As soon as the woman left, Yun Shang gave a look to the secret guard. The secret guard immediately followed her out.
On this day, Qingcheng House received a total of seven guests.
"Five of the seven guests are ordinary people, and one is the concubine of a rich businessman in the city. The first woman to come today is a madam who serves the wife of the leader of the city guards."
Yun Shang nodded, "Probably she's here to inquire for her master."
"Yes, madam." The secret guard nodded and said, "I have also found out that the wife of the leader of the city guards and the wife of the local official are best friends."
Yun Shang nodded, not surprised at all. "The Wu Er'he City is not very big. There are only a few powerful and influential people in the city, and most of them have connections. As long as one of them knows my place and recognizes what I offer, it won't be difficult to break into their circle."
Yun Shang tapped her finger gently and said, "Now, let's wait and see. We'll wait for the ointment that madam took back to work. We'll wait for her real master to come to us."
She had told the woman that the ointment she had prescribed would have an obvious effect in at most three days.
She could afford to wait for three days.
But fortunately, she didn't let her wait for three days.
Two days later, as soon as Qingcheng House opened, a carriage stopped at the door.
Hearing the noise, Yun Shang looked up and saw the door of the carriage was pushed open. The madam she had seen before came down, stood aside, and reached out her hand to the carriage. Yun Shang's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, a woman in her thirties came out of the carriage. She was dressed elegantly, and her clothes and jewelry were all exquisite and luxurious. However, her face was covered with a veil.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and watched them come in. Then she raised her hand and gestured something.
"My lady said that this madam came here two days ago. Judging from madam's face, it's much whiter and softer than two days ago, and the spots on her face are much lighter. It seems that the effect is not bad."
The madam nodded and said, "Lady's medical skill is indeed magical, and I bring my master here today."
Yun Shang then pretended to look at the lady, with her hands moving non-stop.
"My lady said that if madam wanted her to help, she should take off the veil on her face."
The woman hesitated for a moment, but did not immediately take off her veil.
Yun Shang heard that the madam seemed to be persuading the woman, and then the woman took off her veil.
Only then did Yun Shang see the woman's face clearly. Then she understood why she covered her face with a veil. It turned out that there were many red pimples on her face.
The madam said something, and the secret guard gestured to Yun Shang, "My lady has had these things on her face for more than two years, and they haven't recovered all the time. After her face getting a little better, they will come out again. Over and over again, does Lady Wanna have a cure for that?"
Yun Shang thought for a moment.
"Could you please stretch out your hand and let my lady take a pulse?"
Yun Shang smiled, "It's still three days. After three days, you can see the change on your face." "Thank you, Lady Wanna."
After the two people left, Yun Shang smiled. Liu Man came out from behind the screen and said in a low voice, "This is the wife of the leader of the city guards, Lady Mina. She and her own sister are both married to Duoji, the leader of the city guards. It was a favorite tale in the city that
year."
Hearing what Liu Man said, Yun Shang had an idea. "So, the person who poisoned Lady Mina is most likely her sister, right? Became a favorite tale? Outsiders will watch the fun. Only insiders know the real bitterness and sorrow."
That night, Yun Shang heard from a secret guard, "I heard that Lady Mina found evidence today that her sister poisoned and tried to murder her, and she quickly dealt with her own sister. She sent her own sister out of the city, but kept the child of her sister. She said that her sister was vicious and couldn't teach the child well.
The leader of the city guards went back home as soon as he got the news, but he failed to save his beloved concubine."
Yun Shang took a sip of tea and said, "I thought Lady Mina was easy-going, but I didn't expect her to be so shrewd.
It has been two or three years. Even if her appearance has been destroyed, she still firmly holds the position of the wife of the leader of the city guards. Such a person must be shrewd."
"You are right." Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "That's good. The shrewder she is, the better. And it's more advantageous for me."
Although Lady Mina had dealt with her sister quickly, she still came to the Qingcheng House to take medicine every morning. For three days in a row, Yun Shang saw the change on her face with her own eyes. "It's better today than yesterday. The pimples on her face have been shrunk, and the color has changed, and the scars have begun to form."
Lady Mina nodded and said, "Lady Wanna, my friend heard me talking about you and wanted to see you as well. But she has a special identity, so she wants to invite you over. What do you think, Lady Wanna?"
