Chapter 821: Aiding the Evil 1234 (1)
Little Yining tilted his head slightly and secretly took in the scene outside through the crack in the door.
The female doctor in front of her, Tianxianzi, looked at her mischievous appearance and couldn't help pinching her round face, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, we won't be able to meet next year."
The little kid was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Sister Doctor, you're leaving!"
"Yes, Xiangsizi has already sent a message. He is about to finish the task assigned to him by the emperor. By then, the emperor will give us a few mountains for the Medicine Valley, and he and I will develop the Medicine Valley again there." Tianxianzi explained.
The little boy nodded in understanding and sighed in his heart. All good things must come to an end. After the Medicine Valley pays off its debts, it will also end its life as a slave and become the master of its own house.
Thinking of this, she wanted to congratulate Tianxianzi, but she heard her say, "Our adopted daughter Jiang Li and the sisters from Shouyaotang will continue to stay in Yanjing to take on business for Medicine Valley. If there are any difficult or complicated cases, and the consultation fee is suitable, Xiangsizi and I will go out of the valley to treat them. After all, we still have tens of thousands of taels to repay."
Xiao Yining: ..., so they are still cattle and horses!
"From now on, I'll have to trouble your cousin Pei Yi to take care of Jiang Li." Tianxianzi said softly.
Xiao Yining: ⊙▽⊙, could it be that my fellow villager and Jiang Li...
The little girl opened her mouth into an O shape in astonishment, and was ecstatic in her heart: this time she could finally support a real CP, and it was a childhood sweetheart CP.
Who would have thought that Tianxianzi's next words would extinguish her passion again.
Tianxianzi sighed and said, "Jiang Li is a very impulsive child. A few days ago, she went out with Pei Yi to see a doctor and accidentally broke a vase that belonged to her employer. Pei Yi paid her 5,600 taels in compensation, but I don't know when he will be able to pay her back."
Xiao Yining: (?_?), I hate adults who say to keep half and half!
The little girl, who had wasted her emotions several times, suddenly felt neither sad nor happy, waiting for the doctor to take her pulse and send her out.
Tianxianzi also gave her a diagnosis at this moment, "The princess's body has recovered well. After taking the medicine for another three months, she will be as healthy as other children."
After hearing this, the little girl took out the three thousand taels of silver notes that her father had given her in advance from her purse.
When Tianxianzi saw the banknotes, she sighed deeply, as if lamenting her fate as a mere ox and horse. She found three taels of silver and gave it to the little girl, then carried her out. She said to her junior sister, "Follow Doctor Shangguan's prescription and prepare three months' supply of medicine for the princess, and make it into pills."
Cui Zhiyao's eyes turned red because of these words, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Yan Ke gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and whispered in her ear about recent interesting things to soothe her little heart, while also paying attention to the movements of the little baby.
Seeing the little girl being put back on the ground, he stood up and took her chubby little hand, as if he had forgotten that he had to buy the medicine that would make her infertile. He said goodbye to the female doctor and left the Shouyaotang with the little girl.
At this time, the sky was also filled with red clouds, and the afterglow shone on the figures of the two little ones heading towards Linglong Courtyard.
Xiao Yining stared at the little sister's back silently, without reminding her that she had not bought the medicine that would make her infertile. Her intuition told her that the little sister was quietly doing something big.
Sure enough, when the two of them arrived at the gate of Linglong Courtyard, the little sister exclaimed belatedly, which instantly attracted the attention of the aunt who was passing by.
Yan Ke's face flushed with embarrassment: "Oh no, I forgot to buy the medicine for Li Nu to prevent her from having children. Princess sister, after school tomorrow, can you accompany me to Shouyaotang again?"
Xiao Yining instantly turned into a tool and nodded in agreement with her performance.
Then, the little sister took out the "reward" she had prepared in advance.
She took out a few ancient books from her exquisite cloth bag and placed them in the little boy's hands. "Sister Princess, didn't I say a few days ago that I would give some rare books to Uncle Wang? I forgot about it yesterday when I went to look for medicine for my cat slave. Your yard connects to the one next door, so please give them to him."
The little kid turned around, listened attentively for a moment, and then replied, "Sister Yan Ke, would you like to come in and sit for a while? I'll go get your gift from your uncle."
Yan Ke smiled brightly and happily, nodded in agreement, and followed the little kid into Linglong Courtyard.
At the same time, the two old men in Hanqiuyuan were also entertaining the guest who came to visit - Zhang Liangchuan.
When he heard the follow-up of the bone examination during the day, he became itchy and, seeing his two friends being released by Jiang Tingsong, he immediately ran to Hanqiuyuan, waiting for them to answer his questions.
The three of them were now sitting in the cell, and Zhang Liangchuan's anxious questions echoed in the air.
"Brother Wang and Brother Lin, how did you guess that Marquis Xuanping would have a backup plan? Yesterday, I was almost certain that the corpse was Song Chengyou, and yet, the person found in the coffin today was also Marquis Xuanping's son. This afternoon, I even wrote to my father to ask if Marquis Xuanping's sons of marriageable age were still alive."
Lin Yuzan shook his head and replied slowly, "The bone dripping method is useless. It can't prove that the corpse in the coffin is a blood relative of Marquis Xuanping."
Zhang Liangchuan stared at his two friends in disbelief, nearly screaming out loud. Fortunately, his brain was still working, and he lowered his voice and asked, "How could the bone-dripping technique be ineffective? This is a method of autopsy that has been passed down for thousands of years."
Wang and Lin nodded in unison.
Wang Cheng explained, "My father was a hunter, and there were often animal bones in our house, and my blood had seeped into them. Brother Liangchuan, this shows that the bone-dropping paternity test is entirely possible to be faked."
Zhang Liangchuan was dumbfounded upon hearing this, his face filled with disbelief: "Wouldn't that mean there are countless more unjust cases in this world?"
Lin Yuzan couldn't stand his constant startles and said comfortingly, "I know that Brother Liangchuan has a heart for the people, but I believe that the number of people who know that this method can be faked is due to coincidence, and there shouldn't be many. Moreover, those who harm others will not be immune to the consequences just because the bone dripping method fails."
Zhang Liangchuan pondered the matter and felt that it made sense. Even though the Marquis of Xuanping had escaped blame, witnessing his beloved son's tragic end with his own eyes would undoubtedly have been a source of grief. It was truly his own fault.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire the person who discovered that Song Chengyou was still alive.
Zhang Liangchuan resolved his doubts, took a sip of tea, and was about to ask his two friends how to use the bone dripping method to forge things when a familiar childish voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Dad, uncle, Master Zhang, Sister Qing is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three grown men looked outside in unison.
I saw little Yining stretching out his hands, carefully holding an exquisite little heater, with a few old books placed steadily horizontally on his straight arms.
Three adults:......
Lin Yuzan hurriedly stood up, took the book from her arm, and scolded her, "Qing Jie'er, you are not walking properly again!"
Little Yining pouted and argued back, "Sister Qing is afraid of the cold and the books getting damaged, so she came up with this idea."
Lin Yuzan patted his daughter's head gently with the book, his tone still blaming: "You're so sharp-tongued! If you want to send a book, just leave it by the secret door and shout, and Dad and Uncle will come to get it."
"Humph, bad daddy!"
Little Yining walked around the old man blocking the way, covered his head, and trotted to his uncle to explain his origins: "Uncle, Sister Yan Ke gave you several beautiful rare books!"
Zhang Liangchuan was shocked when he heard this: "Is Miss Yan giving away another rare copy?"
He hurriedly moved to Lin Yuzan's side and took a look at the names of these rare books. Envy immediately filled his eyes. "These are rare books that are worth a fortune. The Yan family's collection of books is so enviable. Miss Yan is really generous."
But the two old men looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
Wang Cheng took the rare copy from his old rival, glanced at it, and said helplessly, "It seems that Miss Yan has something important to ask for. She actually offered a rare copy that even I can't refuse. Sister Qing, did she say anything to you?"
Xiao Yining shook her head and replied truthfully, "Sister Yan Ke hasn't said a word, but she's waiting for you at the secret door!"
When Wang Cheng heard this, he understood what was going on. He took all the rare copies from his old rival and walked out.
Seeing this, Zhang Liangchuan couldn't help but become curious: "Sir Yan is teaching at the Women's School, so why would his daughter come to ask for help from my brother?"
Lin Yuzan hadn't figured out the reason for this sudden situation yet. He looked down at the little person who had delivered the message, took her chubby hand, and gently patted her palm: "I knew you'd cause trouble for Dad and your uncle!"
