Xie Yunjin nodded in agreement after he listened to Lu Jiao’s words. “You’re absolutely right.”

Lu Jiao didn’t continue on that topic but talked about something else instead. “Tomorrow, I’m going to Baohe Tang to treat patients.”

During this period, she hadn’t visited Baohe Tang at all because of Xie Yunjin’s injury. Not going for so long was quite unreasonable.

Moreover, they didn’t know when the people behind the scene would make a move, and they couldn’t just stay in the house all the time.

At the dining table, Xie Yunjin immediately spoke up to stop her.

“It’s better not to go out these days. Let’s wait a few more days.”

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow and said, “I previously told Owner Zhao from Baohe Tang that I would be there for consultations every fifth and tenth day. But because of your injury, I haven’t been able to go. It’s quite unreasonable, and we also don’t know when those people will take action against us.”

Actually, Lu Jiao wasn’t worried about being targeted by enemies. She had a life-saving trick up her sleeve, so even if she fell into their hands, she could protect herself.

However, Xie Yunjin wasn’t aware of the details, so he persistently said, “Let’s wait a few more days. Once we find the evidence of bribery against Yand and Peng, the businessmen in Qinghe won’t easily make a move.”

Currently, they were taking action to preserve this network of relationships, but once Yang and Peng were captured, the merchants in Qinghe wouldn’t dare to act recklessly to avoid their own misfortune.

After Lu Jiao heard Xie Yunjin’s words, she thought for a moment and found his reasoning to be valid. However, it wouldn’t be easy to easily find evidence of bribery against Yang and Peng.

Luo Xinwu had already alerted them, so Yang and Peng must be extremely cautious right now. It would be difficult to find any hidden gold or silver. If they couldn’t find the evidence of their crimes, would they just stay indoors forever?

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin with shimmering eyes and said, “If they are not guilty, then let’s create a crime for them to commit.”

After speaking, Lu Jiao felt that her idea was quite good.

“Those people want to catch us, right? Let’s turn the tables on them and investigate who these people are. Even if they aren’t instigated by Yang and Peng, we can plant someone among the captured individuals and have them claim that Yang and Peng ordered them to commit murder. This way, we can legally capture Yang and Peng. Then, we can search the Yang and Peng residences with our people. I don’t believe we won’t generate a single lead with regards to their bribery money.”

Lu Jiao’s train of thought became smoother as she thought about it. After finishing her explanation, she looked at Xie Yunjin happily and asked, “Do you think my method is feasible?”

Xie Yunjin’s mind was slightly moved upon hearing Lu Jiao’s words. Lu Jiao’s method was indeed a good one, but he disagreed with her risking herself to lure those bad people.

“It’s not a good idea. Alright, I will handle this matter. You just stay at home peacefully. In three to five days at most, I will definitely capture Yang and Peng. Then, you can go wherever you want. I promise not to say a word.”

Lu Jiao reminded Xie Yunjin unhappily, “When I go to Baohe Tang, I’m disguised as a man. The people behind this can’t possibly know that I am Lu Jiao, alright?”

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow, “It’s better to be safe than sorry. What if they somehow find out who you are? I suspect that there are people watching our house right now. Whenever someone from our family goes out, there will be someone following us.”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jiao realized that this was indeed possible and fell silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere between their parents was a bit off, the four little ones immediately gathered around Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao to amuse them.

“Daddy, do you know how much math we learned today? We learned all the numbers up to one hundred!”

“Daddy, do you want us to teach you? We can!”

Xie Yunjin immediately became interested and said, “Sure, teach me.”

The First and Fourth Born ran to Lu Jiao’s side and pulled on her affectionately.

“Mommy, don’t you want to stay at home with us instead of going to Baohe Tang?”

“Our mommy is the best. She’s the best mommy in the world, and she would never want to see her own sons sad or upset, right?”

Lu Jiao looked at the playful Fourth Born speechlessly and said, “Son, you’re wrong. I’m the kind of mom who is most willing to see her sons sad or upset.”

The Fourth Born stubbornly swung around Lu Jiao’s arm, “Mommy, just

promise us to stay at home and teach us. Mommy, you’re really good at

teaching math. I want to keep learning.”

teaching math. I want to keep learning.”

At the same time, the Second Born reminded Lu Jiao with a hint of grievance, “Mommy, you said before that you would write a story about a great general for me to perform, but you haven’t written it yet.”

When Lu Jiao heard the Second Born’s words, she felt a little guilty. Due to recent events, she had been teaching the children various precautions and how to deal with bad people, and she had forgotten about the Second Born’s desire to play the role of a great general.

Now that the Second Born had brought it up, Lu Jiao immediately promised, “I promise, I’ll write a story about a great general for you.”

The Second Born quickly asked, “Does that mean you won’t go out tomorrow?”

Lu Jiao helplessly said with a headache, “I won’t go out. I really have no way to deal with you.”

The four children immediately cheered, then all four of them glanced at their father sideways.

How about that? Aren’t we amazing? As soon as we take action, Mommy won’t go out anymore. Daddy’s words are useless. So, everything still depends on us.

Xie Yunjin felt a touch of melancholy in his heart. It seemed that his position in Lu Jiao’s heart couldn’t compare to the four children at all.

No, perhaps not even a little bit. When would he be able to surpass his four sons?

Since Lu Jiao had promised the four children not to go to Baohe Tang, she had no intention of going there to treat patients.

However, she didn’t expect that the next day, Zhao Lingfeng would personally come to pick her up.

“Do you not know how popular you are at Baohe Tang now? Many people are specifically requesting you to treat them by name. By the way, merchant Liu’s athlete’s foot doesn’t itch anymore. He goes to Baohe Tang every day looking for you, wanting to give you a plaque.”

Lu Jiao said speechlessly, “Just to treat his athlete’s foot, is it necessary? No need for a plaque. You should tell him that.”

Zhao Lingfeng helplessly said, “I did tell him, but he ignored me. Because his athlete’s foot was cured, and news about you assisting General Wang has somehow leaked out. Now, many people know that Baohe Tang has a miraculous doctor, and they come every day to seek treatment from you.

I didn’t plan to find you at this time, but with so many people coming and sitting in the clinic, causing a disturbance, I couldn’t stand it. So, I had to come and pick you up today. Don’t worry, I’ll personally escort you and guarantee that nothing will happen.”

Since Zhao Lingfeng had already said this much, Lu Jiao couldn’t say anything. After all, she was a shareholder of Baohe Tang and there were patients waiting for her. How could she not go?

“Alright, I’ll go.”

This time, Xie Yunjin didn’t stop Lu Jiao.. If someone came to pick her up, what could he do?
