The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

10. The Different Angles

Xue Fanxin returned to her room with three books and found some servants to test her. Finally, he was sure only he could see the contents. The others could not see a single word. In their eyes, these were three empty books with no writing on them.

Why was he the only one who could read the words in the book?

Forgetit. Regardless of the reason, the most important thing now was to find the herbs needed to make the Spirit Resurrection Potion.

The only way to gather these herbs quickly was to buy them in the medicine shop outside. However, one had to have money to buy potions, and he had none.

"I'll get it from Grandfather," Xue Fanxin decided. He hid the three books and went to look for Xue Batian to ask for money.

Xue Batian loved Xue Fanxin the most. When he asked for money to buy potions, he immediately gave him 5,000 taels.

He left the Duke's Residence with 5,000 taels and went to the nearest medicine hall to buy potions. Before coming, he had already written down the potion he wanted to buy on paper and handed it to the shopkeeper. He waited patiently.

The shop assistant knew that Xue Fanxin was the silly and foolish Young Miss of the Duke's Residence. He was worried that he had no money for her, so after bringing the potion, he asked for the payment of his item. “Nona Xue, although the herbs you want are not too expensive, they are also not cheap. Total of 3,580 taels. Please pay first.”

“This is a banknote worth 5,000 taels. Give me the change.” Xue Fanxin handed the banknote to the officer. He was slightly dissatisfied with his attitude, but he did not say anything.

After all, the impression people had of him was an idiot.

In the past, Xue Fanxin had not been a fool or an idiot. He was too naive and innocent. He had long been deceived by Li Yaoyao, so he slowly became an idiot in the eyes of others.

The clerk received the banknotes and finally revealed the smile he was supposed to have. He quickly looked for change for Xue Fanxin, but when he handed the money over to her, he saw a big man enter. He quickly threw the money at Xue Fanxin. He did not even say a word to her before rushing forward to greet the big fellow.

“Nona Lian, welcome. I'm sorry for not coming out to greet you. I hope you can forgive me. May I know what I can do for you?”

Xue Fanxin was counting the change the officer had given her. He glanced at the person who had just walked into the medicine room and read the relevant information from the memories of the host.

Lian Bingyu, the fifth daughter of the Lian family, had apprenticed at Sage Zhong Yang at the age of ten.

Sage Zhong Yang was the strongest alchemist in the Nanling Empire. Most of the pills in the empire came from him. This person had such a high status in the Nanling Empire that even Emperor Nanling had to show him some respect.

It was a very honorable thing to be a disciple of Sage Zhong Yang. Even becoming a medicinal tester for Sage Zhong Yang was a coveted position.

Lian Bingyu was a disciple personally accepted by Sage Zhong Yang. After several years of studying and working hard, he was already a Rank Two alchemist.

Rank Two Alchemists could do whatever they wanted in the Nanling Empire.

With such capital, Lian Bingyu's usual style of doing things was rather arrogant and domineering.. If anyone dared to offend him in the slightest, he would let them die without a burial ground.

Hearing Lian Bingyu say that she wanted the Purple Jade Orchid, the attendant's expression changed. He turned his head stiffly and looked at Xue Fanxin, who was counting her change. He said weakly, “Miss Lian, I'm really sorry. The last stalk of Purple Jade Orchid in our shop has been purchased by Miss Xue from the Duke's Residence.”

When Xue Fanxin heard the officer mention it, she raised her head to look at it. After that, he continued to count the money in his hands. Once he made sure that there was no mistake, he picked up the potion and intended to leave.

At this moment, someone was blocking his path.

“Xue Fanxin, give me the Purple Jade Orchid you bought.” Lian Bingyu did not take Xue Fanxin seriously. His eyes were filled with a clear contempt, and his tone reigned.

Xue Fanxin was a person who knew how to assess the situation. He was well aware of his abilities at this moment. If he were to clash with Lian Bingyu and form a grudge, the one who would suffer in the end would be him.

But from a different point of view, if he used Lian Bingyu well, he would be of great help to her.

“I've just spent five thousand taels on potions. If I give it to you, won't I lose it?” Xue Fanxin pretended to be innocent, like a pure girl who knew nothing about the world and tried her hardest to act stupid.

“I will pay 10,000 taels for your Jade Orchid. How about that?" Lian Bingyu did not know that she had been deceived by the other party. He took out a 10,000-tael note and handed it to Xue Fanxin.

"certainly certainly. I'll give you the Purple Jade Orchid.” Xue Fanxin took the banknote excitedly, then placed the potion on the table. He happily took out the Purple Jade Orchid from the inside and handed it to Lian Bingyu with both hands. "It's the Purple Jade Orchid, here it is."

Since Xue Fanxin had given Lian Bingyu enough face, she was in a good mood. He took the orchid and looked at it for a while, feeling satisfied. "Not bad. This is the orchid I was looking for. Thank you." Thank you."

Although Lian Bingyu was grateful to Xue Fanxin, her tone contained no gratitude. He's just being perfunctory.

Xue Fanxin could not be bothered with him because of such a small matter. He grinned at her and said, "In comparison, I still think that Miss Lian is better."

That casual remark caught Lian Bingyu's attention. "What can be compared?"

“Do you not know? Oh, right, you don't know. My cousin told me that she's prettier than you, more talented than you, and more cultured than you. In short, he is better than you in every way. But today, after seeing you, I thought you were better than my cousin.”

"Whatdidyou say? Your cousin? Li Yaoyao?” Lian Bingyu's expression changed drastically, filled with anger.

Although Li Yaoyao was only a cousin living in the Duke's Residence, she was quite famous in the capital. Especially with her extremely beautiful face, who knew how many men she had attracted?

Lian Bingyu naturally knew about someone her age and beauty.

He was originally a little envious of Li Yaoyao's appearance. Now that he knew that Li Yaoyao was secretly slandering him, how could she not be angry?
