He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

The medicinal herb market in Ning County is just a small market.

Villagers from nearby villages occasionally go up the mountain to dig up medicinal herbs and then come here to sell them.

An Wuyang strolled around the market, looking at the common medicinal herbs, which were not plentiful.

Just when An Wuyang thought he was going to leave disappointed, he suddenly saw a small stall in an inconspicuous corner.

The stall owner was a boy who looked to be no more than ten years old, and coincidentally, he was an acquaintance.

"Tiger, you're here to sell medicinal herbs too?"

An Wuyang walked over and squatted down in front of Hu Zi.

Tiger turned his head away, seemingly unwilling to speak to An Wuyang.

"I'm asking you a question! Answer me right now!"

"If you dare to keep quiet again, I'll rip your tongue out!"

Yan Yan stepped forward, holding a small sword in her hand, and placed it in front of Hu Zi.

Tiger looked up and saw the short sword in Yan Yan's hand. Instead of being afraid, he was filled with envy.

Looking up again, he saw Yan Yan's tightly furrowed face. Hu Zi scratched the back of his head a few times and grinned foolishly for no reason.

"Speak up!"

Only then did he look at An Wuyang.

“My mother said you have it tough, taking care of such a big family all by yourself. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. My mother said she would do whatever she can to help you.”

At this point, Tiger suddenly hardened his expression again: "But if you want to take me back to apologize to Rean, I'd rather you kill me than bow my head!"

Tiger's eyes were full of disdain when he mentioned Rean.

Yan Yan's expression improved, and she sheathed her sword before saying to Hu Zi, "You've got it wrong. My sister wants to buy your things."

Yan Yan looked unusually spirited, like a little bodyguard protecting An Wuyan.

Tiger's originally sullen expression suddenly brightened after hearing Yan Yan's words, and he stared at An Wuyang with wide eyes.

"Who in your family is sick again?"

“My mother said that if you need medicine, just pick it up.”

"Do you recognize these herbs? I'll tell you about them one by one. This is deer antler, this is ginseng..."

The medicinal herbs in front of Tiger's stall weren't of very good quality. An Wuyang listened carefully, and after he finished his introduction, he took out two wilted weeds from the stall.

Where did you find this?

Upon seeing this, Tiger's face immediately turned disappointed.

"These are weeds, they're everywhere in the field, nobody wants them!"

"This stuff is poisonous; eating it will give you diarrhea!"

Tiger snatched the herbs from An Wuyang's hand and threw them aside.

An Wuyang's eyes flickered slightly. This herb is called Guanzhong, which is cold in nature and slightly poisonous. It grows in Songhua County and Ning County, which are places with bitterly cold winters.

Normally, it is indeed a weed that can be seen everywhere.

But a few months later in my previous life, after winter arrived, a great plague struck, and people inexplicably developed fevers and died in large numbers.

A renowned healer once published a prescription for treating this ailment, the main ingredients of which were forsythia, honeysuckle, isatis root, patchouli, houttuynia cordata, and dryopteris crassirhizoma.

Due to the slightly toxic nature of Dryopteris crassirhizoma, it is not a commonly used medicinal material. Furthermore, since it was already winter and the Ning County area was covered in heavy snow, the whole country was searching for Dryopteris crassirhizoma but could not find it, which resulted in its medicinal properties being halved.

Until the following summer, Luo Qingfan led his men back to Ning County to collect a large quantity of *Guanzhong* (a type of medicinal herb). What was originally an inconspicuous weed had become a valuable medicine, and Luo Qingfan made a fortune.

Now that An Wuyang has made up her mind to seize the medicinal herb market and stabilize the price of herbs in the next few months, she has resolutely decided to start buying up large quantities of Dryopteris crassirhizoma.

An Wuyang gave Hu Zi two coins and told him to buy some snacks. As for the rest, An Wuyang planned to discuss it with his father-in-law when he got back.

The main expense was the money for purchasing medicinal herbs, which she often had to pay for herself.

Just then, Yan Juzhi handed over the money bag.

"I'll invest too!"

"Just name a price for the herbs, and I'll cover it!"

Yan Juzhi kept his gaze fixed on Yan Yan and didn't even glance at An Wuyang's face.

Perhaps it was because of the hot weather, but Yan Juzhi's face was flushed red from the sun.

Yan Yan also laughed out loud: "Yan'er wants to invest too!"

After saying that, she took out her small purse and handed it to An Wuyang.

"Don't worry, sister, brother can afford any amount of money. You can buy whatever you want!"

"But Yan'er must also contribute!"

An Wuyang was amused by Yan Yan's appearance. The two of them had no idea what An Wuyang was going to do, yet they were willing to spend money.

However, she seriously considered the feasibility of Yan Juzhi's involvement.

Although this person is eccentric, he is fair in matters of state and can be considered a good partner.

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk this over!"

An Wuyang did not refuse, her face full of seriousness.

Yan Juzhi's expression softened slightly, and a smile even appeared where no one could see it.

Just as An Wuyang and his two companions were about to find a quiet place to rest, they saw Wang Shi walking towards them, supported by her maid.

The two sides collided head-on, and Wang's expression changed drastically.

"Mrs. An, why aren't you at home taking care of your husband and children? What are you doing here?"

Wang Shi began with a rebuke, then turned her gaze to Yan Juzhi's face. She saw that Yan Juzhi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and anger flowed from her eyes.
