Chapter 269: Madam is Seriously Ill (2/2)

The boy stood on tiptoe and looked toward Chu Chenyin's shop. He was also surprised to see the piles of white rice.

"What's going on? I remember we moved all the things in the warehouse." Xiaodian said in disbelief.

Chu Chenyin looked at them from a distance and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Shi, why don't you open your shop today? Look, our shop is packed with people."

Lord Shi's face turned pale, his hands clenched into fists, and anger shone from his big nostrils. "We'll take a break today, so you don't need to worry about it."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the yamen.

Not long after, the government officials came to Shi's house, and after checking, they found nothing. In the end, they returned empty-handed. Not only did they fail to help Lord Shi recover the rice, they also took some benefits from him.

Shi's shop would probably be closed for several months.

They had no intention of dealing with Chu Chenyin's rice shop and were thinking about how to catch the thief every day.

Chu Chen enjoyed his music leisurely and no one came to cause trouble for him.

As the days passed, news soon came from the palace that Madam Yan was pregnant.

However, Mrs. Yan has been ill since she became pregnant, which makes Master Wan very anxious.

Young Master Wan was helpless and could only post notices everywhere, promising a reward of a thousand gold coins to anyone who could cure Madam Yan.

However, when this list was released, no one dared to take it.

Saving the life of the patient could earn you a fortune, but failing to do so could cost a life.

Another half month passed and Mrs. Yan began to show signs of miscarriage.

Young Master Wan was worried about Madam Yan, and his hair turned white overnight.

At this time, Madam Yan said, "Your Majesty, would you like to ask the owner of the sachet shop on the street to treat my illness?"

"She told me last time she came that she knew some medical skills."

When Master Wan heard this, he immediately became hopeful. "How is her medical skill?"

Madam Yan's face was pale, and she said weakly, "The medical skills are OK."

Master Wan covered her with the quilt, stood up hastily and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask her to come over now."

Mrs. Yan nodded.

Young Master Wan came in person to invite him, and Chu Chenyin was just about to close the door of the shop.

Without saying a word, he took her into the palace.

Fu Yanting arrived in time.

Young Master Wan realized that he had been rude and quickly explained the reason.

Chu Chenyin replied sternly: "My medical skills are average, but I don't know if I can save Madam Yan." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
