Chapter 147 12 gold
Chapter 147 12 gold
After leaving the Lin Mansion, Yu Wangfei was worried that someone would follow her, so she deliberately made a detour before heading towards Huichun Hall.
"How is it?" Yu Wangfei asked cautiously, afraid that others might hear it.
Yunhua looked around vigilantly and replied softly: "There is something going on in the firewood room of the Lin Mansion, but there are people guarding it, so I can't get in."
"Go to the academy now and tell Chu Yuheng." Yu Wangfei instructed, "Just follow his instructions."
"Yes." Yunhua nodded in agreement.
After Yunhua left, Yu Wangfei went to Huichun Hall alone.
At this time, Lu Xiaoting was lying on the toffee chair in Huichun Hall with her legs crossed, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand, and there were several glasses of wine on the table. She looked very happy.
Yu Wangfei ignored her and opened the door of Huichun Hall and hung up a sign saying "patient consultation".
The scene she had just seen outside the Lin Mansion should have spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jiangnan, so Yu Wangfei thought that if she opened the door for business now, there would definitely be many patients coming to her for pulse diagnosis.
After all, no doctor in Jiangnan City knew how to treat Miss Lin's illness, but she was able to find the cause of Miss Lin's illness in one go.
But Yu Wangfei waited and waited in Huichun Hall, but never saw a single customer come to see a doctor, which made her feel puzzled.
"Don't look, no one will come." Lu Xiaoting said with a smile.
She originally planned to go to the gate of the Lin Mansion to find out about Yu Wangfei, so that she could not practice medicine smoothly and could not enter the Lin Mansion smoothly. In this way, she would take the opportunity to sneak into the Lin Mansion to gather information for Chu Yuheng, so as to prove that she was stronger than Yu Wangfei.
But Lu Xiaoting met a strange old man on the way. The old man was dressed in rags and said that he was the second in command of a mountain stronghold and asked her to give him ten taels of silver to buy a cake.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoting was furious and started fighting with the old man. However, she was no match for him and was immobilized. She had to stand in the sun for an hour before she could move freely.
After she recovered, she thought of going to the Lin Mansion to frame Yu Wangfei, but when she arrived at the Lin Mansion, Yu Wangfei had already been in the mansion for a long time.
Lu Xiaoting had no choice but to return to Huichuntang.
After she returned to Huichuntang, many people came to seek medical treatment, but they were all driven away by Lu Xiaoting, who threatened that Huichuntang would cost one or two taels of gold to diagnose their pulse.
Such high prices are beyond the reach of most people.
Although they wanted to ask Yu Wangfei to diagnose and treat his illness, they could not afford the expense.
"What did you do? Why are there still people here?" Yu Wangfei frowned and stared at her, guessing in his heart that she was up to something.
"I didn't do anything." Lu Xiaoting waved her hand. "Someone just asked how much the consultation fee was, and I said it was one or two gold coins."
After saying that, Lu Xiaoting did not forget to give Yu Wangfei a provocative smile.
"What!" Yu Wangfei was shocked.
One or two taels of gold is not something that ordinary people can afford. What is Lu Xiaoting doing?
"This is my shop. What right do you have to give me orders?" Yu Wangfei glared at Lu Xiaoting angrily, wishing he could bypass Chu Aotian's men and take her away right now.
"Is one or two taels of gold expensive? But isn't this the price charged by the imperial physician?" Lu Xiaoting shrugged innocently, then picked up a glass of wine and started drinking.
This made Yu Wangfei extremely angry. She picked up the wine on the table and poured it on Lu Xiaoting's face.
"Ah!" Lu Xiaoting let out a scream.
"I have tolerated all the wrong things you did before and never targeted you, but this time you have really gone too far!" After saying that, Yu Wangfei took out the poison he carried with him, pinched Lu Xiaoting's mouth and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
"I'm telling you, I, Yu Wangfei, have a bad temper and I'm not someone you want to mess with. This poison is a lesson for you!"
The moment the poison entered her throat, Lu Xiaoting instantly covered her stomach in pain and fell to the ground.
"you you……"
"Don't worry, I won't let you die." Yu Wangfei gave her a sneer and ignored her.
It was good that there were no customers. She could concentrate on researching the antidote for Miss Lin, and then consider the income of Huichuntang after the antidote was developed.
So Yu Wangfei went to the medicine cabinet, took out the medical book and began to study it.
Yunhua told Chu Yuheng everything that he had seen in the Lin Mansion.
"Let's go tonight." Gu Baili suggested.
"No." Chu Yuheng stopped him immediately.
Tonight is not the best time. If, as Yu Wangfei said, Miss Lin was poisoned, then County Magistrate Lin will definitely dispatch all manpower to investigate the murderer in the next few days, and will also increase the number of guards in the mansion to protect Miss Lin's safety.
So this is not the best time.
"Then when do we set off?" Yunhua asked.
Since we know there is a problem with the woodshed, if we don’t go there sooner, I’m afraid they will move the things in the woodshed away.
"Wait for Feifei to make the antidote." Chu Yuheng already had a plan in mind.
After the antidote is developed, he can accompany Yu Wangfei to the Lin Mansion, and then find an opportunity to sneak into the woodshed to find out what's going on.
After a day and a night of research and development, Yu Wangfei finally made the antidote and planned to go to Lin Mansion immediately, fearing that he would miss the opportunity.
So, Yu Wangfei, Chu Yuheng and Yunhua appeared in the Lin Mansion together.
County Magistrate Lin knew that Chu Yuheng was Yu Wangfei's husband, so he did not try to stop him. He was more concerned about Yu Wangfei's antidote.
"Where is the antidote?" County Magistrate Lin asked nervously, looking all over Yu Wangfei, hoping to find the whereabouts of the antidote.
"Has Lord Lin found the murderer?" Yu Wangfei asked.
She wanted to see the murderer before taking out the antidote.
"This..." County Magistrate Lin suddenly felt embarrassed, his eyes became erratic, as if he had something to hide.
The housekeeper immediately responded, "Who are you to dare to question the county magistrate?"
"Who are you?" Chu Yuheng glared at the butler with an intimidating look.
That's his woman. If it wasn't inconvenient to reveal her identity now, how could there be a position of housekeeper here?
"I'm……"
"Shut up, how can you talk to the miracle doctor?" Without waiting for the housekeeper to finish, County Magistrate Lin directly scolded him, "This is my family matter after all, it is not convenient to talk to the miracle doctor, please forgive me."
From what County Magistrate Lin said, one could tell that he had already caught the murderer behind the scenes, but he was unwilling to let Yu Wangfei meet him.
But Yu Wangfei disagreed. She was hoping that the murderer knew the old man Mo Ying.
"I have already researched the formula for the antidote, but it takes time to make it. Please give me a room so I can make the medicine on the spot." Yu Wangfei said with a cold face.
The reason why a room was needed was to create an opportunity for Chu Yuheng and Yunhua to go to the firewood room of the Lin Mansion and take a look.
"Okay, come here, quickly clean up the room for the miracle doctor." County Magistrate Lin ordered immediately.
