Xu Mengxiao blinked her long and beautiful thick eyelashes and smiled softly, "No, you can rest for a while. Don't worry about the outside."

A keen intuition, I always feel that if I continue to ask, my current peaceful life may be disrupted.

But she thought that Lu He had revealed enough, and she could almost guess some of it, so there was no need to ask anymore.

"Yeah." Lu He pinched his fingers and then said, "If you have anything, come to me. Don't be alone."

"it is good."

He turned around and went out, but his face changed, and he said with sadness: "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, my husband is really not feeling well, so he just drank the soup and lay down. When he is almost recovered, I will definitely visit you in person with him." !”

Song Gao looked at her empty bowl and twitched the corner of his mouth. Is this called barely finishing the soup?

But seeing this beautiful little woman full of worries, he reluctantly said that he would continue to visit her.

But isn't she really deceiving herself? Song Jiu raised his eyes and looked at Lu Hai, and saw that the other party was worried to the point of being unable to sit still. It must be that he wasn't cheating?

However, he didn't know that Xu Mengxiao was not the best at deceiving him, but Lu Hai. Lu Hai was also deceived by her at this time, thinking that something had really happened to his elder brother, so he didn't need to act at all, and he was acting in his true colors. .

In turn, Song Jiu also believed Xu Mengxiao's words and had to leave with regret. He thought that sooner or later he would see Lu and He who had never seen the true face of Lushan Mountain!

"Brother, is there something wrong with that person?" Lu Hai, who immediately went to check on him worriedly as soon as the others left, asked impatiently when he saw that Lu He was fine.

"Well, I'm an old friend from the past. I'm from the capital."

Lu Hai understood instantly. He came from the capital and knew his elder brother. His background must not be simple. And such a person would suddenly come to this small Suxian County and become a small county magistrate?

"What should I do? Are we exposed somewhere?"

"Maybe it has something to do with Mu Ying." But he didn't expect that someone would be watching him like this behind his back. As soon as he used his former person, he was caught by the other party and made arrangements so quickly.

However, Lu He never thought about continuing to hide it. Ever since he got the prescription from Shen Yuan, he needed two extremely hard-to-find strange medicines.

He knew it was almost time.

Lu Hai was also vaguely aware of this, and said distressedly: "I'm afraid that my secret will be revealed. It would be better if I was as unaware as Xu Mengxiao. Brother, you don't even know. She is not afraid at all, hum."

Lu He looked at him with a half-smile, "You don't know anything?"

Lu Hai shrank his neck, unwilling to admit that he was stupid and cowardly, but his eldest brother wouldn't tell Xu Mengxiao everything, right?

No, it's related to his eldest brother's life and safety. Even Xu Mengxiao has to be careful. After all, there are many things wrong with her. She doesn't look like the stupid little peasant girl the villagers call her...

Lu Hai's eyes flashed, "Brother, do you think Xu Mengxiao will follow you..."

Lu He knocked on the table to interrupt him. At this time, the door was lightly knocked.

"Come in."

"Hey, Mu Ying?!" Lu Hai lowered his voice and looked at the man who walked in with disbelief, "How dare you...?"

"Some people from the town are talking to Lu Lizheng outside." This was an explanation of the reason.

This man, who looked extremely ordinary and could even disappear into the crowd at any time, presented a letter of investigation to Lu He.

"This is all the history and relevant evidence of what happened to the old man of the Meng family..."

Meng family? Lu Hai was confused. He thought Mu Ying took the risk to come here to tell him something extremely important.

But looking at the other party's attitude, why does it look like he has nothing to do with his elder brother?

Until he accidentally glanced at the word "Xu Zicheng" in the corner of the letter, and instantly remembered that his elder brother had asked his father about how Xu Zicheng died that year.

"Brother, are you investigating what happened to Xu Zicheng back then?"

No, the most important thing for Mu Ying to come over is not to find those two medicines. Brother, do you know what the point is?

Lu Hai was secretly worried.

"Well, keep quiet." This was to warn him not to talk nonsense.

Lu He didn't even raise his head. He held a stack of thick papers with his slender fingers and flipped through them. Jun Yi's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. It wasn't that the Meng family had risen rapidly in the capital over the years and had become a rookie that he was afraid of. , but——

He took out one of the pieces of paper and said, "Back then, Baiji Pharmacy compensated the Meng family for an ancestral prescription. Is this true?"

"Yes, this matter is true, but I don't know what the prescription is and what its specific use is. I only know that after the Meng family returned to the capital, they dedicated this prescription to the son-in-law of one of the concubines of the left prime minister, and that person His father is Jing Kunzhe, deputy envoy of Taiyuan Hospital."

Involving Zuo Xiang and Taiyuan, no wonder the Meng family can rise to prominence in the capital so quickly. I wonder what the effect of this prescription can bring them so much power?

He looked at another piece of paper. If Xu Mengxiao were present, she would definitely find that this was the whereabouts of Bai Zhaonian, the shopkeeper of Baiji Pharmacy, whom she had previously found.

[Renamed Li Jie, currently the medicinal materials manager of Fucheng Renxin Medical Center in Luocheng. Recently, there is a move to change...]

Lu He's eyes sharpened, "Hurry and watch him carefully, don't let him get out of control."

"Yes!" Mu Ying turned around and left without saying anything, but was startled as soon as he opened the door.

Standing at the door was a girl with sparkling eyes. She didn't know how long she had been here and whether she heard anything.

What made him even more tense was that he hadn't even noticed it just now!

"Who are you?" Xu Mengxiao looked around silently. Although the other person thought he didn't exist and his aura was very well hidden, she still noticed his movements immediately, but he never came out. She was a little worried, so Just came to take a look.

"Meng Xiao." Lu He called, and Mu Ying was stunned again. When had his master ever called a woman so affectionately?

Not to mention women, even Master Song and those brothers who had been through life and death were not treated like this.

Xu Mengxiao shrugged her shoulders obediently, let the man go, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, do you want to watch Uncle Six, Lu Shi and the others perform suicide?"

This tone is no less than the gesture of watching a monkey show.

Lu Hai geared up, "That's natural, how could we miss this great show!"

Lu He's eyes were warm and deep, "Okay!"

Xu Mengxiao came to help him personally and tied a warm cloak on him. Mu Ying just stood at the door stupidly and forgot to leave.

Ever since he came here, he had not paid any attention to this so-called "Lu He's wife", but what happened now?

Lu He raised his eyes and glanced around, which brought him back to his senses in shock, and disappeared from the Lu family in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?" Lu Lizheng was stunned, "Did something slip by?"

"Haha, are you too happy today? You are so happy about moving and being promoted that you are dazzled."

Lu Lizheng stopped paying attention and hurriedly asked Wang and others who were helping to clean up the mess to rest, and gave them several gifts in return to take back.

This is what every guest will receive - three big white steamed buns with red seals, two hard-boiled eggs, and a pack of sweet-scented osmanthus cake tied with a red string, worth at least fifty cents.
