Chapter 98: Sudden Encounter with Injustice

In a sense, what Chun'er said was true.

Lu Rou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

The previous incident had already upset Brother Yun'an and Old Lady Shen. If there was any more trouble, it would be unknown when she could enter the mansion.

Even though she was favored by Brother Yun'an, she had no status and was always a joke in the eyes of others.

Just like Chun'er, a maid who was once a lowly servant, dared to mock her like this.

But at this time, for the sake of the future situation, she had to endure it.

Thinking of this, Lu Rou said to Chun'er viciously.

"Chun'er, don't be too proud. After all, even if you entered the mansion earlier than me, you are just a concubine."

"Since I am in this mansion, I will eventually enter the mansion. At that time, you will know who has the final say in this mansion."

Seeing Lu Rou leave in a rage, Chun'er became more and more disdainful.

She knew that Lu Rou would eventually enter the mansion, and that was why she didn't want to miss any opportunity to ridicule her.

Besides, even if Lu Rou entered the mansion, there were still the Madam and the old lady above.

How could Lu Rou be more powerful than them?

Just listening to the noise just now, plus her previous observation.

Obviously, Shen Nu was Lu Rou's child, but Lu Rou looked like she hated him to the core, but she treated the young master born by the Madam so differently.

If Lu Rou wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Madam was not in the mansion to murder the young master, it was not impossible.

No matter what the reason was, Chun'er firmly believed that there must be something strange in it. If she could find the reason, she could tell the Madam the whole story.

In the future, even if Lu Rou entered the mansion, she could rely on the Madam.

Meanwhile, Xu Yuan was about to leave after buying the medicinal materials. Before he stepped out of the clinic, he heard a noise coming from inside.

"Madam, something seems to have happened inside?"

Cui Liu looked inside, and Xu Yuan just responded lightly, not very interested in other things.

But at this moment, a man rushed out and

blocked Xu Yuan's way first.

Then the assistant who prepared the medicine and the doctor of the clinic followed closely behind.

"What are you doing?"

Cui Liu saw that something was wrong and immediately wanted to protect Xu Yuan behind her.

"Madam, I am the shopkeeper of this clinic. Can you share half of the herbs you bought? There is someone who needs treatment right now."

Cui Liu heard this and said angrily before Xu Yuan could answer, "You are really ridiculous as a shopkeeper."

"It's not that we haven't paid for these herbs, but you are so good that you want them back and put on such a posture."

Cui Liu took the lead in this matter, "Why, if my wife doesn't give them to you, do you still want to rob them?"

She didn't believe that such a big clinic would be short of these herbs.

"This..."

The shopkeeper who was speaking wanted to say something, but saw that many passers-by had gathered around because of the commotion just now, and they all wanted to see what happened.

The shopkeeper said to Xu Yuan with an apologetic look, "Madam, I have no ill intentions, but the herb you bought is the key herb to treat the nobleman inside."

"The situation is urgent now, and the remaining herbs are gone. I have no other choice."

The shopkeeper said helplessly. If the situation was not critical, he would not be so reckless.

At this time, a man dressed as a guard came out from inside. After hearing what the shopkeeper said, his eyes fell on the herb bag Xu Yuan was carrying.

"Madam, can you sell us some of the herbs? I am willing to pay ten times or even a hundred times the silver to buy them."

"Since I came out to buy these herbs, if I give them to you, what about the people I need?"

Xu Yuan asked these people.

The shopkeeper was also very embarrassed, but the servant who was picking up the herbs next to him did not agree.

"Madam, you have been calm and composed from beginning to end. If the situation is really urgent, how could you be like this?"

"Shut up! How can you talk like that!"

The shopkeeper spoke first and scolded the servant who was picking up the herbs.

He also knew that this matter could not be forced. "Forget it, I'll see if I can use other herbs instead."

Seeing the shopkeeper's words, Xu Yuan slowly asked, "What you need is the Guixing root."

The shopkeeper was stunned, and when Xu Yuan asked proactively, he nodded quickly, "That's right, madam, I only need a small piece, it won't delay you."

"If you are willing, I am willing to return all the money you spent on buying the medicine. If you need this herb in the future, I will provide it to you as soon as possible."

The shopkeeper said sincerely. This Guixing root is used to treat blood deficiency. Because of the harsh growing conditions, it is not common in Beijing.

"I'll go with you to take a look?"

Xu Yuan said. She also wanted to see who needed this Guixing root and made such a fuss.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and after hearing Xu Yuan's words, he became a little uncertain.

"Madam, do you mean you agree?"

Xu Yuan nodded.

"Take me to take a look first."

The shopkeeper was relieved after hearing this definite answer, and quickly took the person to the inner room.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of blood. I saw a child of seven or eight years old lying on the step, with a pale face and a weak breath.

"The Guixing root you want is used on this child?"

Xu Yuan asked the shopkeeper.

There was a guard standing on both sides of the couch, holding a sword in their hands. Just one look, you can tell that the child lying on the couch is not ordinary.

The shopkeeper was puzzled by Xu Yuan's words, and was worried that she would suddenly regret after agreeing, so he told her about the child's symptoms.

"Madam, you just agreed, could it be..."

The shopkeeper asked Xu Yuan with uncertainty.

The guards in the room looked at Xu Yuan, obviously dissatisfied with her hesitation.

"Madam, I think we should leave, these people look ferocious."

Cui Liu stood beside Xu Yuan and reminded in a low voice.

Even she could see that the identity of this child was not ordinary. If something really happened, and Madam was here, she might be involved.

"Shopkeeper, I will not go back on my promise, but using Guixing root will not only fail to relieve the child's symptoms, but may also kill him."

Xu Yuan replied.

Her words instantly changed the faces of everyone present.

One of the guards saw Xu Yuan like this and immediately said angrily, "You are so bold that you dare to curse my master to kill him. Since you promised to give Guixing root, just give it to him quickly. The rest has nothing to do with you."

"If there is a problem with the medicinal materials used, it has nothing to do with it?"

Xu Yuan looked at these people and then asked.

"Besides, Guixing root is used to treat blood deficiency. Although this child has some symptoms, the root cause of his coma is poisoning."

"Poisoning?"

The shopkeeper looked stunned and looked at Xu Yuan, "Madam, do you know medicine?"
