Chapter 101 Going to the Medicine Store
After getting the old lady's approval, Yao did not delay. After coming out of the old lady's yard, she gave a few instructions to the steward and went to Beiyuan immediately.
It was close to noon and the weather was hot. Yao was plump to begin with, and after walking in the sun for a while, she began to sweat.
Walking into Beiyuan, Yao felt that the temperature around her had dropped. She had seldom been to Beiyuan before, and had never taken a close look at the place during the few times she had been there.
Today, I see that the North Garden is really beautifully decorated, especially the trees planted on both sides. I don't know what kind of trees they are, but they give off a cool scent, which reduces a lot of the summer heat.
As soon as she entered the room, a gust of cool air blew towards Yao.
The weather today is much hotter than usual, but ice is a rare commodity. Even Yao was reluctant to put ice in the house to cool it down at this time. Unexpectedly, Beiyuan had already put ice in the house.
"Greetings, Master and Prince Consort." Yao bowed slightly, "This room is really cool."
Su Chenyu lay on her side on the couch by the window, supporting her chin with one hand and reading a book with the other. She looked serious and her thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her lower eyelid.
Baili Yanqing sat opposite her, picking up the grapes on the table, peeling them one by one, and then putting them near Su Chenyu's mouth. Su Chenyu didn't even look at what was in front of her mouth, and ate it directly.
Looking at this scene, Yao felt as if an invisible wall had risen in front of her, isolating her from the outside. Envy flashed through her eyes. Such a peaceful and tranquil scene was something she could never hope to achieve in her lifetime.
"The master likes to stay cool and is afraid of heat, so the consort asked the servants to prepare more ice cubes and put them in the house to cool down the heat." It was Nanny Xu who came in from outside and answered Yao's words, "Madam, why are you here at this time? Is there anything?"
Yao smiled and said, "It's like this. Didn't the prince consort just say that he wanted to take over the medicine store? I have already asked the housekeeper to go to the medicine store to inform them. Otherwise, they wouldn't know what's going on when they see the prince consort going there."
Baili Yanqing took the cheese brought by Nanny Xu and placed it on the table: "There is no need for Madam to come in person for these trivial matters. Just send someone over to let us know."
"I also take this matter very seriously, so I dare not be vague." Yao's smile was kind and flattering, but Baili Yanqing had already seen through her thoughts: "If that's the case, then thank you very much, Madam."
Seeing that Baili Yanqing had no intention of continuing the conversation, Yao left tactfully, but she was still very angry. However, thinking of the many confidants she had cultivated in the medicine shop, Yao felt a little relieved and even felt secretly happy. She was just waiting to see Baili Yanqing make a fool of himself.
As soon as she walked through the gate of the mansion, Yao saw Baili Qi. She loved this daughter the most, but thinking about what Baili Qi said at the gate of the mansion, Yao became more and more angry.
"My dear." Baili Qi called out, and Yao walked past her with a cold face: "You are so opinionated now, I can't control you anymore."
Yao didn't let Baili Qi in, but had the gate of the courtyard closed, thinking that ignoring her for a few days would help her remember her lesson.
Baili Qi looked at the closed gate, but hatred flashed through his eyes. Why couldn't even his parents understand him? How could the prince possibly be interested in someone like him?
According to those rules, she could only marry into a small family. How could she be willing?
Beiyuan, after Yao left, Su Chenyu put down the book in her hand and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to take back the medicine shop?"
