Chapter 364: Zhao Jiuyé

iaocǎo said that Village Chief Zhào passed away.Her voice caught in her throat, becoming noticeably husky."It was me."The familiar voice also startled Tiezhu behind the door, but only for a few second...Fāng Jǐnxiù raised an eyebrow. This Dr. Zhōng is so arrogant, does his boss, the Zhào family, know about this

"That won't do, Dr. Zhong. If I could be treated elsewhere, why would I come to you"

That person was also quite helpless. He went to three clinics and took a lot of herbal medicine, but it didn't have much effect. Only the prescription given by Dr. Zhong worked.

Doctor Ke Zhong's prescription included ginseng slices, which were very expensive. A single slice cost half a tael of silver, and ten slices would cost five taels.

Besides all those other miscellaneous medications, getting a prescription can practically drain half their life force.

Such an expensive medicine, drinking it continuously for two or three months, would drain his family's savings.

By then, the illness will have been cured, and his house will be completely emptied.

In the end, that person still compromised and agreed to get a prescription. As soon as he stepped out the door, Fang Jinshi intercepted him, pulling him aside like a street vendor selling two-bit medicine, and whispered in his ear...

"Brother, I also have high-quality ginseng slices here. The price is much cheaper than Andantang. Would you like to take a look"

This big brother should have been forced to do this, he's really short on money. He just hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Fāng Jǐn xiù pretended to take ginseng slices from her pocket, but actually reached into space and took out several pieces of previously defective ginseng root whiskers.

To her, she was a defective product, with poor looks. To the man in front of her, she was a life-saving medicine.

Even if it was crude, the medicine in her hand had a much higher dosage than what he currently held.

Fang Jinshu used the excuse of checking the dosage to look into the man's medicine bag. In reality, she wanted to see what kind of prescription Dr. Zhong had given him.

The prescription itself is targeted, but the ginseng slices are merely an embellishment. They're not crucial to curing the illness; adding or omitting them doesn't make much of a difference.

Just now, Doctor Zhong insisted that the patient buy ginseng slices to take. This is clearly deceiving people's money.

If left unchecked, this man would be the next Li Yuanchun. Fang Jinxiu felt a twinge of pity and, unnoticed by anyone, slipped an extra herb into his pocket.

A little bit of scrap from the white lingzhi mushroom.

That would be enough to cure this man's illness. She could even cure her mother-in-law's severe tuberculosis, so this man's minor ailment was nothing.

"Alright, sir, you can withdraw your ginseng from An Tang. My ginseng slices only cost thirty coins. Drink this medicine and I guarantee you won't need to come back to An Tang."

Fang Jinxiu thought that no one would notice this little movement of hers.

The attendants in the pharmacy were all busy, no one noticed her behavior. People who came to get medicine or see a doctor were not feeling well and wouldn't have the energy to pay attention to what was going on around them.

Unbeknownst to him, there was someone who had witnessed Fang Jinshi's every move, a smirk playing on their lips.

"Master Nine, this woman is openly stealing business from our clinic. Should I go and chase her away"

The young man, known as the Ninth Lord, raised his hand. "No need, let her sell."

His voice was exceptionally low and magnetic, with a pair of smiling phoenix eyes that sparkled and danced. Though he had a man's face, his attire was deliberately understated.

But every man and woman who passed him would unconsciously glance at him, followed by a brief expression of absentmindedness.

Nine Ye's subordinates had already deliberately blocked most people's sight, but some fairies were born with an irresistible charm.

The ninth son of the Zhao family, Zhao Xingzhou, is known as the Ninth Master.

Every smile and frown of the man could captivate people's souls. Zhao Xingzhou's servant, who had been serving him since he was a child, had finally developed some immunity to his master's beauty.

Bystanders wouldn't have such patience.

The stranger's gaze fell upon Zhao Xingzhou's face, only to see his brows furrowed, revealing a hint of impatience and disgust.

At that moment, Fang Jinshu also sent the man away. As she turned her head, she had an old feeling that someone was staring at her. Her gaze followed that feeling and found its source.

Bu Qiran and Zhao Xingzhou's gazes met. Zhao Xingzhou, who had been secretly observing the other person, was caught red-handed. Instead of feeling embarrassed, he was slightly stunned when he saw Fang Jinxiu's face, and then smiled at her.

Fang Jinshi's reaction was far beyond Zhao Xingzhou's expectations. From a young age, the first person he met, regardless of gender, would be momentarily stunned. Those with weak willpower might even stare at him intently, unable to look away.

But the woman across from him, her gaze only lingered on his face for a moment before looking away. It seemed, it seemed like she even rolled her eyes, her expression was quite disgusted

Seeing Fang Jinxiu's reaction, it was Zhao Xingzhou who was stunned. After reacting, he smiled and licked his lips.After all, she was a former minister, could she possibly publicly retaliate against them in front of everyoneBut Zong Pingchuan's sudden appearance today made the alarm bells in her head ring wildly.P...
