Once the words one million came out, Feng Chen Yu immediately knew that she had been played.
She glared at Feng Yu Heng and said through gritted teeth: "You did it on purpose, right? You knew that I had that one million in banknotes, so you thought of a way to trick me! Is that right? "
Feng Yu Heng nodded and very honestly said: "Yes, everything is correct. It's just that I did not think of a way. Instead, it was you who came to me. "
Feng Chen Yu was so angry that she nearly shattered her teeth from gritting them! But what could she do? She had indeed come to her, and she absolutely had to beg Feng Yu Heng for this matter.
She steadied herself and asked: "Is there no room for discussion at all?"
Feng Yu Heng sneered, "Someone wants to confuse me. When you poisoned me with medicine, why did you not come to discuss it with me? "She stared straight at Feng Chen Yu, her eyes shining with the light of a leopard. "Eldest sister, do you not understand the logic of spending money to avoid disaster?"
Of course, Chen Yu understood. It was just that she had promised this one million to Feng Jin Yuan long ago. Although her father had not asked her for it, based on her understanding of Feng Jin Yuan, it was not that he did not want it. Rather, he was thinking about where he should spend it.
"First do the pregnancy test you spoke of." Feng Chen Yu had a plan in mind. After determining that I am truly pregnant, we can discuss the next step.
"That's fine." Feng Yu Heng extended her hand to her, "Give it to me."
"What?" Chen Yu was stunned, "What do you want?"
"The banknotes! How about you pay in cash. I will take a bit of trouble and send someone to your courtyard to bring it over. "
"No need." Feng Chen Yu angrily rolled her eyes, "Help me take a look first. I will have someone go back and get it." As she spoke, she walked over to the door and opened it. She then whispered a few words into Yi Lin's ear, who was standing outside. Yi Lin then struggled to walk back through the heavy snow.
When she returned, there was something extra in Feng Yu Heng's hands. Chen Yu did not recognize what it was, so she naturally did not pay too much attention to it. She only said to Feng Yu Heng: "Yi Lin has already gone back to get it. You can take a look first."
Feng Yu Heng handed the thing in her hand to her. It was a long object. It was a small, transparent bowl made of an unknown material.
Chen Yu held it in her hand and felt it was a novelty, but when Feng Yu Heng explained to her what these two things were used for, her face immediately turned red "How … how could it be like that?"
"Why not?" Feng Yu Heng was unhappy. "Haven't you been to the outhouse before? Let me tell you, this is the most accurate way to determine if you are pregnant or not. Do you know how much these two things of mine are worth? Most importantly, it couldn't be bought no matter how much money you had! This was a treasure from Persia. Don't think that you spent ten thousand taels for nothing. I even feel that I asked for too little. "
Chen Yu once again experienced the depression of not being able to communicate normally with Feng Yu Heng. The things that she found difficult to say were casually said by him, and he did not feel embarrassed in the slightest. If she continued to act coquettishly, she would only lose even more face in front of Feng Yu Heng. It would be better to grit her teeth and use this thing. Either way, nobody would be able to see it.
Feng Chen Yu made her decision. Taking the thing, she went into the outhouse. When she came out, she handed the long object to Feng Yu Heng.
Two red lines. Feng Yu Heng shrugged: "Early pregnancy."
"What?" Chen Yu did not understand.
She explained once more, "It means that you are pregnant. It has already been confirmed."
"Can it be confirmed like this?"
"Yes." Feng Yu Heng nodded then said: "Extend your right wrist. Since you are not at ease, I will check your pulse."
Chen Yu quickly extended her wrist and saw Feng Yu Heng check it for a while before letting it go. It was still the same as before: "Early pregnancy."
Chen Yu sighed in despair. It seemed that between her future and money, she would have to make a choice.
"Think about it carefully." Feng Yu Heng stood up, "I will be going out of the manor today. In a moment, bring the banknotes and send them directly to the county princess' treasury. Qing Yu just happens to be here today. Just give it to her." After she finished speaking, she pushed open the door and left. Wang Chuan quickly entered the room to retrieve a cloak for her. Together with Huang Quan, they quickly followed behind her and left the courtyard.
Feng Chen Yu remained alone in the room. The thing that she had just used was still on the table. The thing with the two red lines was still clearly visible. She did not know what it was, but Feng Yu Heng had told her that the appearance of two lines meant that she was pregnant. If there was only one, then she was not pregnant. She believed Feng Yu Heng's words because the signs of pregnancy were already very clear.
Forcefully suppressing the nausea that welled up from the bottom of his heart, he sat for a while until Yi Lin came back, panting from exhaustion as she stepped on the thick snow. Only then did he get up and bring Yi Lin to Tong Sheng pavilion's accounts.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng was already walking on the main street. The snow from the previous day had been too heavy. It was such that carriages could not travel on the streets. If they wanted to go out, they could only wade through the snow one foot at a time. Many families were sweeping the snow, but they were also sweeping the snow in front of their own homes. After they had finished sweeping, they piled the snow to the side, causing the roads to become narrower and narrower.
The governor had also sent people out to sweep the snow, but there was a limit to the number of people. In the large capital, it was impossible to completely sweep the snow. Moreover, there were still some officials and nobles that wanted to take advantage of the situation. That was why the people sent out by the governor were all sent out to serve those families.
The group finally arrived at Hundred Herb Hall with great difficulty. Despite the cold weather, they were still sweating. When the clerk of Hundred Herb Hall saw that Feng Yu Heng had arrived, he quickly came forward to welcome her. While taking Feng Yu Heng's cloak, he said, "Boss, there aren't many people that came to see the doctor today, but there were quite a few that froze and fainted at the door last night. Shopkeeper Wang made the decision to carry them all into the shop and is currently treating them. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "You guys did the right thing." As she spoke, she walked inside. After passing through the outer hall, she lifted the curtain and saw at least seven or eight people lying inside. Wang Lin was currently directing a few clerks to give them medicinal soup. There was a brazier in the room, so it was very warm.
Feng Yu Heng did not say much. She went forward to check the patients' pulses. Most of these people were old people, and there were also two children. It was obvious that they were people that begged for a living. Yesterday's snow was truly disastrous. They had nowhere to hide, so it was normal for them to freeze and faint on the streets.
When these people saw that a well-dressed young lady was personally checking their pulses, they felt a bit embarrassed. They were even willing to extend their dirty wrists to her.
Wang Lin also saw Feng Yu Heng, but seeing that she didn't say anything and just went straight to work, he didn't hold back. He explained to everyone, "This is the boss of our Hundred Herb Hall. She is also County Princess Ji An, who was personally conferred the title by the emperor."
When he said this, everyone felt extremely flattered. A dignified county princess! She was actually personally checking the pulses of a group of beggars. This was something that they would never have dreamed of.
Wang Lin continued to explain, "Everyone, don't be shy. Our county princess is proficient in medicine. Hundred Herb Hall's famous Chinese medicine pills were personally made by her."
While Wang Lin was explaining, Feng Yu Heng checked the pulses of these people one by one. After that, she felt a bit more at ease. Because of their poor living conditions, they had a lot of chronic diseases. However, at least this snow disaster only brought them the initial cold. Because of Hundred Herb Hall's timely treatment, there weren't any more serious effects.
She told everyone, "Don't worry. Since you've entered Hundred Herb Hall, it is our duty to treat you." She looked at the medicinal decoctions that the workers were holding and nodded, "These are all decoctions that can help to warm the body. There are also ingredients that can strengthen the body's immune system. If everyone drinks these, you'll be better in at most one day."
The people did not understand what she meant by strengthening the body's immune system, but they knew that Feng Yu Heng meant that these decoctions were very good. Thus, they all rushed to drink the decoctions.
A woman in her early fifties was holding a child in her arms. She wiped away her tears and said, "Last night, the heavy snow collapsed the shack that we were living in. I thought that I wouldn't be able to survive, so I wanted to walk down the street and see if I could find a good family to send my child to. At least let him live. However, no matter who I knocked on, they wouldn't open the door. With such heavy snow, we couldn't walk. Some people said that Hundred Herb Hall is just ahead. The owner and shopkeeper are both living Bodhisattvas. Perhaps we can be saved there. That's why we rushed to Hundred Herb Hall. "
After she said this, the others all chimed in. They all felt that there was at least a chance of survival at Hundred Herb Hall.
Feng Yu Heng was very moved when she heard this. She also looked at Wang Lin with praise. She knew that she didn't care too much about this medicine shop. Most of it was managed by Wang Lin. For Hundred Herb Hall to have its current reputation, it was inseparable from Wang Lin's careful management and kind nature.
After receiving praise, Wang Lin felt a bit embarrassed. He quickly told the workers to add more charcoal to make the room warmer. He also told the people, "The snow outside has already stopped. Looking at the weather, it shouldn't be snowing anymore. You all can relax. Although Hundred Herb Hall can't keep you all here forever, it can at least help you all get through this difficult time. It won't let you all freeze or starve to death on the streets. "
Everyone was filled with gratitude. Wang Lin politely said a few words and quickly pulled Feng Yu Heng to the side hall.
"Young miss, we can't continue like this." His forehead was covered in sweat. It was unknown whether it was from his anxiety or the heat. "We can save eight people, but what if there are eighty people? This heavy snow has almost covered the entire capital. There are definitely more people affected by this. If everyone hears the news and comes to Hundred Herb Hall, then we won't have the ability to save them. "
"It's fine. Don't worry." Feng Yu Heng ordered Huang Quan and Wang Chuan to put the large paper bags in their hands on the table. "I brought some warm tea with me when I left the residence. There's no need to boil it. Just soak it in water. Go prepare a few large pots and boil some water. Also, go find some bowls. We'll set up a tent in front of Hundred Herb Hall. When people come and go, no matter who they are, we'll give them a free bowl of warm tea to drink. "
"Okay." Wang Lin nodded. "This way, there won't be as many people who will faint from the cold. There will also be warm tea to drink outside, so they won't fight to enter Hundred Herb Hall." He agreed, then took a few paper bags and went to prepare.
Wang Chuan was still worried. He said to Huang Quan, "You also go take a look. It's best if you ask the restaurants nearby to see if they can borrow some bowls. It's okay to pay less."
Huang Quan nodded and followed.
Feng Yu Heng was finally able to sit down and catch her breath. She was really tired from walking all the way here.
"Luckily it's a winter disaster. If it was a summer flood, then we would be in big trouble." She drank the hot tea Wang Chuan brought. She was still worried about Xuan Tianming. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you think there will be people sweeping the snow on the official road in the suburbs? If we have to walk to the military camp, how long will it take us to walk? "
Wang Chuan helplessly shook his head. "There's no need to think about walking. With such heavy snow, it's very likely that we won't be able to walk there even if we walk for three days and three nights. The situation in the capital is like this. How could there be people sweeping the snow in the suburbs? "
Feng Yu Heng sighed. She knew that there was no point in being anxious. She could only wait a few more days to see if the snow would melt a bit. After all, the official road had to be wide enough for carriages to travel.
The two of them were sitting and waiting for Wang Lin to finish his preparations so that they could go outside to distribute warm tea. Suddenly, the curtain opened and Huang Quan rushed in. His face was filled with anxiety. When he saw the two of them, he anxiously said, "Something happened in the suburbs!"
