Chapter 49: Detecting Love Rivals and Crisis for My Master
On the way back from Chen's Mansion, Lu Wanning passed by Huichun Hall. When she passed by the door, she happened to see Wei Xun walking out from inside.
This man's injuries must not have healed fully yet. When Lu Wanning bandaged him that day, she didn't even use any painkillers. Now, Wei Xun's face looks a little pale.
But even though he was weak, he couldn't hide the pride that almost emanated from him.
In her previous life, Sang Mingyue failed to kill her husband and was heartbroken. Wei Xun took over the Sang family's property and lived a carefree life, making a great success in the capital.
At the beginning, many people helped the Sang family to stand up for justice. Those who had received favors from Master Sang in his early years even wanted to die together with Wei Xun to comfort those people in the Sang family who were killed by Wei Xun.
But Wei Xun was extremely good at winning people's hearts. He created a character for himself who loved his wife and was extremely sad because of her accident, and took out a large sum of silver as alms.
It was euphemistically called a prayer for the Sang family.
The people were lenient with the government, and as they received more, they gradually changed their attitude.
Wei Xun is a pitiful man. If anyone is to blame, it is only the Sang family's bad luck, not his own.
Some people even sympathized with Wei Xun because his wife died at a young age, and there was a long line of people waiting to find a partner for him.
So much so that before Lu Wanning's death, Wei Xun's reputation had completely reversed.
The Sang Mansion was gradually forgotten.
Seeing Lu Wanning staring at the figure in front of her, Hu Yan followed suit. She had accompanied Lu Wanning to the Sang Mansion to treat Wei Xun's injuries that day, so she recognized him immediately and asked with some confusion, "What is the Crown Prince's Consort thinking about?"
"Nothing." Lu Wanning retracted her gaze and suddenly asked, "How long has Qi Muchao been gone?"
"Three days."
After saying that he was going out that day, Qi Muchao had already left when Lu Wanning woke up the next day. It was a bit hypocritical to say that she had clearly not slept in the same bed with Qi Muchao for long, but she seemed to have become accustomed to his presence.
These past few days, I woke up with no one around me and felt inexplicably empty.
Lu Wanning felt that this was Qi Muchao's fault because he always tried to get close to her and even accused her of being dishonest and trying to get into his arms even when she was sleeping.
But she thinks that's pure nonsense.
But, it’s only been three days?
Shaking her head, Lu Wanning collected her thoughts and saw that after Wei Xun came out, the shopkeeper inside looked unhappy, with a stern face and seemed very angry.
Just as she was wagging her beard in anger, she caught a glimpse of the master and servant beside her. Her eyes lit up, and the shopkeeper immediately came out and winked at her, "Miss, you need some medicine. We have all kinds of herbs in Huichuntang."
When Lu Wanning walked in and found herself alone, the shopkeeper's smile suddenly faded. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, wanting to cry but unable to. "Auntie, how did you go to the Sang Mansion that day to help cure Young Master Wei's injuries? Why did he have to come and destroy our Huichuntang signboard?"
"Really?" Lu Wanning feigned confusion, looking innocent. "What's going on? Master Wei was stabbed. There's nothing much to say about this injury. Just bandage and apply medicine. How can I treat it?"
The shopkeeper also knew that it was a normal knife wound, so he was so angry when he heard Wei Xun making a fuss here just now.
He believed that this Wei had bad intentions. Huichuntang had been in turmoil for the past two days because of him treating a patient. The matter had finally been resolved, but now he came to cause trouble again.
The shopkeeper cursed inwardly, but couldn't help cursing, "It's all the boss's fault. Why treat a bastard like him? He should have died that day."
Lu Wanning agreed with this, but she didn't show it on her face. She continued to look curious, "What just happened?"
"He said the wound you treated last time is itchy, and it's gotten worse over the past few days. He blames us at Huichun Hall for our poor medical skills."
"What?" Lu Wanning's face immediately lit up with anger. "Wounds scabbing and healing naturally cause itching. Could it be that with more advanced medical skills, he could have healed the wound without leaving any trace?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper became even angrier. "I've explained it to him, but he's just a blockhead. He won't listen to anything I say. What's more, he wants to buy Huichuntang."
"What does Boss Qin say?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's shoulders slumped and he sighed, "You can all see the situation at Huichuntang. To be honest, if you hadn't been here for this long, I'm afraid it would have closed down long ago."
It’s not that it doesn’t make money, but for Qin Linche, Huichuntang has meager profits compared to his other businesses, but it brings countless troubles.
If he hadn't been determined to compete with Yunque Pavilion, he would have sold Huichun Hall long ago.
"Right now, I see the boss is thinking of selling Huichuntang to that Young Master Wei." The shopkeeper had been in Huichuntang for many years and naturally felt a little nostalgic. He glanced at her and said somewhat embarrassedly, "The boss usually only listens to a few words from the young lady. How about you go and persuade him?"
advise?
Lu Wanning had no intention of trying to persuade her, but she naturally wouldn't give up something she had already set her eyes on to others.
So she looked towards the second floor without hesitation and asked, "Is he upstairs?"
"Here, here." The shopkeeper suddenly smiled happily and excitedly led the way for her. "With this young lady here, there will definitely be no problem."
He sent Lu Wanning to the second floor, opened the door for her very attentively, and watched her go in with anticipation in his eyes.
After she went in, the shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, and his heart was half relieved.
I think it will definitely not be a problem for Lu Wanning to protect Huichuntang.
In the room, a man in a very flamboyant red robe was lying on the beauty bed.
There were four maids around him. The maids on the left and right were fanning him, the maid in the front was massaging his legs, and another was twisting a peeled grape with her slender jade fingers and putting it into his mouth.
Lu Wanning was no longer surprised by this scene. She walked up to him, found a seat to sit down, and poured herself a cup of tea.
After taking a sip, he frowned, "Could it be that he's really bankrupt? Why is this tea so unpalatable?"
Qin Linche rolled his eyes, waved his hand to let the four maids retreat, and said shamelessly: "Bankruptcy? This master will never allow this word to appear around me."
He seemed a little puzzled about Lu Wanning's appearance today and stared at her twice.
"Normally you wouldn't even set foot on the second floor. What brought you here today that made you come to me?"
Hu Yan's ears suddenly perked up.
As a subordinate, it is her unshirkable responsibility to detect rivals and crises for her master.
"Don't give me that," Lu Wanning said calmly, "What did Wei Xun come here for?"
