Standing in place for a while, Lu Xiaoyao felt a little more comfortable, and then stepped again and went to the county office.

Lu Xiaoyao came and went to the county office, and almost all the guards at the gate knew her, so they didn't have a good idea, so they directly let Lu Xiaoyao in.

After entering the county office, a guard came over, preparing to take Lu Xiaoyao to the courtyard of the county commander, following behind the guard, Lu Xiaoyao asked loudly.

"Has the person who went to Linxian to buy medicinal herbs come back? Did you buy any herbs? ”

When the guard heard Lu Xiaoyao's words, he hurriedly turned around and looked at Lu Xiaoyao politely and replied, "Not yet, Master Liu has already sent someone to look for him again, and it is estimated that he will be back soon." ”

Not yet?

Lu Xiaoyao was a little surprised, according to her calculated time, she should have already returned? Why hasn't he come back yet? Lu Xiaoyao had a bad premonition in his heart.

"How long has it been since Master Liu sent the people?"

Lu Xiaoyao asked again, and the guards led the way in front, and when they heard Lu Xiaoyao's inquiry, they hurriedly replied.

"I sent someone last night." Lu Xiaoyao nodded, and didn't ask anything more.

Master Liu had also calculated the time before, and after the hour arrived last night, the people who went out to buy medicine had not returned, so Master Liu hurriedly sent someone to look for it.

It has been dawn for a long time, and it stands to reason that the people who went to look for it should also come back, but the two groups of people did not respond, which made Master Liu so anxious that he walked around the room of the county order, with an impatient face.

The second aunt took Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan to live in the county government, and Master Liu did not treat them badly, arranged guest rooms for them, and let people serve them.

Knowing that the person who went to buy the medicine had not returned, Lu Xiaoyao asked the officers and soldiers to take her directly to find the second aunt, and came to the place where the second aunt and Zhao Cong lived, and the three of them were eating breakfast in the hall.

Master Liu really didn't treat them badly, the breakfast he made was some sumptuous dishes, Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan stayed in the county government for a night, and saw that Master Liu really didn't hurt them, and gradually became bolder, when Lu Xiaoyao came, the two of them were eating with their mouths full of oil.

"You two haven't eaten." Lu Xiaoyao stepped into the hall and saw the bulging cheeks of the two, and said with some amusement.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao coming, Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan suddenly had joy on their faces, and hurriedly got up from their positions and greeted Lu Xiaoyao.

"Sister-in-law, you're here, let's eat, have you eaten?"

Zhao Cong asked, then left his seat and ran to move a chair for Lu Xiaoyao, while Zhao Lan prepared dishes and chopsticks for Lu Xiaoyao, and the two were so happy.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao coming, the second aunt also showed a smile on her face, although Master Liu was very kind to them, but after all, he was still the one who put them in prison before, and the second aunt was still jealous in her heart.

Lu Xiaoyao is their relative, and the second aunt has always trusted her the most, so when she saw her at this time, a sincere smile appeared on her face.

On the way here before, Lu Xiaoyao felt dizzy and flustered, she guessed that it was because she was too tired and didn't eat, which caused her low blood sugar.

Smiled affectionately at Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan, Lu Xiaoyao sat down next to the second aunt, and saw that the second aunt was looking at him with a smile, Lu Xiaoyao also guessed that Master Liu did not embarrass them.

"It's so good, it's good, I was busy all night last night, and I didn't eat, so I'm so good to catch you to eat." Lu Xiaoyao smiled affectionately at the second aunt and spoke, and when the words fell, the second aunt's face showed distress.

The second aunt took the porridge brought by the maid, served one to Lu Xiaoyao, and handed it to Lu Xiaoyao before she spoke in distress.

"Although the matter is urgent, but you also have to eat well, it's not nice to say, now you are shouldering the lives of everyone in the county, Xiaoyao, you have to take good care of yourself, if you fall......"

The second aunt didn't continue, there was worry in her eyes, so that Lu Xiaoyao looked at it, and her heart was suddenly warm, and she raised her eyes and smiled at the second aunt, and Lu Xiaoyao spoke.

"Second aunt, I know, I must take good care of myself, and when this matter is over, you have to make up for me and my father-in-law."

When Zhao Guanlan was mentioned, Lu Xiaoyao's heart suddenly swelled with a trace of longing, he went to deal with the aftermath of the Zhao family, he still met yesterday afternoon, and until now, he has not come back, Lu Xiaoyao has some faint worries in addition to missing.

The second aunt naturally didn't know Lu Xiaoyao's psychology, and after listening to her coquettish words, the smile on her face deepened, and she sandwiched some dishes for Lu Xiaoyao, signaling her to eat first, and then slowly spoke.

"Speaking of which, our family hasn't eaten together for a while, and when this matter is over, the second aunt will definitely cook you a good meal, so that I can treat you."

Lu Xiaoyao was drinking porridge, and when she heard the words of the second aunt, she nodded hurriedly, and said vaguely, "It won't be long, it won't be long." ”

The medicine to prevent the spread of the plague has been studied, and after everyone drinks it, the condition will be controlled, and the medicine to treat the plague, although it has not been tested, but Lu Xiaoyao believes in herself.

Lu Xiaoyao has always been a confident person, otherwise, she didn't dare to promise Master Liu so much before, so she would open her mouth to her second aunt like this at this time.

Hearing Lu Xiaoyao say that it won't be long, the second aunt quickly understood that this plague should also be over.

A smile slowly appeared on her face, and the second aunt couldn't hold back the smile on her face and said, "It's good, it's good, I have to go back and prepare well and make you the most sumptuous meal." ”

The second aunt had a warm smile on her face, as if she had thought of the scene of their family sitting together and eating lively, thinking of this, the second aunt's heart became a little excited.

The joy of the second aunt also infected Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan, and the two of them also had joy on their faces, and the entire hall was filled with smiles.

Lu Xiaoyao was indeed hungry, drank two bowls of porridge, and ate a lot of other dishes and buns, and then he felt that the whole person was refreshed.

"Comfortable." Lu Xiaoyao touched her stomach and spoke, which made the second aunt and the others laugh, but immediately after, the smile on the second aunt's face slowly stopped.

Master Liu was still outside when he heard the laughter coming from the hall, his face suddenly turned cold, and his whole body exuded the aura of being unapproachable.

Now that the life and death of the county magistrate and the people of the entire county are unknown, they can still laugh, thinking of this, Master Liu's face is even more ugly.

Lu Xiaoyao noticed the smile of the second aunt, turned his head and looked over, Master Liu was here, and the smile on Lu Xiaoyao's face also stopped abruptly.

"Master Liu, have you got the medicinal herbs back?"

When Lu Xiaoyao mentioned the medicinal herbs, Master Liu's anger eased a lot, and the worry on his face was undisguised.

"No, none of the people who sent them have returned." As soon as Master Liu's words fell, an anxious shout sounded at the door.
