Chapter 895: Niuhuang Medicine
Maybe she can’t survive at all. No need to mention women. Even if it was a man, without any skill, it will difficult to survive in this world.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt in despair. An ideal life cannot be achieved with a simple longing.
In the past, she could still pin her hopes on her Brother Lang. But now, her hopes were completely shattered. She wants to rely on herself, but she found out that she can’t rely on herself at all.
Jin’er fetched water back, twisted the handkerchief, and handed it to her.
Princess Qianfang took the handkerchief, wiped her face and hands carefully, then raised her eyes and asked Jin’er: “Jin’er, if I don’t want to be a princess, what do you think I can do?”
Jin’er was shocked: “Princess, what do you mean by this? You were born a princess, how can you not be a princess?”
Princess Qianfang said: “Just say if I don’t want to be a princess, what do you think I can do? Bai Zhi can use her medical skills to support herself, live the life she wants to live, and worry-free. If I want to live the same life as her, what do you think should I do?”
Jin’er looked dumbfounded. She couldn’t think of anything. What else could the princess do if she didn’t become a princess?

At the Liu Family’s Trading firm
Dongfang Mu brought Bai Zhi to the firm. Today, the firm was operating normally. However, there was no lively auction activity, just the normal trading business.
“Sir, please.” A man stepped forward to greet.
Dongfang Mu was about to introduce himself, but Bai Zhi said: “I have a medicine pill to sell, but this is my first time here. I don’t know what to do?”
The smile on the man’s face became even stronger. He then immediately led the two to the counter and said to the shopkeeper who was playing the abacus: “Treasurer Sun, this young lady said that she has a medicine pill to sell.”
The shopkeeper stopped his work, looked up, and stared at Bai Zhi, then glanced at Dongfang Mu. The old man was tall and mighty, has an extraordinary atmosphere, but also has an exquisite smile.
“Oh? What kind of medicine pill do you want to sell? Can you show me a sample at hand?”
Bai Zhi immediately took out a medicine bottle. The white small bottle has a nihuang medicine pill inside.
The shopkeeper took the bottle, removed the cork, and lightly sniffed it. A strong medicinal pill scent came out. The scent had a refreshing effect. The sleepiness that he was feeling disappeared.
“What kind of medicine pill is this?” He often received medicinal pills to be sell in the shop, but it was the first he had seen something like this.
Bai Zhi said: “Nihuang medicine pill. It is an emergency pill for a sudden attack of stroke and fell unconscious. The effect of the medicine is remarkable.”
The shopkeeper was not very proficient in medicine. So he gave back the medicine pill. He only needs to entertain customers here. The people behind him know what to do.
The shopkeeper said to Bai Zhi: “Miss, I can’t tell whether this pill is good or bad. However, there is an alchemist in our firm. He is also very good at refining medicine. He can tell the quality of the pill at a glance. You take this medicinal pill to him on the second floor. I will let the servant lead the way.”
After saying those words, he waved to the servant standing on the other end.
The servant immediately brought them upstairs.
Dongfang Mu whispered: “Why to bother?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I have to know how the Liu Family’s Trading firm works first. I wanted to know if it is the same as the rumor says. Moreover, you need money to buy things. I don’t have much money, so I can only sell some pills.”
Dongfang Mu looked at Bai Zhi and said with a bad tone: “I brought you to the firm. Is it possible that you have to spend money to buy things? You are underestimating your grandfather too much.”
When he was young, he led soldiers to fight. Although the military commander’s monthly salary was not high and cannot be considered fat, he can easily support and feed a large family.
