Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C176

However, after a short while, the clamoring outside died down.

Curious, Jin Xiaotao ordered the servant to lie down on the windowsill and open a small crack, as she peeked outside.

“Shopkeeper, it’s weird, the Boss Jin from Liuli Workshop is saving people outside!” The doorman turned and shouted at Jin Xiaotao.

“What?!” Jin Xiaotao immediately jumped up and hurried over. Through the crack in the window, she saw Jin Xiaolou bringing the girls from the shop a large wooden bucket each, and another person holding a pile of bowls, one by one, to scoop black soup for them.

It was obvious that he had come prepared.

After another three hours and a half, seeing that the originally painful people had started to turn better, all of them knelt down at Jin Xiaolou’s feet, calling her a living Bodhisattva.

Jin Xiaotao was so angry that her veins were popping out, and she grabbed the assistant beside him: “Quick! “Go and invite the lord of the government!”

“What a Jin Xiaolou, you dare to play tricks in front of me!”

Jin Xiaotao immediately reprimanded, opening the shop door, standing out, she pointed at Jin Xiaolou and cursed: “In order to steal business, the Liuli Workshop Boss Jin, in order to do so, actually used such a despicable method, and poisoned my De’s Shop’s jelly! How shameless! ”

Saying that, he looked around at the people who were thanking Jin Xiaolou, and then said: “She was the one who poisoned you, and you guys are still thanking her? This is so stupid! ”

“Think about it, if it wasn’t for her poison, how could she have arrived in time to save you with the soup and medicine?”

These people did not believe him, but once they heard Jin Xiaotao’s words, most likely they started to doubt him.

Seeing that everyone had raised their heads to look at Jin Xiaolou in doubt, Yi Xiao whispered into Jin Xiaolou’s ears: “Innkeeper, do you want to look for the officials?”

Jin Xiaolou said: “No need, Jin Xiaotao will arrange a good job for us.”

As expected, not long after, they saw the Supreme Court’s Young Official Bai Ruyi bringing a few people towards the De’s Shop.

Jin Xiaotao’s face did not look good, she asked the servant: “Why are the people from the justice courts here?”

The assistant scratched his head, “This Sir Bai just happens to be in the yamen, and when I heard that it was related to Liuli Workshop and Boss Jin s, I immediately said that I would personally make a trip.”

Without waiting for Jin Xiaotao to speak, Bai Ruyi had already walked up to him, paid her respects to Jin Xiaolou who was in the middle, and then asked Jin Xiaotao: “What happened?”

Jin Xiaotao secretly cursed in her heart. A dignified junior official of the Supreme Court, she actually bowed to a girl the moment she came here. She really went up to flatter the Seventh Prince!

“Jin Xiaolou tried to poison us, Master, in front of everyone, you have to enforce the law impartially, don’t practice favoritism!”

Jin Xiaotao smiled, she did not believe that this young noble from the Supreme Court would dare to protect a suspect in public.

But just the word ‘private’ caused Bai Ruyi’s face to turn completely red, completely losing the serious and solemn look he used to have.

Bai Ruyi took a deep breath, and fiercely pinched the tender flesh in his palm. He forcefully suppressed his beating heart, and told himself not to think too much, or think too much.

Raising her head, she heard Jin Xiaotao admonishing him: “Boss Jin was just jealous that my clan’s De’s Shop’s Jelly was better than hers, so she used a sinister method to secretly poison my family’s Jelly. Master, look at these people. After eating this Poisonous Fruit Jelly, they would be dizzy and in pain.

Bai Ruyi looked at the people around him. Most of them were much better after taking Jin Xiaolou’s medicine, but there were still some that were serious, and with the red swelling on their throats, it was obvious.

“You said that Jin Xiaolou administered the poison, is there any evidence?” Bai Ruyi asked Jin Xiaotao.

“Of course!” Jin Xiaotao pointed, “The medicine in Jin Xiaolou’s hand is the evidence! If she hadn’t poisoned him, how would she know how to cure him? And they came so fast. It was obvious that they had been waiting for the right moment to make their move! ”

With that, Jin Xiaotao immediately said: “Master, this kind of evil woman, in order to earn money, would not hesitate to kill, even if I were to just kill her, it would not be excessive!”

The last sentence was said coldly, causing the hairs on Jin Xiaolou’s arm to stand up, and her entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

The two of them were blood-related sisters, yet they grew up together. What kind of deep hatred could there be between them?

Even if she was unhappy at home in the past, Jin Xiaotao and Jin Xiaolou were still oppressed together. Jin Xiaolou asked herself, in her memories, it had always been Jin Xiaotao secretly bullying her, she had never done anything to hurt Jin Xiaotao.

Furthermore, because Jin Xiaolou was a fool in the past, he thought that she was treating him sincerely. She was only interested in him, no matter what kind of hard work she had to do, she would finish it quickly without waiting for him to speak.

Jin Xiaolou sighed, she had originally thought that Jin Xiaotao was just vanity and selfishness, wanting to drive him back home.

Unexpectedly, the other party had wanted his life so badly.

“Lady Xiaolou, what do you have to say?” Bai Ruyi pulled herself together and turned to ask Jin Xiaolou.

Jin Xiaolou said indifferently, “I did indeed come prepared.”

Bai Ruyi frowned, he wanted to open his mouth and remind Jin Xiaolou, to make her speak cautiously.

There were some words that couldn’t be taken back once they left her mouth. Even if she wanted to help her, it was inevitable that she would be left behind.

Jin Xiaolou smiled lightly: “However, this poison wasn’t administered by me.”

Bai Ruyi heaved a sigh of relief.

Jin Xiaotao’s shout had already rang in her ears: “Nonsense! If it wasn’t for you, how could you have prepared the antidote in advance? Could it be that you have the ability to predict the future? ”

Bai Ruyi secretly shook his head. These two sisters, born from the same family, how could there be such a difference in character between the sky and the ground …

“Just because it’s the ingredient for the jelly, the Ghost Head Lotus Root is poisonous.” Jin Xiaolou slowly said, “It’s fine to eat the jelly from Liuli Workshop because I know all about the Ghost Head Lotus Root like the back of my hand and naturally know how to treat it. But you don’t know anything about it, you only know to copy my recipe for the jelly. The jelly of De’s Shop has been poisonous ever since you made it. ”

“The whole Ghost Head Lotus Rod is poisonous.” Jin Xiaolou continued, “Among them, the root is the most, after poisoning, your tongue and throat will become swollen and painful, the heat will become unbearable, and if you are serious, it will even cause you to become unconscious, and you will have to take vinegar and some ginger juice in order to be able to detoxify the poison.”

Jin Xiaolou shrugged her shoulders: “If you guys don’t believe me, let De’s Shop’s boss Jin Xiaotao make a Jelly in front of everyone. Since I have the antidote, everyone can try eating it without worry.”

Even though he said that, no one present dared to try.

Thinking of the pain he felt just now, a burning sensation in his throat that he couldn’t scratch, no one wanted to do it again.

Bai Ruyi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. A middle-aged man walked up behind him.

“Old Ou, go to the kitchen after De’s Shop and take a look at those Ghost Head Lotus Rod.” Bai Ruyi instructed.

Before he finished speaking, He Guangkun walked out of the De’s Shop with a bundle of lotus flower rods in his arms: “Master, they are all here.”

Old Ou quickly went to take a look, and after half a cup of tea’s time, he raised his head and nodded towards Bai Ruyi.

“Men, seal the De’s Shop. Jin Xiaotao will bring it back to the yamen and beat it twenty times with a fine of five hundred silver.” Bai Ruyi showed no mercy. Right after he had handed over the order, two servants, one on his left and one on his right, had already taken Jin Xiaotao in.

Jin Xiaotao himself knew that she had lost to Jin Xiaolou, so it would be a waste to argue again.

He could only stare hatefully at Jin Xiaolou, and said: “Don’t get cocky too early! There’s still a long way to go. Do you think you can laugh until the end? ”

“I don’t know if I can laugh until the end.” Jin Xiaolou laughed, “But at the moment, you can’t smile anymore.”

“You!” Jin Xiaotao’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. She was about to say more but she was pushed far away by the people on both sides.

Jin Xiaolou wore a damp robe. After distributing the remaining medicinal herbs, she stood up and left.

The commoners around Jin Xiaolou thanked and thanked him, all of them truly feeling from the bottom of their hearts that from today onwards, no matter which family made the same food as Liu Li and Lin Lang, they would never again be greedy and eat them cheaply.

These fresh sweet water snacks were only authentic when made by the Boss Jin. Other families who copied from the Boss Jin would definitely cause some trouble.

As expected, every penny counted.

Jin Xiaolou once again made the signboard for the two businesses, Glazed Linlang, sound even louder.

This time, she had to thank Jin Xiaotao, because there was a problem with Jin Xiaotao copying the copycat goods, which was why her name had become even more valuable.

Until when Jin Xiaolou left, the crowd dispersed, and the De’s Shop s gate became empty.

Bai Ruyi finally regained his senses, the person holding Jin Xiaotao was long gone, and beside him was her own trusted Attendant.

“Milord.” Attendant whispered.

“Let’s go.” Bai Ruyi was shaken, he raised his leg and walked away.

Many people surrounded the Dragon Couch in the emperor’s sleeping quarters.

The effects of the Wuli Herba were almost over. The white bearded white haired doctor took the Emperor’s pulse, shook his head, and said to the Empress, “Empress, this lowly one is truly powerless. His Majesty’s dragon body is severely injured, and I need to eat three ginseng soup everyday to boost my vitality, but this is not a long term plan. If I want His Majesty to recover, I will still need Wuli Herba. ”

Even after the Emperor fainted due to a fit of coughing, he was still unconscious.

The younger ones, who were like the noble men of Yang, had long hid behind them and secretly wiped away their tears.

The Queen felt that this was the best news, the Wuli Herba had long passed the season, and they couldn’t even find it if they wanted to.

He immediately ordered his concubines to return to their respective homes, and sent Doctor Miao away. He sat down by the side and took the emperor’s hand.

As soon as his hand touched it, he saw the emperor’s eyelids twitch.

The empress was shocked, afraid that she would wake the emperor up, so she quickly let go. She leaned over and whispered softly into the emperor’s ear, “Your majesty, don’t worry. Your consort will definitely protect Yu-er and this mountain of Great Zhou for you.”

As he finished, his eyebrows shot up and his appearance changed into that of a myriad of beauties. Facing the aging Son of Heaven, the Queen was instantly filled with energy and anger. She felt that her life had only truly begun now.
