night.

"Okay, that's it, use a little more force!" Liu Ruxuan sat in the chair with great enjoyment as Xiyue massaged her shoulders.

"Miss, you've had a long day!" Xi Yue's massage technique was excellent. Liu Ruxuan kept her eyes closed, too lazy to even open them: "Yes, I was almost exhausted."

“Miss is so kind-hearted. I’m sure many people will remember her kindness today for the free clinic!” Xi Yue said truthfully. Liu Ruxuan was very pleased to hear this: “Hehe, you little rascal, you have such a sweet tongue. But starting tomorrow, you can’t be idle. You have to help me out. Tomorrow is the official start of business, so you can take charge of the accounts.”

"Xi Yue will certainly live up to Miss's expectations!" Xi Yue said happily.

"Okay, remember to prepare a veil for yourself," Liu Ruxuan instructed. Wearing a veil was a rule established by Liu Ruxuan. In fact, her main purpose was to avoid the gaze of the Liu family and avoid causing trouble, since it was not the time for her to show her face yet.

"Yes, Miss." Xi Yue couldn't wait to help.

For several days in a row, Yongrentang was always packed with people, mostly from poor families, so Liu Ruxuan received very little in consultation fees.

After finally finishing seeing all the patients for the day, Xi Yue couldn't help but run up to Liu Ruxuan and complain, "Miss, the consultation fees we collect don't even cover the cost of the medicine! How are we supposed to make a profit?"

“Xiyue, you must call me Master here! Our profession is to heal the sick and save lives. If our prices are too high, they might die of illness without being able to afford the medicine. Can you bear to watch them die in agony?” Liu Ruxuan said, taking out a stack of letters from a drawer under the table. Chuyang was grinding ink beside her, offering no comment.

"My great leader, I'll do whatever you say." After saying that, Xi Yue returned to her work station and continued working.

The pharmacists' association has been very quiet these past few days, with almost no one coming in. The four pharmacists and the association president sat down together again.

"It's strange. Ever since Yongrentang started charging money, the price of medicine has been lower than the cost price. They're losing money!" Peng Yize said.

“Yes, it’s made it so that we have no business left.” Zhuo Hanlin frowned.

“Yongrentang was opened by a woman named Ruxue. It’s truly remarkable that she managed to do this!” Xiong Chengen said thoughtfully.

"How much wealth could a woman like her have to support such spending?" Bai Yuan really couldn't understand.

"That's just like our hall master back in the day!" Ouyang Zhengde suddenly said. Why did he think of this? Because when the hall master of the Pharmacist Association, Yan Yaozu, was still in the Qian Yuan Continent, he basically acted the same way: after treating the patient and prescribing the medicine, he was not interested in money at all. He would accept whatever the patient could afford, taking only a penny or an ounce if given.

"Could it be that Ru Xue has some connection with the Hall Master?" Xiong Chengen blurted out whatever came to mind. And he actually guessed right.

"How could that be?! The Hall Master has been immortalized for over a hundred years. When has he ever taken on any disciples? Even we, who wanted to become his disciples, were refused." Bai Yuan immediately refuted Xiong Chengen's idea.

"Enough said. I'll go and investigate this Ru Xue myself another day to find out what her origins are!" At this moment, Ouyang Zhengde couldn't sit still any longer.

Liu Ruxuan was enjoying a rare moment of leisure, eating the snacks that Xiyue had brought, unaware that someone had already set their sights on her.

One morning, as usual, Liu Ruxuan and Xiyue were walking towards the Liu residence when they ran into Liu Yiting on the way.
