The case of the Cao family and his son became an uproar, and even the county magistrate Yang Zhen's concubine Liu was exposed for secretly accepting bribes and plundering people's wealth.
In just a few days, the whole Jiangling changed.
Mrs. Zhou asked Aunt Yang to bring a hibiscus cake to Ye Chutang, asked her to tell her thank you, and then quietly left the city with her child.
Ye Chutang accepted the thank you gift without asking any questions.
She has done what she wants to do, and she will not interfere too much in other people's decisions.
Brothers Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng dropped out of the academy. They thought they would be caught by their master and get into trouble again. Unexpectedly, after they went there, they discovered that the academy was not open.
"I heard that people from the Yamen went to the academy early in the morning to 'invite' the Master away!" Ye Yunfeng returned home, still feeling incredible, "I don't know what crime the Master has committed?"
Given the master's status, if there was no definite evidence, the Yamen would never come directly to take the person away.
"As a result, we still don't know when the academy will be able to reopen!"
Ye Yunfeng became happy again when he said this.
He didn't like studying in the first place, and he hated this master even more. Now that he could finally get rid of it, could he be unhappy?
Ye Jingyan explained: "It seems to be related to the Cao family's case."
Ye Chutang nodded clearly, not surprised by this.
She had long felt that this master had a particularly good attitude towards the two Cao brothers. When Ah Feng and Cao Chengwu were fighting, he favored the latter without any reason, and he also repeatedly put on Ah Feng and A Yan's shoes.
This time the Cao family collapsed, and it was expected that he would be implicated.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, after you return to Beijing, the Imperial College will have a better master to teach you." Ye Chutang said, "You guys pack up your things in the next two days. We will set off in three days."
Ye Jingyan asked in surprise: "So fast?"
He originally thought that it would take another ten days and a half. After all, he had not returned home for three years. He had to make a lot of preparations to go back suddenly.
Three days...wouldn't it be too hasty?
Ye Chutang shook his head: "I didn't have much to bring with me originally. Since I'm 'returning', I just need to pack lightly."
All she wants is to be quick.
She had already sent the letter, and what she wanted was to arrive in the capital immediately after the letter.
- She never wanted to reply.
That was a notification, not an inquiry.
Ye Yunfeng took over a wooden board with some regret, with a notice that the medical center was closed written on it.
This was the last time something happened at the medical clinic. Ye Chutang specifically asked them to write a suicide note.
"I originally thought that our medical clinic would finally open..." Ye Yunfeng sighed.
In the past three years in Jiangling, they have become accustomed to the days when people come and go in the medical clinic every day. It is really... quite uncomfortable to suddenly have to close it completely.
"Sister, when we return to the capital, will this medical center close?" Ye Yunfeng asked reluctantly.
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows: "When did I say that?"
Ye Yunfeng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then you still want to open it?"
Ye Jingyan frowned and looked at Ye Chutang: "Sister?"
When they return to the capital, the situation will be much more complicated than it is now, and it will be difficult to open a medical clinic again.
He didn't expect Sister A to have such a plan.
Ye Chutang clicked his tongue: "You don't know how much the capital costs. We have to make a living."
Ye Jingyan was stunned: "But... aren't they all still in the capital? They won't ignore us, right?"
It is inconsistent with both emotion and reason!
Ye Chutang smiled, but the look on his face was very calm and calm.
"They are them, and we are us. We still don't know how happy or sad this time will be."
…
It was already evening when Shen Yanchuan returned to the hospital.
However, as soon as he returned, he realized something was wrong.
The courtyard seemed emptier than before.
Shen Yanchuan looked around and narrowed his eyes.
Lian Zhou felt strange and couldn't help but said: "Hey, have you put away all the herbs that have been dried in the past few days?"
They have lived in the hospital for a long time, and have basically figured out the process and time of drying medicine in the hospital.
This is the cleanest collection of medicinal materials in the yard in a long time.
Suddenly, Shen Yanchuan's eyes were fixed in a certain direction.
"No, I threw them all away."
Lian Zhou followed his gaze and saw a lot of discarded herbs piled next to the firewood in the yard.
"This-" Lian Zhou was taken aback.
During this period, Ye's Medical Center was targeted and no new medicinal materials had been brought in for a long time. The remaining ones were unused before. They were supposed to be very precious, but why were they not needed now?
Shen Yanchuan looked at the room opposite again. Through the half-open window, he could vaguely see a small figure sitting in front of the small table, looking at the neatly arranged purses in front of him.
A fleshy little hand reached out and carefully squeezed the purses one by one, with a look of reluctance on the fleshy little face.
——My sister said that she would put all these in a purse, and exchange some scraps of silver for banknotes, so that it would be much easier to go on the road.
But she also likes these purses so much, they are all saved by her hard work! It's such a pity to throw it away like this!
Xiao Wu held his chin in his hands, frowned and thought hard for a long time. He finally chose one, and then started to take out the other items in his purse and put them inside.
Most of them were broken silver, as well as a jade pendant and a gold whistle.
She was so serious that she failed to notice that Shen Yanchuan was looking this way.
Lian Zhou's eyes widened: "No, how old is she? She has saved so much pocket money!?"
But Shen Yanchuan's mind was racing and he had already guessed what happened.
"Pack your things." Shen Yanchuan said.
Lian Zhou didn't react for a moment: "Ah? Master, have you made your decision?"
"Not really." Shen Yanchuan raised his chin, "We are going to be kicked out soon."
Lian Zhou: "..."
…
Sure enough, not long after they came back, Ye Chutang came over.
"How is Mr. Shen's recovery going?"
Ye Chutang stood outside the door, his tone gentle and concerned.
Lian Zhou looked at her with mixed emotions.
Anyone who sees such a pair of dark and gentle eyes and a light and gentle smile will feel that she is kind and caring from the bottom of her heart.
If the master hadn't reminded her, who would have thought that she was here to drive someone away?
Thinking back to the scenes that happened on the execution ground during the day, Lian Zhou felt even more vigilant and admirable.
He is clearly a player in the game, but he can calmly plan the entire chess game with the attitude of an outsider from beginning to end...
Apart from his own master, he has never seen anyone else with this kind of mental scheming.
And Ye Chutang is still just a woman. If she were a man, she might be able to compete with her master, it's hard to say.
Before Lian Zhou could speak, a cold voice suddenly came from inside the room.
"I'm afraid I have to ask Dr. Ye to help diagnose my pulse again."
