On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1784: Indulging in Confrontation

Li Erlang and his wife looked at each other.

Li Erlang said, "Princess, I think it was Liu who did it. When I saw the reward posted, I wanted to wait for the government to catch Liu and avenge my brother."

Zhao added, "Yes, we don't want the reward, and we don't want to use our brothers' lives to make money."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly it," Li Erlang nodded.

Yan Ruyu nodded: "You are kind and righteous, but you can just provide clues without asking for money."

Li Erlang: “…”

Yan Ruyu said again: "What do you know? Tell me."

"Princess, that woman Liu has always been vicious and loves to take advantage of others. When I married her, my parents did not agree. As a result... my poor brother died in her hands."

Li Erlang cried out in grief: "Princess, please make the decision for my brother."

Yan Ruyu glanced at Uncle Zhong, who frowned and couldn't help but retort.

"Erlang, what are you talking about? I wanted to bring Sanlang and my daughter together, but your family disagreed. You also said that my daughter's needlework was not good enough. Sanlang also met Liu at that time, and they fell in love with each other, so he rejected me. I know this."

"Sanlang was frank and explained everything to me. I didn't hold a grudge against him. Instead, I felt that he was a good person because he spoke clearly and honestly. So, after he married Liu, I was willing to interact with him."

"That Liu is also a good woman. Although she is the daughter of a butcher, she has a kind heart. How can she be vicious?"

"Every autumn, she helps my old wife make cotton-padded clothes for us two old people in advance."

Uncle Zhong became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and Mrs. Li took over and said, "Yes, I also think Liu is a good person."

The other neighbors nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Li snorted and glanced at Zhao: "There are some people who never get enough of taking advantage of others. When they get an advantage, they run away faster than anyone else. When they see someone who needs help, they also run away faster than anyone else and slip away without a trace."

Zhao blushed: "Who are you talking about?"

"I'm telling you, what kind of person are you? Don't you know what you are doing? Have you ever bought food? A couple has worked hard to grow a few acres of land, but you have the nerve to always borrow food from them? Have you ever paid it back?"

"It's fine if you don't pay it back, but when Sanlang was sick, Liu asked you to lend her some money for medicine, but you refused to lend it to her, crying poor. It's as if you were going to go out and beg for food the next moment."

"But the next moment you brag to others about how successful your two sons are and how much their military pay is. How shameless!"

Zhao's face turned pale and blue, and the others looked at them with contempt.

Zhao was a little embarrassed: "Mrs. Li, don't talk nonsense. We did borrow food from them, but we never said we wouldn't pay it back."

"Now that the person is dead, you don't have to pay it back. Who can say whether to pay it back or not?" Mrs. Li was blunt.

"you……"

Yan Ruyu watched them quarreling and was able to get some information from the quarrel.

The second brother and his wife are shrewd and manipulative, while the third brother and his wife are loyal and kind. The second brother has two sons, while the third brother has no children.

Yan Ruyu gave Song Ping a wink, and Song Ping immediately stepped forward.

After whispering a few words, Song Ping immediately went out.

These people in the hall were arguing so loudly that no one noticed.

Yan Ruyu supported her forehead with her hand, closed her eyes slightly, and listened quietly.

In just two quarters of an hour, Song Ping came in with someone.

The man was wearing a blue cloth robe, clean and tidy, and carrying a medicine box on his back.

"Princess, they've arrived."

Yan Ruyu opened her eyes and looked at the people Song Ping brought.

"Princess, this man is a doctor from Chunsheng Hall. I have made inquiries and found out that his wife was also a famous doctor in her past, specializing in treating women's illnesses. It was she who treated Liu who had not been able to get pregnant."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the doctor. The doctor obviously didn't expect that he would mention something that happened so long ago.

When Song Ping came to see him, he said he was going to treat the master of the mansion, but he didn't know that he was going to the Zhennan Palace. When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he had no choice but to come even if he didn't want to.

Yan Ruyu didn't ask him immediately, her eyes swept from him to Zhao and Li Erlang.

Yan Ruyu's eyes were cold and sharp, like a knife or a sword. Li Erlang and his wife were startled and became nervous in an instant.

"Anything you want to say?" she asked.

Zhao nudged Li Erlang with her elbow, and Li Erlang said, "This matter... is between them and their husband. I don't know about it."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly and asked the doctor, "They said they don't know. If this princess finds out anything, it will be your business. Come here."

"Princess!" The doctor's face changed slightly and he called out urgently.

Before he could speak, Zhao said quickly, "Princess, I remember that Liu was very distressed because she couldn't get pregnant. She even consulted a fortune teller, who said that she was destined to be childless."

"She took countless medicines, but nothing worked. She also consulted many fortune tellers, and they all gave the same answer. As she got older, she gave up the idea."

"Yes, yes," Li Erlang said quickly, "I also said that I have two sons, and when they grow old, I will take care of them and see them to the end of their lives. Now that Sanlang is gone, his funeral was also arranged by my son."

Zhao nodded repeatedly.

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Take care of them until the end of their lives. They are already old. How long has your son taken care of them and how much did it cost?"

"This……"

Mrs. Li snorted, "What are they spending money on? The couple relies on farming to earn a little money, and they often take advantage of them."

The neighbors nodded.

"No!" Zhao denied.

"No, show me the evidence of your retirement. I don't believe you didn't keep accounts."

The couple looked at each other, how could they produce any evidence?

Yan Ruyu added: "You can't produce evidence of retirement, but I have other evidence. Let me show you."

Song Ping glanced at the doctor, walked to Yan Ruyu, and took out a cloth bag from his arms.

"Princess, these are some prescriptions and records found in their home."

Yan Ruyu flipped it open and saw that the prescription and records were very old and had turned yellow, but they were still intact and the date on them was clearly remembered.

It's a notebook.

Yan Ruyu's expression gradually turned cold as she watched.

After examining him for a long time, he looked up at the doctor. The doctor's legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thump.

"What do you have to say?"

The doctor bowed his head to the ground and said, "Princess, I...I really don't know. These are all the mistakes made by my deceased wife. I just found out about it."

Yan Ruyu chuckled: "You don't know?"

She glanced at Zhao.

Zhao felt guilty and didn't dare to look up.

"It seems that torture is not an option," Yan Ruyu waved her hand, "Someone come."

Song Ping immediately stepped forward, grabbed the doctor and walked out.

"First, give him thirty military sticks. If he doesn't tell the truth, then continue."
