"After being used for so many years, it’s already worn out, and in any case, it makes no sense to reclaim what’s been completely pawned."
As she spoke, there was a hint of lancholy on her face. Being close by, one could still see a tiny scar on her beautiful forehead, likely from when she saw Lu Sangqi applying dicine for her last ti.
Logically, with the scar removal dicine she and Lu Sangqi developed,
the wound she had at the ti wasn’t large enough to leave a scar.
There must be sothing here unknown to others.
"This is a dicine shop, naturally different from a pawnshop. Besides, jade nurtures people and becos more valuable with use. Furthermore, saving a life accumulates virtue; you coming to our clinic for dicine benefits us with silver, and offering you this small favor is appropriate." Ye Muyu fully respected Huo Ning’s wishes.
If she didn’t accept this jade pendant, she might be forced to pawn it at another dicine shop, and retrieving it later would cost her a fortune.
After all, the Huo family is such a large clan; surely soone at ho is making things difficult for her, forcing even a Miss Huo to be unable to pay for dicine.
"...Thank you," Huo Ning said sincerely.
"No worries, please co in and wait for a while."
Ye Muyu ushered her in and then went straight behind the counter, asking the Shopkeeper to take out banknotes worth two hundred taels, and wrote down the contract for the pawn transaction.
Lu Sangqi watched as Huo Ning signed her na.
His brows furrowed slightly, feeling a bit displeased.
"Alright, here’s your dicine, for three days." Lu Sangqi handed the dicine to Huo Ning.
Huo Ning didn’t take the banknotes but asked the Shopkeeper to keep an account, deducting from it whenever she ca for dicine in the future.
She then turned and walked out.
As her cold and distant figure disappeared.
Lu Sangqi, who was just angry, hurriedly chased after her.
In his rushed manner, gone was the deanor of soone who had just shown an attitude.
Ye Muyu clicked her tongue twice and shook her head gently, thinking that this child indeed t his match. He liked soone but wouldn’t say it; even his actions were domineering.
How could soone like Huo Ning, who already had a strong opinion and ca from an extraordinary background, easily succumb to his not-so-obvious affection? And even if her heart was moved, she probably wouldn’t agree.
But when it cos to feelings, who can say for sure?
"Madam, are you getting ready to leave?" The Shopkeeper, seeing her packing her things, quickly called out to her, scratching his head a bit awkwardly.
"What’s the matter? Speak freely." Ye Muyu stopped and asked.
The Shopkeeper was sowhat embarrassed: "Well, you saw it too. It’s rare for Young Master to et soone he fancies, but it seems not to be going well. Could you provide so guidance for the Young Master?"
Now, who in the capital doesn’t know how well-connected Lord Chu and Madam are? The Shopkeeper had seen it with his own eyes; while outsiders might have doubts, he had none whatsoever.
Yet he was truly worried about Lu Sangqi’s marriage; after all, Young Master was already over twenty. If it weren’t for coming to the capital, without anyone to arrange a match for him, it wouldn’t have been delayed till now.
Ye Muyu listened and mysteriously said: "Just tell Lu Sangqi two words: ’with heart.’"
The Shopkeeper was sowhat perplexed, watching Ye Muyu’s departing figure, pondering her seemingly simple words, convinced there must be profound aning!
He decided to quickly relay this to Young Master once he returned.
Ye Muyu still headed towards Jingyuan.
Many of Jingyuan’s houses were halfway through renovations. Due to the intricate work, progress was slow.
