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

Chapter 344

The Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess both looked grim.

Madam Liu was even more flustered. She glanced at the Empress Dowager, unable to make a decision.

"Your Majesty... our Liu family absolutely did not intentionally harm anyone... Sheng Sheng did not do it on purpose." Madam Liu knelt down and said.

Murong Yu raised his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, "What does the Empress Dowager think?"

The Empress Dowager said, "Regardless of whose fault it is, the eldest daughter of the Liu family has suffered a loss. She is an unmarried woman who has lost her leg. How is she supposed to live in the future?"

This sounds familiar.

The Empress Dowager said this when Zhou Zhilan's appearance was disfigured.

Now she has entered the harem.

Yun Xiyue glanced at Zhou Zhilan, whose eyes held a resentment like a venomous snake ready to pounce and bite her at any moment.

Her appearance had not recovered, and she had to use heavy rouge and powder to cover it up every day. She wanted to endure it, but she was also afraid that the emperor would find out about her ugly face.

“My master made a bone-healing ointment that can cure her broken leg,” Yun Xiyue said.

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

"The legendary doctor has returned to the capital?"

"No, the bone-healing ointment is a formula developed by my master. I learned it from him and can make it myself."

"However, the medicine is expensive, costing 10,000 taels per box. We will determine how many boxes to use based on Miss Liu's injuries."

The eldest princess said unhappily, "You caused Sheng Sheng to fall from her horse and break her leg. You should apologize to her. Why would you want ten thousand taels for plaster?"

"Everyone says it was an accident. If Liu Musheng's arrow had hit me and I had died, would the princess have made her be buried with me?" Yun Xiyue asked coldly.

The eldest princess's eyes darkened slightly. "Hmph, nonsense! Aren't you doing just fine now?"

"Sheng Sheng has a broken leg."

Yun Xiyue sneered, "Her broken leg is her own fault. If she had no intention of harming others, she wouldn't have suffered such retribution. I, Yun Xiyue, act with integrity; I will not offend others unless they offend me."

"Now that the evidence is right in front of her, proving that she fell from her horse in an accident, why should I give her the plaster for nothing?"

"If the Liu family doesn't want to buy the plaster, then forget it and don't come looking for me again."

The Zhou family shows no remorse.

As a result, Yun Xiyue refused to sell her the ointment.

Madam Liu quickly signaled to the princess not to pursue the matter further.

Continuing to argue will only harm your daughter.

Now that Yun Xiyue has the Emperor's blatant favoritism, if she refuses to sell her ointment to the Liu family, no one can do anything to her.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Yun. I'll take three boxes of ointment."

"The silver notes will be sent to the Yun residence shortly."

Yun Xiyue immediately took out three boxes of ointment. "Your Majesty, I brought the ointment in. I originally thought it was an accident and was planning to give it directly to Miss Liu to build goodwill. But now that things have turned out like this, the Liu family and the princess resent me deeply and think that I harmed Miss Liu."

The eldest princess and Madam Liu's expressions changed slightly.

"I don't want any unnecessary trouble in the future, so I asked His Majesty to send the imperial physician to examine the plaster. The Liu family guarantees that no matter whether Miss Liu's leg can be fully healed or what problems occur after using the medicine, I will not be held responsible."

Liu Muyuan frowned. "What do you mean? Are you saying you can't guarantee that these three boxes of plaster will cure Sheng Sheng's leg?"

"Yes, because I haven't had much time to learn medicine from my master, so I can't guarantee it," Yun Xiyue said.

"You want to charge ten thousand taels for something that can't be guaranteed?" Liu Muyuan was furious.

"So let's make it clear in advance: if you can accept it, then accept it; if you can't, then there's no need to spend the money."

Everyone was speechless.

This means she only does one-off deals.

They will not take responsibility for the consequences when something goes wrong.

Having lost both his wife and his army, the Liu family was seething with anger and nearly vomited blood.

They were caught in a dilemma: whether to buy the plaster or not.
