“Born without sighting mankind, die without viewing the body.” Wei Mingting frowned deeply.
“What should we do now?” Mrs. Yun asked worriedly, highly concerned that her husband would be implicated.
The Imperial Court is already aware of this matter and has sent a high-ranking minister to handle it. His dual task is to locate the seventh prince and to investigate the assassin,” Wei Mingting replied.
But what if they still can’t find anything…” Mrs. Yun didn’t dare to contemplate.
“Madam, stop worrying. The situation has come to this point, and we can only do what we can and leave the rest to fate. If we are really implicated, I have nothing to say.”
Despite his fatigue, Wei Mingting managed to think calmly.
“I understand.” Mrs. Yun still couldn’t put her mind at ease. However, she reined in her worry in front of her husband, appearing considerate and understanding to lessen his concern.
“Hmm, you’ve been working hard recently. With the approach of the new year there are more things to handle yet, and the kids also need your care,” said Wei Mingting.
“My Lord, don’t worry. Everything at home is under control. You should rest early today,” Mrs. Yun responded.
Mrs. Yun knew that Wei Mingting had matters to address very early the next day, so she tended to Wei Mingting to retire and rest for the night.

Early the next morning, Wei Mingting rushed out of the house.
In the following few days, the Colonel’s mansion remained relatively peaceful.
The relationship between Wei Ruo and Mrs. Yun was still cold. Wei Ruo turned a blind eye to Mrs. Yun’s discontent.
During dinner, Mrs. Yun kept her face cold, and Wei Ruo did not utter a single word, just focusing on eating.
Not only that, with the very real examples of Old Master Xiu and the old Madam of the Yuan Family’s third branch, many people learned about Wei Ruo’s loquat syrup.
Recent weather was exceptionally cold, and many people caught colds. Among those who displayed coughing symptoms, especially the elderly, were not in the minority.
Therefore, they also came to Wei Ruo to purchase her loquat syrup, which she continued to sell at ten taels of silver per jar.
Having sold a jar to Old Lady Xiu for ten taels of silver, she couldn’t possibly sell to others at a different price. She either wouldn’t sell or would sell it for ten taels of silver per jar.
Mrs. Yun knew about this. The customers would often meet Mrs. Yun before they met Wei Ruo since they came specifically to find Wei Ruo to buy her product.
Mrs. Yun was upset, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t drive away those who came with smiling faces. She could only watch, with wide open eyes, as her precious eldest daughter was trading goods just like a merchant.
But Mrs. Yun was somewhat misguided in her worries; those in the Government City that bought Wei Ruo’s loquat syrup, and even those that didn’t, held no contempt for Wei Ruo.
Firstly, Wei Ruo was initially giving it out as gifts. The initial batches given to the old Madam of the Yuan Family’s third branch and the Old Lady of the Xiu family were all gifts. Later on, the Old Lady Xiu forcefully paid money for them, hoping to maintain a long-term supply from Wei Ruo. This was something that Old Lady Xiu had openly admitted to others.
Secondly, what Wei Ruo was selling was medicine that can cure illnesses Though merchants might be looked down upon, doctors would never be Great medicinal prescriptions and drugs are not just ordinary commodities.
However, Mrs. Yun didn’t know about this. Even those who came to buy medicine from Wei Ruo were full of smiles, complimenting Wei Ruo’s capabilities; Mrs. Yun was still deeply unsatisfied with her eldest daughter’s actions.
Wei Ruo didn’t concern herself with this and not only continued to sell her loquat syrup, but still regularly went to the manor.
