Chapter 430: A woman who knows how to be charming is wonderful.
After meal.
Fang Xiaoxiao chuckled and stood up from her chair, looking very tired.
"A good meal and a good night's sleep are truly one of life's greatest pleasures!"
"My younger sister is quite the carefree one, which makes me, as her older sister, quite envious. But could you please confirm the sale of the medicine prescription with me first?"
"Oh, sister, I almost forgot about the prescription if you hadn't mentioned it."
"Oh, my sister is so humorous! I've just thought about it and I feel that giving you thirty taels is really too low. I've decided to use sixty taels to buy the Banlangen prescription you have. I wonder if you would accept that?"
As if making a huge decision, the woman took out a silver note with sixty taels written on it from her purse and placed it on the table.
Fang Xiaoxiao glanced at it briefly before turning her attention away from the banknotes and instead looking at the man directly opposite her.
Seeing that the man made no move, she knew that the only person in charge was the fat woman in front of her.
Sixty taels of silver was a pittance for her now, so she might as well not take it.
So she decided not to agree today.
Fang Xiao smiled and said.
"Sister, let me discuss the prescription with my husband when I get back. We can make a decision after he agrees. For now, I'll just buy some medicinal herbs from you!"
"Saving lives is urgent. Several of my sister's friends are also suffering from this plague and need to wait for my sister to buy medicine to treat them."
He tells lies without a hint of guilt.
Fang Xiaoxiao took out a list of medicinal herbs she had prepared beforehand from her bosom and handed it to the man.
The fat woman was not happy about this.
What does she mean by this? We've already eaten there, and we even doubled the price ourselves, so why are we disagreeing now?
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Dr. Wan, are you home? Please come quickly and check on my young lady! She has contracted the plague!"
The person speaking outside the door seemed very anxious and flustered, even banging on the door as if using all their strength.
The door made a loud "bang" sound as the other party pounded on it.
The man who was called Doctor Fang quickly stood up.
The young lady the man knocking on the door was referring to was Su Murong, the beloved daughter of the richest man in Suzhou, and their family had a very good relationship with the Su family.
When Wan Wuyao first arrived in Suzhou, if it weren't for the help of the old master of the Su family, there probably wouldn't be the Wan Family Pharmacy we have today.
Wan Wuyao hurriedly walked to the door and took off the bolt.
As soon as the door opened, the Su family's butler anxiously reached out and grabbed him, pulling him outside.
Wan Wuyao quickly said to Fang Xiaoxiao behind him.
"Madam Fang, you should come along too, and take some Banlangen with you."
Fang Xiaoxiao pulled the princess along, leaving Wan Wuyao's wife standing alone in place.
After everyone left, Wan Wuyao's wife slammed her fist on the table in anger.
"Why did this have to happen of all times? The Su family really knows how to pick their timing!"
……
Su Mansion.
A four-courtyard house, covering an area comparable to three football fields.
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the artificial mountains and waters in front of her, which resembled those in a Suzhou garden, and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
After bypassing the front yard, the group quickly arrived at Miss Su's boudoir.
Fortunately, Wan Wuyao had already introduced Fang Xiaoxiao and her companion to the housekeeper, so no one stopped them.
Wan Wuyao first greeted Old Master Su and the Su family members, then went to Miss Su's bedside.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the princess mingled in the crowd.
At this moment, the second branch of the Su family saw two strangers and couldn't help but frown.
The reason was that she noticed her husband was staring at the two of them, looking them up and down.
This Master Su is notorious for his gambling and womanizing. If it weren't for the Su family's wealth and power, she would never have wanted to marry into the Su family.
The second branch of the Su family snorted twice and then walked towards Fang Xiaoxiao and her companion.
"Oh my, are you two young ladies the concubines of Doctor Wan?"
In her opinion, Wan Wuyao had always been a rather honest person.
But being honest doesn't mean he won't take a concubine. After all, Wan Wuyou and his wife have been married for several years but haven't had any children, which has been the subject of much gossip among the neighbors.
It should be noted that, with the help of the Su family, Wan Wuyao was one of the few people in Suzhou who made the most money by running a pharmacy and clinic.
When Master Su heard that it was Wan Wuyao's concubine, he felt a pang of displeasure, and his eyes filled with displeasure.
"I say, Dr. Wan, I always thought you were a man who was afraid of women. How come you've become so sensible after just a few days? You've even managed to find two such beautiful and charming women. I'm truly envious."
After Wan Wuyao finished taking Su Xiaojia's pulse, upon hearing what Master Su said, he quickly shook his head in response.
“Master Su, you can’t say such things carelessly. How could a boorish man like me marry Madam Fang and her husband?”
In his mind, Fang Xiaoxiao, who could produce Banlangen, was practically a god, completely different from ordinary people like him.
What merit does he have to be associated with it?
Master Su did not understand his words. He only knew that Fang Xiaoxiao and Fang Xiaoxiao were not concubines taken by Wan Wuyao, and he was naturally very happy.
Relying on his status as the sole heir of the Su family, he hurriedly smiled and apologized to Fang Xiaoxiao and her companion.
"I am truly sorry, I mistook the two ladies for Madam Wan just now."
Fang Xiaoxiao could tell at a glance that this guy was a pervert, and she was not very willing to answer what he said. However, in order to give Wan Wuyao some face, she nodded and said "hmm".
As for Li Wan'er, she was a very timid person to begin with. She shrank her neck shyly and clung to Fang Xiaoxiao, not daring to utter a word.
Seeing the attitude of the two men, Master Su shamelessly continued.
"Given the attitudes of these two ladies, it seems they have no intention of forgiving me. It appears I have no choice but to make some amends."
As he spoke, he turned and gave instructions to the butler.
"Butler, quickly go to my room and fetch two top-quality jade pendants and bring them here so I can properly apologize to the two ladies."
The butler left without saying a word.
The people present seemed to have long been used to Mr. Su's generosity, and no one said anything except for the second branch of the Su family.
The second branch of the Su family expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Master, what do you mean by this? I have been begging you for days to give me those two jade pendants in your room, but you have not given them to me. Why do you suddenly want to give them to these two strange women because of a joke?"
Master Su glanced at the coquettish concubine, then looked at the stunningly beautiful Fang Xiaoxiao and the dignified and elegant Li Wan'er, and said in a serious tone befitting the head of the family.
"How dare you speak like that, woman? Don't you even know if you're worthy of those two jade pendants? As a concubine, you should know your place. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you back to your parents' home!"
He has always been fond of women. Apart from his legal wife, whom he respects, his other concubines are only a matter of his mood. If he's in a good mood, he might even pluck the stars from the sky and send them to you. If he's in a bad mood, you can get as far away as possible.
