Upon hearing the noise, Gong also hurried out.
Upon seeing Mu Run's attire and her angelic beauty, they couldn't help but be amazed. "If this were outside, I wouldn't recognize Xiao Xiao."
"Sister-in-law, you're teasing me too." Mu Run smiled and scolded, then walked closer to Su's mother and reached out to take the chives from her hand. "Let me help."
"No, no, no, just sit down. Shaoqian's mother, please bring Xiaoxiao a chair."
"Then I'll start the fire."
"No need for that." Madam Gong brought over a chair. "Please sit down. Your brother went to the Prince's Mansion twice these past few days, but he didn't see you. Later, my brother-in-law said you went to look at the shops. Did it go well?"
Mu Run had already exchanged statements with Shi Xuan and replied with a smile, "He wanted to rent an inn in Youcheng. I went to take a look and inquired about it. I found out that the inn had been involved in a lawsuit before, so I was a little uncomfortable and didn't settle on it. It was a wasted trip."
“We can’t accept shops that have been involved in accidents,” Su’s mother replied. “Let’s look at the others. There are plenty of shops in good locations that are thriving.”
“Exactly.” Mu Run grabbed a handful of chives and picked them as he spoke. “Shi Xuan told me today that he doesn’t have much time to manage his shops in the capital. He wanted to ask if you’re busy with your job at the Yan residence. If you’re not, he’d like you to go and check on the shops.”
Su Qi wanted to start a business, and Shi Xuan happened to be short-handed. Although using relatives might damage relationships due to conflicting interests, there were many benefits if they got along well.
Madam Gong's eyes lit up, and she immediately replied, "No, no, your brother is very free every day. He used to work for the eldest young master and did quite well. But recently the eldest young master was transferred to another post, and your brother didn't go with him because of our family. Now he has a leisurely job in the manor. Sometimes he doesn't go for a day or two, and no one asks about it."
Mu Run frowned. "So you're not planning to give my elder brother a second chance?"
Mother Su nodded, "Who says otherwise? Otherwise, would the Princess Consort dare to treat you like this? Fortunately, this child was quite good when he was young."
Gong looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mu Run could tell, "What does sister-in-law want to say?"
Gong looked at Su's mother and, seeing that she did not stop her, said, "We are slaves."
"What?" Mu Run asked in surprise, "Hasn't the family freed the slaves yet?"
"Your father went to talk to the master about this today, I don't know if it went well."
"Hmm." Mu Run thought of something, put down the chives she had picked, then took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Su's mother, "Mother, this is for you."
Su's mother took it, opened it, and saw that inside were two beautiful jade bottles.
The jade is of excellent quality, crystal clear. Putting everything else aside, this bottle alone is worth a considerable amount of silver. Inside are some small white spheres.
"This is?"
"These are pills inside. If you or Dad get sick, like with a headache or fever, you can take them. Take one pill once a day. If it's Shaoqian, he can take half a pill." This is the medicine that Mu Run had Gu Dong prepare. Difficult and complicated illnesses require targeted treatment, but it can be used for common colds and fevers.
"Where did you buy it?" Gong asked. "How much did it cost? I'll give it to you."
Mu Run quickly replied, "No need, it wasn't me who spent it, it was a gift from your son-in-law."
Upon hearing that it was prepared by Shi Xuan, Madam Gong smiled and said, "That's right, Mother, please accept it."
Looking at the jade bottle in her hand, Su's mother said, "This is truly a precious medicine."
"The bottle looks impressive, but you should take the medicine when you need it and not try to save it. Also, it's not like it won't spoil in a long time. It's fine for the first three years, but don't take it after that."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Su's mother smiled and put it away.
Su's father returned, but his expression was somewhat complicated...
