Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 17

Strategies and tactics to pull down a compet.i.tor are very normal.

He had read the agreement terms and feels that the demand was too much. What is Miss Gao's intention?

For him, there is a high possibility that Gao Lan Mei's action is a conspiracy orchestrated by Prince Wei's enemies.

If Gao Lan Mei would know what Xi Ma is thinking, she will find it funny.

She can't imagine that there's someone who will intentionally create a false claim against Medical Pavilion. That mortal might have eaten the guts of a lion.

She also thinks that it will be a stupid move for an enemy to attack in the broad daylight and in front of a big crowd. This kind of strategy is not for her.

On Xi Ma's defense though, he never expected that poisonous walnuts existed on their stocks.

He still believes that shopkeeper Yu will never think of betraying the Medical Pavilion because of its background and severe punishments for traitors.

"As I have mentioned earlier, Shopkeeper Yu will eat a walnut. If it's poisonous, the Medical Pavilion will agree with our demand for not believing us and as a

Xi Ma frowned. Casualties can mean anyone who ate the possibly poisonous walnuts.

That anyone can be a child or a pregnant woman that may even have a powerful background. Walnuts are very common that anyone can get it.

Who would knew that the common herbs can be poisonous?

If this is true and was found out late, it is a disaster for the Medical Pavilion, especially for Prince Wei Jiayi who owns it.

"If that is true, we will definitely give a reward. You and the old mute beggar will also be considered our benefactor." Xi Ma confirmed. Everyone feels that this a reasonable response.

He added, "However, your second requested reward is not something we can agree on. We can give you free herbs on a limited number under cla.s.s C and D herbs as other people need these herbs too."

Though they can also do their own investigation in the Medical Pavilion, it is best to finish this immediately as people talk and words spread too fast.

Continuing, "On the other hand, if proven untrue, compensating is not enough. It is just right that we hand you all to the Justice Affairs!"

"I agree." She answered without any delay.

Gao Lan Mei thinks that Xi Ma's offer sounds acceptable. She may not get all free herbs, the option to use them to earn money to buy the not-free herbs works fine for her.

There are some medicines that are too expensive for anyone to just give freely.

Gao Chu and the old mute beggar became nervous. What if they fail? Their hearts hammered from their chests.


They looked pleadingly to Gao Lan Mei to ask her to re-consider through their eyes.

Justice Affairs are for traitors! It is known for punishments and tortures that are worse than death!

In a normal country, a cell will be in the city. For Justice Affairs though, it is in the inner part of Mount Hua.

It is rumored that wardens and guards in there are not mortals but beasts who enjoy playing with mortals before they eat them!
