Chapter 259 Cosmetics Shop
The matter of the rejuvenation medicine shop finally alarmed the Gu family.
When Gu Congyun and Zhuang Hefeng heard that the matter had been handled, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Soft words, how is that boy?"
Wu Yixuan asked, he was the only one who had no answer in this matter.
Gu Ruanci said, "I accepted his fate and was bought. Although I am kind, I really won't help a person like him get a better life just because of his mother's cruelty. Compared to what his mother did to the little girl, I have shown leniency and did not interfere with where he was sold."
Wu Yixuan nodded without objection.
After knowing what the woman did, she had mixed emotions towards the little boy. She felt a little sympathy, but more importantly, she felt that this was what they were supposed to experience.
"You want to open a cosmetics store?" Wu Yixuan got to the point.
Gu Ruanci nodded. "Yes, I don't have much to do on weekdays. Apart from helping the prince to see patients on certain days, I now have to prepare medicine for the convenient pharmacy, and occasionally help my senior brother to see patients he is not sure about. I have a lot of time. My mother's dowry is coming back, so of course I can't just sit there and eat it. Sister-in-law, if you have a boy this time, as his aunt, I will give him a betrothal gift in the future. If it is a girl, I will save up a dowry for her."
Wu Yixuan smiled and said, "You, it seems you've had the idea for a long time, and now that it's matured, you've decided to go for it. But that's fine too. With your reputation, there's always enough attention for whatever you do."
"I don't really care about reputation. I just hope to make a career and not waste these good things my mother left me. Besides, I also want to grab the business of the Ye and Zhou families, and I have never thought about letting them go." Gu Ruanci said seriously.
Wu Yixuan patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will help you. I am now in the mansion, and although I am not as free as before, I will definitely help you wherever I can."
Gu Ruanci looked at her gratefully: "Sister-in-law, I knew you wouldn't refuse."
Wu Yixuan smiled and said, "We are family, so we shouldn't have different opinions. Besides, I think your convenient pharmacy is very meaningful. Although it has offended many people, the real beneficiaries are the people. Now, I believe that your cosmetics store will also be genuine and of good value, which will benefit many women."
The hottest topic in Dizhou City right now is how many powerful people Gu Ruanci has offended in order to open a convenient pharmacy.
After all, a small medicinal materials business has huge profits behind it, and those profits are definitely not something that a small businessman can safely take. There must be a protective umbrella behind it.
Medicinal materials with insufficient ingredients may just take a long time to take effect, but they cannot actually be considered fake medicine.
These medicinal materials have been in circulation for a long time, and people have gradually become accustomed to them. Any disease can be treated slowly.
The emergence of convenient pharmacies has exposed these tricks directly to the public. Now people know that they could have recovered faster, and that medicinal materials with insufficient ingredients are priced the same as those with sufficient ingredients. In the past, they had to spend several times the price to get better when they were sick.
This disguised form of people's money flows into the hands of unscrupulous businessmen and those who protect them.
Gu Ruanci, a woman, actually dared to openly challenge these giant mouths hidden in the dark, which naturally caused an uproar.
In fact, Nong Chun and Zang Xia were also a little worried. After the county lord came back, she did make a lot of enemies.
However, after seeing the heartfelt smiles on the people's faces after the convenient pharmacy opened, I felt a lot more relieved.
Today, Wu Yixuan asked again: "Soft words, when you decided to do this, weren't you afraid of offending those people?"
Gu Ruanci sneered, "Some things have to be done. If this continues, it will destroy the livelihood of the entire Dayao people. The world belongs to the people, not those corrupt officials. When they were studying, those people thought about benefiting the people, but now they only want to harm them. As for those who have never suffered hardship because of their ancestors' influence, let them come to me if they have the guts."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yixuan couldn't help but admire Gu Ruanci even more.
She knew that Gu Ruanci rarely talked about these things on weekdays, but deep down he had a heart full of tolerance for the world.
Gu Ruanci also did not hide the fact that Prince Duan's Mansion had someone deliver the title deed to the rejuvenation medicine shop.
Wu Yixuan sighed, "It seems they are really willing to give up this piece of fat meat. It also proves that Concubine Wen has really fallen out of favor. After so many years of favoritism, she must be feeling a bit disappointed now, and she will find a way to retaliate. Soft words, be on guard."
Gu Ruanci nodded and said, "Yes, I know. But since I have decided to stand up, I am ready to face everything. Concubine Wen should be busy with her own affairs and has no time to bother me."
After hearing this, Wu Yixuan knew that she was confident, so he said nothing more.
Within a few days, the news that Gu Ruanci was going to open a cosmetics store spread throughout Dizhou City.
Those shop owners who had become rich by running cosmetics shops began to feel insecure. After all, the success of the convenience pharmacy had made them see Gu Ruanci's ability.
The Little Medical Fairy's reputation was there. If they just put something on display in the store, claiming it was developed by the Little Medical Fairy and specially prepared for women's beauty and skin care, there would definitely be a huge influx of people rushing to grab it...
What's more, there are rumors that the location of the new store is the previous rejuvenation medicine shop, which was originally the property of Prince Duan's Mansion.
The amount of information contained in these two pieces of news is so huge that it is enough for the people of Dizhou City to discuss for a while.
After hearing about this, Concubine Wen, who had been having a bad day in the past few days, hated Gu Ruanci even more.
"Why is it this bitch again!"
After Lu Ennan investigated for the past few days, he did not find any relationship between Gu Ruanci and those beggars, so he concluded that the Ye family unilaterally took action against Zhou Qingdai in order to vent their anger on Zhou Qinzhu.
Internal troubles have not been resolved yet, and external troubles have arisen again, which really makes Concubine Wen overwhelmed.
That day, Wen Zimei specifically told her not to make decisions on her own in the future. Concubine Wen had suffered losses twice and she really didn't dare to rely on her intuition again.
So this time, Gu Ruanci's conversion of the rejuvenating medicine shop into a cosmetics store was a slap in her face, but she could only endure it.
"I think she did it on purpose. She wanted to use the rejuvenation medicine shop incident to teach us a lesson and embarrass us."
Lu Wenxue, who had suffered a lot at the hands of Gu Ruanci, was also angered.
These three words, Gu Ruanci, are enough to make her allergic.
Concubine Wen suppressed herself for a long time before giving up the idea of going to settle the score with Gu Ruanci.
Lu Wenxue was young after all, and she couldn't swallow this humiliation. She said, "Mom, I also want to open a cosmetics store..."
