t wants you to know that girl isn't a bad person. Don't take it to heart if she throws a tantrum."When she marries and leaves home, she won't bother you anymore.Fang Jinxiu was startled and raised her...When treating Miss Zhao's fifth daughter, Fang Jinshi didn't drive anyone away. Although she could have woken the girl up with a few needles, she deliberately acted as if she was accidentally taking out good things from her space.

and kept muttering to himself.

"Not this one." She tossed the ginseng, about the size of her palm, onto the table and immediately pulled out another perfectly preserved Ganoderma lucidum.

He took a glance, then tossed it away. "Not this one either."

Then came a series of rare and difficult-to-harvest medicinal herbs, such as Chinese tulip tree, goldenthread, safflower, and rehmannia.

All the Zhao family members present were dumbfounded. Zhao, the housekeeper, swallowed nervously, sensing that this person was not ordinary. He quickly regained his composure and ordered someone to inform the master.

Miss Zhao, the fifth daughter of the Zhao family, was very pampered at home. As soon as news of her fainting spread, many other members of the Zhao family rushed to the courtyard.

That includes Zhao Xingzhou.

The servant, having received orders to go find the master, was stopped by Zhao Xingzhou.

"Young Master Nine, Zhao the steward said that the woman inside is no ordinary person. Every medicinal herb she pulled out was incredibly rare and precious. It's likely she has many more such herbs on her person."

It's best not to call the old master. What if this woman cures Fifth Miss and then leaves Then Zhao family would suffer a loss, wouldn't it

Although the maid kept this thought to herself, Zhao Xingzhou smiled slyly.

She had gone to great lengths to get into the Zhao family, she wouldn't leave so easily.

Zhao Xingzhou told the servant boy not to look for his father; he wanted to meet Fang Jinshi himself.

Zhao Guan, the steward, waited for a long time but the master didn't arrive. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw to his surprise, the Ninth Young Master.

"Young Master, how did you get here"

Zhao Xingzhou didn't even give him a glance. "My father is very busy. He wouldn't have time for this trivial matter."

Zhao, the manager, just wanted to say that this probably wasn't a small matter. Someone who could pull out several valuable medicinal herbs at random, even some that their Zhao family apothecary didn't have, couldn't possibly be a small matter

If they let this woman leave, it would be the greatest loss to their Zhao family.

Zhao Xingzhou said, "Uncle Zhao, my father has agreed to let me handle both big and small matters in the family business. I know what you want to do, leave this to me, don't worry about it."

"All of you, get out."

Zhao, the manager, hesitated for a moment. Although Ninth Young Master was intelligent and quick-witted from a young age, his temper was truly eccentric, and he was still quite young. Zhao was afraid that things would be messed up, and if the old master found out, he would surely be furious.

Zhao Xingzhou impatiently furrowed his brow, "This woman is merely a peasant from the countryside. She may not know the true value of the herbs in her hand."

"You made such a big fuss and even brought my father here, isn't that to tell her clearly that you have something valuable on you and can ask for anything"

"If I were to handle this, it would be different. I could definitely lure all the good things from her hands at the lowest price."

When Zhao the Butler heard this, he nodded in agreement. It seemed he had underestimated his young master; what he said made sense.

The two thought their whispered conversation was so quiet that no one inside would hear.

However, Fang Jinshu didn't expect that after drinking the spring water for a long time, his hearing and vision would become several times more sensitive than ordinary people. Even his reputation could be heard.

She glared coldly at the surroundings.

Fang Jinshi patted his arm.

"Don't worry, it's not certain who will end up losing out in the end."

"When did you ever see your wife suffer a loss"

She loves to eat everything, but she hates being taken advantage of, especially when dealing with those who try to scheme against her.

Miss Zhao, the fifth daughter, woke up soon after Fang Jinshu's treatment. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a tall and imposing man standing by the bed, with a frightening and hideous scar on his face.

She didn't even have time to see the person's true features before she screamed in fright and scrambled under the bed.

Fāng Jǐnxiù sat on the other side. The fifth young lady probably hadn't noticed her, so she hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"Miss Wu, do you remember fainting at your front door I'm a doctor who happened to be passing by and was invited in to treat you."

"This is my husband, don't be afraid, he's not a bad person."

Miss Five's scream brought all the Zhao family members guarding outside rushing in. Zhao Xingzhou, with a somber face, pushed the door open and his first words were:

"How dare you, what did you do to my sister"

Fang Jinshi wanted to buy some things from the Zhao family to exchange for silver, that was true. But it didn't mean she was inferior to them or trying to please them.

The moment Zhao Xingzhou appeared, she recognized the rascal. She didn't even bother to be surprised, only wrinkling her nose in disgust.

"When you invited us in to treat the Fifth Miss, your attitude wasn't like this at all. You Zhao family, could it be that you are all so ungrateful"such thing as a free lunch. We’re the ones who need their help. Even Jinxiu said that digging the canal here won't affect your access to water. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with!”Shoul...
