Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

The man almost anticipated that the two people in front of him would not let him go easily.

While I was daydreaming, I heard a clear female voice: "Okay, see you later."

The man looked at Leng Youran in astonishment, and stammered in disbelief as he responded, "See you later..." After that, he didn't dare to delay any longer and disappeared on the spot.

Li Tianze and Leng Youran looked at the direction the man left and smiled at each other.

"Naughty, did you ask the master for some rare medicine again?"

Leng Youran smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes, I can't hide anything from you. Okay, let's go back! We have to plan carefully over the next two days how to confiscate Zhao Mingyao's secret agents."

"Well, do you want Uncle Li and the others to help?"

Leng Youran thought for a moment and shook his head. "Forget it, that's not necessary. However, have you asked Uncle Li and the others if they want to leave? There's no need for them to stay in the capital. If Zhao Mingyao really wants to take any action, An Liu and An Qi and the others should have received the news in advance. It would be better to let Uncle Li leave with them this time."

Li Tianze knew that what she said was true. Although Uncle Li and his men had been hiding in the dark for many years, since Zhao Mingyao ascended the throne, the people they had placed in the palace had long been transferred to some unimportant places.

Even if we get some news, it is all hearsay. Besides, the North really needs some people with military strength now.

"Okay, I'll ask him tomorrow. If they're willing to go to the North, let them go first."

"Well, it's up to you to handle this matter."

Early next morning

When Li Tianze came back from the city after discussing things with Uncle Li, he received a piece of news. After returning to the space, he told it to Leng Youran.

"Uncle Li and the others will leave today, and Ji Wanqing has already taken action. When I entered the city today, news had already spread from the Ji Mansion that the fifth young lady had passed away. I also heard that the little maidservant beside her had also died at her master's hands."

"Then do you know when the Ji family will bury them?"

Li Tianze sneered, "Heh, it seems that she will be buried tonight, and her coffin cannot be placed in the Ji family's ancestral tomb. If you want to take action, you can only follow their funeral procession tonight."

There was one thing he didn't say. He also heard that the Ji family thought her death would bring bad luck, and they probably wouldn't even prepare a coffin for her.

The news from the Ji Mansion was that Ji Wanqing had a bad reputation to begin with, and if she was given a grand wedding, it would only bring disgrace to the Ji family's tradition.

But there is no need to tell the little girl about this.

Moreover, if the Ji family did not use the coffin, it would be a good thing for the little girl to save Ji Wanqing. At least there would be no need to open the coffin.

Leng Youran could only sigh at this. After all, Ji Wanqing was the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but in the end, the Ji family was unwilling to even give her a funeral.

How impatient they are to bury her so soon!

Thinking of her ambitious aunt, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you heard about how her aunt is doing?"

Li Tianze shook his head. "No news. But usually no one would care when a concubine dies. So even if that concubine has been dealt with, people outside wouldn't get the news. It's normal for one or two people to die in the backyard. If she really died, her fate would definitely be worse than Ji Wanqing's."

He knew that the little girl asked this question not because she really cared about Aunt Lian.

So when talking about her fate, there was no hesitation at all.

"Tsk tsk tsk... The woman in the backyard is so pitiful. Tell me, your future backyard..." Leng Youran hadn't finished speaking when Li Tianze covered her mouth.

"Without a backyard, you alone are enough."

Leng Youran raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to free her mouth from his big hand. "Tsk, men's mouths are deceitful. Who knows whether what you say is true or false?"

When You Xian came out of the pharmacy, he happened to hear her words and immediately said bluntly, "Don't worry, little disciple. If he dares to do you wrong, I will prepare a medicine for you to ensure that this guy will not be interested in other women at all."

Leng Youran's face turned red when he said such blunt words.

My goodness, can you even talk about this?

Master, if there really is such medicine, he should give it to her secretly!

Is it really okay to just say it out loud like this?

"Ahem, that's not necessary, Master. I've prepared your antidote!"

The medicine given to that person last night was similar to the one given to the two people last time. Both would leave some special smell, but that was prepared by You Xian in an emergency.

Therefore, the antidote needs to be prepared again. You Xian has been busy preparing the antidote since he got up in the morning. The fact that he can come out now must mean that it has been prepared.

You Xian threw the medicine bottle in his hand to her. Leng Youran took it and was about to open it and smell it when she was stopped by You Xian.

"Open this medicine when you're ready to use it. Once you open it, the effectiveness will be halved, and it might not be as accurate."

After saying this, he took out another medicine bottle from his arms. This time, he didn't throw it to her. Instead, he walked over to her, sat down, and handed it to her. "This is the antidote to the fake death drug that the girl from the Ji family used. I just heard that the girl from the Ji family has already taken action. I'll give you this antidote now!"

Leng Youran took it and said flatteringly, "Hey, it's good to have a master. He thinks of everything for me."

You Xian rolled his eyes at her. "Hmph, I really do owe you a lot, and you even said you'd let me take care of you in my old age. Looks like you're just trying to squeeze every last bit of value out of me!"

Since he came to the other world, he has been studying medicine besides the Book of Changes. Now, the Book of Changes is no longer useful, and his medical skills have been drained by his young apprentice.

And she always comes up with some weird ideas for him to tinker with.

Fortunately, she has so many medicinal herbs for him to treat, otherwise...

Li Tianze watched the old man and the young boy bickering as usual. He didn't dare to say anything. After all, he hadn't said anything just now, and his master was about to drug him. If he interrupted, it would probably not be as simple as drugging.

But just because he doesn’t say anything doesn’t mean everything is fine!

Bu Youxian's gaze fell on him.

"Li boy, why don't you say anything? Are you doubting my medical skills and want to try the medicine I just mentioned?"

Li Tianze couldn't nod or shake his head, so he could only imitate Leng Youran's flattering manner and said, "Master, how could that be! Regardless of whether you drugged me or not, I only have Youyou in my heart. This is a fact that no one can change."

You Xian rolled his eyes. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe him, but men in this world were so fickle. When they couldn’t get what they wanted, everything seemed good. Who knew what it would be like when they got it?
