Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Nangong Lingfei’s Sche (1)_1 Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Nangong Lingfei’s Sche (1)_1 Nangong Lingfei looked montarily perplexed, “Uncle Shi should know that I don’t have any fine dicinal herbs to offer you.”
“The herbs from Nangong Mansion can’t compare to the Luo family’s in quantity or quality, can they? Do I even need you to send herbs?” Doctor Luo said irritably.
“Please, Uncle Shi, just tell what you want.”
“Of course I want whatever Nangong Mansion has the most of.” As the wealthiest family in Dong Chu, Nangong Mansion naturally had the most silver.
The corners of Nangong Lingfei’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, then he ordered Shopkeeper Lin to bring over one thousand taels of silver notes, which Nangong Lingfei handed to Doctor Luo, “Since when has Uncle Shi started caring about worldly possessions?” His tone brimd with mockery and surprise, for, aside from dicine and dical skill, Uncle Shi had never cared for anything else.
“Whether I care or not is none of your business.” Doctor Luo glared at Nangong Lingfei, “And when did you beco so stingy? You should know that just now I…”
“Shopkeeper Lin, bring another two thousand taels of silver notes!” Nangong Lingfei stuffed the three thousand taels of silver notes in Doctor Luo’s hands, “Is that enough now?”
Doctor Luo pocketed the silver notes and promptly gestured for the quietly waiting Yang ngchen siblings to prepare to leave.
But Nangong Lingfei stepped swiftly in front of them, “Uncle Shi hasn’t introduced this young lady yet?” While he was asking Doctor Luo, his gaze was fixed on Yang ngchen.
Doctor Luo pulled Yang ngchen behind him, blocking her from Nangong Lingfei’s view, and said fiercely, “Who she is doesn’t concern you. Don’t even think about laying your hands on her, or else don’t bla for not taking into account Ye Lin’s (Nangong Lingfei’s father) old friendship!” With that, he hurried away with Yang ngchen.
The three Yang Chengrong brothers naturally followed closely behind.
Watching Yang ngchen’s retreating figure, Nangong Lingfei’s eyes shone with the sharp keenness of a hunter eyeing his prey, his lips curling into a smirk that was neither entirely a smile nor a sneer.
He had seen clearly that Uncle Shi had no way of treating the man; it was the young lady who secretly wrote a ssage on Uncle Shi’s palm. It was after this that Uncle Shi had asked for saltwater to be given to the man to drink. Afterwards, Uncle Shi had also applied needles to the acupoints the young lady had ntioned, thus relieving the man’s poison. In the end, it was the young lady who revealed the cause and the man’s condition.
As for the pills the young lady had ntioned, he believed they must have co from her hands, for if Uncle Shi had truly developed them, he would definitely have made them known to all and not kept them secret as he was doing now.
It seed the young lady’s dical skills might indeed surpass Uncle Shi’s, but he needed further confirmation. After all, it concerned Ziyu’s life, and he had to be extrely cautious.
Fortunately, Uncle Shi appeared to be on good terms with the young lady, and with Jingrui arriving here tomorrow, Jingrui could probe further.
“Shopkeeper Lin, take that worker to a private room. I, your young master, have so questions for him.”
Doctor Luo’s brow remained furrowed, and his face was as dark as ink until they returned to the second floor of Apricot Forest Hall.
After pouring a cup of tea, Yang ngchen offered it to Doctor Luo, “Uncle Luo, please have so tea.”
Hearing Yang ngchen’s voice, Doctor Luo, who had co to his senses, took the teacup. Seeing her worried look, he felt a warmth in his heart, “Little girl, did I frighten you just now?”
“No.” Yang ngchen shook her head, “I know Uncle Luo is troubled, but brooding over it is ultimately bad for your health. You should relax, as everything will eventually be resolved, won’t it?”
Doctor Luo sighed, “I know that young man destroyed my dicine lodge in a mont of impulsiveness for Yuyu’s sake. It’s just that every ti I see that young man, I get angry… Ah, let’s not talk about this anymore. By the way, little girl, take these silver notes.” He took out the three thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to Yang ngchen.
“This is Drunken Immortal Tavern’s paynt to Uncle Luo, I can’t accept it.” Yang ngchen refused with a wave of her hand.
The three Yang Chengrong brothers also declined.
