"Well, did you see it clearly?"
The burly man asked Ye Jintang impatiently.
"This prescription was indeed written by my Huishengtang, and there is no problem with the herbs and dosages."
"So you're saying 'no problem'? Listen to this, everyone! You're still making excuses even now!"
"Miss Ye, don't try to fool us by saying we don't know anything about medicine. I asked around for the prescription and it's fine, but what about this?"
The burly man was clearly prepared, as he took out a package from his pocket.
Unfolding the items revealed several medicinal herbs, and a gasp of surprise came from somewhere.
"Look, these medicinal herbs have gone moldy."
"Impossible. I check the medicinal materials every few days, and there is absolutely no chance of them getting moldy."
Zhou Zheng said angrily, "First you said it was the prescription, and now you say the herbs are moldy. Who are you doing this to you? Why are you framing me like this!"
"What do you mean by being instructed by someone? That's utter nonsense!"
"In short, this matter is not over until you provide a solution today."
"How do you want to resolve this?"
Ye Jintang realized that reasoning with these people wouldn't work.
Special people should be dealt with in a special way.
"One thousand taels!"
"Adding to our losses over the past few days, it totals two thousand taels."
"Pah!"
Zhou Zheng glared angrily at the two men, finding them utterly shameless.
"So you're saying you're not planning to wake this person up?"
Ye Jintang said.
"What do you mean?"
One of the burly men looked at Ye Jintang warily.
"What if I could find a way to wake your brother up?"
"You?"
The burly man shuddered, his tone filled with disdain, "Miss Ye, even if you have a way, we don't believe you. Who knows if you'll use moldy herbs again?"
"That's right, if we don't get two thousand taels today, we'll never let this Huisheng Hall rest!"
“Miss, these two are clearly here to cause trouble. Why don’t you go inside first and we’ll deal with them?”
Having witnessed the shamelessness of these two men, Zhou Zheng decided not to waste any more words.
Since reasoning with them is useless, we might as well pick up our weapons and fight them.
"No rush, they'll be here soon."
Ye Jintang narrowed her eyes slightly. Since they dared to cause trouble at her Huisheng Hall, they would have to pay a price.
"people?"
Zhou Zheng was taken aback, clearly not understanding what Ye Jintang meant.
However, compared to before, the green lotus that was originally there has disappeared.
Could it be that you mean these, Miss?
Just as Zhou Zheng was puzzled by this, he saw soldiers coming towards him.
Those passersby who loved watching the drama wouldn't dare linger any longer once they saw the government officials; they all retreated to the side to secretly observe the situation.
"Who dares to ask for two thousand taels of silver so arrogantly?"
The prefect's voice came, and the two burly men exchanged glances when they saw the newcomer, clearly not expecting the government officials to appear.
"Miss." When the prefect arrived with his soldiers, Lühe returned to Ye Jintang's side.
Ye Jintang gave a soft "hmm," and then the prefect stepped forward, saying, "This humble official greets Miss Ye."
“Your Excellency, you must have heard what these two men said just now. Their intention was definitely not to wake this person up.”
"Please rest assured, Miss Ye, this matter will be handled by me."
The prefect cupped his hands in greeting, showing no disrespect whatsoever to Ye Jintang's words.
You should know that someone who possesses the Regent's token is someone that a mere prefect like him cannot afford to offend.
"What are you waiting for? Take those two, and the rest of the people on the ground, away from me!"
Upon the prefect's order, the soldiers immediately surrounded the area.
"Your Excellency, you cannot show such favoritism towards Ye Jintang simply because of his different status!"
"That's not fair!"
"The truth of the matter will be investigated by the authorities. However, if you do not cooperate now, your crime will be compounded!"
"What are you waiting for? Take it!"
As the soldiers drew closer, the burly man behind suddenly rushed to a passerby and grabbed the man's neck tightly.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him right now!"
"mean!"
Woof woof woof!
The big white dog barked incessantly at the burly man.
[What a shameless person!]
"Big White".
At Ye Jintang's command, Da Bai rushed out. The two burly men were startled. The one in the back reacted first, shoving the man towards Da Bai and running away.
Fortunately, the passerby was not in any danger; one was subdued while the other escaped.
"Split up and chase after him! Make sure you catch this man for me!"
"As for the rest, I will take them back with me later."
Those present were clearly shocked by this turn of events. Who would have thought that the burly man known as the boss would use another person as a shield while he himself fled in disarray?
"Prefect, you only took me away, but what about her?"
The man pointed in Ye Jintang's direction and said defiantly.
"My third brother is indeed still unconscious because of their Huishengtang clinic."
"Does Ye Jintang bear absolutely no responsibility?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, even if we are to take them away, shouldn't all the people from Huishengtang be taken away as well?"
Ye Jintang remained remarkably calm in the face of this person's accusations.
“I told you this matter has nothing to do with my Huishengtang, but this person has already woken up, let alone been unconscious.”
"woke up?"
...
News of the Huishengtang incident quickly reached Su Xuerou.
"How did things go?"
Seeing the returning maid, Su Xuerou asked her a question.
"Please rest assured, Miss Su, everything is proceeding according to plan."
“Once things escalate, Huishengtang will inevitably be shut down.”
"But the master asked me to ask you if you really want to protect Wang Bao, because the investigation shows that he is not a good person."
"As long as they can be used by me and cause trouble for Ye Jintang, so what if they are not good people?"
"This servant understands."
After the maid left, Su Xuerou finally revealed a smug smile.
She wanted to see how Ye Jintang would clear his name this time.
The so-called "secondary wife" ultimately lacks the prestige of the position of the mistress of the house.
Now that Su Xuerou has returned to the capital with Jiang Mubai, how could she be willing to be subservient to someone else?
"Has the Marquis returned yet?" Su Xuerou asked the maids around her.
"The Marquis returned to the Marquis's residence within an hour and should be in his study handling matters now."
Su Xuerou nodded and then headed towards the study.
Such a big thing happened to Ye Jintang, how can it be that only she knows about it?
She needed to make Jiang Mubai completely despise Su Xuerou before she could safely proceed to the next step.
In the study.
Jiang Mubai was anxious about his mother's coma.
Almost half a month has passed since the last time, and not only is that wicked woman Ye Jintang unwilling to come back, but even her own mother shows no signs of waking up no matter how many doctors they have consulted.
And those strange insects...
