Although the Captain of the Guards was puzzled, for the sake of his infected brothers, he said something to the two guards and instructed his men to enter the village to report it.

They wanted the prescription no matter who sent it to them.

…

“Someone sent a prescription for the epidemic?”

Shen Yan and Qi Gu were shocked when they received the news.

“Who is it? Is it a young woman?” Er Ning asked immediately.

Young Master must be here! We didn’t wait in vain. She’s really here! We made a mistake by going to the military camp!

“There are two men, Chief Er. They claim to have received orders from their young master to deliver the prescription,” the subordinate replied.

Shen Yan and the chiefs exchanged disappointed glances.

It seems like we guessed wrong. The Young Master didn’t come. She only sent two subordinates to deliver the prescription. She doesn’t seem to want to appear in front of us again for a while, does she?

Shen Yan looked at Qi Ye and instructed, “It’s fine. Ah Ye, you’re the Young Master of the 11th Village. You’ll personally invite them here.”

They had to take the men seriously because their Young Master had sent them. However, it did not make sense for the chiefs to personally invite them in. It was appropriate for Qi Ye to go because he was the Young Master of the 11th Village.

“Yes, Uncle Shen,” Qi Ye replied and left with the subordinate.

“Father, should I go over and take a look too?”

Shen Zhuxin was anxious to see the prescription and wanted to go with Qi Ye, so she suggested it.

However, Shen Yan did not agree to her request and shook his head.

“Just wait here.”

The men had come to deliver the prescription on Young Master’s orders. It was inappropriate for them to give it to a young woman. It should be personally delivered to the elders.

How would Shen Zhuxin return if they sent her? Besides, the 18 Stockaded Villages never sent women to welcome their guests.

“But…”

“Zhuxin, even if you go, you won’t be able to see the prescription. Wait a little longer,” Er Ning said when he saw that Shen Zhuxin still wanted to speak.

“Well…” Shen Zhuxin paused and realized she had been too anxious.

That’s right. What’s the use if I go? They may judge the 18 Stockaded Villages based on this!

She lowered her head and said softly, “Uncle Er is right. I’m too anxious.”

…

After a while, Qi Ye brought the two men here.

Shen Yan, Qi Gu, and the others were waiting for them in the guest hall with tea and snacks prepared.

Both parties bowed. One of the men in purple took out the prescription and handed it to Shen Yan respectfully.

Although it was just a piece of paper, it felt like a ton and weighed heavily on his hand.

However, even though his hands felt heavy, he heaved a sigh of relief. He would no longer have to worry about Prince Lei Ting.

Instead, Prince Lei Ting should brace himself for retaliation from the 18 Stockaded Villages for daring to threaten them!

After all, they were Prince An Yang’s men. Even the current emperor did not dare to provoke them.

A mere Prince Lei Ting would not be able to subdue them and make them his.

“Brothers, may I ask if the Young Master is well?”
