Chapter 519 Gold is much stronger than love.
Wen Qingqing has been incredibly busy lately.
She may not be able to help with other things, but no one can compare to her when it comes to healing and saving lives.
Especially those miners who were rescued, even those who did not yet show severe symptoms of poisoning, were actually already poisoned. If they were not treated in time, they would not have many days left to live once the poisoning took effect.
Wen Qingqing is most skilled in this area. In the past few days, she has not only been preparing prescriptions for these people, but also researching how to achieve better results.
That's just how she is; once she gets into something, she becomes completely absorbed in it.
After returning to Yuzhou City, she still locked herself in the medicine room, busy studying antidote prescriptions.
When Jiang Zhiyi and Lu Yangyang came looking for her, she had just washed her hands and was about to have dinner.
Seeing the two rushing over, she looked bewildered: "Hey? Yiyi, when did you get here? Yangyang, wait a minute, don't leave yet. Help me take a look at my newly revised prescription. I think it will be much more effective than before."
Jiang Zhiyi and Lu Yangyang sat on either side of her, attentively serving her food and water, their eyes sparkling as they gazed at her.
Wen Qingqing was so hungry she could have eaten a whole cow, but after being inexplicably fawned over by these two, she subconsciously touched her face and asked uncertainly, "Do I have dark circles under my eyes?"
The two shook their heads.
Wen Qingqing: "Are those fine lines under my eyes?"
The two shook their heads again.
Wen Qingqing immediately covered her face, leaving only her eyes visible: "Is there dust on my face?"
The two quickly shook their heads.
Wen Qingqing: "...Then what's the problem?"
Jiang Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see you."
Lu Yangyang nodded in agreement: "Mmm-hmm!"
Wen Qingqing blinked: "Looking at me? It hasn't been that long, and you miss me this much?"
She blushed slightly: "This is so embarrassing. Do you think I look even prettier?"
Lu Yangyang replied very honestly, "I just wanted to imagine the elegance of the Chinese lady through you. I was too excited that day and forgot about this. You are the Chinese lady's daughter, you must look very alike, right?"
Jiang Zhiyi looked at him even more intently, her eyes even turning into admiration.
Wen Qingqing's eyes widened instantly, and she rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. "You two! I thought you cared about me a lot, but it turns out you wanted to use me to see my mother!! You're just too much!"
The two men immediately grabbed her arms on either side, their eyes sincere: "We still miss you, but first tell us about your mother. Is your mother really the Lady of Huaguo, Wenren Jing?"
Jiang Zhiyi looked at Wen Qingqing with a mix of nervousness and anticipation. She never dreamed that the daughter of the person she admired and idolized would become her best friend. Good heavens, was her luck on another level?
Ever since Lu Yangyang heard the story of Lady Hua, she had been deeply curious about her. She wondered what kind of extraordinary talent she must have possessed to have so many ingenious ideas, and why she had devoted her life to improving the status of women in the Great Zhao Dynasty. His Highness had told her that although many of the measures he had taken over the years were implemented by him based on the actual situation in the Great Zhao Dynasty, many of his ideas came from the guidance of Lady Hua.
When Lu Yangyang learned under those circumstances a few days ago that Wen Qingqing was actually the daughter of the Lady of Huaguo, she was not only surprised, but also regretful that she had not been able to meet the Lady of Huaguo. Afterwards, because she was still upset about His Highness's decision to break off the engagement, she forgot that she could learn more from Wen Qingqing!
The two men's gazes were burning with devotion, making Wen Qingqing's hair stand on end.
She hurriedly pulled the two people off her and picked up her bowl. "My mother's name is Wenren Jing, but it is said that her name is too famous and she is easily implicated, so we all say that her surname is Wen. That's how our family behaves when we're out in the world."
Lu Yangyang: "So you just blurted out your family's biggest secret like that?"
While eating, Wen Qingqing innocently replied, "Didn't you ask? I wouldn't tell anyone else, and even if I did, no one would believe me! Would you believe it if your husband hadn't told you?"
Lu Yangyang shook her head.
Indeed, even if I went out and told them, no one would believe me.
After all, Lady Wenren Jing of Huaguo was a legendary figure more than 20 years ago. Now someone suddenly appears claiming to be her daughter. Who would believe that?
It's... pretty unbelievable.
Lu Yangyang and Jiang Zhiyi both shut up and just tilted their heads to watch Wen Qingqing eat her rice quietly.
As Wen Qingqing ate, she suddenly put down her chopsticks in slow motion and hesitated before speaking, "You guys... just say what you want to say. I can't eat if you're just staring at me like this."
The two said in unison, "You eat first, you eat first..."
Wen Qingqing: "..."
She quickly finished eating the rice in her bowl, put down her chopsticks, and Lu Yangyang immediately handed her a bowl of sweet soup.
Wen Qingqing blinked. Was she being treated so well today?
Once Wen Qingqing had finally eaten and drunk her fill, she sighed contentedly, "Speak, what do you want to know?"
“Anything is fine. Tell me first, what kind of person is Madam in your eyes?” Jiang Zhiyi asked.
“In my eyes…” Wen Qingqing couldn’t help but bite her finger when she heard the question: “He’s a pretty unreliable person.”
As soon as Wen Qingqing finished speaking, she received two deep, death stares.
Wen Qingqing rubbed her arms and muttered, "I'm serious, she practically raised me. She's always busy running her money exchange and opening shipping routes, so she's rarely home, sometimes for two or three years straight. I'm used to it. I grew up with my grandfather's apprentices anyway. My mother is incredibly generous to me, saying I can spend her money however I want. She even said she'd take me to the New World to find some blond, blue-eyed handsome man... Oh, and once, she brought me back a little dad, who wasn't much older than me. And then another little dad, sigh, his face was so much whiter than mine. But they weren't my type. I prefer... more reserved handsome men. That pale-faced guy spit all over my face, and my grandfather was so angry he chased my mother halfway down the island with a fire poker."
Lu Yangyang and Jiang Zhiyi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. They never expected that they would come here with the great deeds of their idol, only to be bombarded with a basketful of juicy gossip.
Lu Yangyang swallowed hard and asked uncertainly, "Isn't it just a rumor... that she and Crown Prince Chongwen made a vow of eternal love, a love stronger than gold?"
Wen Qingqing hissed, her teeth aching, and looked at her with a look of utter disbelief. "My mother's gold is much stronger than her love. She said that love is about having loved. If you remain chaste for a man, he'll only be moved for a moment. If she loved Prince Chongwen and had to stay faithful to him for life, then Prince Chongwen is... well, is he studded with diamonds? Cough cough, that's not what I said."
