Feng Jin Yuan also knew that once the Shen Clan entered the palace, no matter what, the Feng family would have to make a statement.
Consort Yun seemed to be without imperial favor, but if the Emperor did not have her in his heart, how could he dote on the son she gave birth to so much.
"Forget it!" He waved his hand, as though he wanted to chase away the endless worries, "If that vile woman can leave the palace alive, send her to Ming Yue Nunnery outside the city."
Feng Chen Yu closed her eyes in despair, as the sound of jade breaking rang out in her heart.
Was the Feng family giving up on her?
Inside Tong Sheng pavilion, Feng Yu Heng arranged for Qing Yu to go with eunuch Zhang to review the accounts. She also had the two bring the deed to Wonderful Treasure House. Now that the shopkeeper could no longer be used, and the things in the shop had been swapped out by the Shen Clan. There were not many things of value left. She simply had Wonderful Treasure House close its doors like Hundred Herb Hall. Once she finished taking care of the matters at hand, she would consider how to deal with them.
As for herself, she brought Huang Quan out of the manor. Their destination was a village in the suburbs of the capital.
Earlier, she had promised the old man who had bought the fake ginseng that she would personally visit a patient. She had to keep her promise.
The address was recorded by Huang Quan. When they arrived, they were just in time to see a family in the village getting married. On a small donkey was a girl with a red veil. Next to her was a wedding nanny. The bride carried a bundle on her shoulders. Presumably, it was filled with some clothes. It was bleak and cold, without the slightest hint of joy. A few villagers who had come to send the bride off followed them to the entrance of the village, but they also shook their heads and sighed.
Feng Yu Heng had the carriage stop to the side to make way for the donkey. The surrounding villagers' conversation drifted into her ears: "A perfectly fine girl is going to marry an idiot. It really is a pity."
"Old Chen's family has no other choice. Jiao Er's mother is sick to such an extent, and the family owes a huge debt. If she does not marry that idiot, where would the money come from to treat her mother's illness."
"Wasn't it said that the ginseng last time was used to prolong her life? Why hasn't it improved? "
"The ginseng is only keeping her alive. The prescription does not only contain ginseng. If she can't afford other medicines and doesn't have the money to hire a doctor, I think that the old ginseng will be used up and Jiao's mother will swallow her anger. "
Feng Yu Heng thought that the Old Chen family that the villagers were talking about was most likely the one she was looking for. She hurriedly asked the coachman to continue.
The carriage drove into the village, and after several turns, it finally stopped at a remote corner.
Huang Quan helped Feng Yu Heng out of the car. They saw that this so-called family was actually a thatched shed. There were obvious openings on all sides. A curtain hung at the door was the door.
This scene reminded her of the place where the original owner of the body had lived for three years in Xiping Village. She sighed in her heart.
Huang Quan took the lead and lifted the curtain. In the small space, there was an old couple, one sitting and one lying down. The person sitting was the old man he saw at Baicao Tang that day.
When the old man saw someone come, he was stunned at first. Then he realized that it was actually Feng Yu Heng. He was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
The old lady was very sick. She struggled for a long time but couldn't get up. However, she kept asking, "Is Jiao 'er back?"
Old Chen's nose twitched. He turned around and casually wiped his face. Then he said to Feng Yu Heng, "Miss, why are you here?"
"Last time, I promised that I would personally examine Auntie. I never go back on my words." She smiled faintly and walked to the straw couch. She sat down next to the old lady. "Auntie, let me see your hand."
Old man Chen looked at Feng Yu Heng, who was wearing a clean and bright dress, sitting on his dirty straw bed. He felt both embarrassed and moved. He never had any hope that Feng Yu Heng would personally come. It was already a great kindness for her to give him a ginseng for free. How could such a rich young lady come to a place where lowly people lived?
But Feng Yu Heng really came.
He hurriedly said to his wife, "This is the great benefactor who gave us the ginseng! She is the owner of the Hundred Herb Hall in the capital! "
When the old lady heard this, she wanted to get up and kowtow to her benefactor. However, she was stopped by Feng Yu Heng. "Auntie, treating the illness is more important."
She carefully checked the old lady's pulse. The old lady's illness was really similar to what she expected. Overworking and getting sick, coupled with the old lady's age, geriatric diseases came knocking on the door. In modern medicine, it wasn't too serious. However, in this ancient era where there was no medical treatment, it was a fatal disease.
"Auntie, let me ask you. Do you often feel pain in your heart, accompanied by suffocation and difficulty breathing?" She put down the old lady's wrist and began to ask about the illness.
The old lady was very surprised that such a young girl could actually diagnose her illness. Moreover, she could describe her illness so accurately. She couldn't help but nod her head, "Benefactor is completely correct."
"En." Feng Yu Heng asked again, "Does this kind of pain start from your heart and gradually spread to your shoulders, arms, and even your fingers? Moreover, the pain is getting more and more intense, and the duration is also getting longer and longer. "
"How do you know?" The old lady was completely conquered by Feng Yu Heng. "None of the old doctors who came to see me before were as accurate as benefactor."
When Old Man Chen heard this, he hurriedly said, "The owner of the Hundred Herb Hall is naturally the most powerful person!"
Feng Yu Heng smiled and didn't explain. She knew in her heart that this old lady had coronary heart disease. However, in this era where there was a lack of medical equipment, she couldn't guarantee how long she could last just by relying on medicine. Moreover, with the Chen family's conditions, it didn't look like a place where a patient could recuperate in peace.
"There's a medicine box in the carriage. I'll go get it myself. Uncle Chen, go get a bowl of water first. My servant will take care of aunty." Feng Yu Heng didn't let Huang Quan follow her and returned to the carriage by herself.
As soon as she entered the carriage, she immediately let down the curtain. She opened the small medicine box inside and used her mind to rummage through the pharmacy space. Finally, she found several types of medicine for coronary heart disease. After picking through them again, she removed the packaging and put them into the empty porcelain bottle prepared in the medicine box.
When she returned to the thatched cottage, Old Man Chen had already brought the water. She fed the old lady the medicine and then handed the porcelain bottle to Old Man Chen. She told him the time to take the medicine and what to pay attention to. Only then did she feel relieved and bid farewell.
Old Man Chen didn't know how to thank her and directly said that he wanted to kowtow to thank her for her kindness.
Feng Yu Heng thought about it and said to him, "If your daughter didn't marry well, you can still win her back if you chase after her now." As she spoke, she took out a banknote worth fifty taels from her sleeve. "No matter what, Uncle Chen and Hundred Herb Hall are fated. If it weren't for Uncle Chen, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been able to uncover the trick so quickly. Consider this my gift to Uncle Chen. Go and bring Jiao Er back. If she's willing, tell her to come see me at Hundred Herb Hall in three days. "
What should be done had been done and what should be said had been said. Feng Yu Heng didn't stay any longer and returned to the carriage with Huang Quan. The coachman shouted and the carriage drove away from the village.
Huang Quan seemed to understand why Feng Yu Heng wanted the Chen family's daughter to come to Hundred Herb Hall. He couldn't help but ask, "Young Miss, do you want to recruit more people?"
Feng Yu Heng didn't hide it from her and nodded seriously, "That's right. When I left the capital, I was still young and didn't know anything. This big capital was simply a strange place to me. If I didn't have people I could trust by my side, I wouldn't even know when I would be sold off. "
Huang Quan agreed with her words, "That's right. The Feng family made the three shops into this state. If there were people on our side in the shops, how could we let the Feng family bully them like this?"
Feng Yu Heng didn't say anything else. Cultivating her own power was one thing. She also had an idea about Hundred Herb Hall that had been hovering in her mind these past few days.
Due to her occupation in her previous life, there would always be times when her hands would itch when she saw patients. If Hundred Herb Hall could develop into something similar to a hospital, she could focus on nurturing a few professionals in this area. For this era, wouldn't that count as a blessing?
Feng Yu Heng had always been brooding over Xuan Tianming's injuries. In the end, the medical conditions didn't allow it. She had a lot of skills, but she didn't have the equipment to help her. If the Dashun Dynasty could gradually improve the medical conditions, then there wouldn't be more people following in their footsteps.
Of course, this was all for later. She knew that before everything stabilized, everything was just wishful thinking.
She closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the carriage to rest. Huang Quan also followed her example and leaned to the side.
However, not long after, Feng Yu Heng's ears trembled sensitively.
She heard a sound. It was as if something was whistling through the air, carrying a strong murderous intent.
She and Huang Quan opened their eyes at the same time and reacted at the same time. Feng Yu Heng leaned back and went straight to the window. Huang Quan pulled out the sword at his waist and blocked the curtain in front of him. At the same time, he shouted to the coachman, "Be careful!"
Just as Feng Yu Heng rushed out of the window, Huang Quan's sword was hit by a sharp arrow. The force of the arrow was so great that the web between her thumb and forefinger was numb.
Fortunately, they avoided this disaster. If they hadn't discovered it early, the arrow would have been aimed at Feng Yu Heng's heart.
Huang Quan sucked in a breath of cold air. Without saying anything, he also jumped out of the window.
The two were not far away, so they immediately met after landing. Feng Yu Heng asked Huang Quan worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Huang Quan felt warm and hurriedly said, "I'm fine. Miss, are you hurt?"
"No."
After learning about each other's situation, the two didn't talk anymore. They stood back to back vigilantly. One of them held a sword, while the other held a few silver needles between her fingers.
Soon, countless masked men in black rushed over from all directions and surrounded the two women.
These people in black did not waste any words. Holding long swords, they came forward and slashed. The slashing caused Feng Yu Heng to frown. Fuck, wasn't the standard way to start a situation like this to begin with some opening remarks? She had to ask who the other party was, and then the other party would say, "There's nothing to say to a dead person." That was the right way!
The twelve-year-old girl held the fine silver needles in her palms. On one hand, she was depressed that her first encounter in ancient life didn't follow the routine. On the other hand, she was also thinking about whether she could successfully break out of the encirclement.
Huang Quan's martial arts were very high, and his swordsmanship was superb. Although she clearly saw that her Miss was not easy to deal with, she still tried her best to protect her, for fear that she would be hurt.
In fact, Feng Yu Heng wanted Huang Quan to run first. As long as Huang Quan was not there, she could disappear into thin air at any time and place. No matter how many thieves there were, they couldn't find her. But now, she couldn't be too blatant. She didn't want to be regarded as a monster.
Unfortunately, her small body was really disappointing. After a few rounds, her legs and stomach were already cramping. Feng Yu Heng felt that if she continued to fight, even if she was not killed by this group of people, she would be exhausted to death. What's more, she had always been good at close combat and shooting. In this kind of swordsmanship, she could hardly get close to the enemy, let alone fight.
