What did Han Yunxi tell Mu Ling 'er?
Heaven and earth didn't know. Only the two of them knew.
In any case, Mu Ling 'er's entire being lit up. "Han Yunxi, I believe you!"
Han Yunxi's focus was clearly on the latter part of her sentence. She repeated herself. "It's best if you pretend you don't know anything …"
Mu Ling 'er was in a good mood as she broke into a wicked grin. "What do I know? I don't know a thing! "
Han Yunxi discovered that this girl still looked better when she smiled. She handed her a bottle of medicine. "Hurry and treat that neck wound. Be careful you won't be able to get married if it leaves a scar."
Mu Ling 'er glanced at the bottle with disdain. "No need, I have plenty of medicine."
She was about to leave when she scooted closer to Han Yunxi's ear and murmured, "Han Yunxi, does our agreement from last time still count?"
A few months ago, Han Yunxi had wanted her to challenge His Excellency Pill Fiend at Pill Fiend Pharmacy. Because of the coup in Tianning's capital, Pill Fiend Pharmacy hadn't opened for business yet. Because she'd escaped the Mu Clan's pursuit, the matter had been delayed.
A crafty gleam flashed past Han Yunxi's eyes. She knew that she could basically lure this girl to Pill Fiend Pharmacy now.
She'd admit that she was crafty!
"Of course. Pill Fiend Pharmacy is right next door. It'll open in half a month. After that, you're welcome to come anytime," Han Yunxi smiled.
"Just you wait!"
Mu Ling 'er coolly tossed out these two words before leaving. As for Mu Chaoran, she'd already told Qi Brother to let him off the hook last time at the Mu Clan's medicinal grounds. This time … he could go and die!
With Mu Ling 'er gone and Mu Chaoran unconscious, the Mu Clan guards exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
Han Yunxi didn't speak, but simply smiled at them.
When they saw Qin Wangfei's harmless smile, the guards were so scared that they scrambled away. How could they dare to save Mu Chaoran? The only thing they can do is to quickly report to the Mu Family Head.
She meddled in other people's business and picked up the eldest young master of the Mu family.
Han Yunxi thought, 'Good intentions are rewarded!'
She turned to look at Long Fei Ye. "Your Highness, carry him away."
At this moment, Long Fei Ye felt like he had become a bodyguard who was at the beck and call of this woman.
Of course, the ones who carried Mu Chaoran away were the Shadow Guards.
Long Fei Ye was so obsessed with cleanliness. In this lifetime, he would probably only carry Han Yunxi.
Mu Chaoran was left in Pill Fiend Pharmacy for a day and a night. He hadn't even woken up when Mu Yingdong's handwritten letter arrived via eagle. The tone of the letter was quite rude, stating that the black market business was one thing and the Mu family's business was another. He questioned why Long Fei Ye had meddled in the Mu Clan's business for no reason and accused Long Fei Ye of bullying the weak. He strongly requested that Long Fei Ye immediately release Mu Chaoran. Otherwise, the Mu Clan and Medicine City would accompany him to the end!
Han Yunxi read the letter a total of three times before seriously asking Long Fei Ye, "Your Highness, aren't we going too far?"
"Aren't you here to save someone?" Long Fei Ye retorted.
Han Yunxi nodded seriously. Thus, Long Fei Ye personally wrote a letter to Mu Yingdong via eagle.
When Mu Yingdong received the letter, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Long Fei Ye's reply was as follows.
He said that Mu Ling 'er had been forced to commit suicide. Fortunately, Qin Wangfei had saved her, so the Mu Clan owed Qin Wangfei a life. As for Mu Chaoran, he had been beaten unconscious by his own sister and abandoned by his guards. Qin Wangfei couldn't bear to see him like this and could only rescue him back to Pill Fiend Pharmacy to take care of him. Thus, the Mu Clan owed Qin Wangfei a life. That's a total of two lives, so please keep them in mind.
Mu Yingdong was currently on his way to South Ning Prefecture. Regarding Mu Chaoran's collusion with Zhangsun Zelin to sell rare herbs at a high price in the black market, Mu Yingdong didn't plan to appear personally. He only planned to be the military advisor behind the scenes and let Mu Chaoran talk to Han Yunxi himself.
After all, he had to leave himself a way out. If the negotiations failed, he could still punish Mu Chaoran as the Mu Clan's patriarch and give the world an explanation. At the very least, he could restore the Mu Clan's reputation to a certain extent.
But now, before he even arrived, Mu Chaoran had fallen into Han Yunxi's hands. What was there to talk about?!
Mu Yingdong thought about it for a long time before finally placing all the blame on Mu Ling 'er. If it wasn't for this pampered girl, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.
Pill Fiend Pharmacy had already been completed, so Han Yunxi was extremely busy.
What was she busy with?
Of course, she was tidying up the herbs!
She originally wanted to decorate Pill Fiend Pharmacy, but after taking a stroll around, she found that there was no need for that at all.
Everyone said that simple decorations were fine, but Pill Fiend Pharmacy's decorations were definitely done with great care and effort. Aside from the herbs, any other decorations were superfluous. The storehouse design, on the other hand, was a combination of her original blueprints and many additional details. It could be said to be perfect.
This was Long Fei Ye's style. He always gave the best.
Han Yunxi was so busy that she didn't have time to pay attention to Mu Chaoran. She originally planned to have a good chat with him after he woke up, but who would've thought that Mu Chaoran would sleep for another day and night?
No matter how hard that little girl Mu Ling 'er's fists were, how could she really beat a grown man until he was crippled? How strange!
Under Long Fei Ye's accompaniment, Han Yunxi arrived at the guest room that had "taken in" Mu Chaoran. She saw the bruised and swollen Mu Chaoran lying on the bed without any signs of waking up.
Xu Donglin, who was in charge of guarding the room, asked in a low voice, "Esteemed wangfei, did you hurt your head?"
Han Yunxi deliberately walked closer and stared at his face. She shouted, "Bring a basin of ice water!"
Mu Chaoran didn't react at all. It didn't seem like he was faking it.
Xu Donglin was just about to leave when Long Fei Ye said, "Hot water, the hottest."
His voice wasn't loud, but it shocked Mu Chaoran so much that his eyes widened in fright.
"You're awake?" Han Yunxi smiled happily.
Mu Chaoran was about to cry. He had woken up a long time ago. He knew that he was being held captive, so he pretended to be asleep. He hoped that his father would quickly send someone over. But even after pretending for so long, his father still hadn't sent anyone.
What should he do? Only the heavens knew why these two great Buddhas were holding him captive.
"Are you hungry?" Han Yunxi asked kindly.
How could he not be hungry? Mu Chaoran was so hungry that he almost fainted. But Han Yunxi's smile was his nightmare. "Esteemed wangfei, we can discuss everything. I'm begging you, let's … not fight."
"Xu Donglin, bring him some porridge. Only when he's full will he have the strength to talk!"
After being hungry for so long, eating porridge that was easy to digest wouldn't hurt his stomach. Han Yunxi was still very kind. She and Long Fei Ye sat down at a nearby tea table and waited.
Mu Chaoran felt as if he had been granted amnesty. His heart that was hanging in the air finally calmed down. As long as they didn't fight, everything could be discussed! He peacefully ate the porridge.
Han Yunxi thought that Mu Chaoran would wolf down the porridge, but who knew that this fellow would be able to chew slowly after being hungry for two days and two nights!
Xu Donglin handed him a second bowl, but he actually refused. He even asked, "Give me another bowl in two hours."
Han Yunxi felt admiration. This fellow really cherished his life!
Alright, they could talk now.
"How many types of low grade high quality herbs does your Mu Family have?" Han Yunxi went straight to the point.
Mu Chaoran was very surprised, "Esteemed wangfei, why …"
"We're just casually chatting." Han Yunxi said with a smile as she played with a leaf in her hand.
Seeing this, Mu Chaoran's curiosity disappeared and he quickly replied, "There are the most low grade high quality herbs. There are around two hundred and seventy types of high quality herbs in the main category. There are at least five or six types of high quality herbs in each main category."
As soon as his voice fell, a leaf flew over and brushed past Mu Chaoran's hand, leaving behind a shallow bloodstain.
Mu Chaoran was frightened and quickly changed his words, "The Mu Family has a total of three hundred types of low grade high quality herbs. Thirty of them are unique to the Mu Family and the Xie and Wang Families can't grow them. If we subdivide these thirty types, there are ten types of high quality herbs in each category. "
Ever since he wanted to buy low grade high quality herbs, Long Fei Ye had asked Elder Wang about it. Although Elder Wang didn't know how many the Mu Family had, he still knew that the Mu Family had quite a few unique herbs.
Mu Chaoran wanted to lie, but he was simply asking for trouble!
Han Yunxi acted as if nothing had happened. She smiled and asked, "What's the price?"
When she said this, Mu Chaoran was pleasantly surprised, "Esteemed wangfei needs it? As soon as this one returns to the Mu Family, I'll immediately send over a large batch. I guarantee esteemed wangfei will be satisfied! "
Mu Chaoran's pig brain couldn't even get in touch with Pill Fiend Pharmacy. But it wasn't his fault. Pill Fiend Pharmacy walked the high-end route of Medicine Ghost Valley. Why would it want low quality herbs?
"How could I ask for them for free? Just give me a cheaper price. How about this, list out the prices for each type of herb. If there's a need, this wangfei will send someone to buy them, "Han Yunxi said politely.
Thus, Mu Chaoran thought himself clever.
Tianning's in chaos, he thought, so there's bound to be chaos soon. When that happens, there'll be a lot of casualties. Medicinal ingredients will be in short supply. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye must be planning to stock up on medicinal ingredients.
Although it was a bit expensive to use high quality herbs, they could still afford to use low quality ones.
He assumed that Han Yunxi had seized the opportunity to detain him so she could haggle over the price!
Just like that, Mu Chaoran listed an extremely low price that was close to the cost of production. There was no profit at all.
Han Yunxi glanced at the price and was very satisfied.
Seeing that Han Yunxi was satisfied, Mu Chaoran felt reassured. As long as she could let him go, he didn't mind making less money or even losing money.
"Esteemed wangfei, if there's nothing else, then … this one will take his leave?" Mu Chaoran said timidly. "The sooner this one returns to the Mu Clan, the better to personally prepare the goods for esteemed wangfei."
"We'll be working together for a long time, so there's no rush. In any case, your father should be here in a couple of days. You can go back with him then, "Han Yunxi said with a smile.
Mu Chaoran was stunned. For a moment, he didn't understand what Han Yunxi meant.
There was too much information in those words!
What long term cooperation? His father was coming in person?
Two days later, Mu Yingdong didn't show up. Instead, it was the Wang Clan's Second Master Wang Zhongyang, the Xie Clan's Eldest Young Master Xie Hongming, and the Mu Clan's Shopkeeper Zhou who showed up.
The Wang and Xie Clans were all involved in the black market's drug trade, while Shopkeeper Zhou was only a servant.
His Highness Duke of Qin and esteemed wangfei kept the Wang and Xie Clans' people and allowed Shopkeeper Zhou to return.
His Highness Duke of Qin was very angry. "Either the person involved or the clan head comes. What does a trifling shopkeeper want to talk to this prince about?"
Esteemed wangfei was very understanding. "Eldest Young Master Mu is already at Pill Fiend Pharmacy, so there's no need for the Mu Clan to send anyone."
Mu Yingdong, who was hiding in the inn, was caught between a rock and a hard place. He had no choice but to personally show up and become the only clan head of Medicine City's three clans to show up. He was so depressed that he almost died.
Now that the three clans had all arrived, how would this deal be discussed?
How would the clueless Mu Chaoran react when he saw his father?
