Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 628 Herbal Tea

Jiang Fubao said to Meng Zhili, Meng Bujiu and their family members.

She is no longer the little kid who opened a clinic at the age of nine.

Can stand on my own now.

"Okay, since you said so, then grandma will go back first to avoid delaying you. Remember to go back early in the evening. Grandma will cook for our Fubao tonight. What does Fubao want to eat? I'll ask your father to buy some vegetables later in case there's nothing left at home."

Zhang Jinlan raised her eyes and asked with a smile.

"Well, I like everything grandma cooks, but I still like meat the most. Just let me cook. Don't tire yourself out, and don't cook too much. It's hot, and the kitchen is extremely hot. Grandma, be careful not to get a heat stroke. Just cook one or two dishes, and let the maids cook the rest."

Jiang Fubao was worried that grandma was too tired and might get heatstroke, so she gave her instructions with a serious face.

Grandma has always loved her, if she didn't say that.

I’m afraid grandma will have to cook more than a dozen dishes.

That's really like a sauna.

In this weather, staying in the kitchen for a quarter of an hour would make you sweat like rain. My second sister, who is so young and in such good health, can't bear it. She has to come out from time to time to get some fresh air and drink some iced herbal tea.

Not to mention grandma.

In this world of short life span, Grandma’s age is about the same as seventy years old in modern times.

Asking a 70-year-old man to cook in a kitchen without air conditioning in the middle of summer is simply torture.

Jiang Fubao persuaded her several times before forcing Grandma to swear to heaven that she would only cook two dishes.

Afterwards, Zhang Yanzi and Jiang Siyin said a few words to each other and turned and left.

Jiang Fubao watched his family leave, then took Meng Zhili and Meng Bujiu to the backyard.

The expanded backyard was much more spacious. There was a round stone table under the tree, with the father and son sitting on each side.

Jiang Fubao personally poured them two cups of herbal tea.

The prescription was written by her herself, and it contained twelve kinds of medicinal ingredients.

My second sister cooked it early in the morning and hung it in the well.

It’s so refreshing to take a sip of it when it’s hot.

The father and son, who had been standing with Jiang Fubao for a long time, were so hot that they drank most of the drinks as soon as they sat down.

"Is this the herbal tea that Fubao mentioned? It tastes a bit strange, a bit bitter at first, but then sweet, with a refreshing sour taste in the mouth. It's not hard to drink. On the contrary, after drinking half a cup of it, the heat in my body seems to have completely disappeared."

Meng Bujiu nodded slightly and praised Jiang Fubao.

After saying that, he drank the rest of the herbal tea.

"Godfather is a bit busy, and your godmother happened to be unable to come because of something else. If Fubao needs anything, just send someone to the Dong family and inform the servants, and I will know. Your godfather is also very busy recently. A group of students will be taking the imperial examination soon. Your godfather is busy, and he asked me to tell you so that you don't blame him."

Meng Zhili didn't finish the rest. He didn't like bitter food. Although the herbal tea could relieve the heat, he couldn't stand the bitter taste.

Putting down the cup, he patiently explained to Jiang Fubao.

"Godfather, you are too polite. Of course I won't be polite. We are a family. I will tell you if I need anything. Don't worry. Besides, I won't blame you. When I am not busy, I will go to see you. I have been very busy these days. I am sure you miss me.

Today is just the opening day. It's okay if you don't come. I didn't expect you to come here specially to show your support. Hehe, with you guys backing me up, who dares to bully me, unless he is blind and deliberately looking for trouble! But I have Erya and Shitou by my side. They have practiced martial arts, and ordinary people can't get close to me. Don't worry, godfather."

The presence of the county magistrate and the prefect clearly tells the people that Jiang Fubao has the support of these two big trees, and no one dares to offend her or cause trouble.

If you want to touch her, first consider whether you are qualified.

Besides, she also has the words written by the emperor himself.

It's simply a life-saving talisman.

Jiang Fubao was deeply moved.

My godfather was promoted to prefect and is even busier than before.

After all, he was promoted, although it was because of her, but Jiang Fubao never asked for repayment. In her subconscious, Meng Zhili was her godfather, so they were a family!

Who would bother with these things with their family?

She volunteered to help her godfather get promoted.

"Okay, then godfather will go back first. Ruling Mansion cannot do without godfather. If I delay any longer, there might be trouble. Fubao, you have to be good. If someone bullies you, go find Bujiu. If he can't solve the problem, I will solve it."

Meng Zhili glared at his own son fiercely, his words full of threats.

Meng Bujiu was speechless.

Did he pick it up?

Besides, even if his biological father didn’t say it, he would protect Fubao.

Who did he go to so much trouble to transfer back here for?

"Brother Bujiu, you should go back too. I heard that someone was beating drums outside the county government office a few days ago. I'm afraid you were very busy. How did you resolve that matter?"

Jiang Fubao also has his own informants.

She basically knows all the major events that happened in the county.

"You know all this, little guy? It's true. A few days ago, a woman beat a drum to complain, saying that her mother-in-law and her husband had killed her daughter. But the people in that village all protected the mother and child. There were no witnesses, no physical evidence, and the body couldn't be found. I'm worried about how to judge this case."

Meng Zhili had already left.

Meng Bujiu, who was originally planning to leave, simply sat back and started chatting with Jiang Fubao.

Tired of standing, Jiang Fubao sat down in the seat where his godfather used to sit and listened to Meng Bujiu talk.

"Otherwise, how about torture?" Jiang Fubao suggested.

Few people can endure the torture in the county government. Even bandits can do that, let alone ordinary people. They would confess honestly after being whipped twice.

"Fubao, no, if you really want to use torture, according to the law, you should not only use it on the mother and son, but also on the woman. But you don't know, hey, the woman's appearance is really...

When I saw her that day, I found that she was as thin as a stick, with scars all over her body. If I tortured her again, I'm afraid she wouldn't live to see the next day. But if I didn't torture her, and only tortured the mother and son, there would definitely be rumors that she had confessed under torture..."

Meng Bujiu explained to Jiang Fubao slowly.

His cup was empty, so Jiang Fubao simply poured him another cup of herbal tea. As he spoke, he sipped the tea, and the sweat on Meng Bujiu's forehead stopped oozing out.

"I see. It seems like being an official isn't easy. Well, Brother Bujiu, how about this? Since there is no witness, can't we just create one?"

Jiang Fubao suddenly had an idea.

She raised her voice, but then suddenly lowered it and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh? Fubao, please tell me in detail." Meng Bujiu's eyes lit up, and his body leaned slightly towards Jiang Fubao.
