Forced her into demonic possession: There will be no more gods in the world!

Chapter 17 Yi Yuan Tang Medicine Dispensing

The next day, Wei's mother called Yun Juan to her courtyard and gave her some account books.

Yun Juan could tell at a glance that it was taken from the old lady's room: "They just gave up like that?"

Yun Quan was somewhat incredulous. After all, this was a huge piece of meat, and there was no reason to spit out meat that was already in their mouths, unless there was something fishy going on. They were convinced that the Wei family wouldn't be able to find out.

"Mother plans to hand the shop over to you and entrust you with the accounting. This way, even after you marry into the Regent's Palace, you will be able to manage it independently. It won't do for the mistress of the household to not know how to check the accounts." Madam Wei handed all the account books to Yun Juan.

Looking at the pile of account books in front of her, Yun Juan thought to herself that she probably wouldn't be able to leave the manor for a while. "Do people in ancient times have to go through all this trouble?" she thought. "Think about modern life. Even with mutated beasts, at least we don't have to look at so many account books."

"Why doesn't Mother give it to my younger sister?" Yun Juan suddenly remembered that she had a younger sister. It was really not good to give it to her. She really resisted it. She would do anything, but looking at the account book was a bit difficult.

"You'll know when you meet your little sister," Wei Wan said, her face beaming with joy as she mentioned her youngest daughter.

Seeing that she couldn't back down, Yun Juan had no choice but to agree.

Upon returning to the courtyard and seeing Qingmiao, he glanced at the account book in his hand and said, "Qingmiao, come in with me."

"What's wrong, Miss? The account books?" Qingmiao was puzzled, not knowing that the madam had already given the account books to her young mistress.

"Hmm, I remember you said you were good at accounting?" Yun Juan recalled that when Qing Miao first came and she asked them about their special skills, she seemed to have said that she was good at accounting.

“Yes, Miss.” Qingmiao took the account book from Yun Juan’s hand, realizing that her young mistress must have asked her to look at these account books, which must have been prepared for her.

“My mother just asked me to look at the shop’s account books over the years. You need to calculate these for me. Make sure you get to the bottom of the profits and losses. There’s definitely been some kind of tampering with them.” Yun Juan patted the account books that Qing Miao had taken.

"Qinghe, come on, let's go to the shops with your young lady and take a look." Yun Juan still felt that she should go to the shops herself to see the specific situation. These shops were probably already someone else's confidants.

Although Yun Juan had already thought of these things, she was still shocked when she saw them with her own eyes.

Yun Quan checked each residence in the Prime Minister's mansion one by one, from the closest to the furthest. Since Yun Quan had just returned from the estate, many people had not seen her before, and the shopkeepers had not received any news of the master's inspection, so they were quite lazy.

Yun Quan's first stop was Yi Yuan Tang, the only shop among all that could provide medical treatment and dispense medicine.

"Miss, why did you go to Yiyuantang first?" Qinghe asked, puzzled. Yiyuantang was clearly the least profitable of all the shops, and it had always been losing money.

“You don’t understand. Although it’s not the most profitable shop, and it’s even been losing money all along, it’s a place where poor people can save their lives!” Yun Juan knew that under the oppression of imperial power, many poor people couldn’t afford to buy medicine or see a doctor when they had a minor illness.

"If even life-saving and healing medicines have problems, what are those people supposed to do? All business is about conscience!" Yun Juan thought that if Liu Chengcheng were here, she would definitely think the same way.

She once said that what she most wanted to see was a prosperous and peaceful world where everyone could afford medical treatment and medicine.

So she chose to become a doctor to save lives.

Upon hearing these words, Qinghe couldn't stop her tears from falling.

"What's wrong, Qinghe? Why are you crying? I didn't do anything, did I?" Yun Juan looked at Qinghe crying and handed her a handkerchief.

"No, Miss. I remembered my mother! Back then, my sister and I sold ourselves to save our mother, but because we bought inferior medicine, we couldn't save her life!" Qinghe recalled the time when she and her sister were desperate.

"Alright! Although we can't change the world, we can change the people, things, and events around us!" Yun Juan patted Qing He's head, as if she had gained more emotions since transmigrating.

Even when Qinghe talked about these things, I felt sad along with her. So this is what sadness feels like. It's really strange.

Yun Quan dressed rather plainly when she went out with Qing He this time, because most of the customers at Yi Yuan Tang were poor people who bought medicinal herbs there.

As soon as Yun Juan reached the entrance of Yi Yuan Tang, she noticed the problem.

Across from Yiyuantang is another shop selling medicinal herbs, and it's always bustling with customers.

Yiyuantang, however, was deserted and empty.

Yun Juan led Qing He inside, and coughed twice from the musty smell in the room.

Once inside, they didn't see a single person. Yun Juan gave Qing He a wink.

"Is anyone here? Is the shopkeeper here?" Qinghe shouted loudly.

"Coming, coming. What would you like, miss?"

The shopkeeper quickly ran out from behind and saw that they were two young girls. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they didn't seem to be from wealthy families, so he was relieved.

As he sized up Yun Quan, Yun Quan was also sizing him up. He had a fat head and big ears, a pair of lecherous eyes the size of mung beans, and greasy lips.

It looks like they were eating in the back, and when they heard someone, they quickly ran out before they finished eating.

"Here's the thing, boss, my mother is sick and needs some medicine! Two qian of peony bark, three qian of red peony root, one qian of Japanese knotweed, four qian each of amber, Scutellaria barbata, and dwarf groundcherry!" Yun Juan announced the names of the medicines.

"Miss, you understand pharmacology? Are you a doctor?" The shopkeeper looked the two of them up and down, trying to find out something, and Yun Juan had already noticed the wariness in his eyes.

“I don’t understand pharmacology, and I’m not a doctor. My sister and I just get some medicine for Mom! This prescription was given to us by the only doctor in the village after we sold our cow. Mom has been taking this prescription all these years!”

As she spoke, Yun Juan wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, wiping away tears that weren't actually there.

Because he rubbed so hard, the corners of his eyes turned red, making him look like he was really crying sadly.

"Look, miss, don't be sad. I'll get you the medicine right away! It's my fault for being nosy!" The shopkeeper was finally relieved.

He really does look like a pharmacist. He received a message a couple of days ago saying that someone was coming to audit the accounts, so he was very vigilant.

My heart has been pounding wildly these past few days, and I have a constant feeling of foreboding.

He can't rest easy until the auditor comes; he's really getting old and sees everyone as an auditor.

They're just two little girls with blond hair, and they don't look like they're old at all. They're so young, they haven't even lived as long as they've lived!

Looks like I was overthinking it. Sigh, I need to hurry up and get the medicine and send the person away, or my food will get cold.

I just took one bite, and it was such a disappointment!
