"The villain has hidden a secret recipe from Dr. Lu! It is a unique healing medicine! The villain got it from the shopkeeper in front of me. As long as the lady has this secret recipe, there will definitely be a lot of money in the future, and -"
Before Shopkeeper Chai finished speaking, he suddenly heard Wen Qingzhu's sneer.
He stopped suddenly and saw Wen Qingzhu standing up behind the screen.
She walked around the screen, walked out slowly, and stopped in front of him.
This was the first time that Shopkeeper Chai saw Wen Qingzhu's appearance.
The moment he saw her appearance, he lost his mind in a trance.
But soon, he woke up.
Because he found that Wen Qingzhu looked at him like he was looking at a pitiful dog.
"Miss!" The moment Shopkeeper Chai saw Wen Qingzhu's eyes, he knew he had made a mistake.
How could someone with such eyes be a boudoir girl who is ignorant of the world
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and looked at his face carefully.
Then she wandered around Shopkeeper Chai in confusion: "What's going on? Why didn't I see your face? Why don't you have a face?"
"No, the heart and lungs are not normal. It doesn't look like a human's. It seems like a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!" Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped and said seriously.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Chai didn't understand all his lies and clumsy tricks.
They all shattered into powder in front of Wen Qingzhu.
Only one sentence echoed in Shopkeeper Chai's heart.
It’s over! The lady knows it all!
Wen Qingzhu looked at Tian Chong outside the door and said, "Manager Tian, Shopkeeper Chai has deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates. He has done many evil things. Send him to the government to confess and be lenient!"
"Yes!" Tian Chong had already prepared his servants and raised his hand.
Four majestic men came in, tied up shopkeeper Chai tightly, and then escorted him to the government.
Three days later, the government officials sealed Wanrentang.
All supplies were confiscated.
Wen Qingzhu and Mi Lei stood in the teahouse opposite Wanrentang.
She watched as the government officials carried away the last batch of supplies, and then saw them affixing the seal with her own eyes.
Next to them stood Fu Lie, Lei Shuo, and the head of Pingshu County.
It wasn't until everyone from the government had left that the entrance to Wanrentang became completely quiet.
Wen Qingzhu turned back to the table and sat down. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Sister Shuo and the county master."
"It's okay, but none of us expected that Wanrentang was actually a property in your name." Lei Shuo sighed with emotion, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not in my name. As of now, the owner of Wanrentang is still my grandfather. I just don't want bad people to tarnish his reputation after his death."
Lei Shuo didn't say anything. She knew a little about Doctor Lu's inside story.
Liang Pingshu praised her: "You are a very good granddaughter."
"Thank you for the compliment, County Lord." Wen Qingzhu was not happy.
So whatever, her grandfather still couldn't be with her.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Xiao came up with a pot of tea.
After bringing a cup to everyone present, Nan Xiao said: "Try it, this is the new tea sent from Jiangnan."
Liang Pingshu stood up, shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, girl. I still have something to do, so I'll leave with Lei Shuo first."
"County Lord, go slowly, sister Shuo, go slowly." Wen Qingzhu stood up and respectfully saw them off.
Only Wen Qingzhu, Fu Lie and Nan Xiao were left in the room.
Nan Xiao looked at them and said, "I brewed this tea myself, you won't deny me face, right?"
Wen Qingzhu took off the rice weed and revealed Shaoyao's face: "Of course, Miss Nanxiao's craftsmanship must be very good."
The moment she saw Wen Qingzhu, Nan Xiao instantly became alert.
But after carefully looking at Wen Qingzhu's eyes, Nan Xiao relaxed.
"You actually changed your appearance?"
Wen Qingzhu touched his face: "Now Wen Qingzhu is a deathly ill person, how can he leave the house casually."
Nan Xiao pursed her lips and looked away from Wen Qingzhu.
She couldn't get used to Shaoyao's face, it always seemed a bit perceptive.
This kind of disguise technique must be quite exquisite.
With her eyesight, she couldn't see any flaws.
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand, picked up the tea cup, and took a gentle sip.
The temperature of the tea is suitable, the mouth is sweet, and the fresh and pleasant taste lingers between the lips and teeth.
"Good tea!" Wen Qingzhu put down the tea cup and praised it.
Nan Xiao said a perfunctory 'hmm', and then looked at Fu Lie expectantly: "Brother Fu, you should try it too. If you like it, I'll have someone bring more back next time."
Fu Lie shook his head: "I can't drink tea now."
"Why?" Nan Xiao suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
Wen Qingzhu turned to look over and chuckled: "Miss Nanxiao, have you forgotten? Brother Fu used Tianshan Jade Wucao, and now his five senses are extremely sensitive, and his sense of smell is more than ten times more sensitive than ordinary people. If he drinks this cup of tea , maybe you won’t have any taste in your mouth for a month.”
Nan Xiao was startled, and then said in despair: "Then you guys talk first, I'll go down first."
As soon as she left, Fu Lie said, "This teahouse is in Uncle Zhong's name."
"Why is it in Uncle Zhong's name? Didn't you buy it?" Wen Qingzhu looked at him puzzled.
Fu Lie turned around and sat down, explaining: "I know what you are thinking. Although Wanrentang has been blocked, you want to start over."
Wen Qingzhu avoided his sight, lowered his head, and held the teacup uneasily with both hands.
"Brother Fu, I don't deserve you to be so nice to me."
Fu Lie's eyes suddenly surged with inexplicable emotions.
He's like saying it out loud: You're worth it! You are always worth it!
But he still didn't say it out loud.
"Brother Fu, I thank you very much." Wen Qingzhu finally thanked him.
Autumn is coming and the weather is dry.
The watchman was walking on the empty street, beating the gong and shouting: "Heavenly dry things are dry! Be careful of fire candles! Sky dry things are dry! Be careful of fire candles..."
Repeating sounds echoed on the streets.
The entrance of Wanrentang is inaccessible and in dilapidated condition.
The seal, which had been affixed for half a month, had become rotten and yellowed due to exposure to wind and sun.
The autumn night wind blew, and the flimsy seal fell off with a few clicks, and drifted into the distance with the wind.
In the teahouse opposite, Wen Qingzhu looked quietly at Wanrentang opposite through the small hole in the window.
Counting silently in my heart.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four—
Before the count reached one, fire suddenly appeared in Wanrentang.
There was no need for any kerosene at all, and the dry and dilapidated house was instantly ignited.
In less than half an hour, the fire spread.
There were people living next door, left and right.
It rained a few days ago, and the roof of Wanrentang has not been completely dry.
When the fire reached the roof, thick smoke began to billow out.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the people next door suddenly woke up, opened their windows and looked at Wanrentang.
"It's on fire, it's on fire!"
A shrill cry alerted the watchman not far away.
He looked back, was startled, and quickly turned around to find the patrol.
A few days ago, the patrol team received a lot of scolding from the fire at the Lu family's old house.
This time they heard the fire and arrived in time.
In less than an hour, the fire was completely extinguished.
But there is only a skeleton left in the entire Wanrentang.
Early the next morning, various rumors spread in Nancheng, Kyoto.
Some people say that if Wanrentang does unrighteousness, he will die!
Shopkeeper Chai actually dares to sell that kind of evil medicine!
Some people say that Wanrentang's fortune has come to an end.
Then the bad luck starts.
Some people also said that the fire came from a strange place.
Maybe the previous shopkeeper offended someone!
…
Regardless of the rumors outside, Wen Qingzhu only took Dongyuan with him and quietly prepared to meet Zheng Xu.
Zheng Xu stayed at Wen's house for a whole month.
But no evidence was found.
In the end, Zheng Xu decided to leave the Wen family, after all, he had stayed long enough.
But before leaving, Zheng Xu came to see Wen Qingzhu for the last time.
It's still late at night.
Zheng Xu came alone.
Lu Tao stood guard at the door. After seeing him coming, he led him to Wen Qingzhu's study.
Standing at Wen Qingzhu's door, Zheng Xu saw her practicing calligraphy.
Without speaking first, he stepped forward and glanced at Wen Qingzhu's handwriting.
Vigorous and powerful, like a startled dragon.
"You won't be able to master your calligraphy in twenty years!" Zheng Xu looked at her intently.
Wen Qingzhu finished writing the last stroke, and then put down the pen after holding it firmly.
"Mr. Zheng, don't you know that there is a kind of person in this world called a genius?"
Zheng Xu frowned: "Even a genius needs to practice hard. Your handwriting-"
"Stop talking about me, let's talk about your results this month." Wen Qingzhu walked out, went to the table, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.
Zheng Xu turned around and followed over, sitting opposite Wen Qingzhu.
"Ms. Wen, how on earth did you know there was something wrong with the Wen family's main house?"
Wen Qingzhu drank half a cup of tea, put down the cup, and chuckled: "I said I understand human nature, do you believe it?"
Zheng Xu said nothing.
What happened in the past month has proven that what Wen Qingzhu said was right.
Even though he has not found any evidence yet, the Crown Princess summoned Wen Qingfang twice.
Zheng Xu knew that it was not the princess who summoned him, but the prince.
The status of the Wen family's big house in the Wen family began to rise.
The old lady of the Wen family even invited two nuns who had retired from the palace to teach Wen Qingfang the etiquette and rules.
The purpose is self-evident.
The Wen family plans to send Wen Qingfang to the Prince's Mansion.
Seeing Zheng Xu's thoughtful expression, Wen Qingzhu interrupted him with a faint smile: "To tell you the truth, I'm actually surprised that my sixth sister is so powerful. I knew when she hooked up with the prince. To be honest, If she goes there, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the Prince's Mansion, and even the Crown Princess may not be able to control her."
Zheng Xu said, "The Crown Princess is very powerful, don't worry. In addition, the Crown Prince also knows what's appropriate. As long as your sixth sister can give birth to a grandson for the Crown Prince's Palace, she will be useless."
Wen Qingzhu could only sigh, Zheng Xu still didn't understand the war between women.
However, she did not continue this topic, but asked another question: "Master Zheng, don't you plan to use the second opportunity? The princess is in good health, and I have been studying witchcraft for a while, maybe it's time Show it to the Crown Princess."
"Are you sure?" Zheng Xu suddenly became excited.
"No." Wen Qingzhu continued to drink tea.
After Zheng Xu was surprised, he became angry: "No! Then why did you bring this up! Nothing can happen to the Crown Princess!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at Zheng Xu in surprise, always feeling that Zheng Xu seemed to be hiding something.
She had a guess in her mind and asked purely subconsciously: "Is it possible that you like the Crown Princess?"
"Nonsense!" Zheng Xu suddenly stood up and interrupted Wen Qingzhu's words sharply.
Seeing his reaction, the teasing smile on Wen Qingzhu's face faded.
It seems that Zheng Xu really has different ideas about the Crown Princess.
