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

Song Ping hurriedly did as Yan Ruyu instructed.

Yan Ruyu informed Huo Changhe of Mu Liangze's whereabouts.

Huo Changhe was also puzzled: "Why did he go to the Yuan family? Can the Yuan family kidnap his child?"

"Maybe that's what he thought," Yan Ruyu said, "He thought Mu Baodi killed his concubine's child, so he wanted revenge."

Huo Changhe smiled and shook his head: "Probably not. The Yuan family has no official position, and the family's income depends on the farm and two shops."

"Although Mu Liangze's official position is not high, he works in the government office after all, and he has people under him. The Yuan family has already done their best by divorcing my wife, so why would they kidnap Young Master Mu?"

"Besides, Mu Baodi and Young Master Mu don't have a good relationship. What's the point of kidnapping him? It will only cause trouble for yourself."

Yan Ruyu didn't know much about the Mu family, and even less about the Yuan family. After hearing what Huo Changhe said, it was indeed impossible.

Huo Changhe pulled her back and said, "So this is very strange. What on earth did Mu Liangze go to the Yuan family for?"

Yan Ruyu asked, "What kind of business does Yuan's shop do?"

"A grain store and a pharmacy. I heard that the pharmacy has some dealings with the Qian family's pharmacy," Huo Changhe smiled bitterly. "I didn't know these things at first. It was not because of Mu Baodi that I asked the secret guards to investigate overnight."

That's all I've found for now.

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and stopped: "I have to go to the Qian family's pharmacy."

Just as she was about to leave, a maid from the eldest lady's courtyard came to report: "Princess, the lady invites you to come over and have some noodles."

She hadn't said she felt anything, nor had she paid attention to the time. Now that she was told this, Yan Ruyu felt hungry.

After all this time, it’s almost time for dinner.

She immediately went to the eldest lady's yard, and Huo Changhe followed closely behind her.

The main thing is not to talk back when being scolded, and never to argue. Just give him a bowl of noodles and he will do the job.

The eldest lady scolded him again, but finally gave him a bowl.

After Yan Ruyu had eaten her fill, Huo Changhe accompanied her to the pharmacy.

Yan Ruyu used to come to Qian's pharmacy often, but after military doctor Cao bought a small pharmacy for his research, she came less often.

But when the owner of the drugstore saw her, he was still as happy as if he had seen the God of Wealth.

Apart from anything else, her medicine for external injuries and anti-inflammatory drugs are really effective.

"Boss," Yan Ruyu asked straight to the point without beating around the bush, "Does the Yuan family pharmacy have any business dealings with you?"

"The Yuan family?" The shopkeeper was confused for a moment, "Which Yuan family is the princess referring to?"

The accountant asked, "Are you asking about the Yuan family in East Street, the one who is related to the Mu family?"

"Exactly."

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, "The Yuan family does have one, but it's only temporary. They come and go more often in late spring and early summer, and late autumn and early winter. They have a farm outside the city, which is connected to a mountain. The scenery there is very beautiful and suitable for growing medicinal herbs."

"The Yuan family grows three kinds of herbs, and whenever they mature, they give us priority."

It turned out to be the case.

Yan Ruyu asked, "Besides this, has there been anything else? Or, how much do you know about their family? Anything is fine."

The shopkeeper pondered and said, "Other than that, there is nothing else in the business. The price is all agreed upon. However, it was Old Madam Yuan who negotiated the price in the first place."

The shopkeeper smiled meaningfully: "He is a good negotiator. If it weren't for the fact that their herbs are really good and can be purchased locally without shipping costs, I wouldn't agree."

"Where is Madam Yuan?" Yan Ruyu reminded, "She is Miss Mu."

"She?" The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and recalled, "She hasn't been here very often. I've only seen her two or three times. She came with Master Yuan. It seems like she just passed by and brought her here."

"She has never had a say in business matters," the shopkeeper smiled, "With Old Madam Yuan here, I'm afraid she won't be able to intervene either."

Yan Ruyu understood that the old lady should be the one in charge of the Yuan family, and Mu Baodi was not having a very happy time in the Yuan family.

According to Huo Changhe, the Yuan family is of lower status than the Mu family, and Mu Baodi will be the legal wife after marrying into the family. Given her personality, she should not be able to tolerate any bullying.

how……

Yan Ruyu was thinking about it when the accountant said, "Princess, the shopkeeper, there is something I want to tell you."

"Speak," said the shopkeeper, "Didn't the princess say that you can speak anything?"

The accountant nodded and said, "A few days ago, Madam Yuan, the young lady of the Mu family, bought a few white frost flowers at Wuji Building."

Yan Ruyu remembered that Wujilou was also a property of the Qian family. The owner had invited her to visit. It was considered a high-end pharmacy that was spun off from the Qian family's pharmacy.

The medicinal materials inside are expensive, few and fine.

The original intention of establishing Wujilou was not to make a lot of money. The shop belonged to the Qian family, and it was established to show that they had a complete range of products.

Yan Ruyu asked, "What is the white frost flower?"

"It is a kind of grass that grows in the snow. Its white flowers look like frost and snow. This kind of grass is extremely shade-tolerant and loves cold weather. It usually grows on secluded paths, wilderness, and mountain roads. It will bloom when the snow falls."

"It can cure severe fire. Sometimes when people are in danger, they use strong medicines to avoid damaging their bodies, so one flower is used within an hour."

"This item is not easy to obtain, but it is also rarely used, so although it is rare, it is actually not particularly expensive."

Yan Ruyu quickly asked, "When did she come to buy it?"

The accountant answered without hesitation: "Three days ago."

Yan Ruyu silently calculated the time. Three days ago, wasn’t that before Madam Mu fell ill?

"Do you know what the White Frost Flower is incompatible with?"

The shopkeeper replied: "I know this. The white frost flower melts when it comes into contact with hot water. It is colorless and tasteless and cannot be seen. It is a very cold thing. In fact, it cannot be taken at the same time as many things, especially some tonic medicines."

Yan Ruyu immediately remembered that Madam Mu had to take tonic medicine almost every day to make up for the pain of childbirth that year.

"How much did she buy?"

"Three."

Yan Ruyu had a rough idea in her mind: "Thank you both, your words are very important to me, but please keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone else."

The two looked at each other and nodded immediately: "Yes, we remember it."

"Boss, if there is anything you need to replenish, please write a list and send it to Doctor Cao, and I will replenish it later."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe got on the carriage and quickly calculated: "Mrs. Mu's death is closely related to Mu Baodi."

"This is definitely not a matter of gods claiming my life."

Huo Changhe nodded: "We never believe in matters of gods. Are you suspecting that Mu Baodi used that flower to harm Madam Mu?"

Yan Ruyu said slowly: "Besides this, there is no other explanation for now. I have seen Madam Mu's illness, and it is not fatal."

"Yu'er, do you remember that Nanny Wu once said that when Madam Mu was in a coma due to illness, she also mentioned not to take her life."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.

It's indeed a bit contradictory.
