Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Time passed second by second, and the figures on both sides arrived almost one after the other.

Yun Huaikang was sweating profusely as he ran, followed by constables from the county, including Gan Shuanzi. Their swords clattered loudly.

Zhen Linqing was intercepted by Yun Pianpian halfway and rushed over with Qu Leng and Manager Xue, their robes all askew.

As soon as Zhen Linqing arrived, without saying a word, he kicked the shopkeeper right in the chest.

With a "bang," the shopkeeper was kicked to the ground and rolled half a circle before stopping.

Zhen Linqing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, so sinister it could be wrung out of water: "I am the heir of the Ming Prince's Mansion. How come I didn't know that our manor also had a pharmacy business?"

His gaze was like a knife, fixed on the pharmacy owner: "You better explain yourself clearly, who exactly is behind you? Daring to swindle and deceive people outside under the banner of the Ming Prince's Mansion, I'll send you to jail and skin you alive!"

He was furious when he heard Yun Pianpian say that on the way.

Someone actually opened a pharmacy under the name of the Ming Prince's Mansion and sold fake medicine?

If the sale of counterfeit medicine were exposed, even members of the royal family would be implicated, let alone a non-royal family like theirs.

When the court is filled with impeachments and the emperor punishes them, who can bear the consequences?

The pharmacy owner was so frightened that he lost his mind. He never expected that he would run into the legitimate heir of his own royal family in this small county town.

He rolled over and got up, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly until blood seeped out.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Please listen to me, I really am the steward of the Ming Prince's residence!"

Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Zhen Linqing coldly glanced at Manager Xue beside her, "Xue Liang, is this person also from our household?"

Xue Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned closer, and whispered, "Your Highness, please calm down... This person is indeed from our household. However, he's not on our Princess's side. He's from Consort Zhu's family."

Zhen Linqing was stunned.

Consort Zhu.

His brows furrowed sharply, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Oh, since they are from our Ming Prince's Mansion, then we must give the people an explanation. Our Ming Prince's Mansion cannot let the people down."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and faced the constables that Yun Huaikang had brought: "My lords, it is my Ming Prince's Mansion that has failed in its duty of discipline, allowing such a person to commit crimes outside. Now this person is in your hands. Kill him or torture him as you see fit."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said to Qu Leng and Manager Xue in a deep voice, "Go, help the officials check every single package of counterfeit medicine in this pharmacy. Don't miss a single one."

"After the investigation is complete, report the whole story to Father King from beginning to end."

Let's see how we deal with that senile old man, Father.

Qu Leng and Manager Xue clasped their hands in greeting and accepted the order. They then turned around and plunged into the pharmacy, rummaging through the chests and cabinets. They pulled out the fake medicines one by one and spread them all over the floor.

The pharmacy owner slumped to the ground, his face drained of all color, his shoulders hunched, as if his spine had been removed.

Having dealt with the matter to this point, Yun Huaikang learned about the current situation of the Ming Prince's Mansion from his wife and had a better understanding of the situation.

He thought for a moment, then quietly pulled Zhen Linqing aside and whispered a few words to her.

Zhen Linqing's brows furrowed more and more, and he nodded after listening.

He took a deep breath, walked to Old Li's side, and bowed deeply.

"Hello, Elder Li. I am Zhen Linqing, the heir of the Ming Prince's Mansion. Although I was unaware of the matter concerning this shop beforehand, as the heir of the Ming Prince's Mansion, I cannot shirk my responsibility. I bear some responsibility for this matter, and I now apologize to Elder Li."

After speaking, he turned around and bowed deeply to the crowd of onlookers: "I am Zhen Linqing, the heir of the Ming Prince's Mansion. Uncles, aunts, and elders, it is because of our Ming Prince's Mansion's lax discipline that you have suffered. I apologize to you all here."

He straightened up and continued, "Anyone who has bought medicine from this pharmacy can get a full refund, as long as they have the receipt from the pharmacy!"

"If you don't get better after seeing a doctor here, you can go to another pharmacy to see a doctor again. Once you're cured, all medical expenses will be reimbursed by the Ming Prince's Mansion!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the crowd.

The people were so angry when they heard that this place was selling fake medicine that they stomped their feet and cursed the Ming Prince's Mansion for being heartless and rotten.

Now that the Crown Prince has personally stepped forward, not only without shirking responsibility but also offering to reimburse previous medical expenses and cover future medical costs, his honest attitude is so genuine that it's impossible to find fault with him.

"This young master is quite a nice person!"

"Exactly, he didn't do it, yet he's taking the blame."

"Much better than those cowards!"

Old Li stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

The young master of the Ming Prince's mansion may not look very old, but he is quite sensible.

He finally managed to put away his sour face and showed a slight smile.

"Young Master Ming is a sensible man. However, let me remind you, since your family can run this pharmacy, there are probably others elsewhere. I hope that Your Highness will rectify the situation at the other pharmacies as soon as possible, to prevent any more cases of counterfeit medicine. Otherwise—"

He glanced at Zhen Linqing, his tone not harsh, but carrying considerable weight: "I will report this to the imperial court."

Zhen Linqing immediately bowed deeply, saying, "Yes, Elder Li. I'll take care of this matter right away."

After he finished speaking, he straightened up, gave Yun Pianpian a deep look, and then quickly left with his entourage...

After the pharmacy was cleaned up, two intersecting seals were affixed to the door with a "snap".

The matter was settled, and everyone dispersed, but Gan Shuanzi didn't leave. Instead, he turned into Yun Huaikang's shop.

He pulled Yun Huaikang aside and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Huaikang, where did you hear about the vagrants committing crimes that you mentioned last time? I've been to the county government office several times these past few days, and no one has mentioned it."

Yun Huaikang was taken aback, then raised his hand and patted his head.

Oh no, he forgot about that.

Gan Shuanzi works in the county government, so he naturally knows a lot of things.

He thought for a moment, then lowered his voice, feigning profundity, and said, "Of course I have my own connections. But you're only nineteen, still young, so there are some things you naturally can't find out."

Although Gan Shuanzi was a little unconvinced, he knew that this made sense. He was still young and just a gofer in the government office. How could he possibly hear those confidential messages from above? So he left dejectedly.

Old Li handed Yun Shengsheng a book: "Shengsheng, memorize everything in this book."

Yun Shengsheng hugged the notebook and silently rolled her eyes.

"...No...no..."

Old Li raised an eyebrow: "What? The little girl still doesn't want to?"

Yun Shengsheng was speechless: "I...can't read!"

Old Li was taken aback. Oh, right. This little girl isn't even three years old yet, how could she recognize any characters? But how does she know about those medicinal herbs?

He stroked his beard, waved his hand dismissively, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing! I happen to know a great scholar who's been staying in this county town recently. I'll call him over tomorrow to teach my son how to write..."
