With Madam Li's intentional or unintentional promotion, Xue Zhiyu gradually gained the title of Little Medicine God in Zhaohua City. Now, the wives of officials no longer talk about gossip about their families, but what good pills Madam Li recommended.

"Let me tell you, the ointment that Madam Li has been using recently is said to be able to beautify the face and fight aging."

"Yes, yes, that's the one sold by the third young lady of the Xue family."

"No wonder I see Madam Li looking better and better these days. She is even better than young and beautiful girls."

"Let's go quickly, it will be gone if we are late."

"Mrs. Mo is right. Let's go quickly. I'm going to buy a few boxes..."

As the ladies talked, they walked quickly towards the Xue Mansion, as if they were almost running there.

Several women who were obviously not from ordinary families came in and out of the Xue residence. They were holding a few boxes of things in their hands. The maids and servants who were greeting them at the door were so busy that they wished they could extend more hands.

Xue Zhiyu sat in the front hall, took out the last few boxes of ointment, looked at the line behind her, and said helplessly, "Ladies, there are only three boxes left. Ladies coming later don't have to queue up anymore. Please come early tomorrow."

The first three people in the queue were of course happy. Although they could only buy one box, it was better than nothing. The lady who came late had to walk out with a little frustration.

There were also a few ladies who didn't want to leave empty-handed and walked over and said, "Miss Xue San, why don't you sell it to me? I will at most pay twice the price."

Xue Zhiyu would be lying if she said she wasn't tempted, but she still shook her head and said apologetically, "Madam, I'm really sorry, it's really out of stock. You can make an advance reservation here and I'll keep it for you to buy, or you can come early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then leave five boxes for me."

"I'll keep five boxes too."

"Three boxes..."

"Two boxes..."

"Okay, okay, Xiaoqiu, please register the information of each lady. Don't make any mistakes."

Xiao Qiu nodded, took out a thick book similar to an account book, walked to the table next to her, and said to the ladies behind her, "Ladies who want to make an appointment for beauty cream, please come here to register, and you can buy it directly from me tomorrow..."

On the other side, Xue Yulu heard the noisy noise outside and almost couldn't help but rush out to see what was going on. These days, everyone was looking for that bitch.

Walking back and forth in the room made Mrs. Xue even more annoyed. "Sit down and stop wandering around."

"Mother! Don't you know how arrogant that little bitch has been these days? She is obviously the daughter of a lowly maid, so why is she so arrogant?" Xue Yulu walked to the side of Mrs. Xue, feeling aggrieved and unwilling.

"Mother, I remember you told me that the young man from the Ministry of Revenue's family fell in love with that girl and wanted her to be his concubine. Haven't you responded to him yet?" Xue Yumei, who was sitting next to the coffee table, spoke slowly.

Mrs. Xue was not an ignorant girl. When she heard what Xue Yumei meant, she immediately understood and a good idea came to her mind.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and their eyes expressed the same meaning.

Over there, Xue Zhiyu could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and said weakly, "Xiao Qiu, please pass me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst."

Xiaoqiu poured a cup of water from the teapot beside her and handed it over. Before she could put it on the table, Xue Zhiyu snatched it away and drank it in a few gulps.

"Miss, Madam Li's maid just came and said that Madam Li will be here soon."

Xue Zhiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She turned around and said, "Then let's go back to the bedroom and get something for Madam."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two of them hurried back to the bedroom, and saw that the young lady asked them to wait outside again. Xiao Qiu had gotten used to it from her initial confusion. Although she was curious about where the young lady got the pill from, she would still keep it a secret for her.

Xue Zhiyu entered the room, clicked on the bracelet, walked to the cabinet very naturally and started to pick medicine.

"Ahem, Master, you have a new mission to complete."

007 appeared behind Xue Zhiyu at some point and coughed lightly.

"What? I don't need precious herbs for the time being, so how could there be a mission? Are you trying to trick me, little brat?" Xue Zhiyu stopped what she was doing and rubbed his face with a frown.

"No, go to Stone Street the day after tomorrow. There's someone there who needs your medical treatment," 007 said unhappily, shaking off her hand.

"Who?" Xue Zhiyu immediately became serious when she heard that someone needed to be rescued.

"You don't need to know this. You just need to know that this person is very important. There's a straw hat hanging at the door. Please hurry up," he said and disappeared.

"Hey! Really... I'll die if I say a few more words. At least tell me if it's a boy or a girl, and what disease he has."

Although she complained, Xue Zhiyu took the things she wanted to give to Madam Li and also grabbed a few commonly used medicines. After thinking about it, she felt that she didn't need to take anything else, so she exited the space.

Just as she left the space, Xiao Qiu knocked on the door twice, "Miss, we should go to the front hall. Don't let Madam wait for us."

"Okay, I'll be right there," he tidied his clothes, opened the door and led Xiaoqiu to the front hall again.

In the front hall, Mrs. Xue kept chatting with Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li seemed a little absent-minded today and looked out the door from time to time, which made Mrs. Xue feel as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. When Mrs. Li was not looking, the viciousness in her eyes seemed as if she wanted to eat someone.

"I'm really sorry to have kept Madam waiting for so long," Xue Zhiyu walked in and bowed to Madam Xue first, and then to Madam Li.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just wanted to tell you some good news today."

Madam Li stood up, grasped her hand and said, "Didn't I say before that I would find a shop for you? A few days ago, a relative of mine happened to have a shop in a good location. How about I take you there to have a look?"

"This...is this too much trouble for you, Madam?" Xue Zhiyu didn't expect it to happen so quickly and was slightly stunned.

"It's not going to be quick. It's just the shop. There are other things to do. It will take several days to complete."

Xue Zhiyu thought it made sense and nodded to Madam Xue, "Mother, I'll go out with you for a while, you don't have to worry." If this old witch would worry about her, she would be really thankful.

"Okay, go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll come back," Mrs. Xue smiled kindly, but the hand that was tightly clenched around the handkerchief under her sleeve almost betrayed her.

Xue Zhiyu then followed Madam Li out of the house, got on the carriage waiting outside, and headed for the market.
