The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1481 - 1565: Eighth Princess

Although Dong Huiying had never interacted directly with the Eighth Princess, she had assumed the alias ’Senior Master Huixin’ and temporarily resided in the Prince Meng’s Mansion in the past. During Prince Meng’s birthday, she had seen the Eighth Princess from afar. At that time, the princess left a deep impression on her, and she had specially paid attention to her. As a result, even though there was a significant distance between them now, she recognized the princess at a glance.

Dong Huiying was in a daze, thinking that before she was abducted by a scoundrel, she had heard in the capital that the Eighth Princess seemed to be traveling secretly to search for the Imperial Jade Seal. She didn’t expect that the princess would appear in Nanling City!

Dong Huiying slightly raised her head. The Eighth Princess and her entourage were being escorted out of a mansion. She looked at the plaque above the mansion and saw that it read two characters, Zhu Mansion!

Zhu Mansion?

After the Eighth Princess and her entourage had gone far, Dong Huiying took a handful of copper coins from her pocket, stopped a passerby, and placed the coins in the person’s hand: "Excuse me, I’m new here and I see that this mansion is very grand. I’m thinking of finding a job here. What do you know about the Zhu family?"

With a random excuse, she extracted some information about the Zhu family from the passerby. It was said that the Zhu family was considered a hundred-year-old family. Although Nanling was prosperous, and there were Four Great Aristocratic Families above them, it had not blocked the Zhu family’s financial path.

Dong Huiying slightly squinted her eyes, Four Great Aristocratic Families?

Within these Four Great Aristocratic Families in Nanling, there was one named the Lian family. She remembered that in the capital, there was an ancient tribe also with the surname Lian. This Lian family was controlled by Great Elder Yun Zhe of Medicine Valley, who was at odds with Yun Ge, and Yun Zhe was the father of the so-called Poison Doctor Yun Shuihan!

She wondered if there was any connection between the two? Was it a coincidence that both families had the surname Lian, or was there some unspeakable link between the Lian family in Nanling and the Ancient Tribe Lian family? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

When Dong Huiying returned from outside, she heard that the shameless chef who had usurped the Food As Heaven recipe was named Zhu De and was a member of the Zhu family.

She was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask further: "Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Yang, when did this happen? When did that Zhu De take interest in our business?"

Sister Yang thought carefully, "All in all, it was about a month ago."

Dong Huiying pondered again in her heart.

A month?

She recalled seeing the Eighth Princess exiting the Zhu family. Judging by the dates, the Eighth Princess and her entourage should have arrived in Nanling a month ago.

The Zhu family had been keeping a low profile before. Huizi Store had been a large, eye-catching business for quite some time, but previously the Zhu family did not dare to target Huizi Store. It was only after the arrival of the Eighth Princess in Nanling that they acted.

Huizi Store was not easy to deal with. The other party knew this yet proceeded, indicating there was support behind them! And this backing was very likely the Eighth Princess. It was this connection with the Eighth Princess that made the Zhu family believe they found a support!

With a chilling glint in her eyes but a silly expression on her face, she said, "I just took a stroll around the city and saw some noble figures coming out of the Zhu family. That Zhu family’s mansion is indeed beautiful, with high eaves and impressive red doors."

"Noble figures?" Sister Yang didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, she remembered something else: "Speaking of noble figures, I do recall that a group of noble guests indeed came to the Zhu family. Not long ago, someone offended one of these noble guests, and the guard accompanying the guest immediately executed the person, spraying blood more than three meters high, absolutely ruthless and overbearing!"

"Oh, is that so?"

"Exactly, that group certainly has a powerful background. They killed someone on the street, but instead of being stopped afterwards, they even personally visited to apologize for their lack of control, which is truly astonishing."
