Chapter 228: Half a Day's Travel and Return at Dusk
Leng Rongyue looked at Lu Yi and burst out laughing, "Lu Yi, do you think I am lying to you? Are you trying to trick you?
If we are sure that the doctor surnamed Lu is not in Dashi Village, will we just leave and never show up again, leaving the people of Dashi Village happy for nothing?
Is that what you think?
Then you think too badly of the young lady!"
"Then Miss...you are not...you are not really going to purchase medicinal herbs in Dashi Village, are you?" Lu Yi looked at Leng Rongyue with surprise.
“Is it not possible?” Leng Rongyue looked at Lu Yi and said with a smile, “You are still from the Anguo Mansion!
Don’t you know that the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion owns several large herbal medicine stores?
This herbal medicine store is one of the best in the capital.
Moreover, my mother’s dowry also included a medicine shop;
There is also a herbal medicine store in the north.
Miss, I have already planned to take back my mother’s dowry!
Regardless of whether we can find witnesses and material evidence that Yin killed my mother, I don't intend to let Yin's gang continue to shamelessly occupy and enjoy the property left by my mother!
By then, there will only be this Dashi Village. Are you still worried that I, your lady, won't be able to take it all?"
"Oh, so that's how it is. I've been worried about the villagers of Dashi Village for nothing!" Green Clothes stuck out her tongue, smiled awkwardly, and said.
Lu Yi was actually feeling even more embarrassed: they were originally subordinates of Prince Yu, and they were just temporarily flying the banner of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and borrowing the name of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
They would be lucky if they could recognize the people in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion in half a day!
How would she know what businesses the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion had and what properties it owned?
The people in blue, purple and the coachman in green thought the same.
It seems that they still need to know more about the affairs of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, otherwise they will be exposed at any time!
Leng Rongyue had no idea what they were thinking at the moment, she smiled and explained to Lu Yi: "You are worrying for nothing!
When we entered the mountain, I paid attention to the surrounding environment.
Places like this are the most abundant in medicinal materials and are also the most likely to produce rare treasures.
Moreover, according to my estimation, the quality of the medicinal materials is quite good!
Tomorrow, we will take the two guides found by Sun Lizheng into the mountains.
I hope Sun Li is looking for a guide according to my requirements, while my requirements are based on the description of the doctor surnamed Lu, except for the big black mole with a tuft of hair.
When you are in your fifties, you can’t be too tall;
Not only do you need to know herbs, you also need to understand medical principles.
The common herbs are known to the herbalists in this village;
However, understanding medical principles may not be the case.
After all, the doctor surnamed Lu was a doctor at Huichuntang before.
Just based on his knowledge of medicine, if the doctor surnamed Lu is really in Dashi Village, he will most likely be chosen by Sun Lizheng."
"What if...the doctor surnamed Lu is not in Dashi Village at all?" Zi Yi asked.
"If he's not in Dashi Village, then he's not in Dashi Village!" Leng Rongyue shrugged and said, "There is no definite clue that the doctor surnamed Lu is in Dashi Village.
Tomorrow, we can try to find out from the two guides whether there is anyone in the village who looks like the doctor named Lu.
If you're sure you don't, that's okay too.
We are here to find the origin of medicinal herbs, so it is worthwhile to go into the mountains.”
"Oh, so this is what the lady thinks." Zi Yi suddenly realized.
"of course!
You see, our search for the few people who knew the situation back then is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Where can we find it? When can we find it? These are uncertain.
Then we might as well plan other things while searching for clues and witnesses, so as not to waste time and delay future matters." Leng Rongyue said.
"Miss, wouldn't it be easier if we quietly find Sun Lizheng or the villagers to investigate?" asked Lu Yi.
“That could easily alert the enemy.
Suppose, for example, that doctor surnamed Lu is in Dashi Village, and we rashly go to ask the villagers, what if the person we ask has a personal relationship with him, and he gets wind of it and runs away, then it will be even harder for us to find him!"
After hearing this, the people in blue nodded in agreement.
It was almost late autumn and the days were getting shorter. Looking at the sun about to set in the distance, the man in blue waved the whip and urged the carriage to speed up.
While driving the carriage, Lan Yi turned around and asked, "Miss, are we going straight through the county town halfway up the mountain to return to the manor?
Or do you want to go somewhere else?"
Leng Rongyue thought for a moment and said, "We're not going anywhere, let's just go back.
If it’s any later, grandma and aunt will be worried!
Let’s go back, have dinner, prepare everything, and then go to bed early.
Tomorrow, we will set out early in the morning and head to Dashi Village, and then take our guide with us into the mountains."
"Yes, I understand!" The one in blue responded, and cracked the whip, causing the horse to run even faster.
It was not until we entered the county town halfway up the mountain that the carriage had to slow down as there were more people on the streets.
After crossing the Central Street and heading straight for the North City Gate, the carriage turned out of the city wall and got on the official road. The carriage then sped up and headed back to the Banshan Manor.
In the Banshan Manor, the first and second wives were sitting in the hall with the old lady, drinking tea.
Leng Rongyue brought them the tea.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sipped tea and didn't want to mention Leng Xian's shamelessness anymore. They just looked outside from time to time, thinking that Leng Rongyue should be back soon.
