Yun Shang's heart was beating fast. According to the information collected by the secret guards, Lady Mina didn't have many friends in her daily life. Her best friend was the wife of the Lord of the Wu Er'he City.
And just now, Lady Mina said that her friend, with a special identity, was not convenient to come to Qingcheng House and hoped that Yun Shang could meet her at her place.
From this, it could be guessed that the friend she mentioned was most likely the wife of the city lord.
Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "Okay. But I'm deaf and dumb. I'm afraid I have to bring two attendants with me. One of them will convey the messages for me, and the other will bring some commonly used pills and herbs for me in case of need."
"Okay." Without any hesitation, Lady Mina said, "You can even bring a few more people with you. They can wait outside. Two personal servants will go with you."
"That's even better. Thank you very much." Yun Shang nodded, "When will it be?"
"Now? Are you available?"
Right now? That would be great.
Yun Shang nodded and asked servants to pack up. Then she followed Lady Mina into the carriage.
"Did you just come to the Wu Er'he City? I've never seen you in the city before, nor heard of your name." As the carriage moved, Lady Mina began to inquire about it intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yes, I just arrived at the Wu Er'he City a few days ago." Yun Shang nodded, "I used to live in the Bianxi City."
"The Bianxi City?" Lady Mina was surprised.
"Yes, the Bianxi City. At that time, my husband's family was a famous family in the city. I didn't have to work in public. I didn't have any other hobbies except for skin care every day. The Bianxi City is located at the border of the State of Yelang, close to the State of Xia. Before the war between the State of Xia and the State of Yelang started, I was interested in some medical skills and medicinal materials of the State of Xia. I learned from a master for a period of time, but there was no other use, so I used them to take care of my face.
Later... The Bianxi City was destroyed, and my family was destroyed. My husband risked his life to protect me and my child, but he died there. I was depressed for a period of time, and then I thought that I had to raise a child. I couldn't go on like this, but I didn't have any other skills. The only thing I was good at was to take care of my face, so I started to make a living with this.
The terrain of the Wu Er'he City and the Bianxi City are somewhat similar. They are all cities built in the desert, which makes me feel a sense of security, so I came here."
Lady Mina smiled and said, "Your face is indeed exceedingly beautiful. I've heard that you're already thirty-two, but you don't look that age at all."
Yun Shang also smiled, "My husband was a businessman. He often went out for business. There are so many tempters outside. If I didn't try my best to make myself more beautiful, what should I do if my husband was seduced by another woman? So I have to take good care of my face."
It seemed that Lady Mina could deeply relate with this. Lady Mina kept silent for a while and then nodded, "You are right."
The carriage finally stopped after proceeding for a while.
Supported by Liu Man, Yun Shang got off the carriage. She looked up and saw herself in a deep alley with only a small door in front of her.
"My friend has a special identity. Lady Wanna, please come in from here."
"It doesn't matter." Yun Shang lowered her eyes and went into the yard. She followed her around several yards before entering a larger yard. There was a woman shooting arrows with a bow in the yard. She was beautiful with a heroic look.
Yun Shang moved her hand in her sleeve.
Wu Duona's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes, what you said is indeed what I want to change. Do you have a way?"
Yun Shang nodded, "Yes."
Wu Duona's eyes were full of joy, but the smile on her face quickly disappeared. "It's just that the people who serve me are not very meticulous. I'm afraid that if they don't do well enough, it can't achieve the desired effect. How about you come to recuperate me in person?
I heard from Mina that you only have a ten year old child and you have just settled down in this city. This way, you don't have to open the Qingcheng House in public. You just live here and take good care of my face. I can pay you a lot."
Yun Shang was a little surprised and hesitant when she saw Liu Man's gesture.
"What are you worried about? What else do you need? Just tell me. I'll do it as long as I can." Wu Duona squinted and looked at Yun Shang with a smile. "By the way, does your child have a teacher?
As long as you are willing to help me, I can find the best teacher for you to teach your child. What do you think? It is known to all that it is not easy to hire an outstanding teacher in the Wu Er'he City. As for me, as long as your child wants to learn, I can help you."
This was a rare opportunity for a mother.
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and gestured, her facial expression looking like she was confirming with Wu Duona, "Madam, can you really find a teacher for my child?"
Seeing Yun Shang's reaction, Wu Duona knew that she was right about Yun Shang's weakness. "Yes, the best teacher in the city."
"I'll do it."
