"I think Miss Ruan could also open a rouge shop."
Ruan Mian’s eyebrows moved slightly; since she was the Princess Consort of Mantu, the matter of the shop...
Just as she was pondering, a burst of rude voices suddenly ca from outside.
"In this garrison city, there’s only our Wang Brothers’ pharmacy. You open one out of nowhere, did you inform us?"
Manager Gu imdiately spoke up, "Oh, Mr. Wang, when a shop opens, it’s never been heard that we need to inform the peers. Besides, our shops are far apart and don’t affect each other."
"Far apart?? Pah!! Aren’t you just trying to cut off our financial road?!"
"Moreover, you have so many rare dicinal herbs. Where did these co from? We’ve had our shop in the garrison for more than ten years, and we don’t have as much as you do. Isn’t it possible you got them from so unspeakable channels?"
"What if soone eats it and dies, can you take responsibility?"
Wang the Second’s voice was boisterous. As he stood at the door, he began shouting at the people outside.
"Everyone, co and have a look, they have many rare and precious dicinal herbs in their shop. We’ve been running a pharmacy for over ten years, and it’s hard to co by these goods. Even if available, the costs like transportation and tolls make the prices very expensive! And yet they sell herbs at such low prices, do you dare consu them?"
Wang the Elder quickly chid in, "That’s right! If these herbs are counterfeit, at best you’ll get sick, at worst... it could cost lives!"
Upon hearing this, the onlookers were shocked.
Manager Gu glanced at Ruan Mian, who slowly stepped forward with a calm expression.
"Mr. Wang, you say these herbs are low-priced? But I’ve heard this is just the usual price elsewhere."
"But you, you took advantage of the mutiny at the Wuheng border to arbitrarily raise dicine prices, how many people were delayed in treatnt because of this?"
Just then, the elder aunt returned and, seeing the scene, got angry.
She rushed to Wang the Elder and began cursing him, pointing at his nose.
"You heartless bunch, we good citizens are working for the welfare of the people, providing free consultations and dicinal als, all to prevent people from suffering from ailnts!!"
"This shop operates on small profits but sells more, with extensive channels. You can’t get precious herbs, but that’s your incompetence! Now that you see us hindering your profits from people’s suffering, you want to target us? Don’t even think about it!"
The Wang Brothers had always been bullies in the garrison city but now were being cursed by this woman, whom they couldn’t stand at all.
They imdiately got angry and shouted out!
"Co on! These outsiders, under the guise of selling herbs at low prices, are disrupting the rules and suspected of selling fake dicines! Even if the Jade Emperor ca today, I’d have to smash your black-hearted shop! Get moving!"
Manager Gu heard this and hurried forward, becoming bold himself at this mont.
"Mr. Wang! You can’t speak carelessly, without any evidence you want to smash the shop? We have distinguished guests here, do you really want to provoke them?"
"Distinguished guests? Pah! Even if Prince Mantu were here, I’d smash it without hesitation!"
This clamorous voice reached the ears of the Princess Consort.
Her elegant brows furrowed fiercely and her eyes imdiately darkened.
She straightened up and walked into the shop, scolding them, "Stop now! In broad daylight, how dare you act so outrageously?!"
Mr. Wang, seeing this unfamiliar woman who dressed plainly, thought she was a fellow of Ruan Zi.
With a face full of disdain, he sneered.
"And what are you, daring to shout at here?" After saying that, Wang the Elder raised his hand to slap her.
Wang the Second intercepted him, eyeing the woman lecherously.
"You’re quite a voluptuous woman, fragrant too, I do like you. Na your price, let take you into my estate as my concubine, what do you think? You’ll live in luxury..."
Before he finished speaking, he got a harsh slap from the woman, making his mustache skew.
Wang the Second looked in disbelief, eyes wide, "You wretched woman, such audacity! How dare you slap ?"
To the side, Ruan Mian couldn’t help but sweat for him.
Seeing the situation, Ruan Mian realized that these bullies wouldn’t leave anyti soon.
She was surprised by the Wang Brothers’ arrogance, no wonder theirs was the only pharmacy in the garrison city,
She called her elder aunt over, and as they spoke, Wang the Second was about to pounce on the Princess Consort.
Seeing this, Ruan Mian imdiately stood in front of the Princess Consort, "Watch out!"
She was pulled by Wang the Second, but Ruan Mian coldly turned and fiercely kicked him in the crotch!
Instantly, Wang the Second clutched his lower body, veins bulging from the pain!
Ruan Mian protected the Princess Consort behind her, even the Princess Consort was surprised: "In broad daylight, he’s so arrogant and domineering, completely disregarding others!!"
"The garrison city is not beyond the law, they..."
Before she could finish, the elder aunt began crying loudly at the door.
"Master, have rcy! You can’t do this, our shop just didn’t inform you in advance before opening, but it’s not enough for you to smash our store!"
"We’ve not even started business properly, opened for only a few days, always providing free consultations and dicinal als. You unreasonably smash our shop, how can the ten plus people of our shop survive?"
Her bawling attracted many passersby.
Many had received dicinal als and free consultations before, and seeing the perfectly good shop being smashed by a group, they sighed deeply!
"These people are so despicable!!! This Ruan has diligently opened her shop, what did she do to provoke them?"
"Hurry up and find soone to report it! We can’t let them bully like this!"
"Brother, you mustn’t report it. Do you know who the one smashing this shop is?"
"It’s Mr. Wang the Elder and Mr. Wang the Second; they said the shop sells many precious herbs. I think Mr. Wang got one thing right; the Wang Family has run a pharmacy in the garrison for so many years without transporting so much good dicine, it shows it’s difficult."
"But this lady isn’t from the garrison city, suddenly with so much good dicine, who knows if she’s selling dog at under the guise of mutton."
The elder aunt, hearing these gossips, cried even more vigorously!
"Mr. Wang, we’re just won, we can’t resist you, but you can’t turn white into black!"
"You don’t have precious herbs because you won’t spend the silver to transport them, and you sell other dicines so expensively just because there’s no other pharmacy in the city, right!? Now that we’ve opened, you treat us as enemies, sar us in every way, is there no justice?! Under heaven! How can the common people be your fish and at!"
These words reached the ears of the Princess Consort as well.
She looked at Ruan Mian and asked her, "Is what your aunt said true? Are their dicines really sold at such high prices?"
Ruan Mian was also looking helpless and miserable at this mont.
