Chapter 308: The Worst of Evils



Lin Mingzhu was extremely angry. "How could such a thing exist in the world? It's really disgusting!"

She is a doctor. Even if she has great medical skills, she can cure people's physical illnesses, but she can't cure the evil in people's hearts.  Song Ruoxue shook her head, "It's not just that. The family finally couldn't bear it and gave the prescription to the Chamber of Commerce. They thought they could have a few days of peace, but they didn't expect that the Chamber of Commerce would get the prescription and forbid them to sell the golden wound medicine. The family's main business is the golden wound medicine. How can they make a living if they don't sell it?"

Lin Mingzhu was not a person who expressed her emotions openly. After hearing this, she slammed the table in anger.

Song Ruoxue said: "The people from the Chamber of Commerce took the cheap raw materials and the effective prescription to make the golden wound medicine, and the family could only make the golden wound medicine they used to make. The one that was cheap and effective was naturally chosen by the people, and the family's life became increasingly difficult. In the end, they had no choice but to secretly make the golden wound medicine, but they were still arrested by the Chamber of Commerce for selling fake medicine."

Song Ruoxue opened the window and pointed to a young man tending to herbs in the herb field outside. "This is the young master of the herb shop. It was only two years ago. His father has been released from prison, but unfortunately he is ill. The family dares not get involved in the herb business anymore. Fortunately, our college has started recruiting students this year. If the young master studies hard, he will have a chance to revive the family business in the future."

Lin Mingzhu sighed when she heard this, "Driven by profit, they actually ruined the lives of an entire family."

Song Ruoxue said: "We don't know who is backing this Chamber of Commerce. They can do such a thing and still stand firm. The strength behind them should not be underestimated. But we don't have to be afraid of this Chamber of Commerce." After all, the backers behind them are the strongest in the world.

Lin Mingzhu's face still looked bad.

The two of them had spent quite a lot of time together during this period. Song Ruoxue knew that Sister Lin was also a person who hated evil, so she said, "We don't want to provoke others to cause trouble when we do something like this. But if it was President Wang of the Chamber of Commerce who took the initiative to pick a fight with us and used the same old trick to put the incident back then on us, then that would be really bad."

Lin Mingzhu nodded. Seeing that her expression was still heavy, Song Ruoxue could only coax her: "Okay, Sister Lin, don't think so much. Now, the important thing for you is to think about how to teach today's class. Leave the rest to me."

Lin Mingzhu also nodded.

After sending Lin Mingzhu away, Song Ruoxue's face turned cold. She looked at the letter sent by President Wang of the Chamber of Commerce inviting them to join the Chamber of Commerce, and directly wrote a letter to refuse. She also said: "If they come again next time, they will not be allowed to come in. No one can hear it."

The servant naturally nodded.

After doing this, Song Ruoxue felt a little worried. After all, the Wang family was quite powerful. So she went back to the Song family and told her family about this.

Song's mother was the most frightened, because she knew the lesson of the past and was afraid that her family would be implicated, so she said, "Since something like this has happened, it would be proper to tell the queen right away. Of course, the queen will have a way to solve it."

After she said that, not only Song Ruoxue who was full of confidence and wanted to do great things with her own abilities, but even Song Zhi disagreed.

However, this kind of thing cannot be said in front of Song Ruoxue. He just told Song Ruoxue, "Now that you know to tell your family as soon as possible when something happens, it means that you are much more cautious. You can handle this matter however you want. Our Song family will naturally stand on the side of our family. However, you must always put your own safety first in everything."

Seeing her brother supporting her, Song Ruoxue nodded happily, and then was about to leave again, "I came back to tell you about this matter. I'm still busy there. Now that you all know, I'll go back first."

Song's mother was a little anxious, "You've only been here for a short time and you're leaving. You haven't even gotten married yet and you're not home all day..." But before she could finish her words, the person had already run away.

Seeing the people walking away, Song looked at her son again, "Why are you so angry with her? She is lawless to begin with. If she has offended someone, we don't know about it. I think it's better to tell the queen in advance..."

Song Zhi said: "Mother, do you really think that if something like this happened, the Queen wouldn't know about it?"

Mother Song smiled, "You are talking nonsense. Although we all wish the Queen a thousand years every day, how can a mortal live a thousand years? She is not a deity, so how can she know everything?"

Song Zhi said: "Even gods may not be able to be good at everything. Mother, the ability of this queen is beyond your and my imagination..." He only recently learned by chance that the boss behind the textile factory run by his eldest brother in Jiangnan was actually the current queen, Shen Qingqiu.

Not to mention how many families doubled their wealth thanks to the textile industry, the queen was able to control many things invisibly because of the intricate secret relationships. Back then, the queen was able to change the textile industry ruled by Princess Changping on her own, and now she has the ability to change the face of Jiang Medical City.

Now that she has chosen her younger sister to do the job, it may be a test for her.

You have to know that there are not many males in the Marquis' Mansion. It is unknown how many years it will take for Shen Qingqiu's younger brother Tuan Ge'er to grow up, but now Gu Shaohe is already a handsome man. I am afraid that in the next ten years, it will be up to Gu Shaohe to support the face of this generation of young people in the Marquis' Mansion. If this is a test set by the Queen herself for her brother to marry a new wife.

It was wrong for the younger sister to go directly to the queen for help without doing anything.

Song Zhi told his mother about his concerns. His mother thought what her son said made sense, but she was still afraid of danger.

"But our family is not in a high position. Although your sister and the Marquis are going to get engaged, the marriage has not been finalized yet. Besides, the Queen Mother has not shown any intimacy with Shaohe on weekdays. What if the backer of the Wang family gets angry about your sister's behavior and attacks our family? What should we do?"

Song's mother's worries were unfounded. Apart from the incident with the owner of the medicine shop, just over four years ago, a seventh-rank county magistrate had a run-in with the Chamber of Commerce and his family was ruined.

Their family was of course much higher in rank than a seventh-rank county magistrate, but after all, they were not a family with complicated roots in the capital. If a family of integrity like theirs really got into trouble and ended up in a lawsuit, they would have nowhere to turn to for help and nowhere to inquire in the government office.

Song Zhi just smiled and shook his head, "Mom, you are really worrying too much. If that family really has no scruples, our family may be implicated, but have you forgotten who is behind my sister? If it really comes to this, the queen will not sit idly by."

Song's mother was relieved and glared at her son again, "You talk to your father the same way. Can't you just say all these words at once? Just tell me that there is absolutely nothing bad going on in our family. Why should I worry so much?"

Song Zhi said: "I was afraid that you didn't understand, so I wanted to explain it to you clearly, didn't I?"

Song's mother glared at him, "Why should I listen to all this? If I have some spare time, I might as well use it to make some dowry for your sister?"

Song Zhi could only laugh and cry.

At this time, the Chamber of Commerce on the other side naturally also received Song Ruoxue's letter. Seeing that she actually refused to join the Chamber of Commerce, not only President Wang, but everyone else had a bad expression on their face.

"It's already laughable that a lady from a wealthy family who stays in the boudoir is out in the open doing business and practicing medicine. But she even refused President Wang's invitation to join the association without knowing the consequences. She is really a fool. She won't even know how she died!" Someone in the audience flattered President Wang.

President Wang shook his head, sighed, and said, "This matter is not that simple. This girl is the eldest daughter of the Song family. The Song family has been a rising star in the past two years and has a bright future. It is not that easy to deal with."

Someone smiled softly, "She is just a new noble, and her power has not yet risen. Even if she is not so easy to deal with, we have to deal with her. We can't let this girl block our way to wealth, right?"

President Wang said, "Of course. This girl has found so many people to study medicine and opened a medicine field. The cheap herbs are equivalent to free medicine. Now the business of each business is reduced by two-thirds!"

The medicinal materials business supplies many dignitaries, but the number of dignitaries who can afford to buy supplements like ginseng and deer antlers can be counted on one hand, even in the capital, not to mention that no one can eat these all day long. Most of them are the poor people who need to buy medicine to treat diseases.

Over the past decade, the Chamber of Commerce has controlled all the trends of medicinal materials, and even prohibited vendors from setting up stalls on the street. It has made a lot of money and expanded to its current position. Maybe it started out to benefit the people, but now it has obviously become a venomous snake that sucks the blood of the people.

This is also the real purpose of Shen Qingqiu doing this. It is to solve the people's immediate problems. If he can take this opportunity to pull out this poisonous snake, it would be the best.

Gu Yanwei has just ascended the throne, and the political situation has just stabilized a lot. If a war is launched at this time, it will probably cause panic among the people in the court, causing the people to spontaneously boycott, and finally causing this chamber of commerce to come to an end.

Shen Qingqiu was thinking that now that Gu Yanwei had ascended the throne, she would not think about the bad things of the previous dynasty, and she was too lazy to care about those things. If the people behind the Chamber of Commerce could be honest and not make any moves, then everyone would be fine. After all, they had made so much money over the years, and they should be content.

But if she is still greedy and refuses to be satisfied, then she will have to uproot her.

Chairman Wang and others didn't know that they were already being boiled like frogs in warm water. His son even wanted to jump out to test the temperature. "This little girl is ignorant. Why don't we call someone who has a say in the Song family? I don't believe that he wouldn't be tempted by such a large sum of money in front of him."
