Chapter 183: Chapter 141: The Money-Grubbing Little One

Madam Jiang started the conversation, and Mrs. Zhang took a hit, now everyone who understood praised how well-behaved Panpan was, saying the Xia family’s eldest daughter was truly unique.

“Panpan is good, and the madam is good too, but the madam has a few bumps on her skin.” Panpan took out a small bottle from her tiny pouch and opened it: “Madam, just apply some ointment and it’ll be fine.”

This…

Mrs. Chen looked at Panpan with astonishment.

She did indeed have bumps, but they were on her chest, how did this child know?

The key is, she’s suggesting to use some kind of ointment.

“Madam, don’t be polite, just apply some, the ointment is made by my second aunt, it’s a family secret recipe.”

Mrs. Chen suddenly remembered, the ointment coming from the Xiao family, home of Doctor Xiao, head of the Imperial Hospital, was not so simple.

“Is this a gift for me?” Mrs. Chen reached out with trembling hands, if she could get her hands on it…

“Nope, this is for the madam to apply, just once is enough, cannot waste the ointment, Panpan is too unwilling to give it away.”

Mrs. Chen… Child, child, can you speak less directly?

“Then can I spend money to buy it?”

Indeed, the Xiao family’s products are unique, rare and hard to come by. To buy with a hefty sum is fate and fortune.

“No way, Panpan only has this one box, cannot be greedy for money and cannot sell.”

Panpan shook her cute little head: “Panpan is a good child, not greedy for money, the ointment is only for the madam to apply once, the little bumps will heal, it’s a waste of money to buy, that’s not good.”

Earnestly persuading not to sell, while also advising Mrs. Chen not to buy.

Xia Zhi, who was serving by the side, found it amusing: their own master is so conflicted, she could bet the lady desperately wants to sell it at a high price but is reluctant to do so.

No one knew how money-minded their young lady was, Mrs. gave her a small storeroom, even a few coins she solemnly locked in a box and then placed it in the storeroom, checking the collection three times a day.

The one who gifted the most treasures was the closest to her heart.

Despite her young age, not only is she money-minded but also very fond of good looks, absolutely adores people who look good, no matter who they are, if they look good, she’d immediately gravitate towards them, if not, she’d ignore them completely.

“Will applying it really make it better?”

“It will, it will, trust me.” Panpan nodded: “Go ahead, apply it, don’t apply too much, too much is useless, mainly it wastes my ointment.”

Mrs. Chen truly believed and took the ointment from Panpan’s hand to find a place to change.

“Mrs. Chen, she’s just a kid who doesn’t know anything, you actually trust her?”

Mrs. Lin, who had been watching, thought Mrs. Chen might be a fool for believing a child’s words about the bumps on her skin.

“I’ll give it a try, these small bumps never seem to heal.”

Had consulted doctors, and even asked Imperial Physicians for help, taken numerous medications but never found results.

She was surprised this little girl noticed immediately and even gave her medicine.

It’s worth trying, if it works, it’s her fortune, if not, no loss.

Mrs. Chen took the medicine to the dressing room, while Mrs. Lin still wanted to say something.

“Your feet smell, really smell.”

Mrs. Lin’s face turned pale instantly, really wanting to shut her up.

But seeing Lixia and Xia Zhi standing behind her, coldly staring, thinking of the beating Mrs. Zhang took, she instantly restrained all her thoughts.

“You look good, smelly feet aren’t nice, here’s a medicine packet for you, boil water to soak your feet, soak for two days and it’ll be fine.”

Mrs. Lin looked at Panpan, what kind of child is this?

The little packet pulled out casually just seemed meant to buy hearts?

“Don’t believe me?” Panpan packed the medicine into her small pouch: “Opportunity is only for those prepared, if you don’t believe, just forget it.”

“I didn’t say I don’t trust you, at least tell me the price, I don’t like taking things for free.”

Mrs. Lin remembered Mrs. Chen’s words: There’s no harm in trying.

Indeed, she does have a smelly feet problem, embarrassing to say.

But the condition was untreatable, hence she changed her socks every hour to switch.

From a young age, she’s changed more socks than she’s worn clothes.

This was her secret, unexpectedly revealed by this cheeky child.

“It’s free, I’m giving it to you because you look pretty.”

Mrs. Lin… felt she was being teased by a kid.

“No, I won’t take advantage of that kindness, I don’t want to owe anyone.”

Mrs. Lin held onto her last bit of stubbornness.

“Fine, fine, if you want to give, then give, I don’t even know how much, you decide, I won’t mind if it’s little or too much.”

Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and took off a gold hairpin from her hand: “You might not need this now, but it can be added to your dowry later.”

“But Panpan is still small, only two and a half years old, remember to come and add to Panpan’s dowry when she gets married.”

“Alright, I’ll come, definitely come.” Mrs. Lin was already grinding her teeth, have you ever seen a two-and-a-half-year-old girl confidently asking for a dowry?

Mrs. Xia was a legend, a savvy person, this little girl is like a wave set to crash Mrs. Xia onto the shore.

Mrs. Lin half-believingly traded a gold hairpin for a small packet of medicine, the key is, she said it’d cure the smell, is it true?

If it’s fake, she would definitely make a little doll and poke it every day!

Really, her long-hidden secret was lightly exposed by her, rendering her deeply embarrassed.

Over there, Mrs. Chen applied the ointment on the bumps, instantly felt a slight coolness.

She was amazed.

Yes, since she got these bumps, she’d always felt burning sensation, sometimes stinging, sometimes itchy, never felt so cool before.

So, Doctor Xiao’s family secret recipe was truly trustworthy!

After applying, Mrs. Chen came out and asked Panpan again if she could buy the ointment.

“Madam, you really don’t need to buy, your bumps will disappear tomorrow.”

Panpan thought of insisting again as it’d hurt to part with it.

No, no, she must resist the temptation, after all, she only has one bottle of this ointment.

“Really, will it disappear tomorrow?”

“Trust Panpan, Panpan is a good child and never lies, lying will cause a long nose to grow.”

Hearing this childish talk, Mrs. Chen felt she was truly unwell, how did she come to believe her words so easily?

Seeing Mrs. Lin nearby, Mrs. Chen felt a bit embarrassed.

“This little girl is quite charming.” Mrs. Lin saw Mrs. Chen’s gaze on her and fearing her secret might be exposed, quickly changed the subject: “Mrs. Xia is really fortunate.”

“Indeed, even the General’s wife is blessed, having such an adorable child, too bad my family only has boys, having a daughter like this would be great.”

“You will, you will have a daughter.” Panpan said to Mrs. Chen: “You’ll have a sister, but she won’t be as good as Panpan.”

This was both comforting and saddening.
