It didn't rain today, and the weather was a bit gloomy. There were noticeably fewer people on the street than usual. Qian Youxue was dressed like an ordinary person, with a veil over her face, and went out without attracting any attention.

I had heard Wu Xie mention before that the largest pharmacies in Xuanwu City were the Hua family and the Bai family.

It is said that the Bai family not only had a wealthy background, but also had kinship ties with the imperial palace. They were very popular in Xuanwu City, and the Bai family's pharmacy had ways to obtain many special medicinal herbs.

So today, she plans to visit the Bai family pharmacy to see if she makes any new discoveries.

"Miss, are you going to Bai Family Pharmacy?" Yunhe looked up and saw Bai Family Pharmacy right in front of her, and couldn't help but furrow her brows.

The young master said that unless absolutely necessary, one should avoid provoking the Bai family, since places associated with the royal family are bound to have trouble.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. I just want to go in and take a look." Qian Youxue knew Yunhe's worries.

So the master and servant went inside one after the other.

Bai Family Pharmacy is a place where doctors practice medicine and patients on one side, and where medicinal herbs are sold purely on the other. Perhaps because of the weather, there weren't many customers today, and the shop assistants in the lobby seemed a bit lazy, with two of them chatting idly at the counter.

"I don't know which reckless person dared to touch the medicine from the Bai family's pharmacy. They're insane!" The short man looked curious and bewildered.

"Sigh...who knows? Maybe it's someone from the palace?" The tall man had a look of anticipation on his face.

"What, what news have you heard?" the short man asked.

“You didn’t come yesterday. After Old Master Bai returned from the palace yesterday, his face was dark. The shopkeeper was scolded mercilessly and has been muttering to himself all day. We were unlucky enough to be scolded all day as well.” The tall man pursed his lips, still vivid in his mind the shopkeeper’s dark and unsightly expression.

"Really? They all cursed..." The shorter man was interested and wanted to continue asking when he saw the shopkeeper leading the merchants downstairs. He quickly gave the taller man a look, and the two of them obediently shut their mouths.

Qian Youxue overheard their conversation, and a brilliant idea flashed through her mind. She took out a five-hundred-tael silver note and slapped it on the counter.

"What would you like to buy, sir?" The tall man was the first to come to his senses and greeted Qian Youxue.

"Do you have purple oil grass?" Qian Youxue casually mentioned the name of a medicinal herb, glancing at the shopkeeper who was walking towards them.

The tall man was taken aback at first, then bowed and scraped as he walked out from behind the counter, greeted the shopkeeper, and whispered a few words to him.

The shopkeeper looked heartbroken after hearing this, staring intently at the five hundred taels of silver note. After a moment's hesitation, he smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Sir, you've come at an inopportune time. This medicinal herb should have arrived by now, but there have been some problems. So, would you like to see if you need anything else?"

"If there's no purple oil grass, can we have spring breeze lotus?" Qian Youxue asked in a calm tone.

The shopkeeper's face flashed with pain again, and he shook his head in frustration. It was clear that this medicinal herb was also out of stock due to the problem.

"Do you have the Thousand Insects Soaring and the Ten Thousand Grains Seedlings?" Qian Youxue asked anxiously.

"Alas... I'm afraid the special medicinal herbs you requested won't be available for a while. You'll have to look for them elsewhere." The shopkeeper, left with no other option, could only let the money fly away.

Qian Youxue shook her head in feigned disappointment, said nothing more, and led Yunhe out of the Bai family pharmacy in a casual manner.

The pharmacy that said they couldn't provide all had those four herbs, but she just picked them all up. Judging from the shopkeeper's expression earlier, those four herbs were clearly among the lost ones. What a coincidence!

Could it be?

Hehehe...

Thinking of a likely possibility, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

"I didn't expect Mr. Buyu to be so bold as to even target the Bai family? The Bai family's losses this time must be considerable." Yunhe had seen the medicinal herbs that her young lady had brought back, and with her quick mind, she soon thought the same thing as her young lady.
