The Remnant King's Royal Pet: The Secret Service Medical Concubine

Chapter 29
Mu Chu's face darkened, although doing so would make General Xu think badly of her, but now this is her first step, and she must not just let it go.

"The general is wrong, my daughter's consultation fee is 1000 taels!"

General Xu paused and took a deep look at Mu Chu.

"What does Ms. Mu want so much money for? This general remembers that you sold your dowry and you have a lot of money!"

Although General Xu is a military commander, he is not someone who is easy to fool. He understood the meaning behind Mu Chu's words, and asked a special question.

1000 taels is nothing in the general's mansion, but it cannot be given to others for no reason.

Mu Chu raised her head slightly, without explaining too much, she smiled lightly and said, "Why did Doctor Lan choose to use the little girl's prescription this time, does the general know?"

General Xu stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head.

A few strands of thought appeared in his resolute face, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Although Mrs. Xu's illness is not serious, it will take a few months to be cured. With my medicine, I guarantee that the illness will be cured within ten days!"

General Xu was slightly taken aback, seeing Mu Chu's firm eyes, he was a little more interested in the ugly little girl in front of him.

"So what, the general has never heard of any medicine that needs 1000 taels of silver. Even if you ask Dr. Lan to treat the disease, it won't take so much!"

Mu Chu raised his head and looked at General Xu firmly: "Then, what if the medical skills are better than Lord Lan? And does the general think that Madam's body is not worth the 1000 taels of silver at all?"

General Xu laughed, and his eyes became a little colder: "You are really eloquent, little girl, come and get 1000 taels of silver!"

The maid stepped back, and Mu Chu got up without haste, and glanced at the yard in the distance.

"Madam's illness requires taking a pair of these medicines every day for at least seven days. In the past few days, please send someone over to my house every day to get the medicine!"

General Xu frowned: "Could it be that the doctor and servant girl in my mansion can't brew it by themselves after knowing your prescription?"

Mu Chu smiled slightly: "General Xu can ask Doctor Lan for advice on this matter, he knows the reason best!"

General Xu stopped talking, and ordered Mu Chu and Nanny Lin to be escorted out of the mansion.

With a 1000 taels of silver in his pocket, Mu Chu was in a good mood.

Originally, I thought about going out to buy a maid without money, but now I finally let go.

Mu Chu opened the curtains along the way, looking at the scenery outside, the streets were crowded with people, vehicles and hawkers coming and going swayed in front of her eyes.

This feeling of crossing time and space once again swept Mu Chu's mind, and she was a little lost in thought for a while.

Nanny Lin reached out and pulled La Muchu's dress, and Mu Chu came back to his senses: "Mother Lin, what's wrong?"

"Ugh..."

Nanny Lin made a faint sound in her throat and moved her lips. Mu Chu instantly understood what she meant: "You mean, does the matchmaker here have good maids?"

Nanny Lin nodded. She has lived here for many years. Although she is blind and dumb now, she still knows a lot.

Mu Chu took Nanny Lin out of the carriage, and directly knocked on the small door in the corner of this alley.

The door was slammed open from the inside, an elderly woman saw what Mu Chu was wearing, and her face suddenly turned into a flowery smile.

"Miss, come in quickly. I'm here to pick out maidservants. We just happened to have a few newcomers here recently. They are all well-trained. You will definitely be satisfied!"

The prostitute yelled, and a lot of little maids dressed in plain clothes came out of the house that looked like a courtyard.

These maidservants stood in two rows, one by one with their heads bowed in silence, some had thin faces and messy hair, and some were fair, but they weren't doing very well. Seeing this scene, Mu Chu felt a little sore in his heart.

In my previous life, if I hadn't had abilities different from ordinary people and was favored by the country, I'm afraid I would still live a life worse than hell.

A faint cold light flickered in her eyes, and she scanned around.

"Miss, are you satisfied? This is Chunyue, she is very good at being a female celebrity, this is Xing'er, she can do all kinds of hard work, and this..."

The matchmaker spared no effort to introduce at the side, Mu Chu looked at the timid appearance of those girls, and sighed softly: "Is there any more?"

The matchmaker was stunned for a moment: "I don't know how many maids the lady wants to buy?"

"One!"

Mu Chu stretched out a finger and directly saw the disappointed face of the prostitute.

The prostitute thought it was a big deal at first, but now she seems to have no idea, she just shook her head impatiently, and let the maids back down: "It's gone, it's all here!"

Mu Chu frowned, and saw the little girl who was not standing among the maidservants, but was wearing dusty clothes, hiding in a corner and still washing clothes.

Looking at her back, she is about fourteen or fifteen years old, almost the same age as her.

Mu Chu pointed at the girl's back, and asked curiously, "Is she selling it?"

The matchmaker followed Mu Chu's line of sight and glanced at the maid, seeming to understand something, and looked Mu Chu up and down.

"That one is a mute who can't speak, does the lady want it too?"

The toothmaid's voice was obviously a little sharper, and now she glanced at Nanny Lin who had never spoken next to Mu Chu, and immediately laughed: "Since Miss likes only dumb people, well, this maid is cheap." I'll sell it to you soon, 50 taels of silver!"

The prostitute made it clear that a lion opened his mouth wide, and stretched out five fingers.

Mu Chu frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Nurse Lin, this maid is too expensive, I wanted to find you a companion, but it looks like I'll let it go!"

Mu Chu pulled Nanny Lin and walked away without looking back.

The matchmaker suddenly became anxious and realized that she wanted too much, so she quickly shouted: "40 taels... how about 40 taels?"

Mu Chu stopped, stretched out a finger and looked at the matchmaker: "There are only ten taels, if you don't sell it, forget it!"

The matchmaker was taken aback, and stared at Mu Chu's back through gritted teeth, but her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

"Okay, deal. I'll have someone fetch this maid's deed of prostitution for you in a while!"

Mu Chu finally stopped, and led Nanny Lin to the little maid who was doing laundry.

She knelt down slowly and looked at her carefully.

The little maid was dressed in gray cloth, but her back was sitting straight, her arms were white and tender, only her hands were covered with many scars.

When Mu Chu came over, she glanced at her with some fear, then stood up, bowing obediently.

Mu Chu stretched out her hand and grabbed the little girl's wrist. She relaxed her frown and smiled at the little girl: "What's your name?"

The little maid opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she didn't make a sound at all.

Mu Chu frowned, she didn't expect the little maid's dumbness to be caused by someone poisoning her.

Mu Chu sighed in his heart, people in this era are like this, some people can spend 2 taels to treat a minor illness, but some people's lives are not worth ten taels of silver.

"Is it a lime?"

The little girl was taken aback, she didn't expect Mu Chu to know what she was talking about.

"Don't be afraid, follow me from now on, I won't let you suffer!"

Mu Chu's voice was deep and kind, with an inexplicable affinity.

The little maid's eyes were slightly surprised, and now she saw the fierce look in the prostitute's eyes, she immediately lowered her head.

The prostitute smiled and said: "This maid was bought back by the eldest lady voluntarily, and she will have nothing to do with us in the future. This is the girl's contract of sale, and I hope the lady will take care of it!"

Mu Chu directly gave the toothmaid one tael of silver, and took the little girl out.

The little girl was dirty all over, her hair was obviously not washed for a long time, and it was a mess.

It was getting late, and the three of them ate outside directly. When it was almost time for dinner, Mu Chu returned to the gate of Mu Mansion.

Two servants stopped Mu Chu's footsteps, "Second Miss, after Madam asks you to come back, go directly to the main courtyard to meet her!"

Mu Chu hummed, entered the courtyard, and handed the little maid to Nanny Lin: "Mommy, I'll come back as soon as I go, you take this girl back to my courtyard!"

Nanny Lin nodded, and took the little maid's hand with some pity.

Mu Chu thought for a while, and said to the two of them, "Wait a minute!"

She took out the contract of sale from her bosom, and stuffed it directly into the hands of the little maid: "This is your contract of sale, I bought you back to test the medicine for Nanny Lin when she was treating her throat. It would be harmful, but I also wanted to ask you if you would!"

Nanny Lin glanced at Mu Chu in shock, and shook her head again and again.

Mu Chu knew what Nanny Lin was thinking, she frowned slightly and said, "Nurse Lin is too old to bear the power of the medicine, and as long as I make the medicine to treat the throat, you can talk again, do you agree or not? I still want to ask for your opinion!"

Tears flashed in Qing Ning's eyes, but it was not because of Mu Chu's words about testing the medicine, but because of what she said later that she could speak again.

There was no reason for her to disagree, so she quickly nodded in agreement.

Because she knew that a servant girl like her was very cheap, even if the master really wanted her life, there was no need to tell her.

After solving the problem of the little maid, Mu Chu tidied up his clothes and walked towards the residence of Yue Shi, the main courtyard.

Her mind was slightly concentrated, and she couldn't figure out what Yue's intention was.

After walking not far from the main courtyard, she saw two servant girls whispering in earnest. Today the moon is shining brightly, illuminating the expressions of the two of them clearly.

Seeing the conversation between the two of them, Mu Chu felt confident. He never thought that King Li was still in the mansion so late.

When she came to the gate of the courtyard, the maid inside immediately went inside to report, and after a while, she ordered Mu Chu to go in.

The room was brightly lit, surrounded by candlelight, Yue Shi was sitting above, and two people were sitting not far below.

Mu Xue's face was rosy, with a slight smile hidden in the corner of her mouth, she was sitting on Li Wang's side, and the two were very close.

Now with the queen mother's will, the relationship between the two is already a matter of publicity, so they will not hide it at all.

When Li Wang saw Mu Chu enter the door, the light in his eyes instantly turned into disgust.

Yue's eyes fell on Mu Chu, and asked pretending to be majestic: "Chu'er, where have you been today, and you didn't even tell your mother that you are already getting married, don't you know that now? Are people in the whole capital talking about you?"
