In the pharmacy.
After days of observation, the government doctor Ji Yonglin set his sights on his eldest apprentice Xu Keyuan.
When Xu Keyuan once again proposed to take the initiative to clean up the pharmacy and work the night, Ji Yonglin nodded calmly. "Okay, since you have this intention, let the others go back first."
"Yes, master."
The apprentices happily agreed.
After thanking Xu Keyuan with a wink, everyone left happily.
When everyone walked away, Ji Yonglin looked at his eldest apprentice and told him: "Ke Yuan, please collect the medicinal materials that are exposed outside. I will talk to you about something later."
"Yes, master."
Glancing at the medicine jar placed next to the stove, Xu Keyuan smiled, suppressed the impatience in his eyes, turned around and left the room.
When he walked away, Ji Yonglin quickly opened the medicine jar, grabbed a handful of medicine residue and wrapped it in silk, and at the same time quickly restored the medicine jar to its original state.
When he heard Xu Keyuan's return, he smelled the smell of medicine on his body, turned around and hurriedly walked to the medicine kitchen.
As soon as he opened the medicine kitchen, Xu Keyuan came back with the medicinal materials.
Glancing at the medicine jar, he placed the collected medicinal materials on the table, and then came to the medicine kitchen where the smell of medicine was mixed.
"master."
Standing respectfully next to the medicine kitchen, Xu Keyuan smiled and asked curiously, "Is there anything you want to see me for?"
"It's indeed something."
Ji Yonglin casually grabbed medicine from the medicine kitchen. After a pause, he couldn't help but look at his eldest apprentice, "Ke Yuan, how long have you been with me?"
"It's...twenty years..."
Xu Keyuan answered hesitantly.
He didn't understand what Ji Yonglin meant when he suddenly asked.
"Yeah, twenty years."
Ji Yonglin nodded sadly.
He was busy with his hands. After weighing the medicinal materials, he poured them on a piece of paper.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he smiled and sighed while wrapping the medicine, "When you came to the pharmacy, you were only five years old. Now you are twenty-five, it's about time you started training, right?"
"master?"
Xu Keyuan was a little surprised.
He became increasingly confused as to what Ji Yonglin meant.
Should we drive him away or promote him?
After thinking for a moment in his mind, he could only smile and be modest, "Master, there is still a lot for me to learn."
"There's no need to be too modest."
After wrapping the medicinal materials, Ji Yonglin looked up and looked around the pharmacy, then looked at Xu Keyuan with a meaningful smile, "I'm old, and sooner or later this pharmacy will be handed over to you."
"Thank you, Master."
Xu Keyuan's face was flattered, but he didn't care in his heart.
sooner or later? Sooner or later what time will it be?
In the doctor's profession, the older you get, the more popular you become. The master is only in his fifties now. If you want to wait for him to abdicate voluntarily, you will have to wait for at least another ten years...
ten years.
How many decades are there in life?
Now there is a shortcut in front of him. He is stupid to spend time with this old guy...
But thinking about it, he didn't show any emotion on his face.
Seeing Ji Yonglin packing medicine, he even asked with concern, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
"Well, I'm a little angry."
Ji Yonglin said and stuffed the medicine bag into his arms.
Patting Xu Keyuan on the shoulder, he turned around and left the pharmacy without saying anything.
Three days later, Suifeng Garden.
Ji Yonglin handed the medicine residue to Ruan Yunluo. "Madam, this is the dregs of Aunt Yin's anti-fetal medicine. I checked and found that there is indeed a chronic poison in it. People who are poisoned by this kind of poison will lose their health day by day.
To outsiders it looked like he was sick, but no cause could be found. Unless you can get the medicine residue, there will be no trace at all..."
At this point, he sighed and continued: "Everyone in the pharmacy has also checked, and it was my great apprentice Xu Keyuan who did it."
"Xu Keyuan?"
Ruan Yunluo was shocked when he heard this name.
In his previous life, after Ji Yonglin retired from the General's Mansion and returned to his hometown, the person who took over as the doctor was Xu Keyuan, wasn't he?
This Xu Keyuan could poison Yin Xiaorou in this life, but in his previous life...
Thinking back to his illness in his previous life and Ji Yonglin's analysis of the medicine just now, Ruan Yunluo felt something was wrong the more he thought about it.
Holding the dregs of the medicine, she hurriedly put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it...
Among the various intertwined medicinal materials, she suddenly smelled a familiar bitter taste!
It was the same taste that she had tasted thousands of times when she was ill in her previous life!
so……
Ruan Yunluo was surprised, so she wasn't sick in her previous life, but was killed by someone?
And the person who killed her was not Xiao Chongjing or Yin Xiaorou, but her mother-in-law?
But why?
Ruan Yunluo couldn't help but frown.
In the previous life, from Mrs. Xi's perspective, she was obviously a good gun...
At that time, Mrs. Xi obviously did not approve of Yin Xiaorou marrying into the general's palace, but due to Yin Xiaorou's status as a princess, she did not dare to object openly... In that case, she, a dim-witted chess piece, stood up to oppose, wouldn't it be Help?
Mrs. Xi is not stupid. It's too late to take advantage of her. How could she deliberately kill her?
Whether it was a bracelet or poison, why did the old woman just catch her and extract it? Did she dig into the Xi family's ancestral grave?
Or, is there any hidden secret?
Frowning and writing this down, Ruan Yunluo looked at Ji Yonglin and continued to ask: "Xu Keyuan is an apprentice, how did he get involved with Qingshouyuan?"
"Twenty years ago, before Madam, you married into the General's Mansion, Nanny Fan brought Xu Keyuan into the Mansion. I didn't care about the specific relationship at the time, I just remembered that they seemed to be relatives..."
"Mother Fan is Xu Keyuan's aunt."
At this time, Grandma Wan added.
She has stayed in the General's Mansion for so many years and has always been the first person around Ruan Yunluo. Naturally, she is quite popular among the mothers. It is not difficult to find a few old ladies to chat about home affairs.
Not only is it not difficult, it is even too easy.
Those nuns live lonely lives, and once they start talking, they can't stop talking.
While eating melon seeds, I almost picked out eight generations of Xu Keyuan's ancestors...
After removing all the nonsense from their gossip, Nanny Wan made it clear in just two sentences, "Nanny Fan's biological sister died early, and her brother-in-law remarried and gave birth to a new son. Xu Keyuan, the old son, She became redundant, so she took refuge with Nanny Fan, her aunt who had no son.
Therefore, to Grandma Fan, Xu Keyuan appears to be a nephew, but in fact he is a godson. "
"No wonder she is so attentive."
Ruan Yunluo suddenly realized.
After thinking about the relationship, she looked at Ji Yonglin and said, "In that case, let's just leave the whole affairs of Aunt Yin to Xu Keyuan. Don't get involved. Don't disturb him. Let's just wait and see what happens."
"yes."
Ji Yonglin nodded, said goodbye and left.
Ruan Yunluo thought for a moment and then asked Yin Xiaorou about what was going on there.
After hearing that that day, Yin Xiaorou went out once and was no longer in a hurry to look for Xiao Chongjing... She knew in her heart that she must have found other ways to get pregnant.
She found the candidate so quickly, and she probably knew the candidate...
Could it be...
Ruan Yunluo's heart was lifted, and she called for Wan Qifu, "I'll give you a task. Next, pay more attention to Yin Xiaorou's movements. If she goes out again, follow her from a distance. You don't need to do anything. You know their stronghold. No matter where you are, be sure to pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, ma'am."
Wan Qifu nodded quickly.
She looked at Aunt Wan again, "You too, if Yin Xiaorou suddenly goes to see Xiao Chongjing in the past two days, please remember to tell me."
She could miss other excitements, but she couldn't miss the excitement of Xiao Chongjing's death.
