After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 218 Immediate results

Song Yanyi's eyes flashed with cold irony: "I thought I would have to put more thought into this, but I didn't expect such a small thing could make her so panicked. Go and inform the prefect Zhao that the plan can be launched, starting with investigating the salt merchant."

"Yes, Master."

Fu Xian clasped his fists respectfully in response, then turned around to carry out the order.

The pharmacy has regained its former bustle, with new and old customers coming in an endless stream. In the past two months, Cui Rongrong's business in Shiya County has achieved remarkable results and has accumulated many loyal repeat customers.

Her pharmacy not only sold medicinal herbs for treating injuries, but also launched a series of health-preserving medicated foods and tonics, as well as medicine sacs that helped improve sleep, refresh the mind, and repel pests. It was especially loved by many wealthy ladies.

"Miss Bai, is the pearl beauty cream you bought last time still in stock? After I used it, my skin became much smoother. The master at home even said that I seemed to be several years younger!"

Mrs. Zhang walked into the store with a smile on her face and asked expectantly.

Cui Rong quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts and smiled, "Coincidentally, I just prepared another batch yesterday."

Just as Cui Rongrong was about to turn around and go to the back counter to pick up the goods, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stopped her: "Don't bother, just pack them all for me! I won't leave anything behind."

This pearl cream, if it is stored for a long time, its effect will inevitably decrease, so I will give you these two fresh bottles, you can go back and use them first, and when you run out of them next month, feel free to come back to me, my shop will not move. "

Cui Rongrong smiled with her eyes curved like the moon, and her tone was full of kindness and sincerity.

"Oh, that's true. I'm worried. What if such a good thing is sold out?"

Aunt Zhang lowered her voice, her eyes revealing a sense of mystery, "Do you know if Aunt Liu, that clever woman, has secretly sent someone to inquire about it, hoping to buy it quietly?"

Cui Rong's eyes turned slightly, and a smile bloomed on her face like a spring flower: "It shouldn't be the case. At least I haven't seen such a person coming here." But her heart was clear. Aunt Liu had indeed quietly reserved two bottles last night.

Aunt Zhang snorted disdainfully when she heard this: "That's great. That girl spends all day thinking about how to seduce the hearts of those gentlemen."

Cui Rong moved swiftly and skillfully wrapped the two bottles of pearl cream and handed them to Aunt Zhang: "The total is twenty taels of silver."

Aunt Zhang paid the money without saying a word and left with her things.

In the corner, Qing An muttered quietly, "Two small bottles of this tiny thing cost twenty taels of silver? Is there anyone really willing to buy it?"

Song Yanyi coldly replied, "For rich people, money is easy to make. She will not show mercy."

Inside the store, Cui Rong's hands and feet still did not stop, continuing to pack other items. At the same time, she had to deliver supplements and special medicinal foods to several people in need. She packed each item carefully and then asked Su Yue to deliver them one by one.

Just as she was finishing her work, a couple in plain clothes rushed into the store with a child in their arms, looking anxious: "Doctor Bai, my child has had a fever all night and suddenly started to convulse today! Please, save him!"

“Give me the child!”

Cui Rongrong quickly laid the child on his side on the small bed in the store, carefully cleaned the foreign objects in his mouth, and fed him a black pill.

Soon after, the child finally calmed down and lay there weakly. The woman quickly hugged the child tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face: "I was so scared, I thought you were going to leave us!"

"Thanks to Dr. Bai! Thanks to Dr. Bai!" the man expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Cui Rongrong wiped away the beads of sweat on her forehead and said seriously, "The child's high fever cannot be delayed. Next time if this happens, you must send him here immediately. If you delay any longer, it will be really dangerous."

The woman cried and explained: "We wanted to, but our family was financially strapped and we had to endure minor illnesses and pains. I thought it was just a common fever and that I would get better if I covered myself with more blankets. I'm afraid that going to the doctor would cost the family several months' living expenses."

The man asked awkwardly: "Doctor Bai, how much does the pill cost?"

"Ten cents."

"What?" The man was so surprised that he could hardly speak. Such an immediate medicine only costs ten cents?

Cui Rongrong prepared a set of herbal medicine for fever reduction, wrapped it carefully and handed it to the couple: "It's fifteen cents in total. Your child has a weak constitution. Don't delay if you get sick in the future. Remember to come to me."

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!" the couple thanked him repeatedly.

Cui Rongrong smiled gently: "You're welcome, take the child home and rest."

The couple left with gratitude in their hearts. Su Yue then brought some clean water and helped Cui Rongrong wash her hands.

Qing'an's face once again showed an expression of disbelief: "The effect of that pill is much stronger than the pearl cream, why is it only sold for ten coins? I thought it would cost at least twenty taels of silver."

Song Yanyi's gaze was fixed on the busy figure in the store. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes became deeper, as if he was thinking about something.

After Cui Rong washed her hands, she instructed, "After closing the shop, you will deliver these supplements and medicinal food to several households. I am going to Luojia Lane."

"Okay." Su Yue replied.

Cui Rong took off her apron, picked up the basket, and went out alone.

Song Yanyi lowered the curtains and waited until Cui Rongrong disappeared at the entrance of the alley before coldly ordering, "Follow her and keep an eye on her."

"Yes."

Qing'an started the carriage and followed Cui Rongrong from a distance.

Cui Rongrong walked through the bustling market and turned into a spacious and not remote alley. Her destination was at the entrance of the alley.

She knocked gently on the door, and the gate opened. She smiled and greeted warmly, "Aunt, I'm here to see you."

Her behavior was gentle and polite, just like a typical good daughter-in-law.

Song Yanyi's eyes narrowed: "Who is this?"

Qing An glanced at his calm face and answered in a low voice: "Lin Han's mother."

Song Yanyi had a blank expression on her face, but her fingers holding the curtain had turned white. It was obvious that she was extremely concerned about Lin Han's affairs!

The old woman held the door and smiled from ear to ear: "Xiao Wei is here, come in quickly, you are such a good child, you take time out every day to accompany an old woman like me."

Cui Rongrong walked into the courtyard and closed the door, but the conversation inside the courtyard could still be heard clearly.

"Lin Han is busy with official duties every day and can't take good care of you, so it's natural for me to take care of you. Aunt, do your eyes still hurt today?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. I applied the medicine you gave me to my eyes and I feel much better these days."

"That's great. I've prepared some medicinal food for you. It's good for your eyes. I remember you like chicken soup, so this medicinal food is made with chicken soup. How does it taste?"
