Chapter 56 Selling Medicine

  The old lady and Master Zhong were both gentle and kind, treating their subordinates extremely well. It was difficult to get a job in the Zhong mansion, but after hearing Xiao Yu's words, Hong'er looked at Zhen Shi with sparkling eyes.

  She was truly happy for Zhen Shiniang.

  Unexpectedly, Zhen Shi Niang calmly shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Zhong Tang, but there are too many trivial matters at home that I need to attend to." She didn't mind hiding her identity and living a life of dependence in the Zhong Tang estate, relying on others for food and clothing.

  What about Jian Wu and Jian Wen?

  Hong'er hastily and secretly pulled Xiang-er's sleeve, saying: "Zhong Tang Da Ren is a young and extraordinary talent, with a proud temperament. It's not easy to get his attention, why are you pushing him away?"

  Xiao Yu was also stunned.

  For Zhen Shiniang, he admired her from the bottom of his heart and made an exception to persuade her to stay, saying that she was specially for the old lady to see a doctor, but in fact, he wanted to use his own meager strength to prolong her life.

  As a doctor, he's become so ill, it's not that he can't be cured, but rather he has no money for the cure.

  With such a divine skill, his life was so short-lived, leaving him with an inexplicable sense of regret in his heart. He didn't expect that his good intentions would be rejected!

  Coming back to his senses, Xiao You smiled wryly and said, "......Well, I won't force it then. In the future, if you have any matters, feel free to look for me anytime, I'll do my best to help."

  This is exactly what she's been waiting for!

  Zhen Shi Niang hesitated for a moment, "I really have something I'd like to ask Minister Zhong for help with."

  As she spoke, Zhen Shining's face flushed slightly. It is said that kindness is not expected to be repaid, but she had just shown kindness and immediately demanded repayment in this life; Xiao Ye must think she was a petty person from the streets.

  She really didn't have time to hang out with him for a few more months before speaking up again.

  "Xiao Nang has something to say." Xiao Yu didn't think much of it, he liked that Zhen Shi Nang could ask him so frankly.

  "Hmm..." Zhen Shi Niang's gaze fell on Hong Er's medicine box, "I had some free time and prepared some medicinal pills. Can Master Zhong Tang help me recommend them to the Imperial Hospital?"

  If her pills can make a breakthrough in Tai Hospital, she can open a pharmaceutical factory.

  "Is that so?" Xiao Ye smiled brightly, "If Miss Jian doesn't mention it, I was just about to say it. Dr. Wen has been praising your divine skills nonstop and is eager to make friends with you from the bottom of his heart. I'll invite him over tomorrow, and Miss Jian can talk to him directly - he's more than willing." Seeing Zhen Shi Niang shake her head, he was taken aback, "Why doesn't Miss Jian want to see him?"

  "This...," Zhen Shi Niang said vaguely, "I am just a woman, secretly practicing medicine is already unconventional, how can I still come and go with the imperial physician?"

  If she really thinks it's scary, then she shouldn't be a doctor!

  Isn't this reason too far-fetched?

  Xiao You thought for a moment, then looked at Zhen Shi Niang and said, "......Alright, let Jian Niang write down the price, name, and efficacy of the medicine on a list. I'll send someone to deliver it to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow."

  "Thank you, Lord Zhongtang." Zhen Shiniang stood up and solemnly bowed to Xiao Yu, "I also ask Lord Zhongtang not to say that this medicine was made by my hand." She guaranteed again, "Lord Zhongtang can rest assured, these medicines are all of the highest quality. If you don't believe me, you can let the imperial physicians try them first. If they are ineffective, I won't take a single penny."

  "The pill comes from your hands, I believe it's absolutely not wrong, just... "Xiao Yu changed the subject, "Jian Niang's wonderful hand has already made a name for itself, why doesn't this pill use a well-known brand like Jian Ji's donkey hide gel?" He shook his head again, "If you don't use the Jian Ji brand, it'll be quite difficult to get Jian Niang's pills into the Imperial Hospital."

  I won't bother you if it's not worth the trouble!

  Zhen Shining couldn't help but smile inwardly, while her face showed a look of helplessness. "Minister Zhong said it's true, my body really can't take the strain anymore. If others find out I'm still making medicine, I fear...". She shook her head and didn't continue.

  Jian Dafu's reputation had been blown up too loudly by her, and the probability of being discovered by Shen Zhongjie was too great. Cunning rabbit three holes, she must prepare another substitute as soon as possible, so that Jian Dafu can disappear at the right time and not let Shen Zhongjie catch a handle.

  Her reputation was great, but her status was low. She didn't have the power to refuse someone as powerful as him. If this continued, she would eventually be exhausted to death with a body like hers. It's better to hide her name and fame. Unbeknownst to Zhen Shiniang, Xiao You thought of how he had been rejected by her before, but then forcefully brought her here with the help of Gu Maibao's horse carriage. He nodded sincerely, his tone not without worry: "Without a loud reputation, it's likely that Miss Jian's medicine will have difficulty opening up the market in the short term."

  "The fragrance of wine isn't afraid of a deep alley!" Zhen Shi Niang smiled confidently. "As long as the hospital is willing to help me promote it, that's all I need."

  As long as her pill enters Tai Hospital, it will definitely open up the situation!

  For the past three months, Pei's face had been as calm and confident as a peach blossom. Xiao Yu's eyes also lit up, "Good!" He nodded decisively.

  ……

  Second Grandma stared blankly at Big Sister Jin Xi, “......Did she really cure Old Madam?”

  He said it was only five layers of certainty, how did he actually cure it?

  Zhong Fei has just taken over for three months and hasn't even warmed up yet.

  Jian Dafu had just finished removing a silk thread from the old lady's nostril, saying that she would be fine after resting for a few days. Jin Xi nodded in agreement.

  "....has the old lady stopped complaining of headaches?" The second wife still wouldn't give up.

  "It only hurts a bit at the knife wound." Jin Xi shook his head, "Just had a bowl of bird's nest congee, and my spirit is much better than yesterday."

  The second grandma swept the teacup to the ground with a fierce motion, "This cheap woman actually dared to deceive me!"

  If she hadn't said there was only a 50% chance, how would he have gone to such great lengths to help her persuade Zhong Tang and Er Ye?

  I had originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, using her hand to murder the old madam and then letting Xiao Ye bear a lifetime of guilt. Who would have thought it would end up like this...

  "The slave girl doesn't seem to be lying." Jin Xi looked at the second lady with a quivering gaze.

  A fifty percent chance of recovery is still a fifty percent chance of getting better, how can that be considered cheating?

  Otherwise, how could Zhong Tang's cleverness allow her to take action?

  "...And you're still speaking up for her!" The second wife's eyes suddenly shot out two cold glints.

  Jin Xi plop fell to her knees, "This servant deserves to die..."

  Just then, Mu Xi knocked on the door and came in, "The Chu Niang of the General's Mansion has arrived."

  "Not here!" The second lady was in a huff, and after speaking, she thought for a moment and added, "Wait, take her to find Zheng Nainai."

  Zheng Yiniang is the housekeeper in charge of receiving female guests at Zhong Dang Fu.

  A concubine, without considering her own status, actually wants to move around with the legitimate wife in the Zhong Tang Fu!

  "This..." Mu Xi wanted to say something, but seeing Jin Xi kneeling on the ground, he wisely shut his mouth.

  Zheng's wife received the message and hurried over, "...... Second Madam can't make it, General Shen's Chu Niangniang, although a concubine, has been in charge of the inner courtyard for five years and is deeply favored by General Shen. In the past when Old Madame was in charge, she always let Eldest Madam host, there's precedent..."

  The second lady frowned, she wasn't unaware of this, but she always felt that letting the first wife receive the aunt from the General's Manor in the main hall would give rise to suspicions of currying favor with the General's Manor. She had heard that not long ago when Chu Xinyi visited the Prime Minister's Manor, it was the housekeeper who came out to greet her.

  In the social circle of aristocratic families, such things have always spread the fastest.
