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

Shen Wenqi brought his wife forward to greet Governor Cao and his wife.

Governor Cao smiled and said, "Very good."

He turned around and looked at the woman: "Mrs. Shen, what is this..."

The woman bowed and said, "My lord, I am very sorry. I have caught a cold and I am afraid I may have disturbed you, my distinguished guests."

Madam Cao was a little puzzled: "Huh? Why does your voice sound a little different from before?"

Shen Wenqi's heart tightened, and the woman smiled calmly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam, I have a cold and my voice is hoarse."

Madam Cao said, "So that's how it is."

I wanted to ask more, but the people from the Chamber of Commerce who had arrived earlier came to greet me after hearing the news.

Everyone come over to pay their respects.

Shen Wenqi unnoticeably pulled the woman away and stepped back, separating her from Mrs. Cao.

Everyone chatted and laughed and went upstairs together.

Madam Cao called the woman, "Come, Madam Shen, sit here."

Shen Wenqi didn't want her to go over: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but she has caught a cold and I'm afraid she will pass on the disease to you, so it's better to stay away."

Madam Cao laughed and said, "What do you mean? How can I be so stingy? We are the only two women at this table. It is convenient for us to talk when we sit together."

"Come, sit down."

Smiling, but not tolerant of rejection.

Shen Wenqi had no choice but to quietly pinch the woman's fingers to remind her to be careful.

The woman sat over and sat next to Mrs. Cao.

Shen Wenqi's heart was tense, and 80% of her attention was focused here, fearing that Mrs. Cao would notice something.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cao did not ask any more questions.

At this time, Governor Cao stood up and said, "Everyone, there is nothing particularly important that I have asked you to come here today."

Shen Wenqi had just turned his attention back here, but he felt puzzled after hearing this. Governor Cao was too bad at speaking. What did he mean by there was nothing particularly important?

Isn't this a big deal? He invested two hundred thousand taels of silver.

"I heard that the food here is very good and it is often difficult to get a table. I have contacted the store and made arrangements. Please enjoy it today."

Everyone hurried to thank him, Governor Cao clapped his hands, and the shopkeeper came to serve wine personally.

"Dear guests, sir, this is our store's fine wine, please enjoy it slowly, if you need anything from me, just let me know."

The shopkeeper said a few polite words, put down the wine and turned to leave.

Governor Cao invited everyone to drink and eat.

Madam Cao looked at the woman and said, "It's really inconvenient to wear this. Why don't you take it off? We don't mind a little cold."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"No need for that. It's already very rude of me to come here while I'm sick. How can I put you all in danger again? I really feel bad about that."

The woman glanced at Governor Cao and said, "I heard that Governor Cao asked me to come here because of the trade fair. I am stupid and don't dare to show off in front of everyone. I am grateful to the Governor for inviting me and my grandfather for teaching me. That's why I dare to come here."

Since Governor Cao didn't mention it, she would take the initiative to bring it up.

Governor Cao did not answer and drank a glass of wine.

Another businessman looked at the woman and said, "From what you said, Madam, is it possible that she is from a famous family?"

The woman said, "I am not talented, I am from the Jiang family of Taizhou."

After she said that, she took out a jade token and showed it to everyone.

Everyone was slightly surprised, looked at the jade token carefully, and then looked at each other in surprise.

"We have all heard of the name of the Jiang family in Taizhou. I am sorry for the disrespect."

Madam Cao looked at the jade plaque from close up and said, "This plaque is really exquisitely made. I wonder if there is any story behind it?"

The woman spoke eloquently, "Madam, please look. The word Jiang in the middle of the jade token is self-explanatory. The hollow flowers on the edge represent women, while the men represent branches and leaves. It is the rule of the Jiang family that all direct descendants have both men and women."

"I see." Mrs. Cao nodded.

She smiled slightly, a smile that was meaningful.

Just at this moment, someone pushed the door open.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Everyone looked back and saw three women walking in. The one in front was wearing a light-colored dress and a dark blue cloak. They looked low-key and noble. Their eyebrows and eyes seemed gentle at first glance, but upon closer inspection they were filled with coldness.

It was Jiang Ruhuan.

Behind her were Jiang Tangli and Yan Ruyu, who was dressed as a female doctor.

Shen Wenqi was confused and didn't know why she was here.

How can I explain it in front of so many people?

Madam Cao was surprised and asked, "Madam Shen? Why are you..."

She turned to look at the woman next to her: "That is Madam Shen, then who are you?"

Jiang Ruhuan glanced at the woman, then looked at Shen Wenqi: "Who is she? Shouldn't you explain it to me?"

Shen Wenqi came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly, stood up and said, "Madam, why didn't you rest at home? I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you were not well."

Governor Cao frowned: "Sima Shen, what do you mean? I asked you at the beginning, your wife may be able to come, if not, don't force it, why are you..."

"It seems that I am so unkind, as if I had to force you to come."

Shen Wenqi cried out inwardly: "No, no, the governor has misunderstood. I have absolutely no such intention."

Madam Cao said, "You can't just find a woman to fool us. You can't lie about catching a cold. You can't even blush."

She looked at the woman again and said, "Okay, stop hiding it and take it off now."

The woman clenched her hands tightly and showed no intention of picking them.

Jiang Ruhuan stepped forward: "I also want to see who you are. You are impersonating me and even have a jade token."

The woman slowly put away the jade token without saying anything.

Yan Ruyu chuckled and said, "I'm afraid it's an old friend."

When she heard the word "old friend", the woman's movements froze noticeably.

Shen Wenqi was also a little annoyed: "Shut up, you are just a servant female doctor, do you have the right to speak?"

He looked at Jiang Tangli again: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but since you came here, there has been no peace in this mansion. Even the servants don't know the rules. How were they taught?"

Jiang Tangli couldn't bear with him now: "Shen Wenqi, don't change the subject, and don't put the blame on me. Who doesn't know the rules? You cheated on marriage and money, kept a mistress outside, and got pregnant and gave birth to a child. Now you say that our Jiang family doesn't know the rules. How can you be so shameless?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Madam Cao's eyes also fell on the woman's belly: "Ah, you, she...you guys..."

The woman held her hand to her belly and said nothing.

Shen Wenqi's face darkened: "Jiang Tangli, stop talking nonsense!"

"What are you yelling about?" Jiang Ruhuan said in a cold and calm voice, "Which word of hers is nonsense? Tell me."

"Shen Wenqi, you didn't cheat on your marriage or money, and you didn't have a mistress and children?"

"Tell me about it yourself."

Shen Wenqi froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed very slowly, with a sinister and terrifying look in his eyes.

"I would like to have a baby with you, but can you? Your own stomach is not cooperating and you are not satisfied. You are just a mother who doesn't lay eggs. Who can you blame?"
