Xi Jiu Er knew that she was waiting. Once the Wang Family arrived, she would be able to turn the situation around and the First Lady would have the chance to leave the Xi Mansion. Xi Wan Rong was waiting for this kind of opportunity, and so was he.

"Miss Jiu Er, ex-sister-in-law has said that if you have nothing else to do, you should go to my house to take a look. During this period of time, Lao Xu has started to get sick again." Liu Shui said as he ate the bun. The problem she was talking about was that Lao Xu had started to do those things again. Xi Jiu Er nodded, he had let this Lao Xu go for so long, she should take it out and use it.

"Let's go, it's better if we hit the day, we'll go to heart-nourishing hall to take a look, and we'll also take a look at the other shops." Xi Jiu Er brought Liu Xiang and the two maids over to the heart-nourishing hall, it was still very lively there, only the heart-nourishing hall's upper echelons knew that the real owner of the shop was Xi Jiu Er, everyone thought that the owner was from Xi Family, so the Xi Family would definitely not come out to spread the rumours. Furthermore, the Old Madame of the shop believed that the owner would eventually get it.

"This Miss, take a look at what kind of medicinal ingredients you are looking for, this lowly one can introduce them to you." This young servant was extremely quick-witted. Her smiling eyes were already like slits, making people feel extremely happy just by looking at him.

"Is that so? Do you know medicine? " Xi Jiu Er asked with a smile.

The servant boy chuckled, "I've been an apprentice alchemist for a few years. I know how to identify medicines and I know a bit about their medicinal properties. Even if I don't have a shopkeeper, I still have one."

Xi Jiu Er knew that the servants here were all meticulous in their selection. Not only could they identify the medicinal ingredients, they were also clean in their hands and feet. In order to probe this fellow out, Xi Jiu Er had started to point at the medicinal ingredients in the box. Xi Jiu Er then asked about a few prescriptions, such as some that could recover one's vital energy and blood, some that could calm one's mind, etc. This made Xi Jiu Er look at him in a new light: "This heart-nourishing hall is so capable, the servants here are almost doctors!"

The servant laughed: "What this Miss has said makes this little one embarrassed, this little one only knows a little about the skin. There are still doctors who are on duty, if this Miss does not trust them, I can ask the doctors here."

"Heh heh, I trust you. I trust you." Xi Jiu Er laughed: "Sorry for troubling you, I'll take a look myself. If there's anything, I'll call you."

If it was a servant from another shop, he would have started to complain long ago. However, this attendant was still smiling as he said: "Alright, Miss, just take a look for yourself. If you don't find the medicinal ingredients that you want, this one can call the shopkeeper over."

"Go." Xi Jiu Er laughed.

Liu Xiang moved closer to him and said, "Miss, the business here is really good. The management of this place is really good."

This shop was originally big, and after ex-sister-in-law took over, she split this shop into two floors. The small courtyard at the back also expanded a lot, but Xi Jiu Er did not manage to find, nor did she see Lao Xu's figure, which made Xi Jiu Er curious for a moment.

"Liu Shui, go look for the people from ex-sister-in-law." Xi Jiu Er instructed Liu Shui. ex-sister-in-law was a cautious person, they had been at the shop for a quarter of an hour, and after asking a few servants where she was, they couldn't help but be curious. Even Lao Xu did not see it.

The doctor sitting on the second floor, Xi Jiu Er, raised her head from the first floor and saw a white robed man with long sleeves. Before she even looked carefully, she saw Liu Shui's ugly expression staring at her, indicating for Xi Jiu Er to go to the backyard.

"What's wrong?" Xi Jiu Er saw that Liu Shui's expression was not well: "Something has happened to ex-sister-in-law."

"It's a good thing that Servant came in time, otherwise, this Lao Xu would have done something to ex-sister-in-law." Liu Shui brought Xi Jiu Er to a storage room at the back of the courtyard. Lao Xu was clutching his stomach and rolling around, while ex-sister-in-law's face was pale white.

"Miss is here." ex-sister-in-law tidied up her clothes and hair ornament, and said indifferently.

"Mn, I came here to take a look today. I never thought that I would encounter such a thing. This Lao Xu sure is bold." Xi Jiu Er stepped forward and viciously kicked Lao Xu. Most likely, Liu Shui had hurt her in some way, so he was clutching his stomach and rolling on the ground in pain.

ex-sister-in-law went up and forcefully kicked a few times at Lao Xu, but Lao Xu did not scream. Only now did Xi Jiu Er realize that Liu Shui had blocked Lao Xu's mouth. If people knew that Lao Xu was shouting loudly, what would happen to his reputation as the ex-sister-in-law?

Liu Shui nodded, she also felt that it was very smart of his to follow Xi Jiu Er.

This Lao Xu always wanted me to agree to him being a manager, if I do not agree, he can bear it, but then he started to seduce me, today he actually thought of using force to assault me, if not for Miss, I'm afraid that I would have … The more ex-sister-in-law said, the angrier he got. Liu Shui quickly said, "ex-sister-in-law, let me help you."

"Wuwuwu" Liu Shui gave a violent kick, causing Lao Xu to cry out in pain as he rolled on the ground. Xi Jiu Er scoffed, "Lao Xu's heart is still pretty strong, to actually dare to stain ex-sister-in-law, are you tired of living?"

"ex-sister-in-law, I shall leave this person to you. You decide whether he is dead or alive." Xi Jiu Er gave Lao Xu a kick, and laughed: "Don't take it to heart, for such a despicable person, you made us so worried!"

ex-sister-in-law took a cold breath and said lightly: "I understand, let's go, let him stay here. For the time being, I don't have any ideas on how to deal with him."

Just as he entered the lobby, he heard a woman's voice: "Really, Cousin? The rose spirit can be used for beauty? can make my skin become watery? "

This voice belonged to no one else but the Miss Zheng. Xi Jiu Er raised her eyebrows. In such a big place like the capital, it was rare for her to actually meet a Miss Zheng after going out of the door! Xi Jiu Er saw the girl beside Miss Zheng through the curtain. She seemed to be around fifteen or sixteen, and was not very pretty. And this father was the person Xi Jiu Er was looking for — someone from First Lady.

It was a broken iron shoe that could be found anywhere. It wouldn't take any effort to obtain it! Even the heavens were helping her. Wait, what a waste of a few months of training in painting … Thinking of this, his expression turned ugly.

Liu Xiang and Liu Shui both came over and whispered: "Miss, that Miss seems to be that man you drew."

"Yeah, it's 80% similar. Sigh, a girl who looks like this really doesn't look good. Even Servant feels that she's much prettier than her. " Liu Shui whispered as he blinked his eyes. Liu Shui was amused. He had never been so confident about his appearance, but today, he had found a way to be confident.

Liu Xiang burst out laughing as she laughed, "Liu Shui's beauty is comparable to this Miss in front of me, she's as beautiful as a fairy."

Liu Shui's face reddened. "Liu Xiang, aren't you being too exaggerated!?" The better their relationship was, the more they liked to bicker, causing Xi Jiu Er to enjoy the bickering between the two of them. After Liu Shui became Liu Shui, he treated Liu Xiang like family, and with his family by his side, the feeling of bickering and bickering was very good.

"Of course it's true …" The lady lowered her head and whispered a few words into Miss Zheng's ear. Miss Zheng's eyes lit up and with a hint of shyness, she said: "Cousin likes to tease me."

It had to be said that the girl's skin was not bad, white and tender, delicate to the point that it looked broken, but it was also her fault that she could persuade the Miss Zheng despite her ungood-looking appearance. Xi Jiu Er instructed the ex-sister-in-law: "Go and inquire about the identity of this' cousin '."

"Right." ex-sister-in-law lifted the curtain and smiled, "Miss Zheng is here today. Our mat really brings light to our humble dwelling.

Miss Zheng enjoyed being praised by others. She raised her chin and laughed, "Shopkeeper Qian, I want as much of this Rose Spirit as I can get."

Xi Jiu Er pursed her lips and laughed, this time, Miss Zheng was afraid that she would fall to ex-sister-in-law, ex-sister-in-law smiled and said: "Miss Zheng, the price for this rose spirit is higher than normal."

Miss Zheng immediately said proudly, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to afford it." As she spoke, the maidservant behind her threw out two thousand taels of silver.

Xi Jiu Er had always been paying attention to the movements of Miss Zheng and her cousin. When the cousin saw two thousand silver, the greed in her eyes quickly disappeared. Xi Jiu Er pondered over the events that occurred in the great hall for a while.

"This... "It's not enough …" The ex-sister-in-law hesitated: "This rose spirit plant costs five hundred silver, our shop has five in total … That would be a total of two thousand five hundred liang of silver. "

Xi Jiu Er pursed her lips and smiled, she knew that ex-sister-in-law would do business. Behind him, Liu Shui and Liu Xiang's eyes were wide open, because they had heard Xi Jiu Er mention this rose spirit before. Rose spirits aren't expensive, but this is the season... This Rose Spirit could be considered rare.

When the rose spirit was in its prime season, it was only worth fifty silver taels each. However, this one cost five hundred taels. When Liu Shui and Liu Xiang looked at each other, if they were themselves, they would definitely feel embarrassed about asking for such a sky-high price.

"Ah, five hundred silver?" Miss Zheng was shocked, no, she could already be considered to be screaming. The 'cousin' at the side was even more surprised, blurting out: "Everyone says that the heart-nourishing hall's things are shockingly expensive, but looking at it today, it's actually real!"

"Hehe, Miss Zheng, can you see how fresh this Rose Spirit is? A woman's beauty is more important than anything else, I think that the Miss knows about this! " The ex-sister-in-law smiled slightly: "Everyone says that a beauty will age late, and her looks will also age day after day. In order to redeem her looks, what does this have to do with anything?"

Miss Zheng gritted her teeth and thought for a while: "Alright! "I'll get the maidservants to send the remaining five hundred taels."

"I trust the Miss Zheng." ex-sister-in-law smiled, a servant was already there to retrieve the goods. Behind him, Cousin asked, "How do you keep it fresh? In such a hot day, what you take out must be fresh? "

"This is our store's secret." ex-sister-in-law said indifferently, with a look of not wanting to talk much.

ex-sister-in-law said. "The goods are fresh, it depends on how Miss Zheng preserves them, this thing can last for four hours and if it continues for more than four hours, it will no longer be fresh."
