The next morning, Wen Qingcheng and Bai Wei started to make quick-acting heart-saving pills. Bai Wei cleaned the herbs early, and Wen Qingcheng began to teach her how to moisten the herbs. If it were usual, Wen Qingcheng would just throw them into the fully automatic medicine machine in her space, which would do everything from cleaning to moistening, cutting, boiling, etc. The reason why Wen Qingcheng separated these steps and did them outside was to teach Bai Wei how to make medicine.

"Girl, do you think it's okay to cut the Chuanxiong like this?"

Wen Qingcheng picked it up and took a look, "Okay. You cut it first, I'll go to the laboratory to prepare the equipment." After saying that, Wen Qingcheng went into the house.

Not long after, Bai Wei hurried in, "Miss, Manager Wu is here."

Wen Qingcheng knew that Old Wu, the housekeeper of the He family, was Mr. He's close attendant, so why did he come here in person? Mo Jinghong had never told Mr. He where she lived, so how did Mr. He know? I guess Mr. He didn't come to the He family often, but he had spies everywhere.

Wen Qingcheng didn't dare to neglect him, she put down her work and went out to greet him personally. "Why did Manager Wu come here in person?"

"Master, please ask Pharmacist Wen to go to He's."

Wen Qingcheng and Bai Wei looked at each other. Wen Qingcheng was a little surprised. "Butler Wu, what does the master want to talk to me about?"

"The master will never tell us servants what's going on. Pharmacist Wen will find out when he goes there."

Wen Qingcheng frowned. At this hour, Mo Jinghong was still in the palace. The situation at the He family was complicated, so she tried not to show up at the He family. "Why not wait for the prince to come back, and then we can go together."

"Oh, Pharmacist Wen, you are so difficult to invite. No one knows when the prince will come back. It's just that the master wants to ask a few questions, and he won't eat Pharmacist Wen."

Butler Wu had said so much, if she refused again, it would seem arrogant. After all, he was Mo Jinghong's elder, so Wen Qingcheng couldn't refuse bluntly, so she said, "Then Butler Wu, please wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes and come back."

Manager Wu took a look at Wen Qingcheng, who was covered in dirt from the experiment and knew she really needed to change clothes, so he didn't say anything.

Arriving at the bedroom, Wen Qingcheng called Bai Wei and whispered, "Bai Wei, I'll go with Manager Wu first. You can ask Yingge to find Brother Mo and tell him that I went to the He Corporation."

Bai Wei nodded heavily. She knew that Yingge was sent by Mo Jinghong and had been protecting Wen Qingcheng in secret.

Wen Qingcheng quickly changed her clothes and followed Manager Wu to the He family, and went straight to Mr. He's yard.

Entering the main hall, the light dimmed instantly. There were several people sitting in the room. Wen Qingcheng noticed that in the middle, next to a golden nanmu table, sat a man in his sixties, wearing a brown wide-sleeved Confucian robe. His skin was fair, but he still looked old. When he didn't smile, he had a kind of awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty.

Wen Qingcheng had seen Mr. He before and recognized him, but they had never spoken to each other. She bowed politely and saw a young man sitting to the right of Mr. He. He looked very gentle. Wen Qingcheng had seen him when she first came to the He family. He was Lu Qiuyu, and there were two pharmacists standing behind him.

On the left side of Mr. He were Mr. He Sanye and Wang Yunxi sitting there. Wen Qingcheng felt the oppressive atmosphere as soon as she came in.

Apart from paying respect to Master He, Wen Qingcheng only glanced at the others and then turned away. This was the first time Master He met Wen Qingcheng face to face. He looked her up and down. She was indeed a natural jadeite. She wore a pure pleated skirt with emerald flowers, and a green and gold butterfly-embroidered brocade jacket with a circle of pure white fox fur on the collar and cuffs. Her black hair was draped behind her head, with only a tassel jade hairpin inserted diagonally. She stood there with a happy look, cold and elegant, and exuding a natural grace.

Mr. He sighed silently in his heart, "She is indeed a very smart girl. Although her appearance is not the best, her temperament is unique. No wonder Hong'er is so obsessed with her. If she was born in a noble family, she and Hong'er would be a perfect match. Now she has destroyed her innocence for Hong'er. She will be taken into the mansion in the future. However, this girl wants to be the mistress. She is definitely not someone who will keep to her duty."

There was a hint of contempt in Master He's eyes. Wen Qingcheng stood there. Master He didn't say anything, so she couldn't just walk over and find a place to sit down. She could only stand there.

"Pharmacist Wen, do you know why I called you here?" Mr. He's majestic voice rang out in the hall. Wang Yunxi, who was standing aside, stared at Wen Qingcheng with a barely perceptible smile in her eyes.

Wen Qingcheng rolled her eyes silently in her heart. Who knows why such a big fuss was made? It was as if she had violated the law of heaven. "Qingcheng really doesn't know, please tell me clearly, Master."

Mr. He San said, "Actually, there's nothing else to do. It's just that the bills from the Medicine Department are a bit messy. The borneol is hard to count, so I want to ask how much you got. Borneol is expensive, and there's so much missing all of a sudden. I asked Cao, the manager of the Medicine Department, and found out that it was Bai Wei, a subordinate of Pharmacist Wen, who got it yesterday."

Wen Qingcheng's eyes moved. She had obtained Mo Jinghong's consent to go to the medicine store to get the herbs, and she did not need anyone else's signature. At the end of each month, Mo Jinghong would personally review and sign.

"Third Master, I did ask Bai Wei to collect five kilograms of borneol yesterday. Is there any problem with the account?" Wen Qingcheng noticed that Lu Qiuyu beside her had an expression of watching a good show, and Wang Yunxi also looked like she was sure of her. She knew that this was a trap set up specifically for her.

"Master, we are currently developing new medicines, and the borneol in the medicinal materials department is suddenly much shorter. Princess Anle's selection is imminent, and the progress will be delayed. What should we do?"

In the Great Qi Dynasty, borneol was still very precious. Borneol, also known as borneol, was mainly produced in Southeast Asia and extracted from borneol resin. Most of it was tributed to the Great Qi Dynasty by small foreign countries. The journey from foreign countries to the Great Qi was long, and the drug dealers bought it at a very high price, including the cost of the road.

Wen Qingcheng understood in her heart that they were waiting for her here. It must be that they had followed Bai Wei when she went to get the herbs yesterday, so they came to check her account and even brought up Mr. He.

Wang Yunxi took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, the accounts must not be messed up. Pharmacist Wen has a close relationship with Jing Hong, so we can't say anything if we make an exception for Pharmacist Wen. But now is a critical period. What if there is a shortage of borneol and it can't be delivered in a short time, delaying the production of medicine? What should we do?"

Wen Qingcheng glanced at Wang Yunxi with disgust, then stood there calmly, saying calmly, "Master, the prince said that I always signed for the medicinal materials at the end of the month and recorded them in a separate account. When the prince comes back, you will know once you ask him."
