Lady Ning could be considered to be from a prestigious family.

Her father was one of the tutors of the Imperial College, and her brothers all held positions in the imperial court. Although Prince Ning Fu had declined, Lady Ning had always been pampered and lived a life of luxury.

It could be said that she had never suffered such humiliation since she was born!

But now, that so-called Godly Doctor actually wanted her to kowtow three times and kowtow nine times to get the medicine?

If this wasn't intentional humiliation, then what was?!

Not to mention, it was rumored that the Godly Doctor was only a youth. Asking her to kowtow to a young boy who was only the same age as her son?

This was simply ridiculous!

Also, why were the commoners in Yong An Temple able to eat a bowl of porridge for free, and why were the officials and nobles in the capital able to buy a packet of medicine for a mere ten taels of silver, but when it came to her, she was being made so difficult?

Could it be that the young Godly Doctor was Prince Ning Fu's enemy?

Or did he have a relationship with her enemy?

Who could it be?

However, Lady Ning couldn't guess who it was — —

The wives of the officials and nobles in the capital had their own circle. She was on good terms with a few of them, so she was bound to be on bad terms with others.

There were many people who didn't like her. On the surface, she was like a sister to her, but there were countless people who could stab her in the back at any time.

Thus, how could she find any clues as to who the young Godly Doctor was?

Lady Ning was so angry that her entire body was trembling. But when she saw Lu Wenxiu's increasingly ugly expression, she gritted her teeth and finally decided to … … do as she was told.

She sternly ordered the servants and scholars to keep their mouths shut. This matter absolutely couldn't be spread out. If they heard anything about this outside, she would cut off their mouths!

At this time, Lady Ning didn't care about her gentle and generous image. She angrily chased everyone out and then ordered two servant girls to prepare for her.

However, even if this matter hadn't spread outside of Prince Ning Fu, everyone within Prince Ning Fu knew about it.

The servants were all talking amongst themselves. Those who had been treated harshly by Lady Ning were gloating in their hearts.

The Old Madame was recuperating in Mei Peaceful Yuan. The Old Master had been sent to the desolate Liu Province and had yet to return. No one dared to let the news reach their ears.

When Lu Yu-an returned from the Imperial College and heard about this, his expression turned ugly. He quickly got up to stop Lady Ning.

It was a small matter that her second brother was seriously ill, but if this kind of embarrassing matter were to spread to Prince Ning Fu, where would her mother put her face?!

Prince Ning Fu was in a complete mess.

Although Lu Huan didn't know why that person wanted him to save Lu Wenxiu, that person definitely had a motive. Saving Lu Wenxiu wasn't a big deal to him. Moreover, he was also thinking about the Autumn Swallow Mountain Hunting Hunt in five days. If Prince Ning Fu suddenly held a funeral, then he definitely wouldn't be able to attend.

Thus, after thinking for a bit, he had Chang Gongwu bring a bag of medicine and go to the forest to hang the medicine on the treetops.

Madam King Ning put on a very inconspicuous black cloak, followed only by her confidant Nanny, and set off from the most remote road. In advance, she asked the guards of King Ning's Mansion to clear away the possible common people on the road, so that no one would see her humiliating scene.

On the muddy path, she had to kneel down every few steps. Her knees were purple from the cold snow and bleeding from the friction of the hard ground.

She had only walked a few steps when her spoiled body couldn't take it anymore.

… … However, she was also afraid that the godly doctor was watching from afar. If she didn't follow his instructions, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get the medicine back.

Thus, Lady Ning gritted her teeth and inched forward step by step.

She was also on tenterhooks, afraid that someone would appear on this path.

Even though the imperial bodyguards were stationed nearby, she still hated that she couldn't crawl into a hole in the ground, afraid that someone would see her.

Like this, with her heart burning with anger, Lady Ning half walked and half knelt. After a few hours, she finally arrived at the forest described in the painting.

When she arrived, her hair was messy and her cloak was dirty. She looked like a village woman and didn't look like the scheming and noble Lady Ning that she usually was.

When Lady Ning went to get the medicine, Lu Huan wasn't interested in personally seeing her down and out, so she went to do her own things.

However, Su Xi, who was watching from outside the screen, used her last chance to unlock the path in the forest. She watched as she ate popcorn. She saw Lady Ning kowtowing and kneeling until her face was pale and her breath was weak. She almost fell into a ditch and screamed for the mama to quickly pull her out. Su Xi couldn't help but laugh.

Su Xi's heart was overjoyed. She finally helped Zaizai vent his anger!

Lady Ning still hadn't returned the whip wounds on Zaizai's body!

She and Zaizai kept their word. After Lady Ning painstakingly arrived at the forest, she found the bag of medicine.

There was no one in the forest.

Lady Ning even brought imperial bodyguards with her. She originally thought angrily that if the young godly doctor was waiting in the forest, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape her grasp!

However, she didn't expect that there would only be medicine in the forest and no one.

Madam of King Ning had expected that the man had played such a trick on King Ning's Mansion. Naturally, she wouldn't let herself find out who he was easily. However, she had suffered such a great humiliation, but she couldn't take revenge. It was like punching into cotton, and she couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart.

She was flustered and exasperated. She hurriedly ordered the sedan chair that had been waiting for her to roll out and quickly return home.

"I will definitely take revenge for this."

She was helped onto the sedan chair by someone. Her fingers clenched the bag of medicine in humiliation as she spoke through gritted teeth.

After taking the medicine back, Lady Ning had the estate's physician take a look. After confirming that it was a cold medicine, the anger in her heart turned into joy. She hurriedly ordered the servants to brew the medicine and fed it to Lu Wenxiu.

The medicine was very bitter. Lu Wenxiu, who was still unconscious, almost vomited.

The veins on Lady Ning's temples throbbed. She was afraid that he would waste a drop of the medicine that she had painstakingly obtained, so she cooperated with the servants to choke him and force the medicine down his throat.

After drinking the medicine, Lu Wenxiu's incurable cold was alleviated the next day … However, for some reason, after drinking the medicine, although his cold symptoms gradually improved, he began to have diarrhea. He had diarrhea for a full three days and constantly had to go to the outhouse.

In addition, his illness had dragged on for too long, so his body became very weak.

It was as if he would pant after taking a few steps. He was simply like a useless person.

After that, the imperial physician came to take a look and said that he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for the next six months. He had to slowly nurse his body back to health.

When Lady Ning heard this, her face immediately turned pale. With all these things added together, she looked as if she had aged ten years.

Of course, this was all for later.

The next day, Chang Gongwu received a letter.

In the letter, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital invited the young Godly Doctor for a gathering.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue was very smart. He didn't know where he heard that the young Godly Doctor had first appeared at the Yong An Temple, and that the person who had helped the disaster victims there was Zhong Ganping. He guessed that Zhong Ganping might have some clues.

Zhong Ganping took the letter and didn't know how to contact the young Godly Doctor, so he could only find Chang Gongwu.

After a few twists and turns, the young Godly Doctor's identity was still unknown.

When Lu Huan received the letter from Chang Gongwu and opened it to read, Su Xi received the fifth main mission from the system.

"Please accept the fifth main mission (Beginner): Please befriend the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue and become one of his trusted aides."

"Difficulty: 3 stars. Reward: 100 gold coins. Reward: 2 points."

When Su Xi saw that the reward was only so little, he knew that this mission was relatively simple.

After all, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue's youngest daughter had been saved by Zaizai's thirteen bags of medicine.

This daughter was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue's most beloved daughter. He was naturally very grateful that she could be saved.

Zaizai didn't need to do anything. He just needed to go and meet this assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Su Xi looked at the information of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue and discovered that this assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue was actually Prince Ning Fu's old rival.

There was no other reason. Many years ago, Prince Ning had taken a fancy to the Provincial Governor's daughter. This Provincial Governor's daughter was beautiful and famous in the capital. However, later on, this Provincial Governor's daughter became the wife of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Prince Ning was furious, and when he met his love rival, he was especially jealous.

Prince Ning's consort wasn't as beautiful as the Provincial Governor's daughter, so he was naturally especially jealous.

As a result, these two residences had formed a grudge.

However, in recent years, Prince Ning Fu had been going downhill, while the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue was flushed with success. A few days ago, he had been promoted to a first-rank minister. Not only that, the eldest daughter he sent into the palace had become the Emperor's most beloved imperial consort.

Thus, in the imperial court, no one disrespected the Minister of Revenue.

In summary, the Minister of Revenue was now a second-rank official. He had the support of the Fifth Prince and the imperial consort. He could be considered a very powerful person in the capital.

In the letter, he thanked Zaizai profusely and treated him with respect. He thought highly of the legendary young genius doctor.

Befriending him naturally wouldn't be bad for Zaizai.

That was what Su Xi thought. It was very clear that Zaizai, who received the letter, frowned for a moment before folding it up and burning it. He also thought the same.

He returned to the firewood courtyard and ordered the third bodyguard to take advantage of the chaos in the residence to move the chickens and crops in his courtyard to the farm outside the city. Then, he changed into a traveling cloak and covered his face, planning to go to the appointment.

In order to show his sincerity, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue set the meeting place at Zhong Ganping's residence. He didn't bring a single bodyguard or servant.

Su Xi saw Zaizai go to the appointment and wanted to follow, but the screen didn't move.

She hadn't unlocked Zhong Ganping's residence!

And there were no more chances left to unlock it. In order to watch a good show, she wasted her last chance to unlock it in the small forest outside the city!

The system suddenly said, "Who told you to be so childish? You wanted to see Lady Ning kowtow three times and kneel nine times with your own eyes."

Su Xi, "Shut up."

Su Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. She couldn't go to Zhong Ganping's residence to see what Zaizai and the Minister of Revenue were talking about. She could only go offline first and wait for Zaizai to come back in the evening.

Before going offline, she switched to Zaizai's room.

He searched around the middle of one of the table legs and found a very small box in an inconspicuous place.

Although no one had come close to the firewood courtyard ever since the Old Madame gave the order, Zaizai was still very vigilant. He was worried that their communication would be discovered. So, before, he had written a note and agreed to hide it in the table leg. There was also a wooden board outside so it wouldn't be easily discovered.

Ever since Zaizai found out that he could communicate with her by asking questions and putting the pen in different places, it was like the door to a new world had been opened. He couldn't wait to ask her hundreds of questions at once.

But maybe because he still had to maintain his modesty, he didn't ask too many questions.

At this time, there were two questions left on the paper in the small box.

"I saved Lu Wenxiu as promised. Although this action wasn't what I wanted, it's enough as long as you're happy.

If you're happy, you can put the brush on the left side of the inkstone. "

Su Xi muttered in her heart. Since when did Zaizai care about whether she was happy or not? Caring about her emotions? This shouldn't be happening, right?

Or was Zaizai asking for praise —?

Su Xi's mind quickly flashed back to the day when Zaizai saved Fourth Madame's concubine's daughter from the stream. However, he didn't receive any praise. He didn't have any expression on his face. He just frowned and sulked as he returned to the firewood courtyard alone.

… That's right. Since he was young, no matter what he did, no matter what he did, he was a hundred times more outstanding than Lu Yu-an and Lu Wenxiu. But still, no one had ever praised him.

Su Xi couldn't bear to think about it. She quickly took out all the brushes on Zaizai's table and bought a bunch of writing brushes from the market. She threw them all to the left of the inkstone.

There were a total of twelve brushes.

Happy happy happy happy happy happy!

Happy x12!

The problem with the second note is that.

"If you find this question difficult, you don't have to answer.

But if I'm not wrong, you can read and write. You're also willing to communicate with me. But for some reason, you can't leave behind words to answer me, right? "

This note was written by Zaizai this morning. It could be seen that the handwriting was very slow, as if he was weighing each word and thinking about something.

When Su Xi saw this question, his eyelids twitched.

… Zaizai had almost guessed it!

This degree of artificial intelligence simulation made Su Xi's heart jump.
