The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, the shopkeeper who was drinking tea suddenly choked up. After he recovered from his cough, he glared at Shen Ruolan and said unhappily, "Madam, are you sure you are not kidding me?"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the most valuable hairpin among hers and said to her, "These things of yours are the lowest quality jewelry, the kind that even maids in wealthy families don't wear. This one of yours is exquisitely made and looks good, so I'm paying you 200 coins. Otherwise, I won't even take 100 coins for what you have here."

Shen Ruolan listened to the shopkeeper's words and asked with an "ah": "Is such a beautiful thing really so worthless?"

She had just come into contact with ancient people's hair accessories and couldn't tell the good from the bad. She just thought they were beautiful and should be able to sell for some silver. She didn't think so much that she couldn't even sell for one or two taels of silver.

Seeing that she didn't believe him, the shopkeeper looked at her and shook his head, then pointed at the maid's headdress behind her and said to her: "If you don't believe me, take off the hairpin on your maid's head and compare it. Her hairpin is worth a lot more than yours."

After Wan Dong heard what the shopkeeper said, she quickly pulled out a hairpin from her head and said, "Shopkeeper, how much do you think this is worth?"

The shopkeeper took a look at Wan Dong's hairpin and said to her, "You can exchange it for two taels of silver."

When Wan Dong heard that it could be worth two taels of silver, she looked at Shen Ruolan with a happy face and said, "Madam, this is worth two taels of silver. Hurry up and put yours away and use it as mine."

When Shen Ruolan heard that Wan Dong's things were more valuable than hers, she felt sad and unfair for her original self. She and her son worked like slaves in the mansion, but ended up like this, just as miserable as if she was blind and met a scumbag.

Seeing the little maid giving her something as hers, Shen Ruolan felt warm in her heart. She shook her head and said, "It's yours, keep it well."

After she finished speaking, she said to the shopkeeper, "Two hundred coins is two hundred coins. Please, shopkeeper, let me be your boss for a while."

"Okay, do you want a dead pawn or a living pawn?" the shopkeeper asked Shen Ruolan.

Shen Ruolan said without thinking: "Death."

After the master and servant came out of the pawnshop, Wan Dong asked, "My lord, where are we going now?"

Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the clinic."

When Wan Dong heard that they were going to the clinic, she looked Shen Ruolan up and down nervously and asked, "My lady, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Ruolan, the nervous little girl, couldn't help but laugh. She took her hand and said, "Let's go. Your young master is fine. She's just going there to buy some things."

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay." Wan Dong patted his chest and responded to Shen Ruolan.

You know, before leaving today, the prince told her to take good care of the young lady. If something happens to the young lady, how will she report to the prince?

Soon, the master and servant arrived at a clinic. As soon as Shen Ruolan entered, the medicine boy came up to her and asked enthusiastically, "Madam, are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"

Shen Ruolan took a look at the clinic, handed him the list she had prepared, and said, "Brother, please help me get two prescriptions."

The medicine boy took a look at Shen Ruolan's list and saw that they were all prescriptions for making incense. He didn't ask any more questions and smiled at Shen Ruolan and said, "Madam, please wait a moment. I will be there soon."

Shen Ruolan nodded to the medicine boy and stood aside waiting silently.

That's right, the medicine Shen Ruolan got was apparently a prescription for making incense, but after adding or subtracting a few ingredients, it could be made into a medicine that could make a person instantly unconscious. One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others. There are too many unknown dangers on the road to escape, so she tried her best to prepare more protections for herself.

"Madam, the medicine you asked for is ready. It costs five hundred coins in total." The medicine boy handed the medicine to Shen Ruolan.

Shen Ruolan felt so painful when she saw that she had to pay 500 coins for such a small amount of medicine. She gritted her teeth and paid the money, and asked the medicine boy, "Young man, do you have silver needles for sale in your clinic?"

This is her main purpose today. Silver needles are her livelihood and the basis of her life. If possible, she wants to buy a pair and take it back.

When the medicine boy heard Shen Ruolan wanted to buy silver needles, he looked at her and said, "Yes, Madam, do you want any?"

Shen Ruolan thought about her limited financial resources, so she didn't rush to ask for it. She first asked the medicine boy, "How much silver does one set cost?"

After listening to Shen Ruolan's words, the medicine boy introduced them to her: "The best ones are between fifty and one hundred taels, the middle ones are between twenty and thirty taels, and the worst ones are fifteen taels."

Shen Ruolan was instantly discouraged when she heard that it would cost at least fifteen taels of silver. Her entire net worth was less than five taels of silver, so she couldn't afford the silver needle at all. She smiled awkwardly at the medicine boy and said, "Thank you, little brother. I won't buy it for now."

After saying this, she left with a look of loss on her face.

It seems that she has to find a way to earn some money, otherwise without money, it will be really difficult for her to move forward.

Wan Dong felt sorry for the disappointed young lady, so she whispered to her, "Young lady, if you really like silver needles, you can ask Jing Shiwei for them. He is the prince's personal physician, and he must have a lot of them."

"Jing guard?" Shen Ruolan didn't have any impression of this man, but she often saw Yan Mo and Shi Nie who were beside Jiang Dichen.

Wan Dong nodded and said, "Yes, it was he who helped cure your illness, young master."

"Let's talk about this later." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she continued to walk forward with Wandong.

But before she had taken a few steps, she saw a number of people hurriedly carrying sedan chairs to the entrance of the clinic. One of the men shouted anxiously, "Doctor, please save my wife. She can't give birth."

Shen Ruolan, who had walked a long way, subconsciously stopped when she heard that someone couldn't give birth. It wasn't because she was kind or anything, it was purely an instinctive reaction as a doctor, especially for women who were giving birth, she always showed some preference.

Because in her heart, a woman who is willing to risk her life to have a child is the greatest and most amazing woman.

Seeing that her young mistress was looking at the sedan chair and not moving, Wan Dong whispered, "Young mistress, let's go quickly."

Although Wan Dong didn't know whose sedan chair it was, she knew in her heart that in the capital, those who could afford such a sedan chair were either rich or noble, and she didn't want to meet them.

Shen Ruolan hesitated for a moment, and was about to nod to Wan Dong and leave when she heard the doctor at the clinic say to the man, "General Qin, you should take your wife back to prepare for her funeral. She is no longer able to survive."

After Qin Zhen heard what the doctor said, he kept begging the doctor, "Doctor, please, at least help me save my master."

Unexpectedly, the doctor at the clinic still shook his head and said, "I really can't do anything."

Qin Zhen's words "It's better to save the master" made Shen Ruolan, who was standing by, feel a little better about him. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked up to him and said, "Sir, can you let me see the woman inside?"
