Su agreed.
A sudden thought flashed through Madam Sun's mind. "Now just a commoner? Oh dear! Forgive my ignorance, but you must be the old lady of the Yun Marquis's mansion from the capital!"
She quickly rose to apologize, "How rude of me! I heard from my husband that the Yun family had returned to their ancestral home, and I had long wanted to visit them in Sanyang Village. Unfortunately, my husband has been busy with floods and disaster relief these past few months, and before the New Year, he was overwhelmed with our son's illness. He has also been discussing the treatment of Dadu Village with Doctor Wang, and has been so busy that he hasn't had a moment to spare. I didn't expect to meet you like this today. I will make proper arrangements when I get back, and formally invite you to come another day."
After thinking for a moment, she made a decisive decision: "Since three renowned doctors are here today, I might as well have Chengyuan come over to examine me."
After saying that, she beckoned to the door, called over a servant, whispered a few words to him, and then picked up her teacup.
Seeing how decisive she was, Madam Yun didn't say anything more and invited her to try the food she had brought from home.
Madam Sun picked up a small steamed bun, put it in her mouth, and immediately felt a wonderful fragrance on her tongue, exclaiming in amazement.
Mrs. Su then jokingly brought up the joke from earlier, saying, "We were just thinking of opening a pastry shop, specializing in these kinds of snacks and food."
Madam Sun immediately became interested. "It just so happens that one of the shops that came with my dowry is not far away. It's a small shop selling candied fruit, and I'm finding it hard to keep it afloat. If we could switch to a pastry shop, it would be a perfect match! How about we cooperate? I'll provide the shop, and you can provide the pastry recipes. We'll cover the cost of ingredients and labor for the pastries separately, and we'll split it 50/50, how about that?"
The Su family members exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of Madam Sun's true intentions in showing such goodwill.
Xiao Youran smiled and said, "Mother, this Madam Sun is very lucky. Cooperating with her will only bring you benefits."
Madam Su, who had always mysteriously trusted her daughter, immediately made the decision, "Alright! Just as Madam Sun said!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Gu panicked, "Oh dear, I just paid one hundred taels of silver!"
Madam Su smiled, "Old Divine Doctor, we will never forget you! How about you take 10% of the shares, taking a portion from our 50%?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Gu realized that by investing one hundred taels of silver, he could acquire a ten percent stake.
The initial investment for a shop is definitely more than a thousand taels of silver; I've gotten a great deal!
He immediately nodded repeatedly, "My disciple's mother is too honest!"
Upon seeing this, Madam Sun quickly said, "If the old doctor wants to invest, it should be my side that contributes. How could I let you suffer a loss?"
After several discussions, Madam Sun remained resolute, and it was finally decided that she would take 40%, Madam Su 50%, and Doctor Gu 10%.
As they were talking, Sun Chengyuan arrived and greeted everyone in a circle.
Doctor Wang also came along.
Doctor Gu led Jiang Youchen and Xiao Youran to another table and sat them down. He then carefully examined Sun Chengyuan and adjusted the prescription.
Madam Sun happily took the prescription and handed it to the maid beside her to get the medicine. She then instructed her son to be a good host and happily led Madam Su and Zhao Mama to look at the shop.
Sun Chengyuan was very happy and bowed to the three doctors, saying, "My father once mentioned that after the New Year, when the seal is opened, he would like to invite the three doctors and their apprentices to go to Dadu Village to treat the villagers. Please do not refuse."
At this moment, Physician Wang quickly added, "In principle, Lord Sun should have personally invited you all to this matter, but today he is busy settling the children abducted from the temple by that thieving monk and interrogating that group of thieves, so he really can't spare the time. When I accompanied Young Master Sun here just now, Lord Sun specifically instructed me to ask the three of you not to refuse."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, “The villagers of Dadu Village have been suffering from this disease for a long time. It is better to do it sooner rather than later. Please tell me what medicinal materials need to be prepared in advance, little divine doctor.”
Several people's eyes were fixed intently on Xiao Youran.
Xiao You Ran was speechless.
Yueyue received a negative answer from her mother and came downstairs in great disappointment. Just then, she overheard this and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you all staring at Xiao Youran? You call her a little miracle doctor, but does she really mean she is?"
Sun Chengyuan nodded, "She's the little miracle doctor! She cured all my illnesses!"
Yueyue's eyes lit up again as she looked at Xiao Youran, "Youran, you can cure illnesses?!"
At this moment, Wen Yuanbai coughed lightly from the side.
Yueyue then ran over, "Cousin!"
Wen Yuanbai looked at Sun Chengyuan, frowned, and then looked at Yue Yue, "We should go."
Yueyue looked up and saw her mother and Aunt Jinxiu coming downstairs. She quickly hid behind Xiaoyouran, saying, "I want to go with Xiaoyouran!"
Xiao Youran looked at Doctor Wang, then at her brother.
Jiang Youchen understood immediately and said, "Doctor Wang, we'll go back and make some preparations today, and give you a definite answer tomorrow!"
Doctor Wang breathed a long sigh of relief. He was glad they hadn't refused outright. He quickly nodded in agreement, "These past few days, I've been staying in Jiuxiang Alley next to the county government office, entrusted by Magistrate Sun. I'll be waiting for your good news tomorrow!"
Sun Chengyuan stared longingly at Xiao Youran.
Wen Yuanbai frowned even more deeply. "Junior sister, junior brother, you should go back to Sanyang Village first. I'm afraid the elders in the village don't know that you've returned safely yet, and they're probably worried."
Yu Shi, who had been relatively unknown, along with Yun Tiankuang, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Liu, nodded frantically.
Xiao Youran glanced at Yueyue, who was still tugging at her sleeve, and nodded. "Let's go back to Sanyang Village first."
She doesn't have enough luck points in her bracelet to go to Dadu Village to treat the villagers!
I don't have enough luck points, and I can't exchange for enough medicine. What should I do?
She still needs to think of a way.
Sun Chengyuan was anxious. He hadn't even had a proper chat with Xiao Youran yet, how could he be separated from her so soon?
He racked his brains, then suddenly a brilliant idea struck him. He said, "Little Youran, thanks to your guidance last night, my father, along with the constables, rescued twenty or thirty girls from Yunfu Temple. They were all abducted during the Spring Festival, and we plan to send them all away in a few days. Also,"
He looked at Yueyue, "I heard that the group of thieving monks confessed that someone specifically requested that this young lady be handed over to the brothel madam. Doesn't Miss want to know who's behind this?"
Yueyue subconsciously looked at her mother.
The eldest princess also frowned, "In that case, we'll have no choice but to make a trip to the county government."
Aunt Jinxiu walked to her side and whispered, "Just now, Lord Sun only said he came to apologize, so he probably hasn't had time to interrogate those thieves yet. Your Highness, it's not advisable for you to get angry now. Why don't you settle down first, and wait until the interrogation is over and there's a conclusion before I go and find out more."
Upon hearing this, Sun Chengyuan quickly said, "The interrogation will take time, but two of those girls are from Wufeng County. When their families came to pick them up, they all said they wanted to thank their savior."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Youran immediately perked up.
This is a great time to gain luck points!
