Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 161

Especially since he hasn't developed an Adam's apple yet.

"They were all summoned by the lady for questioning."

Yun Xiyue understood that her mother wanted to ask the people around her to see if she was still being bullied in the palace. "Okay, put the medicine down! I can do it myself."

Bei Ye knelt down at her feet, saying, "I can do it."

Watching him carefully apply the medicine, Yun Xiyue realized how handsome he really was. "How old are you?"

"I don't remember, it should be before fifteen!" He moved gently.

Not even fifteen years old, so that means fourteen?

"Yue'er." At this moment, Yun Xiaohan's voice came from outside. He walked in hurriedly and anxiously, disregarding etiquette. He saw her applying medicine, and her snow-white legs were dazzling.

His ears immediately turned red, and he quickly turned around.

Bei Ye glanced at him and silently helped her pull down her trouser legs, then tidied up the medicine bottle, got up, and retreated outside to stand guard.

Yun Xiaohan thought he looked unfamiliar. "Who is she? The new maid?"

"Hmm... I bought him from the slave market, his name is Ye'er." Seeing that he hadn't discovered Bei Ye's identity, Yun Xiyue simply continued to conceal it.

"Your face is all sunburned." Yun Xiaohan thought to himself angrily. If the other person wasn't the emperor, he would have beaten him up right now.

"Yue'er, don't go to the palace anymore. I will take responsibility for the imperial merchants' affairs."

Yun Xiyue was both amused and exasperated. "The Empress Dowager summoned me to the palace. There was nothing I could do about it."

"Is it because of the Zhou family?"

Yun Xiyue nodded. "The Zhou family is really troublesome. It is said that Old Madam Zhou and the Empress Dowager are very close friends."

Yun Xiaohan said, "That's right. In addition, the Zhou family is one of the great families of the Great Xia Dynasty, so they are indeed not easy to deal with."

"They definitely won't give up until they get the scar removal cream."

"I heard the Empress Dowager wants you to make a scar-free cream?"

Yun Xiyue's eyes darkened slightly. "Yes, it was suggested by Old Madam Zhou. She wanted to use this as a pretext to force us to help buy the scar removal cream."

"So what do you plan to do?" Yun Xiaohan sat down.

"Since they want the scarless cream, I'll just give it to them. It's a good opportunity for me to promote the cream and make some money from it."

"You can buy the plaster at our pharmacy then."

Yun Xiaohan took a sip of tea. "Wouldn't that expose your identity as the disciple of the Divine Healer and Ghost Hands?"

"Although I am my master's apprentice, I can only make plasters, pills, and sachets, but I don't know how to seek medical advice or diagnosis."

"So I don't want to reveal my identity. If all else fails, I'll just say that I contacted the miracle doctor and bought the items from him."

Yun Xiaohan felt this was inappropriate. "What if someone comes to us asking us to find a miracle doctor to treat our illness?"

"The scar-free ointment was bought from the miracle doctor, but it's not very effective. You can make your own and sell it at a pharmacy. Our family isn't short of money. Your safety is more important. I don't want anyone to cause you any more trouble."

But she's short of money!

She had promised to give Murong Yu ten million taels of silver. If she didn't find a way to make money quickly, she didn't know when she would be able to earn ten million taels of silver for him by relying on just two shops.

"The Empress Dowager asked me to make a scar-free ointment. I'll pretend that I invented it myself, change the name, and sell it in pharmacies without any problem."

After the two discussed it, Yun Xiaohan wanted to stay and have dinner with her.

Yun Xiyue was very happy and immediately went to have him prepare his favorite dishes.

"Brother has been very busy lately. Is there a lot going on with the Imperial Merchants?"

Yun Xiaohan smiled and said, "It's alright! I have to do everything myself. If it were my own shop, I could hand it over to someone else to manage. But as a royal merchant, I have to deal with people in the palace."
