Breaking news!

Following the departure of Huaye Tower’s most beautiful perforr Shi Yin, the lead dancer Liuli has also announced her departure from Huaye Tower, and she has regained her freedom by redeeming her servitude!

It is reported that Liuli is planning to start her own business, with support from Mr. Lin, intending to open a pastry shop, nad: Furong Garden.

This in itself wasn’t much, in the world of Huaye Tower and similar establishnts, such comings and goings are frequent and common, but the explosive part is.

Liuli actually undermined her old boss by drawing away several of her sisters who wished to reform, joining Furong Garden.

The business at Huaye Tower suddenly decreased significantly, and it even beca a laughingstock among the Qin towers in Dongshan City.

"I am furious, who is spreading these rumors, Yaoyao and the others are just working part-ti at Furong Garden, and yet it’s being spread like this!" Qin Yanran (Si Miaoxue) angrily smashed the teacup in her hand, "Han Si!"

"My lady!"

"Investigate who is spreading these wild rumors, I want him to pay the price!"

"Yes."

After pretending to be angry, Si Miaoxue’s expression imdiately changed, from anger to joy, seamlessly switching, first she has to create montum, or else how can she convince people, especially about her plan to target the neighbor next door?

If she couldn’t deceive that old fox Ye Shengyuan, how could she easily buy Yong’an Hall?

...

"My lord, will what we’re doing really offend Mrs. Qin? She is actually quite nice..." Liuli ca to Lin Miao, feeling a bit worried, even though she called over Yaoyao and a few sisters to help, that was with the consent of the tower lord.

These sisters are already quite old, staying at Huaye Tower, it’s almost impossible for them to find a good ho, aside from living a lonely old age, but staying in the tower, at least they have a place to stay.

They actually have saved enough silver coins, enough to redeem themselves, but once redeed, they have no place to go, then it’s better to stay, after a few years, they can do other things, like training newcors.

Now they just have one more choice, they actually want to live a normal person’s life, and that’s why they got the "tower lord’s" consent to co over part-ti.

But this was a privately reached agreent, and it ended up being spread like that...

So sisters have already started to withdraw, planning not to co over.

"Don’t worry, although your tower lord is a bit petty, she won’t go back on what she promised, you don’t have to worry about this, everything is on !" Lin Miao reassured, "Get on with opening the store, don’t delay the main business."

All the news was deliberately spread by him, stirring up the conflict with Qin Yanran to smoothly get Yong’an Hall.

Otherwise, facing Ye Shengyuan’s wealth, Si Miaoxue, who has never done dical hall business, couldn’t compete under the sa conditions.

Moreover, besides Yong’an Hall, he selected a few targets, intending to trap them, after all, it’s not his money.

...

"Junior brother, what’s going on between you and Miaoxue?" Sun Youwei was also unclear, taking the chance when the two were alone, she asked.

"Senior sister is so smart, take a guess?" Lin Miao peeled an orange, carefully removing the white sh on top, although it’s fine, it affects aesthetics and taste, handing it to Sun Youwei with a slight smile.

"Are you two acting?"

"That’s right, the conflict with Huaye Tower was intentionally stirred up by the two of us, the goal was for this..." Lin Miao explained in detail his plan with Si Miaoxue.

Sun Youwei listened, feeling like her mind was crashing, can it be played like this? People’s hearts are too complex, she increasingly feels that she can’t keep up.

"Let Xia Zhu over there, cooperate with Shen Haidong well, best to have a fight and break up." Lin Miao said.

"You’re going to sche Xia Zhu too?"

"It’s not scheming, it’s acting, otherwise, Shen Haidong suddenly went to my rival’s side, what would my enemy think?"

"It’s all temporary, and it’s also a test for Shen Haidong, Xia Zhu is my disciple, and as her teacher, I must also look out for her future happiness, right?" Lin Miao said, this reason suddenly stood tall.

"I understand, I was worried about the problems between you two."

"How have you been feeling lately, have you been practicing the breathing techniques I taught you?" Lin Miao inquired.

He taught Sun Youwei a set of breathing techniques, just hoping that Sun Youwei could strengthen her body, her condition mainly depends on nurturing, dication is just an external corrective process, to throw away the dicine jar, she still needs to restore her own essence.

"Very good, I practice every day, and the circling technique, it’s quite interesting, every ti I work up a sweat before stopping, I feel my energy is increasing day by day, and my strength has grown significantly, even Yuzhu said she struggles to keep up when I walk now." Sun Youwei said.

It’s not even half a year, she sees hope for her recovery, and her body is getting better and better, sothing previously unthinkable.

This newfound life isn’t brought by anyone else, it’s precisely the junior brother.

"That’s good, after so days, let’s find an opportunity to go back to Qingping Town, together we’ll pay respects to our master?" Lin Miao said.

Sun Youwei hesitated a bit, not answering.

"What’s wrong?"

"The dicine examination is about to start, I want to wait until the dicine examination is over before going back." Sun Youwei said.

"Hmm, that works too, up to you."

The dicine examination generally takes place after the second day of the physician examination at the end of April or beginning of May, the ti isn’t fixed, but it’s usually scheduled around this ti.

The herbalist examination also has two rounds. The first round is a written test, and the second is identifying herbs. There are no restrictions on the written test; as long as you reach the passing score, you can enter the second round, which involves identifying twenty types of herbs with a required accuracy rate of ninety percent.

There will certainly be so obscure herbs among them, but the test won’t be too difficult; otherwise, eliminating over half of the candidates would be pointless.

The number of herbalists admitted is not fixed. As long as candidates et the set requirents, they can pass.

This is much easier than the physician’s examination.

With Sun Youwei’s capability, along with guidance from Guan Biyun, passing the herbalist examination is virtually a certainty.

That’s why there are plenty of young herbalists, but young physicians are rare. The age of passing the herbalist examination is usually seven or eight years younger than that for physicians, and there are many herbalists.

Because as long as you are engaged in the herbal business, you must hold this certification. Herbalist apprentices can only work under the guidance of a certified herbalist; if sothing goes wrong, the apprentice is not held liable.

This year, Lin Miao will also take the herbalist examination. After all, having an additional certification is never a bad thing, and often it makes things more convenient.

Most people studying dicine will also take the herbalist examination. Many hold dual certifications, although one person can only work in one position at a ti.

...

"Yong’an Hall, is the information reliable?"

"Yes, Father. Two days ago, Lin Miao’s steward, the one who was fired from Yuanheng Pawnshop, contacted Cheng Liujia to discuss the transfer of Yong’an Hall," Ye Xiyuan replied from a distance of at least thirty feet from his father.

"Lin Miao also secretly had soone contact Mr. Qin, who was suing Yong’an Hall for compensation. After eting with Mr. Qin, he started pressuring Cheng Liujia for debt repaynt."

He manages the Ye family’s herbal business and knows about the industry movents much faster than Ye Shengyuan.

Yong’an Hall is facing internal and external problems with operational difficulties, making it quite possible that they might sell it, especially since the Cheng family has no successors, holding onto it serves no purpose.

"Didn’t that Fan Shouping from Yong’an Hall co to our Shengyuan Hall?"

"Yes, he resigned from Yong’an Hall before the year-end and joined our Shengyuan Hall to see patients after the new year. I hear he has a good reputation and brought along a group of patients."

"Cheng Liujia has a son, right? Is he a gambling addict?"

"Yes, he recently gambled again and owed a ten thousand taels high-interest loan, and with compounding interest, he will need twenty thousand taels this month if he wants to pay it off," Ye Xiyuan nodded.

"Lin Miao wants to acquire Yong’an Hall, hoping to get a herbal permit, but I’ll make sure he doesn’t get it," Ye Shengyuan sneered. "Xiyuan, we should also bid to acquire Yong’an Hall."

"Father, even though Yong’an Hall isn’t what it used to be, its remaining assets are still valuable. Acquiring it now would cost at least fifty thousand taels, and if we enter a bidding war, the price could be even higher," Ye Xiyuan reminded.

"I won’t let him succeed, proceed with the purchase!"

"Understood." Ye Xiyuan knew he couldn’t argue with his father. Since the decision was made, further opposition was futile.

"How about Anning Hall?"

"Song Yunzhong is asking for twenty thousand taels, saying if we don’t et that price, he’ll sell Anning Hall to Lin Miao. He’s given up on the dical industry, and he can’t keep Anning Hall anyway."

"Offer five thousand. If he wants to sell, let him sell to Lin Miao. We’ll see what he can do!" Ye Shengyuan sneered.

Even if Lin Miao buys Anning Hall, without obtaining a herbal permit, it can’t be turned into a pharmacy, leaving him with no options.

A young boy still wet behind the ears, thinking he can compete with , utterly naive.

...

"What, has Song Yunzhong had a change of heart and decided to sell to ?" Lin Miao was a bit surprised as the Song family approached him to take over Anning Hall.

"Mr. Lin, it was my husband’s fault in the past, and I apologize on his behalf," said Mrs. Song, with an exceptionally sincere tone.

"The Ye family pressed the price too hard, didn’t they?" Lin Miao chuckled softly.

Mrs. Song’s smile turned awkward. Lin Miao had indeed hit the mark; Song Yunzhong never expected that his montary jealousy leading to retaliation against Lin Miao would ruin his own future. Even the Anning Hall, a legacy from his ancestors, had to be handed over to others. He actually felt quite remorseful.

"I’m willing to buy Anning Hall, offering ten thousand taels, and you must not remove any items from Anning Hall. If you want to take anything, you must seek my consent. If Madam Song agrees to these terms, we can sign the contract now and proceed with the transfer!" Lin Miao stated.

"Isn’t ten thousand a bit low..."

"That’s the price. The Ye family likely won’t offer more than five thousand taels. I’m giving you ten thousand, double the price. People shouldn’t be too greedy," Lin Miao said, lifting his teacup.

Over a month ago, Yun offered fifteen thousand taels for the deal, allowing Song Yunzhong to continue as a consulting physician for a stable inco. Now, nothing is guaranteed, and the ten thousand is purely based on Anning Hall’s valuable location.

"Could it really not be more?"

Lin Miao shook his head firmly. In business, he’s not just a healer anymore.

Eventually, Mrs. Song agreed to sign the transfer agreent with Lin Miao. Since Song Yunzhong was in the custody of the Arresting Departnt, only his wife could handle the procedures.

On Lin Miao’s side, Sun Youwei signed the transfer agreent, aning once the transaction was completed, the ownership of Anning Hall would transfer to Sun Youwei.

After signing the agreent and completing the transfer, there was a glimpse of hope in Song Yunzhong’s case. While punishnt was inevitable, active compensation for the victim’s losses might earn so leniency.

The total compensation amounts to a substantial sum, guaranteeing that even if the family fortune is wiped out this ti, the ancestors’ blessings won’t be questioned.

As for the "herbal permit" of Anning Hall, it’s unlikely that Ye Shengyuan will let him obtain it.
