"Are you Mr. Dai's grand-disciple? Your name is Su Luo?"

The old butler, Huang Zhong, dressed in an elegant suit, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, held the visiting card with two fingers, looked it over with disdain, and asked in a contemptuous tone.

In Huang Zhong's eyes, the simply dressed Su Luo was like a carrier of bacteria, and he was afraid that she would come in and dirty the floor.

Su Luo nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Yes, my grandmaster is Dai Changsheng, and I am Su Luo."

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and inform Madam first."

Huang Zhong looked Su Luo up and down, then closed the massive gate in front of her.

In general, distinguished guests drive directly into the garage and follow the host into the house, or the host gives prior notice and has the servants greet them in the garage. The gate on the roadside is practically just for show.

In such a luxurious location, such an expensive gate is very eye-catching, and many people take pictures next to it.

The gate and walls of the Qiao family's residence are particularly eye-catching; they are flower walls, especially beautiful during the flowering season. They were nobles living in a castle.

Su Luo waited quietly outside the door.

Huang Zhong closed the door, took the visiting card, and walked across the courtyard toward the main building.

The current matriarch of the Qiao family is surnamed Wen and named Wen Fanghui. She is over fifty years old and is very well-maintained, with a rosy complexion and gentle features. She is arranging flowers.

“Madam, an old guest has come to visit. It’s the granddaughter of Master Dai’s apprentice. I guess she needs your help with something. Master Dai saved our ancestor’s traditional Chinese medicine practice years ago. Our ancestor offered him money, but he refused, remembering the kindness. No matter when, whenever Master Dai visits with a token, he will repay the favor. Our ancestor has passed away for many years, and Master Dai has also passed away… Now…”

Huang Zhong reported in detail that everyone said that when a person dies, everything is scattered. The Qiao family could not ignore the fact that Old Master Dai had come in person to ask for repayment of his kindness, but the old man had already passed away.

Even if the Qiao family doesn't acknowledge or repay this kindness, Su Luo has no choice but to go back.

If Su Luo dares to tarnish the Qiao family's reputation, the Qiao family can make her suffer without lifting a finger.

Wen Fanghui understood what Huang Zhong hadn't finished saying. Without stopping her flower arranging, she said calmly, "They're all outside the gate, and there are plenty of eyes watching. Let's invite them in. If they don't ask for much, just meet their demands. If they ask for too much, our Qiao family will be in the right to kick them out."

"What does that Su Luo look like?"

Wen Fanghui paused for a moment. Years ago, her daughter wanted to learn medicine from Dai Ping'an, but Dai Ping'an refused to take her as a disciple. Later, Dai Xiaoyu died, and Dai Ping'an was punished for it. He went crazy for many years, and finally, after a few years of sobriety, he took on a grand-disciple.

Wen Fanghui still felt somewhat displeased when recalling the past. If Dai Ping'an's spirit in heaven saw his grand-disciple begging her for help, he would probably feel utterly humiliated.

"She looks a bit stingy, but she's pretty. I guess she's the kind of person who takes advantage of others."

Huang Zhong thought for a moment and said with a hint of disdain.

Regardless of whether Su Luo is good or bad, he cannot say that Su Luo is good in front of Wen Fanghui.

Wen Fanghui laughed upon hearing this: "Let her come in, have her change her shoes, and disinfect them properly."

Regardless of whether Huang Zhong's words were true or false, she was happy to hear them.

Back then, Dai Ping'an refused to teach her daughter, but now her daughter has become a doctor.

Huang Zhong nodded, turned around and left.

Huang Zhong opened the door, and Su Luo was still standing outside waiting.

Huang Zhong said calmly, "Madam wants you to come into the main hall to talk. Please come in."

"Madam is a germaphobe, please change your shoes outside and disinfect them before coming in with me."

Huang Zhong said this and walked ahead.

Su Luo carried a small shoulder bag and followed Huang Zhong inside without saying a word. She was told to change her shoes and wash her hands, and she went about her business with the Qiao family's servants.

Huang Zhong watched indifferently, wanting Su Luo to know the Qiao family's high status, but he was somewhat surprised to see that Su Luo wasn't angry at all.

Girls of this age generally have strong self-esteem, especially with the new education and new ideas nowadays, they can endure being tormented like this.

When Su Luo finally saw Wen Fanghui, Su Luo's expression did not change. Wen Fanghui pretended to be focused on arranging flowers and did not know that Su Luo had arrived, so she deliberately left her hanging.

Su Luo waited quietly, without being impatient or agitated.

Wen Fanghui finally finished arranging the flowers. She turned around and pretended to be a little angry: "What are you all doing? You didn't even remind me when the guests came!"

The servants all bowed their heads.

Huang Zhong immediately said something nice: "Madam, don't be angry. I saw that Miss Su was looking at it very seriously, and I thought she was admiring your flower arrangement."

"Serve tea."

Wen Fanghui waved her hand and then smiled at Su Luo, saying, "I just love tending to flowers and plants. Once I start, I get so engrossed that I don't even notice what's around me."

"Back then, your grandfather cured our old man, but he refused to accept the money we offered him. Our Qiao family has always remembered this kindness. You must be in trouble this time. Don't worry, just name your price, and we will definitely repay this favor."

Wen Fanghui smiled and spoke quite frankly.

Name an amount, take the money, repay the debt, and we'll be even.

“Mrs. Qiao is a generous and respectable person. When my grandfather was alive, he told me that if someone owed him something, he could repay them with something of equal value. I am his granddaughter, and he passed on everything to me. I was worried that Mrs. Qiao would deny being a deadbeat, but now I am completely at ease.”

Su Luo smiled slightly and said that over the years, she had also learned how to be a hermaphrodite.

The Qiao family was indeed of high status, so she went along with them and elevated the Qiao family to a high position.

"Hehe, our Qiao family values ​​loyalty and integrity the most."

Wen Fanghui's smile froze a little. She thought Su Luo was an easy target, but she didn't expect her to be so sarcastic.

What do you mean by "debt defaulter"? That sounds so awful.

"Tell me what you want."

Wen Fanghui had no time to waste with Su Luo and asked directly.

"I don't want money, I want two kinds of medicinal herbs, one is a 200-year-old wild ginseng, and the other is blood lingzhi."

Su Luo spoke up directly, and after she finished speaking, she added to Wen Fanghui's frozen smile: "Grandpa saved the life of the Qiao family elder back then. Human life is priceless. Grandpa also told me that I must never ask the Qiao family for a single penny. As practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, what we need most is medicinal herbs. I just happened to hear that these medicinal herbs had fallen into the hands of the Qiao family, so I came here to ask for the herbs out of gratitude."

Su Luo laid everything out in the open and made it clear to Wen Fanghui that since she had come, she knew the goods had arrived at the Qiao family, and that she was obviously trying to blackmail them for a favor.

Wen Fanghui's smile froze completely. She gripped the leather sofa tightly with her hands and said through gritted teeth, "I didn't expect you to be so well-informed."

Dai Ping'an has excellent medical skills and an incredible network of connections. Su Luo actually inherited all of Dai Ping'an's connections. If this matter is not handled properly and gets out, the Qiao family's reputation will definitely suffer.

But Su Luo is too ambitious. She just blurts out "treasure." Does she even understand the principle that gold has a price but a good treasure is priceless?
