After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.
Chapter 20 Rare Treasures
"Of course, the old lady can have someone divide the medicine into several portions and test them to see if what this woman says is true or false."
Xue Ruanruan generously handed the jade-white porcelain bottle to Granny Fang.
"That's a good idea, but I don't know where to find people with tattoos or body art."
"Grandmother, what kind of medicine is this, and what are its effects?"
Arthur couldn't understand, so he asked directly.
"Look at my memory, I forgot to tell you something."
The old lady had no choice but to tell the two the whole story.
"There are such miraculous potions?"
Asri was stunned. She loved to paint, using the painting style of their Western Regions, and often ended up covered in paint that she couldn't wash off no matter what she did.
"This is what the young lady said. Whether it works or not still needs to be tested."
The old lady was unsure, after all, she had lived most of her life and had never heard of such a miraculous medicine.
“Grandmother, your granddaughter-in-law has a few old clothes that are stained with paint and can't be worn anymore. Why don't you try these on?”
"Go and get it quickly. Oh, by the way, the stableman at home has a tattoo on his face. Have the servant put some on his face as well."
The Xue family had a groom who had been falsely accused and branded. After his name was cleared, the tattoo on his face could never be removed, so he was reinstated.
Grateful for the Xue family's life-saving grace, he willingly became the coachman.
If the girl's potion can remove the tattoo on his face, he can be reinstated to his original position. With his talent, he is sure to achieve great things in this life.
"Yes, I will deliver it right away."
The little maid in red quickly grabbed a cup, poured out some medicine from the porcelain bottle, and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.
The maid in blue turned and went to the backyard to fetch the second young mistress's clothes.
Xue Ruanruan glanced at the stranger. Whether her medicine was effective or not, there was plenty of evidence to prove it, leaving her no chance to question it.
"Alright, let's not wait for them any longer. Granny Fang, please apply the medicine to the two young ladies."
Princess Lingjun was eager to know the result, and instructed Granny Fang to apply the medicine to the two of them.
"Yes, ma'am."
Granny Fang didn't dare to delay. She soaked a handkerchief in the medicine and began to apply it to the butterfly-shaped birthmark.
Knowing that the initiative was no longer in her hands, the stranger glared resentfully at Xue Ruanruan and had no choice but to cooperate by revealing her butterfly birthmark.
"What a beautiful butterfly."
Arthur has a passionate love for painting, and when he saw the birthmark on Xue Ruanruan's delicate skin, he exclaimed in surprise.
She had never seen such a vibrant birthmark.
"It's really beautiful."
Princess Lingjun responded gently, saying that the midwife who delivered her daughter had said the same thing.
"Madam, the clothes are here."
A young maid in blue came running in from outside, panting, carrying two or three plain-colored long dresses.
"Lancao, give me your clothes."
Asri eagerly picked up the clothes from the maid's hands and poured some medicine on a few particularly stubborn stains.
"It's faded, it's really faded."
Before long, the stains on the clothes gradually faded away, and the area where the medicine was poured was unusually clean, while the rest of the clothes remained the same as before, stained with paint.
"Young lady, this potion is really effective. Could you sell me some?"
Arthur really liked the dress in her hand, but she couldn't wear it anymore after it was accidentally stained with paint.
"If the young mistress wishes, I can give her a few bottles; there's no need to buy them."
In her previous life, Xue Ruanruan was very fond of her two sisters-in-law. She would give them whatever her second sister-in-law liked, since she had plenty of medicinal herbs in her space anyway.
"How could I take advantage of you? I'll buy it with money."
Arthur refused to accept the girl's potion for free.
"Alright, if the young mistress wants to buy, then it will be ten coins per bottle."
Xue Ruanruan knew that the family was going through a difficult time. Her father and two brothers were guarding the frontier, but the dog emperor refused to send troops to reinforce them, let alone transport grain. He only knew how to indulge in a life of debauchery and pleasure.
Grandmother, mother, and two sisters-in-law used all their dowry to buy grain, but now it was the dead of winter and grain prices were skyrocketing.
Even with all the resources of the General's Mansion, the grain they managed to buy was only enough to feed the soldiers for ten to fifteen days—a drop in the ocean.
"Alright, I'll have the maid go get the money right away."
Asri had no clear understanding of prices and didn't know that the potion only cost ten coins, which wasn't even enough to cover the cost.
"Madam, Madam, the coachman's tattoo on his face has been removed, it's really gone."
The excited voice of the little maid in red came from outside.
"Is it really that amazing?"
The old lady and Princess Lingjun exchanged a glance, their faces filled with shock.
"Indeed, the coachman was so excited that he shed tears, and said he wanted to come and express his gratitude."
"Granny Fang, help me up. I want to examine the birthmarks on the two young ladies myself."
The old woman thought that the two girls had applied the medicine for a while now, and it should be taking effect soon.
"Yes, old lady."
Granny Fang relaxed and quickly helped the old lady walk towards Xue Ruanruan.
"Huh? I don't know if it's because I'm old and my eyesight is failing, but the birthmark on this young lady looks a bit lighter than before."
The old lady squinted and beckoned Princess Lingjun to come forward and take a look.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law's skin looks lighter than before."
As soon as Princess Lingjun finished speaking, the butterfly birthmark on the stranger's body disappeared.
"Young lady, do you have anything to say?"
The old lady glared at the strange woman, almost certain that she was a fraud.
"Madam, Madam, I came here with evidence to claim my kinship, but this woman followed me here early the next morning and used some kind of potion to dissolve the birthmark on my body. I am more wronged than Dou E!"
How could a stranger easily admit defeat? As long as she stubbornly refuses to admit it, she might still get a share of this immense wealth.
"Do you know that impersonating an official's daughter can land you in jail?"
The old lady suddenly questioned her sternly, radiating a chilling aura, her eyes fixed on the strange woman.
"...I understand."
The stranger was indeed startled. Then, remembering the words of the person who had given her the evidence, she immediately lowered her head in shock.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense; the other party stubbornly refused to admit it, and no one could do anything about it.
The old lady was indeed worried that the medicine might have other effects, such as being able to eliminate everything but not the birthmark on the other girl's body.
After all, she was the one who gave them the medicine, so if she had tampered with it beforehand, they naturally wouldn't know.
"Wait, Madam, Madam, I have something to say."
Knowing that the time was right, Xue Ruanruan called out to her grandmother and mother.
"Please speak freely, young lady."
"Yes, young lady, you can tell me if you have any difficulties, and I'll see if there's anything I can do to help."
Princess Lingjun thought Xue Ruanruan was in trouble and responded gently.
