The Regent Princess has run away again
Chapter 28 It is impossible to suffer a loss
I hadn't even entered the pharmacy yet, and I didn't know who had informed me in advance.
The head shopkeeper, who seldom showed up, was standing outside the door with a smile on his face, and he almost hung a banner to warmly welcome her.
"Miss Xue, what brings you here today?"
"Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper? How come you have time to welcome idlers like me?" Xue Zhiyu replied with a wry smile. It was definitely not a good thing that was going to happen.
As expected, after she finished speaking, the head shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said in a flattering manner, "I would like to discuss the matter of the small pill with Miss Xue. I have asked the medicine boy to clean up the inner room and prepare the tea."
It seems that this is a must. People have taken so much pains to go there. Xue Zhiyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Then please lead the way, shopkeeper."
"this way please."
After entering the inner room and sitting down, the head shopkeeper wanted to say a few polite words, but Xue Zhiyu said impatiently, "Shopkeeper, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't say nice things."
"Hahahaha, Miss Xue is indeed different. Then I might as well say it directly. I want to discuss the little pill with Miss Xue. I wonder if Miss Xue can hand over the prescription to us, and we can split the money we get 50-50. How about it?"
Oh, this is a blatant attempt to steal her job. It's a pity that this old man can say that. And it's 50-50. 30-70 isn't too much!
"Oh, how dare you say that, shopkeeper? My prescription is rare in a thousand years, how can you say it's fifty-fifty? In my opinion... you get three and I get seven."
The head shopkeeper's face turned red as a pig, "You!!! You are going too far!!"
Xue Zhiyu's expression was full of sarcasm. She looked at the shopkeeper up and down as if she was looking at an ancient wonder. "It's really funny what you said. How can you go too far? Shopkeeper, this is my prescription. Why does it taste so bad in your mouth? If that's the case, then we can't continue the discussion."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to go out. Just as Xue Zhiyu took a few steps out the door, she was stopped by the shopkeeper behind her.
The shopkeeper's face turned pale and blue, his eyes were full of confusion, and every word was squeezed out from between his teeth. You could hear how much he gritted his teeth, "Okay... 37 is 37. I wonder when Miss Xue will be free to make it happen."
If a few noble ladies hadn't pressed him for it and threatened to take over his pharmacy, he would have had no choice but to agree.
"Let's talk when I'm free. I have something to do now..."
At this point, Xue Zhiyu paused for a moment, then continued, "I just need to get some medicine. I only need to get ten doses according to this prescription. As for the silver, you can go to the government office to find Lord Xu."
As soon as Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she took out a prescription from her sleeve and handed it over.
After the shopkeeper took it and read the entire prescription, his eyes widened. This... this prescription... is really wonderful! Although the use of the medicine is bold, I have to admit that the medicine is really used accurately.
"Excuse me, Miss Xue, what is the prescription?"
"Just get the medicine. Someone will come to get it when the time comes. Oh, and remember to keep the prescription for me."
The head shopkeeper was now concentrating on studying the prescription, and didn't care what Xue Zhiyu said. He just agreed blindly.
The pharmacist in charge of reception smiled apologetically, sent the master and servant out, and then turned around and walked back into the pharmacy.
Xiao Qiu frowned, and seeing the shopkeeper still looking at the prescription in a daze, she couldn't help but whisper behind her, "Miss, are you confident in handing over the prescription now?"
Xue Zhiyu's lips curled up slightly with a smile, and she looked up at the three big gold-plated characters "Miaoshoutang" above the medicine shop, "Xiaoqiu, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them."
Xiaoqiu said "oh" as if she understood something, and she found that since the young lady woke up, she was really smarter than before and would not be bullied anymore. She couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
After the master and servant finished their work, they took a walk outside, had lunch outside, and then walked around a few more times.
The sky soon set in the west. Xiao Qiu was very anxious and said again, "Miss, it's getting late. You should go back home."
"Why are you in such a hurry? The lights haven't even come on yet. Let's walk around for a while."
Xue Zhiyu was really not in a hurry. After all, she had not taken a good look at the ancient streets. Others would encounter the male protagonist by chance after traveling through, but for her, there were a lot of trivial things to deal with and she was exhausted. Thinking about the task given by that crappy emperor, she even wanted to kill someone.
"Miss, please come back home as soon as possible, you..." Xiao Qiu was so anxious that she was about to cry. She had never been outside the mansion at this time before. There were so many people at night, and she was following the young lady. It would be a big deal if something happened to her, but if the young lady was implicated, how would she explain herself!
"I know, I know. I'll go back home now," Xue Zhiyu rubbed her ears unhappily. Although she was still a little reluctant, she still went back home obediently.
As they walked back, Xiao Qiu kept chattering behind them, as if she had an infinitely repeating little loudspeaker, so Xue Zhiyu had no choice but to make all kinds of promises.
".....Master? What's wrong?"
The servant beside him looked at the man who had stopped in confusion, and looked in the direction of his gaze, but did not see anyone familiar.
"Nothing, I got the wrong person," although he said this, there was a hint of smile between the man's brows. He withdrew his gaze, turned around and left.
The servant looked left and right, scratched his head and hurriedly followed, still not knowing whether his master was laughing or was he laughing from the bottom of his heart.
When they arrived at the Xue Mansion, the news that Xue Zhiyu had returned was passed on.
Madam Xue, who led the way, had a stern face and looked impartial. "Who allowed you to come back so late? An unmarried woman should come back before sunset, and she should also inform me. Not only did you not tell me, but you also came back late. Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"
Xue Yulu kindly advised, "Sister Zhiyu, you are the same. Coming back so late makes mother worry about you. I know you like to play, but you should also tell mother. After all, mother is our elder. Don't do this next time."
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the servants behind her changed, full of shame and contempt, as if she had really done something shameful.
"You have finished talking, right? Now it's my turn. First of all, I went out to do something ordered by His Majesty, and mother put such a hat on me without asking. My mother has confirmed the name of being unfilial. And you too!" Xue Zhiyu was not afraid at all. Instead, she straightened her back, looked at Xue Yulu and continued.
"You sound like you're trying to persuade me, but you're actually accusing me of being a playful person. This reputation of being a playful person is nothing more than an accusation that I'm a playful person who doesn't care about my family. I was wondering why everyone is so 'enthusiastic' today. Aren't you usually in your own rooms? I didn't expect you to be gathered together just for me. It's really rare."
No matter how ugly Mrs. Xue's expression was, she took Xiao Qiu in after she finished speaking.
After walking a distance away, Xiao Qiu looked at Xue Zhiyu with admiration, "Miss, you were really amazing just now. Although it's not good to offend Madam Xue, it's worth it to see how aggrieved she is. It's her fault that she had a stomachache."
Seeing Xiaoqiu's angry face, Xue Zhiyu smiled without saying anything. It seemed that things would not be peaceful after today.
Inside the house, Madam Xue was so angry that she smashed things around again. The maid who was serving her didn't dare to get close. Xue Yumei, who was standing outside the door, saw a faint light in her eyes, and she waited until the house became a little quieter before she walked in.
Mrs. Xue sat in a chair in a slightly embarrassed manner, her expression still a little dazed. When she saw that the person coming was Xue Yumei, she spoke weakly, "Yumei, you are here."
"I asked someone about it, and it turns out that bitch really was recognized by His Majesty. Do you know what it is?"
Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said nothing.
"It's about the Stone Street matter. His Majesty asked her to complete it."
"You mean..."
"We have to help her," Xue Yumei said slowly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Xue almost wanted to jump up, her eyes full of disbelief, "What did you say?! Why should I help that little bitch, she..."
"Mother!! Listen to me, on the surface we are helping her, but in reality we are helping ourselves. Although on the surface she will be punished if she fails to complete the task, His Majesty has long been dissatisfied with our Xue Mansion and will definitely take advantage of this mistake to punish us, but we must not let her have it so easy, so..."
Over there, Xue Zhiyu started to feel sleepy after taking a bath. Without waiting for Xiaoqiu to urge her, she quickly climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.
