Chapter 18: The Seven-Year-Old Spy
"Dad, what's the matter with looking for a daughter?" After a while, the servant found Wan Xiuping.
"Ping'er, how is the business of the pharmacy? You couple are doing well, right?" Mr. Wan asked.
"The business of the pharmacy shop has always been very good. In addition, my husband is diligent in charge, so he basically doesn't need his daughter to interfere in daily life. He can do everything to satisfy his superiors and subordinates." Wan Xiuping said happily.
"You can run the pharmacy well, Dad is very pleased. But Dad hopes that you can do more things in the pharmacy and not let your husband do everything. If your son-in-law is not here or busy, you will not affect the continued operation of the pharmacy." Mr. Wan wanted his daughter to interfere in the pharmacy business more to prevent his son-in-law from secretly taking the pharmacy as his own or embezzling the income of the pharmacy. However, Mr. Wan did not have real evidence and could not directly inform Bai Yang of his crimes. Fighting the snake will make it more difficult to control and understand the son-in-law in the future.
"My daughter still needs to take good care of Shuai'er on weekdays and has no time to take care of the pharmacy business for the time being. In a few years, my Shuai'er will grow up a little. My daughter will work with her husband to run Wanjia Wanfu Pharmacy. Please understand her father." Wan Xiuping responded.
"Okay, if there is anything in the drug shop in the future, you can come to discuss with your father. Although Dad gave all the Wanfu business to you, Dad was still a little worried. In addition, we have had so many things in our Wanfu these days, which makes Dad even more worried." Mr. Wan knew that his youngest daughter spent more time taking care of his son Wanshuai, and he really couldn't concentrate on interfering in the drug shop business. He just hoped that his daughter could understand what she really meant. Bai Yang was a foreigner after all, and he could not completely hand over the drug shop to this son-in-law who was different from each other.
Wan Xiuping left Mr. Wan in a confused manner. Since Mr. Wan handed over all the Wan family's business to a few children, it was the first time that he had formally talked to her about business.
Finally, I waited for the evening to rest.
Mr. Wan was still waiting for his wife to go to bed to rest, and took off his clothes one by one, but Mr. Wan did not show up. At this moment, there were eyes surveillance under the table in the room.
After Mr. Wan also went to bed and fell asleep, the door was gently opened, and a thin figure walked out of the room quickly.
Then, the door of the eldest young lady He Ganqing was gently opened. He Ganqing had not yet rested at this time. It seemed that she had been waiting for someone. The eldest young master Wan Xiulu had not returned to Wan Mansion because he was having fun in the brothel.
He Ganqing was not surprised when she saw someone coming in the room, but couldn't wait to ask:
"Sister Yuan, my good daughter, what have you seen? Tell me carefully to my mother."
In order to monitor the place where Mr. Wan was hiding treasures, He Ganqing actually thought of putting his daughter in the master's room to secretly monitor him. In this way, even if Mr. Wan appears, he can completely tell that he is a child who is playful and will not arouse Mr. Wan's suspicion.
Although Wan Mei is only seven years old, she is much more sensible under her mother's training, because it is not the first time she has helped her mother peep at the news. Seeing her mother's anxious look, Wan Mei said happily:
"Mom, my daughter saw it. The master was wearing a very strange dress, not made of fabric, but strung with bamboo, just like the scrolls in the master's study."
He heard such sensitive news, He Ganqing immediately judged that Mr. Wan had really kept the bamboo medical books hidden on his body, and there was no reason to wear a bamboo dress.
"My sister Yuan will always be her mother's good daughter. You have done a good job. Will my mother buy you a new set of clothes tomorrow?" He Ganqing praised excitedly.
"Thank you, mother." Sister Wan was also very happy.
"Sister Yuan, you were not seen by the master's wife just now in the master's room, right?" He Ganqing asked.
"No, I waited until they all fell asleep before sneaking out." Sister Wan said affirmatively.
"It's great, it's great. Tonight, Sister Yuan must not tell others. You go and rest first, and wait for your father for your mother." He Ganqing went to bed first when taking care of her daughter, but she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep.
After being excited alone for a while, He Ganqing called the maid Qing'er.
"Grandma Big Young Master, it's so late, what instructions do you have to find me?" Qing'er asked in He Ganqing's room.
"Qing'er, let me tell you the great news. Just now, Sister Yuan saw the Canzhu Medical Book hidden on the master with her own eyes, and we finally found the whereabouts of the treasure." He Ganqing said happily.
"Congratulations to the eldest young lady!" Qing'er was also very happy after hearing this.
"Qing'er, although this news was found by Yuanmei, you have also helped this young lady a lot. When I find the treasure, you will also have your contribution. We are only aware of the whereabouts of the treasure. If we want to steal it from the master, Qing'er needs to continue helping." He Ganqing said.
"I am also very honored to be able to do things for the eldest young lady. As long as the eldest young lady gives me the order, I will do it immediately." Qing'er said.
"Qing'er, in this Wanfu, you are the one I trust the most. You are not only my personal maid, but also my good cousin. In the future, my cousin will definitely reward you with treasures. This is a jade bracelet I brought when I was dowrying, and I will give it to you." He Ganqing took out a bracelet from a sachet and handed it to Qing'er.
"Thank you, Grandma, thank you cousin!" Qing'er was not polite, and expressed her gratitude repeatedly, kneeling on the ground to accept He Ganqing's reward.
"Qing'er, get up quickly, that's what I think. Tomorrow, you go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine to calm the mind and find an opportunity to put it in the master's meal. When the master is asleep, you will personally go and retrieve the broken bamboo medical books on the master's body. I wonder if you dare to do this?" He Ganqing asked.
"Why don't you dare? As long as my cousin tells me, I will do my best to do my best. I will go to the pharmacy to buy medicine tomorrow." Qing'er promised.
"It's so good, but there are two things that Qing'er needs to pay attention to. You must not go to our Wanfu Pharmacy shop to prevent Wan Xiuping and Bai Yang from being aware of it. In addition, you have to bribe a reliable cook to facilitate the use of medicine in the food." He Ganqing reminded.
"This is not a problem. Qing'er must do it well. I am just worried. If the other young masters and grandma also know that the treasure is hidden on the master and they will take it away first, wouldn't it be useless for the eldest young master to do some hard work?" Qing'er said worriedly.
"I hope they have not heard of this news yet. You must do this tomorrow. If the situation changes, you will report it to me immediately." He Ganqing said.
After explaining the plan to steal the treasure, Qing'er left He Ganqing's room. However, Qing'er did not return to her room immediately and quietly came to the room of the second young master Wan Xiucai.
