“It’s fine. Once this is handled, we’ll just reopen. It’s not a big deal—your well-being is the most important thing.” Wei Ruo reassured her.
“But—”
“Stop overthinking. Just focus on recovering. I’ll take care of everything else.”
As she spoke, Wei Ruo reached for Chen Aqing’s wrist and checked her injuries.
At the bedside, there was an empty medicine bowl. Wei Ruo picked it up and sniffed it.
It seemed that the cook genuinely cared for her niece—she had called for a doctor and gotten medicine. Though the prescription was average, it was still the best she could manage.
Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to bring paper and brush, then wrote a new prescription. She sent Xiumei to fetch the medicine and also left some medicinal ointment for Chen Aqing.
“Stop taking the previous prescription from the doctor. When Xiumei returns, take the medicine she brings, and apply this ointment to the bruises twice a day, morning and evening,” Wei Ruo instructed.
Chen Aqing was stunned.
Apart from her aunt, this was the first time someone had cared for her so much.
“Miss, you’re too kind to me.” Chen Aqing choked up.
“You got hurt because of my shop—taking care of you is the least I can do.”
Chen Aqing’s eyes suddenly turned red. She hadn’t cried when she was beaten, but now, being cared for by Wei Ruo, she felt an urge to cry.
“Miss, you’re such a kind person…”
“Alright, stop thinking about that. Just rest well. I’m going to take care of this matter.”
After giving Chen Aqing a few more instructions, Wei Ruo left. She needed to figure out exactly what had happened and who was behind all of this.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei returned to Xu’s Braised Food Shop, where the nanny was already waiting inside.
“Miss, I’m sorry. I couldn’t get back in time,” the nanny said apologetically.
“There’s no need to blame yourself. You and Uncle Xu have many things to take care of, and you can’t always be at the shop. I wasn’t able to arrive immediately either, was I?”
Not giving the nanny a chance to take the blame upon herself, Wei Ruo asked, “Do we have any clues about who caused the trouble?”
“The people who came claimed to be from Drunken Immortal Restaurant,” the nanny replied.
She didn’t understand why they would have offended Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Even though both businesses sold food, in theory, there shouldn’t be any conflict between them.
Xiumei turned to Wei Ruo and asked, “Miss, should we go to Drunken Immortal Restaurant to confront them?”
She was already rolling up her sleeves, ready for a fight.
“We can’t be reckless. Even if it really was people from Drunken Immortal Restaurant, we’d be at a disadvantage if we charged in alone.”
As she responded, Wei Ruo was already thinking of a strategy.
“Here’s what we’ll do, Meimei. We’ll go back, disguise ourselves, and prepare some braised food. Tomorrow, we’ll set up a stall right in front of the shop and sell it.”
She planned to lure the enemy out. Since they were trying to stop her from doing business, she would insist on doing it.
“Great idea!” Xiumei raised both hands in support.
The nanny then suggested, “Miss, should I call Xiaoyong back? He just returned to Xingshan County two days ago and hasn’t reported to the military camp yet.”
“No need to alarm Brother Xiaoyong. His injuries have only just healed, and he’s due to return to the military camp in a few days. Let’s not make him travel back and forth.” Wei Ruo said.
“But I’m worried that if too many people come, Meimei won’t be able to handle them alone…” The nanny was concerned.
“I’ll borrow two people from Madam Yuan. This area is bustling with activity—if someone causes trouble, the prefectural authorities will have to step in.”
