Yang Ruxin went out and dragged Hao Jian into the room.
Not sure what Peng Mingzi said to him, but after about five minutes, Hao Jian ca out. Although he looked a bit upset, it didn’t seem too serious.
"Have you figured it out?" Yang Ruxin looked at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian nodded, "Don’t worry, sis, I can handle it."
"That’s good." Yang Ruxin nodded.
"I’ll head back and find brother-in-law first. Brother-in-law is so handso; it’s not safe to leave him alone at the inn..."
"It’s not safe for your brother-in-law if you go," Yang Ruxin gave Hao Jian a look, "Alright, go do what you need to do and stop bothering ."
After Hao Jian left, Peng Mingzi also ca out of the private room: "Madam, Longfeng Embroidery Store is gone, but Jinxiu Embroidery Store recently got lots of good fabrics, shall we go take a look?"
"Sure." Yang Ruxin nodded, "But you don’t need to call madam, this isn’t the court."
"Xinxin..."
The two of them left the teahouse together and walked towards Jinxiu Embroidery Store.
Jinxiu Embroidery Store had always catered to the common folks. Previously, the high-end market had Longfeng Embroidery Store, but since Longfeng Embroidery Store disappeared, Jinxiu Embroidery Store started to rise slowly.
Now it not only offers items for common people but also high-end embroidered goods and fabrics.
However, just after leaving the teahouse and walking a bit, they saw a commotion ahead.
"What’s going on?" Peng Mingzi frowned, "Let’s take another route."
Yang Ruxin didn’t refuse. Sotis, a commotion isn’t worth watching, and it’s better to avoid trouble.
"Isn’t that the Leng Family Pharmacy?" Peng Mingzi’s maid, Liao Cen, remarked, "Seems there’s trouble again."
"Leng Family Pharmacy?" Yang Ruxin beca interested, "Does this happen often?"
"Many of the drugs there are fake. Soone died from them last month, but there’s no evidence. And it seems the Leng Family has connections with the magistrate, so nothing ever cos of it..." Liao Cen pouted.
"The magistrate Li Tongzhi of Linjiang?" Yang Ruxin slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Peng Mingzi nodded, "Magistrate Li took a concubine nad Sun Shanshan last year. She’s Leng Haotian’s sworn sister."
Yang Ruxin’s eyes flickered: "Then let’s go check out the commotion."
Peng Mingzi was a bit surprised.
Yang Ruxin didn’t explain and turned towards Leng Family Pharmacy. Her interest in the Leng Family stemd from the fact that Li Yi’s wife, Li Lengshi, whose maiden na was Leng Cuicui, was originally the eldest daughter of this Leng Family Pharmacy. Li Yi had apprenticed under Leng Cuicui’s father, the previous head, Leng Haoming, and worked his way up to beco an assistant doctor. Li Yi and Leng Cuicui fell in love over ti and eventually got married.
But after Leng Haoming passed away, his brother, Leng Haotian, seized the pharmacy and drove his niece and her family out.
Li Yi, after drinking heavily with the old Dao Xuzi, once spoke of this incident. Even after all these years, it remained a regret in his heart because the pharmacy was his master and father-in-law’s life’s work. It had had such a good reputation before, but in recent years, it has been ruined by Leng Haotian. He felt he had let down his master.
Since today they encountered trouble at Leng Family Pharmacy, she couldn’t not take a look.
