15: Chapter 15 She is the Benefactor of the Tang Sect
15 -15 She is the Benefactor of the Tang Sect
“Princess Consort, we’ve arrived,” Ziyi’s voice came from outside.
After Chu Baihan put on her veil, she lifted the curtain and stepped down.
She didn’t need anyone to help her, her movements were brisk.
Although she had deliberately dressed down, wearing simple and elegant clothes with only a single hairpin, and still bore an unhealed scar on her forehead, her eyes, like pools of water, along with her cold and lonesome aura, still attracted many glances.
Ignoring these stares, Chu Baihan looked up at the signboard in front of her—Qianling Pavilion.
This was one of the shops her mother had left in the capital city.
She picked up the hem of her dress and walked in slowly.
The shop was large, but quiet, with only a shopkeeper, who was kindly and elderly, with white hair and beard.
“Madam, are you here to buy medicine?
We don’t have much, but you can tell me what you need.
If I don’t have it, I’ll think of something,” he said politely.
“Doctor Wu, it’s me.” Chu Baihan removed her veil.
After Doctor Wu got a clear look at her face, he hesitated for a long time.
When he finally recognized her, his eyes turned red.
“Little Miss, you, you…”
“It’s me.
You’ve had a hard time taking care of this shop over the years,” Chu Baihan nodded.
Doctor Wu’s voice choked up, “Little Miss, you look so much like Miss.
I remember the year you left the capital, you were only eight years old, and now…”
“Doctor Wu, please tell me about the shop,” Chu Baihan said, settling him down to prevent too much sentimentality, and swiftly changed the subject.
At the mention of this, Doctor Wu’s expression turned to one of immense guilt, “Miss entrusted me with managing the shop, but who would have thought that, over these years, Guangming Hall has monopolized all the medicine in the capital, and all the other doctors have left.
Now I am the only one left in Qianling Pavilion.”
“You’ve done very well, and my mother’s spirit in heaven would surely be comforted.
Now that I am back, we can revitalize the shop together,” Chu Baihan comforted him patiently.
But Doctor Wu’s countenance grew troubled, “Now, Qianling Pavilion is just a mess, I’m afraid it will be a burden on you.”
However, Chu Baihan shook her head firmly, “It’s okay, my mother’s wish was to open a medical clinic, and later a medicine shop; I now wish to fulfill her dream.”
“Princess Consort, you now have the backing of the Prince Residence, it’s really inappropriate for you to be so exposed,” Ziyi warned seriously, realizing Chu Baihan intended to take over the shop.
“Princess Consort?” Doctor Wu stiffened.
After a moment, he slapped his forehead, “Look at my memory, indeed there have been rumors circulating in the capital about the legitimate daughter of the Chu Residence marrying into the prince’s family.
Little Miss, you, you…”
He looked at Chu Baihan with an expression filled with affection.
The whole world knew the current situation of the prince; getting married into that situation, wouldn’t it be very hard for the Little Miss?
The Miss had already jumped into a pit of fire, why was the fate of the Little Miss so hard as well?
Noticing his concern, Chu Baihan explained softly, “Doctor Wu, don’t worry, I am very well.”
“Ziyi, Ruolan, this medicine shop is too disorganized; clean it up a bit, I have something to discuss with Doctor Wu,” Chu Baihan turned to give the order.
Fortunately, these two heeded her command and got busy with the task.
Chu Baihan then walked with Doctor Wu to the back of the courtyard.
“Little Miss, are you trying to send them away to handle some matter?” Doctor Wu asked in a lowered voice.
Chu Baihan looked shocked, “Doctor Wu, how did you know?”
“Little Miss, every time you came to Qianling Pavilion as a child, and wanted to sneak out to play, you used this method.
I still remember,” Doctor Wu said, stroking his beard and smiling.
Hearing this, Chu Baihan couldn’t help but recall the past, her expression slightly sorrowful.
“Then I’ll have to ask Doctor Wu to keep it a secret for me for the time being.” She nodded at him and quickly made her way out through the back door.
After asking a passerby for an address, she made several turns and arrived in front of a pawnshop.

She hurried inside.
Looking around and making sure she was the only customer in the pawnshop at the moment, she quickly threw a small wooden token to the dozing shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper, originally drowsy, snapped to full alertness when he saw the small wooden token.
His eyes widened as he looked at Chu Baihan, “You, you…”
“Call your master,” Chu Baihan said in a deep voice, her brows adding a chill to her presence.
“Yes.”
The shopkeeper quickly ran into the back.
It was only a moment before a bearded man in his forties hurried out.
He was so rushed that he almost put on his robe incorrectly.
“Miss Chu, how come you are in the capital city?” he asked in surprise.
“Uncle Tang,” Chu Baihan said politely.
“Please take a seat, Miss Chu.
If the master knew you were in the capital city, he would be delighted,” Tang Wankai said earnestly.
“Your master is also in the capital city?” Chu Baihan’s smile stiffened, and she looked awkward.
Tang Wankai quickly nodded, “The master came to the capital city to take care of some affairs some days ago, he…”
“Let’s not talk about your master right now.
I came today because I need your help with something,” Chu Baihan interrupted him.
Tang Wankai patted his chest and said, “Miss Chu, you are our master’s lifesaver, as well as a benefactor to all of us at Tang Sect.
Whatever you need us to do, just say the word.”
Frowning, Chu Baihan ventured, “Doesn’t your Tang Sect have rules that you do not get involved with the court or the Imperial Family?”
In fact, she had considered asking them to help her rescue Nan Xing.
“That,” Tang Wankai frowned, “the master once made us swear a death oath that indeed we could not meddle in matters concerning the court and the Imperial Family.
Miss Chu, have you offended someone?”
“It’s nothing,” Chu Baihan had to dispel the thought of asking for help.
“Then Miss Chu, you’re here to…”
“Didn’t I deposit a sum of money with your Tang Sect before?
I would like to withdraw it now,” Chu Baihan said softly.
“Are you really going to withdraw it?” Tang Wankai’s expression was both surprised and worried.
After all, that sum of money was not small.
Why did she suddenly need so much money?
What kind of trouble had she encountered?
“I want to open a medical clinic, so I need the money,” Chu Baihan explained patiently.
“I see,” Tang Wankai sighed in relief and said with a smile, “Although opening a clinic requires money, the sum you have is more than enough to open at least fifty clinics in the capital city.”
“Then help me withdraw one-tenth of the money and send it to Qianling Pavilion,” Chu Baihan said firmly.
“Alright.”
Feeling that Ziyi and the others would soon discover she wasn’t at Qianling Pavilion, Chu Baihan didn’t dare to stay long and got up to leave.
Tang Wankai tentatively asked, “Miss Chu, about your visit to the capital city, should I inform the master…”
“No, don’t tell him,” Chu Baihan interrupted Tang Wankai with some nervousness.
Although Tang Wankai looked somewhat disappointed, he decided to respect her wishes.
