The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again! Chapter 31

Chapter 31

We’re Going to Be Rich!
Doctors were rare to begin with, and it was even rarer to see a capable woman like Gu Qingxue.
Huang Rongfa was determined to get such a talent, but he deliberately put on an awkward look just now because he wanted to test her out.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingxue was so decisive in doing things that Huang Rongfa was so scared that he did not dare to have any more tricks up his sleeve.
“That’s good. My name is Gu Qingxue. You can call me Lady Gu. These are my three children. Lil’ Lin, bring your siblings to greet the shopkeeper,” Gu Qingxue requested.
“Good to meet you, shopkeeper. My name is Gu Lin, and these are my younger brother and sister.” Gu Lin went forward and cupped his hands in greeting. Although he was young, his etiquette was not bad at all.
Dumby and Lingbao looked at their elder brother’s appearance and followed his example. They were quite passable.
“Eldest Young Master’s temperament is extraordinary. Second Young Master and Young Miss are also ice and snow cute. Lady Gu is very lucky,” Huang Rongfa smiled. “Just now, Lady Gu said that she had wanted to meet me. May I know why?”
“Previously, when I went up the mountain to pick herbs, I accidentally obtained a pretty good herb. I wanted to ask the shopkeeper to help me collect this herb and exchange it for cash.” As Gu Qingxue finished speaking, she took out the brocade box from her sleeve and handed it to Huang Rongfa.
Huang Rongfa took it with both hands and opened it. He was shocked when he saw it. “Is this… is this the Worry-Relieving Grass?”
“The shopkeeper has a good eye. This is the Worry-Relieving Grass that I found by chance. Please give me an estimate,” Gu Qingxue said indifferently.
Huang Rongfa frowned. “Are you sure you only want to exchange it for money? This herb is rare. It’s not impossible for you to exchange it for other more precious herbs.”
“The herbs are precious, but I need money urgently. I’m willing to sell them even if it’s less,” Gu Qingxue said indifferently.
How could she not know how precious the Worry-Relieving Grass was. If she was not in a hurry to sell it, she would bring the Worry-Relieving Grass to the big cities in the future. When she met those high-ranking officials, she would definitely be able to sell it for an extremely high price.
However, the three children were growing, and they needed money for food, clothing, and shelter. She could endure it for a few days, but she could not watch the three children suffer together with her.
Huang Rongfa looked at the three children beside Gu Qingxue. He thought for a moment and said, “I’ll give you one thousand taels of silver.”
“Pfft!” Dumby spat out the tea in his mouth.
One thousand taels of silver?!
Not only Dumby, but Gu Lin, and Lingbao were also stunned.
“Big brother, one taels of silver is a lot of money. How much are one thousand taels of silver?” Lingbao and Gu Lin asked carefully while whispering in each other’s ears.
“Of course, it’s a lot of money! We’re going to be rich!” Dumby said happily while blushing in excitement.
However, Gu Qingxue frowned, “No, one thousand taels of silver is too little.”
The three children widened their eyes in surprise and disbelief.
Did they hear wrong? Did their mother think it was too little?
However, to the surprise of the three cubs, Huang Rongfa actually nodded, agreeing with what Gu Qingxue said.
“Yes, of course, it can’t be only one thousand taels of silver. This one thousand taels is the deposit I’ll give Lady Gu. Lady Gu, I’ll tell you the truth. It’s a waste to give me your Worry-Relieving Grass. I suggest you send this thing to Yamen and ask the county master for a reward,” Huang Rongfa said seriously.
Gu Qingxue was immediately interested. “What do you mean?”
“Miss Gu, please take a look at this first.” Huang Rongfa took out a notice from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qingxue.
