Chapter 217 - 217 The Real Daughter and the Fake (1)



She needed to concoct some medicine for the patient, but perhaps because she was used to using Physician Fu’s herbs, she felt that the quality of herbs in the shops was not satisfactory.

They walked all the way to the end of Scholar Street and finally found a suitable pharmacy.

There were many types of herbs, and the quality was not bad.

!!

As for the price…

It was wishful thinking to try and get it cheap in the capital.

Su Xiaoxiao picked a few herbs and went to the counter to settle the bill.

Ordinary people came to buy medicine with prescriptions. Only Su Xiaoxiao would concoct them herself.

The medicine boy looked at her strangely. Seeing that she had bought ordinary healing herbs and that they were not expensive, and considering she was not a big client, he did not ask further.

“Five taels,” the medicine boy said.

Su Xiaoxiao took out silver. “Please wrap it up.”

The medicine boy went to pack the medicine.

Su Xiaoxiao waited patiently at the counter.

Ordinary people wouldn’t wait quietly and would walk around the shop again. Su Xiaoxiao, however, would focus on waiting.

Qin Yanran entered the pharmacy at this moment.

She was wearing a gorgeous dress and a beautiful jade golden hairpin. There was a white jade tassel around her waist.

She was wearing a veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

Such a noble lady was rare in the capital. It was not that there were no noble women in the capital, but with her appearance and bearing, she was at least the daughter of a first-grade duke.

The shopkeeper hurriedly put down his work and personally walked out to welcome her with a smile. “May I ask if this girl wants to get medicine or hire a physician…”

Qin Yanran said warmly, “I got someone to order a thousand-year-old ginseng at your shop last time. I wonder if you have it?”

The shopkeeper patted his head. “Ah, did you order the thousand-year-old ginseng? It just arrived this morning! I kept it for you! I’ll go get it for you now!”

The shopkeeper ran faster than he was rushing to be reincarnated.

The maidservant beside Qin Yanran chuckled.

Qin Yanran frowned slightly. “Xing’er, don’t laugh.”

“No, Miss. Look.” Xing’er pointed in the direction of the counter.

Qin Yanran followed her finger and saw Su Xiaoxiao waiting quietly.

Xing’er whispered, “Miss, she’s so fat.”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her calmly and Xing’er was shocked.

Qin Yanran met Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze and nodded in apology. “I’m sorry, my servant has acted inappropriately. Miss, please don’t take it to heart.”

“The medicine is ready.” The medicine boy handed the wrapped medicine bag to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the medicine bag and ignored Qin Yanran as she left the medicine shop.

Xing’er muttered, “Miss, why is she like this? She actually ignored you when you spoke to her?”

“Miss, your thousand-year-old ginseng!” The shopkeeper held a brocade box with both hands and walked over with a smile.

He looked at the green-faced Xing’er and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”

“Nothing,” Qin Yanran said. “Xing’er.”

Xing’er took the brocade box.

Her young lady’s status was precious. It was impossible for her to personally accept something handed over by a commoner.

Qin Yanran paid and brought Xing’er into the carriage.

She instructed the coachman, “Go to the Marquis of Zhenbei.”

In the evening, Su Xiaoxiao had just finished brewing the medicine when Su Mo’s coachman came.

“Miss Su, the Old Marquis is awake. Physician Fu wants you to go over.”

“Got it.”

Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Cheng, who was cultivating in the front yard, “Dad, I’ll go out for a while.”

Su Cheng recognized the coachman and knew that she was going to treat Old Master Su’s father. He didn’t object and only reminded Su Xiaoxiao to come back early.

Su Xiaoxiao brought the medicine to the Marquis Mansion.

She looked at the unconscious Old Marquis on the bed. “Was he awake?”

Physician Fu coughed lightly. “He did wake up just now. If you don’t believe me, ask Little Quanzi.”

Little Quanzi was the servant who took care of the old marquis.

Little Quanzi hurriedly said, “Yes, Miss Su, it’s just that… he fell asleep again after a while.”

Su Mo was not around.

He should have gone to investigate the matter of the Old Marquis being poisoned.

He did not spread the news and secretly investigated. He even asked Physician Fu to keep quiet about it.

Su Xiaoxiao took the Old Marquis’s pulse and looked at his pupils. “How’s his blood pressure?”

“His blood pressure has risen a little,” Physician Fu said and yawned.

...

Among the people in the group to the capital, Physician Fu was the weakest. He woke up early today…

Su Xiaoxiao said to him, “I’ll keep watch here tonight. Go back and rest.”

Physician Fu hurriedly said, “No need, no need. I’ll just watch over him.”
