A quarter of an hour later, Hongluan and Su Xiaoxiao came out from the forest one after another.

Hongluan presented the thing that she found to Jing Yi with both hands and said, “Please have a look at it, Young Marquis.” 

Jing Yi opened the handkerchief and looked at it, “Cake?” 

-Wife’s cakes / Lao Po Ping (老婆饼)

“Yes.” Hongluan said, “I only found this.” 

Jing Yi looked coldly at the two black-clothed guards on the side.

The two of them panicked! 

The square faced guard said, “Young Marquis, this subordinate really saw it! It’s indeed what we’ve been looking for!” 

“What about you?” Jing Yi asked the other person. 

The other person recalled it carefully and said, “I also think It looked similar.” 

Hongluan became unhappy and said, “What do you mean? Do you suspect that I didn’t search her thoroughly, or do you suspect that I am shielding her?” 

Hongluan was a secret guard* who excels in qinggong skills and concealment, and her vigilance and attentiveness were unparalleled among ordinary experts.

*secret guard : is usually trained secretly, responsible for the safety of the master, and performing tasks such as assassination, protection, surveillance, etc. They are generally selected from orphans or children in families with specific allegiances and guardianship who are raised from an early age, and loyalty is guaranteed first. The training is cruel and hard, with the probability of one in a thousand or one in a hundred. 

-Qinggong : is a training technique for jumping off vertical surfaces from the Chinese martial art Baguazhang. The use of qinggong has been exaggerated in wuxia fiction, in which martial artists have the ability to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed, and perform gravity-defying moves such as gliding on water surfaces, scaling high walls and mounting trees. 

She didn’t care what these two guys saw. In any case, she had searched inside and out, and there really wasn’t anything suspicious on that little village girl.

Jing Yi broke the cake apart.

It was just a cake, and there was nothing hidden inside of it. 

The square-faced guard was puzzled and said, “I did see her put it into her bosom……” 

Hongluan said lightly, “Maybe you’re mistaken, it’s just a cake.” 

The square faced guard opened his mouth and said, “I……” 

Hongluan snorted coldly, “If you don’t believe me, you can go search her again by yourself!” 

Hongluan was not speaking for Su Xiaoxiao, but she firmly believed in her search methods and it was impossible to miss any blind spots. 

Jing Yi also believed in Hongluan’s abilities. If there was really something on Miss Su’s body, then it would be impossible for Hongluan to not find it. 

As for shielding Miss Su, that was even more impossible.

Jing Yi waited in place until Su Xiaoxiao got dressed and came out, then he apologized to her personally.

Su Xiaoxiao said angrily, “I thought we were friends, but you didn’t trust me at all. Thinking about it, it’s not surprising either. After all, you’re the Young Marquis, and I’m just a little village girl. It’s me who has high hopes! Then farewell, we’ll meet again if there’s fate!” 

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao left without looking back.

Jing Yi hesitated to speak, and he looked at the broken cake in his hand. He pinched a brocade pouch in his left palm that he had not been able to send out in time, and his expression darkened.

——

Su Xiaoxiao kept walking all the way back home, making sure that she was out of sight of Jing Yi and the others. Only then did her tense body finally loosen up. 

She let out a long breath.

It was too thrilling. At Jing Yi’s age, he would only be a high school student in her previous life. She didn’t expect that he would be so calm and meticulous.

She naturally wasn’t really angry with Jing Yi, but if she wasn’t that angry, then she would appear suspicious.

She thought that she would be completely exposed this time, but who would know that the pharmacy would appear at the critical moment. 

Even though it was only an instant, it was enough for her to put the token in.

From Hongluan’s point of view, she only clutched her chest and felt dizzy for a moment. 

Hongluan asked her what was wrong.

She said to Hongluan, “I didn’t have breakfast and went to the town for a medical visit. So I almost fainted because I was starving! It was not easy for me to bring a cake, but you guys treated it as stolen goods!” 

Successfully crossing the sea by a trick*. 

*to cross the sea by a trick (idiom) : to achieve one’s aim by underhanded means / use deceit to act in secret. 

  ……

This problem has passed. 

The pharmacy deserved a lot of credit. 

Speaking of it, she had been to the pharmacy a total of four times.

The first time was to heal Wei Ting’s wounds, the second time was to cure Young Master Xiang’s lung disease. She also incidentally took a bottle of Bone strengthening granules for Father Su. And the third time was to rescue Aunt Fu. 

-Bone-strengthening granules / Zhuanggu Keli

The fourth time was just now.

Could it be.….. the triggering conditions for pharmacies were various emergency situations? What was the standard to judge it?
