After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"Ah!"

Li Tang was in the middle. Xiao Xuetang felt a chill on her back for some reason and said to herself, "It must be Ye Jin who went to the palace to complain..."

Xiao Xuetang ordered Qiyue, "We can't just sit there and wait for news from Uncle Qi. Prepare the car, I have to go to Jishan Hall!"

Jishantang is just opposite Baicaotang. These days, they have been looking for evidence that Ye Jin's Baicaotang deliberately raised the price of medicine, causing the rampant in Jingdu...

Xiao Xuetang had no way of intervening in military affairs as Xiao Yi and the Wang family were protecting Ye Jin. However, Ye Jin had obviously aroused public anger regarding the plague. Could she still get away with it?

……

At this time in the palace, Ye Jin bowed respectfully to Queen Wang and presented all his most valuable treasures to the Queen.

"I heard that Your Majesty has been troubled by the search for a birthday gift for His Majesty. I have a twelve-panel agarwood screen in my hand. A skilled craftsman has carved a pattern of mountains and rivers on it. Although it is not expensive, it is exquisite. I hope Your Majesty will accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people accompanying him lifted the gauze covering the screen. Everyone first smelled a strange fragrance, and then saw that the agarwood screen was carved with a lifelike picture of rivers and mountains, and they all clapped their hands in amazement.

Only Queen Wang sat on the Phoenix Throne, her expression still cold. This was a treatment Ye Jin had never received before.

A few years ago, Ye Jin saved Queen Wang when she accompanied Emperor Yonghui on a secret visit, and she has always admired Ye Jin.

Later, Ye Jin followed Marquis Yong'an back to Kyoto. Queen Wang was very caring towards Ye Jin, even more than the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. She had never treated Ye Jin so coldly.

Ye Jin knew it very well, and he thought that what happened yesterday must have reached Queen Wang's ears.

At that moment, Ye Jin made up his mind and knelt down in front of Queen Wang with a plop, his knees hitting the bluestone bricks with a heavy sound.

Queen Wang, who was originally casually stirring her teacup, finally raised her eyes and looked at Ye Jin, smiling and asking, "Jin'er, what are you doing?"

Although Queen Wang was not angry, her aura was oppressive. Ye Jin knelt even lower.

Ye Jin, who always liked to preach equality for all in front of the Xiao sisters and never kowtowed to his stepmother Xie, was humble as dust in the face of absolute power.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have concealed the fact that Your Majesty knew the Third Prince. I have come to the palace today to apologize to Your Majesty. Please give me a chance to explain..."

"I approached the Third Prince not for my own selfish desires, but for the sake of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing this, a hint of interest finally flashed across the queen's cold eyes. She asked the nanny beside her to help Ye Jin up and said with a smile, "Tell me more in detail. Come, please give me a seat."

When Ye Jin was helped up by the palace servants, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

She only dared to sit on the side of the Queen's last chair, because she knew better than anyone that Queen Wang seemed kind but was actually cruel and ruthless.

If she could not give Queen Wang a satisfactory explanation today, she would definitely not be able to leave Fengyi Palace alive...

To achieve wealth and glory in the future, start today!

Ye Jin asked Queen Wang in return: "Your Majesty, who do you think will truly threaten the Crown Prince's position in Kyoto today? Could it really be the powerless Third Prince?"

Her voice was faint and filled with an inexplicable allure...

Even the queen's expression changed slightly at this moment, and her sharp phoenix eyes stared at Ye Jin: "What do you want to say?"

Under the Queen's sharp gaze, Ye Jin said calmly: "Your Majesty knows very well that the real threat to the Crown Prince's position is not Lin Shaoshu, but the Regent Lin Xun!"

"The regent has great power and a large army. He is loyal to His Majesty because His Majesty is the late emperor's brother... But if one day he learns the truth of what happened back then, will he still support His Majesty and the crown prince?"

With a bang, the queen's face showed a trace of anger and fear. She stared at Ye Jin for a long time before she trembled in her voice: "What do you know?"

Ye Jin only said four words...

'The light and the axe!'

……

At the same time, Xiao Xuetang's carriage also stopped at Jishan Hall.

Compared to the bustling Yan Xinji, Jishan Hall seemed a bit quiet and deserted, especially after Baicaotang opened opposite Jishan Hall, most of the customers were taken away by them, leaving only a few old customers.

But in this old pharmacy filled with the aroma of wood and herbs, time seems to have stopped and passes exceptionally slowly.

"Miss!"

When the old shopkeeper Qi saw that it was Xiao Xuetang, he was very surprised and said, "You haven't been here for a while."

Xiao Xuetang said, "Yes, there have been a lot of things going on in the Marquis' Mansion recently, so I am free today."

Xiao Xuetang completely put aside his worries and asked about the old manager's clinic.

The old shopkeeper sighed and said, "Ever since the wicked Baicaotang across the street opened, all the customers who come to our Jishantang are regulars."

Jishantang has been open in Kyoto for many years. Because the doctors in Jishantang are highly skilled and the herbal medicines are reasonably priced, they are often given to the poor for free, so it has a very good reputation in Kyoto.

However, half a year ago, Baicaotang appeared out of nowhere. As soon as it appeared, it bought half a street to open a clinic and a drug store, directly competing with Jishantang.

The doctors there not only treated illnesses, but also performed acupuncture and massage. Some of their boss's secret recipes attracted many dignitaries, so Jishantang's business plummeted thereafter.

This Jishantang was originally a shop opened by the third master of the Xie family out of his hobby. Later, the third master of the Xie family was exiled back to Dongshan, and the shop was handed over to Xiao Xuetang to manage.

In his previous life, the shops under Xiao Xuetang's name had a lot of business. After the business of Jishantang was taken away, he didn't take it seriously. It was not until Manager Wu was framed by the people of Baicaotang and forced to hand over the secret recipe that Xiao Xuetang knew that Ye Jin was behind the so-called Baicaotang.

Baicaotang is a medical clinic and drugstore on the surface, but in reality it is used by Ye Jin to make money, and they will stop at nothing to do so.

Relying on their strong financial backing, they suppressed some small clinics, bribed the Jingzhao government to fabricate murder cases, and forced the doctors in the clinics to hand over their ancestral secret recipes.

In addition, when an epidemic comes, they buy up medicinal materials for treating the epidemic in large quantities and then sell them at high prices. This is also one of Ye Jin’s usual methods!

However, few people knew about what Ye Jin did behind the scenes. When others mentioned Ye Jin, they all praised her, praising her for being as capable as any man.

Oh, with such a character, he deserves it!

"I have rules for Baicaotang's affairs, but it is not advisable to act rashly at the moment, so you should just take some time off these days and don't argue with them."

Xiao Xuetang said to the old shopkeeper worriedly.

This Baicaotang is very strange, and the only ones who dare to touch it are Ji Jianyuan and Lin Xun!

Xiao Xuetang wanted to deal with Ye Jin, but she didn't want to involve Jishan Hall and the old manager. After all, this was her uncle's hard work and it was a very special place to her.

The old shopkeeper was happy: "Don't worry, young lady. I am an old man, so I don't have the energy to compete. I just don't interfere with Baicaotang. But a few days ago, a young man with a heroic appearance took some herbs for curing epidemics with your token."

Xiao Xuetang knew that the young man the old shopkeeper was talking about must be Mu Han. She felt a little regretful. If she had known his identity, she should not have given him any guidance when they were outside the city.

However, he was not only helping Mu Han, but also the villagers around Mu Han. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuetang felt much better and said, "That man... is my good friend. Everyone in his village was infected with the plague, so he came to me for help."

"Come to think of it, that young man came into town this morning..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang instantly became alert and said, "What is he doing here? Is he looking for trouble?"

If the old shopkeeper hadn’t reminded him, Xiao Xuetang would have almost forgotten about Mu Han!

In his previous life, Mu Han was Ye Jin's most loyal licker...
