I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

"This ginseng was sent by the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion."

Mrs. Zhou Er gasped, "Then...how could that poor guy come up with such a valuable ginseng?"

The last time she went to the Mansion of Marquis Pingyang, she saw it with all her heart. She still remembered how simple and shabby the Mansion was!

Are they pretending to be poor on purpose?

But it doesn’t look like it!

Zhou Minglang didn't want his wife to guess, "I heard that the couple who just came into the Gong family used to run a medicine store. It's normal for them to take out a ginseng."

Mrs. Zhou Er is not a woman without vision.

"Although you helped solve the case of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion twenty years ago, it was also your duty. They don't need to send such a heavy gift, right? What's more, didn't you say that the couple from the Gong family saved your life?"

Madam Zhou Er just finished speaking when she realized what he meant. "It seems that they have other intentions! Since the late emperor, he has been suppressing the nobles. Now, His Majesty has followed the late emperor's wishes and has also suppressed those old nobles. If you speak for the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion at this time, I'm afraid..."

"Madam, don't worry. I can make the arrangements freely." Zhou Minglang did not say that the emperor still lacked favors from others!

As long as he brings the couple to the capital and makes them the heir to the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, he probably won't have to say anything.

After Shen Rong and the others came out of Helou, they went straight to the clinic.

When they arrived, Zhang Liuniang's daughter had taken medicine and her fever had subsided.

Zhang Liuniang was relieved to see that the child's fever had subsided. When she saw Shen Rong and the others coming back, she hurried over to thank them.

"I wonder what Madam Zhang's plans are for the future?" Shen Rong asked, touching Yun'er's forehead.

When Zhang Liuniang thought about what had happened to herself and her daughter, she almost cried again.

"I have no where to go now, please take me and my daughter in, Madam Shen."

Shen Rong was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether to give or not give the indenture contract in her hand.

"What are you..."

Zhang Liuniang did not embarrass Shen Rong and told her about her experience.

It turned out that she had opened a small rouge shop in the county town with the recipe for making gouache, taking over the shop of her cousin in the county town.

The business was booming in the first few years, but not long after, her husband had a mistress and they had a son.

After having a son, the concubine conspired with her husband to steal Madam Zhang's rouge recipe in an attempt to take over the shop.

Mrs. Zhang's husband was a little hesitant at first, because Mrs. Zhang's cousin's husband was an official. Although he was transferred to a remote place, the man still had some concerns in his heart.

But I didn't expect that the concubine had some relationship with the Earl of Yiyong's Mansion in the capital.

Thinking of getting a chance to get into Earl Yiyong's mansion, Madam Zhang's husband divorced his wife without hesitation, and with the instigation of his mistress, he sold the mother and daughter out directly.

Zhang wanted to seek help from her parents' home, but the mistress threatened her that if she went back to her parents' home for help, the Zhang family would be taken care of as well.

The imperial court had a rule that merchants could not take the imperial examinations. The Zhang family had been merchants for generations. Except for Zhang Liuniang's cousin who married a sixth-rank official, no one in the entire Zhang family held an official position. If they were to go against the Earl of Yiyong's Mansion, they would probably be skinned alive.

Mrs. Zhang didn't want to be a burden to her family, so she was secretly sold to the north by her husband.

The mother and daughter followed the human trafficker all the way and finally arrived in the capital.

Shen Rong was deeply moved when she heard Zhang Liuniang's story.

She thought of Shen Yuan, now Chen Yuan, who was the daughter of the Yiyong Marquis. The rouge and powder that Madam Zhang made were all based on the recipes from Shen Yuan.

Although Chen Yuan had no evidence to prove that the recipe for rouge and powder in Zhang Liuniang's shop was hers, she was powerful now and did not need any evidence. She could destroy someone else's hard work with just a few words and trample them under her feet.

When Shen Rong thought about this, she felt a little guilty. If this was true, then the experience of Zhang Niangzi and her daughter was also related to her.

Shen Rong thought about it and returned the indentures of the two to Zhang Liuniang.

"I'm afraid they came for the rouge recipe. If I hadn't bought the house from you, you wouldn't have suffered this. This is the indenture, take it."

Zhang Liuniang did not answer. She shook her head and said, "Since Madam Shen has bought my mother and me, we are yours. We are not going anywhere."

As long as the Yiyong Marquis's Mansion was still there, she could not return to her parents' home. It would be better for her to work for others outside to support her daughter.

Zhang Liuniang understood clearly. Seeing that Shen Rong was about to say something, she hurriedly said, "Madam Shen, don't be so quick to refuse. Although I used to be in charge of the shop, I can make rouge and powder. You will definitely not lose money if you buy from me."

Zhang Liuniang didn't know that Shen Rong and the other two were from the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. She thought they opened a clinic in the capital city like they did in Yunmeng County before.

If that were the case, she wouldn't have to take the lead in the future. She could just make rouge and powder in the back and sell them in the clinic.

Presumably, anyone who knows her ability would not refuse her proposal.

Shen Rong was indeed moved.

She thought of the grand scene she saw in Zhang Liuniang's shop in the county town.

If I could really make those rouges again and open a shop, the business would only get better, not worse.

In this way, the mansion had an additional source of income.

Shen Rong thought for a moment and said, "In that case, then come with us into the mansion first! If you want to leave in the future, you can come and get your indenture at any time."

Of course Zhang Liuniang would be unwilling.

How much hardship did they endure all the way north? Naturally, they were more than happy to be able to settle down.

The couple brought Zhang Liuniang and her daughter into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and settled them in a small courtyard.

Zhang Liuniang never thought that she would actually enter the Marquis' Mansion. Although this Marquis' Mansion looked very simple, at this time Zhang Liuniang only knew that the title of the Marquis' Mansion was higher than that of the Earl's Mansion. Her uneasy heart settled down, and she had a little more expectation for the future.

The next day, in the imperial study.

"Well, you came to me in such a hurry right after the court session. What's the matter?"

The young emperor sat at the desk, holding cinnabar in his hand, without raising his head.

After Zhou Minglang left the court, he went to the imperial study to ask to see his cousin, the emperor.

Seeing that his cousin the emperor was busy at the moment, he did not keep him in suspense and asked, "I wonder if my cousin remembers the young couple we met in Taohua Village?"

Zhao Xi raised his head and shot Zhou Minglang with a sharp gaze, "Continue."

Although Zhao Xi's eyes were fixed on the memorial, a beautiful figure slowly emerged in his mind, and then the face of a silly young man appeared in his mind. Zhao Xi lowered the corners of his mouth, and the aura around him became colder.

Zhou Minglang touched his nose. Ever since his cousin became emperor, he has become colder and less talkative.

"Ahem...They have entered Beijing."

There was no expression on Zhao Xi's face, and he still looked like he was reading a memorial.

Seeing this, Zhou Minglang hurriedly continued, "Cousin, you would never have thought that Changsheng, the idiot from Taohua Village, was actually the only heir to the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion."
