Thinking of this, Ling'er firmly said, "My mind is made up about annulling the engagement, there's no need to say anything more."

Madam Wu said urgently, "Ling'er, as long as you two get married, all of the Wang family's property will be under your control, and you will even have the final say on everything in the mansion from now on."

"lady……"

The maid beside her couldn't help but open her mouth.

Madam Wu was extremely assertive, but now she had lowered herself for her son's marriage, relinquishing her power in managing the inner palace. This meant that she, as the mother-in-law, would have to live at the mercy of her daughter-in-law from now on.

"Are you referring to me when you say you're announcing the engagement?" Upon hearing this, Wang Mu had a pretty good idea of ​​the girl's identity.

The eldest daughter of the Li family in Xuzhou Prefecture runs a herbal medicine business and, with the help of the Wang family, has achieved the status of a first-class family in Xuzhou Prefecture.

Wang Mu was unable to cultivate from a young age, but this Miss Ling'er was different; she had shown exceptional talent as a pharmacist since childhood.

With his family running a herbal medicine business, he was well-versed in medical books from a young age and was able to refine elixirs independently by the age of sixteen. He is now a ninth-rank pharmacist.

Of course, this was also inseparable from the strong support of the Wang family, and the marriage agreement between the two sides was the condition for the Wang family to support the Li family.

Wang Mu was somewhat moved by Wu's compromises for her son, but he was still unable to integrate into his new identity and could only watch silently.

At that moment, two more people walked into the room.

One was a thin, middle-aged man wearing a blue overcoat with gold trim on the collar and cuffs. The other was about the same age, but had prematurely gray hair, a pale complexion, and looked sickly, with deep vertical lines between his eyebrows.

"Master, please try to persuade Ling'er as well." Madam Wu ran to the side of the sickly middle-aged man.

"Alright, that's enough." Wang Lishi, the head of the Wang family, sighed.

The other middle-aged man was Li Si, the head of the Li family. He said to Wu, "Sister-in-law, please don't blame me. I've come here today to deliver the letter of divorce."

Madam Wu's brows furrowed, and she said sternly, "Li Si, what did you say when your family was down on its luck? If it weren't for the help of our Wang family, would you be where you are today?"

A hint of shame appeared on Li Si's face. "Anyway, we brought the letter of divorce with us, and our Li family has already signed it. Even if you don't agree, the result will be the same."

“Master…” Madam Wu looked pleadingly at the pillar of the family, hoping he could think of a solution, but Wang Lishi sighed, “I’ve said everything I can, but they are very adamant.”

"Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Wang family?" Madam Wu glared at Li Si.

She was born into a wealthy family and was a second-generation rich kid before she got married. She became much more restrained after marriage, but she couldn't hold back anymore at this moment.

"Sister-in-law, I forgot to mention, Ling'er has been chosen by an elder of the Linghai Sect and taken as a disciple. She'll be reporting for duty in a few days," Li Si said.

“No wonder, no wonder.” Madam Wu’s face turned pale.

The sect and power of cultivators in the Linghai Sect.

The Great Qi Dynasty governs the world, but the various professions are powerful, and it is rumored that high-level experts can even split mountains and cleave seas.

These powerful figures established their own sects and were true local emperors, not giving face to the Great Qi court for a long time.

Even the most talented ordinary person can only reach the ninth rank in cultivation and can only choose to enter a cultivator's sect to continue their cultivation. However, it is said that the Spirit Sea Sect has a sixth-rank expert.

Since Li Ling'er has joined the Linghai Sect, she naturally doesn't need to care about the Wang family.

At that moment, a figure suddenly stepped forward, picked up a pen, and quickly signed his name on the letter of divorce.

"Is it alright?" Wang Mu looked at the Li family father and daughter and said coldly.

He couldn't stand it anymore. The dignified God of Medicine had been jilted. If those old monsters from his previous life knew about this, they would laugh their heads off.

It's just a marriage, after all. On the road to advancement, women will only hinder my progress.

Li Ling'er glanced at Wang Mu with surprise, but quickly retorted sarcastically, "At least you have some self-awareness."

After saying this, she left with her father.

“Mu’er…” Madam Wu glanced at her son worriedly. “Hmph, the Li family thinks they’re something special just because they’ve latched onto the Linghai Sect. Just wait, your mother will definitely get revenge for you. If I don’t destroy the Li family, I, Wu Lanxin, will change my name.”

This mother… Wang Mu began to understand why this body was in such a state.

But somehow, it feels so great to have such a domineering mother...

“Why bother…” Wang Lishi sighed, wanting to say something, but was immediately shut up after being glared at by Madam Wu.

"I want to rest for a bit." Wang Mu lay down, thinking to himself, "This cheapskate father of mine is such a coward."

"Then you should rest well." Wu gently covered her son with the blanket, then grabbed her husband and was about to leave.

"Wait, give me some money," Wang Mu suddenly said.

"What do you need the money for?" Wu asked curiously, but quickly pulled out a large stack of silver notes. "Your health isn't good yet, so you're not allowed to go to places like that again. This is your pocket money, so be careful with it."

Pocket money?

Even Wang Mu, who was used to seeing big scenes, was taken aback by the silver notes in his hand.

The smallest one is worth a thousand taels, so this huge stack must be worth at least twenty thousand taels.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, an ordinary family's monthly expenses were only about ten taels of silver.

……

After watching his parents leave, Wang Mu immediately jumped out of bed, straightened his clothes, and prepared to go out.

Of course, he didn't intend to run away from home. In his self-diagnosis just now, he made an accurate diagnosis of his body and, of course, determined the best treatment plan.

The typhoid fever he contracted in the womb left him with a very weak constitution, making him an extremely difficult patient to cure in this world. Perhaps high-ranking pharmacists could help, but in the entire city of Xuzhou, the highest-ranking pharmacist is only ninth-grade, so it's clear they can't cure him.

But others can't, but he can.

In the previous life, Peiyuan Pill was the most common type of pill for strengthening the body and solidifying the foundation, but it was most suitable for treating the root cause of the disease left over from the mother's womb.

Wang Mu left with a large sum of money. The streets of Xuzhou were lined with shops. Although it was only a medium-sized city, it had everything, especially a lot of pharmacies.

This is also thanks to the Wang family. Although they dominated most of the market, they created a reputation for the pill market in Xuzhou City, attracting many people to buy medicine. Some small and medium-sized shops were also able to survive here.

He didn't choose his own family's pharmacy, mainly because he was afraid that if acquaintances saw him doing these things, they would think he was up to something.

The good-for-nothing son of the Wang family actually wants to refine pills? Isn't that a joke?

He had to deal with the onlookers before he even started.

Wang Mu walked up to a very large pharmacy.

This is one of the largest pharmacies on this street, with several rows of medicine cabinets filled with pills in porcelain bottles.

This is also a common way to sell pills on the market. After the pharmacist refines the pills, he seals them with wax to preserve their medicinal properties, and then sells them in bottles.
