"If Miss Qingwan has any further requests, please feel free to give them to this old servant."
Lin Qingwan deliberately gave Granny Lai a hard time yesterday, hoping to use her to demand someone back. And with the Prime Minister's favor, even if her mother was dissatisfied, she only allowed Rong Ma to say a few words.
"Thank you for your concern, Mother. That's enough."
When Rong Ma realized that she wasn't just being polite, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After Rong Ma left, Mu Xue said, "Miss, it's that old woman Lai talking badly about you again. I'll tell the Prime Minister to just have her beaten to death."
Lin Qingwan didn't take it to heart. "I just want someone else to share your burdens. That's enough to achieve my goal."
Mu Xue's heart softened. "Miss... this servant is not tired."
“Lai Pozi is not good at doing those chores outside, and you can’t do anything about it. The people on Madam’s side are better, so you can help me in the house with peace of mind.”
Mu Xue's eyes reddened, "Thank you for your trust, Miss!"
Lin Qingwan can't go out much right now, so she needs someone she can trust to help her deal with the pharmacies. She made an agreement with the shopkeeper last time that he would provide a prescription every two weeks, and in addition to the agreed-upon payment, he could also freely take the shop's medicinal herbs to help her prepare pills to control the toxins.
Lin Qingwan's adoptive father was a medicine merchant who traveled all year round to places like southern Xinjiang and even went to sea. When she left, she only took her adoptive father's notes and medical books with her.
The miraculous recipes inside all originated from southern Xinjiang, something the pharmacy owner desperately wanted.

Lin Qingwan got up early and wrote two calligraphy samples, and Mu Xue brought in breakfast.
"No wonder the courtyard has been quiet these past two days. It turns out that the young lady developed a rash and even after using Qionglu Ointment for several days, it didn't get better. The family doctor wouldn't let her go out in the wind."
"Madam's headache has also flared up."
Lin Qingwan thought to herself, no wonder she has been living peacefully these past few days.
After discovering that Granny Lai was putting things in her food, Lin Qingwan stopped letting her have any contact with her daily meals.
Granny Lai then came up with another idea: "Miss, the physician said that the ointment will be changed today. The eldest young lady has some matters to attend to and cannot leave, so he sent the apprentice to deliver it."
Lin Qingwan lowered her head and ate her meal. "Bring it in."
As soon as Granny Lai entered, she smelled the fragrance of ointment. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the scar on Lin Qingwan's arm, which had been conspicuous just two days ago, had been reduced to a thin line.
Mu Xue was tidying up the medicine bottles. "The prince's ointment is really good. It tastes good and works even better."
Granny Lai was itching to hear more. When she went to Huaguang Courtyard that morning, she heard Jiang Yanwan complaining about the rash that hadn't gone away.
Then Lin Qingwan said to Muxue, "When the physician comes again, ask if any of these medicines can help relieve Mother's headache. If so, I will send them over."
