Chapter 17 Inspecting the Shop

In the carriage, Qin Xixi figured out where to go to the pharmacy.

She immediately pretended to take a nap and closed her eyes.

In fact, she came to the space of her bracelet.

"This, this, and this! All of you go to the shelf of the pharmacy."

After transferring all the herbs, Qin Xixi pretended that nothing happened, opened her eyes, and looked at the market outside the carriage window.

Although Qin Xixi hoped that Qin Shu would take the medicine by the way, Qin Shu did not go to the pharmacy just to get medicine.

The pharmacy was where she got the medicine before. For so many years, Jinzhu and Yinbao had been boiling medicine for her.

Jinzhu and Yinbao were naturally thinking about themselves, and the source of the poison could only be the pharmacy or the people who bought it.

She checked the purchasing woman and found no problem.

In the end, the problem was naturally the Qin family's pharmacy. After

a long period of secret investigation, she finally got the evidence of collusion between Zhou Yiyang and the pharmacy manager.

This time, she went to replace the manager in the pharmacy.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and she felt the carriage stopped. Qin Shu got off the carriage holding Qin Xixi, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and walked into the pharmacy.

"Madam, why are you here!"

The pharmacy manager recognized Qin Shu at a glance.

He smiled sincerely. If Qin Shu didn't know the truth, she might really think he was a very honest person.

"I'm here to inspect the store."

Qin Shu looked around and pointed to a shelf, which was already empty.

"Why don't you restock this? What will happen to people who are in a hurry to get medicine if there are fewer herbs?"

The shopkeeper answered respectfully.

"This was just sold before you came, and we were just planning to restock it. Ah Hui, hurry up!"

Qin Shu continued to walk around the medicine shop, finding faults from time to time.

"This herb is placed wrong."

"Why is this herb missing?"

"Why are the two herbs mixed together?"

"..."

She asked a question, and the shopkeeper answered a question.

Gradually, the shopkeeper could see that she was finding faults.

But Qin Shu was the head of the family, and the shopkeeper dared not speak out. He broke out in a cold sweat and finally breathed a sigh of relief when Qin Shu finished her round.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shu's next sentence made him furious.

"Okay, you're fired."

The shopkeeper looked incredulous.

He raised his voice, furious.

"If Madam doesn't like me, she can just fire me directly. Why did she humiliate me and then fire me? What hatred do I have with Madam that makes Madam go to so much trouble?"

What hatred? Qin Shu sneered.

"How dare you question me? If I were you, I would leave in disgrace and get out of the capital!"

The shopkeeper was startled and felt a little guilty, but he still looked angry.

"I am upright and honest, Madam, you slander me without any basis. I hope I can't accept it!"

Ah Hui, who was standing beside him, also nodded in agreement.

"Master has always taught us to be good people, practice medicine uprightly, and be kind. Did Madam make a mistake?"

This Wang Shanqing is really good at pretending!

No wonder he could collude with Zhou Yiyang, that hypocritical gentleman.

He usually uses a bright appearance, hypocritical kindness, and pretends to be noble, and he is not afraid of being retaliated in the future!

"Then I have to ask you, Wang Shanqing, why did you collude with Zhou Yiyang and poison my medicine?"

Qin Shu's voice was fierce, and Wang Shanqing's luck was gone, and his face was pale and scary.

Ah Hui was even more unbelievable.

"Madam, how is it possible, the master can't do such a thing!"

Hearing this, Qin Shu slapped the two prescriptions on the table.

"Then take a look for yourself, are these two prescriptions different!"

One is Qin Shu's own prescription, and the other is found from Zhou Yiyang.

Qin Shu gave the former prescription to the purchasing woman, and Wang Shanqing followed the latter prescription to get the medicine!

And this prescription...

"An additional Yuehu Yuanhua? This medicine is indeed a tonic, but when used together with these other medicines..."

It will become a chronic poison and will make people fat!

Looking at the round Madam Qin in front of him, although her face is big, it can be seen that if she loses weight, she will definitely be a beauty.

She has become so fat, it is obvious that she does not have much time left.

Ah Hui turned his head with difficulty to look at the master, his face was able to explain everything.

"Master, you..."

Qin Shu didn't care about the drama of the deep affection between the master and the apprentice.

"If this prescription is not enough, let's go to the 48th house on East Street to see if your whole family is there, and whether it is the house that Zhou Yiyang arranged for you!" The

shopkeeper knelt down at once when he heard the words, and cold sweat dripped from his head.

"Madam, I was blinded by greed, I was wrong!"

Wang Shanqing kept knocking his head, and it was bleeding.

[Why is it so popular to kowtow to your mother recently? ]

Qin Xixi scratched her head and giggled.

"Madam, please forgive me this time, I will never dare to do it again! I have five children at home and several elderly people to take care of."

"If I forgive you this time, who will save me? Don't I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, don't I have six children to take care of, and a heartless husband?"

Qin Shu was so angry that she laughed.

In order to avoid Zhou Yiyang's suspicion, she threatened him again.

"If you keep what happened today to yourself, your whole family can still survive. If you tell Zhou Yiyang, I will report it to the government, and your whole family will be in trouble!"

"If they ask, just say that you are old and are going back to your hometown. Otherwise..."

[Well done, mother! Don't be soft-hearted, this is the retribution they deserve! ]

It was only when little Xixi came to the pharmacy with her mother that she found out that the shopkeeper was actually an accomplice who poisoned her mother together with Zhou Yiyang!

But she didn't forget her real purpose while being angry.

Seeing her mother drive away Master Wang Shanqing and his apprentice, and re-promote the new shopkeeper who had been investigated long ago, Xixi's little mind was spinning fast.

[How did mother find out that there were herbs to cure her disease here? ]

Xixi was stunned without noticing Qin Shu's figure.

The herbs to cure her disease? There is a cure for her disease!

She had given up hope and was thinking about quickly arranging the funeral and overthrowing Zhou Yiyang, but she didn't expect her daughter to say that there was still a cure for her disease!

Qin Shu hurriedly concentrated and continued to eavesdrop.

[Alas, I just thought about putting the herbs in the medicine shop. How could my mother find the big golden flower?]

Qin Shu: Bring me the Coptis chinensis and Honeysuckle.

[Huh? There are also the four-flavored fairy grass that looks like dogtail grass.]

Qin Shu: There are also four-flavored fairy grass.

[Wow! There is also the red fire grass that looks like flames!]

Qin Shu: Fire grass.

...

[My mother is so amazing! She actually knows how to detoxify herself!]

Qin Shu coughed and felt a little guilty.

[It's just that there's still one thousand-year-old ginseng missing. I don't have it, and the pharmacy doesn't have it either. Where can I find it...]

"Yang Xuan, help me keep an eye out for the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old ginseng."

Yang Xuan is the newly appointed shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

He is an honest man with a simple family background. He is not the kind of person who is only interested in profit.

Qin Shu found out that he had used his own money to buy medicine for poor people many times before, so she decided to let him take over the pharmacy.

Yang Xuan bowed when he heard this.

"Madam, I only know that the current emperor's grandson has a thousand-year-old ginseng. I will send someone to look for one or two more in the near future."

[The little emperor's grandson has a thousand-year-old ginseng! ]

Qin Xixi was delighted in her heart. Her mother's disease could be completely cured!

But Qin Shu was not so optimistic.

After all, His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor has only a shallow friendship with them, so how could he give them the old ginseng so easily?

The thousand-year-old ginseng is not only a tonic, but is also said to have the effect of prolonging life.

Most emperors in the past dynasties were obsessed with immortality. Even a wise ruler like the current emperor couldn't help wanting to rule his country for a few more years.

The little grandson of the Emperor is very smart. He probably collected the thousand-year-old ginseng just to make his grandfather smile.

There are not many good things in the world, so how could Pei Xuanyi give them to them so easily?
