Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu went to the Meng residence early in the morning and found Zhao Xi to ask him for medicine.
Zhao Xi gave her a porcelain bottle. “Here. It’s filled with powder. Whether in water or food, it’s colorless and odorless. Ordinary people can’t tell.”
Shu Yu poured out a little and took a look. She asked casually, “What about a doctor? Can they tell?”
“Someone as capable as I can tell, but ordinary doctors can’t.” After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he paused and added) “At present, there is no doctor in the entire Jiangyuan County who has such ability.”
His expression was a little proud. “Don’t use too much at one go. One teaspoon is probably enough.”
Shu Yu understood and put away the porcelain bottle. “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. This is a small matter.”
Shu Yu got the medicine and was ready to take action.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Meng Yunzheng standing in front of her with a frown.
Shu Yu was stunned. “What’s wrong? Do you need anything else, Young Master Meng?”
“You really don’t need my help?” Meng Yunzheng asked again with a serious expression.
Shu Yu rarely saw him .
She was stunned for a moment and slowly shook her head.
Meng Yunzhengs brows furrowed even more tightly. He took a deep breath and said, “But you told us the whereabouts of the dean of Dongqing Temple. Now that you’re in trouble, if we don’t help you, we’ll feel bad. You… Do you understand?”
Meanwhile, Zhao Xi didn’t understand. Didn’t he already help Shu Yu? He had made such a big bottle of medicine for her.
Shu Yu nodded. “Yes, I understand.”
Kind-hearted people were always unwilling to owe others favors.
Shu Yu thought of herself that way too.
Just as Shu Yu didn’t bother being humble about her self-evaluation, she responded, “Since you feel bad, then help me with something.”
Meng Yunzheng’s skills were better than hers. With his help, Shu Yu was happy and relaxed.
As soon as Shu Yu finished speaking, Meng Yunzheng’s expression instantly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.
Then, Meng Yunzheng remembered that she didn’t like his smile, so he suppressed it and asked, “What favor? Tell me.”
‘Give me a pen and paper. I want to write something.”
Meng Yunzheng turned around and went back to his room without saying anything. After a while, he brought out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Shu Yu took a look and smiled. “I want the usual kind of paper. As for the pen, charcoal will do. This way, it won’t be easy to be recognized.”
Meng Yunzheng’s brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were obviously good stuff.
Meng Yunzheng understood and found her some ordinary, coarse paper and a charcoal pencil.
Shu Yu leaned on the table and wrote a line of words. Then, she ran to the courtyard and looked around. When Shu Yu saw a bamboo, her eyes lit up slightly. Shu Yu ran over and picked the bamboo up and cut the front end of the bamboo into a sharp point.
Shu Yu then folded the note in two, inserted it into the bamboo, and handed it to Meng Yunzheng.
“You can shoot arrows, right? But it doesn’t matter even if you don’t. Take this bamboo and throw it into the courtyard of the Jiang family’s eldest son, Jiang Ren. Of course, pick when there are many people around and leave immediately after throwing it.”
Meng Yunzheng took the bamboo and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had personally seen Shu Yu write the sentence on the note.
When Meng Yunzheng heard Shu Yu’s words and remembered the bottle of medicine Shu Yu asked Zhao Xi to make, he put two and two together and could roughly guess Shu Yu i s plan.
Meng Yunzheng smiled and was eager to attempt the mission. “All right, when do I take action?
