Chapter 180 is a backup
The old lady looked at He Yuyan.
His eyes held an ambiguous meaning.
Sensing the old lady's displeasure, He Yuyan realized she had made a mistake.
"Well, what I mean is that since you developed Ansheng Baoji Pill so early on..."
Why wasn't it delivered to the Old Madam sooner?
It caused Master Jiang to spend such a huge sum of money to auction it off.
This has led to this mess; Wu Weiwei's intentions are truly malicious.
Wu Weiwei twitched her lips at He Yuyan's complaint.
"Grandma, it's not that Weiwei doesn't want to take it out sooner, but she's waiting for the person who stole the prescription to leave a clue!"
He Yuyan looked at her.
What does she mean?
The old lady's face suddenly turned serious.
"Based on what you just said, you believe that the Rong family stole your prescription?"
Don't say this nonsense.
"That's right, I have evidence to prove it."
The pills developed by the Rong family were stolen from me by someone ordered by Third Aunt!
He Yuyan was shocked upon hearing this.
She's probably driven mad with jealousy by seeing the Rong family receive an award for their medicine!
Seeing He Yuyan's indifferent expression, Wu Weiwei smiled.
"Sister He, do you think I'm just jealous and slandering the Rong family?"
“Aunt Wu, I didn’t say that.”
But I think you might be mistaken.
Wu Weiwei looked toward the old lady sitting in the main seat.
"Grandma, I have witnesses to the matter of Rong ordering people to steal the medicine prescription."
The old lady rubbed her forehead.
"Zhang Mama, go to Yan Gui Lou and call Rong Shi over."
Seeing the old lady's actions, He Yuyan felt a tightness in her chest.
Surprisingly, the old lady actually believed Wu Weiwei.
……
Madam Rong ordered people to pack up her precious clothes that she usually wore.
Today is the day for Ma Hongmao to hand over the goods to the wealthy merchants of Xiliang.
If Ma Hongmao can get two million taels of silver, then she won't have to stay in this stifling Marquis's mansion anymore.
Blame it on the Marquis for being so cruel to you.
If that's the case, then don't blame me for cuckolding the Marquis and eloping with Ma Hongmao.
The Rong family is planning her future with Ma Hongmao.
Unexpectedly, the wet nurse, Granny Qin, came in to report that the matriarch of Yong'an Hall had invited them.
"The old lady wants me to go over?"
Madam Rong frowned and glanced at Granny Zhang.
Did they say what it was about?
Upon seeing the arrogance in her tone, Granny Zhang's expression immediately changed.
"You'll find out when you get there."
Tea Horse Town.
Yan Kaiyuan was both surprised and expected by Chen Furong's visit.
"Furong, are you here because of the poisoning case?"
Chen Furong looked at the burly man with a square face in front of her.
He is a righteous person and handles cases fairly.
I never thought he would be the kind of person who would compromise his principles for money.
But I never expected that he would actually...
"Brother Yan, why did you do that?"
Yan Kaiyuan looked at her.
Having grown up in luxury, Chen Furong will probably never be able to understand people of their level.
They couldn't understand the poverty he endured growing up, never having enough to eat or wear.
“Furong, I lost my father when I was young, and my mother raised me with great difficulty.”
She has suffered too much in her life.
Unfortunately, by the time I became successful, she had fallen ill and was bedridden.
I've sought medical help everywhere over the past few years, but I haven't been able to get her to stand up again.
My mother's illness is getting worse.
I'm afraid that in a few more days, she really won't be able to stand up again and will be bedridden for the rest of her life.
She raised me with great difficulty.
But he didn't get to enjoy the blessings I, his son, have given him; it's my fault as a son…”
With reddened eyes, Yan Kaiyuan told her that he saw his mother's joyful expression when she saw the money that day.
He suddenly felt like a failure and that he had let his mother down.
He wanted to find a good doctor for his mother to cure her illness.
So he decided to keep the silver...
“Brother Yan, if you need money, I can lend it to you. You don’t need to accept bribes!”
Chen Furong said with heartache.
At the same time, she didn't understand.
Yan Kaiyuan gazed at her, his eyes filled with an indescribable affection.
Chen Furong was so burned by his intense gaze that she quickly turned her eyes away.
Yan Kaiyuan smiled, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
"You do not understand……"
This is his pride as a man.
He knew that his family background was not a good match for Chen Furong's.
So he has been working hard to catch up over the past few years.
He hoped that one day Chen Furong would look at him differently.
After all his hard work, he finally saw her break off her engagement with Prince Min.
But in the end, she didn't even glance at him.
But then she turned around and fell for another pretty boy.
Now that this has happened, Furong will probably look down on him even more!
“Brother Yan, as long as you step forward and cooperate with us to report Cao Yingde.”
"I'll ask my dad to plead for you again, and you'll definitely keep your job..."
Chen Furong advised.
Yan Kaiyuan looked at her and said, "Furong, perhaps I am not suited to be a constable."
As you know, my lifelong dream has been to wander the world as a swordsman.
Living a carefree life of chivalry and justice…
But because of his mother, he was destined never to fulfill this wish.
As Chen Furong was leaving, Yan Kaiyuan took out the one thousand taels of silver that Cao Yingde had given him.
He then pulled a blood-stained piece of paper from his pocket.
"Brother Yan, this is..."
Chen Furong found it hard to believe.
"I made a backup of Li Juhua's offering paper..."
Seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on Chen Furong's face, Yan Kaiyuan knew that he had not disappointed Chen Furong.
Yan Kaiyuan raised an eyebrow as he watched her nimbly mount the horse.
"Furong, this is all I can do for you..."
Meanwhile, Chen Furong rushed back to the capital with her confession.
Wu Weiwei and the others finally witnessed the arrival of the Rong family.
She was wearing a long, emerald-green brocade robe embroidered with golden silk patterns.
She appeared dignified and noble.
"May the old lady be well."
"Get up!"
The old lady looked at her, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Of all the members of the Marquis's household, her third branch was the most troublesome and always liked to cause trouble.
Rong looked up and found that not only He Shi, but also Wu Shi was there.
Rong Shi naturally disliked Wu Weiwei.
Her displeasure was evident in her expression.
Seeing the undercurrents between the two, He Yuyan was naturally pleased.
It seems there's a reason why she doesn't like Wu Weiwei.
It's hard not to dislike someone like that.
“Mrs. Rong, Mrs. Wu said that you sent someone to steal a medicine formula that she developed. Is that true?”
The old matriarch narrowed her eyes slightly, and her authoritative voice rang out in the hall.
"Old Madam, she's spouting nonsense."
Madam Rong looked at the old lady, her face filled with emotion.
“I am a woman confined to my room, and for the past few months you have kept me at the Wild Goose Pavilion to recite scriptures.”
What use would I have for her lousy prescription?
Although I was surprised that Wu Weiwei found out so quickly.
But her people did it flawlessly, so Wu Weiwei is definitely bluffing me now.
Wu Weiwei watched Rong Shi's performance with a cold eye.
Since she dared to bring this matter to the Old Madam today, she must have been fully prepared.
Wu Weiwei curled her lips into a cold smile and said, "Third Aunt, of course the prescription is useless on you."
But if it were sent to the Rong family in Jiangnan, it would be of great use..."
