"What? The procedures are illegal?" Meixiang cried out in surprise and almost threw the tea bowl in her hand away.

Mei Ying nodded. He was also a little sad that he didn't get things done the first time he went to the yamen.

"The clerk in charge of registration? What did he say?" Meixiang forced herself to calm down and ask carefully.

Mei Ying recalled it three times in her mind, making sure she hadn't missed anything before replying, "He first looked through the contract, then looked at the rough plan of the house and threw it to me, saying that the procedures were illegal. Then when I asked him more carefully, he didn't say anything, and later he kicked me out."

"Ha, you hit a wall?" Sun Shao, who had returned to the provincial capital after lunch, walked in and said, then he looked at what Mei Ying was holding again and again and confirmed that there were only two pieces of paper. He asked with a little surprise: "You only brought these two pieces of paper?"

Meixiang and the other girl raised their heads suddenly: "What else do you want to bring?"

"Oh, of course it's the gift box and the purse. Otherwise, do you think it's so easy to get things done at the government office?" Sun Shao said it as if it was a matter of course.

Mei Xiang used her eyes to signal him to tell her in detail. Young Master Sun walked into the room and sat on the chair opposite Mei Xiang. He took the tea bowl handed to him by the nanny and took a sip. He then asked the question he had when he first came to the Mei Mansion: "What kind of tea is this? I have never tasted such a clear and fragrant tea."

"Mammy made her own tea. The black tea you drink is not tea, it's tea foam." Meixiang replied casually, and then asked: "Tell me what happened in the government office?"

Young Master Sun took another sip of tea slowly. Seeing Meixiang's angry expression, he decided not to tease her anymore. "Private people who buy and sell houses usually don't go to the government office to register. First, the registration is paid, and the deed tax ranging from 3% to 16% is unaffordable for most people. Second, you have to take care of these petty officials, otherwise they will keep delaying like today."

"This situation exists everywhere, but it's particularly bad in Liuzhou Prefecture. If it weren't for the long time required to grow seedlings and plant trees, I would rather choose not to register." Sun Shao then added in a low voice.

Meixiang felt a sinking feeling in her heart after hearing this and she suppressed her irritable heart. This was not something she should care about and she should just do the task at hand well.

"By the way, please arrange your affairs for tomorrow. You know I am good at herbs, but I am not very good at pulse diagnosis and prescriptions. So I am not sure about your condition. I have asked another doctor to come and see you tomorrow."

"Doctor, treat me?" Sun Shao was a little unsure about what he heard and was so shocked that he was a little incoherent.

Meixiang glanced at him, not understanding why he had such a big reaction: "Why are you so surprised? Only if we cure your illness can we earn more money!"

This light sentence hit Sun Yu's heart like a thousand pounds. From childhood to adulthood, others had always tried every means to make his illness worse. Even his mother was only concerned about whether he could manage the family and how he could overwhelm the mother and her two sons in the East Courtyard. The one who really cared about his illness was this little girl whom he had only known for a few days, even though she was claiming to be a partner.

The next day, Mei Ying went to the government office again with a purse containing five taels of silver and brought back the seal of Liuzhou Prefecture. Chen Da mentioned this matter in a letter he wrote to the capital the next month.

Doctor Wang and Young Master Sun arrived at Liu's house almost at the same time. There was no doubt that Aunt Li had added an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks for today's breakfast.

After the meal, when Doctor Wang sat down next to Young Master Sun, Steward Sun carefully asked the question in his heart: "Are you Mrs. Wang from Wangjia Hutong in the capital..."

"Well, I'm Doctor Wang. Please keep silent while I'm taking your pulse." Doctor Wang interrupted Steward Sun calmly, which was also a disguised way of giving him an answer.

"Ah" Manager Sun covered his mouth in time, but his eyes were red. God knows how hard he tried to find the whereabouts of Doctor Wang, and he was invited to the Liu Mansion. Turning to look at Meixiang who was staring at Doctor Wang taking his pulse, he secretly promoted Meixiang's importance to the second place, after the young master.

After Doctor Wang took the left hand, he frowned and thought for a while, then asked Young Master Sun to change to the right hand, then raised his head and looked at Meixiang.

Meixiang nodded in understanding, and asked Nanny Chen and others to leave the room and close the door.

"Doctor Wang, would you mind telling me something small first? I was lucky enough to pick a few plants of Herba Eupatorii, Herba Inulae and Herba Dictamni in the back mountain a few days ago. I thought you might be able to use them." Meixiang saw the excited expression on Manager Sun's face just now, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Doctor Wang was shocked and blurted out in surprise: "Miss, you also know medicine? Can you tell me who your teacher is?"

"Mei Xiang has never studied medicine. I have only learned a little bit of it after reading a lot of books and collecting herbs in the back mountain for a few years. I dare not jump to conclusions, so I trouble you to come here." Mei Xiang blinked and said something against her will. In that world, she had studied medicine for decades, both Chinese and Western medicine. But because she had no idea how advanced the medical skills of Haoyue's era were, she decided to pretend to be an inexperienced person for the time being.

"Miss, you are so talented. Young Master Sun has indeed been poisoned. I was worried about the medicinal materials, but now I am more confident." Doctor Wang smiled and gave the terrifying answer.

"Poisoned?" Manager Sun was really shocked. No wonder he had been seeing doctors for so many years but there was no improvement. It turned out to be poisoning. "Excuse me, Doctor Wang, do you know what poison the young master was poisoned by?"

Doctor Wang glanced at the master and servant, then looked at Meixiang and the beautiful woman sitting at the top, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman sighed inwardly as she looked at Young Master Sun and the other two. Since Xiang'er was related to the young master of the Sun family, she would have to wade into the muddy waters of the Sun family. "Doctor Wang, just say whatever you want to say. Young Master Sun is not an outsider."

When Doctor Wang heard the beautiful woman's words "not an outsider", he immediately understood what was going on and spoke as detailed as possible: "Young Master Sun, if what I have found is correct, you have been in poor health since childhood and often cough and fall asleep. And Young Master Sun, have you noticed that your symptoms will improve as long as you go out?"

"Doctor Wang, what do you mean?" At this time, Sun Shao also began to become uneasy. Due to health reasons, he seldom went out for social events when he was in the capital, and mostly stayed at home with his mother to recuperate.

"Pay more attention to the people around you at home, because the poison is most likely in your food, tea, or even medicine." Doctor Wang got to the point directly without hiding anything.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Sun's eyes became fierce, and the aura of a head of the family was released involuntarily: "Uncle Sun, let Second Uncle Sun investigate, and investigate thoroughly for me! I want to see who is so brave!"

"Yes, young master, let me know who it is and I'm going to skin him alive!" Uncle Sun's eyes suddenly became sharp.
