Chapter 1182: Can't Stop
Xiao Shao said, "The reason our pharmacy sold this pill without blinking an eye yesterday was because Doctor Zhou came forward. She's the head doctor at Jishiditang, a famous little genius in the capital. Our shopkeeper didn't hesitate to give in and only charged the cost price. If it were the original price, this pill would have been worth 150 taels."
Xiao Shao took out a bill and showed it to Old Madam Yue. "Here's the bill. Our pharmacy sent it to your house yesterday. The three taels and three qian of silver added just now are for the medicine that was just prescribed. You can take a look."
Seeing that Old Madam Yue's face was stiff, Xiao Shao bowed and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can take the prescription to another shop to ask for the price. The medicine in our Jishitang is definitely not more expensive than other pharmacies."
He glanced at Manbao and whispered, "Actually, this doesn't include Doctor Zhou's consultation fee. But Doctor Zhou said that the lady in the mansion is her good sister, and she is worried, so she wants to come and see the doctor in person. It's difficult for us at Jishiditang to take care of this."
Fu Wenhua walked behind Old Lady Yue, stared at Yue Dalang who was sitting on the chair and asked, "Second brother-in-law, does the Fu family have to pay for my second sister's medicine?"
Yue Dalang's nose was still hurting, and he immediately said, "Don't misunderstand, Third Brother. I was just busy yesterday, so I didn't have time to settle the bill with the pharmacy."
He quickly looked at Old Lady Yue and cried pitifully, "Mother~~"
Old Madam Yue gave a stiff laugh. "Yes, we were a little busy yesterday. Come on, take this guy to settle the bill."
Xiao Shao bowed to Man Bao and went downstairs with Yue's servants to settle the bill.
Butler Xu squinted his eyes and looked at him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Manbao, who had been drinking tea with his head down, finally put down his teacup, looked up and smiled at Old Lady Yue, saying, "Uncle Yue is fine now, but he should eat less meat and rest for the next two days."
Fu Wenhua snorted, turned around and was about to go to the backyard. Old Madam Yue was afraid that he would really take the person away, so she quickly asked the servants to stop him.
Fu Wenhua was about to lose his temper again when Butler Xu stepped forward to stop him and said, "Master, let's go out and find a place to live first. We can talk about it after we get settled."
"Then leave my second sister here?"
Housekeeper Xu smiled and said, "Didn't Miss Man say that Second Aunt is out of danger? If that's the case, I don't think even the Yue family, no matter how heartless and disloyal, would dare to torture Second Aunt at this time. The Master will arrive in the capital in two days."
Fu Wenhua then gritted his teeth and admitted it, then turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Yue Dalang, who had been leaning back in a chair pretending to be dead, ignored the pain and hurried over to stop him. "Third brother, the servants have already cleaned up the room. You just arrived in the capital and you don't know anyone here. Where are you going to stay?"
Although Old Lady Yue disliked Fu Wenhua very much, she was afraid that if she really let him move out at this time, the Yue family would seem even more unreasonable when the Fu family members arrived. So she also smiled and stepped forward to persuade him to stay, "Young Master Fu, even if you don't think about yourself, please think about your second sister. It's almost dark now. If she knew you were living outside, she would be so worried..."
Housekeeper Xu would never let Fu Wenhua live here again, so he whispered in Fu Wenhua's ear: "Master, we came to Beijing to arrange accommodation for the master and his wife in advance. Why don't we go find a broker to see if there is a suitable house now?"
Fu Wenhua agreed immediately, "Okay."
Yue Dalang quickly stopped him, "Even if you want to find a broker, you can wait until tomorrow when you have more time. You've been traveling so hard today, why not rest at home first..."
Fu Wenhua pushed him away without any hesitation and said angrily, "Go away, or I'll beat you up again!"
Yue Dalang shrank back, but refused to let Fu Wenhua move out no matter what.
My brother-in-law who came from afar came to Beijing and lived outside in an unfamiliar place. If this got out, what would people say about him?
Manbao, who was lying in the hall, spread his hands to Bai Shan at the door, picked up the pen and ink on the table, and took the medicine box out.
The two of them bowed to the Yue family mother and son who had no time to greet them, and slipped away with a secret smile.
Xiao Shao has also paid the bill and is waiting at the door.
After the three of them got in the car, Daji drove away. After leaving the alley, Manbao said, "Let's wait here for a while."
Bai Shan looked into the alley and saw that the noise was gradually getting louder. Thinking that it might take some time, he asked Xiao Shao, "Is that medicine really so precious?"
"Of course they are precious," Manbao answered. She said, "The life-saving pills are only made once every two months, and at most five pills can be made at a time. Sometimes the materials are not complete, so it may only be made once every three months."
Xiao Shao nodded repeatedly and whispered, "Originally, the head shopkeeper meant that since the medicine was taken by Doctor Zhou, it should be charged at eighty taels..."
Man Bao waved his hand and said, "No need to calculate. Just give his family the right amount of medicine from now on. I have no objection if you're happy to add a little more."
Xiao Shao smiled and said, "How can I add more? We at Jishiditang have always been fair to everyone."
Bai Shan: ...You must be kidding. Who said that medicine costs 150 taels?
One piece of medicine can buy a shop in their county town.
Just as he was thinking, the alley became more and more lively. The Yue family was unable to keep Fu Wenhua. He kicked anyone who dared to stop him. The servants did not dare to pull him back. After being kicked twice by him, Yue Dalang did not dare to stop him. He could only follow behind and persuade him while watching him leave the Yue family.
Butler Xu helped Fu Wenhua out of the house. Feng Shu drove out their carriage. The three masters and servants got on the carriage and left without paying any attention to the Yue family's attempts to keep them.
Old Madam Yue leaned against the door and banged on it, howling, "What are you saying? What are you saying? Even if my uncle is angry, he shouldn't be making your sister worry at this moment."
Fu Wenhua sat on the shaft of the cart. After glancing at Old Madam Yue, he pointed at Yue Dalang's nose and said, "Yue Lan, if you dare to bully my sister again, I will beat you every time I see you. You'd better treat my sister well when you go back. What are you worried about? I know Madam Fu. She will never gossip about my second sister. If your servants or any random people gossip about her and prevent her from recovering properly, you'll just have to wait and see!"
Old Mrs. Yue stopped howling and her face turned pale and blue. Yue Dalang's face also looked a little ugly.
But Fu Wenhua didn't give him time to react and directly asked Feng Shu to drive away.
Yue Dalang watched the carriage drive away. Turning back, he saw another neighbor peering at him. Remembering his facial injury, he quickly raised his sleeve to cover his face and called a servant over, saying, "Hurry up and follow them. Let's see where my uncle and his family are staying today."
The servant quickly responded and ran after him.
The carriage left the alley. Butler Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the carriage parked nearby. He immediately jumped out and trotted forward, bowing repeatedly and saying, "Mr. Bai, Miss Man..."
See you at 4 p.m.
