The two waited outside for a while, and soon Dujuan came out.

Mei Niang winked at Cuihua, the little maid beside her, and Cuihua took the money and went in immediately.

After Cuihua went in, a little medicine boy came to greet her. Perhaps because the clinic was small, coincidentally there was no one to see any patients inside.

The little medicine boy walked up to Cuihua and asked, "Miss, would you like to see a doctor or get some medicine?"

Cuihua glanced around and whispered to the little medicine boy, "Little medicine boy, this is what happened. The little girl who just came in bought some medicine, but my master said it wasn't enough, so she asked me to buy some more."

The little medicine boy looked at Cuihua in confusion, "Which girl are you talking about? We have several girls here today."

The little medicine boy looked at Cuihua tentatively. Normally, they were not allowed to disclose the prescription.

Cuihua also understood what was going on, so she took out a handful of silver and handed it over. "It's a little girl named Dujuan, wearing a light green dress, who looks a little taller than me."

Cuihua’s description was very accurate, and the little medicine boy quickly knew who she was talking about.

The little medicine boy glanced at the silver in his hand and lowered his head, "Sister, according to our industry rules, we don't allow this kind of thing to happen here."

Cuihua took out a handful of silver and handed it to the little medicine boy. "Brother, I'll be frank. The master asked me to buy medicine, but I lost the prescription. How about this? Tell me the prescription and I'll buy the medicine from another place. Is that okay?"

"Little brother, please help me. As long as the two of us don't tell anyone, no one else will know."

The little medicine boy turned around and looked at the doctor and the others. Seeing that no one was looking at him, he looked at the three-year-old silver in his hand with a wavering expression on his face.

Cuihua secretly scolded the little medicine boy, saying he was too greedy. She took off a plain gold bracelet from her wrist and said, "My dear brother, this is the only valuable thing I have. I really don't have any more."

Seeing Cuihua like this, the little medicine boy could only nod and said, "Hehuan Powder, remember, what she bought is called Hehuan Powder. Okay, leave quickly, and remember not to come to me again in the future."

Xiao Cui nodded, gave the little medicine boy a grateful look, turned around and left.

Cuihua turned around, looked around, and followed her master.

The two of them walked to a less crowded place, and Cuihua explained quietly, "Master, I asked about this matter, and they said that Dujuan went to buy Hehuan Powder."

Mei Niang frowned, her brain spinning rapidly.

Hehuan Powder? Why would a pregnant woman buy this? Was she using it herself? That was impossible, too dangerous. Or was she selling it to someone else? Was she trying to improve the maidservant around her?

But Chu Xiao doesn't have the heart to do that.

Mei Niang thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that it was more likely that Chu Xiao used it herself.

Then at that time - Mei Niang suddenly figured it out. Since someone was asking for trouble, there was no need for her to take action. If all else failed, she wouldn't mind helping out at the critical moment.

Just as Mei Niang was about to leave with her maid to find a clinic, she discovered that the plain gold bracelet on her maid's hand was gone. Mei Niang thought about it and knew why.

The two of them first found a small shop selling gold jewelry. There were very few styles inside, and it was usually used by ordinary people for weddings and funerals. Occasionally, someone would go in and buy something, but they would never register their name.

Mei Niang first bought two caps, then found a little girl at the door, gave her some money, and asked her to go in and buy a plain gold bracelet. She gave her a brief description, and the little girl didn't ask any more questions, and soon came out happily.

He gave the gold bracelet in his hand to Mei Ning, took the remaining money and left happily.

Mei Niang held Cuihua's hand and put the gold bracelet on her personally. "These two bracelets are exactly the same. When this matter is over and the master has some spare money, I will change one for you."

Cuihua looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist and said, "Master, this is not necessary. We can still wait a while. After all, we don't have much spare money."

Mei Niang shook her head. "You don't understand. The gold bracelet on your hand suddenly disappeared. This is the biggest loophole. Also, send this news out."

At the same time, Dujuan hid and returned to the Duke's Mansion, and then went straight back to her own yard.

At this time, Chu Xiao was sitting on a chair, looking anxiously outside the door, wanting to know the ending.

Soon, Dujuan came back, and the panic on her face could not be concealed.

Chu Xiao stood up, stepped forward and grabbed Du Juan's wrist, "How's it going?"

Du Juan glanced around and nodded, "Master, it's done."

Chu Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Where's the stuff? Hurry up and take it out so I can see it."

Du Juan reached into her bosom and took out a small porcelain bottle. She held it tightly in her hand and looked at Chu Xiao like a sister. "Master, do we really have to do this? Isn't this too risky?"

"You are now pregnant with the Duke's eldest son. As long as you give birth to the child safely, won't everything be fine?" Du Juan still wanted to persuade her master. After all, the current situation was very good for them.

Chu Xiao shook her head, walked to the side and sat down, stroking her belly and thinking for a while, "You don't understand, there's someone in the Duke's Mansion who's been pregnant longer than me. There are only two things I can do now."

"One is to capture Rong Ziyu's heart, and the second is to get rid of the bastard in that little bitch Mei Niang's belly."

Du Juan wanted to say something, but Chu Xiao waved her hand and said, "Alright, stop talking. This is it. I must be the most favored person in this Duke's Mansion, and my child must also be the most favored person in the future."

Du Juan grabbed Chu Xiao's arm and said, "But Master, there's a legend that the Crown Prince offended Prince Rui last time and was deposed. Now he's no longer able to do anything. Won't this be discovered?"

Chu Xiao snorted coldly, "You don't know, I heard that the Qiao family invited a miracle doctor to cure the Qiao family's daughter. The master and the mistress took the prince to see him, and I heard that he was cured."

Du Juan nodded. If that was the case, they would need to cultivate their relationship. After all, if the prince recovered and he married his wife in the future, their good days would be over.

Chu Xiao handed the porcelain bottle to Du Juan and said, "Just do as we said. Remember not to let anyone find out, and prepare everything I asked you to equip."

Du Juan nodded carefully and put the porcelain bottle back into her arms. "Master, don't worry, I will definitely get it done!"
