Capítulo 1423: Chapter 1361: The Troublemaker
With this incident of blackmail, it unexpectedly revealed that the costics from the Zining Pavilion were made using a formula from a divine physician, who also happened to be treating the Crown Prince. Just the reputation alone is quite impactful.
Word of mouth spreads incredibly fast; from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and instead of harming it, it actually boosted the fa of the Zining Pavilion, making the business even more prosperous. But that’s another story for later.
As the crowd dispersed, Eunuch Hai looked at Wufu, then at Bai Xiaobai, and smiled: “Who is this?”
Bai Xiaobai opened his mouth, and said: “She is…”
“Adoptive sister.” Wufu smiled and bowed: “My na is Wu Fu, the adoptive sister of the Ghost Doctor.”
Bai Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, adoptive sister, that makes him the elder brother, haha, elder brother, a younger sister must respect her elder brother.
“Yes, she is my sister.” Bai Xiaobai puffed out his chest and said.
“I see.” Eunuch Hai smiled and said: “Divine Doctor Bai is known for his passion and integrity, highly regarded by His Highness, I didn’t expect Miss Wu to be just as intelligent.”
Wufu smiled lightly and said: “I dare not accept such praise, Your Excellency. The Crown Prince is blessed with great fortune, and us siblings are simply fortunate to share in it.”
Eunuch Hai’s eyes curved with delight.
“You may return now; His Highness is feeling well these days, so I won’t be going back to the Eastern Palace with you!” Bai Xiaobai said to Eunuch Hai with a wave, “If anything cos up, you can find at the Changqing Residence!”
“Yes.” Eunuch Hai smiled and said: “The Divine Doctor and Miss Wu can rest assured, I will have the people under find out who is behind this and give Miss Wu a proper explanation!”
Wufu said: “Thank you, Your Excellency.” She thought she probably could uncover who the culprit was, but with soone willing to help, why should she refuse?
Wufu signaled to Jadeite, who escorted Eunuch Hai out, and slipped a thick red envelope into his palm, calling it a reward for his trouble.
Upon arriving at the back hall of the Zining Pavilion, Bai Xiaobai cheerfully said: “Sister, you must respect your elder brother more in the future!”
Wufu glanced at him askance: “You’re really taking advantage of this, aren’t you?”
Bai Xiaobai’s face darkened: “What, are you going to deny our relationship once you’ve used ?”
“Of course, I’ll acknowledge it!” Wufu smiled slyly and said, “As long as good brother, you keep satisfied, I’ll gladly recognize you.”
“What if you’re not satisfied?”
“Then I’ll reluctantly recognize you!” Wufu said, giving him a sidelong glance.
Bai Xiaobai snorted, boldly sat down, and said: “Who’s so blind as to target our shop? And to resort to such low-quality blackmail!” With that, he looked at her suspiciously: “Did you cause this ss?”
“The business is doing well, naturally attracting envy. If it wasn’t this trouble I stirred, there would be another. So, I had no choice but to use your identity.” With the Crown Prince’s na involved, anyone trying to target the shop would have to think twice.
Bai Xiaobai muttered: “I knew you wanted to thrust into the lilight, you’re always successful in your endeavors.”
“It’s not as if you won’t get your share of the profits,” Wufu mocked lightly.
Bai Xiaobai thought to himself, he would get his share of the profits, but he still hadn’t seen a single piece of silver!
“Now that you’re in the Eastern Palace, whatever you research will have resources provided there. Holding onto silver is useless; it would just be squandered. So I’m not giving it to you yet, saving it for future investnts instead,” Wufu said.
Bai Xiaobai grinned widely: “I didn’t say anything.”
Wufu gestured for Mo Lan to keep watch at the door, and in a low voice, asked: “How is the Crown Prince’s health exactly?”
Bai Xiaobai’s expression grew grim, and he said in a somber tone: “It’s rely a matter of vying with Yama Raja for ti!”
Wufu felt a chill in her heart, and sighed deeply.
