"Doctor Li, since they don't want to, then forget it. We won't force them."
Jiang Xueying planned to leave, but that didn't mean she was going to swallow this humiliation. She had to teach this ignorant servant a lesson before she left. He was too arrogant and didn't take others into consideration at all. She had to let him know what it meant to look down on others!
Seeing the two men were about to leave, the servant was about to make some sarcastic remarks, when suddenly he heard footsteps behind him, followed by a scolding.
"Tiexi, what nonsense are you talking about? People come to our house to ask for medicine, which means that our Chen family's business is doing well. How can we allow you to be so presumptuous here!"
The voice sounded familiar. Jiang Xueying looked closely and thought, isn't this... Chen Simin?
Chen Simin didn't notice Jiang Xueying. She happened to hear what the servant said when she walked out just now. She felt a little uncomfortable and was still scolding the servant.
"I think you are becoming more and more unruly. As the saying goes, a guest is a guest. Look at how you talk to others. Do you usually talk to others like this?"
"I won't do that again, miss. I just said something out of turn. I won't do that again in the future."
The servant never expected that his young lady would suddenly appear. His face turned pale instantly and his arrogance disappeared, as if the arrogant person just now was not him.
Chen Simin looked at him coldly, feeling angry at those people who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed.
"What else are you afraid of? Listen carefully. If I hear you treat someone who comes here to ask for medicine like this again, I will kick you out of the house!"
"Yes, I won't dare to do it again. Miss, please forgive me this time."
The servant kept begging for mercy and was very afraid of his master.
The Chen family is the largest merchant of medicinal materials, with business spread all over the place. Mr. Chen and Miss Chen are kind to others, and even the servants of the Chen family earn several times more than those of other families. With these benefits, who would want to leave the Chen family?
Seeing Chen Simin and hearing their conversation, Jiang Xueying sighed that it was really fate. It turned out that the Chen family was Chen Simin's family. She was a little happy in her heart. She didn't expect to see her here.
"Ms. Chen, it turns out that the Chen Family Pharmacy is yours."
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Simin looked up suddenly and saw her old acquaintance Jiang Xueying looking at her with a smile, and she couldn't help but show joy on her face.
"Sister Jiang, why are you here?"
She was happy when she suddenly realized that the servant was mocking Jiang Xueying and the others. Her face immediately darkened and she scolded him a few more times.
"Tiexi, I think you are also a good person who plays nice and clever. You never act like this in front of us, but you act completely different in front of outsiders. You are really trying to embarrass our Chen family. Fortunately, I caught you today. Otherwise, if you let my sister Jiang be rejected, you will not be allowed to stay in the two families in the future."
"Please forgive me, please forgive me, I didn't know this girl... She is your acquaintance. I was blind. Please don't chase me away. I won't dare to do it again!"
The servant knelt down on the ground in fear, his face turned pale, and he kept begging for mercy.
He knew that the young lady's words carried weight in front of the master. If the young lady opened her mouth, he would really be kicked out. Now he regretted it very much. If he had known that the young lady knew them, he would not have said those words and would have treated them as his ancestors.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything more. Anyway, if I see you again next time, you won't be able to stay in the mansion. Also, open your dog eyes and see that this is my sister Jiang. Next time you come, please come in respectfully. Do you hear me?"
There was a hint of coldness in Chen Simin's tone. She never expected that her own servant would be so arrogant and domineering, and dare to hurt others with his words. Apparently, this was not the first time. It seemed that she would have to discipline him in the future.
"Yes, yes, yes, next time this young lady comes, I will respectfully invite her in!"
After hearing this, the servant lowered his head, not daring to say another word, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Sister Jiang, I'll take you into the mansion."
After teaching the servant a lesson, Chen Simin happily ran to Jiang Xueying, smilingly invited Jiang Xueying and the others in, and apologized to them guiltily as he walked in.
"Sister Jiang, I'm really sorry. I didn't know this servant was so perverse and powerless. When my father comes back, I will report to him and I will definitely kick the servant out to vent my anger on you and... this gentleman."
"Miss Chen, that's not necessary. We are the ones who are disturbing you today."
Doctor Li shook his head and tried to persuade him. He just couldn't stand the servant's face. To put it bluntly, he was just taking advantage of the power of his master.
But in today's world, there are so many people like this, and it's impossible to count them all.
Chen Simin felt a little embarrassed when she heard that. She didn't expect this gentleman to be so magnanimous. She heard some of what the servant said just now. If she suffered such humiliation, she would definitely not let it go.
"Well, no matter what, it is my Chen family that has not been courteous enough in hosting guests today. Please forgive me."
Chen Simin happily pulled Jiang Xueying inside and told the maid to prepare tea.
"Hey, Sister Simin, please stop talking like that. We came to the Chen family today to ask for something important. I won't beat around the bush. I came here to ask for the herb white peony root. This is the main herb we use to save lives and it is indispensable."
Jiang Xueying sighed as she spoke, thinking of the hardships they had gone through to ask Bai Shao for help.
"Doctor Li and I are at our wits' end. We have asked all the pharmacies around here, but they all said they didn't have white peony root. We finally found out that you have it, so we are taking the liberty to bother you."
White peony?
Chen Simin was stunned for a moment. "Sister Jiang, I know the white peony you mentioned. I do have some at home, but you came at an unfortunate time. My father took all the white peony away. I heard that someone is in urgent need of this medicinal herb."
Hearing this, Jiang Xueying and Doctor Li were both disappointed and anxious at the same time. They didn't expect that this would be such a coincidence.
Without white peony root, the medicine could not be prepared. Thinking of those poor villagers who were suffering from the disease, they both felt very anxious. What should they do?
Especially Jiang Xueying, she had wanted to find Bai Shao no matter what, but she didn't expect to hit a snag as soon as she came. After finally meeting Chen Simin, Bai Shao was taken away by her father. Is all this God's will?
The next moment, she stood up immediately.
"No, we can't just wait like this, I have to go look for it, otherwise our trip will be in vain."
"Yes, there may be some out there."
Doctor Li also felt a glimmer of hope.
Of course, they all knew that the hope was slim. After all, they had inquired before and found that there were almost no pharmacies.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Chen Simin hurriedly stopped them.
