Chu Qingzhi walked towards Chu Xuhua. “Brother, go to Zhang Village and buy some oranges. We’ll sell these orange-flavored ice cream bars ourselves.”
Chu Xuhua nodded. “Okay, I’ll go right away.”
Chu Qingzhi sent Chu Xuhua out and happened to see a carriage driving over.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of her house. Then, Xu Wanrong, Sang Wanlu, and Qu Zhaoyu walked out.
Qu Zhaoyu was Sang Wanlu’s husband.
Qu Zhaoyu was a little ill at ease. Fortunately, no one knew why he was here. Otherwise, he would not want to come out of the carriage.
Xu Wanrong walked elegantly towards Chu Qingzhi and whispered, “Qingzhi, I brought my cousin-in-law here. He has social anxiety. Let’s find a private place to give him a diagnosis.”
Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but smile. “I understand. I’ll be careful.”
Sang Wanlu and Qu Zhaoyu walked over.
Sang Wanlu greeted Chu Qingzhi very politely. “Qingzhi, sorry to disturb you.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Why would I be disturbed by business knocking at the door?”
Qu Zhaoyu sized Chu Qingzhi up and could not help but wonder how good a little girl’s medical skill could be. However, since he was already here, he should give it a try.
“Follow me.” Chu Qingzhi brought them into the house.
When the villagers saw that the nobles in the city were looking for Chu Qingzhi again, they could not help but stop what they were doing and watch, their eyes filled with envy.
“How did Qingzhi get to know these nobles?”
“Have you forgotten that Qingzhi has been living in the city for a period of time? These should be her friends, right?”
“Yes, yes, I almost forgot.”
Chu Qingzhi brought the three of them to the side of the stable. Since there was a man, it was not appropriate to bring them into the room.
Xu Wanrong looked at the horse and asked in surprise, “Qingzhi, did you buy a horse?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “I go out quite a lot. It’s more convenient to have a horse.”
Sang Wanlu looked at the people on the other side, who were all busy. She was very curious. “What are they doing there?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “They are making ice cream bar molds. I plan to expand my business.”
Sang Wanlu had an idea. “Qingzhi, when will there be new ice cream bars? I want to buy some ice cream bars for my shop staff.”
Chu Qingzhi praised, “You are really a good boss. If you want to buy ice cream bars, you can do it tomorrow. Buy more. I’ll give you a discount.”
Sang Wanlu smiled. “Thank you, Qingzhi.”
After chatting for a while, Chu Qingzhi began to take Qu Zhaoyu’s pulse. She quickly retracted her finger. “Young Master, you are overtaxing your body on that kind of thing. You need to restrain yourself.”
Qu Zhaoyu’s face immediately turned red. “Miss, what are you talking about?”
Chu Qingzhi hated men who sought pleasure outside, not to mention that he had a wife. However, in ancient times, society was like this. “Don’t you know what you did? However, I’m not going to point it out because it has nothing to do with me. I’m just reminding you. What I want to say is that it’s because of you that your wife can’t get pregnant. Don’t blame her.”
Qu Zhaoyu said angrily, “Nonsense. Do you even know medicine?”
Chu Qingzhi looked at Qu Zhaoyu as if he was a clown and said calmly, “How about you find another doctor?”
Qu Zhaoyu flicked his sleeves and left.
Sang Wanlu stuffed ten taels of silver into Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Qingzhi, give me a prescription. Also, don’t tell anyone about this.”
Chu Qingzhi naturally wouldn’t turn money down. She returned to her room and wrote down a prescription. “Make him drink it for three days. Something good will happen to you next month.”
Sang Wanlu could not help but look forward to it. “Thank you, Qingzhi. When something good happens, I’ll come to thank you personally.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded.
Sang Wanlu thought of the clothes and asked, “Qingzhi, have you finished drawing the clothes?”
Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “I’ve only finished ten pieces. I’m still drawing the rest. I’ll finish them as soon as possible.”
Sang Wanlu did not rush her. She only said, “After you’re done, ask Wanrong to bring you to me. When the time comes, we’ll open the clothes shop immediately.”
Chu Qingzhi said softly, “Wanlu, I have an idea.”
Sang Wanlu was all ears. “Go ahead.”
Chu Qingzhi leaned in front of Sang Wanlu and whispered in her ear, “Wanlu, do you understand what I mean?”
Sang Wanlu smiled and nodded. “Leave it to me.”
After that, Xu Wanrong and Sang Wanlu left.
After Sang Wanlu got into the carriage, Qu Zhaoyu immediately said in a huff, “Wanlu, you’re not allowed to come here again.”
Sang Wanlu frowned and asked, “Why?”
Qu Zhaoyu belittled, “What does a little girl like her know? She’s just a quack!”
Xu Wanrong spoke up for Chu Qingzhi. “Cousin-in-law, don’t say that about Qingzhi. She cured my face.”
Qu Zhaoyu sneered. “She used some kind of witchcraft to cure your face and you think she’s the Divine Doctor? Are you brainless?”
Sang Wanlu interrupted, “Don’t talk to Wanrong like that. She’s doing this for our own good. Besides, it’s normal for people to be sick. Why are you so angry?”
Qu Zhaoyu said angrily, “I’m angry! I’m angry because that quack doctor spouted nonsense.”
Sang Wanlu frowned slightly. “What good will it do for Qingzhi to spout nonsense?”
Qu Zhaoyu said angrily, “How would I know? Anyway, you’re not allowed to interact with her anymore.”
Sang Wanlu was furious. “Did she expose you? You’re using anger to hide your guilt! Qu Zhaoyu, if you want me to stop interacting with Qingzhi, you have to cut off all contact with your bad friends.”
Seeing that Sang Wanlu was angry, Qu Zhaoyu immediately softened his tone. “Wanlu, I was too angry just now. I didn’t mean what I said.”
Sang Wanlu said firmly, “Qingzhi gave me the prescription. When we get back, drink it for three consecutive days. If you don’t obey, don’t ever come back home.”
Qu Zhaoyu looked terrified. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll listen to you.”
Xu Wanrong was impressed. Her cousin was really good at disciplining her husband. When she got angry, her husband became a quail..
