Capítulo 1688: Chapter 1689: Complaining Profusely

“No, no way, how could it be poison? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it.” Shopkeeper Liu shook his head repeatedly, backing away several steps.

Even though Shopkeeper Liu had some suspicions in his heart, knowing that the pills given to him by the three women that day were most likely poisonous, he was afraid of taking responsibility. Even if the medicine wasn’t poisonous, Shopkeeper Liu still wouldn’t dare to admit that he was the one who dispensed the medicine for Mrs. An.

Xue Chu stepped forward, grabbed Shopkeeper Liu by the collar and lifted him up. Shopkeeper Liu’s feet suddenly left the ground, and he trembled with fear, his speech becoming a bit unstable, “Xue, what do you want? I warn you, there are laws in this world, don’t think you can bully me just because you have martial arts!” While speaking, Shopkeeper Liu noticed a few more strong men entering the pharmacy.

Seeing the few men coming in, Shopkeeper Liu was like seeing reinforcements, he called for help in surprise, “Help, help, brothers, someone here is trying to rob and harm me, quick, quick, come and help me catch him.” After calling for help, he saw that the newcomers were looking at him expressionlessly without any intention of helping.

Trying to get away from Xue Chu and to distance himself from the prescription, Shopkeeper Liu said, “Brothers, as long as you save me today, I’ll give you however much silver you want. Ten taels? Twenty taels? Fifty taels, brothers, as long as you save me, I can give each of you fifty taels of silver.” Shopkeeper Liu, usually calculative about even a copper coin, painfully offered fifty taels to each of them for self-preservation.

Shopkeeper Liu thought that by offering silver, those men would definitely help him, such a bargain, if it were him, he would do it too.

However, Shopkeeper Liu didn’t expect that despite his promise of fifty taels, the men still looked at him expressionlessly, and even the two other men who just came in didn’t seem to have any intention of helping.

Shopkeeper Liu was baffled, and just as he was about to speak, Xue Chu threw him to the ground, “Shopkeeper Liu, I advise you to save your energy. We are all here on orders from Young Master Gu to protect Madam Gu. If you tell the truth today, you might avoid suffering, but if you keep lying like before, don’t blame our fists for not recognizing people.” Xue Chu made a fist gesture, scaring Shopkeeper Liu who backed away in fright.

Looking up again at Xue Chu and the men behind him, Shopkeeper Liu felt chills in his heart. It’s over, it’s over, these people are all with Xue Chu. What to do? What should he do?

Shopkeeper Liu thought of ways to escape, regretting not taking the money from those three women and running earlier.

If it weren’t for those women’s generosity, he wouldn’t have taken the risk to help them back then. Fifty taels of gold! That money was enough for him to open another pharmacy in Yangcheng. Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥

“Shopkeeper Liu, what do you see this as?” Su Yunjin took out a token from her bosom, given to her by the old princess of Qi Residence last year.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the words “Prince Qi Residence” on the token, immediately breaking out in cold sweat, “Madam Gu, you… you’re from Prince Qi Residence?”

How could he be so unlucky!

What a coincidence to have provoked Prince Qi Residence.

Shopkeeper Liu cried bitterly in his heart.
