After being exiled, relying on space to pamper the chief assistant

The feeling brought by the jade bottle in his hand is completely different from the medicine Fu Shan took out before.

As someone who suffers from the disease himself, Fu Ru'an has the clearest experience that the two medicines are simply incomparable.

The inhaled medicine that Fu Shan carried with him was tanned by a folk miracle doctor hired by his family and made from a variety of rare medicinal materials.

It can be said that it is worth tens of thousands of gold.

But even so, this medicine could only suppress the suffocation in his chest when he used it. In addition, his whole body was still very uncomfortable.

The ointment in the jade bottle that Ye Zhen handed over was dark gray and unremarkable, but he only took a slight sniff and felt relaxed and happy.

At that moment, the pain that had been suppressed in my chest for many years seemed to completely dissipate.

Although he only felt it for a moment and quickly returned to his original state, such a short moment made him feel relaxed and happy that he had never experienced before in his life.

Fu Ru'an has been tortured by illness since he was born. Not to mention living a relaxed life, he can't even do some relatively large movements.

He has been treated with caution like a fragile doll all year round, and spent the first half of his life trapped in a house that never saw the light of day.

The second half of my life...heh, I don’t know if there is even the second half of my life!

Speaking of which, Fu Ruan felt not only no hatred towards his unkind and unjust father, but actually a little grateful.

If he hadn't insisted on sending himself to Lingnan, he probably would never have had the chance to step out of the Fu family's mansion and breathe fresh air in his life.

"Since we are all willing to cooperate, how about giving these two bottles of medicine to the young master as a meeting gift?"

Although five hundred merit points is not low, for the owner of Wangyue Tower, Ye Zhen is still willing to spend this money.

Let’s not talk about how powerful the forces behind the other party are, and whether they can help themselves in the days to come.

Asthma itself cannot be cured, and long-term medication is required to suppress the condition, otherwise it is very likely to affect life.

In ancient times when the level of medical care was extremely backward, a cold could kill a person, let alone such a difficult and complicated disease. Fortunately, Fu Ruan was born into a wealthy family. If he had been from an ordinary family, he would have died long ago.

Hearing what she said, Fu Ruan's hand holding the jade bottle hesitated for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at her, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

He, the patient, knew whether the medicine was good or not.

But it was precisely because he knew that the medicine sent by the other party was very good that he was particularly surprised and confused. The other party actually gave away such a precious medicine?

As if he understood what he meant, Fu Shan, who was behind Fu Ruan, bent slightly towards Ye Zhen and said:

"We appreciate Mrs. Xie's kindness, but this medicine is not ordinary at first sight, so we cannot accept it in vain."

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Fu Ru'an, then took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve.

There was some distance between them, so Ye Zhen couldn't see clearly the denomination of the bank note in the other person's hand.

After counting out five banknotes, Fu Shan stuffed the remaining banknotes into his sleeves and handed the banknotes in his hand to Ye Zhen.

"Here are five hundred taels. Please accept it first, Madam Xie. It may not be as good as the two bottles of medicine you gave me, but it is still some of our young master's thoughts."

In fact, Fu Shan was not sure how effective the medicine sent by the other party was. But he saw the emotion in his young master's eyes, so he took out five hundred taels and tried it first.

The five silver notes in front of her were as light as cicada wings, but as heavy as a thousand pounds, making Ye Zhen couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Although she did not exchange the medicine for the other party just for the sake of the money, when the five hundred taels were placed in front of her, she could not deny that she was moved.

After time travel, the most money she had ever seen was the three hundred taels she received from selling those two dishes when she cooperated with Wangyue Tower last time.

Now that the other party's move is five hundred taels, even she can't control herself.

"Ma'am, please accept it!"

Seeing Ye Zhen looking at the banknotes on the table with a confused look on her face, but never reaching out to take it, Fu Ruan opposite said in a deep voice.

Due to excessive exertion, he started coughing again just after he finished speaking.

Perhaps out of habit, as soon as he started coughing, he subconsciously picked up the jade bottle in his hand and put it under his nose.

A cool and strong medicinal smell instantly surged from the nose to the brain, and then sank to the chest. The itching feeling disappeared immediately!

Even Fu Shan, who was next to him, saw that his young master started to cough and quickly took the medicine bottle from his body.

But before he could take it out, he saw Fu Ru'an, who had a very bad expression on his face, suddenly stopped coughing and his expression became much more relaxed.

Half surprised and half confused, he looked at the small jade bottle in the other person's hand. Fu Shan stopped his unfinished actions and thought, did he pay too little?

"What a miracle medicine! Madam Xie, you must accept it!"

Fu Shan put the banknote into Ye Zhen's hand without any doubt, without even letting the other party refuse.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen had no choice but to accept it, and immediately raised her head to look at the two of them, and said:

"These two bottles of medicine can only be used for one month. After one month, if it is quite effective, Mr. Fu can come to me to get the medicine."

She didn't mention the price at all, but she was sure that the other party was not a stingy person, and after experiencing the power of modern medicine, he would definitely be willing to buy it at a high price.

Nodding slightly, Fu Ruan's trust in Ye Zhen instantly increased a lot.

After the drug issue was revealed, the two parties formally discussed the specific matters regarding the cooperative seasoning.

What Wangyuelou wants is that Ye Zhen can provide them with seasonings in large quantities to meet the needs of all branches in Lingnan.

But such a large amount suddenly put Ye Zhen in trouble.

A restaurant needs to use about ten kilograms a month, right? Add up six or seven restaurants, and that's not a small amount.

After exchanging the medicine, Ye Zhen had less than 6,000 merit points left. If she really wanted to agree, all her merit points would have to be spent on this.

This was not her original intention.

She has been working hard to accumulate merit points to cure Xie Yunshu's leg injury, not to make money.

Even selling two dishes, eel and snails, is a new way for villagers to make money, allowing them to take the opportunity to gain merit points.

In this way, isn't she putting the cart before the horse?

"Let's see, Mr. Fu, I don't have a lot of seasonings in my hand. At the moment, I can only provide five kilograms of each to each of your restaurants. I don't have any more."

She shrugged helplessly. On this point, Ye Zhen's attitude was very firm.

A big gift package for each family would cost her more than 1,000 merit points! You know, the reward for helping the villagers was only 2,000 merit points.

If it weren't for the promise she made so readily and the fact that she had given away her medicine, Ye Zhen would have regretted it.

She is not that short of money right now, so there is no need to exchange merit points for money.

After hearing her words, Fu Shan frowned, feeling quite dissatisfied.

The quantity of five kilograms is definitely not enough to meet the demand of the restaurant. Let’s just say that at their Wangyue Tower in Qingcheng, with the current passenger flow, even ten kilograms a month may not be enough.

"This...I'm afraid it's not enough."

Hearing this, Ye Zhen pretended to be helpless and sighed to express that there was nothing she could do to help.

This was not a good thing to do to help others. She would not get any merit at all, so she was not willing to spend too much.

"Then just do as Mrs. Xie said."

When Fu Shan was still deadlocked, Fu Ru'an on the side spoke, obviously choosing to compromise.

His eyes turned to the jade bottle held tightly in Fu Ruan's hand. Fu Shan could only nod his head and stop struggling.

As a result, both parties began to sign the contract.

Ye Zhen will provide Wangyuelou with thirty kilograms of various condiments every month, and the latter will buy them out at the price of ten taels of silver per kilogram.

After signing the contract, Fu Shan also intended to stay with Ye Zhen for a meal and learn about the treatment drugs.

But Ye Zhen didn't understand anything too detailed at all, so she had to make an excuse, saying that she had something to do at home, and then she left.

Before going out, Fu Ruan suddenly stopped her.

"Mrs. Xie, I heard that you saved a child some time ago?"

"ah?"

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment when she was called, but quickly realized that the other person was talking about the child Zhao Yi.

But she only said that the other person was her nephew, and even changed her surname. How could Fu Ruan know the truth?

Facing her questioning eyes, Fu Ru'an still looked very calm and continued:

"You should know that the surname Zhao is the surname of the emperor. We have never had a royal family in Lingnan County. On the contrary, there is a King Cheng'an in Chengpingzhou next door."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Zhen's expression changed.

Perhaps because she has a modern mindset, she is not sensitive to Zhao Yi's name at all, and only thinks of him as a poor child who was abducted.

Now that Fu Ru'an mentioned it, she suddenly realized.

No wonder Xie Yunshu had a very bad attitude towards Zhao Yi in the past. She thought he was depressed because he was in his current situation.

Now that I think about it, everything makes sense!

How could she just save a young prince? After complaining helplessly in her heart, she turned around and said to Fu Ruan:

"Thank you Mr. Fu for reminding me, but that child is my nephew. His surname is Ye, not Zhao."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

When Fu Ruan heard this, he just raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

After suppressing Zhao Yi's identity, Ye Zhen was only thinking about the other party.

The situation is chaotic now. Zhao Yi is just a child. If his identity is exposed, the danger will only be higher.

It would be better to let him stay with him as his nephew first. As for when he will go back to recognize his relatives, there is no rush.

After leaving Wangyue Tower, Ye Zhen refused Fu Heng's request to send her back, and instead took Lin Bin around the streets.

After being depressed at home for several days, she finally came out and wanted to relax before going back.

"See if there is anything you want to buy. We made money today!"

Patting her chest, the five hundred taels of silver notes seemed to be heating up, making Ye Zhen overjoyed.

Lin Bin followed her without saying a word. Although his expression was cold, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

The two of them walked around for a while, Ye Zhen bought some ingredients and cloth, rented a carriage to follow, and then planned to go back.

As soon as the carriage left the city gate, it stopped suddenly, causing Ye Zhen who was sitting in the carriage to almost fall.

Fortunately, Lin Bin had quick eyesight and quick hands to support her, and no accident occurred.

"Go, go, go! We are on a carriage going to the countryside, not officials and nobles!"

The coachman's stern voice sounded outside, followed by faint cries.

Ye Zhen frowned and lifted the curtain, only to see a circle of ragged people surrounding the carriage, all with sallow and thin faces and miserable expressions on their faces.

The coachman was still driving people away, but seeing that he couldn't say anything, he decided to step over with force.

"etc!"

Ye Zhen stopped his behavior in time and immediately got off the carriage, followed closely by Lin Bin.

"Auntie, where did you come from? How did you end up like this?"

Before she could even finish her words, everyone in the circle burst into tears. The scene was extremely pitiful.

"It's all that damn insect plague!"
