21: Twenty pills produced? Lu An'an was astonished.

Lu An'an had racked her brains for a long time without finding a solution. How did Feng Ming come up with one as soon as he found out?

Jiang Shuwan smiled. "Sister Lu, you are so smart and have such a talent for business, you must know that the best way to solve the problem is to lower the price."

"Fight a price war with the other side."

Lu An'an nodded. "I did think about it, but we are a small business with a weak foundation; we can't afford a price war."

After saying that, Lu An'an suddenly snapped back to her senses. "Sister Shuwan, you don't mean the Second Young Master's plan is to directly enter the field and fight Huidan Workshop, do you?"

"That's foolish. Huidan Workshop is backed by the Huangfu Family. With the Feng Family's current strength, they simply can't win. You should hurry and persuade the Second Young Master."

Lu An'an had originally thought it would be some peerless master plan.

She hadn't expected this Second Young Master to be so reckless.

Going head-to-head like this would yield no benefits at all.

Seeing her anxious face, Jiang Shuwan quickly spoke to soothe her.

"Sister Lu, don't worry. Let me finish. My husband is not that kind of reckless person. The reason we can fight a price war is entirely because our Medicinal Pill success rate has increased significantly."

"Increased? But for one set of ingredients, at most five pills can be produced..."

At this point, Lu An'an paused.

If she hadn't misheard just now, those Alchemists said they produced thirty pills per furnace.

No, she must have misheard.

Thirty pills!

How could that be possible?

Jiang Shuwan gave a gentle smile. Knowing that Lu An'an still couldn't accept this reality, she took her hand and told her personally once more.

"Sister Lu, it's exactly as you just heard. My husband brought out several Pill Formulas, and these formulas only add a few more medicinal ingredients to raise the success rate of the pills."

"Thirty pills per furnace. With this success rate, what kind of price war could we not win?"

Lu An'an glanced at the man standing not far away, chatting freely with the Alchemists, and a different kind of feeling arose in her heart.

"This man is truly extraordinary."

"I knew of him because he disregarded others' opinions and married his Sister-in-law for the sake of the Family."

"And judging by Jiang Shuwan's reaction, he treats this woman, who was originally his Sister-in-law, very well."

"He was able to bring out such rare and precious Pill Formulas so quickly; it's clear he's certain of victory in this battle. I really didn't choose the wrong person."

When Lu An'an left, she was still in a daze.

To verify the truth,

She had personally watched several Alchemists refine pills. Even though she watched the entire process, the final result was still hard to believe.

It was actually a full thirty pills.

"Miss, you've been in this state for a long time. What exactly is going on?"

Autumn Chrysanthemum hadn't gone to the Alchemy room, so she didn't know what Lu An'an had experienced.

Seeing her Young Miss staring blankly,

Autumn Chrysanthemum began to feel resentful.

"Miss, did that man named Feng bully you?"

"Huh?"

Lu An'an snapped back to her senses and shook her head.

"No."

"Let's go, we need to hurry back and set things up. Tomorrow the Feng Family's pills will be delivered. We will definitely win this battle."

Lu An'an recovered her focus, instantly filled with energy.

On the other side, on the way home, Jiang Shuwan and Feng Ming were together.

Feng Ming's gaze was constantly fixed on her.

Jiang Shuwan felt embarrassed by the staring and asked, "Husband, is there something dirty on my face?"

Feng Ming shook his head and continued to stare.

"Husband?"

Feng Ming also spoke, "Shuwan, do you not like me?"

Jiang Shuwan quickly shook her head in denial. "No, husband, why would you think that?"

"Then today, when Lu An'an said she would sell herself to me, not only were you not jealous, you were actually that happy?"

"I..."

Jiang Shuwan answered instinctively, "Husband, I also misunderstood Sister Lu."

"Don't change the subject. I'm asking why you were so happy and even wanted to help arrange it?"

Jiang Shuwan had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Husband, I just thought that you are so outstanding, you certainly shouldn't belong to me alone. As your wife, it's only right for me to worry about these things for you."

"And now that your legs are better, I really do need a sister to help share the burden and serve you when it's inconvenient for me."

Hearing this, Feng Ming was instantly dumbfounded.

This silly wife.

Others would wish their husband's entire heart was on them, but she was different; she even wanted to find someone to serve him.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.

"You've only just started eating a bit better and you're already exhausted? You truly are a silly girl. Your husband still has many positions to research with you."

Jiang Shuwan's face turned red instantly.

The next day.

Jiang Shuwan became a little lazybug again.

She broke her routine of waking up at seven o'clock.

It couldn't be helped; Feng Ming's legs had just recovered, and he was currently savoring the experience. How could he easily let her off?

After a bout of tossing and turning, she couldn't get up.

Feng Ming gave some instructions and went to the shop alone first.

Just as he arrived at the shop, Feng Ming saw that two carriages were already parked at the entrance.

They were filled with large and small boxes of goods.

"Which shop is this being sent to?"

Feng Ming asked.

"Reporting to Second Young Master, these are the Medicinal Pills for Lu An'an, who signed the indenture contract with you yesterday!"

"The Medicinal Pills for our Feng Family's shops are already fully prepared. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to your Pill Formulas, Second Young Master. We aren't afraid of the Huangfu Family at all in this price war!"

Shopkeeper Liu was all smiles, his face full of wrinkles.

At this time, there were clearly many more customers in the shop than yesterday. It seemed the counterattack of the price war had already begun.

Feng Ming nodded, thought for a moment, and said,

"Just right, I'll go to her shop to take a look. If the Madam comes, tell her!"

After saying that, Feng Ming followed the carriages and set off.

Lu An'an really had something; just by signing a contract yesterday, he had reaped rewards from the System.

If he had more contact today and boosted her favorability, he wondered if the rewards given by the System would be more.

Anping Pill Workshop.

Lu An'an had already taken down her own plaque and replaced it with the Feng Family's sign.

Autumn Chrysanthemum stood to the side with a pouting mouth, very unhappy.

"Miss, you've been acting strange ever since you came back yesterday. Did that Young Master of the Feng Family take the opportunity to bully you?"

"You were supposed to be an extraordinary woman of the business world like Madam Hua, but now, because of the current difficulties, even the Pill Workshop you worked so hard to run is gone."

"If you get bullied again, how am I supposed to go back and explain to the Master!"

Autumn Chrysanthemum became sadder as she spoke, looking like she was about to cry.

Lu An'an was somewhat speechless. "You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Second Young Master Feng is a true gentleman. He just got married; how could he do such a thing?"

"Besides, didn't Madam Hua also manage shops for others back then before slowly rising up? As long as your heart is in it, why care about your current situation?"
