Chapter 370 Selling Medicine
"Sister Lin, aren't you going to drink?"
Zhao Fundie forcefully squeezed between Lin Yuesha and Bai Youran, revealing a fawning smile, "How about giving it to me?"
Of course, it wasn't free. Zhao Fundie could pay silver, fifty taels of silver per bowl. Apart from the Li sisters, she was the richest person there, and no one else could offer such a high price.
Upon hearing that Zhao Fundie was willing to offer fifty taels of silver, the young ladies who had been eager to participate immediately fell silent. They really wanted to curse, "Damn rich people!"
"Haha, whatever Zhao Fundie offers, I can offer double."
Mentioning silver in front of Li Ruoxue was utterly laughable. One hundred taels of silver to buy the medicine in Lin Yuesha's hands.
"Li Ruoxue, do you still have money?"
Lin Yuesha put down the medicine bowl, glanced at Li Ruoxue with a faint look, and spoke very softly.
Last time, when she received compensation, the Li sisters promised her they would use all their savings, practically fleecing her. Now, judging from Li Ruoxue's tone, does she still have some savings?
Not only was Lin Yuesha surprised, but Li Ruoshuang was even more astonished. Over the years, the two sisters had been inseparable, and she knew how much money Li Ruoxue had, but upon entering the girls' school, she discovered that she knew absolutely nothing about it.
My parents are biased. My mother once said that my older sister spends money extravagantly, so she should give her more subsidies. But now it seems that it's more than just a little!
Li Ruoxue had several times more silver than her; she had spent over 20,000 taels, yet she still had silver to spare.
How much did her mother give her sister? Li Ruoshuang didn't know, but she couldn't help but turn pale.
"I may not have any silver, but I do have jewelry. You know my jewelry is all made by masters and is very valuable."
Realizing she had let something slip, Li Ruoxue quickly corrected herself, saying that the money was given to her by her mother alone, and that her mother had agreed not to let her younger sister know. She added that if Li Ruoshuang made a scene, her mother would not give her any more money alone in the future.
He had to keep his private savings a secret from Li Ruoshuang.
"Alright, then you can trade it for jewelry."
In business, personal relationships don't matter; you sell to whoever pays the most. Lin Yuesha received a gold hairpin from Li Ruoxue, then decisively pushed the medicine bowl over, saying, "You can't go back on your word."
"Would I really bother with such a small amount of money? I'm not some penniless scumbag."
Li Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Lin Yuesha, unable to resist provoking her, but she eventually restrained herself. This Lin Yuesha was a bit strange; every time she schemed against her, she was the one who ended up suffering.
"Oh my, Li Ruoshuang, aren't you sisters? Why is Sister Ruoxue's family so wealthy?"
Zhao Fundie was furious when she didn't get her medicine and started sowing discord between the Li sisters. She thought Li Ruoshuang, the younger sister, was truly pathetic. Everyone says the younger siblings are favored, but that's not the case in the Li family. Even though they are twin sisters, Li Ruoshuang seems to be Li Ruoxue's maid.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Li Ruoshuang thought the same thing as Zhao Fendie, but she still had to defend Li Ruoxue, saying, "I can't drink that bitter medicine soup, and I still feel a little nauseous."
"Really? That's wonderful!"
Unexpectedly, Li Ruoxue clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Then when Granny Fang brings the medicine tomorrow, your sister will drink it for you!"
Mother had said that Fang Mama's prescription could be drunk up to five bowls a day for better efficacy. She was worried that the dosage of the decoction was not enough, so since Li Ruoshuang found it bitter, she would gladly accept it.
Why bother with so much between sisters?
"Okay, give it to my sister."
These words were practically squeezed out between her teeth by Li Ruoshuang; she wished she could chop Li Ruoxue to death with a woodcutter's axe. After Yan Shi finished speaking, her pent-up resentment erupted. Li Ruoshuang curled her lips into a smile. For so many years, she had been that pitiful little thing. Her parents favored Li Ruoxue, so let's see if her parents will still dote on her after this older sister loses her reputation.
Lin Yuesha accepted the gold hairpin with satisfaction. In the girls' school, besides learning the rules, all she wanted was to make money.
These ladies are all cunning and have their own interests, so it's impossible to truly befriend any of them; we can only become acquainted with them.
The medicine bowl was returned, and as everyone stood up to return to their rooms, five vicious dogs suddenly emerged from a corner and charged straight at the young ladies.
The vicious dog looked like it had just eaten a bone; there was still a smear of scarlet on its mouth, and its tongue was hanging out, making it look exceptionally ferocious.
"Everyone, stay calm during Granny Fang's test!"
Li Ruoxue wanted to run away, but remembering the punishment she received from Granny Fang for her outburst yesterday, she forced herself to resist and reminded everyone not to run.
Granny Fang's tests came one after another; if you panicked and lost your manners, you were guaranteed to be punished.
At Li Ruoxue's shout, the ladies who were trying to run away miraculously regained their footing and displayed their best manners.
The vicious dogs were getting closer and closer, and Lin Yuesha's mind was in turmoil. She remembered that in the barbarian territory, the vicious dogs kept by the Blue-Eyed City Lord ate people, leaving an indelible shadow in her heart.
Seeing a vicious dog and not running away to show that you are well-behaved? That's not true!
Lin Yuesha lifted her skirt and ran off, finding the nearest house and slamming the door shut to prevent the vicious dog from rushing in.
"She is indeed the one I've set my sights on; she's not like those foolish women."
Inside the door, someone chuckled softly, but the sound made Lin Yuesha's skin crawl. She paused for a moment before finally turning around and discovering that there was someone sitting in the room.
He wore a dark blue, embroidered robe, exuding an air of nobility and wealth, but his eyes held a different color; anyone who met his gaze was easily drawn into the abyss.
Yuwen Kun, the city lord of Sishui City, is Lin Yuesha's greatest nightmare.
What's this person doing here? And what's with the vicious dog outside the door?
Just as Lin Yuesha was about to ask, the young lady who hadn't run away was already crying and screaming outside the door. The vicious dog was tearing everyone's clothes, but it didn't bite anyone; instead, it was licking everyone's bodies.
"You beast, get out of here!"
Li Ruoxue's face was covered in the saliva of the vicious dog. She burst into tears, so frightened that she almost fainted.
The others weren't much better off; some were trembling, and some had already fainted.
What's going on?
Lin Yuesha trembled and turned to ask the blue-eyed girl, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course it's to see you. Remember I said I would marry you as my wife? Don't you remember the mark I left on you?"
Yuwen Kun pointed to Lin Yuesha's chest, saying that unless a layer of skin was cut off with a dagger, the magnolia flower would bloom forever.
It had only been less than half a year, so Lin Yuesha certainly remembered. This was the capital city of Daqi. She couldn't believe that Lan Yanzhu was so bold as to come to the girls' school. There were no men here. He really didn't know the rules.
"I don't like rules, but people who don't follow rules die faster."
As Yuwen Kun spoke, he pointed out the window and laughed, “At this critical moment, these women are still sticking to the old ways. If the vicious dog were eating people, these women would have been in the dog’s belly long ago. There are only two smart people here.”
One was Bai Youran. In a moment of desperation, Bai Youran crawled into a large vat, while Lin Yuesha ran directly into the room, even faster than Bai Youran.
