Seeing that Qiao Yi's lips were dry and white, Shi Jingyang turned to Qing Ping and said, "Give Qiao Yi a cup of tea."
Qingping turned around and poured Qiao Yi a cup of tea.
Qiao Yi bowed to express his thanks, took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, and then continued: "The clerk from Yiyuan Drug Store went to Lu's breakfast shop to have breakfast. After learning about this, he went back and talked to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of Yiyuan Drug Store said that the Lu family had ruined their reputation and came to stop the Lu family from sending people to Guangming Drug Store for medical treatment.
The Lu family had no choice but to continue seeing doctors at Yiyuan Pharmacy.
This back and forth delayed Lu Shangqing's condition and dragged him to death.
The Lu family could not accept this fact, so they took the leftover medicine from Lu Shangxing and asked someone who knew medicine to check it.
You wouldn’t know if you didn’t check, but when you checked, you were shocked to find out that several of the medicines sold by Yiyuan Pharmacy were fake.”
Qingshan was shocked and blurted out, "Isn't it immoral to sell fake medicines? Unscrupulous profiteers will give up their conscience just to make some money."
Qiao Yi said: "Who says it's not?
The Lu family took the fake medicine to the Yamen to sue Yiyuan Drug Store, but they didn't know when the fake medicine was transferred.
Yiyuan Drug Store countersued the Lu family for making false accusations, which damaged the reputation of Yiyuan Drug Store and demanded that the Lu family compensate for the drug store's losses.
The government asked the Lu family to pay Yiyuan Pharmacy a thousand taels of silver, and the matter was finally settled. Poor Lu family, even after the death of their son, they were ordered to pay a loss of money. It was really a waste of money and money."
Qingshan said: "The Lu family will keep such important evidence in a safe place. How could the medicine be transferred? Where was it transferred? There must be something fishy here."
When Qiao thought about the tragedy of the Lu family, he felt sad and angry, and nodded: "Anyone with a discerning eye will know that there is something fishy here.
I just feel sorry for the Lu family, a hawker who came to Beijing to make a living. He wanted money but no one, and he had no one to help him. He had no way to redress his grievances, so he had to admit it.
Worse things happened later. The old mother of the Lu family couldn't bear the pain of the white family leaving the black family. She fell ill and passed away last month."
Qingshan complained for the Lu family, "This Yiyuan Drug Store is really bullying!"
Qingping's temperament was much calmer than Qingshan's. He looked at Qiao Yi and asked, "Who is the owner of Yiyuan Drug Store? Have you checked?"
Qiao Yi leaned forward and said, "I have checked, and Yiyuan Pharmacy is the dowry of Mrs. Xiao Zhao of Ning Mansion on Qili Street."
As soon as Qingshan heard about Ning Mansion in Qili Street, he immediately thought of Ning Yu. His eyes lit up and he turned to look at Shi Jingyang, "Master, could it be that Mr. Ning is going to fight back?"
Shi Jingyang frowned slightly. Ning Yu had moved out of Ning Mansion since he injured his leg and hadn't walked around for a long time. How did he know about these things? Ning Yu didn't necessarily know.
Besides Ning Yu, there is Ning Wei. This matter should be done by Ning Wei.
Mr. Zhao bullied her one after another, she was going to take action!
Was she also bullied by Zhao in her last life?
Shi Jingyang had almost no memory of her past.
I vaguely remember that at that time, she was very reticent and could hardly feel her presence.
Thinking of this, Shi Jingyang felt very guilty. He used to care too little about her.
Qiao Yi shook his head and said: "Second Master Ning has been concentrating on preparing for the exam these days. I am afraid that Second Master Ning does not know about this."
Qingping looked at Shi Jingyang, "Master, look at this..."
Shi Jingyang didn't reply to Qingping's words. He looked at Qiao Yi and asked, "How long have you been investigating this matter?"
Qiao Yi leaned forward and said: "Come back to me, it didn't take long. I only started investigating five days ago. Mr. Hu gave me the address of Lu's house and asked me to come and investigate this matter."
The index finger of Shi Jingyang's right hand gently tapped the armrest, thinking about how to help Ning Wei.
Selling counterfeit medicines in drug stores is not a trivial matter, as it affects people's lives. This is against Daliang's laws.
According to Daliang's law, anyone who sells counterfeit medicines, once found out, will be severely punished, with a cane of more than fifty, and will be put in shackles and paraded in front of the drug store.
Of course, even so, there are still people who do illegal things for money.
Yiyuan Pharmacy dares to do this and is protected by the government. The people involved behind it must not be simple.
If only Qiao Yi went to check, he might not be able to do it. If the other party discovered it, he might encounter something unexpected.
Shi Jingyang looked at Qingping and said, "Go check this case and see who from Jingzhao Mansion handled it?"
Qingping bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."
Seeing that Qingping had taken charge, Qingshan hurriedly asked: "Master, what should I do, little one?"
Shi Jingyang said: "Go and investigate the counterfeit medicines sold by Yiyuan Pharmacy. Remember, you should investigate in secret and don't alert the enemy."
Qingshan bowed and said, "Okay, I understand." If he dares to do such an immoral thing, he will definitely regret it.
Qiao Yi looked at Shi Jingyang, "Master, where is the little one? What will the little one do next?"
Shi Jingyang thought for a while and said: "You follow Hu Rui's arrangement. Feed back the information found by Qingshan Qingping and others to Hu Rui. By the way, what does Hu Rui ask you to do?"
Qiao Yi said: "Mr. Hu asked Xiao Xiao to find out the ins and outs of the matter first. According to Mr. Hu's wishes, he plans to find out and then encourage the Lu family to go to the government to file a complaint. Xiao Xiao knows this, and Mr. Xi didn't say anything else."
Shi Jingyang nodded, "I understand, you go back first."
The next day, in Baoping Lane, Ning Wei received a message from Jiang Xingyu's messenger, asking her to go to Fengle Building to discuss matters.
After Ning Wei simply packed up, she took Hu Rui and Zaohua out.
When he arrived at the door, Ning Wei saw that the driver was not Chang Le, but a stranger.
Ning Wei was about to ask, when Aunt Wu's voice sounded from behind her, "Miss Cousin, madam, please tell me that from now on, whenever Master Cousin or Miss Cousin goes out, Xu Yan and Xu Lei will follow them.
Xu Yan and Xu Lei have been practicing martial arts with our uncle since they were young, and it is up to them to protect the safety of the young master and the young lady."
Ning Wei did not expect that Mrs. Liu planned everything for their brothers and sisters, and was very moved.
She thanked Aunt Wu Fushen: "Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, my cousin. I'll tell my cousin that Wei'er will come back and say thank you in person."
Aunt Wu smiled and bent her knees and said: "Okay, I will pass on my cousin's words to my wife. My cousin has something to go out, so I won't delay my cousin."
Ning Wei nodded slightly, "Thank you, mama."
After Mother Wu left, Ning Wei turned to look at the coachman and asked, "Are you Xu Yan or Xu Lei?"
Xu Yan leaned forward and said, "Miss, little Xu Yan."
The man standing not far from Xu Yan leaned forward and said, "Little Xu Lei."
Ning Wei said to the two of them, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Yan and Xu Lei hurriedly avoided the situation, leaned down and said, "My cousin, I can't help you."
Ning Wei was not too polite, nodded towards the two of them, and then said: "Let's go."
Zaohua stepped forward and lifted the curtain, "Miss, get in the car."
Ning Wei got on the car first, followed by Yue Niang, Zaohua waited for the two of them to get on the car, and then got on.
Xu Yan put away the footstool, got on the carriage, and drove out, "Miss Cousin, are we going to Fengle Building?"
Ning Wei responded: "Yes, go to Fengle Tower."
When the car left the Xu Mansion, Yueniang opened the curtains of the car and looked over, and saw Xu Lei and four nurses following the carriage.
Yue Niang pulled back and said to Ning Wei: "Mrs. Liu treats you very attentively."
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, thanks to my grandmother for her contribution. The kindness my cousin and grandmother treated her has been repaid to my brother and me."
Yue Niang said: "Yes, so people should accumulate good deeds. The good deeds done today may be repaid to their relatives in a few years."
Madam Liu not only asked Xu Yan and Xu Lei to escort the young lady, but also asked them to follow her with four nursing homes."
After hearing this, Zaohua was ready to go out and take a look.
Yue Niang grabbed her and said, "Don't look at it."
Zaohua put away her curiosity and said, "Okay!"
Yueniang let go of Zaohua, leaned back, and said, "Although the young lady has a shady father, she also has a vicious stepmother.
But you have a grandmother who protects you, and a cousin who is cheerful, sensible and strong. From this point of view, God treats young ladies well."
Zaohua took over the words, "Not only that, God also allowed the second master to get to know a good person like the prince, and hired a capable person like the husband for the young lady."
Yueniang twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Zaohua has a sweet mouth, I like it."
Ning Wei ignored the two of them joking and drifted away in the carriage.
In the past few days since I came back, I have experienced no less things than in my previous life. So far, although I am still in a passive situation, everything is developing in a good direction.
The road has to be walked step by step, and things have to be done bit by bit. Her situation determines that she can only figure it out slowly.
Moreover, my reputation has been preserved, my grandmother is still there, and my brother is still here, so it’s worth it.
Ning Wei thanked God in her heart.
God was indeed treating her well. The only thing that made her uneasy was that she interacted too frequently with Shi Jingyang, even though she had clearly agreed to stay away from him...
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Zaohua pulled Ning Wei's hand.
Nowadays, the lady is good at everything, but she likes to be distracted too much.
Ning Wei came back to her senses, "What's the matter?"
Yue Niang stared out the window, "Miss, look at the man in blue on the left, he has been following us for a while."
"Which one?" Zaohua wanted to poke her head out.
Yue Niang stopped her: "Don't poke your head out, just look like this. The one on the left who is about ten feet away from us, with leggings on his legs. Do you see that?"
Ning Wei had already seen it and asked: "Is this the only one?"
Yue Niang replied: "I only found one person, there should be more than one. Zhao is really evil-minded."
Ning Wei smiled self-deprecatingly, "Thanks to her for thinking highly of me."
Zaohua said: "Miss, what should I do?"
Hu Rui withdrew his gaze, sat up straight, looked at Zaohua and said, "Girl, what should I do? In addition to me, there are Xu Yan, Xu Lei and the nursing staff following me in the open, and Qiao Fei and Qiao Shi in the dark. Are you afraid?
What?"
After Hu Rui reminded her, Zaohua remembered that the young lady now also has a guard. She smiled sheepishly and said: "Miss, I'm sorry, I forgot that there is a gentleman and the others following me."
Ning Wei's eyes were still on the man in blue outside the window. After listening to Zaohua's words, he turned his eyes away and said: "After a while, I got off the car alone. It was broad daylight. I wanted to see what step Zhao could do?
"
Hu Rui understood what Ning Wei meant and shook his head in disapproval, "Put away your thoughts. No matter what the situation, don't put yourself in danger."
Ning Wei saw Hu Rui's serious face and said quickly: "Okay, sir, don't be angry, that's what I said."
Hu Rui said sternly: "You shouldn't have such thoughts. You have to know that if something happens to you, your loved ones will be in pain and your enemies will be at risk.
For the people who care about you, you always have to think about how to protect yourself.
Only if you are good and people who care about you will be good, do you understand?"
Ning Wei nodded and said, "Yes, thank you sir. I'll note it down."
When we arrived at Fengle Building, the waiter in charge of reception at the door came up and asked, "Excuse me, sir, do you have an appointment?"
Xu Yan replied: "Our lady was invited by the eldest lady of Jiang Shangshu's house."
When the waiter heard that it was Miss Ning whom Miss Jiang had made an appointment, he hurriedly leaned over and said, "I understand, Miss Jiang has an explanation. When Miss Ning arrives, go directly to the Xiangrui Hall in the south courtyard. Guests, please follow me."
With that said, the waiter walked forward and led Xu Yan to the south courtyard.
Xu Yan parked the car at the entrance of the south courtyard, got out of the car and put the footrest in place.
Zaohua got out of the car, then raised the curtain and waited for Ning Wei to get off. She didn't forget to remind her: "Miss, slow down."
After Ning Wei got out of the car, Hu Rui followed him.
The two stood at the door and looked around, but did not see the man in blue. They looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
The waiter who led the way said to the waiter at the gate of the south courtyard: "This is Miss Ning who is going to Xiangrui Hall."
Xiangrui Hall is not open to the public. Guests who go to Xiangrui Hall are treated as guests.
After hearing this, the waiter at the door leaned forward with a smile and said: "Miss Ning, please come this way."
Ning Wei nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you."
The waiter led Ning Wei and his party to the second floor. When they got to the second floor, they saw a group of people coming out of the private room, headed by Ning Guangyan and a man wearing a silver mask.
The two of them lowered their heads and said something, not noticing Ning Wei and his party.
Zaohua recognized Ning Guangyan at a glance, her eyes widened in shock, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, and whispered, "Miss, sir!"
Ning Wei also saw Ning Guangyan and was shocked in her heart. The secret was not good. Is it a mistake today? Why did she meet someone she didn't want to see here?
When Hu Rui heard Zaohua's "Master", he knew he had met Ning Guangyan.
Hu Rui walked to the left front of Ning Wei, blocked Ning Wei with his body, stood between Ning Wei and Ning Guangyan, and whispered: "Don't panic, calm down." Zaohua straightened up and looked generous.
Go forward."
Ning Wei only felt surprised, but she didn't panic and straightened her back and walked forward.
After listening to Hu Rui's words, Zaohua straightened her back, tightened her body, and bravely walked forward.
Ning Guangyan's mind was on speaking. The masked man walked forward as he spoke, nodding in cooperation from time to time, listening very attentively. When he passed by Ning Wei and his entourage, he didn't even raise his head to look up.
Ning Wei pretended to be calm and walked beside Hu Rui, looking to the left with the corner of her eye. When she missed Ning Guangyan and his party, she subconsciously walked two minutes faster, revealing her panic.
Zaohua kept paying attention to Ning Guangyan and his entourage from the corner of her eyes until she passed them by. Zaohua breathed out heavily, patted her chest and said, "I was so scared to death."
Ning Wei wanted to turn around and take a look, but when Hu Rui saw the masked man looking this way, he quickly put his arms around Ning Wei's shoulders and pulled Sister Ning Wei forward.
The masked man was suspicious and stared at the backs of Hu Rui and Ning Wei.
