Baili Huangzhuang clapped her hands and looked at the unconscious 2 in front of her. These two guys only had a little martial arts, with no cultivation or talent. But usually they could help scheme very well and give Xuanyuan Huan many ideas so he let them stay by his side.
"Luckily, somebody just happened to come and deliver money into my hands!"
Baili Huangzhuang smiled slyly and directly took both their coin purses and peeked inside. Gold coins, it seemed that even these goons were richer than her, ah!
Quietly sneaking back into the General"s Household, Baili Huangzhuang began to rummage in the various chests and cupboards, looking for something she could p.a.w.n, finally finding some jewelery. Fortunately though, it seemed that it looked like it"d be worth quite some money if she p.a.w.ned it.
She was, after all, the General"s household"s young miss. Even if the general mistreated her, she still had some of the most basic jewelery.
Looking at the jewelry laid out on the table, Baili Huangzhuang stroked her chin, "Even if I sold everything, I still won"t be able to afford all the things I need for my cultivation."
Cultivation is something that burns money. If she didn"t have enough cultivation resources, her future cultivation will be troublesome. She had to catch up to Baili Yuyan as soon as possible, this absolutely cannot be delayed.
"Is there a way to make money?"
Baili Huangzhuang sank into thought. At first she had wanted to refine some pills and sell it to earn money, but without even enough to afford a pill furnace, there was no way she could do that now.
Suddenly, Baili Huangzhuang"s eyes shown with light, "Starting out as G.o.dly doctor at Ten-thousand Medicine Lane wouldn"t be to bad!"
She"s always been very confident in her medicinal skills, so if she becomes a highly skilled doctor at Ten-thousand Medicine Lane, she"ll surely be rolling in money!
Chen Imperial Mansion.
The breeze blew, causing the bamboo leaves to dance in the air rhythmically as the plants formed a curtain. A pale, golden figure sat behind a stone table.
His delicate and pretty face was unparalleled that held a teasing rouge-like expression was quickly replaced by an astute and indifferent visage, a supremely n.o.ble air surrounding him.
"Hei Mu, do you know that girl"s ident.i.ty?"
His thin lips opened slightly as his black like obsidian pupils glinted with faint happiness. It was rare to find such an interesting girl.
"Young lord, that girl"s ident.i.ty is somewhat special." Hei Mu"s face was slightly strange, in fact, he had also thought that this girl"s ident.i.ty was rather weird.
Dibei Chen raised his eyebrow and laughed lightly, "What"s special?"
"That girl is the General’s households young miss of the first wife- Baili Huangzhuang!" Hei Mu reported truthfully.
"Huangzhuang, Baili Huangzhuang." Dibei Chen repeated her name twice, his lips gradually widening, "No wonder Xuanyuan Huan"s expression was strange when he saw her earlier."
"What happened to the guy Xuanyuan sent to follow Baili Huangzhuang?"
"Baili Huangzhuang knocked the two unconscious before taking their wallets. After that, she…… wrote a few choice words on their backs."
Remembering how Baili Huangzhuang had handled the matter, Hei Mu couldn"t help but reveal a little smile.
"What words?" Dibei Chen was very curious. He had seen Baili Huangzhuang"s mischievous and clever nature with his own eyes, and right away knew that she was like a cunning she-demon!
"Prince Jing"s b.u.t.tocks were really white! His Highness, the Crown Prince are even whiter!"
"Pfft!"
Dibei Chen had just drunk a gla.s.s of water when he heard what Baili Huangzhuang had said, and almost spat out the water he just drunk. This woman really acts out of the ordinary, ah!
Hei Mu"s eyes held a hint of laughter. Usually the little lord always kept a cool and collected expression on his face, and it was rare for him to make such a face. This Baili Huangzhuang was really a treasure!
"Little lord, the crown prince tried to act against you. Shall we dispose of him?"
Hei Mu"s face darkened. His little lord was an honored existence, but earlier, even a little Crown Prince dared to bully him! They were already unable to continue watching!
"We can"t act rashly." His eyes that were deep like the ocean shined with intelligence. "Although I"ve already stayed in Feng Bo country for 3 years, the spies still haven"t withdrawn, so we can only endure.""We can"t watch little lord get insulted, ah!" Hei Mu frowned, "We can quietly deal with this prince without exposing ourselves!"
"Right now, I"m the crippled prince in Feng Bo country that everybody mocks. Even if Xuanyuan Huan is dead, there would be another, and another, and another. This wouldn"t have any meaning, and will only end up provoking suspicion." Dibei Chen"s tone was cold as he looked at his legs, "Still no news of the G.o.dly doctor?"
Hei Mu"s face sunk and he shook his head, "No news."
If it wasn"t for his little lord"s legs to be suddenly crippled, then there wouldn"t be any need for them to stifle their demands and suffer in silence!
There will inevitably be a day when they pay back everything in full!
Dibei Chen"s expression stayed the same. Even though the people under him were unyielding, he was as tranquil as night, his maturity far exceeding his age.
The next day, an interesting rumor spread through the palace walls.
Who knows what leopard heart or bile they"ve eaten, but the Crown Prince"s 2 subordinates Zhang Ping and Song Ji dared to appraise the b.u.t.tocks of the Prince Jing and the Crown Prince on their backs!
Prince Jing"s b.u.t.tocks are white!
The Crown Prince"s b.u.t.tocks are even whiter!
These 2 sentences seemed to become the dinner table joke. Some people even jeered about how Zhang Ping could compare Prince Jing"s snow white b.u.t.tocks. After all, many onlookers that day saw Prince Jing"s b.u.t.t, but how could they know if the Crown Prince"s was whiter?
This developed into an in-depth investigation, and suddenly a single large word spontaneously emerged in everybody"s mind: h.o.m.os.e.xuality! No wonder the Crown Prince would always keep Zhang Pei and Song Ji by his side!
And since the news spread, Xuanyuan Huan and Xuanyuan Jing both haven"t stepped foot out of the palace once. However, their actions only provoked further suspicion as the people turned to their own conjectures, laughing incessantly one after another!
Xuanyuan Huan and Xuanyuan Jing"s reputations were both usually bad, but it was still incredibly rare to see them so disgraced. Everybody continued to add vinegar and oil to the fire, further shaming the 2 men who could only hide in their mansions.
Baili Huangzhuang left the General"s household in early morning. Ever since Bi Qing was beaten to death, the General"s household had never sent any more maidservants to attend to her again.
But on one hand, it was actually saved her a lot of trouble. n.o.body would care about her life and death so even if she left the General"s household, n.o.body would know- or care.
Taking the lead to the p.a.w.nshop, Baili Huangzhuang sold all the jewelery, successfully gaining thousands of gold coins. However, she told the p.a.w.nshop to reserve it, and that it wouldn"t be long until she came to buy it back.
After all, most of it was her mother"s jewelry, and couldn"t be sold.
To become a G.o.dly doctor, the resources of the workplace must be many. Maybe that was saying a little too much, but most importantly, she needs somewhere appropriate to open her business first.
"An appropriate location… …" Baili Huangzhuang whispered to herself. Currently, she had no idea of how the imperial city worked, so she needed to find somebody experienced with the market. "Ten-thousand Medicine Lane"s shopkeeper, Ji Wenbei!"
A herbal medicine shop and a doctor were often connected with each other, and Baili Huangzhuang believed that Ji Wenbei understood this very clearly.
In her past life, she was the family head and had met many people. Although Ji Wenbei was a businessman, his heart was good and wasn"t a profiteer. If she asked him, he should agree.
Just as she thought, when Baili Huangzhuang proposed the idea, Ji Wenbei agreed without hesitation.
