Chapter 73 Blinded by Lard
In the end, Wu Weiwei decided to try to persuade her.
After all, her career had just begun, and she didn't want to lose the capable assistant she had just signed.
"Junior sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, but he already has someone he likes."
If you rush up there, I'm afraid you'll get hurt.
"what?"
Chen Furong was surprised.
However, after a brief moment of surprise, Chen Furong was quickly overcome with disappointment.
Minwang, who has been engaged for three years, is a womanizer. Today, she finally met someone who makes her heart flutter, but he is already taken.
How cruel fate is.
"Sister Weiwei, since he already has someone he loves, then I'll wish him well!"
Chen Furong was a strong and resilient woman. Now that he had someone he loved, she naturally wouldn't pester him anymore.
"Junior sister, I thought you..."
Seeing her carefree demeanor surprised Wu Weiwei.
Rumors circulate that Chen Furong is not only a jealous woman, but also ruthless in her pursuit of men she likes, often resorting to force and coercion.
But looking at her today, she is not as rumored.
Chen Furong turned to look at her.
"Why?"
She knew how outsiders spread rumors about her, and of course, she had indeed publicly reprimanded and beaten King Min's women.
However, there were reasons for all of that; it wasn't that she deliberately played pranks out of jealousy.
"Sister Weiwei, we've known each other for a while now. Do you really believe that Furong is that kind of person?"
Wu Weiwei looked at her.
After spending several days together, Chen Furong has indeed shattered the illusion I had of her.
Although she has a rugged, masculine appearance, she is upright and generous, and loves to help others.
The only drawback is that she doesn't look like a delicate woman, and she also has the flaw of liking pale-faced, handsome scholars!
Wu Weiwei shook her head at her.
"Junior sister, I believe you."
All of this is nothing but outsiders being jealous of your noble status as the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion; they're just spreading rumors out of envy!
Hearing that Wu Weiwei was willing to believe her, Chen Furong happily clung to her, beaming from ear to ear.
"No wonder my senior brother likes you. It turns out that Sister Weiwei is indeed a wonderful person."
Of course, the most important reason is because Sister Weiwei, you are my (Chen Furong's) best friend!
Chen Furong said happily.
Although she was pleased to be considered a "close friend" by Chen Furong, she couldn't quite accept Chen Furong's habit of always putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Alright, junior sister, didn't you come here today to see how I recruit people?"
Granny Mei is already waiting downstairs with her people. Let's go!
Chen Furong released her, revealing her pearly white teeth, "Okay."
The spacious and luxurious lobby on the first floor of the Yihong Courtyard.
Excluding the manager, there were more than 300 women of various appearances gathered here.
Of these people, about a third are young male prostitutes who sell their art but not their bodies.
The other two-thirds consist of prostitutes, led by Lily, who will do anything a customer asks for as long as they have money.
As for the queen of flowers, Peony, it is said that she has been exclusively for Prince Min since her debut.
"Alright, everyone quiet down. Now, let's invite the head manager of Wei Garden to speak."
Wu Weiwei has renamed Yihong Courtyard; from now on, it will be called Weiyuan.
The name of the shop she opened is Weiyuan Beauty and Comprehensive Medical Clinic.
It includes beauty and body care for women, and can also treat gynecological diseases that wealthy women and ladies are ashamed to talk about.
For example, there was the acne on Xie Ningxin's face, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Xie's family, and some other issues related to vaginal discharge that are difficult to describe for women.
Of course, she has only decided on one female doctor for her current treatment, namely Dr. Lin Zhilin, the female massage therapist whom the Crown Prince had previously invited for her.
She lives in the suburbs of Beijing, and her family is small.
There was only her elderly mother-in-law, her husband, and their child, a family of four.
Wu Weiwei offered her a base salary of 20 taels of silver per month, plus a 5% commission on prescribing medicine to patients.
In general, if there are many patients, the monthly income should be no less than a hundred taels of silver, with no upper limit.
Where else can Dr. Lin find such a good thing?
Wu Weiwei only sent Granny Mei to talk to Dr. Lin, who agreed after a little consideration.
Given the current scale of Weiyuan, she will probably need to recruit at least three more female doctors skilled in medicine.
She had the job postings posted a few days ago.
In the past few days, people have come to inquire, but Wu Weiwei's time outside the mansion is limited.
Therefore, this morning when she was serving the old lady medicinal food, she sweetly asked her for a day off so that she could conduct interviews with all these people.
Dingguohou Mansion.
Lady Liu, the wife of the Marquis, frowned deeply.
"This Wu family member, relying on the old lady's favor, is increasingly disregarding me."
Ever since the incident with Prince Min, she has been completely out of control.
Not only did she run away on her own, but she also unexpectedly started a hot spring resort and a beauty and medicine clinic for the wealthy.
That’s not all.
According to the information that Butler Li had gathered, in the month or so that she had been serving Ting'er, she had managed to coax her son into giving her two manors.
As for money, that goes without saying.
Judging from the grand scale of her events in the capital, one can imagine how much money Wu has embezzled from her son.
Thinking about the more than 1,000 acres of property in Butterfly Valley Manor that her son had so easily given away to her, Liu felt a pang of heartache.
Although it was his son's private property, it was not part of the Marquis's estate.
However, according to market prices, it would be worth more than 30,000 taels of silver, not including the Yunmu Manor.
Lady Hou clenched her fists so tightly that she almost tore the exquisite handkerchief in her hands to pieces.
She only regretted that she had been blinded by greed and had chosen a scheming woman like Wu for Ting'er.
Seeing her like this, Granny Qiu kindly advised, "Madam, although Madam Wu managed to please the Old Madam and get her out of the mansion, what does it matter?"
I'm afraid that once the young master returns in a few days, her current petty squabbles will quickly come to an end.
With the Crown Prince being so domineering, how could he allow his woman to openly engage in business outside the home?
Let Lady Wu gloat for a couple of days. Once the young master brings his cousin back, she'll probably have to slink back and beg for his favor.
Hearing Granny Qiu's comforting words, Liu's anger subsided somewhat.
"Then let her run rampant for a few more days! When my son returns, I will have Ting'er deal with her."
"But speaking of He Yuyan..."
A sense of unease crept into Liu's heart.
She looked at Granny Qiu and said, "If Ting'er knew that I was the one behind this, would he be angry with me and distance himself from me?"
Seeing Liu's worried expression, Granny Qiu comforted her, "Madam, you're overthinking it."
Ultimately, the reason you did that was for the good of the Crown Prince.
Besides, no matter what, you are the mother who gave birth to the Crown Prince. Since ancient times, what son has ever had a falling out with his mother...
However, Liu's expression subtly changed after hearing Granny Qiu mention the words "giving birth and raising children".
