The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 759: Chapter 736: Ten Percent (Part 3)

Xia Wenjin smiled. ”If the other three senior brothers didn’t know Master’s back pain, that might be possible. Master has always been strong, but Mu Ziyu, you surely knew.” She sighed softly, ”Sister Mu, do you think, although my ointment is useful to you, I have ulterior motives, intending to use this opportunity to harm your Master?”

Mu Ziyu smiled and said, ”Do you think I should think that way?”

Xia Wenjin looked at her seriously and said, ”You should think that way. After all, to you, my background is unknown, and my identity is unclear. If I told you that a senior of mine was an old acquaintance of your Master and knew his condition, and that he sent me to heal him, would you believe it?”

Mu Ziyu laughed. This young girl speaks interestingly. How could there be so many ’ifs’ in this world?

She scrutinized Xia Wenjin with sharp eyes, ”If you claim it’s an old acquaintance, then surely names can be exchanged. May I know who this senior might be?”

Xia Wenjin thought for a moment and said, ”Luan!”

Mu Ziyu’s gaze grew cold, yet she smiled and said, ”Why did it take you so long to think of the name if you are indeed entrusted by such a senior?”

Facing Mu Ziyu’s icy gaze despite her smile, Xia Wenjin chuckled, ”I was just considering whether to say it!”

Mu Ziyu looked at her, ”If you want something else, I’ll do my best to accommodate, but this matter, I cannot!”

Xia Wenjin said, ”Perhaps you should ask your Master before deciding!”

”No need to ask!” Mu Ziyu sneered coldly, ”If I found out it’s connected to someone named Luan, I would rather bear the scars permanently than accept your medicine!”

Xia Wenjin smiled wryly but said, ”Sister Mu, you’ve seen the agony your Master endures from his back pain, so are you saying, you would rather uphold pride, even if it means your Master will suffer eternally?”

”You...” Mu Ziyu’s eyebrows arched sharply. She uttered one word but couldn’t continue. Indeed, she had witnessed how excruciating the pain was for her Master—unable to sit or stand, suffering immensely!

But Master had always been strong-willed. If she acted on her own accord, she might relieve Master’s ailment but not his mental burden, making matters worse!

Yet the opportunity was right before her; if even her scars could be removed, the young girl’s medical skills should be quite good, right?

There was a momentary hesitation in Mu Ziyu’s eyes that Xia Wenjin noticed, and she said, ”Actually, I’m not exactly entrusted by Senior Luan. It’s just that I once heard Senior Luan mention your Master’s symptoms, and I have an interest in difficult and unusual illnesses, so I studied them and came here recommended by myself. So, Sister Mu, there’s no need to feel troubled!”

Mu Ziyu was silent for a moment, then said, ”Let me think about it!”

Xia Wenjin replied, ”Alright!”

Mu Ziyu suddenly asked, ”You say you aim to study difficult illnesses, but if you cure the patient, do you want nothing in return?”

Xia Wenjin thought for a moment and said, ”There is!”

”What is it?”

Xia Wenjin said, ”Ten percent of the profits from Juewei Gourmet Chef!”

Bear in mind, Juewei Gourmet Chef is one of the top ten restaurants in the Capital City; ten percent of the profits would be considerable, equivalent to asking for the moon.

However, Mu Ziyu was relieved to hear this.

If all they wanted was Silver, what’s the problem? Anything solvable with Silver isn’t really a problem! If their Master’s illness could be cured, her fellow apprentices would be willing to spend whatever amount! What’s ten percent? They would offer the entire Juewei Gourmet Chef willingly!

Mu Ziyu said, ”Deal!”

She said, ”Thank you, Lady Xia. I’ll get off here!”

Lady Xia, it seems Mu Ziyu wasn’t just seeking her out today; she had found out quite a bit about her. If it weren’t for having investigated her, even if she wanted the entire Juewei Gourmet Chef, Mu Ziyu wouldn’t risk her Master!

Nonetheless, Xia Wenjin wasn’t surprised. If anyone in the Capital City knew all her details, aside from the Shadow Pavilion, it would likely be the four senior apprentices of Juewei Gourmet Chef!

The carriage stopped, and Mu Ziyu disembarked, without specifying when to take her to treat her Master, nor asking where to find Xia Wenjin. Xia Wenjin didn’t need to ask; she knew Mu Ziyu would come looking for her after making arrangements.

Xia Wenjin sighed inwardly; in her past life, she had expended much effort and researched formulas for over three months before achieving results to treat her Master’s illness. In this life, she had a ready formula, yet it was equally difficult to even meet her Master!

She didn’t need that ten percent profit from Juewei Gourmet Chef, but she knew saying so would make people believe she was motivated by profit, besides, making it a clear and straightforward transaction truly turned it into nothing more than business, a mere bargain!

Master, we’re about to meet soon, how exciting it is!
