Number One Scholar's Spicy Wife

  Today's arrangement was not in vain. Looking at Mrs. Zhao's attitude towards the eldest daughter of the Xie family, it can be said that she is not only cold but also extremely disgusted, which is good.

  That good sister had a good family arranged for her since she was young, what's the point? As long as she just moves her hands and feet a little, this eldest daughter of the Xie family will not be able to get married!

  "Ye Zhu thanks you for your love!" Ye Ye Zhu's face was flushed with shyness, her eyes filled with gratitude as she thanked her. This made Mrs. Zhao smile with delight.

  After seeing off Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Qiusheng, Grandma let her daughters-in-law disperse, leaving Xie Wenjing alone, then pretended to be extremely heartbroken and grief-stricken.

  "Yesterday, I already told Wen Ting to tell you that the Zhao family is coming to see you today. After seeing your father, you should come early to welcome Mrs. Zhao and young master Zhao. They are your in-laws, you absolutely cannot be neglectful, if you're neglectful, who will suffer in the future? Luckily, there's your cousin, who made Mrs. Zhao very happy. You, think carefully about how to make up for this mistake!"

  "What's to be done then? Grandmother, otherwise, I'll get the nanny to take me out for a look around, buy some gifts for Mrs. Zhao, and try to win her over?"

  Xie Wenjing looked like she was realizing something too late.

  "It's okay, you're an unmarried daughter-in-law giving gifts to your mother-in-law, what matters is the thought, not how much money, but it must be done with sincerity."

  Grandma instructed in a low voice. The money for the gift was more than enough, who would pay for this dead girl? If there was less money, just let her use her own monthly allowance to buy it, and if the gift was inferior, wouldn't it be better that it couldn't enter Madam Zhao's eyes?

  Xie Wenjing just wanted the opportunity to go out, and after going out, she would take Du's mother with her, exchange the medicinal materials in her room for money, and also go to Qing Shi Alley to buy radish ginseng to replace the good ginseng on her father's side.

  Grandma smiled and watched as Xie Wenjing hastily left the main courtyard.

  "Old lady, she's going out now. What if she runs into the Zhao family? Won't there be trouble?" asked Li Ji, the old servant beside her grandmother with some concern.

  "It's even better to meet, let Madam Zhao see that this future daughter-in-law is not content with staying at home. When she came, Wenjing didn't come out to greet her, and as soon as she left, Wenjing followed her onto the main street. She wouldn't look up to such a daughter-in-law anyway."

  Grandma is very determined. Not afraid of meeting, just afraid of not meeting.

  Xie Wenjing brought Du's mother back to her own house in the courtyard, and the wet nurse couldn't help but get angry, her face turning pale with rage.

  Zhihua and Meilan saw that Du's mother looked displeased, so they quietly asked her. Du's mother glanced at the young lady, seeing that she didn't seem to mind, so she told them about all the injustices she had witnessed.

  "Miss! How could the old lady say such a thing about you? Isn't this just asking for Zhao's wife to deliberately get angry and not welcome you? And that Zhao's wife is really something else! Who does she think she is, giving her own daughter-in-law a jade bangle, but giving one to a distant niece instead? This is basically slapping you in the face! She doesn't even take you seriously!"

  Mei Lan also got angry, about the ambiguous words that Old Madam said, although she didn't fully understand them, but the fact was that Old Madam didn't send anyone to inform her yesterday, yet she told Zhao Furen that she had informed her.

  Even Mrs. Zhao deliberately slapped Miss's face, and she smiled and replaced the jade bangle for her cousin? It's simply outrageous!

  "Du Ma, Zhi Hua, Mei Lan, you all know now, right? Our situation is not good. Grandmother has ulterior motives towards my parents, but she thinks I don't understand and deceives me. Now, don't think too much, listen to me, prepare more! I pretended to buy gifts for the Zhao family, grandmother agreed, but didn't give us silver. All this shows that our future days will be increasingly difficult, so we must prepare in advance. No matter what happens, having some money on hand can prevent trouble. The over 100 taels of silver saved over the years, don't touch them! My body is fine now, these medicinal materials can all be exchanged for money. As for the people in the small kitchen, you can decoct some similar non-toxic medicines to deceive them into thinking I've taken them. This way, it won't attract grandmother's attention. Now, each of us will hide some medicinal materials in our sleeves and follow me out. Don't talk much on the road. What I need to say, I'll tell you."

  Xie Wenjing said as she divided the medicinal materials in the house, gesturing for each person to take a share. They couldn't just take them out directly and be discovered by others.

  "Miss, does your body really not need to eat these?" Zhi Hua hesitated a bit.

  "Hmm, no need, people taking too much precious medicine is not a good thing. Don't say more, do as I said." Xie Wenjing's eyes were serious.

  Several people suddenly became serious, closed the house, and took advantage of the afternoon sun. Zhi Hua opened a flower umbrella to block the sun for the young lady.

  Apparently, grandma had passed on the message and there were no obstacles all the way out.

  It's rare to come out once, Xie Wenjing seized the time and rushed straight to the Zhongda Pharmacy in her memory. This pharmacy does business by looking at goods, not people.

  Not only does she sell medicinal materials, but also purchases them. Although the prices of the purchased medicinal materials are slightly lower than those of other households, Xie Wenjing values efficiency at this time. Even if it's a bit cheaper, what matters most is speed and convenience.

  While other larger pharmacies have complicated procedures and are not suitable for me.

  Xie Wenjing knew she looked young, so after arriving at Zhongda Pharmacy, she let Du's mother go in alone to exchange the medicine.

  Du's mother was a bit nervous, but Miss said it very firmly. As long as the medicine is good, Zhongda Pharmacy won't care where you get the medicine from.

  As expected, the medicinal materials brought by Xie Wenjing not only included some symbolically given by her grandmother, but also some from her third uncle's family and some randomly taken by her second aunt, as well as a large quantity of precious medicinal materials brought by the Zhao family, all of which were exchanged for money by Xie Wenjing in one go.

  They exchanged a total of 800 taels. Especially Zhao's medicinal materials, the money they exchanged accounted for more than half, which made Xie Wenjing feel relieved.

  "Go, go to the clothing store and buy clothes!" Xie Wenjing's words left Du Ma, Zhi Hua, and Mei Lan with a confused expression.

  Xie Wenjing didn't say a word and led the three of them directly to the second floor of an apparel store. This was a very ordinary apparel store, with almost all customers being common people.

  Although Du's mother and the three of them looked at each other in dismay, the young lady didn't say a word, nor did anyone else, they just followed closely behind.

  When they came out, Xie Wenjing and Du's mother, Zhihua, Meilan, the four of them had already lost their original appearance.

  Yes, Xie Wenjing just wanted this set of clothes, which can conceal her origins.

  Not only that, but Xie Wenjing also drew a few strokes of herself and the three of Du's mother, changing their appearance quite a bit. Dressed like this, if they were to meet the slaves who came out of the Xie family, they probably wouldn't be recognized either.

  "Go, to the Green Stone Alley!" Xie Wenjing led them directly into a small alley, and after making a turn inside that small alley, they finally arrived at the Green Stone Alley from her past life memories.

  Du's mother's eyes widened in surprise, "Is there really such a place in Yangzhou?" This quiet little alley had various medicinal herbs, fabrics, decorations and more on both sides, as well as calligraphy and paintings, snacks and other things.

  But the people who are buying and selling all seem to be dressed as ordinary citizens or servants. No wonder Miss wanted us to change our clothes.

  What if someone finds out that I'm the master's precious daughter, will something bad happen?

  "How much is the carrot?" Xie Wenjing stood beside a stall selling fake carrots, just as a young man dressed in casual clothes was asking about the price.

  "Three or two, one root, no deception to old and young!" The vendor shouted in a loud voice. He was a man in his thirties with a prominent scar on his face, which made Du Mama and others following Xie Wenjing nervous.

  "Too expensive! Three hundred coins for one? The young servant haggled."

  "Go buy it over there for three hundred coins, I'm only selling three taels here, if you don't want to buy then don't block others from buying! Scram!" The big man yelled, scaring the little fellow's face changed color, and he hastily ran away.
