After Steward Mo brought over a pen and paper, Xue Fanxin wrote a prescription for Gu Jinyuan. “Consume it according to the formula. Take one dose every day. I’ll come back for a checkup in three days.”
Gu Jinyuan took the prescription and looked at the crooked words on it, almost bursting into laughter.
He had not expected the esteemed heiress of the Duke’s Estate to have handwriting inferior to that of a five-year-old child. But why did he find these crooked words so cute?!!
Xue Fanxin could tell at a glance that Gu Jinyuan was mocking her for her ugly handwriting. She rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, “Laugh if you want to. Aren’t you afraid of internal injuries from holding it so hard?”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. Please forgive me.”
“Tch, I’m not a cultured person, nor do I rely on writing to eat. What’s the big deal if my writing is ugly?”
“So I’ve been told. But can these herbs written in the formula really treat my injuries?” Gu Jinyuan looked at the perscription again. The herbs were all ordinary. Apart from a few that were slightly more expensive, anything else could be bought easily.
He had been ill for too long and had taken too many medicine in the past ten years. He could be considered half a doctor. Hence, he knew very well what the medicine on this prescription was.
“Of course, relying on these medicines alone won’t be able to treat your injuries, but with my acupuncture skills, it won’t be a problem. Take the medicine for three days first before arriving at a conclusion.” Xue Fanxin switched the topic to herself. “If I treat you, shouldn’t you pay me?”
Gu Jinyuan was stunned at first, then smiled elegantly. “You’re a straightforward person, Miss. What would you like as payment?”
“I want you to help me with something.”
“Sure.”
Gu Jinyuan agreed without even thinking, making Xue Fanxin feel a little strange. “Aren’t you going to ask what it is?”
“The Xue family army has become a thorn in the Nanling Emperor’s heart. He will definitely do his best to get rid of it. After failing to assassinate the Duke, he will turn his attention to the Xue family army. Without the Xue family army, no matter how powerful the Duke is, he can’t do anything. You want a large amount of silver for the Xue family army, right?”
“You?” Xue Fan looked at Gu Jinyuan in shock, her heart wary.
It seemed like her identity had long been exposed. The Heavenly Treasure Trading Company was indeed powerful.
Xue Fanxin took off her veil and revealed her true appearance. “So Young Master Gu already knows my identity, yet I’m still acting mysterious in front of you. What a joke.”
“Miss Xue, you’re being too serious. I can guarantee you that apart from me and Steward Mo, no one else knows your identity.”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t have anything to hide anyway. I’m just here to sell something,” Xue Fanxin said indifferently. Clearly, she did not care about her identity being exposed at all.
She had not done anything outrageous. What was there to be afraid of if her identity was exposed?
“Don’t worry. Your identity will not be leaked from the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company. About the Xue family army, I believe Miss Xue already has plans.” Gu Jinyuan changed the topic, not wanting Xue Fanxin to remain embarrassed.
Anyone would feel embarrassed if their identity was exposed. However, he did not see any emotions in Xue Fanxin. It seemed that to her, exposing her identity was truly not a big deal.
This little girl was very special.
“I want to disband the Xue family army and let them leave the Imperial City safely. It’s best if they can leave the Nanling Empire. Although it doesn’t sound difficult, it will be challenging to carry out. Once the Nanling Emperor finds out about this, he will send experts to intercept the departing Xue family army. So I hope Young Master Gu can help. As long as you help me send them away safely, I promise to treat your injuries.” Xue Fanxin proposed a fair trade.
If Gu Jinyuan really wanted to live, then he would have no choice but to agree to this deal.
With the power of the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company, helping the Xue family army leave the Nanling Empire was not difficult.
