What if she teach a family of paper artisan tricks on how to do better?!
She was the student of a doctor who went to the west to gain knowledge, so ofc she knews more tricks that that family who never leaved town !
Also you may feel that all what is happening is irrelevant to the main plot , but from my experience of reading the novel, i can tell you that everything that happen is a peice of puzzle to complet the finale mystery in the arc
@musicfreak12 the rare medicines ARE the reward. Some of it worth a lot and extremely hard to find. Not to mention that only emperor's family could get hand on these easily.
And its MaoMao we talked about. She would prefer poison rather than money. Even our ML had hard time courting her. (Since no jewelry nor beauty things work on her). Well, she never been a "normal girl". Her freakiness that make her lovable.
