The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingxue looked helpless. "Sigh! I just can't do anything with you! Runyue, let's reattach her wrist!"

"Miss, I haven't learned how to fix wrists yet!" Runyue was unwilling to let this wicked old woman off so easily.

"Just go back the way you dislocated the wrist!"

“Alright!” Runyue took a deep breath, picked up the old woman’s wrist, gripped it tightly, and then pushed her away with all her might.

"Oh no! Something's not right!" Runyue exclaimed, dislocating the old woman's wrist again, readjusting her position, and pushing it back in.

After several attempts, the old woman was writhing in pain, her mouth stuffed with rags so she couldn't make a sound. It took a long time before they finally managed to reattach her wrist!

"Let her go! Let her leave through the back door." Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss!" Li Xia and Manager Cai said in unison!

"We can't get anything out of her? Should we invite her to lunch? Runyue, go!" Jingxue gestured to Runyue.

"Yes!" Runyue pulled the old woman to the back door, pushed her out, clapped her hands, and came back!

"Manager Cai, go and send a clever waiter to follow her and see whose household she belongs to!"

Hearing Jingxue say this, Lixia and Manager Cai understood what Jingxue meant.

Soon, a shop assistant came out of the shop.

After arranging things for the staff, Manager Cai returned and asked, "Miss, are we really going to limit each person to selling only ten catties per day?"

Jingxue sighed. "We did this for two reasons. First, to benefit the people who have no food. Poor people don't buy 30 catties at a time, and they don't mind queuing up a few more times if they really want to buy. Second, we are afraid that someone will hoard our grain and sell it at a high price!"

"There's no better way right now, so let's leave it at that for now! At least it can ensure that some families don't run out of food! Rather than selling all the grain and closing down, we might as well make it a steady stream!" Jingxue frowned, there really wasn't any better solution.

"Got it, miss!"

"Manager Cai, who cooks here? Are there any rooms available?"

"Before, the servant and the shop assistant took turns doing the work, but these days we've been busy and have been eating at the grocery store!"

"This backyard has a kitchen and five rooms, just enough for the five of us. However, it can be two or three people per room, Miss. What do you want?"

Manager Cai regretted asking the question as soon as he did, as Li Xia had instructed him not to ask any more questions. He immediately said, "I'm sorry, Miss, I have overstepped my bounds!"

Jingxue waved her hand and said, "It's alright, where's the stove I asked you to prepare?"

"Already prepared!"

"Oh! By the way, in a couple of days I'll have the bricklayers come and build heated kang beds in all the houses in the backyard where people live, including all the shops!"

Jingxue stood up. "That's all for now. Everyone, please be careful when you go out. Today's incident should serve as a warning to us all. Don't go out alone! Runyue, let's go!"

The three of them walked towards the general store. Jingxue glanced at Runyue and said, "Yueyue, haven't you learned how to reattach your wrists yet?"

"Yes! I did it on purpose. Miss, didn't you say that I won't offend others unless they offend me, and if they do, I'll repay them tenfold? I only repaid her four or fivefold today! I didn't break her wrist at the beginning; she pushed me, and that's when I fought back!" Runyue said angrily.

Jingxue smiled after hearing Runyue's words and didn't say anything more. She was wondering who was behind this cook.

Li Xia was also thinking about this problem at this time.

"Miss, who do you think sent that old woman? I suspect she's a fellow professional!"

Jingxue nodded. "It's highly likely they're traveling with us! We'll know when that guy gets back! Also, there's someone spying on us in the warehouse! Anyway, let's be careful! It's not the thief we should fear, but the one who's eyeing us!"

“Miss is right!” Li Xia nodded.

In fact, Jingxue could have caught these people herself, but even if she caught them this time, there would be a next time, since she had affected the interests of some people.

But business always involves competition. If other grain shops lower their prices, they can still make money. It's just that they are too greedy, so they can't blame anyone else!

Li Xia returned to the general store, and Jing Xue took Run Yue to the next room. Manager Peng was having picture frames installed on the wall. It was the same wall, but some white gauze curtains had been loosely hung up.

But it looks completely different.

It would be great if the store could provide more materials!

Upon seeing this, Jingxue suddenly had a flash of inspiration; she knew how the fabric shop could add new products.

I told Manager Peng that we would be opening on the 28th, and I also arranged for her to order some custom-made items.

Jingxue took Lixia by carriage to the cloth shop. Manager Wang was quite happy to see Lixia bringing her boss.

Just as he was about to report on the situation in the shop, Jingxue interrupted him, saying, "Manager Wang, I know the situation in the shop. Get me some fabric and cotton; I need them urgently! Not whole bolts of fabric, but large scraps of cloth, in various colors!"

"Okay, miss! Please wait a moment!"

Before long, Manager Wang brought over a large bag of cloth scraps and two large bags of cotton!

Jingxue didn't delay. After sending Lixia back, she went back to the Prince's Mansion with Runyue!

As she was getting off the carriage, the driver called out to Jingxue, "Your Highness, this servant has a favor to ask of you!"

Jingxue only knew the driver as Lao Guo. He was a very honest man, and he was the one who drove the cart to the village and for other purposes.

"Tell me what's going on!"

"It's like this, my wife is also from our household, she's the cook who prepares meals for the prince. These past few days, she's been having stomach aches, sometimes better, sometimes worse. Last night, the pain was so bad she almost fainted, but the physician prescribed medicine, and it only helped for a short while!"

"This servant originally intended to find a doctor outside, but our family physician is highly skilled. If he can't do it, I doubt any other doctor outside will be able to either. I saw that you cured that girl from last time, so I would like to beg you to take a look at my wife!" After saying this, the coachman knelt down and kowtowed.

Jingxue quickly helped him up, "Then Lao Guo, let's go to your yard and let your wife see her!"

Old Guo hurriedly called over the servant at the door and asked him to help take the carriage to the backyard.

The three of them turned left and right and came to a courtyard with about six or seven rooms. "Your Highness, this is our courtyard and the courtyard of several other couples. My wife has not been to work these past two days."

"Woman, woman, the princess is here! I beg the princess to take a look at your health!" Old Guo shouted.

Jingxue: I'm here to see a doctor about the illness, not the body!

A faint response came from inside the house. Jingxue and the other two entered the house, where a woman was struggling to get out of bed.

Jingxue rushed forward, "Don't move! Lie down!"

The woman, sweating profusely, cried out, "Your Highness, why have I disturbed you? This lowly servant's life is worthless... Ugh..."

"Oh dear! Don't vomit on the Princess Consort!" Old Guo quickly came over and helped his wife up.

The woman vomited nothing and, unable to bear it any longer, lay down on the bed.

Jingxue said softly to the woman, "It's alright. Do you sometimes feel nauseous and vomit?" She gently placed her hand on the woman's wrist and began to take her pulse.
