On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Mrs. Wu San was already unhappy to begin with. When she thought about having to serve the old lady, the old lady, and having to put on a smiling face to cheer her up, she felt suffocated.

But the servant came running over, saying in a hurry that something was wrong.

"What are you yelling about? What's wrong? I'm fine, slap me!"

The servant pretended to hit himself and said quickly, "Madam, the Third Master, the Third Master has been beaten!"

Mrs. Wu was shocked: "What? Who dares to hit the master? Where is he? How badly has he been beaten?"

"The person being carried back will soon be at the gate of the mansion," the servant said as he led her towards the door.

The Third Lady had no time to care about the Old Lady and hurried to the gate of the mansion.

Before he reached the door, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of the door. There were people from his own house and a few strangers. They were wearing military uniforms and carrying swords.

The third lady's heart began to pound. She paused for a moment, then quickly quickened her pace.

When she got closer, everything in front of her was a little dark. The Third Master - her husband, was lying on a broken door panel, with blood marks all below his waist, as if he had been beaten with a stick.

The third master closed his eyes, as if he was dizzy.

A man in military uniform looked at the Third Madam and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The maid replied: "This is our third wife."

"That's perfect," the soldier said to the third lady, "Wu Kui embezzled and sold military rations secretly, which is a serious crime. For Mr. Wu's sake, the higher-ups will give him a chance. Return the silver within three days, and we'll let it go. Otherwise..."

He didn't say the rest, but his eyes were fierce and his expression was ferocious, which frightened the third wife so much that she trembled and her legs became so weak that she could hardly stand.

The sergeant didn't care about that and turned and left.

The people around listened and couldn't help talking about it.

"You are stealing from the public. Oh my god, selling military rations is really a dare."

"How dare you sell the military rations!"

"is that true?"

"Didn't you see that they were soldiers guarding the granary? How could they be fake?"

"How heartless! Can you even sell military rations? They are life-saving!"

"That's right. That granary doesn't just hold military rations, it also holds our reserve rations."

"When the grain reserves were in trouble before, it was the Prince of Zhennan and Governor Cao who worked together to solve it. The prince mobilized many of the city's big rice producers to donate a lot, and it took a lot of effort!"

"Yes, I know about this. My cousin works at the Qian's grain store, and he told me about this."

"The prince donated military rations a while ago and opened a porridge shop. But this Wu guy is so good that he actually resold the military rations into his own pocket. Ugh!"

"Why has the Wu family become like this? They always do shameless things, not only the women, but also the men."

"Humph, maybe it has been like this for a long time, but we just don't know. Scholars like this are the best at pretending."

For a moment, there were all kinds of talks. Mrs. Wu San felt cold all over. She quickly ordered people to carry Mr. Wu San into the house and close the door.

Old Madam Wu waited and waited, but no one came to serve her. She was very unhappy, so she went to Qingfeng Temple. She felt a little unwilling that she could no longer be bullied at will, but then she thought that Qingfeng Temple was such a miserable place, and she deserved it.

"Go and urge the Third Madam. Do you want to wait until I die before coming?"

"Yes."

Just as the old woman was about to go out, a burst of crying was heard from the yard.

"Madam, it's the maidservant next to the Third Madam who's here."

"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!"

The maid came into the room crying, sobbing, "Please forgive me, Madam, the Third Madam can't come. She fainted and hasn't woken up yet. The Third Master is also injured. It's really..."

The old lady didn't care whether the Third Lady was dizzy or not. When she heard that her beloved Third Son was injured, she immediately sat up and asked, "What happened to the Third Master?"

"Reply to this old man, the Third Master was beaten!"

"What? Come on, I want to go check it out!"

……

Yan Ruyu put down her pen and asked in surprise, "Being beaten? Why?"

Huo Changhe handed her the pigeon letter and said, "I originally wanted to cause him some trouble and make his life more difficult, but I didn't expect that this guy is really problematic."

Yan Ruyu's eyes turned cold: "Selling military rations? Is this true? How dare he?"

"Of course it's true. My people can't pin it on him for something he didn't do. He must be guilty of something."

Huo Changhe explained: "He borrowed a lot of money, probably for gambling, and couldn't pay it back. He had no capital, so he came up with a crooked idea. He probably thought that he would buy food to pay it back after he got the money back. Unexpectedly, the hole became bigger and bigger, leading to the truth being exposed now."

"In fact, it will be revealed sooner or later. I just pushed it to happen sooner. It's good for him, too. It's better to be exposed now than later. The longer it's delayed, the bigger the hole will be. The more grain will be sold, and it will be even harder to make up for it by then."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Your Majesty is right. I'm afraid he won't be able to keep this job. The money is enough to worry him."

"It's not just him, the entire Wu family is worried. Madam Wu is the head of the family now, so she has to solve this problem. This amount of money can empty her coffin."

Yan Ruyu destroyed the paper and said, "You will suffer the consequences if you bring trouble upon yourself."

Huo Changhe was very interested and ordered his men to keep an eye on the Wu family to see what method they would use to solve the problem.

"Also," Yan Ruyu added, "keep an eye on the posthouse to see when the adults leave for the journey."

"Yes."

As long as the adult stays with her, Yan Ruyu's heartstrings will never loosen.

I always feel that Tang Yibai is not staying unintentionally. With Tang Yibai's shrewd mind, he can naturally realize that if he stays in Youcheng, he will definitely be watched by Huo Changhe's people. Even Governor Cao will send people.

But he still went into the city and stayed there.

What does he want to do?

Yan Ruyu couldn't think of it for a moment.

……

Tang Yibai held the letter written by Huo Changhe between his fingers, with a deep smile on his face.

"Princess, is this what you mean?"

The Eighth Princess pretended not to understand and said blankly: "What? The commander said..."

Tang Yibai looked at her disdainfully, unable to conceal the sarcasm in his smile: "Huo Changhe wouldn't have brought this letter for no reason, right?"

The Eighth Princess shook her head: "This... I don't know. Isn't it said that he has a good relationship with Prince Yong? It's normal to send a letter, right?"

"It's true that they have a good relationship, but his people, even the messengers at the post station, can deliver letters much faster than us. Why do they have to let you deliver it?"

The eighth princess pretended to think about it, then shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing.

"Princess, you don't know? I thought you would know something," Tang Yibai said with a smile, putting the letter on the table, "In that case, open the letter and you will know after reading it."

The Eighth Princess was surprised and showed an expression of disbelief: "This... isn't right? The letter written by the Prince of Zhennan might have some secret marks. What if someone finds out that the letter has been opened, then..."
