Chapter 224 Take her out more often

Xu Lin did have something she wanted to say to Xu Zhaozhao. She was proud of her seniority and didn't want others to hear her asking for help, lest she lose face again.

Now that the aunt and niece were walking slowly forward, Xu Lin made sure there were no other younger relatives before she whispered, "Zhao Zhao, Qian'er is making a huge fuss right now, and I have no other choice but to come to you for help. No matter how expensive the medicine is, I will pay for it. Please help me get some more."

Sun Qian's scars have indeed faded somewhat, but it's impossible for them to be completely healed.

If it's lighter in color, and with some makeup skills, it's already good enough to be able to go out in public.

“Aunt, there’s no need for that. I’ll think of another way to get the scar removal cream. We’ve almost gathered the medicinal herbs. We’re just waiting for my men to come back from the south. Once we have all the herbs, I’ll try to ask someone for help. As you know, Aunt, I only have a superficial understanding of these things. I’m not the one who’s really capable.”

Xu Lin was already very satisfied that she was willing to agree.

"Alright, alright, Qian'er's face is all in your hands now. Your uncle and I are currently looking for a husband for her, and once we find someone, she'll probably get married this year. I know the injuries on Qian'er's face are hard to heal, but I'd be very grateful if they could fade a little and allow her to go out and meet people."

Xu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Look at what Auntie is saying. We're all family. I'll definitely help if I can. Auntie, when you go back, please comfort my cousin. I estimate that we should have definite news in less than a month."

Xu Lin was overjoyed: "Then I'll be waiting."

"it is good."

After seeing Xu Lin off, Xu Zhaozhao's eyes gradually turned cold.

What are you so grateful for?

But it's just talk.

Xu Lin and Sun Qian are indeed mother and daughter; when they ask for favors, they are so humble and say all the nice things.

If you get in their way, they will not hesitate to push you out to shield them from swords and knives.

Unfortunately, they are relatives, so we can't be too far apart, nor can we be too close.

You have to be on guard against them biting you at all times!

Later that evening, Xu Zhaozhao took the small bottle to find Princess Anhe.

Now that Xu Junfeng has gone on his campaign, the life of the county magistrate of Anhe is quite peaceful.

Zhang would often come over to sit for a while, and Wang Ruolan and Li would often invite her to play backgammon together, just to distract her from worrying about the war in the distance.

Princess Anhe was well aware that the Marquis's mansion treated her well.

Now that Xu Zhaozhao has come looking for him, Anhe quickly had someone invite her inside to talk.

“I just got home not long ago. I was thinking I would see you first thing tomorrow morning, but I didn’t expect you to make a special trip over here.”

"I've come to discuss something with my second sister-in-law."

Princess Anhe looked surprised: "What is it?"

"Second sister-in-law, you've heard about how Princess Leyang and I were working on medicinal herbs, haven't you?"

"How many nobles in the capital don't know about this? Princess Qi's family has been in the medicinal herb business for decades, so it's perfectly normal for you to cooperate with her."

"Second sister-in-law, I know that the Princess Consort has capable people under her command. I wonder how many she gave as part of her dowry?"

Princess Anhe immediately understood: "You want to ask about the pharmaceutical business?"

Xu Zhaozhao chuckled: "Does Second Sister-in-law know about Cousin Sun Qian's disfigurement?"

"Yes. She brought this upon herself. I originally thought she was innocent, but later I heard from your second brother that she and Jiang Ning wanted to harm you, but you and Princess Leyang managed to escape, and that's why she suffered the backlash."

"My aunt brought up the scar removal thing again today. I was thinking, if I could get the formula from that old sage, why don't we work together?"

Princess Anhe was taken aback: "Cooperate with me? If you have the formula yourself, just do it yourself. Don't you have people under your command?"

Xu Zhaozhao sighed, "How can that be the same! I'm already so busy making hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs. I haven't gotten the recipe for the Jade Beauty Cream yet, but I feel like it'll be soon. If you really manage to make it, wouldn't you like to come with me, Second Sister-in-law?"

Princess Anhe was naturally tempted.

She was a woman herself, so she naturally understood how much women cared about their appearance.

Moreover, that Jade Face Cream is indeed effective, but it is expensive and cannot be afforded by anyone who is not wealthy.

"My dear sister, you're trying to take care of my business. As your sister-in-law, I really feel guilty towards you."

"Second sister-in-law, please don't say that. It's not that I'm taking care of you, but we're family, and this business is perfect for you. You see, I didn't mention the papermaking business to you before because I knew you didn't have anyone with the skills in that area. And my eldest sister-in-law happens to have someone, so we went directly to her."

This incident, by way of mentioning it, explains what happened back then.

Princess Anhe was not a petty person, and she was not short of money, but she was still very happy that Xu Zhaozhao had explained it to her like that.

The two discussed for another half hour and finally settled on some of the plans.

Xu Zhaozhao went to get the prescription first, while Princess Anhe had someone screen all the capable people under her command. This was a highly profitable product, and she absolutely couldn't let anyone stab her in the back.

The reason why the county magistrate of Anhe County became more and more excited was because Xu Zhaozhao said that she wanted to create two products.

One type was specifically designed for the female relatives of high-ranking officials and nobles. It was expensive, and both its packaging and effects were exceptionally superior.

Another type is prepared for the women of moderately wealthy families. The price is more affordable, and only one or two bottles are needed per year. This type is all about volume. Don't be fooled by the lower price; in reality, you might earn more than with the better one.

Although Princess Anhe had never personally run a business, she had learned to manage accounts and read books since childhood. In addition, with the help of the servants selected by the Princess Consort, she held onto her assets very tightly.

Princess Anhe likes people like Xu Zhaozhao; when there's something good, she'll naturally prioritize her own family.

As for Princess Leyang, everyone knows that firstly, she gets along well with Xu Zhaozhao, and secondly, Princess Leyang is deeply favored by the Emperor, and Prince Qi, like the Marquis, is only loyal to the Emperor.

Therefore, since the two families are close, the Emperor will not blame them.

Xu Zhaozhao has taken care of everything.

Princess Anhe was naturally busy with the new workshop.

This put Wang Ruolan at ease, after all, she was still young, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would lose her appetite and have trouble sleeping.

Now that she has something to do, she won't be overthinking things all the time.

Because Xu Zhaozhao was busy with the new prescription, she didn't leave the house for several days after returning home. This worried the old lady a lot. How could Chen Xiangxiang meet those noble ladies if Xu Zhaozhao didn't go out?

"You wouldn't normally do this. Now that spring is in full bloom, why don't you think about inviting your girlfriends out for some fun?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. But I need to discuss it with Princess Leyang first before I can send out invitations to all the ladies."

The old lady was quite satisfied: "That's more like it. Young ladies should go out and travel more."
