Chapter 50 Welded to the Pillar of Shame
Having obtained enough blood, he then lightly tossed Shan Yixiao into the surging, angry crowd behind him.
If the Crown Prince were still alive, the people might still have some reservations and wouldn't dare to act recklessly towards Shan Yixiao.
Now that those two have run away, the people are emboldened and are determined to settle scores and grievances!
Shan Yixiao's curses and cries for help were quickly drowned out by the crowd.
Looking at the half-bowl of blood in his hand, Old Master Chen said with some heartache, "Alas... Xiao Si is too pitiful."
Yesterday he even gave Xiao Si a magic pill, hoping to help him out. Little did he know that his wife was heartless and cheated on him with a cuckold.
I wonder if Shan Yixiao is Xiao Si's biological son. If he isn't, then it's even more tragic, absolutely horrific.
"The Lin family head's wife probably doesn't know about this yet, right? Let's go all the way and help him spread the word about this good thing." Shanxi emphasized the word "good thing" with extra emphasis.
How dare she cuckold her grandson?
She wanted to weld those two to the pillar of shame!
"Understood," Old Master Chen replied in a thunderous voice, extremely loud.
Seeing Shanxi about to leave, Junyan pursed her pale lips slightly, asking with some reluctance, "Miss Shanxi, would you like to finish your meal before you go? Although the dishes at this restaurant aren't top-notch,..."
"Eat! We must eat! We can't waste it." Shanxi said, turning around and returning to the private room they had just been in.
She came to the restaurant to settle accounts with the Lin family head, but the restaurant was full of tables. Just when she was worried about where to sit, she saw that Jun Yan had booked a private room and was alone, so she shared a table with Jun Yan.
However, she hadn't had much of an appetite because of the scumbag's behavior earlier, but now that he had been punished, she was in a great mood and her appetite was returning.
Watching Shanxi eat without any restraint, Junyan smiled and felt a surge of happiness.
She doesn't treat him like an outsider, which means... he's already become one of her own.
Meanwhile, at Lin's Auction House.
After returning to the Lin family auction house, the head of the Lin family immediately posted a statement saying that he had no connection with Shan Yixiao whatsoever!
However, under the arrangement of the Chen family head, the affair between the Lin family head and the fourth wife was quickly made public.
"It's alright? If it's alright, why did you still host a banquet for Shan Yixiao at the restaurant today?"
“I saw with my own eyes that you and Shan Yixiao’s mother were in an ambiguous relationship, the two of you with your arms around each other’s waist as you went into the alley.”
"When the kind-hearted fourth master came to see you today, didn't you beat him up and throw him out? How come you're saying it's all over now?"
"I never would have guessed that Shan Yixiao's mother is already middle-aged, yet the Lin family head isn't picky at all!"
"Who do you think Shan Yixiao is actually? The Lin family head values Shan Yixiao so much, could he actually be the Lin family head's son?"
"Hiss... This looks like another piece of melon."
As the gossip grew increasingly worse, the Lin family head grew increasingly anxious. However, before he could explain, a noblewoman dressed in fine silks and satins rushed over angrily. The moment the Lin family head opened his mouth, the noblewoman slapped him with her claws, making him cry out in pain.
Kind-hearted family.
When the Fourth Master heard about these things, he was so moved that tears streamed down his face: "Waaah... Grandma is still the best to me."
After this incident, he felt utterly ashamed and couldn't face anyone. He never expected his great-grandmother to be so protective of him, personally stepping in to help him vent his anger and even spreading the scandalous affair between the two of them so that everyone would know about it...
"Silly child." Shanxi patted the Fourth Master's head with a look of pity.
In her eyes, the Fourth Master was still a child at heart.
When her own child is bullied, how can she, as a parent, sit idly by?
Just then, a servant rushed in to report, already looking at Shanxi as usual: "Reporting to the master, there are three alchemists outside the door who claim to be from the Alchemist Guild and request an audience."
Alchemists in the Alchemist Guild?
Aren't those the three little apprentices that Grandma mentioned?
Old Master Shan was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered his servants, "Quickly! Quickly invite them in."
Shanxi waved his hand and said, "No rush. Let them go to the courtyard to refine pills first. Report back after they have refined ten batches of pills."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Shan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Grandma, I'll go and make the arrangements."
Now, Shanjia Auction House is entirely relying on these three people.
Led by Old Master Shan, the three alchemists slowly entered the Shan residence, looking around as they went: "It seems to have changed, yet it seems like nothing has changed."
However, before even meeting Shanxi, he was told that he had to refine ten batches of pills first, which made Old Master Shanxi stammer and feel embarrassed to speak.
The three listened without any objection, replying in a matter-of-fact tone, "Okay!"
"Is Master testing us?"
"Excuse me, sir, did the guild leader mention what kind of elixir he needs?"
Old Master Shan gently shook his head and repeated Shanxi's words directly.
After hearing this, the three of them didn't ask any more questions. They each took out a large cauldron from their spatial bags and placed it on the ground with a clang.
In an instant, the earth shook violently, and Old Master Shan nearly lost his footing.
Soon, the three of them, like well-trained soldiers, started a fire, warmed the furnace, and threw in medicinal herbs. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, a sight to behold.
In less than an hour, the entire Shanfu was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.
When Shan Mingyuan led the other elders of the Shan family to attack, this was the scene that greeted them.
They suddenly brought in three alchemists from who-knows-where, and they set up their alchemy practice right there in the courtyard of the Shanfu mansion.
Seeing this scene, Shan Mingyuan found it utterly ridiculous. What was the difference between this and digging a well when you're thirsty or mending the fold after the sheep are lost?
"Where's the eldest brother? Where did he find these three unreliable alchemists? Do they really think they can finish refining them in time?" one of the elders of the Shan family said with a disdainful look.
He said that these three young men didn't seem like they knew how to refine pills at all. They probably couldn't even refine a second-tier pill.
The three people who were refining pills had excellent hearing. Hearing his question, they couldn't help but twitch their ears, thinking, "Could this also be one of Master's tests to see if their mental state is stable while refining pills?"
Immediately afterwards, the person next to him continued, "Their technique looks quite professional, but I wonder what the quality of the pills they produce will be."
"If we can refine a batch of fourth-grade pills, we can at least fulfill part of our promises and prevent others from saying that our charitable shop is bullying its customers."
"Shanxi is now the head of the family, and her words represent the entire Shan family. Her word is law, which is the basic principle of our Shan family's business. Now, even if we have to sell everything we own, we must make up for it with this elixir!"
The other person, upon hearing this, said irritably, "Sixth Brother, are you blind? Do these people look like they know how to refine pills? Trying to learn at the last minute, what good pills can they possibly make? They'll definitely end up draining our savings!"
Everyone was filled with resentment at this point!
Why should they bear the consequences of the mess that Sun Hee made?
