Chapter 217: Chapter 219 Can’t Wait?_1
The physicians at Deji Hall were highly skilled, with the young master being particularly remarkable with his magical hands, but countless people would die before ever stepping foot into Deji Hall.
Why? It all boiled down to silver!
"We truly intend to purchase medicine and will definitely pay for it," Tan Zhenghong said firmly yet humbly, immediately presenting himself with far more refinement than the apothecary’s assistant.
The assistant, unperturbed, retorted, "Do you think our Deji Hall is like Ren Xin Hall, satisfied with just a handful of wen money? We’re legitimate businessmen here, so don’t think about settling debts with something other than cash."
As he spoke, he cast a glance at Qiao Duo’er. The woman was quite attractive, what a pity that she was married to a mere villager.
Qiao Duo’er spoke slowly, "I just want to tell you five words, ’to look down on others with disdain.’"
No, calling him a dog would offend Fatty and Fat Fat.
Even though they’d been turned into mangy dogs, they were far more endearing than the man before her.
The assistant gnashed his teeth with anger, but the woman’s piercing gaze was as if she was flaying him alive; he couldn’t muster a single word in rebuttal.
This woman was fierce, and the man by her side, how pitiful!
The assistant mumbled to himself, and with that thought, his expression became even more scornful.
Meanwhile, inside Deji Hall stood two handsome men, one dressed in ice-blue silk embroidered with bamboo leaves, and the other in pure white, their complementary attire pleasing to the eye.
"Yi Fan, the attendants in your shop are lacking," the man in green said, raising an eyebrow.
"You flatter me," responded the man in white with a bow, readily accepting the fault without arguing.
The current state of Deji Hall was all about chasing profit, with not the slightest hint of their noble mission to save the world with their remedies.
Having said that, he strode towards the counter.
"Chen Lin, you mustn’t be rude," the man in white warned.
As cool and detached as always, he carried an air of authority that demanded respect without the need for anger.
The previously contemptuous Chen Lin quickly put on a different face: "Young master, what brings you here?"
That was their Young Master Bai Yifan, seen by everyone as too soft-hearted, completely unconcerned with the financial prospects of Deji Hall.
But since he was the young master and an extraordinary physician, they could only secretly complain in their hearts.
Bai Yifan ignored the attendant, turning his attention to Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong.
"My apologies for the offense, I hope you’ll forgive us."
With an indifferent tone, Qiao Duo’er said, "It doesn’t matter. We just walked into the wrong place and even interfered with your business."
Unwilling to entangle with these people any longer, she walked out of Deji Hall. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Hmph, this place isn’t worthy of being called a medical hall!
Upon leaving Deji Hall, Qiao Duo’er’s anger subsided, but she was still disheartened for not having gathered the Complete Herbal Medicines.
Why was it so difficult to share an intimate moment with Tan Zhenghong?
"Wife, if you already called him out for looking down on others, why bother with him anymore?"
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes, "Do I look petty to you? It’s not like Deji Hall’s downfall would affect me in any way."
So it wasn’t about being looked down upon, but about not having found all the medicines?
The slightly upset Tan Zhenghong instantly felt relieved. Hmm... he hadn’t expected his wife to be even more eager than him.
"Wife, knowing you’re so eager to be with me... makes me quite content. It’s okay, let’s just take things as they come," said Tan Zhenghong, secretly delighted.
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes again, "Dream on!"
Cough cough, even if he was spot on about her intentions, she wouldn’t admit it—it was just too embarrassing!
She certainly wasn’t desperate enough to make a move on Tan Zhenghong.
