Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

Madam Xian: ...

After a while, Xian Zhenghao came out of the old lady's room and looked at his unfilial son kneeling on the ground.

"Where did you get your ginseng?"

"Didn't I already tell you? I bought it on the street for 20,000 taels of silver. All my money is gone. If you're still angry, just beat me to death. I'm useless anyway, so I won't get in your way!"

Xian'an lowered his head, looking indifferent. He was superfluous in this family, and could never compare to his second uncle's son.

Xian Zhenghao was angry just looking at him, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to kick him again.

“Speak properly. That ginseng has miraculous effects. Your grandmother recovered immediately after eating it.”

"Oh?"

"Oh! Really??"

Xian'an jumped up from the ground, wincing in pain at the spot where he had been slapped.

"Dad, is my grandmother alright? Really alright?"

Although he said he didn't care, he still hoped that his beloved grandmother would get better.

He said that Rongshen Pills are made of ginseng, so how could they not be effective? The imperial physician was just exaggerating.

He broke off a ginseng root and tasted it; it was real ginseng, not fake, and it was fresh.

Xian Zhenghao nodded. "Yes, the physician is taking your pulse, which is why Father came to ask you where the ginseng came from."

Normal ginseng is available in the human body, but it doesn't have such good effects at all.

Xian'an's eyes darted around, "I just bought it because someone was selling it on the street."

Xian Zhenghao scoffed, "Idiot, I knew I couldn't count on you. It must have been a lucky accident."

"Grandmother is all better now. You've wronged me. I won't kneel anymore!"

Xian'an got up from the ground and was about to walk outside.

Madam Xian chased after her for a few steps, "An'er, you're still injured, where are you going?"

"My father doesn't like me anyway, so I'm going to move to Luming Academy ahead of schedule."

Xian'an left with a single sentence and vanished without a trace, no matter how much his mother called out to him, it was to no avail.

Xian Zhenghao was furious again.

……

……

Today's court meeting.

Lord Jiang holds the rank of fifth grade official. He gets up before dawn to attend court and hasn't finished until now.

After leaving the palace, he always felt that people were looking at him strangely.

Just as he was wondering if there was something on his face, he saw his boss walking towards him and immediately straightened his clothes.

"Your house has been quite lively lately. You must be very busy, right?"

Mr. Jiang thought his superior was just being polite, so he smiled apologetically and said he wasn't in a hurry.

I looked at him for a while last time and said, "Now that the child has been found, why make such a fuss? Aren't you just trying to make a fool of yourself? You have to cultivate yourself and manage your family. If you can't even handle your family affairs, how can you handle national affairs?"

Mr. Jiang looked bewildered, not quite understanding what he was hearing, but he grasped the general meaning: it was related to those few bastard children.

Holding his anger, Mr. Jiang returned home and hurriedly said, "Someone, quickly investigate what those little bastards have been up to."

The lamb restaurant was packed last night, which led to rumors spreading rapidly and becoming widely known.

After learning what Lin Shuyun had said at the mutton restaurant, Master Jiang was so angry that he was practically spitting fire.

"These little bastards have completely gone too far."

And that idiot Jiang Wang, what was he thinking? He got caught red-handed! If all the mess the Jiang family has made is exposed, their reputation will be completely ruined!

"Where's the old man? Didn't he go to pick someone up early this morning? Where is he?"

The only thing to do now is to bring them back as soon as possible, otherwise those bastards might cause even more trouble.

The servant replied, "Reporting to Master, the master went out early this morning and hasn't returned yet."

When Mr. Jiang heard this, he became even angrier. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, what use was his son other than being sentimental?

No one cared whether Jiang Hao was looking for help or not; Lin Shuyun only cared whether she had found a house.

It was almost lunchtime again, and Lin Shuyun and the others waited for Old Man Xu at the entrance of the restaurant.

"Old man, how's your inquiry going? Where are some yards? Let's go rent one. I have money now."

The freshly minted silver notes, twenty thousand taels should be enough to rent a large courtyard.

Xiaoqing said, "Sister Yun, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to extort money from people like this?"

"Let's not spend this money yet. That guy surnamed Xian was able to get into a place like Luming Academy through back channels, which means he's someone important. We don't want him to come back and cause us trouble!"

The Xian family produced a highly favored imperial concubine.

Xiaoqing thought about it carefully before she remembered it. At first, she just felt that the surname Xian sounded familiar.

If the Xian family investigates, Yunyun will be in trouble for spending 20,000 taels of silver on a single ginseng root.

"It's a mutually agreeable transaction, why are you making trouble for me?" Lin Shuyun waved her hand.

Other people's ginseng may not be worth 20,000 taels, but hers is absolutely worth it; buying it is a sure profit.

Old Xu, sweating profusely from running, chuckled and said, "Yun girl, you've already made money in the blink of an eye? You're really something!"

"Get out of here, you gigolo." With that, she shoved Jiang Changtian aside.

Old Xu then continued, "I just inquired at the real estate agency. There's a house not far from the academy. It's quite large, but a bit dilapidated. The annual rent is 30,000 taels."

Lin Shuyun: ...

"What kind of place is this? It's a robbery!"

Qin Niangzi chuckled.

She knew that Yunyun only had 22,000 taels of silver, and was still short 800 taels.

Lin Shuyun turned to look at everyone, "So what do we do now? We're still short eight hundred taels. Take out all the money you have on you, and I'll pay you back when I make some money."

Everyone rummaged through their pockets and finally managed to scrape together six taels and two copper coins.

Especially those two copper coins, which Gu Bao took out of his pocket.

I'm sorry, she shouldn't have expected that.

Is she going to sell some more things?

Just as she was having this thought, Madam Qin took out a thumb ring and placed it in Lin Shuyun's palm.

“This is our own home, there’s no need for you to return it. This ring I’m wearing is worth some money, I can pawn it and that should be enough.”

"Aunt, why do you have a man's ring on your body?"

Lin Shuyun looked at the thumb ring. The jade was of good quality, and it seemed to have cloud patterns inside.

"I found it on the road, so what?" Qin Niangzi said.

"It's a good thing," Old Xu asked. "Should I pawn it or not?"

“Things found are definitely pawned without being redeemed. What if they belong to a dead person? Wearing them would be bad luck.” Qin Niangzi didn’t care at all.

"Old man, go to the pawnshop."

After Lin Shuyun finished speaking, she added, "Never mind, you guys go to the place where we eat and wait for us. I'll go with the old man so he won't get bullied."

The capital city is such a big place. What if someone sees him, an old man, and has bad intentions and tries to rob him?
