Chapter 117 Return to West Lane
"Yes, I haven't forgotten that we had a deal. After so long, Your Highness has helped me so much. I can't just let Your Highness wait. This is the medicine I made recently. Take it first. If you have any reaction, tell me immediately."
Shen Chenli poured out the pills, and to his surprise, they were milky white pills with a faint fragrance, but the smell of the medicine was very light.
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Yu Tingwan did not explain too much. In fact, the most important thing here is the spiritual spring water, and the rest of the medicines are still mostly for suppressing toxicity.
After all, the poison in his body is already in a state of balance. If one of them is removed rashly, once the balance is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.
But the spiritual spring water is gentle and can expel all the dirt from the body. It doesn’t matter what kind of poison you have, once it arrives, all the rest will have to get out!
This is also the reason why Yu Tingwan can go out without worry. Otherwise, she would have to stay here and watch him all the time.
After handing the medicine to Shen Chenli, Yu Tingwan didn't say much. He still had to ask Lu Cheng anyway, so as long as the medicine was fine, it would be fine. While it was still early, she wanted to go for a stroll in West Lane.
It was already past morning, and the crowds in West Lane were much smaller, but it was still very different from before.
Ever since Yu Tingwan worked with them last time, the entire West Lane has become different.
"Hey, steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, give me one!"
"The cloth we have here is really good cloth, come and have a look!"
……
West Lane has never been so lively before. This "lively" should be called "vitality"!
Everyone's face was filled with joy, happiness and hope for life, and these were given to them by Yu Tingwan.
"It's been so long since I came here, it's really lively!"
Yu Tingwan walked on the street, looking at the people coming and going in West Lane, thinking back to when she first arrived in West Lane, it was no different from a refugee camp.
It's nothing like it is now, it's almost the same as Central Avenue.
However, most of the people coming and going here are ordinary people, and it is rare to see people wearing fancy clothes.
It's not just because the location is remote, but also because the shops in West Lane sell things that ordinary people need, which are different from what the dignitaries need.
The entire West Lane is not big. In addition to shops on both sides of the road, there are also small vendors on the street. The business they do covers all the daily necessities of life, but the prices of the goods are all ordinary.
For example, the plain buns here cost two cents each, while on Central Street, they cost three cents each. Although there is only a difference of one cent, this is the capital city where every inch of land is valuable. For ordinary people, they naturally prefer to buy things here.
Because of this, West Lane gradually became lively.
"Sir, you don't come here often. You don't know that since you and the princess helped, our West Lane is very different from before. Everyone is very grateful to you."
Following Yu Tingwan was Qi Kun, who had also followed everyone to the palace to study for a long time, but the direction of his study was different.
Yu Tingwan wanted him to learn more about management and how to manage West Lane better.
Now, following him all the way, I see that West Lane has undergone such changes in just a few months. This can be attributed to the unity of the people in West Lane, and another reason is that this leader has done a good job.
You have to know that this kind of management is different from that of a shop. It can be regarded as a small local official. Therefore, Qi Kun is indeed a talent.
The main reason Yu Tingwan came this time was actually to find some people to farm the land. Although it seemed a little late to plant now, she had the spiritual spring water, so she didn't have to worry about it.
"Farming? That's easy. Almost all of us in West Lane come from farmland. Farming is something that we know in our bones."
Yu Tingwan also understood this, otherwise he would not have come to find them.
"We don't need many people. Just pick a few who are good at it. There are other people on the farm who will work with us."
She asked them to go to her own farm, and as for the palace's farm, it would naturally be handed over to others.
Knowing that the young master was always busy, Qi Kun quickly asked people to find a few veterans so that the young master would not waste time. Before he had even taken a few sips of tea, Maodan heard the news that the young master had arrived and ran back in a flash.
"Son!"
Seeing that he was sweating all over from running, Yu Tingwan poured him a cup of tea and asked him to rest for a while.
Qi Kun shook his head helplessly. This boy was so lucky to have caught the young master's eye at once. Although he still looked like a beggar, he was different now!
"Sir, you asked me to keep an eye on the Shangshu Mansion. There have indeed been some problems in the past few days."
Yu Tingwan motioned for him to sit down and talk, but Maodan sat down on the ground with the unfinished tea in his hand.
"Hey, sir, my clothes are all dirty, so I won't dirty the stool, otherwise Mr. Qi will have to ask me to clean it. Just sit here."
These words made Yu Tingwan smile.
Then, Maodan talked about the information he had found out in recent days.
"Sir, ever since the princess left the Shangshu Mansion that day, there has been a lot of noise and cursing in the Shangshu Mansion. Then the concubine in the mansion started crying and wanted to go to Liuhua Lane to cause trouble for the concubine. Shangshu Yu called the servants to control her. The next day, Shangshu Yu carried the concubine and the child born to her to the mansion, and naturally there was another commotion."
"But apart from this incident, our people followed Minister Yu and did not find any unusual behavior. Apart from going to and from court, he usually returned home and never went out."
Not going out again?
Yu Tingwan frowned. He had already said that. Given how much he valued it, there was no way that nothing would happen.
Could it be that... my mother is still in the Shangshu Mansion? Or is there a secret passage leading to another place in this mansion?
"You really haven't left the house, and there's nothing unusual?"
Mao Dan shook his head. "A few of my brothers and I have surrounded the entire Shangshu Mansion and confirmed that there has been no other incidents in the past few days except for the normal comings and goings. We have also inquired and found that Shangshu Yu only spends a lot of time in the mansion with his new concubine and the study, except for attending court to handle official business."
Yu Tingwan thought for a while, and there seemed to be nothing worth thinking about. At least one thing was certain, Yu Huaiyi was indeed very cautious about this matter, and did not reveal any flaws. He could only ask the secret guards about the situation.
"Okay, I get it. You've been working hard lately."
"What's so hard about this? We are really living a good life. We don't have to worry about food and drink. It's just that we can't help you, young master. Don't worry, we will continue to keep an eye on him and won't miss a step!"
Maodan stood up and prepared to go and keep an eye on it. It would be more reassuring if he watched it himself!
Suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around.
"Sir, when we were doing surveillance last time, we met a strange old beggar. He did tell us some very important news, something that could cost him his life. But we saw that he was a little crazy, so we don't know if what he said was true."
Yu Tingwan regained her focus and stared at him again, motioning for him to speak out.
