The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

The next day, Shang Ruoyi went to the county town early in the morning. When Qian Niang saw her coming in person, she greeted her warmly: "Sister, why did you come here in person?"

"Of course, I have a business to discuss with my sister."

Upon hearing this, Qian Niang's eyes lit up: "Oh, sister likes to talk business with you. Sister is simply the God of Wealth. Ever since sister's strawberries entered my Tianxiangju, my business has been getting better and better. What kind of business is it today?"

"milk tea."

"Milk tea?" Qian Niang looked at Shang Ruoyi in confusion: "What is that?"

"It's a drink." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I mainly want my sister to help me promote it."

When Qian Niang heard her say this, she immediately reacted: "Of course."

"But I haven't bought a shop yet. Sister, can you help me find out if there is a shop for sale nearby?"

"There is a shop, but it costs a lot of silver!" Qian Niang looked at her and stretched out a finger: "The bigger shops here will cost about one thousand taels, and the smaller shops will cost between one hundred taels and several hundred taels. But this money should not be much for you." After all, selling strawberries every day is a considerable income.

"Sister, can you take me to have a look?"

Qian Niang readily agreed.

As soon as the two walked out the door, they heard a noisy sound coming from not far away.

"What's wrong with your clinic? It's obviously your medicine that has problems, but you still want to deny it?" An old woman put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "You still call it Jishiditang? I think it's a black-hearted clinic! Selling moldy herbs, my wife almost died from eating them! If you don't compensate me today, I will report you to the government! Let the great judge decide for me!"

The waiter at the clinic stood at the door and said with a bitter face: "Madam, we at Jishiditang have never sold moldy herbs. We are a century-old brand. How could we do such a thing?"

"Humph! Just because you say there is none, does that mean there is none? I don't agree with you! Call out your shopkeeper!" The old woman shouted, "You sold moldy herbs and you are hiding in here like a turtle?"

"Madam, our shopkeeper is out on a medical visit, why don't you come in and wait? If it's a problem with our herbs, we at Jishidi will never shirk responsibility." The boy was polite, but the woman didn't care. She waved the boy's hand away, pointed at his nose and said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to pull me in to silence me? I will sit in front of the door today and wait for your shopkeeper to come back and give me an explanation and compensate me, otherwise I will let everyone see what a black-hearted shop your Jishidi is!"

Qian Niang stood beside Shang Ruoyi, sighed and said, "This is the second time this month."

"what?"

"I don't know who this Jishiditang must have offended. People keep coming here to cause trouble. Although it was all a misunderstanding in the end, no shop can stand such a mess!"

Shang Ruoyi nodded. It seemed that Jishidiang had indeed offended some important person.

"Speaking of which, the shopkeeper of Jishiditang has done me a favor. Sister, please wait for a moment. I will go over and see if there is anything I can help with." Qian Niang walked towards the crowd.

Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi also walked up.

Just then, a carriage stopped and a man in a brown coat got out. Behind him, a servant was carrying a medicine box and walking through the crowd, looking exhausted.

"Shopkeeper Xiao is here!" Someone in the crowd shouted. When the woman heard it, she walked straight up to Shopkeeper Xiao, grabbed his collar and shouted, "You black-hearted doctor! You sold moldy herbs just to make money. I'll beat you to death!"

Shopkeeper Xiao frowned, looking helpless: "Madam, please don't get excited. There is absolutely no problem with the herbs in our Jishiditang."

Before he could finish, the woman shouted, "What do you mean by no problem? Do you mean I'm lying?"

Qian Niang stepped forward and consoled her, "Auntie, Jishidiang's medical products are very famous throughout our county, you..."

Before she could finish, the woman seemed to have found a vent for her anger and said to Qian Niang, "Don't pretend to be a good person here. Look at yourself, wearing all kinds of red and green. You must have come from a brothel! You don't look like a good person at first glance!"

Hearing her say this, the onlookers couldn't help but gasp. Who is Qian Niang? Tianxiangju is the best in the whole county, and Qian Niang, as the shopkeeper of Tianxiangju, is even more so. Now, this old woman is so rude. If she is really annoyed, this old woman will probably have no good results.

Qian Niang's face darkened. At this time, Shang Ruoyi came out with a sneer: "I see that you are so aggressive, you don't look like a good person!"

The old woman only heard her voice, turned her head and asked sternly, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you keep saying that Jishidiang sold you moldy herbs. Why don't you show me some evidence? Otherwise, how can you just talk back at me?"

"That's right, isn't this slander?" Most of the onlookers were patients of Jishidiang. They knew what kind of person Manager Xiao was, so they didn't quite believe that Jishidiang would do such a thing.

When the woman heard Shang Ruoyi say this, she put her hands on her waist and said, "I have already endured the herb, how can I get you the evidence?"

"Since you've already survived, how did you know that the herb was moldy?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Could it be that you discovered it before you cooked the medicine, and didn't think of taking the medicine at that time, but instead drank the medicine and came here to blackmail people? Do you think everyone is a fool?"

When the old woman heard this, her face turned pale for a moment, but soon returned to normal and she said angrily: "I don't know what you are talking about. Anyway, they sold moldy herbs in Jishiditang and almost killed someone. If they don't compensate me, I will not leave today!"

At this point, what would anyone with a discerning eye not know? This is clearly an attempt to blackmail people.

At this moment, a thin man walked in through the crowd. Seeing the old woman sitting on the ground and making a scene, his face flushed and he quickly walked up to her: "Mom, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you that Dad's illness has nothing to do with Jishidiang? Why are you still making trouble here?"

The old woman glared at him and said, "How can it be unrelated? Your father fainted because he drank their medicine. Get out of here, you unfilial son. We don't have a son like you! If it weren't for you, would your father have gotten sick?"

When the man heard her say this, he whispered, "Mom, please come home with me and stop making trouble here."
