The spring scenery is just right.
On Yuquan Mountain, a whole sea of flowers is blowing in the wind, colorful and charming.
"There is a hot spring on the mountain, suitable for planting flowers and plants. The front mountain is a flower garden, and the back mountain is a medicine garden. They were all left by my mother during her lifetime..." On the mountain road, Jiang Rong pointed to the sea of flowers and introduced it to Xie Lingxi.
The medicines in this medicine garden are now supplied to three medicine shops.
The garden is provided for the Jiang family to use.
"I come here to stay for a while every winter. Look at the yard over there, here we are!"
Jiang Cai, the manager of the villa, trotted up to meet her, with a hint of complaint in his tone, "Why is the second lady here? She didn't say anything in advance. We didn't prepare anything."
"You don't need to prepare anything, I'll just come and take a look." Jiang Rong said calmly. She knew that Jiang Cai was from the Chang family...
The store stewards are also members of the Chang family.
Now is not the time to touch them.
So as not to alert the enemy.
"How can you, the manager, be so rude to the Crown Princess? When will the master come and I need to report to you?" Jade glared angrily at Jiang Cai and looked at Jiang Rong:
"Prince Princess, this person is so disrespectful, why not replace him!"
Jiang Cai's face trembled in fright, but thinking of Mrs. Chang, he frowned and said:
"Second Miss, this old servant is a loyal slave of the Jiang family. He will be loyal to the Jiang family for the rest of his life. You cannot change my old slave..."
"You are loyal to the Jiang family, then go to the Jiang family. The wife of this prince can do whatever she wants." Xie Lingxi glanced at him coldly, with a look of disdain in her eyes:
"Can't change? What a joke!"
No one in the capital knows that the prince of the North is known as a playboy.
He is just an unreasonable young man who does whatever he wants.
"Second Miss! I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts!" As soon as Jiang Cai saw Xie Lingxi speaking and knew that this person had no taboos, he immediately gave up and knelt in front of Jiang Rong and begged:
"I'm just... I'm just worried that I haven't prepared food in advance... I can't satisfy you. I'm loyal..."
Jiang Rong said calmly, "If you say something rude, you'll slap me fifty times."
Passing by Jiang Cai, Jiang Rong walked inside. Jade proudly ordered her servants to slap Jiang Cai...
Jiang Cai was resentful, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only look at Jiang Rong's back with hatred.
……
"I want to sort out my mother's manuscripts. If the prince feels bored, why not go for a walk? The scenery here is nice and you can take a look." Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi and said with a smile.
Xiao Nanxing immediately took a step forward, "Does the Crown Princess understand medical skills? If she doesn't understand, there may be mistakes. I am proficient in medical skills, so why don't I let you sort it out together..."
He had already received the prince's order to look for clues to the Nine Wonderful Medicines.
"Then there's Doctor Lao Xiao!" Jiang Rong was convinced and quickly thanked him.
She really doesn't know medical skills.
So the group of people walked to the door of the bookstore.
On the old door, there is a copper lock that has been rusted by weather and frost. Jiang Rong took out a copper key and opened the door...
For a moment, I was stunned.
I saw that the rows of bookshelves, which should have been filled with manuscripts, were empty at this time.
Jiang Rong rushed in quickly, looking to the west...
In the center of the book pavilion is placed a square tripod with a lotus and a crane pattern on the west foot. It contained thick ashes and a few unburned pages.
Jiang Rong picked up one of the pages and clenched his fists angrily, "It's mother's handwriting..."
This is the manuscript left by my mother.
"Who... burned all the manuscripts? This is... the hard work of a doctor!" Xiao Nanxing felt the same, regretful and angry.
Xie Lingxi's eyes wandered around the house, approached the window sill to check, and then looked up at the roof...
There are no signs of breaking the windows or turning the tiles...
"Who still has the key?" Xie Lingxi looked at Jiang Rong.
"No more." Jiang Rong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "But Jiang Cai knows best who has been here."
soon.
Jingzhe brought Jiang Cai over with his old face red and swollen.
As soon as he saw the scene in the bookstore, Jiang Cai felt bad in his heart.
"Tell me, who burned my mother's manuscript?" Jiang Rong's voice was cold.
Jiang Cai tried to muddle through and shook his head tremblingly, "I don't know..."
"Then kill him." Jiang Rong said coldly.
Jiang Cai was shocked.
Before he could react, Jingzhe's knife was already on his neck.
"Second Miss, spare your life! Old slave... How can you explain to the Second Lady that you killed this old slave?" Jiang Cai's face turned pale and he hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Since you said you didn't know, then it's your fault. If you destroyed my mother's relics, my aunt would only praise me for killing it well." Jiang Rong's voice was cold.
Jingzhe's blade gently scratched Jiang Cai's neck...
"It hurts, it hurts...Second Miss, please spare your life, this really has nothing to do with the villain! The villain has recruited me, the villain has recruited them all!" Jiang Cai felt a pain in his neck and blood spattered down. He was really worried that he would be killed in the next moment. Separated, anxiously said:
"The relics of the eldest lady were not destroyed by the villain! A year ago, the second lady suddenly asked the villain to give the slaves a day off and sent everyone in the village away..."
"That day, the villain saw smoke coming from the villa from a distance. These manuscripts were burned by the second lady and have nothing to do with the villain..."
Jiang Rong lowered her eyebrows, she figured it out.
After her cousin came in her previous life, she told Mrs. Chang that she was going to sort out her mother's belongings, but before she could go, the villa caught fire...
The manuscript was not burned two years later at all.
It's long been ruined.
The fire in the previous life was just to cover up.
Chang deliberately sent all his servants away...
Obviously, besides her, there was another shady person who came here that day.
Moreover, if it was Chang's idea, why wait until now?
Jiang Rong was only three years old when his father died. From then on, the villa was in the hands of the Chang family...
She could have ruined everything long ago.
This key, together with the land deed, was returned to Jiang Rong today.
Behind the Chang family, there is another mastermind.
Jiang Cai saw Jiang Rong's face getting more and more ugly, knowing that he couldn't take care of it well, and he was afraid that he would die, so he struggled to survive:
"Second Miss, please forgive me...these manuscripts...the villain has a copy of these manuscripts...if you are willing to let the villain live, I will give you the manuscript. Otherwise, the villain will destroy the manuscript..."
Xiao Nanxing kicked him angrily, "You can't enter the bookstore, so you want to take a few books and pretend to be a deceiver?"
"The villain really has a copy! Although the villain doesn't have a key, he is a little proficient in matching keys. If he has a lock, he can match it..." Jiang Cai said hurriedly:
"On the black market, the Bai family's prescription can be sold for one hundred taels of silver! The old slave really copied it word for word! It's all money! The villain definitely didn't copy it wrong!"
The Bai family in Jiangbei has been famous for its doctors from generation to generation. The Bai family's prescriptions are very popular.
Jiang Cai secretly copied the medical books left by Mr. Bai and secretly sold them for money.
