Chapter 500: Changes in the Capital City
Fang Nanzhi stuck out her tongue. Wasn’t she having too much fun to notice?
Fortunately, the little girl had a good memory, and with Qin Yan's help, they had finished memorizing the article by the time they arrived at the provincial capital.
The family was too tired from the car ride and had no mood to cook, so they put their luggage away and went out to eat something on the roadside.
Qin Yan was going to the provincial school, and Fang Nanzhi was going to the pharmacy, but the brother and sister had not gone far when they were stopped by a carriage.
Su Qingya was helped down by the maid. After not seeing her for just three days, she had become much thinner and her face was very pale.
She looked at the brother and sister, hatred and jealousy in her eyes, which she suppressed and turned into humiliation.
The brother and sister looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Su Qingya bowed solemnly towards the two of them and said, "Fang Nanzhi, last time, I harbored evil intentions and acted viciously. I was wrong. Please forgive me."
While she was speaking, a maid came down with two large food boxes and walked them forward, which was obviously an apology.
Fang Qingya raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
This time she didn't call me sister or younger sister, and her attitude in admitting her mistake was very sincere. However, this is too weird.
She was very curious about what had happened in the past three days that caused her to undergo such a transformation.
Qin Yan's expression was calm. He glanced at the crowd that was about to gather to watch the excitement and spoke coldly.
"Miss Su, are you forcing my sister to forgive you in public?"
Su Qingya was stunned. She didn't mean that. At least this time, she didn't dare to have any thoughts.
"I didn't, Brother Qin Yan. After all, we were from the same village. You shouldn't have misunderstood me like this."
Her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice. But she didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that the news of their previous engagement would reach the ears of Prince Ning.
Disgust flashed in Qin Yan's eyes. He disliked her hypocritical behavior.
He was disgusted by the fact that he always acted like a victim in front of others despite having done so many bad things.
"Since there isn't one, then get out of the way."
Qin Yan pulled his sister's sleeve, as if he was about to leave.
Embarrassment flashed across Su Qingya's face. She had already been so humble, and Qin Yan and the others were just peasants, yet they dared not give her face.
No matter how vicious her thoughts were, she didn't show it on her face and could only push him away with her maid.
Perhaps because of Su Qingya, Qin Yan was a little worried and sent his sister to the pharmacy first.
He patted the little girl's head and said, "Take her pulse carefully. We can talk about the rest when we get back tonight."
"I know." Fang Nanzhi dodged back and pouted, "Brother, I'm already a big boy, you can't touch my head anymore."
Qin Yan smiled gently: "Okay."
After watching the little girl jump into Jishiditang, Qin Yan turned around and went to the provincial school.
Jishidiang is particularly busy today, with many more patients.
In particular, there were a dozen or so people wearing yamen runners' uniforms.
Fang Nanzhi was a little stunned. What was going on? The government office was on holiday, and they wanted the bailiffs to come and take the pulse together?
"Zhizhi, why are you standing there? Come and help me?" the shopkeeper called out in a bad mood.
"Oh." Fang Nanzhi quickly rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and went to help get the medicine.
Together with two other medicine boys, they worked for two hours before they finished seeing all the patients at Jishidiang.
She twisted her arms and legs to stretch them, wondering, "Who beat those yamen runners? They're all being given medicine for injuries."
"You do not know?"
The shopkeeper had come behind the counter at some point and was checking the inventory. He glanced at her when he heard this.
Fang Nanzhi shook her head honestly. She had just returned from the village.
"Isn't it to catch the assassin? It is said that a distinguished person from Huai'an Prefecture came and was assassinated."
"Lord Lin personally led the troops to capture the assassin, but he didn't expect the assassin to have several locations. For the past three days, there have been injured yamen runners every day."
"Ten more people died."
Fang Nanzhi widened his eyes. Is it so scary?
Then Huai'an Prefecture is full of assassins. Isn't it very dangerous?
"Boss, it's so dangerous now, are you still opening your shop?"
The shopkeeper raised his hand and slapped her on the head: "Nonsense, how can the pharmacy be closed at a time like this?"
All the pharmacies on this street have to be open.
"Besides, it's not that dangerous. The assassins didn't dare to cause trouble in the city."
Fang Nanzhi blinked, not quite understanding.
The shopkeeper glanced at the door of the shop and saw that no one had come in. He lowered his voice and said, "It is said that their leader, well, he is also a big shot, was detained by the government office and is also involved with the Deyi County Prince's Mansion."
Fang Nanzhi covered his chest with his hands, surprised: "So everyone in the Prince's Mansion was imprisoned as well?"
I don't think the whole city will be exiled or beheaded, right?
This is how the storybook is written.
That's such a pity, she had just cured the prince not long ago.
The master also planned to make the prince famous after she resumed interacting with others.
There is also the Prince of a County. Although he is full of schemes, he is not a bad person. It is quite miserable for him to be imprisoned.
"Hush, hush, hush, little ancestor, don't dare to talk nonsense. How serious a crime must one have committed to have the entire family of the Duke's Mansion imprisoned? Only one person was arrested, the eldest young master of the Duke's Mansion."
The shopkeeper covered her mouth with his hand, fearing that someone would hear her.
If it gets out, people will think she is cursing the Prince's Mansion.
Fang Nanzhi pushed his hand away with all her strength: "Okay, I know, I know."
The eldest son of the Prince's Mansion is the illegitimate son?
Is he involved with the assassins?
After chatting, Fang Nanzhi took out his medical record and went to talk to Dr. Lu.
The two of them had just been discussing a new prescription for typhoid fever when someone came to ask Fang Nanzhi for help.
The person who came was a servant of Zhou's house, or in other words, Shi Junyan's secret guard.
"Miss Fang, Doctor Zhou wants to see you."
Fang Nanzhi blinked. Master, are you missing her?
Without much hesitation, he apologized to Doctor Lu and left.
The shopkeeper and Doctor Lu watched the carriage go away, their eyes full of envy.
This girl is so lucky that she can study under a famous teacher. The teacher also cares about her so much and has given her many special treatments behind the scenes.
I envy them so much! How come they don’t have this kind of luck? They studied medicine step by step and it was very difficult, but this girl ran, no, she flew.
After thinking about it again, they realized that Fang Nanzhi was smart and capable of drawing inferences from one instance, and the envy and jealousy in their hearts dissipated a little.
Forget it, even famous teachers have a threshold for accepting disciples. They obviously can't meet it.
At the gate of Zhou's house, there were twice as many guards as usual, and there were also yamen runners patrolling, so it seemed that not even a mosquito could get in.
Fang Nanzhi felt the serious atmosphere, but she entered smoothly.
As soon as I arrived at the front yard, the first person I saw was Shi Junyan.
Shi Junyan was standing in the corridor, holding a book in his hand, which was rare. However, his expression was not very good, and there was a gloom in his eyes.
