Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Meeting Bai Wuheng Again

"Such a beautiful item should only belong to her!"

Lu Xinyue’s reaction was naturally within Chu Nanli’s expectations.

She smiled, "These two sets of head ornaments are just samples, not for sale."

"Not for sale?"

Lu Xinyue frowned slightly in displeasure.

In her view, how could there possibly be anything in this world that money couldn’t buy? Chu Nanli was surely just aiming to jack up the price.

This jewelry was so beautiful and novel; she didn’t want to miss out on it; thus, no matter the cost, she was determined to get it.

"Silver is not an issue for me. Just tell me how much you want for it. I will pay double the asking price. Is that enough?"

Lu Xinyue thought she had successfully integrated herself with Chu Nanli and Lin Xuanxuan, and the disdain she felt for the two women naturally showed slightly in her words and actions.

Fortunately, she had not completely lost her sense, knowing full well that she should not treat them too poorly.

Otherwise, all the preparations she had made would have been in vain.

"I only said these two sets are samples, not that there wouldn’t be others. You said it yourself, we are friends; how could I possibly cheat you?"

Chu Nanli, very seriously, had fully learned Lu Xinyue’s insincere tactics and even used them to counter manipulate her.

Unsurprisingly, Chu Nanli’s words decreased the displeasure rising in Lu Xinyue’s heart.

"There are some things I need to make clear to you. These two sets of head ornaments’ designs were hard to come by. As you have seen, there are no other styles like these in any other place in the capital..."

Under Chu Nanli’s praise, the already valuable jewelry gained additional worth.

Lin Xuanxuan stood by, stunned and even felt a sudden urge to spend her silver.

Not to mention Lu Xinyue, who faced such temptation directly.

By then, Lu Xinyue had understood Chu Nanli’s intent.

"Then I will give you silver now, and when these two sets of head ornaments are for sale, you must sell them to me first!"

"Also, if there is anything good in the future, think of me first!"

In the middle of talking, Lu Xinyue made a promise of several thousand bright silvers.

Her rate of spending silver was equally astonishing.

Only after Lu Xinyue had left did Lin Xuanxuan find a chance to speak.

"The silver she’s given us these past few days must be more than ten thousand, right?"

To think, her mother’s entire dowry didn’t even total that amount.

It even included assets like real estate that couldn’t be easily liquidated; Lu Xinyue was offering pure silver.

"After all, this silver isn’t exactly stolen; we might as well keep it."

Allowing Lu Xinyue to see the jewelry first was Chu Nanli’s idea in hoping to sell it to her.

She didn’t just want to sell it, but also to have people beg to buy it.

Being a Commandery Princess, and among the Noble Ladies of the capital, Lu Xinyue was someone people sought to flatter.

If she wore such unique and beautiful jewelry, others would definitely compete fervently to tout her.

When that happened, the person who would profit tremendously would still be Chu Nanli.

"Then I must go back and tell mother to produce more designs. Perhaps we can sell them at an even higher price!"

Even though Lin Xuanxuan didn’t have a money-grubbing personality, she wouldn’t just ignore such a substantial amount of silver, would she?

Chu Nanli felt the same way.

"You go back and tell Aunt Liu to create novel and unrestrained designs, the more exotic and beautiful, the better."

Chu Nanli desired was the unique business of the capital.

The raw materials and designs were all in her hands — couldn’t she make as much as she wanted?

However, much of this was thanks to Lu Xinyue, the god of wealth.

No matter what Lu Xinyue’s purpose truly was, at least for now, the benefits she brought to Chu Nanli were tangible.

Chu Nanli silently calculated in her mind that at this rate, she would be able to get tens of thousands of silver from Lu Xinyue.

Moreover, it was Lu Xinyue who offered it willingly.

While Chu Nanli was pondering how to handle Lu Xinyue in the future, the carriage suddenly stopped, as if it had hit something.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage door and saw that it was a person.

"Master, this person suddenly fell in front of our carriage just now. In my view, he just wanted to scam us!"

Fortunately, the coachman today was skilled and managed to stop just in time before hitting the person.

If he had spooked the horses, Chu Nanli on the carriage might have been injured.

Yanyan glared angrily at the person on the ground. If it weren’t for the fact that he had passed out, she really wanted to kick him a couple of times.

"It’s good that we didn’t suffer any losses," Chu Nanli looked at the person on the ground and felt something familiar about his frame, "I remember there’s a physician’s office ahead; we might as well take him along."

If they left him in the middle of the road unattended, any ensuing issues could eventually trouble her.

The coachman drove the carriage to the side and parked it, then went to help the person up.

It was only then that Chu Nanli could clearly see the person’s face.

Indeed, it was someone she knew.

"Bai Wuheng?"

However, having not seen him for so long, Bai Wuheng looked strikingly different from the spirited Divine Doctor she remembered. Now he was gaunt, with deep hollows in his cheeks and dark circles under his eyes.

There were also some scrapes on his face and the back of his hands, and his clothes were filthy beyond recognition.

She hardly dared to recognize him in this state.

Even though she didn’t feel much for Bai Wuheng, she couldn’t bring herself to ignore a matter of life and death.

Moreover, with so many people having seen him fall in front of her carriage, if she truly ignored him and he woke up and blamed her, what would she do then?

"Yanyan, have someone inform the Bai Residence. We’ll drop him off at the physician’s office and leave," Chu Nanli said, frowning slightly and deciding to stick to the original plan.

Perhaps coincidentally, just as they arrived at the physician’s office, Bai Wuheng woke up.

"You... how did I end up here?"

Even as he opened his eyes, he did not seem much more lucid, his gaze still cloudy.

It took him a long time to barely realize where he was and to recognize Chu Nanli.

"Was it you who brought me to the physician’s office?"

Bai Wuheng’s expression betrays a mix of complex emotions, and he didn’t immediately know how to start speaking.

He murmured a thank you in a very low voice, plunging the atmosphere back into an awkward silence.

Finally, Chu Nanli took the initiative, "I brought you here just so I wouldn’t have to deal with you when you woke up. Don’t thank me."

She certainly hadn’t forgotten how Bai Wuheng had previously helped Lin Fuying.

This man was even blinder than Ye Yunting.

"But you really surprised me, being a physician, don’t you understand the importance of your body? Drinking so much, don’t you want to live?"

"And your hands, do you not want them anymore?"
