Chapter 795 Not Seeking Wealth
With a formidable enemy at hand, who has the mind to indulge in romantic feelings? Lin Yuesha had no doubts and said, "Then I will stay in Wucheng for the time being, just to avoid him."
That pockmarked guy is always looking for trouble. He just dealt with Wang Binglan, and now he's got Ziyuan.
Wang Binglan's interest in Qi Heng was their own business, but the fact that she had to be dragged into the conflict between the men made Lin Yuesha very impatient.
If you have a grudge, settle it; if you have a grievance, settle it. Go after the person responsible. You're really something, trying to take advantage of an innocent and weak woman like her.
"I thought he was a decent person, except for being greedy for money."
Lin Yuesha changed the subject, and Qi Heng was overjoyed.
"By the way, try not to cause trouble in the future."
Now that the two are engaged, the pockmarked man is her person and under her control.
The scene of saving someone requires her consent; even Xu Da couldn't escape the precociousness of a woman.
However, Xu Da was a bachelor, so the outcome was good.
"I will follow my wife's arrangements."
Qi Heng realized that he had to be shameless; if he remained aloof as before, he would only drift further and further away from Lin Yuesha.
He is currently trying to get rid of his status as an adopted brother. As Ziyuan said, the eldest brother is like a father, which Qi Heng cannot accept. He pretends not to care, but he is heartbroken all night.
"By the way, how is Young Master Luo doing now?"
Lin Yuesha inquired about Luo Wang's whereabouts and found that things had eased somewhat. Her meaning was that the two of them didn't need to put on a serious act.
Many times, Lin Yuesha had a misconception, especially when she was called Mrs. Qi, which reminded her that she was already married.
"It's not good. The poisoning is too severe. Although the antidote has been used, he still needs to recuperate."
Qi Heng was about to say that Prince Luo was still lively and energetic, but sensing Lin Yuesha's little scheme, he immediately changed the subject and made Prince Luo sound like he was about to be buried.
"Alas, these are turbulent times; I hope everything will pass soon."
Lin Yuesha had a lot of trivial tasks to do, so she had to sort them out first. She wanted to ask Wuya for help, but Wuya's mind was not on her, and she was running around with Xu Da all day.
"You don't need to worry, everything is fine in the capital, and your parents have been safely delivered to Cangzhou."
Qi Heng described the situation in the capital: the Wei family was powerful and arrogant, and was about to lead their troops north to wipe out Sishui City.
“My mother is being taken care of by my father, so I’m not worried. Besides, you’ve brought my maternal grandparents and eldest uncle over. What about my eldest brother? Any news?”
Lin Yuesha said worriedly, "Several scholars from Qingzhu Academy have shed their blood at the Jingzhao Yin's office. My elder brother is a bit slow-witted; what if he gets instigated by someone..."
Qi Heng raised an eyebrow. Although he always pretended to be a nice guy, he wasn't that clueless, was he?
Being a nice person and being stupid are not the same thing.
Hearing that her family was doing well, Lin Yuesha was completely relieved.
Two more days later, Yu Qiuniang led dozens of her sisters into Wucheng. Lian Qiao selected a few quick, bold, and meticulous women to join the medical team, and Lin Yuesha assigned tasks to the rest based on their strengths.
The women of the First Village are hardworking and resilient, and their strength and determination are second to none, which Wuya greatly admires.
"Moonlight Gown, since you're using them to help, haven't you considered removing the tattoos from their faces?"
The meaning of that stab is self-evident. Despite receiving help, the people were not entirely indifferent. They were always trembling with fear when dealing with people with criminal records.
"Of course I've considered it, but what's the best way?"
Removing the tattoos from my face is like cutting off a piece of flesh; without the snow frog ointment, it will ultimately leave a scar.
"There's an old doctor in Wucheng who makes a scar removal cream that works very well."
As Uya spoke, she lifted her sleeve and pointed to a patch of white skin for Lin Yuesha to see, "I have a scar here, do you see it?"
When she first learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows, she accidentally fell off the horse, tearing her sleeve and leaving a scar on her arm.
"I don't see anything."
Lin Yuesha stared intently, and Wuya pointed to the spot. It was smooth and flat, with neither protrusions nor dents, showing no signs of having been injured.
"That old doctor's scar removal cream is really effective, but he has a strange temper."
Uya's idea was to first remove the tattoos from the faces of the sisters in the first village, so that it would be easier for them to do things and travel in the future.
“I thought so too, but I couldn’t find a suitable medicine. If the old doctor could buy it, I’m willing to pay the money.”
Lin Yuesha was very interested in the old doctor's scar removal cream and wanted to ask Wuya to act as an intermediary and introduce her to him.
"I don't have that much face."
Uya smiled bitterly. She had begged and pleaded with everyone she knew to get the scar removal cream, but in the end, she only got one bottle. Now, the city lord's mansion didn't have many left. She had even gone to the old doctor, but he refused to help her.
The old doctor said he couldn't make a scar removal cream, but Uya always felt he still had some.
"If I don't seek wealth, what do I seek?"
There had to be something to exchange with the old doctor; money couldn't sway people's hearts, and Lin Yuesha didn't know what else to do.
"The old doctor has a good appetite, but in Wucheng, we only have roasted whole lamb, so the food is rather scarce."
Now that the city gates of Wucheng are open, it's convenient to travel in the northwest. If you want to impress the old doctor, you might as well hire a few chefs with excellent culinary skills.
"No need to invite me, I am the one!"
Lin Yuesha lacked confidence in everything except her cooking skills.
"you?"
Uya didn't believe it. Looking at Lin Yuesha's slender fingers, without even calluses, she looked like a young lady who had never lifted a finger and was far removed from worldly affairs.
Are you looking down on me?
Lin Yuesha smiled. There would be many more opportunities for her to make a name for herself in the future; she was not only good at making instant noodles.
After parting ways with Wuya, Lin Yuesha went to see Yan Yan and Lian Qiao to discuss the formation of a medical team.
We can put aside the issue of food for now; forming a medical team is urgent. Ideally, we should form an army composed of women, as relying solely on the help of the sisters in the first village is far from enough.
"What? You kidnapped Yang Qing, lured the people from our First Village to the Northwest, and now you're eyeing the other forty-eight villages?"
The motley crew of the Eighteen Villages cowered in fear, and the Forty-Eight Villages were about to face a new round of reshuffling.
With Yu Qiuniang's arrival, the other sisters from the various mountain strongholds were still waiting for news and were hesitating.
“They are different from me. I don’t care about the tattoos on my face, but they do.”
If one joins the main camp, at least one's identity can be cleared, but the tattoos on one's face will represent the mistakes one has made, which will never be erased.
Those unfortunate women were not wicked or evil people, but were forced to their deaths.
"If I have a way to remove this tattoo without leaving a scar, then let the sisters come to the Northwest."
Lin Yuesha couldn't be completely certain right now; she was very busy and would seek out the old doctor after she finished her current tasks.
It seems that getting a large quantity of scar removal cream will be quite a challenge.
"I trust you. I'll send them a message once I've settled in."
Yu Qiuniang agreed, hoping that those who pledged allegiance to the imperial court were right, otherwise she would become the villain who harmed her sisters.
