"That's her good fortune." Xiqiu smiled. Biwu appeared simple-minded but was quite savvy, always mingling around the manor. If she wanted to find something out, she'd get accurate information in no time. But if someone tried to extract information from her, she'd play dumb and feign ignorance.
According to Chunliu, Biwu was a little swindler who conned people for food and drink!
Just then, Chunliu arrived with Ruan Jingliu. Xiqiu went out to greet them, smiling, "Why have you come here today? Has there been any progress with the supply?"
"Not that quickly." Ruan Jingliu sat down with a sigh, "I've contacted a few friends I made while practicing medicine, but there's still no news. I don't know if it'll work." After a pause, she continued, "If I had known I was going to open a clinic today, I would have formed more connections back then. Now, I'm like a headless chicken running everywhere."
