Chapter 371 Frankness
"No, I sold it to them!"
Mulan Xue admitted.
Wu Weiwei stared at her without saying a word. Chen Jie had already destroyed the pills, so where did she get them from?
Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Mulanxue explained, "Sister Wu, this medicine wasn't stolen by Xiaoxue; I developed it myself..."
Hearing her words, Lingfu looked at her strangely.
"You're lying! You've only been in Yulu for a short time, how could you possibly have made Ansheng Baoji Pills!"
"Miss Lingfu, this is truly something I made. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Su Xing..."
Wu Weiwei looked at Mulan Xue. Despite her doubts, she was still willing to give her a chance to prove herself.
"Little Stone, go and call Su Xing over!"
A short while later, Su Xing arrived in a hurry.
"My boss."
Seeing that Su Xing showed no sign of tension, Wu Weiwei raised an eyebrow.
"Su Xing, Miss Mu said she can make An Sheng Bao Ji Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine), are you aware of this?"
Su Xing looked up in surprise.
“Master, Su Xing is unaware of this matter.”
Hearing Su Xing deny it, Mu Lanxue said urgently, "Sister Su, have you forgotten?"
"That little white pill I made from the leftover scraps after I helped you process the medicinal herbs that day?"
Upon hearing Mulan Xue's words, Su Xing suddenly realized what was going on.
"You mean, that's the An Sheng Bao Ji Wan you made?"
"Yes, that's the An Sheng Bao Ji Wan I made. You also said it smells very good, quite similar to the taste of An Sheng Bao Ji Wan..."
Because Mulan Xue was short of money, in order to earn some extra cash, she sold the pill she made to the Jubaolou shop assistant who had delivered the invitation last time.
Mulan Xue had heard that Baoji Pills were expensive, so when the shopkeeper asked her what kind of medicine it was, she blurted out that it was Ansheng Baoji Pills.
Who would have thought that the people at Jubaolou would mistake this pill for the real Ansheng Baoji Pill and even put it up for auction!
"Sister Wu, I really didn't mean to, I just, I just..."
Mulan Xue hesitated, looking aggrieved.
Although she had no worries about food and drink here, she hadn't brought much money with her, so even if she saw something she liked, she didn't have the money to buy it, which is why she was thinking...
Seeing her predicament, Wu Weiwei glanced at Wan Qiu beside her.
Then Wanqiu withdrew.
"Miss Mu, it seems I haven't been hospitable enough. I completely forgot that you've come from afar and must be feeling uncomfortable..."
Wu Weiwei looked apologetic.
But have they really forgotten?
of course not.
Actually, Wu Weiwei wanted to discourage her and make her propose returning to the Suzhen tribe herself.
But who knew she would have such medical talent? She was able to figure out how to make An Sheng Bao Ji Wan just by looking at and smelling it.
Wu Weiwei looked at her.
If she weren't so fixated on green bamboo, she could be a promising seedling that's easy to cultivate.
Unfortunately……
After a while, Wanqiu came in with a box.
Wu Weiwei looked at her with a smile.
"Miss Mu, these are some of my favorite jewelry pieces."
I don't need any of these things anymore, so I'll give them to you!
I heard from Chen Dazhuang that Qingzhu was seriously injured at sea and that Mulanxue took care of him day and night.
As a token of gratitude, it would be appropriate to give her some jewelry.
Besides, most of the jewels here were gifts from Lu Hanting, and they must be worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.
Now that she has broken off her relationship with Lu Hanting, she wants to put an end to the past.
Looking at the box full of jewels, Mulanxue hurriedly said, "Sister Wu, these things of yours are too valuable, I can't accept them!"
It was precisely because she didn't want Wu Weiwei's money that she sold the pills.
Seeing her refusal, Wu Weiwei looked at Ling Fu beside her.
Then Lingfu took out a silver note from her pocket.
"Miss Mu, I misunderstood you today."
As compensation, please be sure to accept this money; it's also a way of thanking you for taking care of Qingzhu last time. What do you think?
Green bamboo?
Thinking of Wu Weiwei's relationship with Brother Qingzhu, Mulanxue's face turned pale.
Is she trying to send me away on behalf of Brother Qingzhu?
Seeing her undisguised sadness, everyone present could easily understand.
Lingfu also said that Mulan Xue had let go, but looking at it now, it doesn't seem like she's let go of Qingzhu at all.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, as if it were a terrible sin for her not to accept the money.
Mulan Xue stepped forward and said, "Since it is Sister Wu's kind intention, then I, Xiaoxue, will accept it without being impolite."
Watching her dejected figure leave, Lingfu, who was usually quick to criticize, remained silent.
But it's just that Steward Qing likes their master, not Mulan Xue.
After Mulan Xue left, Wanqiu looked at Wu Weiwei.
"Miss, shall we still go to Jubaolou?"
Now that the truth has come out, the girl probably won't go, right?
“Go, of course we’ll go. The pill that Miss Mu is selling is under the name of our Jade Deer Pharmaceuticals, and it’s even advertised as Ansheng Baoji Pill.”
To outsiders, she's practically one of us at Yulu. What if there's something wrong with the pills? Wouldn't that ruin Yulu's reputation?
Lingfu looked at her master.
"So... what do you want, young lady?"
"We need to retrieve that fake An Sheng Bao Ji pill!"
As Ye Qingyun waited anxiously, Wu Weiwei finally appeared at Jubaolou.
"Welcome, Mr. Wu!"
Ye Qingyun stepped forward with a smile.
"Hehe, Mr. Ye, hello!"
"I thought you wouldn't show up, but I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be a man of his word..."
Hearing her words, Wu Weiwei only smiled faintly.
She hadn't agreed to come to the auction before, but that was just her assumption!
Led by Ye Qingyun, Wu Weiwei and the others arrived at the second-floor private room, designated as "Earth Class".
Everyone in the lobby looked on in surprise as they saw Wu Weiwei being personally led to a private room on the second floor by the manager of Jubaolou.
Qin Baihe and Min Wang, among others, were particularly noteworthy.
Who would have thought that Wu Weiwei would still receive such treatment after leaving the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion and losing her status as Lu Dushi's concubine?
Not to mention that she was recently bestowed the title of Imperial Merchant for saving the emperor with medicine. In the Great Wei Dynasty, who else has such an honor?
Even if you're just envious, you still need to have the ability to do it!
Liu Shuning, sitting in the "人" privy box, noticed everyone's envy.
At this moment, her gaze towards Wu Weiwei was like poison, as if she wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh.
She just caused a scene downstairs, and I only managed to sit in this private room on the second floor after losing face and dignity.
But Wu Weiwei not only received a personal invitation from Mr. Ye, but also waited anxiously for a long time before finally arriving.
In comparison, how could she swallow this insult?
Speaking of this, Liu Shuning remembered the people in that private room just now.
Wu Weiwei is only arriving now, so who was the person who was inside earlier?
