The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

A few days ago, Su Qing asked Ruhuruyi to make a few wheelchairs and crutches, which can be sold in the pharmacy to facilitate those with mobility problems.

Su Qing didn't sell it too expensively, and she could take it out from the space after a while. No one would know about it anyway.

We opened today and just sold one wheelchair and three pairs of crutches.

Jiang Weiyang looked at the long line and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that opening a medicine shop would be so popular. He could also sell other things. In the past, he only heard that medicine shops sold medicine, but now they can sell some auxiliary items.

Everyone here is busy and happy, but Renshoutang across the street is jealous.

Renshoutang was opened by Li Shangshu's cousin. Not only were the medicines expensive, but they also didn't treat patients properly. They used to bully Li Shangshu. Now that the prince has fallen, the prince's party has become much quieter. After all, the emperor is investigating the prince's party, and no one dares to stand out.

However, seeing how long the line at Jishidiang was, she became a little impatient and quickly sent someone to inquire. She learned that the medicine was cheaper than that at Renshoutang, and that the marquis's wife was personally attending the consultation. She quickly went to the Shangshu Mansion to ask her cousin, Shangshu Li, what to do.

Su Qing had been busy all day. When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion at night, she lay down without even washing her face. The feeling of having the operation came back to her and she was busy and bustling.

The gentleman who does the accounting today has already sorted out the accounts. I roughly calculated that today's net income is three hundred taels. Is this enough for an ordinary family to earn for a few years?

But I still need to hire a doctor to see patients, I can't always stay there.

Su Qing took out a hundred taels and prepared to give the money to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu's ability is obvious to all. If there is any need in the future, he can still be asked for help. This person's ability should not be underestimated.

On the second day, Su Qing arranged everything in the Marquis' Mansion and went to Jishidiang.

Before Su Qing got off the carriage, she saw a lot of people gathered in front of Jishiditang. At first, she thought they were there to see a doctor, but when she got off the carriage, she saw an old lady lying on the ground with a white cloth covering her head. Was she dead? Why was she lying in front of her own medicine shop?

Su Qing glanced at Rumei, then walked over with Ruxue.

"What's going on?" Ruxue asked the owner of the drugstore.

"It's like this. Yesterday, this old lady came to our Jishiditang for treatment. It was just a common cold, so we prescribed her some cold medicine. These people said that the old lady died after taking our medicine. I checked and the medicine is indeed from our pharmacy. Madam, look at this..."

After listening to what the shopkeeper said, Su Qing understood the reason and prepared to go forward to check.

Unexpectedly, just as Su Qing took a step forward, she was stopped by Da Zhuang. "I remember you. You were the one who treated my mother yesterday. Your medicine was poisonous. My mother drank it and died. What do you think we should do?"

Ruxue quickly stood in front of Su Qing and said, "Let's talk it over nicely. We haven't figured out the reason yet. Don't make a move. This is the Marquis' wife."

"What happened to Madam Hou? Madam Hou's medical skills are not good. She killed someone. Why don't you let people say it? Everyone, come and see. This Madam Hou killed my mother. I think someone who came here for treatment yesterday must have seen my mother. She was fine yesterday. She just caught a cold. I came here to see the new store and the cheap medicine. I didn't expect that my mother would be killed! This is a black drugstore that specializes in harming people! You must be careful. They rely on their power to make money and kill people! Please help me to uphold justice and close this black-hearted drugstore!"

After hearing this, what else did Su Qing not understand? How could this medicine kill people? They came here to cause trouble. Maybe they saw that the opening yesterday was too popular, and the surrounding medicine shops were jealous?

Su Qing looked around and saw a Renshou Hall across the street. There were several people standing at the door, looking over here. Su Qing couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, thinking it was just a trifle.

"Young man, are you saying that your mother died because she took my medicine?"

"Yes, I took the medicine you prescribed and died after taking it."

"Have you ever asked someone to test the medicine?"

"I don't need to find someone to test the medicine. My mother didn't take anything. She just lost consciousness after taking your medicine. What? Don't you want to admit it?"

"Since you said that you became like this after taking the medicine I gave you, you should at least let me take a look, right? Otherwise, it's a bit absurd to convict us based on your empty words, isn't it?"

"Everyone, please judge for yourself. Their pharmacy killed someone and they're still saying I'm being outrageous?"

"What they said is right. Let her take a look. At least let her see if it's her problem."

"The dead are the greatest. I just don't want my mother to die in vain."

"If you didn't want the old lady to live in peace, you wouldn't have brought her here, right? Either I check it out, or we report it to the authorities! Let the government handle it."

"Humph, what's the point of reporting to the police? You are officials too, you should all look out for each other. You are cheating us ordinary people."

"What if it's as you said?"

"Close the medicine shop and compensate me with 5,000 taels of gold, and the matter will be over."

"I have never heard of this, I have never seen this, and you just say that he died from taking medicine, is that the truth? Let everyone listen and judge. If that's the case, then I will be convicted. There is no need for the butler, can't everyone convict me by themselves?"

"Yes, yes! That strong man has been talking to himself all along, and he won't let anyone see. Who knows what's going on?"

"But when I brought my wife here for treatment yesterday, I did see this man and his mother coming to see a doctor!"

Everyone started discussing the issue, one person speaking at a time.

"Well, I see that you are also sure that your mother died of poisoning after taking my medicine, so let me go forward and take a look. If this is true, I will compensate you as you said, how about it?"
