Chapter 51 Highway Robbery

Shopkeeper Jiang took ten boxes of skin cream from Su Wan, closed the shop door, and went to Cuiyan Pavilion, the largest in town. According to Su Wan's instructions, he gave them to them for free. If they liked it, they could patronize his Yanzhi Pavilion next time.

Su Wan was testing Shopkeeper Jiang to see if he was capable of doing the job. Therefore, after giving him ten boxes of Hongyu Cream, she did not intervene and started to prepare medicinal materials and began to make medicine for injuries.

Doctor Zhou had foresight and hired two medicine boys to help Su Wan prepare medicinal materials.

Su Wan first focused on the medicine for injuries. Only when the patient had a difficult and complicated disease would she come out to treat the patient. At lunch and dinner, she would take time to go to Zuixianglou.

The days were full and busy. Su Wan didn't know that she rarely showed up to diagnose patients and only took patients that Doctor Zhou couldn't cure. The rumors in the town added a mysterious color to her, and her medical skills were passed on as miraculous, and almost everyone knew about it.

Jiang and Song Dalang received the letter from the capital at the post station. The mother and son found a corner, took out the letter and read it.

Song Dalang took out a twenty-liang silver note, his face showed joy, and quickly stuffed it into Jiang's pocket and continued to read the letter.

The more he read, the more solemn his expression became. After reading it all, his brows were tightly knitted and he said nothing.

"What's wrong? What did Xue'er say in the letter?" Jiang observed Song Dalang's expression, and the joy of getting the silver was instantly halved. She slapped Song Dalang on the shoulder: "You dead child, are you trying to make me anxious to death?!"

Song Dalang looked around and saw no one, so he leaned into Jiang's ear and said: "My cousin asked us to do it to Su Wan, so that she can't leave Xinghua Village. After the matter is done, find me an official position."

"Let you be an official?" Jiang was excited. If Song Dalang was an official, she would be an official old lady! Not to mention breaking Su Wan's legs and making her unable to leave Xinghua Village, even if Su Wan was killed, Jiang could do it! "Let's go back and discuss it!"

Song Dalang held Jiang's hand, his eyes flashing: "Mother, my cousin's stepfather was poisoned, and the prince posted a notice to find a miracle doctor. Didn't our town have a miracle doctor not long ago? He is in Xinglin Clinic! Diseases that other doctors can't cure are cured by him. Let's write a letter to tell my cousin about this?"

Jiang's eyes rolled around, and she pinched the twenty taels of silver in her sleeves and urged: "Write a letter quickly."

If the miracle doctor really has the ability to cure, Su Mixue will pay them!

Song Dalang went to the bookstore to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter to the capital.

Su Wan didn't know what Jiang's mother and son did. She was the chef at Zuixianglou, busy for an hour and a half, and was sweating profusely. She dragged her tired body out of the restaurant and took a look at Fengweilou opposite. The business dropped by two-thirds.

Shopkeeper Fang stood at the door and saw Su Wan leaving Zui Xiang Lou. He was about to stop her and negotiate terms to bring her to Feng Wei Lou.

A horse galloped over and suddenly stopped beside Su Wan.

"Whoa——"

The reddish-brown horse neighed and snorted.

Su Wan dodged to the side and looked up to see Zhao Wei sitting on the horse. His eyes were dark, his jawline was cold, and he was dressed in a black suit, which made him look heroic.

"Mr. Zhao." Su Wan raised the corner of his mouth and greeted him.

Zhao Wei turned over and got off the horse, saying in a low voice: "Miss Su, are you free now?"

"Something?"

"Yes!" Zhao Wei's deep eyes fell on her fair face and asked: "Can you ride a horse?"

"Yes..." Before Su Wan finished speaking, she was thrown onto the horse's back by Zhao Wei. She was so scared that she grabbed the reins: "Zhao Wei, what are you doing?"

Zhao Wei curled his lips, patted the horse's butt, and the horse turned in a direction and galloped away.
