Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

After thinking it over, Shen Xuanheng smiled faintly and decided not to interfere with her decision-making. The worst that could happen was that he would just spend a little more time and effort to be her support.

Shen Xuanheng turned over, hugged Su Xuqing, and pulled her into his arms.

He hugged her around the waist, with her back pressed against his chest. She felt the warmth and looked back quickly, fearing that she had turned over and woke him up.

With the faint starlight, Su Xuqing saw that Shen Xuanheng's eyes were closed, his eyelashes were long, and his breathing was even, and he didn't look like he was awake at all.

Su Xuqing breathed a sigh of relief and curled up like a kitten.

The reason why he kept going back and forth just now was because Su Xuqing was reviewing his plan, worried that there would be a loophole somewhere, which would eventually lead to Sun Youwei's downfall.

But after being hugged by Shen Xuanheng, she felt very warm and her worries were lessened.

Forget it, I'll think about it tomorrow, there shouldn't be any problem.

The next day, early in the morning.

The sun had just peeked out half of its blushing face from behind the clouds. The faint sunlight sprinkled down from the sky, quickly dispersing the light morning mist of early autumn.

The mist mixed with the fragrance of grass and soil drifted in from the window. Su Xuqing took a deep breath and felt relaxed.

After serving tea to the old princess, Su Xuqing planned to go to Tutor Sun's residence to accompany Sun Youwei and see if the Sultan would make any next move.

But after getting on the carriage, Su Xuqing changed her mind and asked Li Er to go to Tong Ren Tang instead, because she suddenly remembered that three days had passed and it was time to go to Tong Ren Tang to pick up the medicinal materials she had ordered.

The Sultan who was secretly observing the Zhennan Palace raised his eyebrows, "The Sun Palace is in the south, and she did go to the west. It seems that she has other things to do this time."

The Sultan smiled coldly, thinking that this was a godsend.

"Xu Sandao, keep an eye on the Crown Prince's Consort's movements. If she goes to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, find a way to stop her."

Xu Sandao looked embarrassed, "Why would I be able to stop the Crown Prince's Consort?"

The Sultan glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "If you can't even think of a way to solve such a small matter, how can you work for the Third Prince in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sandao had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the Crown Princess, you go and do your thing."

"That's true."

The Sultan nodded with satisfaction, then mounted his horse and rushed towards the Sun Mansion.

Half an hour later, Su Xuqing arrived at Tong Ren Tang. When the shop assistants saw her, they greeted her with a smile.

"Sir, you are here really early."

Su Xuqing smiled calmly and asked, "Are the goods I want ready?"

"I'm ready. I'm ready."

The waiter shouted towards the backyard: "Hurry up and move the herbs out of the yard. The guests are coming to get them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a few guys worked together to carry out large boxes from the backyard.

The medicine box was placed on the ground, making a dull sound.

The clerk opened the box swiftly, then said with a smile, "Sir, please have a look. The herbs in our shop are all of the best quality, old enough, and complete."

Su Xuqing reached out and picked up a medicinal herb called 'Yinqiaozi' and took a closer look at it.

"It's pretty good."

Hearing this, the guy felt relieved.

"If you think there is no problem, please let them take it away."

The waiter smiled and thought that the shopkeeper had really taken advantage of him this time. More than half of the ten boxes were moldy medicinal herbs that had been washed and dried. Although they would not kill people, they were of no use at all.

Now, as long as this woman takes the herbs away, the shop will not acknowledge her even if she finds any problems later.

Su Xuqing closed the box and was about to nod, but the wind that came out when the box was closed blew on her face, making her expression suddenly suspicious.

Because she clearly smelled the scent of medicinal herbs mixed with a hint of mold.

"Not urgent."

Su Xuqing looked at the remaining nine boxes and said slowly, "Open the remaining boxes. I want to check them one by one."

The waiter's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Sir, why are you wasting your time? Don't you trust our pharmacy?"

Originally, Su Xuqing just had some doubts, but after hearing the waiter's words that made things even more revealing, she suddenly felt that there must be something wrong with these herbs.

"Open it. I don't want to say it a third time."

Seeing Su Xuqing's firm attitude, the waiter curled his lips and had to order people to open all the medicine boxes.

A layer of new medicinal materials was spread on top of each medicine box, and the problematic ones were buried underneath. The waiter originally thought that Su Xuqing would not look underneath, and even if she did, he would not be able to see the trick.

As a result, Su Xuqing walked to the medicine box, reached out to move the herbs on it, and then grabbed out the problematic herbs underneath.

Su Xuqing broke the herbs below and found that some of them had changed color and decayed, and some even had mold on them.

"Is this how you do business in this century-old store?"

Turning around, Su Xuqing scattered the herbs on the ground and stared at the waiter coldly...

"This……"

When the guy saw that his secret was exposed, he didn't know what to do.

Customers who were buying medicinal herbs in the shop came over and wanted to find out what was going on.

The shopkeeper who was secretly observing in the side room saw this scene, snorted coldly, and pushed the door open.

"Sir, our century-old brand has always been authentic and fair in price. You paid the money and the herbs were delivered to you in full. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

The last time she came here, Su Xuqing thought the catfish shopkeeper was a little funny, but this time, seeing his ruthless face, she immediately felt disgusted.

"The quality of these herbs is completely different from the ones on your shelf. Not only are they rotten, but they're also moldy and can be discarded. Yet you still sold them to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the customers in the shop all frowned. Someone picked up a piece of medicinal herb from the ground and twisted it with his hands, and it turned into rotten crumbs.

"It's really rotten..."

Upon hearing this, the catfish shopkeeper was not panicked. Instead, he raised his voice and said, "Sir, what you said is wrong. This herb was fine when I gave it to you. How come it went bad after passing through your hands? You must have done something to frame me!"

Su Xuqing sneered repeatedly. This shopkeeper was really shameless than a city wall. The herbs hadn't even left the house. What could she do? She didn't even blink when she talked nonsense!

Seeing that Su Xuqing didn't say anything, the catfish shopkeeper pulled his moustache and said proudly: "Look, I guessed it right at once. You must have been sent by another shop to cause trouble. Otherwise, what would a woman need so many medicinal herbs for!"

The guests looked at the ten large boxes and felt a little strange. They all looked at Su Xuqing, wanting to know what she wanted so many medicinal herbs for.
