Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Wang Daba felt that Xu Qing's words made sense, and the old doctor's words also made sense.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask first: "Madam, is it really impossible to find that barefoot doctor?"

Xu Qing answered affirmatively:

“I have no reason to lie to you. You just said it yourself, even if I sell you the prescription.”

They can continue using it, so why bother with the money? That's 1000 taels of silver!

If she could produce the prescription, she would have really wanted to sell it to them.

Xu Qing had considered selling the medicine directly to them, but it was Western medicine after all.

Furthermore, the color of the powder is different from that of modern Chinese medicine, making it too easy to give away the deception.

When Wang Daba received Xu Qing's reply, he was not as disappointed as he had been at the beginning.

Having talked with Xu Qing for so long, he grew to like his wife even more for her composure and calm demeanor, even after learning of his identity as the son of a prefect.

In addition, this young lady is a widow, so it would be appropriate to take her into the household as a concubine.

Having made up his mind, Wang Daba resumed his arrogant and condescending attitude.

"I heard you've come to Haiqu to do business. May I ask where you live, madam, and whether your parents are still alive?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow, why are you asking about my family affairs? Don't you know that's very impolite?"

Seeing that the matter of the prescription seemed to be over, Xu Qing didn't want to chat with these people anymore.

All I wanted was for Wu Yu to transport the rubber seedlings to the dock, load them up, and leave this place as soon as possible.

She must have a bad relationship with Haiqu, because she's only been here two days and has already encountered so many unpleasant things.

Xu Qing's blunt words made Wang Da Ba feel embarrassed and annoyed, and he wanted to turn around and leave.

Then he suddenly realized that the girl didn't know his feelings, so it was indeed inappropriate to ask.

Wang Daba calmed down again and even picked up the tea on the table to pour himself a cup.

He struck his most dashing and debonair pose, and took a sip of tea.

The arrogant man looked up at Xu Qing and said:

"Since you are a widow, do you have no intention of remarrying? Now that I am interested in you, I am willing to take you as my concubine."

I had planned to surprise you, and after finding out the details, I would send a matchmaker to propose marriage. However, you seem to have mistaken me for one of those lecherous men.

"So? Now you know what I really meant, aren't you overjoyed?"

The elderly doctor sitting on the other side was struck dumb; he felt something was wrong with his ears.

Otherwise, how could I have heard such a thing?

This woman is a widow with a child. How could the son of a high-ranking prefect possibly be interested in her?

He must have been so angry with this woman that he's hallucinating.

"I'm happy for you, my foot! You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. With your ugly appearance, I'd rather become a monk than marry you as a concubine!"

Xu Qing was so angry that she spoke without thinking; this man was truly disgusting.

She's ugly, yet so confident.

Just because he is the son of the prefect?

This time, not only was the old doctor stunned, but even Wang Da Ba was frozen in place.

He thought that after he said those words, Xu Qing would definitely be extremely grateful to him.

After all, he was the son of the prefect, and even the position of a maidservant was something that countless women would fight tooth and nail for.

Before he could react, Xu Qing spoke again:

"Your interest in me is like a huge blessing, but I'm sorry, I have absolutely no interest in you."

Do you know how many people are after me? Someone like you wouldn't even make the cut! Go somewhere cool and stay there.

If you dare to harass me again, I'll report you to the authorities and let your father know that his eldest son is chasing after a widow.

"Have you no shame at all!"

Xu Qing finished speaking in one breath, and the nausea in her heart was finally released, making her feel much better.

Not wanting to give her even a kind look, Xu Qing got up and left.

Wu Tie was afraid that Xu Qing would be taken advantage of, so he kept wiping the table around her, ready to rush in at any time.

Hearing Xu Qingyu's shocking words, the tablecloth fell under the table.

"The waiter."

"Waiter!?"

"Waiter!!! Are you deaf?!"

The customers next to him who were ordering food called him more than a dozen times before Wu Tie finally came to his senses.

He bent down to pick up the tablecloth from the floor, responded repeatedly, and ran towards the guest.

"Hey, it's coming."

The old doctor wished he were deaf at that moment, for he had heard so closely that Young Master Wang was being rejected so mercilessly.

He felt like his life was over.

His clinic has probably reached its end in Haiqu City.

The old doctor made a quick decision, gave the apprentice a wink, and the two of them simultaneously gave themselves a handful of sleeping potion and passed out.

Wang Da Ba left the inn feeling dizzy and lightheaded; he didn't even know how he got home.

Back in her room, Xu Qing was still speechless. She couldn't understand how that man could have the nerve to say such things.

Shouldn't she have avoided any appearance of impropriety upon learning that she is a widow? Why is she still eagerly getting closer to him?

To avoid any further trouble, Xu Qing decided to stay home for the next two days and wait for the saplings to be loaded onto the ship.

Ye Wushuang was so engrossed in her daily wanderings that she didn't want to return to the inn. She would leave in the morning and wouldn't come back until curfew.

Fortunately, he had 10 guards protecting him, so ordinary people couldn't bully him.

Cui Hanxiu's holiday was coming to an end, and he was preparing to return to the capital to report on his work.

Before leaving, he asked Xu Qing somewhat embarrassedly if he could have a copy of the prescription for the medicine he was taking.

Xu Qing wrote directly to him, saying that he should take advantage of the Minister of Justice's influence.

Time flew by, and as he was about to leave, Xu Qing remembered something and decided to go to the trade market one more time.

Ye Wushuang wanted to accompany her, but Xu Qing refused, only bringing Wu Yu instead.

On the way, Wu Yu asked with a hint of doubt, "Madam, the saplings have all been transported to the dock and loaded. Is there anything else we need to do at the market?"

He wasn't a talkative person, but he was afraid that Xu Qing might have something else to say about the saplings, so he asked.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that I need to buy something."

"Later, go to Aji's and order a wooden crate for me, according to these dimensions. I need to pack some things in it."

Xu Qing took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Wu Yu.

Wu Yu took it: "Yes, madam, I'll hurry up and finish making the wooden box first."

After saying that, Wu Yu limped away as fast as he could.

Xu Qing strolled around the market for a while, and when she estimated that it was about time, she headed towards Aji.

Aji often makes custom wooden crates for his customers to ensure the survival rate of the plants during transportation.

Therefore, he had many planks there.

When Xu Qing arrived, the two had just finished ordering the lids for the wooden crates.

"Madam, you've come at the right time. May I take a look at this box?"

Wu Yu asked.

Xu Qing walked around the wooden box, quite satisfied.

The wooden crate was sturdy and airtight, so you couldn't see what was inside from the outside.

"That's good. How much is it? I'll give it to you together with the final payment for the rubber tree seedlings."

Aji waved his hands repeatedly: "Madam, what are you saying? I'm grateful to you for supporting my business. It's just a small wooden box, why would I need to pay you?"
