Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Want Wei Ruo to Help With Money_1

Nurse Li left for the provincial city that afternoon, carrying out Wei Qingwan’s orders.

She hurried on her journey, and by the morning of the third day, she was back to report to Wei Qingwan.

“Miss, everything the old lady said is true,” she said. “Tongde Hall really does sell scar removal ointment, and it does cost a sky-high price of one hundred taels per box. Furthermore, I heard that this divine medicine is well-known in the provincial city, and it has healed many people’s scars.”

Having received a positive response, Wei Qingwan’s face was dim and unreadable, as if she couldn’t tell whether the news was good or bad.

Nurse Li made a suggestion for Wei Qingwan: “Miss, why not seek help from the family? You are to be a queen in the future and the scars on your back might affect your favor status. Your favor status is closely related to the honor of the family, and the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence cannot ignore this.”

Wei Qingwan frowned and thought over Nurse Li’s words carefully: “You are right. After all, this scar was given to me by this family.”

“Exactly!” Nurse Li nodded in great agreement.

“Let me think about it deeply,” Wei Qingwan said.

Tingsong Garden.

“Miss, there’s news from Tongde Hall. The Second Miss really has sent someone to inquire,” Xiumei said with a smile.

In these two days, she had encountered the people of Wangmei Garden quite a lot, and their arrogance and bullying were obvious.

They kept referring to the future queen, as if the second miss was being made the main consort.

“Well, if she can pay, I’ll sell it to her. I’m not going to quibble over money. If she can’t pay, then she’ll just have to suffer in misery,” said Wei Ruo.

Xiumei grinned as she agreed: “Miss, you are right. It all depends on whether the Second Miss can raise the money. With so many wounds on her back, she must need at least a dozen boxes. That’s more than a thousand taels of silver!”

The old lady from Stone Village claimed that you would only need three boxes for a scar to disappear completely. But that was for her grandson who had a small scar, for Wei Qingwan, it was something different.

“I run my business honestly, I’ll sell as much as she can pay for. If she can’t afford it, it’s not my problem,” Wei Ruo responded with a nod.

“Right, Miss is always the most fair in business!” Xiumei agreed, “Speaking of which, Miss Xie is really amazing. She has actually opened a herb shop – two of them, one in the provincial city and one in the Capital City.”

Tongde Hall was the Xie Family’s shop located in the provincial city. Wei Ruo and Xie Ying had been cooperating in managing the medicinal lands, thus she not only knew about it but also had connections with Tongde Hall.

“She’s not all talk. She practices what she preaches. And her mother fully supports her in doing this, which is more effective.” Wei Ruo commented.

“That sounds great. I wonder when we can see Miss Xie and Mr. Xie again,” Xiumei said.

“There will be an opportunity.” Wei Ruo assured her.

As Wei Ruo was talking with Xiumei, Cuiping came in.

“Miss, Madam wants to see you. She has some matters to discuss with you.”

Hearing this, Wei Ruo knew this wouldn’t be anything good.

Every time Madam Yun wanted to discuss something with her, it usually ended up in a dispute.

“I know,” Wei Ruo replied.

Taking Cuiping with her, Wei Ruo headed over to Cangyun Garden after tidying herself up.

In the room, Madam Yun was sitting straight across from the door, with Wei Qingwan close beside her.

“What does mother want from me?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Sit down first. I have something I need to discuss with you.” Madam Yun surprisingly showed some patience and her face even held a hint of kindness.

Wei Ruo did as instructed.
