Chapter 201: The Prescription
“I went to the Jiang Mansion yesterday. Madame Jiang was not feeling well, so I used the prescription from my mother and cured her. And it worked.” Gu Chaoyan said carefully.
Madame Gu nodded. So it was Mrs. Lin’s prescription!
As the prescription was mentioned, she found that it was pitiful that Mrs. Lin did not mention them. If she had known that she had them, she could have given those to Zhenkang who might have been promoted to a high position by this time.
When she thought about this, Madame Gu could not help but start to blame Mrs. Lin. However, she was gone now anyway, so Madame Gu started to use Chaoyan instead. Those prescriptions, which seemed to be very practical, should not remain in Chaoyan’s hands. So she said involuntarily, “Chaoyan, how many prescriptions did your mother leave to you?”
“Many.” Gu Chaoyan answered nonchalantly as she asked Sword One and other servants to carry the stuff to the Qiong Pavilion.
Hearing this Madame Gu showed a bright smile.
Those prescriptions were wonderful stuff. They not only saved the Young Master of the w.a.n.g Family, but also Madame Jiang from the Jiang Mansion! If the Gu Mansion could use them well, they were definitely going to get tons of profits.
Both Zhenkang and Ruxue were in need of them. Chaoyan did not need to keep them.
As she thought about this, Madame Gu said, “Chaoyan, you are the lady of the Gu Mansion, and you should be connected with the Gu Mansion in shame and honor.”
“...”
“If you offer the prescriptions to the public, we will be able to gain great benefits from them.”
“...”
“When the Gu Mansion is doing well, you will be doing well too.”
“...”
“Are you willing to offer those prescriptions?” Madame Gu spoke with a tone of inquiry, but she was actually being very intimidating.
Chaoyan threw a look at Madame Gu, seeing the greed inside her eyes.
They had thought that it was her luck to have saved the Young Master of the w.a.n.g Family, but when she managed to treat Madame Jiang, the Gu Mansion could not help but try to steal stuff from her.
How naive they were! No one was able to cure someone with just one paper prescription. However, Madame Gu believed that it was possible.
Anyway... If they wanted them, she would just give the prescriptions to them.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. “Okay.”
Madame Gu let out a sigh of relief. It was great that Chaoyan was willing to be obedient enough to listen to her words.
“I will get Sword One to deliver the prescriptions.” Gu Chaoyan said coldly.
“Okay!” Madame Gu did not notice the strange tone in Gu Chaoyan’s voice, as Madam Gu heard her approval of giving away the prescription. She nodded.
***
At Begonia Yard.
Gu Ruxue looked so distressed that even her maid felt scared. Every time the Second Lady showed such an expression, the servants of Begonia Yard would have to suffer.
Mrs. Gu noticed that something was wrong when she walked in. She asked, “What is it?”
Gu Ruxue struck the table heavily. “It is all the ugly girl’s fault!”
“...”
“For some reason, she flattered the Jiang Mansion and received lots of presents from them!” Gu Ruxue said angrily, thinking that she should be the flattered one, since she was marrying Lord Ling!
Gu Ruxue had apparently forgotten that the Jiang Mansion did not need to flatter anyone, let alone someone who was not even a Princess Consort.
Mrs. Gu’s expression sank. “d.a.m.n the girl! Ruxue, don’t get mad, it is pretty easy to deal with her!”
