Chapter 371 What Bitten Me?
"Recently, quite a few people have come to the workshop to look at the medicine. Although we haven't let them in, it's still a bit chaotic."
I'm thinking, shouldn't we also set up a large pharmacy wholesale center in the city, so that it's more convenient for out-of-town merchants to buy medicine, and they won't all be crowding here?
“You’re right, that’s how it should be done. You can decide for yourself,” Lu Qingqing said.
"You are the owner of the workshop. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me for advice. You don't need to ask me anything else."
"What do you mean? How come I'm the master now?" Lu Yun frowned.
"It's you! I practice medicine, you make medicine. Don't bother me again unless it's absolutely necessary!"
After saying that, Lu Qingqing stretched and yawned, "I don't care anymore! I don't care anymore!! I feel so light and carefree without any worries!"
Lu Yun is perfectly capable of handling things on his own, so she doesn't need to worry about him at all.
I don't want to burden myself with any extra work!
Lu Qingqing ignored Lu Yun and went inside.
It was already dark, and Qiaoxiu hadn't gone home yet; she was playing with Qingyao here.
The two of them were looking at something under the candlelight. As soon as they heard the door open, Qiaoxiu grabbed something and stuffed it into her arms.
"I'm going home!"
Then it ran off like a gust of wind.
Qingyao quickly took off her shoes, climbed into bed, and covered herself with the blanket.
"Sister Qingqing." Qingyao showed half of her rosy face and blinked her beautiful eyes to greet her.
"Hmm, what were you two doing just now?" Lu Qingqing knew Qingyao was timid, so her voice was calm and casual.
The two of them looked like they had just done something wrong.
Qiaoxiu probably wouldn't dare to teach anything recklessly, right?
"No, no..." Qingyao swallowed, her voice muffled: "It's just... I was looking at the medical book you wrote... about women's childbirth."
Now, all she could think about were Qiaoxiu's words, spoken in a low voice: "That's it... you're finished. Someone will sprout something in your belly and try to chat you up with ill intentions. Ignore them. That's what they're all thinking about..."
Qingyao covered her head.
Lu Qingqing smiled. So that's how it is.
That explains it; the illustrations on it depict how babies are conceived, which might make unmarried young women feel shy.
Lu Qingqing lifted the blanket, looked at the shy Qingyao, and touched her face.
"it's beautiful!"
This skin.
Tsk tsk.
I'm thinking of the prince again.
Why.
"Borrowing someone's memory to think of them is ultimately superficial."
Qingyao shrank back, puzzled: "What did you say, sister?"
"They say you and your brother are both great beauties."
Lu Qingqing got into bed, and the two lay together. "Come on, tell me, what was your brother like when he was a child?"
"My Crown Prince brother?" Qingyao exhaled softly.
Then he began to praise: "My Crown Prince is like a god descended to earth! Wherever he goes, even the most beautiful things pale in comparison. Everyone wants to get close to him, and even the palace maids tremble with excitement when they see him..."
He was gentle in temperament, never beat or scolded the palace servants, and was diligent in his studies, respecting his teachers... but that old scoundrel, the Grand Tutor..."
Lu Qingqing: "..."
Xiao Qingyao is funny when she praises people, and she's also adorable when she scolds them.
He cursed the traitorous Grand Tutor, and then he cursed Yan Mingyuan.
"He was tricked by his elder brother during a martial arts competition and almost lost his arm. It was only because his elder brother, the Crown Prince, shot him with an arrow as a warning that he was not crippled. Knowing his situation, the Crown Prince could not bear to see his talent go to waste, so he selected him to enter the palace as a companion to his studies."
All the other study companions were sons of high-ranking officials, but he was a son of a concubine. His elder brother, the Crown Prince, treated him as a friend, but he turned around and lied to his brother, saying that he had been poisoned by Consort Rong, and lured his brother there. What an ingrate…”
Ji Qingyao brought up Ji Canglin again with disgust.
"He's a worm in the gutter! His elder brother, the Crown Prince, had the servant who bullied him beaten to death and protected him for years, and he turned around and stole his brother's throne, moved into his brother's palace, and smashed everything inside..."
Jealousy. He was jealous of his elder brother, the Crown Prince, for his upright character and the love and respect he received from everyone.
He was jealous that his brother was born to the principal wife, while he himself was born to a lowly maid.
Lu Qingqing still had a smile on her lips, but a chill had already gathered in her eyes.
It's true that kindness is often taken advantage of.
Lu Qingqing didn't blame Ji Ruyan for having the heart of a bodhisattva despite being the crown prince.
This is his nature.
Just like now, after going through a lot of hardships, he has become sharp and has developed some edges, but his underlying nature remains kind.
This is not his fault.
The ones who are wrong are those ungrateful, treacherous, and petty people who disregard right and wrong for their own selfish desires.
These damn things!
Qingyao was unaware of Ji Ruyan's background and thought he was the Empress's son.
And as for herself, it seems that neither of them were born to the Empress. No mother would be so heartless to her own children.
Who is Qingyao's biological mother?
Lu Qingqing asked gently, "How did Qingyao get her injuries?"
Qingyao covered her face with the blanket again, her voice becoming muffled.
"Ji Canglin asked me to marry into a foreign land."
He said that my brother, the Crown Prince, loves me so much, and asked me to guess whether he would come to save me.
"He said that if his brother came to save us, he would shoot his brother and me together so that we could be good siblings again in our next life."
“I was afraid that my brother, the Crown Prince, would come for me, so I stabbed myself.”
After a long while, Lu Qingqing sighed and reached out to embrace Qingyao.
Silly girl.
That beast Ji Canglin! She really wanted to stand in front of him right now and skin him alive, piece by piece!
"Sister Qingqing..." Qingyao murmured again.
"I tried to commit suicide but failed; it was Sister Jing Shu who saved me. She told me that Ji Canglin was just trying to scare me, and that I should live well because her brother would come to save me."
"Sister Jing Shu?"
“Sister Jing Shu…yes, she is Prime Minister Shen’s daughter.”
Qingyao felt a little guilty, wondering if her sister Qingqing had heard any rumors.
"Oh, thank goodness she saved you. Don't do anything foolish in the future. You underestimate your Crown Prince brother too much," Lu Qingqing said seriously.
Qingyao gave a soft "Mmm".
"Sister Qingqing, could you write a letter to the Crown Prince and ask him to save Sister Jingshu? Otherwise, Ji Canglin will kill her..."
"Once you get her out, you don't have to worry about her anymore, okay? Is that alright?"
Qingyao buried her entire head under the covers, as if she were too ashamed to face her.
Lu Qingqing pulled the blanket down: "Don't sleep with your head down. Someone saved your life, so of course you should repay them. I'll write a letter to your brother tomorrow."
"Sister Qingqing, you are so kind!"
The little princess smiled happily and went to sleep contentedly.
Lu Qingqing also lay down.
The night passed quickly.
Lu Qingqing had been thinking about this all day and had another erotic dream.
And the things that Qiaoxiu told her ultimately attacked Qingyao in her dreams.
A voice kept saying: Be careful of men. When a man's eyes are on you, he's thinking about how to sleep with you!
the next day.
Qu Yiran and her mother came to the Lu family to learn how to make the seasoning for hot pot.
Lu Qingqing not only wrote down several flavors of ingredients for her, but also to meet the different needs of the guests.
He even drew a double-eared pot for her, a pot with two broths.
Since it's for use in a shop, it can't be done casually like usual.
Lu Qingqing taught meticulously and attentively.
Qu Yiran took a look and realized that this was not something that could be bought for a hundred taels of silver!
He could only secretly think to himself that he would repay the favor when he made money in the future.
At noon, the family ate a steaming hot pot, sweating profusely in the sweltering heat.
It was Qingyao's first time eating it, and she ate until she was stuffed. She clutched her stomach and ran out to digest.
Mo Lang immediately followed him out.
He had noticed early on that Qingyao had some faint red marks under her jaw.
It's not obvious, but it's very suspicious.
"What bit you?" he asked, frowning, looking unusually serious.
Qingyao touched her face, wondering what was wrong.
There might be mosquitoes.
Mo Lang stared at her with an aggressive gaze, as if he had to control everything about her!
"You are not allowed to look directly at this princess!"
