She shook her head in embarrassment: "No, I have been locked up in the backyard since I was a child. I have never taken a step out. My biological mother died young and I have no property!"

When Lin Ruoyou looked at her, she looked like a pitiful little girl who had nowhere to stay.

She patted her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, you can go back to the General's Mansion with me first. Anyway, the courtyard of the back house is big enough, you can live in whatever you want!"

Zhu Dieyi bit her lip in embarrassment: "Would this bother you too much?"

She shook her head vigorously: "No, my mother quite likes you, don't hesitate, let's go back quickly!"

As soon as the two of them arrived at the General's Mansion, they saw Zi'er standing at the door looking anxiously.

Lin Ruoyou waved her hand: "What's wrong?"

Zi'er immediately complained angrily: "Miss, you are back. The housekeeper, Uncle Zeng, had his head broken by the shopkeeper of Jishi Hall. When he went to take over the medicine hall, the two sides had an argument!"

Lin Ruoyou's pretty face suddenly fell. Ji Shitang was so brave.

She quickly went to visit Uncle Zeng and saw him sitting on a chair with a sad face. Although his head had been wrapped in brocade cloth, his injuries were shocking.

He said guiltily: "Miss, I let you down. I didn't even do this little thing well!"

Lin Ruoyou comforted her softly: "I don't blame you, tell me what's going on!"

Uncle Zeng said angrily: "At this time, Jishitang is almost an empty shell. The accounts and inventory do not match at all. Many precious medicinal materials have been secretly transferred by the shopkeeper. He even raked them up and asked the lady to pay for them." Buy it again!”

Lin Ruoyou almost laughed in anger. This Medical Valley was so shameless. He obviously transferred Jishitang to her hands, but secretly transferred the medicinal materials. Did he think she was easy to bully?

She said calmly: "Call Han Yue'er, and I will take her to receive Ji Shi Tang in person!"

At this time, the silent Zhu Dieyi said cautiously: "Sister Lin, can you show me the account book? When I have nothing to do, I will help the steward in the house to reconcile the accounts!"

Lin Ruoyou's eyes lit up, and she accidentally brought back a female abacus.

She knows better than anyone else that there are specialties in medicine. Although she has superb medical skills, she really doesn't know anything about settling accounts. If Zhu Dieyi can help, that would be great.

She quickly said: "Okay, as long as you help me take care of Jishitang's accounts, I will transfer [-]% of Jishitang's shares to you!"

Zhu Dieyi immediately turned red and shook her head: "This can't be done. Sister Lin helped me escape from the sea of ​​misery. I am already grateful. Moreover, you also saved my life. How can I still ask for the shares you gave me?"

Because King An didn't want Zhu Dieyi to know that he had rescued her from the water, he asked Lin Ruoyou to help conceal it.

Lin Ruoyou held her hand and said: "Brothers are still settling accounts. I can't let you work for Bai Gan. Let's go to Jishi Hall to deal with those monsters!"

At this time, the pale Han Yue'er was also brought over, and she asked with dissatisfaction: "What do you want from me?"

Lin Ruoyou raised her hand and slapped her hard, knocking her unconscious immediately.

She murmured in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?"

Lin Ruoyou said coldly: "Why not? Don't forget, your hands are mine now. If you still understand your situation, I will beat you until you understand!"

"You dare!" Han Yue'er subconsciously retorted sharply.

Lin Ruoyou slapped her again, causing her to take a step back, and blood flowed from her mouth and nose.

Seeing that she was about to raise her hand again, Han Yue'er knelt on the ground with a bang and wailed: "Stop fighting, I know I was wrong, can't I just listen to you in everything?"

Lin Ruoyou snorted coldly: "Zi'er, take her to Jishi Hall!"

Han Yue'er's whole body was shaken, and she begged with a trembling voice: "Can you deal with the injury on my face first? I don't want others to see it!"

Lin Ruoyou refused directly and ruthlessly: "No!"

Han Yue'er dared not speak out in anger, so she could only follow Zi'er into a carriage with a look of grievance on her face.

Everyone soon arrived at Jishi Hall, and saw that the medicine hall, which originally had many patients, was now very depressed.

The plaque hung diagonally on the eaves, as if it was about to fall down at any moment.

Before Lin Ruoyou entered the lobby, she heard a noise coming from inside: "My cricket won this time, you guys get the money quickly!"

When I came to the door, I saw that the shopkeeper of the medicine hall and several medicine boys were gathering together to fight crickets.

Things are scattered around the house, and there is dust everywhere. This is not a medicine hall, it just looks like a junkyard.

Zi'er's face turned pale with anger, and she said anxiously: "Where is the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper of the medicine hall was very excited. He said without looking back: "The medicine hall is temporarily closed. If you want to see a doctor, go somewhere else!"

Without saying a word, Lin Ruoyou quickly picked up the teapot from the table and poured it directly on the shopkeeper's head.

"Hey, where did you get this little bitch from? Are you looking for death?" The shopkeeper was embarrassed and cursed angrily.

Lin Ruoyou sneered: "You are so mean-mouthed, you are really looking for a beating. If any of you dare to slap him ten times, I will reward him ten copper coins!"

The medicine boy who was originally fighting with crickets was immediately stunned. He actually got a copper coin after being slapped in the face?

What a job!

But when they met the shopkeeper's cold and angry eyes, they all lowered their heads.

The shopkeeper reached out and wiped the tea stains from his face. Just when he was about to get angry, he recognized Lin Ruoyou's identity.

His face stiffened, and he quickly said with a smile: "It turns out that my boss is here. Why didn't you inform me in advance? Can I go to greet you in advance?"

Lin Ruoyou looked at him mockingly: "How dare I work for you? The housekeeper I sent to receive the medicine hall was beaten to a bloody head by you. If I had told you in advance, you wouldn't have hired a few more thugs. , beat me to a cripple?"

The shopkeeper explained with a playful smile: "How can we? It's all a misunderstanding. We didn't hit Butler Zeng's head at all. Don't listen to his casual slander. The younger one was being polite to him. It was him who accidentally stepped on it and slipped." , fell over the threshold!”

Lin Ruoyou didn't believe his sophistry, so she said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense and hand over all the ledgers and inventory!"

The shopkeeper immediately said with a bitter face: "It's not that I don't pay, it's because of a rain leak that made the account book blurry and I can't see anything at all!"

Lin Ruoyou raised her lips sarcastically: "Really? That's really a pity!"

A look of pride flashed across the shopkeeper's face, and he knew that Miss Lin was a loser who didn't understand business. Even if her medical skills were better than those of the eldest lady, so what, she wasn't tricked by him.

He quickly put on a pitiful look and said: "To be honest, boss, if our medicine hall still wants to continue, we will need at least 5000 taels of silver to buy medicinal materials, otherwise, we will have to close down!"
