“I don’t have the time to make tt.” He had a righteous attitude.

Ye Muyu was so angry that she laughed. Her voice softened. “Alright, alright. Make some for me. I’ll take it home for my elders.”

“If you have a cheaper ointment, make me a hundred boxes too.”

“I have a prescription for frostbite here. Take a look. I don’t know if it’s useful.” She handed him a tattered piece of paper. There were indeed some herbs for the frostbite ointment on it, but only half of the formula was left. She really did not know the rest.

Lu Sangqi perked up. He took it and looked at it for a while. “Where did you get this prescription? It’s so old. I can’t even read the words on it.”

“Then can you make it yourself? I just read it in some old books,” Ye Muyu said helplessly. “I don’t have anymore.”

Hearing her question, Lu Sangqi puffed his chest proudly.” Of course, I can make it. But I need to study this half of your prescription.”

“Take this.” As he spoke, he stuffed a ceramic bottle into Ye Muyu’s hand.

“Didn’t you say that there was no medicine?” Ye Muyu looked at the frostbite ointment on his hand in surprise.

Lu Sangqi felt as if someone had stepped on his tail. He quickly took back his foot. “I only have one box. There’s no more. Do you want it or not?”

Ye Muyu saw that his toes were slightly swollen. No wonder this person had been sitting on the summer sleeping mat without even wearing socks. He also had frostbite and was extremely itchy.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll take it. Oh right, you have to be quick. Before Ah Heng leaves, you have to bring some medicine for frostbite.” Ye Muyu warned.

Lu Sangqi was a little jealous. He snorted. “I know. I don’t dare to offend your man.”

Ye Muyu knew Lu Sangqi’s personality. He was a stubborn man, but he was not bad.

After she finished speaking, she left the courtyard and returned to the residence.

At dinner, she did not forget to give the ointment to Chu Zhiwen.

Chu Zhiwen kept it like it was his treasure. “Ah Yu, you’re so attentive. I won’t be afraid of my ears itching in the future.”

Madam Liu glared at him in disgust. “You have frostbite, but you didn’t go to the doctor to buy medicine yourself. You even delayed until now to trouble Ah Yu.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You old woman, I won’t talk to you anymore.” Chu Zhiwen was still happy as he continued eating.

“Ah Yu, I’ll go back to the village tomorrow,” said Madam Liu after dinner.

“Mother, get someone to go with you.”

“Alright, I know that.” Madam Liu told her not to worry about herself.

Early the next morning, Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen returned to the village.

Chu Heng got up early to practice his swordsmanship. Ye Muyu also got up early and watched him practice.

Just as she was talking to Chu Heng, Tang Dongfeng came into the residence. He saw Chu Heng in the courtyard and bowed. After receiving his nod, he stood up and stood beside Ye Muyu. He reported to her, “Madam, there’s big news!”

“I heard that before the new year, the Yu family sent a secret recipe of lip balm to the Zhao residence. When I heard that Zhao Tongpan’s wife used it, she was overjoyed. When Zhao Tongpan heard that the imperial consort was celebrating her birthday, he immediately sent someone to present it to her.”

“Zhao Tongpan is a foreign official. If he wants to deliver something to the palace, it naturally has to be done through the Jing City officials. The person above them is the favorite of the Emperor, the Qi family’s Grand Secretary Qi, who’s from the maternal family of the Second Prince, King Qi. With his current status, no one in the capital dares to offend him.”
