Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

If someone was able to sneak in from the prison and feed medicine to Weng Lai, it means that not all the people in this yamen have been arrested yet.

So after Bai Sui'an came out, he went to Feiyun Department Store.

She didn't change her clothes, so no one recognized her when she first entered.

Thinking that A Yan had just been in contact with Ye Lingche for a short time, Bai Sui'an went to find him.

"Ayan, I have something to talk to you about."

While A Yan was busy, Bai Sui'an grabbed him.

Without lowering his voice intentionally, A Yan knew it was her as soon as he heard her. Seeing that she was dressed in a special way, he took her to the backyard.

"Miss Bai, you look like this, is there something you want to do?"

"Don't pretend to be unfamiliar with me. Ye Lingche told me everything last night. We are temporarily on the same page. If you want to find the whereabouts of the prince, you have to listen to me. First..."

"Who told you what?"

A Yan was already sweating coldly and couldn't quite believe his ears.

What do you mean? I just advised His Highness and Miss Bai to live a good life yesterday, and that night His Highness told everything?

Shouldn't it?

"Don't play dumb, listen to me. Go find the guy who led the arrest of the county magistrate and tell him that there are still people from Tianxuan Country in the yamen who haven't been arrested yet. Also, have him send someone to protect the thief who was imprisoned a few days ago. As long as that person is not dead, I can investigate. Do you understand?"

A Yan stammered, "I, I understand. Then Lin, no, His Highness, is he okay now?"

No one could have imagined that the Crown Princess of Tianxuan Kingdom and the Prince of Qianheng Kingdom would get married and even help find a Crown Prince.

"That's great." Bai Sui'an left after giving his instructions.

The schedule was very tight, and she had to go to Wanchen to discuss something.

This time the Wan family's door was closed, but the moment Bai Sui'an knocked on the door, the door opened from the inside.

It was Ah Hu. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

After glancing behind Bai Sui'an, Ah Hu told her to go in quickly.

After closing the door, Ah Hu took Bai Sui'an all the way to Wanchen's courtyard.

After entering, Bai Sui'an took off the mask. Wan Chen had seen her face anyway, and taking off the mask would make it easier for her to breathe.

Wan Chen paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. When Ah Hu entered the yard, he couldn't wait to shout, "Master! That Mr. An is here!"

Wan Chen ran out immediately. His steps were much more vigorous and he looked more energetic than before, as if he had gained some weight.

"You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for several days!" Wan Chen grabbed Bai Sui'an's wrist and hurriedly led him into the house.

Before anyone sat down, he made tea for Bai Sui'an.

"It's strange to say, your water really works wonders. I used to vomit everything I ate, but after drinking your water, my appetite has improved. I even had a doctor come to see me yesterday, and he said I'm feeling much better now!"

Wan Chen even held out his palm: "With your medicine, I only have scars left. It healed too quickly!"

"My shop is ready. With just one order from you, I'll sell this medicine nationwide! By tomorrow, the name of Wanchen Pharmacy will be known throughout the world!"

Bai Sui'an hadn't said a word yet, but Wan Chen started planning his business empire.

"Master Wan, although this may sound a bit disheartening, it's difficult for me to provide you with enough potion to sell all over the world."

"Why?"

"Since it's a potion, I'll naturally spend time mixing it." Bai Sui'an said,

"And you can't just sell my potion. If you want to cooperate, you can only sell it mixed with other medicines. I'll give you the dosage, and you can ask someone to mix it yourself."

"Why? This potion has so many benefits, it could fetch a huge price!"

"Which one would make more money? Selling a single drug at a high price, or selling out every drug because of its effectiveness? You should know which one would make more money, right?"

Wan Chen's eyes lit up. "You're right! By then, Wan Chen Pharmacy will be well-known, and our medicine will be hard to come by. In the future..."

Bai Sui'an frowned and interrupted him: "Medicine is used to save lives, not to make money for you. If you want to drive up the price of medicine, then we don't need to discuss cooperation today. I don't have to make money from you."

"No!" Wan Chen realized he was getting carried away and quickly explained, "No, the medicine is for the people. I would never maliciously raise the price to make it unaffordable. I just really want to make my shop famous."

"The Wan family has a very good reputation in the medicinal materials industry, right?" Bai Sui'an said.

"Not the Wan family." Wan Chen shook his head. "I want to start my own business from scratch and become a more powerful pharmaceutical dealer than the current Wan family. You must be wondering why, right? I..."

"I don't want to know." Bai Sui'an tapped the table with his knuckles. "Determine the scale of the store and the target audience as soon as possible. I'll listen to you and then decide whether to cooperate with you."

She didn't understand much about business, but she knew that most capitalists would exploit people.

Originally, Bai Sui'an wanted to do a long-term business, so that even if he couldn't receive bounties or make money hunting outside, he might have an income to support his family.

But if Wanchen has evil intentions, she will not cooperate with him.

Medicines are made for people to use. No one will take medicine for no reason. Anyone who buys medicine wants to treat a certain disease. If those in need can't even afford the medicine, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

"Good good!"

Wan Chen stood up and took out the papers on his desk, which recorded the various things he had thought of in the past few days.

"My mother has taught me a lot since I was a child. She knows how to make a variety of medicines. I've written down three medicines that I've improved so far: scar-lightening cream, diarrhea-stopping powder, and cough-stopping soup. I've put a lot of thought into improving them recently, and they basically have no side effects."

Bai Sui'an glanced at the papers in his hand, most of which were business models.

How can there be a medicine store that only sells these three kinds of medicine?

She shook her head and asked, "Do you understand medical knowledge?"

"I have a basic understanding of it, but the most clear understanding is the Pharmacopoeia."

"You're not right."

Bai Sui'an thought of some modern pharmacies that sell ready-made medicines and have an old Chinese doctor sitting in the store to help people diagnose their physical problems and then decide what medicine to use.

"At least there should be a doctor, right? Others go to the clinic and get medicine directly after treatment, or rely entirely on their own guesswork. If they come to you to buy medicine, if something happens to them, the first thing they will do is blame you for the problem with the medicine.

Doctors can even help with on-site diagnosis and tell people what medicine to use. If we don't have ready-made medicine, doctors can just prescribe it for people to take home and boil. You're clearly the son of a wealthy family, don't you even know how difficult it is to work in the pharmaceutical industry?"

It’s not that Bai Sui’an doesn’t trust Wan Chen, but she saw the child’s innocence in the draft written on Wan Chen’s paper.

It's like a child playing house, taking it for granted that this is the way to do it.

But the reality is different. Taking medicine indiscriminately can be fatal.

After hearing what Bai Sui'an said, the joy on Wan Chen's face turned into embarrassment. A Long and A Hu beside him wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know how to start.

Wan Chen was feeling down, and smiled bitterly, "My mother was the first to start the family business, but she passed away when I was very young. The business then fell into the hands of my father and aunt, and they never let me touch it again. I was just overthinking it."

"I really want to take back my mother's property..."
