854 Independent, conscienceless little thing

Yun Xiao had no idea that the Ninth Uncle was angry, and when he asked about it, he pointed to the glass bottle on the table and said excitedly, "This is it, Qingchen gave it to Concubine Xie to drink before.

"Really?" The Ninth Prince took it in his hand and played with it, sneering: "It's a good thing."

"It is indeed a good stuff. Recently, many people have been asking about this pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. If ordinary Bai Neng can also be bought, it will be a great good thing for pregnant women." In front of the Ninth Uncle, Yun Xiao never mentioned the matter of silver.

It is vulgar to ask for money, what they are doing is to benefit the people.

The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and responded without saying anything. Yun Xiao also understood and sat down obediently without saying anything more...

Feng Qingchen carried a big bag of medicine, all for Yun Xiao's mother. Yun Xiao was already twenty-six years old, and his mother must have been at least forty years old when she was pregnant. It is quite dangerous for elderly women to give birth now, not to mention the ancient people with underdeveloped medical care.

This pregnancy-stabilizing medicine can supplement trace elements. Although it does not have such an exaggerated effect, it is better to drink it than not to drink it. It is beneficial to the mother and baby and has no harm.

When Feng Qingchen came in, the first thing she saw was the Ninth Uncle. She discovered that the Ninth Uncle seemed unhappy. Feng Qingchen did not dare to say much. She greeted him and quickly negotiated the price with Yun Xiao so that she could send Yun Xiao out.

The price is very simple. A box of glass bottles contains thirty tablets, and one box costs one hundred taels of silver, which is a month's supply. A box of bags contains two bags, which is also a month's supply. Feng Qingchen originally wanted to set a low price of a few hundred coins so that ordinary people could afford it, but what Yun Xiao said made sense. If the price was too low, people would not dare to buy it and would think that the medicine was not effective.

This is the mentality of consumers. Without understanding, they assume that expensive things are good things. Feng Qingchen had no choice but to choose a price that both she and Yun Xiao could accept, one or two taels of silver per box. Poor families definitely couldn't afford it, but ordinary people could barely afford it.

As for the box that cost one hundred taels of silver, ninety-nine taels of it was the price of the glass bottle. Later, a collecting craze arose in the market. Many people bought the pregnancy-preserving medicine just for the glass, gave it to others to drink, and kept the empty glass bottle. Of course, this is a story for later.

After the price was set, Feng Qingchen mentioned another point, that is, pregnant women from poor families could go to the Yun family pharmacy to apply for a free share. After verification by the doctor, if it is confirmed that the pregnant woman has this need, the Yun family pharmacy will provide it free of charge, and the cost will be borne by Feng Qingchen.

The person responsible for verifying and distributing free pregnancy-stabilizing drugs will be sent jointly by the Yun family and Feng Qingchen. He or she must register the details of the applicants for the free drugs to facilitate future verification.

Yun Xiao had no objection. Anyway, he could earn fame and it would not affect his interests. However, there was a lot of money to be made here, so Yun Xiao said that he would go back to discuss a detailed set of rules.

Feng Qingchen knew how much profit there was in distributing things for free. After all, she had heard about the affairs of a certain cross society.

After the deal was concluded in a concise and clear manner, Yun Xiao couldn't wait to return to the Yun family to report the good news to everyone in the Yun family. Feng Qingchen looked at his Ninth Uncle and asked, "Can Yun Xiao leave now?"

The Ninth Prince nodded. Even if he said nothing, Yun Xiao knew how to keep secrets. Besides, the Yun family still had to rely on Feng Qingchen, so the Yun family would not do anything that would harm others and benefit themselves.

Yun Xiao left, and the servants also left tactfully, leaving the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingfa alone.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Feng Qingchen personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to the Ninth Uncle.

"Hmph." The Ninth Prince picked up the tea and took a sip. His anger finally subsided a little.

Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows: "Who provoked you? Xiling Tianyu or me? I don't think I did anything?"

Feng Qingchen didn't think that the Ninth Uncle was petty and was fussing with her about Wang Jinling.

"When did you become so close to the Yun family?" The Ninth Prince knew Feng Qingchen's mind. If he didn't tell her, Feng Qingchen would never know it in her life.

It is estimated that Feng Qingchen and his gang have long forgotten that the Yun family proposed to her.

"Before entering the palace, Yun Xiao came to me and asked me to be the Yun family's chief physician, and I agreed." Feng Qingchen didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She was not the Ninth Prince's property. She had the right to make friends, and there was no need for her to report everything to the Ninth Prince.

"The Yun family's offering doctor? The Yun family is no longer as powerful as before. The Yun family offers you offerings just to make a profit from you." Although the Ninth Prince was dissatisfied, he did not force Feng Qingchen to terminate his relationship with the Yun family's offering doctor.

"The Yun family has no benefits to gain, so they won't do it. This kind of thing is mutually beneficial. Who would do something without benefits? The Yun family wants to make a profit from me, so why not use the Yun family's brand?" Medicine and pharmacy are inseparable, and only mutual benefit can go further.

"I can help you with anything you get from the Yun family. Instead of cooperating with the Yun family, you might as well cooperate with Su Wenqing. The Su family's pharmacy is not bad either." After all the talk, the Ninth Prince was still unhappy. Feng Qingchen didn't think of him when she needed help, and didn't think of him when she had good things.

Feng Qingchen considered cooperating with Su Wenqing, but compared to her, Feng Qingchen still felt that the Yun family was better: "The Yun family only deals in medicinal materials, and Su Wenqing's business is too diverse. I will get nothing from cooperating with her except profit. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. I don't think there is anything wrong with the Yun family. The Yun family is the most suitable for me. Besides, if the Yun family had not declined, the Yun family would not have taken a fancy to me."

"So, you signed a cooperation contract with the Yun family without letting anyone know. If I hadn't seen it, you would not have planned to tell me." The Ninth Prince felt so upset. He was the last one to know about Feng Qingchen's affairs.

It was true that she had no intention of telling Uncle Nine. Feng Qingchen did not think that this matter had anything to do with Uncle Nine. Feng Qingchen looked at Uncle Nine steadily and said seriously, "Uncle Nine, do I have to tell you first and get your consent before I do anything?"

"That would be best." Although he knew that Feng Qingchen was speaking in a sarcastic way, the Ninth Prince still agreed. He hoped that Feng Qingchen could rely on him more and be closer to him.

Humph... Feng Qingchen sneered: "Ninth Uncle, what identity do you use to ask me? I have to ask for your consent for everything, then what about you? Will you ask for my consent before doing anything?"

She knew that she should not demand equal treatment, but she was angry. She had never interfered or asked about the life and private affairs of the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince wanted to interfere in her life and make her depend on him like a vine and unable to live without him. This was too much.

She, Feng Qingchen, is not Dong Lingjiu's wife or concubine. Their relationship is just that of lovers, which is not protected by the law and not blessed by the world. Such a relationship is weak, and the Ninth Prince has no right to ask her to do so.

"This is different." He admired Feng Qingchen's strength and independence, but the man's deep-rooted ideas made him think that Feng Qingchen should depend on him, should discuss everything with him, or at least let him know what she was doing and who she was associating with.

Feng Qingchen did not argue, nor did he talk to the Ninth Uncle about gender equality. Gender equality has not been truly realized now or in the future. Feng Qingchen said seriously: "Ninth Uncle, I can't do all of what you said above. I am not only Feng Qingchen, I am also the master of Feng Mansion. I carry the entire Feng Mansion on my shoulders.

As the head of the family, I must have my own judgment, vision and position. I cannot follow your arrangements in everything, even if you are doing it for my own good.

As the master of Feng Mansion, I must grow up, even if my hair bleeds, it doesn't matter, this is what I must bear as the head of the family."

Seeing that the Ninth Uncle was silent, Feng Qingchen knew that he was still insisting, so he simply said it firmly: "Ninth Uncle, no matter what happens in the future, when I am still the master of Feng Mansion, the only person who can be my master is myself. I have the right to decide how I want to live and the right to deal with matters related to myself."

Obey your father at home, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death. Feng Qingchen has no father, no husband, and no son. No matter what etiquette is used to judge her, it is of no use. She, Feng Qingchen, has never been bound by etiquette.

Besides, if she changed, would she still be Feng Qingchen? She loved the Ninth Prince, but she was not so humble as to abandon her own nature for the Ninth Prince and become the person the Ninth Prince wanted.

The Ninth Prince recognized that Feng Qingchen's words made sense, but...

"Feng Qingchen, I will not harm you. This is for your own good."

She never doubted anyone about this, but: "Uncle Nine, what you think is good is not what I want. This is my life, my living."

Seeing that the Ninth Emperor's face had turned green, Feng Qingchen sighed and said softly, "Ninth Emperor, if I have to ask you about everything, report everything to you, and do whatever you tell me to do, then I'm not Feng Qingchen, but a puppet in your hands. Is that the Feng Qingchen you want?"

She also hoped that the Ninth Prince would be more gentle and considerate, be able to accompany her all the time, say sweet words to her every day, and give her little surprises every now and then. She would coax her even if she was a little bit temperamental. But if the Ninth Prince became like this, would he still be the Ninth Prince that she liked?

No, so...even if she wanted to, she had never thought of changing the Ninth Prince, making the Ninth Prince change his original character for her.

Similarly, the Ninth Prince could not force her to do so. Do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you.

Feng Qingchen looked at the Ninth Uncle, waiting for his answer. The Ninth Uncle was speechless and just looked at Feng Qingchen without saying anything.

Feng Qingchen was right. If Feng Qingchen had no opinion and depended on him, what was the difference between her and Qin Baoer? Would he still like Feng Qingchen like that?

The Ninth Prince discovered that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. He hoped that Feng Qingchen would pay more attention to him, rely on him more, and be inseparable from him, but he forgot about him and always liked the independent and strong Feng Qingchen.

He needs to think about this matter carefully. Feng Qingchen, this heartless little man, doesn't appreciate his kindness at all, and it's hard to convince him...

The Ninth Prince closed his eyes and tapped the armrest with his fingers. People who knew him well knew that he was thinking about something. Feng Qingchen remained silent and sat aside to accompany the Ninth Prince.

She believed that the Ninth Prince would figure it out...
