Chapter 23 -23 Nangong Lingfei’s Scheme (1)_1
Nangong Lingfei looked momentarily perplexed, “Uncle Shi should know that I don’t have any fine medicinal herbs to offer you.”
“The herbs from Nangong Mansion can’t compare to the Luo family’s in quantity or quality, can they? Do I even need you to send me herbs?” Doctor Luo said irritably.
“Please, Uncle Shi, just tell me what you want.”
“Of course I want whatever Nangong Mansion has the most of.” As the wealthiest family in Dong Chu, Nangong Mansion naturally had the most silver.
The corners of Nangong Lingfei’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, then he ordered Shopkeeper Lin to bring over one thousand taels of silver notes, which Nangong Lingfei handed to Doctor Luo, “Since when has Uncle Shi started caring about worldly possessions?” His tone brimmed with mockery and surprise, for, aside from medicine and medical skill, Uncle Shi had never cared for anything else.
“Whether I care or not is none of your business.” Doctor Luo glared at Nangong Lingfei, “And when did you become so stingy? You should know that just now I…”
“Shopkeeper Lin, bring another two thousand taels of silver notes!” Nangong Lingfei stuffed the three thousand taels of silver notes in Doctor Luo’s hands, “Is that enough now?”
Doctor Luo pocketed the silver notes and promptly gestured for the quietly waiting Yang Mengchen siblings to prepare to leave.
But Nangong Lingfei stepped swiftly in front of them, “Uncle Shi hasn’t introduced this young lady yet?” While he was asking Doctor Luo, his gaze was fixed on Yang Mengchen.
Doctor Luo pulled Yang Mengchen behind him, blocking her from Nangong Lingfei’s view, and said fiercely, “Who she is doesn’t concern you. Don’t even think about laying your hands on her, or else don’t blame me for not taking into account Ye Lin’s (Nangong Lingfei’s father) old friendship!” With that, he hurried away with Yang Mengchen.

The three Yang Chengrong brothers naturally followed closely behind.
Watching Yang Mengchen’s retreating figure, Nangong Lingfei’s eyes shone with the sharp keenness of a hunter eyeing his prey, his lips curling into a smirk that was neither entirely a smile nor a sneer.
He had seen clearly that Uncle Shi had no way of treating the man; it was the young lady who secretly wrote a message on Uncle Shi’s palm. It was after this that Uncle Shi had asked for saltwater to be given to the man to drink. Afterwards, Uncle Shi had also applied needles to the acupoints the young lady had mentioned, thus relieving the man’s poison. In the end, it was the young lady who revealed the cause and the man’s condition.
As for the pills the young lady had mentioned, he believed they must have come from her hands, for if Uncle Shi had truly developed them, he would definitely have made them known to all and not kept them secret as he was doing now.
It seemed the young lady’s medical skills might indeed surpass Uncle Shi’s, but he needed further confirmation. After all, it concerned Ziyu’s life, and he had to be extremely cautious.
Fortunately, Uncle Shi appeared to be on good terms with the young lady, and with Jingrui arriving here tomorrow, Jingrui could probe further.
“Shopkeeper Lin, take that worker to a private room. I, your young master, have some questions for him.”
Doctor Luo’s brow remained furrowed, and his face was as dark as ink until they returned to the second floor of Apricot Forest Hall.
After pouring a cup of tea, Yang Mengchen offered it to Doctor Luo, “Uncle Luo, please have some tea.”
Hearing Yang Mengchen’s voice, Doctor Luo, who had come to his senses, took the teacup. Seeing her worried look, he felt a warmth in his heart, “Little girl, did I frighten you just now?”
“No.” Yang Mengchen shook her head, “I know Uncle Luo is troubled, but brooding over it is ultimately bad for your health. You should relax, as everything will eventually be resolved, won’t it?”
Doctor Luo sighed, “I know that young man destroyed my medicine lodge in a moment of impulsiveness for Yuyu’s sake. It’s just that every time I see that young man, I get angry… Ah, let’s not talk about this anymore. By the way, little girl, take these silver notes.” He took out the three thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to Yang Mengchen.
“This is Drunken Immortal Tavern’s payment to Uncle Luo, I can’t accept it.” Yang Mengchen refused with a wave of her hand.
The three Yang Chengrong brothers also declined.
