Chapter 14
The herbs on the Medicine Pavilion are top quality. There are even rare expensive herbs! Some herbs cannot be obtained by just anyone!
Even royalty cannot get it sometimes! So how can she even think about such demand?
Shopkeeper Yu's face is black, "This… this…" He does not have the authority to decide this.
The owner is the only one who can make a major decision like this. Incidentally, he is currently here! Should he be happy or not?
Thinking about the owner, who is on the third floor of the Medical Pavilion, he wants to faint.
Just by dealing with the man on a regular basis is already a challenge for him. He was able to work for the Pavillion for a long time as owner seldom visits. So why is he here now?
His forehead started to sweat heavily again. This day is really tiring him out.
He looked at his personal a.s.sistant, who is grinning like a fool. Showing his confidence like telling him that there is nothing to worry.
The fool is probably already counting his share while he worries on how to deal with the beings in front of him.
He is annoyed, but thinking that all seems to be in order, it helped him to calm down. "I can agree with the five hundred gold coins, but not free herbs!" he exclaimed, with all
So audacious! Who does she think she is to have this demand?
This is also what the crowd thinks. "So greedy! This young woman looks pretty and must be from a respectable family, but her request is unreasonable!" Someone commented.
"Do you think she planned this with the beggar?" Another said.
Hearing these Gao Chu's face turn black. She was angry! Her miss is just trying to help. How dare these beings to make it sound like they are the culprit?
Have they forgotten that if they are the one that accidentally ate the poisonous walnuts, they may just die without even knowing why?
This also made the old mute beggar feel bad. He did not expect that it will turn out this way. He also does not know why the demand seems too high. This young miss does not seem to be a greedy person.
He approached Gao Lan Mei and try to tell her that it is enough, but she just looked at him innocently and did not speak.
"Then we do not have anything to talk about. Gao Chu! Let's go!" she said immediately, as Gao Lan Mei does not really care.
She needs herbs, yes. If she can obtain it free why not, but it does not mean she will beg for it.
Burning some more house is also an alternative good option. She can make her enemies cry by doing so and the spoils are also good.
Shopkeeper Yu panicked, "Wait!" If this will not be solved today and then let these people leave to spread false news about the Medical Pavilion, it will prove that he is incompetent.
"Do not leave yet! You wait there!" Shopkeeper Yu commanded Gao Lan Mei to stay.
He finally decided to see the owner instead. The owner cannot say that he is incompetent as he is only deciding what's best for the Medical Pavilion's reputation.
Shopkeeper Yu will let the owner decide. 'Who knows? Hmp! He may even help me deal with this shameless woman and beggar!"
Thinking this, shopkeeper Yu finally made his resolve and composed his self-trying to plan on how to approach the matter to the owner.
Gao Lan Mei did not mind waiting. She is aware that the shopkeeper cannot decide these things.
The higher the people involved the better.
They will not be able to back out!
