The maid went to ask the waiter and came back soon, taking Bei Yutang to the toilet in the backyard.
When they arrived at the backyard, Bei Yutang looked around and immediately noticed the back door.
"I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I will stay for a while. You go to the front and wait for me." Bei Yutang ordered.
The maid had no doubts and replied, "Yes."
After sending the maid away, Bei Yutang opened the back door, which led to an alley. She quickly crossed the alley and headed towards the medicine shop next door to this shop.
As soon as she entered the shop, she took out a prescription from her sleeve and said, "Give me some medicine."
The pharmacy clerk took a look at the prescription and started to prepare the medicine according to the prescription.
"Hey, can you boil the medicine for me?" Bei Yutang asked.
"Sure. But there's a fee." The guy put the packaged medicine in front of her.
Bei Yutang took out a silver ingot and said to the waiter, "Please boil this medicine. I need to drink it later. This is the money and the cost of boiling the medicine. The rest is for you, brother."
When the clerk saw the five taels of silver on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up.
A prescription would cost at most half a dang (approximately 100 yuan) and decocting the medicine would only cost a few coins. The remaining silver was more than four taels, which was equivalent to his annual salary.
The waiter quickly agreed, "Okay, no problem. I'll fry it right away."
"I'll come get it later."
Bei Yutang came and left in a hurry. When she returned to the jewelry store, the maid saw her but did not suspect anything.
Back in the shop, Bei Yutang began to paint seriously. She painted very carefully, and sometimes she would start over from the beginning if she was not satisfied with the work. The shopkeeper and the maids thought it was good, but in her eyes it was not up to standard.
Seeing how much importance she attaches to this matter, one can't help but feel that she is very thoughtful.
Little did they know that she was stalling for time so that she would have enough time to boil the medicine.
After repeating this process for an hour, the painting was nearing completion.
Bei Yutang frowned, a strange expression on her face. She said to the two maids, "I'm going to be gone for a while. You two stay here and take good care of this painting. Don't let anyone destroy it."
One of the maids asked, "Madam, where are you going?"
Bei Yutang glared at her unhappily, "What do you think?"
The maid saw Bei Yutang looking like she was in a hurry to go to the toilet, and immediately regretted that she was too cautious.
"I deserve to die." The maid immediately bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
Bei Yutang didn't bother to pay attention to her and hurried to the backyard.
The two maids looked at her slightly hurried steps with a hint of sneer on their lips.
"Madam, you have a stomachache today. Don't come near me. You are very shy," said another maid.
"I'm just worried...if anything goes wrong, we'll be dead."
They were not simply serving Bei Yutang, but also monitoring her every move. If anything happened to Bei Yutang, they would be dead.
Bei Yutang went to such great lengths to make a complete journey because he was well aware of his situation.
The entire Yuwen Mansion was filled with Yuwen Changyun's spies. If she wanted to do something, it would be difficult to do it in the mansion and she could only do it outside the mansion. As for the maids who followed her, Bei Yutang was not stupid and knew who they were loyal to.
As soon as Bei Yutang arrived at the pharmacy, the clerk noticed her at first sight and immediately came to greet her.
"Madam, the medicine you requested has been prepared long ago. I'll bring it to you." The waiter said enthusiastically.
