The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag&#

He was worried that if there was a shortage of medicinal materials and there were so many people waiting to get medicine in the clinic, there would be a great possibility of greater chaos.

The most important thing is that he has already stood on the side of the lady in what happened just now and has severely offended Manager Zhong.

If my wife can't have the final say, I will probably have to leave as well.

"Regarding the matter of those rotten herbs being cleared away, does Zhong Huai know about it?"

The servant shook his head. "As soon as Manager Zhong arrived this morning, he started to have people consult for free. He is not aware of these things."

"Do you have a record of the remaining intact herbs?"

"Yes, I have classified the types, effects and quantities of these herbs. If you want to see them, I will go get them right away."

"Put it away first."

Ye Qingluo chuckled and looked at the person beside him with more appreciation, "What's your name?"

"My name is Li Er."

"I remember."

Ye Qingluo lowered her eyes and continued to flip through the account book. Li Er was a little confused and didn't quite understand what the lady meant.

He asked tentatively, "Madam, about the medicinal materials..."

"As you just said, free clinics were proposed by Zhong Huai. Although the treatment is free, the amount of medicinal materials has been reduced and they are consumables."

"Besides, the money the clinic earned today won't go into his pocket. Do you understand?"

Li Er was stunned, carefully pondering Ye Qingluo's meaning, and asked for confirmation, "Madam, you mean that if the medicinal materials are consumed or insufficient, the free clinic was initiated by Shopkeeper Zhong, so he should be fully responsible, right?"

Ye Qingluo nodded, agreeing with what he said. Don’t these people like to do good deeds and accumulate virtue? Then they must see it through to the end.

"Go and take care of the cost of buying medicinal herbs for the people today. Watch out, if anyone has any complaints, let them come to me."

Li Er was very excited and responded repeatedly. In the past, Manager Zhong had always acted superior, but now it was time for him to experience the consequences of his own actions.

I have to say that the lady is really smart. The people are not allowed to use the money they use to buy medicinal materials. And because of the shortage of medicinal materials, the people cannot get the medicine. At that time, Manager Zhong will have to pay out of his own pocket.

This way, there will be some fun to watch.

"What are you still standing for?"

"I'll do it right away!"

After Li Er responded, he walked out quickly. Ye Qingluo looked at his figure and said, "He is quite clever."

Just an account book...

The more Ye Qingluo flipped through the pages, the more he felt something was wrong. The profits and expenses did not match up at all, and it could even be said that they had nothing to do with each other.

The most outrageous thing is that there is not even a hundred taels in the medical clinic’s account.

Whenever he needed to purchase medicinal herbs or make other expenses, Zhong Huai would again ask the original owner for money in the name of the old lady.

As for the actual profit, it goes into their own pockets.

It must be said that Zhong Huai really had a good plan, and the original owner...

In order to avoid conflict with Old Madam Chu, and considering that she had brought a dowry of 50,000 taels, she chose to keep the peace.

Otherwise, the current situation would not have happened. Fortunately, Zhong Huai came back on his own initiative, otherwise all that money would have been wasted again.

The old lady and Chu Beiyu were so insistent on keeping Zhong Huai, so naturally they would have a share of the lost money.

What needs to be spit out cannot be left out!

Zhong Huai felt relieved when he saw that Ye Qingluo had only entered the innermost room, which was usually used for rest.

Even if the shop belongs to the lady, so what? As long as he is in the clinic, he has the final say here!

Just then, there was a quarrel outside. Zhong Huai walked over and saw a lot of people gathered around the place where medicine was dispensed. He understood the cause when he got closer.

"What did you say? I spent a lot of money to buy the herbs, and now you tell me they are gone?"

"Doctor Wang, I told Doctor Liu that the herbs on the prescription are only available here, and now they are suddenly gone. Are you trying to harm me?"

The middle-aged man in the lead got angry at the guy who was dispensing medicine, and the people waiting for medicine behind him also echoed him.

"How is this going?"

When the waiter saw Zhong Huai, he felt like he had seen a savior, and he kept saying, "Boss Zhong, you are here. I just counted the herbs and found that the herbs written on the prescription are not enough."

"How can it not be enough? Didn't I say before..."

Zhong Huai's face changed drastically. Perhaps he was worried that someone might hear him, so he pulled the waiter to a corner and said in a low voice, "I'm not saying that we shouldn't use such good herbs. It's better to mix the rotten ones in. They can't tell anyway."

“But those things have been thrown away.”

"Throw it away?" Zhong Huai's eyes widened, and he was furious. "Who told you to do this?"

"Yes, madam..."

Madam! Madam! Madam again!

Zhong Huai was so angry that he jumped up and down. The waiter took the opportunity to ask, "Boss Zhong, what should we do now?"

You ask me what to do?!

Zhong Huai gritted his teeth as he watched the people who came to get medicine all gathered here. More and more people came in for the free clinic. However, he had specifically negotiated with the doctors for this free clinic, asking them to use the most expensive medicinal materials, and had deceived them into believing that only those in their clinic would be effective.

If he tells them now that the medicine is sold out and they can go to another clinic to buy it, Huiyuantang in the next street will oppose him in every way, and who knows what trouble will happen.

"Hurry up and get a few people to buy it, then exaggerate the effects of the herbs and sell them at a high price!"

"What about the silver..." the waiter asked weakly, Zhong Huai wanted to punch him, "Hasn't he already taken the silver from those people who bought the herbs?"

"But Li Er just said that he is in charge of the statistics, and all the silver is under his control."

"Madam is inside. From what I saw yesterday, she seems to understand some pharmacology, and Li Er..."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Er had already sided with his wife.

"Manager Zhong, are you sure you want to do this?"

Zhong Huai tried hard to suppress his anger. It was okay for his madam, but how could an insignificant person like Li Er dare to go against him?

But no matter what, Ye Qingluo is still the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. If the fact that he made huge profits by using rotten and moldy medicinal materials were to be known by others and spread to the old lady, something big would probably happen.

What's more, considering the lady's current attitude, Manager Zhong felt a little scared when he thought of the way Ye Qingluo looked at him when she came.

He gritted his teeth and handed over a fine jade pendant, "Take it to the pawn shop to exchange for some silver and replenish all the missing medicinal materials."

"I'm afraid this piece is not enough..."

The waiter took a step back, fearing that the shopkeeper Zhong would "eat" him in the next second.

Shopkeeper Zhong took a deep breath and finally took out all the valuables on him.

"Go quickly!"

You are such a good guy, Li Er, you actually dare to turn your elbow outward, just wait and see how I will deal with you next!

Shopkeeper Zhong felt pained at the thought of having to take those items away, as some of those items were made of the best materials in the capital.

After that, he would definitely raise the price of these herbs to five times, no! Ten times!

As for the money he earned today... he would use it to spend a good time with Miss Jiang from Chunhua Pavilion to make up for the "hurt" he suffered today!
