towards the storeroom and came back with a jade belt in a short while.

Shen Qionghua took the belt and looked at it. It had a sky-blue base and was made up of small square pieces of Hetian white jade. It felt warm to the touch.

This was a birthday gift her father gave her on her thirteenth birthday. It looked like an ordinary belt, but there was something else hidden inside.

Each jade piece is hollow inside and can be removed individually.

When her father gave her this belt, she just thought it was a quirky little gadget, but she never thought it would come in handy now.

Shen Qionghua opened the medicine bottle she bought from Pei Liangchuan and poured a portion of each medicine into the jade block.

Then he handed the belt to Shaoyao and instructed, "I will wear this belt on the day of the royal hunting party."

"Yes, Miss." Shaoyao bowed and then put the belt away.

Time soon came to the day of the royal hunting.

Early in the morning, Shen Qionghua finished washing up and went to Lanquan Garden.

Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Lingfu have arrived.

Seeing Shen Qionghua had also arrived, Lin stood up and took the three of them out of the house.

Lin rode in a carriage alone, while Shen Qionghua, Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Lingfu rode in another carriage and went to the city gate to meet up with the families of other ministers.

As for Marquis Yongning, he left his mansion early in the morning and went to the imperial palace.

On the carriage.

Zhou Lingfu looked at the beautiful Shen Qionghua, twisting the handkerchief in her hand tightly, her eyes full of anger.

"You really have good tactics."

At this moment, Zhou Lingfu felt that the eldest wife was really going too far!

Only the families of noble families and important officials can participate in the hunting. My father is a fifth-rank official and is not qualified to participate. Even I can only go because the marquis's mansion has not yet been divided and I am the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

My mother had thought about going there many years ago, but was rejected by Lin.

Since even my father couldn't go, how could my mother, as my father's wife, go to the royal hunting trip without my father's permission?

The mother was furious, but what Lin said made sense, so she had no choice but to stay in the house obediently.

Now, my mother, as the second wife of the Yongning Marquisate, cannot go, but a distant relative like Shen Qionghua, who comes from a merchant family, can go.

How could she swallow this?
