When Dongming Huo came out of the alchemy room, the sun had already set.

I wearily wiped the sweat from my forehead and planned to go to the pharmacy to get some high-quality medicinal flowers to use for a relaxing medicinal bath later.

Looking up, he saw Wuyai standing in front of him with a deep expression, and his eyelids suddenly twitched.

"Young Master, you've finally come out." Wuya's voice trembled slightly, unsure how to explain the current state of the pharmacy.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Miss Qian hasn't left yet?" Dongming Huo rubbed his eyelids and asked, puzzled.

Wuya's face darkened. How could that seemingly innocent Miss Qian be so greedy? Those were medicinal herbs that the young master had painstakingly accumulated. How could she be so greedy?

Seeing that Wuya had not replied for a long time, Dongming Huo gasped and flashed to the courtyard next door. The moment he pushed open the door of the medicine storehouse, he froze on the spot.

sky!

Was this a robbery?

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, closed them, and then opened them again, forced to accept the terrible reality.

The medicinal herbs that had been painstakingly stockpiled were all looted by Miss Qian, who was so cruel as to leave not a single scrap for herself.

Suddenly, he felt a wave of regret, wishing he could cry. He regretted agreeing so readily in the first place. Now, who could he ask for his money back?

"Young Master, should we report this to the Prince?" Wuya was worried that the Prince might not have seen through the person; this Miss Qian was far too greedy.

"Fine, he can't have chosen the wrong person. However, I can't let myself suffer a loss; this loss must be recovered." Dongming Huo quickly accepted reality, pondering where to retrieve some of the medicinal herbs that had disappeared from this warehouse.

After a moment of contemplation, Wuya had a sudden inspiration and said in a sly whisper, "I heard that the Bai family recently received a batch of excellent medicinal herbs. What do you think?"

“Alright, the Bai family isn’t clean either, and that old man isn’t a good person.” Dongming Huo’s eyes lit up, and he started calculating.

...

Yawn! Yawn!

After sneezing several times in a row, Qian Youxue immediately lost her appetite.

hehe……

Yunhe couldn't help but laugh out loud, covering her mouth as she said, "No wonder Miss left in such a hurry today, you've really struck gold today."

"Can't you wait? Those things might not be available with silver. I bet you're regretting it now and cursing me!" Qian Youxue guessed that it was Bu Yu's cursing that made her sneeze repeatedly.

Lianxin listened attentively to their conversation, afraid that she might miss a single word and then lose track of what they were talking about.

However, the young lady understood what she had just said, and asked curiously, "Then... how much are those medicinal herbs worth?"

"It will cost at least several million taels of silver." Qian Youxue deliberately lowered the price to avoid frightening the girl.

ah……

Lianxin opened her mouth wide in surprise, her wide eyes remaining fixed for a long time without blinking.

Yunhe wasn't particularly sensitive to money; he had never lacked it when he served the young master. Now that he was serving his master, he was even less likely to lack money, so he wasn't surprised at all.

"Alright, you've all eaten and drunk your fill, go and rest. I still need to do some research. I reckon the Qian family compound won't be quiet for long." Qian Youxue thought that if, as Bu Yu said, there was no need to worry about the Crown Prince's bestowed marriage succeeding, then there would definitely be quite a bit of commotion.

She feared that if the city gates caught fire, innocent bystanders would be affected, especially her grandmother whose health was deteriorating. She needed to improve her spiritual power as soon as possible so that she could make an accurate diagnosis for her grandmother.
