Chapter 23
When they got on the carriage, several people felt even heavier, especially Li Wei, who hesitated to speak many times.

"You can say whatever you want. I don't blame you."

Li Wei lowered his head in shame. He had already guessed the relationship between Ke Yiqing and Yan Ming, but he still had the shamelessness to let someone visit him on his behalf. Who knew that Ke Yiqing was pregnant with a child and was murdered? Anyone with any brains would know that. The person who poisoned him was somewhat related to Yan Ming.

Li Wei panicked when he thought of this.

His voice was hoarse, but he finally said: "Madam, why don't you sell those grains and other things quickly and at a low price?"

"Why?"

Ke Yiqing frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"You are now in danger of losing your life. If you can raise more money, you might be able to survive."

She breathed a sigh of relief, "What did I think? I thought it was a drop in food prices. If that's the case, don't worry, everything will go according to the original plan."

Li Wei hesitated to speak, but Ke Yiqing stopped him with a smile: "Even if it's for the sake of my children, I have to earn a share of the family business first."

After saying that, she no longer cared about Li Wei, but turned to look at Zi Xing. This little girl had been silent for so long on the road, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"Your sister doesn't want to go with you. Do you resent her in your heart?"

Zi Xing shook his head, "As long as she has a good life."

Ke Yiqing rubbed her head, but she had a plan in mind.

"Li will take some time for you to go to Miss Xie's Medical Center and ask if they have any medicine collectors nearby. I plan to buy medicine from her."

"Madam, although Miss Xie has superb medical skills, it is only a small medical clinic after all. It is estimated that there are only enough medicine farmers for their own use, and I am afraid that they will not be able to provide for us."

Ke Yiqing smiled and refused to answer such words.

Li Wei patted his head and said, "Madam, do you want to win over Miss Xie to sit in court for our drug store?"

This time Li Wei was on to something. In the early stage, relying on the information gap that others did not know about the cold epidemic could indeed make their medical clinic famous. However, if it was for the long term, they still had to have an advantage.

Ke Yiqing really fell in love with Xie Li, not only because of her superb medical skills, but also because of her kind heart.

And this is exactly what a good pharmacy must have.

Yu Jin couldn't help but say, "Miss Xie sent us all away later. Can the poison in Madam be cured?"

"She said just study hard and do your best."

Yu Jin felt sad, but did not dare to show it, "Madam Jiren has her own destiny, and everything will be fine."

"hope so."

The atmosphere became dull and there was nothing to talk about on the way.

Ke Yiqing and his group separated from Li Wei at the back door of the Hou Mansion. Before they left, she told him to go to the shop and have a look. If the decision was made, she would prepare for the opening as soon as possible.

Li Weizi agreed, but before leaving, he was stuffed full of banknotes.

"This is……"

"I am not in charge of the Marquis Mansion now, so I don't feel safe even if I keep the banknotes with me. You can just use the money to buy another house for me."

She warned that this new house was prepared for the future, that it should be spacious and bright, and that the location should be secluded enough.

After Li Wei left, Yujin asked in confusion: "Now that we have a separate yard, why do we need to buy another residence?"

Ke Yiqing shook his head. In two months at most, the news of Jingnan's fall could not be concealed. Then the famine would begin. Gu Zhennan would definitely come back before then. She was not sure whether she could let him recognize the child in his belly.If not, she needs to prepare for the child in advance.

When she returned to her own house, sure enough, a maid ran over and said that the warehouse had been stolen.

It really means Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here soon, she sneered. The only valuable thing in the warehouse was the ginseng given to Yan Ming the day before yesterday. She didn't know if the "thief" would be angry if he didn't find anything.

With such sarcasm in his heart, Ke Yiqing still did enough on the surface, "When did this happen? Why are you on the job?"

The maid hesitantly said, "It was the day before yesterday. My wife came back very late that day. As usual, the slaves went to the small kitchen to watch the cook making bamboo leaf chicken. When the slaves went to clean the warehouse this afternoon, they discovered that the warehouse had been stolen."

"Bamboo leaf chicken? When will I eat bamboo leaf chicken?"

Yu Jin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and whispered: "Every time Madam comes back from the Liyuan, she always wants to eat Bamboo Leaf Chicken, so I ordered someone to prepare it in advance."

"Okay, I understand, you go down."

"Madam, what should we do?"

"Your wife is not a detective, why don't you report her to the police?"

Now the housekeeper who was hiding in the corner jumped out and said, "Madam, the family scandal must not be made public."

Ke Yiqing pretended to be puzzled, "Butler is really good at joking. If you say that, I would think that one of my own family members is stealing from my own family members."

The housekeeper was speechless now. He couldn't tell her that the old lady saw that she was not in the yard and asked him to steal it with his servants, right?
"For such a big matter, I still need to talk to the old lady first."

"My mother fainted again a few days ago. I guess her body hasn't recovered yet. How can I trouble her again?"

"This……"

Yu Jin, who had been following her for so many days, heard the doorway coming and said with a smile: "The boy in the madam's yard is very fast. I guess Jing Zhaoyi sent someone to find out before the news reached the old madam's ears." What a little thief.”

The housekeeper was horrified, managed to deal with it for a few more words, and then rushed to the old lady's yard.

"What is he going to do?"

"Ignore him, let's go back and rest first."

Ke Yiqing did what he said, even if he didn't, no one would show up.

The old lady's personal nanny was blocked outside the door like this. She didn't think of forcing her way in, but there was a fierce-looking Zi Xing standing next to her. She could only wait patiently for half an hour.

Xu Shi had just forced out the toxin, and she felt refreshed after her sleep. When she saw her grandma, she still laughed: "Why are you here, grandma? Come in and drink tea."

The mama's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "The warehouse was stolen, but the young lady still had time to sleep."

"Don't you have the time to stand in the yard and watch me sleep?"

"You!" The grandma was furious, but she still remembered the old lady's instructions, so she snorted coldly, "The old lady called you over, young lady, please be more agile. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you will make the old lady angry! "

Ke Yiqing didn't take this kind of threat seriously at all. This old lady had no power and power, and she had to rely on her daughter-in-law's dowry to survive in the Hou Mansion.

If she really had some ability, she wouldn't have made a joke about being a thief.

Yes, something like this happened in my previous life. At that time, all the yards in the house were robbed, but the old lady tried her best to oppose her reporting to the government.

Later, she said that she could raise the money to redeem the second master. In addition, her dowry was gone at that time. How could it be such a coincidence? She couldn't think about many things in detail, otherwise she would be shocked by her foolish filial piety at that time.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, the old lady's face was as dark as that of the nanny, and beside her stood the eldest lady and the second lady with the same complexion.
