By noon, the snow had become much lighter, but the day was still gloomy.
There is still half a month before Leng Yu ascends the throne as emperor. During this period, there are many things to prepare.
Luo Lan had just returned from the palace. She went to see the palace embroiderer embroidering the dresses she and Leng Yu would wear on the day of their coronation. After making some suggestions, she hurried back.
During this period, she had to make arrangements for the servants in Prince Yu's Mansion. They couldn't all follow her into the palace, so she could only send some of them away first and leave two people to take care of the place.
She also had to deal with the affairs of Huichun Hall. Although Leng Yu promised her that she could leave the palace at will after entering, she knew in her heart that when she first entered the palace, there would be many troublesome matters to deal with, and she would not have the time to leave the palace to take care of Huichun Hall.
Besides, when she becomes the queen of Daning Kingdom, she will be criticized for coming to Huichuntang to see patients. She doesn't care because she doesn't want to cause trouble for Leng Yu.
So, after careful consideration, she decided to sell Huichuntang.
Just as she was thinking about this, Luo Xue walked in quickly. Before she even got close, she couldn't wait to say:
"Sister, I heard you're planning to sell Huichuntang?"
Seeing her coming, Luo Lan's heart suddenly became more open. She quickly gestured for her to sit down. Seeing her anxious face flushed with anxiety, she couldn't help but scold her:
"Look how anxious you are! It's winter and your face is sweating. What's going on?"
Luo Xue took a few breaths and waved her hands.
"Quick, have someone take down the notice that Huichuntang is for sale. I'm buying this shop."
"You plate?"
Luo Lan looked at her with surprise.
"In recent years, Prince Ming's business has expanded to include cloth shops, grain stores, restaurants, and banks. Do you still want to open a clinic?"
While she was talking, Luo Xue picked up a glass of water and drank two gulps, then said:
"If you hadn't opened a clinic in the capital, I would have opened a herbal medicine shop long ago. As long as there's money to be made, I'll do it. So, I'll pay you whatever you want for Huichuntang, and you don't have to move any of the staff there."
Looking at Luo Xue's anxious look, Luo Lan shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"Alright, I'll sell it to you. I'll take 30% off your silver. The other 70% will remain with Huichuntang as emergency funds for the people. When Huichuntang encounters poor patients, we'll only charge a nominal consultation fee, and the medicine costs will also be lower. This money will come from my 70% of silver. We must ensure that every citizen can afford medical treatment."
"sister……"
Luo Xue looked at Luo Lan with some confusion.
"This is not a small amount of money. Are you really not going to take it back? Does my brother-in-law agree?"
"That's what he meant. He knows Huichuntang is my life's work, and I built it to make medical care affordable for the people. He won't object. If you agree, let Ali draw up a contract, and we'll both sign it, and it'll take effect immediately."
Luo Xue pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Well, since you are so generous, I can't hold you back. Let's do as you say!"
Luo Lan showed a relieved smile and then said:
"When I entered the palace this morning, I heard that Prince Xi's Mansion had reported to the Emperor that Yu Qiaoqiao was pregnant. Have you heard about it?"
Luo Xue shrugged and nodded, saying, "I've heard about it. I guess everyone in the city knows about it. Leng Xi is really quite flamboyant about this matter. It seems like the people from Prince Xi's Mansion went out of their way to publicize it."
"This is also a good thing. Perhaps their relationship has eased."
"Easy ass."
Luo Xue snorted disdainfully.
"We were having dinner here on the first day of the new year, didn't you notice? They were like strangers, no one would even glance at each other, and now she's suddenly pregnant. This seems a bit strange to me."
Luo Lan smiled indifferently and said:
"I don't think so. When a man and a woman are together for a long time and are husband and wife, it's inevitable that they will do things that couples do. What's so strange about getting pregnant? Do you think others are like you, who have to cultivate feelings before they can sleep in the same bed?"
Luo Xue secretly stuck out her tongue and looked at her a little embarrassedly.
"Speaking of this, I remembered that Leng Ming has been going crazy lately, insisting on having more children. Every time we sleep together, I have to secretly drink contraceptive soup. It's too troublesome, and he could easily find out. Sister, you're a miracle doctor, can you give me a simple way to stop me from getting pregnant again? I don't want to go through another life-and-death ordeal. Besides, I have so much business to deal with, how can I have time to have children?"
Luo Lan sighed in disappointment and said anxiously:
"There is a way, but if Leng Ming finds out, he will blame me. You must not let him know."
"Don't worry, he's just an ox that only knows how to plow the fields. He has no idea why the land doesn't bear fruit. Ever since Xin'er was born, I haven't gotten pregnant again. He has been blaming himself for this, thinking it's his fault."
Speaking of this, she stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, and Luo Lan couldn't help laughing:
"Then what you did is a bit unkind. You should have a good talk with him later. You already have feelings for each other, so it's understandable that you don't want to have another one."
"He's a completely unreasonable person. He said he wanted me to give him another son. He would feel ashamed if he didn't have one, but I refused to give him one."
Looking at Luo Xue's aggressive look, Luo Lan held his chin in his hand and pondered for a while before saying directly:
"If you want to use contraception, why not tell me earlier? Why bother drinking that contraceptive soup? I've developed a contraceptive pill. Just take one pill a month and it'll be fine..."
"Really? That's great! That contraceptive soup makes me want to throw up."
Luo Lan sighed and blamed again:
"You are so stupid. Your sister is a doctor. You should have asked me about this kind of thing a long time ago. I thought you wanted to continue having children, so I didn't dare to mention it to you at all."
Luo Xue blushed and chuckled shyly:
"I was afraid you would say I was selfish, so I didn't dare tell you."
"This isn't selfish. Women aren't reproductive machines. They can do whatever they want. If you want to have a baby, no one can stop you. If you don't want to, no one has the right to stop you either. But I must remind you that if a woman is over 35 and wants to have a child, it will be dangerous. If you still want to add another child to Prince Ming's palace, give birth as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't have any more children."
Luo Lan's words made Luo Xue pause. It was not that she didn't want to have another child, she just felt that she had too many things to do, and having a child would delay many things.
But if the facts are really as Luo Lan said, she really needs to think carefully about whether she should give birth to a child for Leng Ming while she is still in good health.
Luo Xue's eyes darkened for a moment, and she nodded and replied:
"Sister, I will think about this matter carefully. By the way, when I came here just now, I saw Huaiyu go out. Where did he go?"
