Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

The answers copied here made Bai Fei even angrier: "If I hadn't watched you grow up, I would have thought that you deliberately pushed Tao Lan into the fire pit."

"Don't be suspicious of such groundless rumours. It's too early to say anything now. You will know the truth in the future anyway."

Bai Fei ignored He Shulan and sulked alone.

Tao Ran was busy with other things and didn't stay any longer. Besides, there were so many patients living here.

He was afraid of being infected: "Now that Tao Lan's illness has recovered, let's go home quickly."

Bai Fei packed up with He Shulan.

At this time, the prince came in from outside. When he learned that Tao Lan had recovered and was ready to go back, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He Shulan can also go back with him.

Zhu Jun came in and saw that the prince was exhausted and asked, "The patient in the pharmacy has recovered. What are you busy with every day?"

"Investigating a case." The prince had stayed in the pharmacy for such a long time, and had been with these yamen runners day and night. They were quite familiar with each other, and he did not hide anything.

"Recently, due to the relapse of patients in the capital, no one has committed a crime, and no one has reported the case to the government office," Zhu Jun replied puzzledly.

The prince hesitated for a moment and told Zhu Jun the case he was investigating.

He had been investigating for so long but had not found any clues. This might very well become a murder case. "We suspect that the people in the capital got sick this time because someone deliberately spread the disease."

Zhu Jun's expression became serious: "Have you found any clues?"

"No." The prince sighed, "I have searched for a long time, but have not found any clues. If it were not for the judgment of the imperial physician that the infectious disease contracted by the people came from the border town, I would have thought it was a mistake."

When encountering a case, Zhu Jun became unusually rational: "Since it came from the border town, someone must have brought the virus. Haven't any suspicious people from other places been found in the capital?"

This reminded the prince: "Why didn't I think of it? You are really smart."

"These are all basic common sense, they are nothing?"

The prince felt that Zhu Jun was not as simple as he seemed: "Can you solve the case?"

Zhu Jun nodded: "Before the incident at home, I had been in the government office. In addition to daily patrol work, I also solved cases."

"Then come with me to the capital and look for those outsiders with suspicious behavior." The prince excitedly invited Zhu Jun. With Zhu Jun's joining, they should be able to find these people quickly.

Zhu Jun hesitated: "Although Tao Lan's illness has been cured, she still needs someone to take care of her. I can't help you solve the case for the time being."

The prince was silent for a while, and saw He Shulan and Bai Fei busying themselves: "Tao Lan's illness has recovered, and the people from the Tao Mansion are taking him back. You don't have to stay here to take care of Tao Lan."

Zhu Jun walked to the bed and confirmed with Tao Lan, and learned that her parents wanted to take her back home.

So he agreed to go with the prince to solve the case.

After Bai Fei and He Shulan packed their things, Zhu Jun saw them off to the gate.

Watched Tao Lan get on the carriage and leave.

This actually made Bai Fei feel a little better about Zhu Jun: "He's a nice guy with a good personality, but his family background is a little poor."

Tao Lan smiled but said nothing. She didn't want to explain any more.

……

The prince did not stay and led Zhu's army to the streets of the capital to look for suspicious people.

The two men sat on their horses and led the soldiers to search the street for a long time, but they did not find any suspicious people.

Zhu Jun said, "Looking like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not only a waste of time, but we won't be able to find the person either."

"Do you have any ideas?" The prince now doesn't know what to do?

Zhu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Let these people fall into the trap themselves."

"How to do it?" The prince became interested.

"Have the government send out a notice to tell the people in the capital that you have caught the person who released the virus. When these people get the news, they will definitely come to the government to confirm. Then we will catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Great." The prince clapped his hands excitedly, "You are really smart. This way we don't have to waste time and energy looking for it."

Having said that, he immediately ordered the soldiers to post the notice.

……

Tao Lan returned home and thought about her and Tan Shaocong, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

She sneaked out of Tao's house and found Tan Shaocong.

Tan Shaocong's eyes became deep. Tao Lan's fair skin, without any scars, appeared in front of him again, alive and kicking: "Your illness is cured."

"How do you know I'm sick?" Tao Lan asked puzzledly.

Tan Shaocong glanced at Tao Lan and said, "Why are you pretending in front of me? You asked Zhu Jun to come to me before, and Zhu Jun told me that you were infected."

"Since you knew that, why didn't you come to see me?" Tao Lan was very angry. During this time, she lay in bed, thinking about Tan Shaocong every day.

Unexpectedly, Tan Shaocong knew she was sick but ignored her.

"Are you crazy? Do you want me to be infected too?" Tan Shaocong didn't want to lie in bed sick, and this kind of disease could easily leave disgusting scars on the body.

"Then... just ignore me." It would be a lie for Tao Lan to say she wasn't sad after hearing this.

"Why didn't I take care of you? I told you a long time ago not to take care of those patients. It was you who didn't listen to me and insisted on going. Now you are infected. You can only blame yourself."

It was as if Tao Lan had just met Tan Shaocong for the first time. Every little detail of their past interactions kept appearing in her mind, as if she were in a dream.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond to him, and saw that Tan Shaocong was intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance from her.

She knew that her relationship with Tan Shaocong was completely over. She turned around, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, said no more, and left silently.

Tan Shaocong did not try to keep Tao Lan. Although Tao Lan's infectious disease had recovered, he still felt uncomfortable.

Not wanting to get too close to Tao Lan, he was about to close the door when Zhong Ming came hurriedly: "Something happened."

Tan Shaocong asked casually, "What happened?"

"Tell me honestly, did the Emperor Wei send anyone else?"

Tan Shaocong replied: "No! It's just you and me, and your two subordinates."

Zhong Ming took a breath and said, "The government has posted a notice and caught the person who released the virus. Even now, you still refuse to admit it and are hiding it from me."

Tan Shaocong was surprised: "Impossible, Emperor Wei didn't tell me that he sent other people here to plant the virus."

"Then how did they know that the people in the capital were sick because someone had infected them with a virus? And they even posted a notice to tell everyone that the person who infected them had been caught."

Tan Shaocong stroked his chin and thought for a long time: "Could they be deceiving us and want us to fall into their trap?"
