Chapter 593: Tearing off the
fig leaf The rich man's face turned cold, "Doctor, my grandmother is not feeling well, please come and help her."
When Doctor Liu heard that it was the old lady's health problem, he understood and hurried forward to help diagnose the pulse skillfully.
The old lady was extremely anxious and kept winking at him. When he went out to ask for help just now, the Fourth Prince's people followed him, and they didn't remind Doctor Liu.
Is this person's eyes sick? The old lady's eyes were almost bulging, and Doctor Liu smiled confidently: "The old lady just has an old problem. You should keep calm in normal times, and generally nothing will happen!"
"But the weather has been bad in recent days, and there are too many things to worry about in the mansion, so the old lady's old problem has also come back, so..."
Doctor Liu said, looking at everyone in the room: "Didn't I just write a prescription a few days ago? Have you found all the medicines in it?"
Everyone looked at each other, what else could they dare to say at this time?
"Old lady, it happens that the Fourth Prince is here now, why don't you ask him to help you find it?"
Doctor Liu reminded that there are two kinds of medicinal materials, the current price is very high, and they are not available on the market at all.
The Fourth Prince has good connections, so it should be no problem to find them.
"Grandma, what prescription is that? You'd better take it out and let me see it!"
The corners of Tuhao's lips curled up slightly. He wanted to see what the people in his grandma's family wanted to do.
[Hahaha, this old lady definitely doesn't dare to take it out!]
[That prescription is not for curing diseases at all. The herbs in it are extremely precious!]
[I've made up my mind. Tuhao will be very filial!]
[How about I try Doctor Liu first?]
Yuan Baobao blinked her eyes and moved her small body a few times towards Doctor Liu.
She was originally small in size, and when a tiny person moved, no one in the room noticed.
Yuan Baobao's little hands moved so quickly that Doctor Liu didn't even notice anything was wrong, and he couldn't help but ask: "Did it get lost? But it's okay, I have another one here!"
Doctor Liu took out another prescription and handed it to the Fourth Prince: "Fourth Prince, the herbs here are what the old lady needs!" "
Oh? Really?" The rich brother raised his eyebrows and looked at Doctor Liu with a smile.
"Use it for nothing!" Doctor Liu snorted, "This old woman is just taking advantage of her age. She is not sick at all, but she pretends to be sick every day. The medicines she prescribes are all for health care, not for treatment at all!"
"Ten prescriptions cost less than half a tael of silver, but the ones she asked me to prescribe cost hundreds of taels each!"
"What's even more outrageous is the last prescription, which contains two medicinal herbs worth thousands of taels. The old lady heard that Yun'an Hall wanted to buy these two herbs at a high price, so she wanted to sell them to them and make some money!"
Doctor Liu covered his mouth hard, but he found that even if he covered his mouth with his hands, he still couldn't help mumbling.
Doctor Liu was so anxious that he was sweating all over his forehead. Everyone in the room was stunned and didn't react for a while.
In the end, the old lady started to cough, and it seemed that she was going to cough out her lungs.
"You...you...you are talking nonsense!"
The eldest uncle also reacted, and ran to Doctor Liu and slapped him in the face.
"Humph, how could I be talking nonsense? Don't you know the value of the medicine I prescribe?"
"You took the medicine from the fourth prince's store and sold it to the rival. In less than half a year, you made more than 10,000 silver coins, and you only gave me 200 taels!"
"You..."
The eldest uncle was also stunned. He didn't know this way to make money.
"You are not a good person either. You lend money outside at high interest rates. Everyone in the capital knows about it, and you still think you are doing a good job?"
The eldest uncle was so scared that his face turned pale. He looked at the fourth prince with a guilty look: "Fourth Prince, he is talking nonsense. How could I break the law knowingly?"
The fourth prince looked at him with a smile: "Anyway, my father's people will come here soon to check whether you have done it or not. Uncle doesn't have to explain to me!"
After the rich brother finished speaking, his eyes fell on the old lady who was still coughing: "Grandma, I am too lazy to argue with you about the money you cheated me of in the past. I just did it as a filial piety to you. However, from now on, all the shops under my name will not welcome people from the Li family!"
"You, you...Chu Jianghuai, are you trying to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
The old lady was so angry that her voice was trembling, and she didn't even care about coughing.
Chu Jianghuai laughed sarcastically: "When have you ever helped me?"
"You lent money at high interest rates and sold the herbs in my shop to the other side. Are you my relatives or my enemies?"
The old lady blushed with shame. She was just a little short of money recently and had never done this before!
In fact, when Chu Jianghuai was in the capital, the people of the Li family did not dare to go so far.
"Fourth Prince, I have never done anything to let you down!"
The second uncle looked aggrieved. He was timid and did not dare to lend money at high interest rates like his elder brother, let alone cheat Chu Jianghuai's things.
Chu Jianghuai's words really hurt him.
"Second uncle, you'd better check the relationship between your son and you!"
"After all, why do you say he looks exactly like third uncle?"
...
"Fourth prince, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Chu Jianghuai had already left with Yuan Baobao when second aunt finally reacted. Her face suddenly lost color. She shouted at the top of her voice, and those who didn't know would think that the louder she spoke, the more right she was.
If this were normal, the family would have been in an uproar after hearing the news.
But today, the people of the Li family were dumbfounded.
They never thought that Chu Jianghuai, who hadn't seen them for half a year, came here for the first time and actually wanted to break off relations with them!
How is this possible? The Li family relies on Chu Jianghuai. If people outside know about this...
"I'd better go to the palace!" The old lady looked gloomy. Chu Jianghuai is old and has grown wings. He hasn't learned to fly yet? You want to cross the river and destroy the bridge. How can such a good thing happen in the world?
The eldest uncle looked gloomy: "Then I..."
Chu Jianghuai just said that he already knew that he was lending money outside, and Doctor Liu...
"Who did you hear that from? Who is spreading the news outside?" The eldest uncle knew that the emperor was going to investigate strictly, and his legs were already weak with fear.
