Chapter 367 Insider
Just as she was feeling fortunate, she suddenly received an invitation from Jubaolou.
Wu Weiwei frowned.
Before leaving, Qingzhu gave him 800,000 taels of silver. Could it be that Ye Qingyun was after this 800,000 taels of silver?
"Miss, didn't we all refuse Ye Qingyun's request last time? Why is she inviting you over again?"
Lingfu was puzzled.
She was unaware that Qingzhu was the young master behind Jubao Tower. Of course, Wu Weiwei also didn't tell her maid about the 800,000 taels.
Therefore, Lingfu was somewhat puzzled.
"They probably want to discuss other collaborations with me!"
……
"What did Wu Weiwei say when you sent the invitation? Did she accept?"
Ye Qingyun looked at the shop assistants.
“Mr. Ye, Mr. Wu has not given a reply, only saying that he needs to see the specific time arrangement.”
"This is outrageous! Our auction house has invited all the most prominent people in the Great Wei Dynasty. Giving her an invitation is already quite generous, yet she still says she needs to consider it..."
Ye Qingyun couldn't help but feel annoyed.
However, she had no other choice but to be angry.
No, she can find a way.
Ye Qingyun seemed to have thought of something, and she quickly left the place.
Yulu Research and Development Pharmacy.
"Sister Su Xing, leave the task of preparing the medicinal herbs to me!"
Seeing Su Xing busy running around, Mu Lanxue stepped forward and said.
"Are you sure you can do it?"
Because the employer needed to rush to make medicine for injuries, everyone was very busy during this period.
The research and development pharmacy is severely understaffed, and even someone as physically fit as Su Xing is struggling to keep up.
"Sure, I'll finish it for you before I leave."
Su Xing glanced at her, "Alright then! I'll leave this to you!"
After Su Xing left, Mu Lanxue's eyes flickered, and she naturally took over the work from Su Xing's hands.
The following day, Jubaolou received some exciting news.
Upon hearing the news, Little Stone rushed over to report to Wu Weiwei.
"Oh no, boss! I heard that Jubao Tower will be auctioning our newly developed Ansheng Baoji Pill at tomorrow's auction..."
"What did you say?"
Wu Weiwei was shocked.
"Master, it's absolutely true!"
Little Stone said eagerly.
"The newly developed Baoji Pills haven't even been officially launched yet, so where did Jubaolou get them from?"
Sister Chen only made three new versions of An Sheng Bao Ji Pills that day, and she used one of them to save the emperor.
As for the other two...
"Boss, are you sure those two are still there?"
It wasn't that Xiao Shitou was suspicious, but rather that he was worried that the two stones Wu Weiwei had kept might have been stolen.
Hearing what Xiao Shitou said, Wu Weiwei hurriedly went into the inner room.
When Wu Weiwei opened the cabinet and saw two round pills lying quietly in the box, she felt relieved.
Since they didn't lose their own pills, where did they get the An Sheng Bao Ji pills from?
Wu Weiwei looked at Xiao Shitou: "Go and gather everyone here, I need to hold a meeting..."
"Okay, boss."
Little Stone knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly left.
After everyone had arrived, Wu Weiwei looked at them with a solemn expression.
"I heard that Jubaolou will be auctioning our latest version of Ansheng Baoji Pills at tomorrow's auction. I'm sure you all know this news."
I just want to know, if our secret formula hasn't been leaked, where did Jubao Tower get the pills from for auction?
Hearing Wu Weiwei's words, the managers began to murmur amongst themselves.
"Boss, could the pills that Jubaolou has in their possession be old pills that we produced before, which have toxic side effects?"
Manager Cheng was the first to speak.
"Didn't they say that all the old pills were destroyed?"
Lin Fan looked at Wu Weiwei.
Wu Weiwei lowered her head and furrowed her brows, then turned her gaze to Chen Caiyun.
But Sister Chen hurriedly explained, "Boss, I did destroy all the old pills. Su Xing helped me with that!"
If you don't believe me, you can call Su Xing to come and prove it..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the old batch of pills had been destroyed.
"No need, I believe you!"
Wu Weiwei trusted Sister Chen and Su Xing.
After all, they had followed him all the way, and a deep bond had been formed between master and servant.
After the managers left, Wanqiu looked at Wu Weiwei with a hesitant expression.
"Wanqiu, is there anything you want to say?"
"Miss, since there's nothing wrong on our end, the problem must lie with Jubaolou!"
Yes, since they've already ruled that out, it must be Ye Qingyun's problem.
But why did she go to all this trouble to make this thing?
"Young lady, will you be attending the auction tomorrow?"
Wu Weiwei was hesitant about the invitation Ye Qingyun sent her.
But now that Jubaolou has pulled this stunt, Wu Weiwei has no choice but to go in order to prove that this is not Yulu's Ansheng Baoji Pill.
Seeing Wu Weiwei's expression, Lingfu naturally understood her answer.
But just after dinner, Bai Luzhu came to her courtyard.
Seeing the basket in her hand, Wu Weiwei smiled and asked, "Cousin, what delicious food have you made?"
"Cousin, I made some snacks, why don't you try them and see if they're good..."
Wanqiu and the others helped bring out the dishes, which were indeed all Wu Weiwei's favorites: braised chicken feet, pickled radishes, crystal dumplings...
Looking at it, Wu Weiwei's appetite was whetted.
Seeing her pick up her chopsticks, Bai Luzhu said with heartache, "I saw you've been so busy lately that you haven't had a proper meal, so I made this especially for you. Look at you, you've gotten so thin that your chin has become pointy..."
"Hehe, my cousin really cares about me!"
As Wu Weiwei ate, Bai Luzhu casually asked, "Cousin, what are your plans regarding Mulan Xue?"
"Magnolia Snow?"
Wu Weiwei was surprised.
Why did my cousin suddenly start talking about her?
"Hmm, I think she has a real talent for medicine, and she's learned quite a bit in the past few days. Shouldn't we let her go back?"
White Dewdrop tentatively asked.
Wu Weiwei was puzzled by her cousin's words.
"Cousin, what are you trying to say?"
Seeing that Wu Weiwei had realized what was happening, Bai Luzhu decided not to hide it anymore.
"I heard about Jubaolou's plan to auction off your Ansheng Baoji Pills. Coincidentally, I saw her go to Jubaolou when I was out shopping a couple of days ago..."
Hearing Bai Luzhu's words, Wu Weiwei looked at her in surprise.
"You mean, Mulan Xue was behind this?"
"Cousin, this is just a suspicion. After all, I haven't seen anything else. I'm just afraid I might be wrongly accusing her..."
Wu Weiwei looked up.
"Cousin, thank you for telling me today. I will investigate what you said!"
"Okay, cousin, you can eat slowly. I'll head back now!"
After informing Wu Weiwei about this, Bai Luzhu left.
Seeing the young lady's departing figure, Wanqiu stepped forward.
"Young lady, do you think this was really done by Miss Mu?"
