"Wait for me!" Brother Shen glanced at Yan Bao and strode away.

The shopkeeper weighed the purse and found about thirty-four taels of silver, but the person was here and he definitely couldn't run away.

Five thousand is not a small amount.

Only these great victims can bring it out.

However, the medicinal material is indeed precious, otherwise it would cost more than five thousand taels, and ordinary people would not be able to use it at all.

"So the girl knows Mr. Shen. I would have sold it to her on credit earlier!" The shopkeeper said after the fact.

Xu Zhimo didn't say anything. She held Yan Bao's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Your brother will be here soon. Now follow me. I will buy you something delicious. What do you want to eat?"

Yan Bao shook his head: [I don’t want to buy it. I want to eat what my sister-in-law makes.]

Xu Zhimo didn't understand what Yan Bao meant: "Where's the candy?"

Yan Bao continued to shake his head: [I only want to eat what my sister-in-law cooks.]

Xu Zhimo narrowed her eyes, looked at the well-behaved Yan Bao, and said gently: "Yan Bao, can you let me see your throat?"

She currently cannot come up with the five thousand taels and cannot pay it back.

Xu Zhimo felt embarrassed because she owed the Shen family a big favor.

She thought about letting Yan Bao check her throat. If it could be cured, it would be a favor.

Yan Bao saw what Xu Zhimo was thinking, and she cooperated by opening her mouth, revealing her little tongue, and her tonsils could be seen.

Xu Zhimo put her hand on Yan Bao's throat, signaling Yan Bao to speak: "Ah~"

Yan Bao: “…”

Xu Zhimo: “Oh~”

Yan Bao: “…”

Xu Zhimo refused to give up: "Ahem..."

Yan Bao: “….”

[It's useless. My throat isn't inoperable due to a medical condition; it's congenital. There's no cure, unless it's with the Thirteenth Prince. As long as I'm with the Thirteenth Prince, I can speak.]

Brother Shen, who came hurriedly with five thousand taels of silver, heard Yan Bao's shocking secret before he even stepped into the door of the pharmacy.

Can Yan Bao speak?

Do I have to be with the Thirteenth Prince?

Why?

Can't I just be with him as the big brother?
