Dressed as the villain's stepmother

insect.

Jiang Lianzhu pinched the little bug from Liao Xiaoping's shoulder, found a bottle, and put the little bug in.

"Mom, why do you put this little bug in a bottle? How disgusting."

Liao Xiaoan was most afraid of bugs. Seeing that Jiang Lianzhu not only did not throw away the bugs, she also carefully packed them up. This behavior was really strange.

"It's okay. Mom just thinks this insect may be useful. Okay, you guys bow to His Highness the Crown Prince. After you finish the ceremony, Mom will take you home."

Jiang Lianzhu changed the topic.

But this little bug might actually be useful.

There are so many people waiting in the East Palace. Due to the poor health of His Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty has to go to the East Palace to visit His Highness the Crown Prince almost every day.

The maids and servants in the East Palace had no reason to be careless and let such little bugs appear around the prince.

If the waiter wasn't unhappy, another possibility is that someone deliberately released the bug.

Jiang Lianzhu just talked to Dr. Li today about her master, the medical sage Sun Qi, and the poisonous poisons in southern Xinjiang, so she became suspicious.

Although Liu Qingqing is not good at practicing Gu insects.

But since one of their kind is good at poison, maybe she might recognize this little bug.

With this mentality, Jiang Lianzhu took the porcelain vase filled with bugs and returned her children to Lihua Garden. The little ones had been living outside during this period, and now they could finally return to their own home, and they were very excited.

As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse.

Although the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was very kind to them, Jiang Lianzhu, the best child in the family, made breakfast the next morning in order to make up for the children.

"Koizumi, Madoka, take good care of them both. If they wake up, tell them I'll go to the store and have a look and I'll be back in a long time."

Although breakfast is ready, the little ones were too excited last night and went to bed very late, so they haven't gotten up yet.

But Jiang Lianzhu still has her own things to do today.

"Okay, ma'am."

Madoka Koizumi answered respectfully.

Lihuayuan was not at peace during this period. They knew that Jiang Lianzhu was entrusting the second young master and the third young lady to their care, so of course they did not dare to be careless.

As for Liao Xiaoping, he is still in the palace.

As a third-grade imperial eunuch, Jiang Lianzhu only had to kneel and worship in the mourning hall for the prince for one day, but the other ministers of the court still had to stay in front of the mourning hall today, so Liao Xiaoping also had to wait in the mourning hall.

After leaving Lihuayuan, we got on the carriage.

Jiang Lianzhu went to the shop first.

Firstly, she wanted to bring the little bug to Liu Qingqing to see, and secondly, she wanted to see if Taozi had arrived.

Unfortunately, the two people she was waiting for were not in the store.

Jiang Lianzhu handed the small bottle she brought to Liu Zi, and then handed it to Liu Qingqing through Liu Zi's hand.

"Tell Liu Qingqing that I want her to check the origin of the contents of this bottle. The more detailed the better."

"it is good."

Liuzi put the small bottle in his arms and left the pharmacy.

"Doctor Hu, is there any news from Taozi today?"

Jiang Lianzhu walked into the inner hall and asked Mr. Hu who was sitting in the hall about Taozi to see if there was any new progress in this matter.

"No, shopkeeper, you went to their house yesterday and didn't see anyone?"

Dong Hu was very surprised.

He thought Jiang Lianzhu had gone to Tao Zi's house and should have figured out Tao Zi's situation.

"Ah."

Seeing that Taozi still hadn't contacted anyone she knew, Jiang Lianzhu just made up her mind to go to Wudaocheng Qianshui Village to meet Taozi.

"Doctor Hu, if people from Lihuayuan come to the shop and ask about my whereabouts, just tell them that I went to Wudaocheng Qianshui Village to do something, and tell them not to worry, I will be back soon."

Jiang Lianzhu left the city directly after leaving some instructions.

She originally thought she could go home early today to be with her child, but unfortunately there were too many things waiting for her to deal with, and Taozi's unusual behavior meant that she had to go to Qianshui Village this time.

Hurry up and rush to Wudao City.

After arriving, Jiang Lianzhu was careful. Instead of using her own appearance to find the person, she changed her appearance by pretending to be a man.

Qianshui Village is a very remote small village, and almost everyone in this place is familiar with it. Therefore, as soon as Jiang Lianzhu appeared, many people gathered around.

"You young man, why are you here with us?"

People who were tired from working at the entrance of the village looked at Jiang Lianzhu who entered the village alone and stopped them.

"Uncle, is this Qianshui Village? I'm here to find my second aunt! My second aunt married to Qianshui Village. She has a son and a daughter. The daughter's name is Taozi."

Jiang Lianzhu left the carriage she came in outside the village and walked into the village.

"Peach? We have a peach here, but this peach has moved out a few years ago!"

Someone in the crowd who knew Tao Zi answered.

"Young man, we know your second aunt, but I'm afraid you won't be able to find their family today. Your second uncle passed away a few years ago. Tao Zi's mother, your second aunt, wanted to help Tao Zi's brother study and take the exam. After taking the imperial examination, he took his son and daughter and moved out of our Qianshui Village!"

Jiang Lianzhu frowned slightly. She didn't expect that she would be a step late again.

But when she thought of what Taozi's neighbor said before, Jiang Lianzhu asked one more question.

"I have inquired about what you are talking about, but my second aunt and their neighbors in the city told me that my second aunt and the others moved back not long ago. Did you really not see their family come back?"

There is great chaos in Kyoto, with various forces fighting against each other.

Taozi, her mother and brother should understand their situation in the capital. In Jiang Lianzhu's view, it would be more likely for them to move back to their hometown to avoid trouble.

"When you say that, I think of it, young man. Indeed, I seemed to have seen Taozi and her mother in the village a few days ago."

Someone in the crowd finally gave Jiang Lianzhu the news she wanted to know.

"But you, a young man with lots of skills, are not going to do anything good in the capital. Why do you have to come and seek refuge with Tao Zi and his poor relatives?"

The people in Qianshui Village were very confused about Jiang Lianzhu's arrival.

In their opinion, since Taozi's father is not the backbone of the Taozi family, there is nothing that can be coveted.

"You still don't know that my second aunt's family has met a noble man in the capital. My cousin is already studying in the capital. I heard that their family was getting rich, so I came all the way to join them. "

The Taozi family used to be powerless, so naturally no one cared about them.

But when Jiang Lianzhu said this, everyone's eyes changed.

"Hey! Don't tell me, I remember someone came to our village looking for Taozi and the others yesterday!"
