Chapter 69: The Wife is as Rich as a Nation
At the critical moment, Lu Wanyin raised his right hand and lightly grabbed a wooden stick.
Then, he swept around fiercely.
The wooden stick left a shadow, and before the servants could see clearly, they were hit hard in the chest by the stick.
"ah!"
The wooden sticks fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Even more unfortunate was that he was hit on the instep by the falling wooden stick.
But in the blink of an eye, the situation took a 180-degree turn.
The onlookers also looked at each other in confusion.
No one could believe that Lu Wanyin, a weak woman who could barely even tie a chicken, could actually take on so many!
Lu Wanyin took the wooden stick and tapped it gently in her hand.
She slowly walked towards the terrified shopkeeper and asked, "Do you want me to knock you down, or get out of here?"
"I'll leave, I'll leave by myself..."
The shopkeeper screamed until his voice broke and ran away crawling.
Lu Wanyin looked around coldly.
The onlookers were afraid of being implicated and fled the place without stopping.
There was no one else in front of this shop that was always crowded with people.
Lu Wanyin dropped the stick and turned around to invite, "Come on, go in and visit my new shop."
Xie Jingci nodded, with indulgence always in his eyes.
The silk shop is divided into two floors, the lower floor is filled with all kinds of gorgeous silks and satins.
Some are dazzling and colorful, some are fresh and elegant, and they are all top-quality products.
Lu Wanyin found the account book on the second floor.
After checking it, she put it aside with satisfaction.
She looked at Xie Jingci and said, "I know you have connections. I have quite a few shops and farms here. Please help me clean up the mess and replace them with your people."
She added, "Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. I'll give you 10% of the profits from these shops. How about that?"
These shops all belonged to the corrupt officials she had robbed.
She had checked before and found that the eldest princess's family alone had dozens of shops.
But she only had the land deed, and after all, she was just an unfavored illegitimate daughter in the Chenyang Marquis's Mansion.
I simply don't have the ability to turn these shops into my own.
If the transfer cannot be made, the income will still belong to the original owner.
Moreover, there are simply too many of them, and they all involve high-ranking officials in the capital. Once they are brought out on a large scale, those people will be able to trace her back.
But Xie Jingci obviously has this ability.
Xuan Qi didn't comment at first. It was just a transfer of ownership of a silk shop, so why did his general go to so much trouble?
He can even do it.
The lady doesn't even need to pay a penny of the profit.
until--
Lu Wanyin used her sleeves to block the view and took out a thick stack of land deeds from the space.
Xuan Qi's eyes suddenly widened.
These land deeds, if piled up together, would be almost as long as his legs.
This...his wife is actually rich enough to rival a country!
Compared to the inexperienced Xuan Qi, Xie Jingci was much calmer.
He didn't need to pretend to be disabled at this time. He picked up the thick deed and looked through it quickly.
Lu Wanyin sat down aside and took out a handful of the shopkeeper's melon seeds from the counter and started to eat them.
There are so many shops, not only in the capital and Qi County, but also scattered in the prosperous cities of Dasheng.
It's really tiring for her to patrol every household.
It would be better to let someone capable do it.
Even a 10% profit is a sky-high price.
Xie Jingci didn't refuse: "Okay."
Lu Wanyin felt relieved and didn't even count the silk in the shop. She just became a hands-off manager and took Xie Jingci and the other two to go shopping.
The streets were more lively and cheerful than before.
People came out in droves, wiping away the gloom on their faces, and some shops even hung red lanterns outside their doors.
Lu Wanyin sighed, "It seems the former county magistrate is truly unpopular."
Xie Jingci nodded.
Lu Wanyin went to buy snacks with ease, while Xuan Qi's hands were full.
I was enjoying my stroll when suddenly, I heard a commotion in front of me on the right.
"Shu'er! Shu'er! What's wrong with you? Is there a doctor? My daughter is sick! Please help me get a doctor! Quick!"
Hearing this, Lu Wanyin pushed through the crowd and rushed in without saying a word.
In the middle of the crowd, a young couple knelt on the ground, the woman holding a trembling little girl tightly in her arms.
The little girl was only five or six years old, her face was pale and her lips were purple.
The man took out some small change from his pocket and asked for help from the audience beside him: "I have just arrived in this county and am not very familiar with the place. Please help me find a doctor. This is the reward."
As soon as they saw the reward, the people who had just been standing by and watching immediately became interested.
"I'll go! I'll go!"
For a moment, several young men scrambled to take the change from the man's hand, and no one gave in.
Taking advantage of the gap when several people were still fighting, Lu Wanyin stepped forward and said, "No need to call a doctor, I can save her."
As she spoke, she squatted down and said to the crying woman, "Lay her flat on the ground first."
The young couple looked at Lu Wanyin together. The man was slightly stunned and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
Obviously, he didn't believe it.
There are no female doctors in Dasheng
Even if there is, looking at Lu Wanyin's age, she is no more than eighteen. Even if she knows some medical skills, it is probably just talk and she has no real ability.
He naturally couldn't let his daughter take this risk.
Out of pity for the child, Lu Wanyin didn't argue with the man about his blindness.
She said, "Yes, your daughter's illness cannot be delayed. If you delay any longer, I won't be able to save her."
Without waiting for the couple to reply, the people who had just rushed to call a doctor became anxious.
Where did this ignorant woman come from, daring to cut off their source of income?
They were enemies just now, but in an instant they united and said, "Who are you? You are a woman, and you dare to pretend to be a doctor? Are you crazy for money?"
"That's right! Women should stay home and take care of their husbands and children. It's inappropriate for them to show up in public."
Lu Wanyin turned around, and at the same time, several steel needles flew out.
The men who were shouting were speechless for a moment.
Lu Wanyin clapped her hands in satisfaction: "Finally, it's quiet."
After saying that, she looked at the man again and said, "I'll ask you again, can you treat it?"
The man was also skeptical about Lu Wanyin's words at first, but he didn't understand what she had just done.
"Cure it! I will cure it!"
He turned to his wife and said, "Quick, listen to her and lay Shu'er down."
The woman wiped her tears, still a little skeptical: "Husband, is she really okay?"
After hearing this, Lu Wanyin stood up and said, "Forget it."
She was willing to help out because she felt sorry for the little girl, but she wouldn't rush into other people's affairs.
Xuan Qi saw that she was really going to leave, and felt a little reluctant: "Madam, are you really not going to care?"
Lu Wanyin didn't even turn around: "No matter, I never do anything that will only please the cold shoulder, let's go."
She supported Xie Jingci and was about to leave.
The onlookers behind her were muttering, "I don't think she can cure it at all. She's just being mysterious."
"That's right. How can a woman treat a disease without being laughed at?"
Lu Wanyin despises these stinky men who look down on women the most.
She turned around, and those who had just spoken quickly shut up and turned away.
I was afraid that her steel nails would pierce me.
"Girl, please stay!"
