She was going to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for self-defense.

After all, this matter was very strange, and she had no choice but to be on guard!

Jiang Wanwan went to a deserted place and bought a monkey face mask at the mall to cover her face when she went to buy medicine later.

To avoid attracting attention, she specifically chose a secluded pharmacy.

He'antang was her first choice; it was located at the very end of the alley, where there were hardly any people around.

Jiang Wanwan put on a monkey face mask and walked into He'an Hall.

The manager of He'an Hall was propping his head up with one hand, nodding off.

"Boss, we've got a job!" Jiang Wanwan said, deliberately changing her voice.

The shopkeeper of He'an Hall was instantly awakened, and when he saw the enlarged monkey face mask on Jiang Wanwan's face, he was startled again.

"Sir, sir, what would you like to buy?" the shopkeeper asked in a trembling voice.

Jiang Wanwan moved her lips and whispered what she needed.

The shopkeeper looked Jiang Wanwan up and down, then shook his head and said, "Sir, our shop is a pharmacy that specializes in selling medicinal herbs. We don't sell these harmful things."

Medicine and poison are inseparable; if the shopkeeper says she doesn't have what she wants, it can only be because she didn't give her enough.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan took out a ten-tael silver ingot from her sleeve and placed it on the counter with a "snap." "Is it for sale now?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

In an instant, a smile spread across the pharmacy owner's face. He quickly brought the silver to his eyes to examine it carefully, and then bit it with his teeth. After confirming that the silver was real, his smile became even brighter.

"Hehehe, yes, yes. Please wait a moment, sir, I'll get it for you right away."

The pharmacy owner temporarily left the counter and went into a room with a curtain hanging on the door.

A short while later, the pharmacy owner came out of the house and placed two packets of medicine powder in front of Jiang Wanwan.

"Sir, these two packets of powder are what you just ordered. They've already been labeled. If anything goes wrong, please don't reveal anything about this pharmacy, lest it damage our reputation," the pharmacy owner said.

Jiang Wanwan said with a smile, "Likewise."

After tucking the two packets of medicine powder into her sleeve, Jiang Wanwan left He'an Hall.

Wearing a monkey face mask, she wandered around until she reached a deserted place, where she took off the mask and threw it away.

Jiang Wanwan strolled around the streets for a while, and finally estimated that it was almost time, so she returned to the wonton shop in front of the city gate.

"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons, a large one," Jiang Wanwan said.

"Hey, little girl, you actually came back for wontons! I thought you were just kidding me." The stall owner was pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Wanwan return to his stall.

"No, that wontons wontons smell delicious. I have to try them."

"Thank you for your kind words, young lady. Please find a table and sit down; I'll serve you wontons right away," the owner said happily.

A moment later, the vendor brought over a large bowl of wontons. "Please enjoy, young lady."

Jiang Wanwan leisurely ate her wontons. Just as she finished a bowl of wontons, her second uncle came to find her.

When Uncle Jiang saw Jiang Wanwan, he felt a toothache. The money for the oxcart ride, the money to go to town, plus the money for the wontons, totaled thirteen coins!

How long would it take him to earn thirteen coins!

Uncle Jiang forced a smile. "Wan'er, have you eaten? It's almost time. Let's go wait for Liu Si under the tree by the city gate. He'll take us there in a bit—"

P.S.: Do you guys think Uncle Jiang was bribed by Su Wan'er?

Happy weekend, my darlings!
