Zhou Shaoping’s father shook his head, "I can’t figure it out."
"Perhaps she is the descendant of so secretive lineage in dicine, who has been hidden from the world. Once she erged, she brought out all her family’s foundations."
If Yun Jiao heard this, she would surely give a thumbs up; this is pretty much the truth.
It’s just that the foundations of her world are a bit extensive, perhaps a lifeti wouldn’t be enough to exhaust them.
Ah Hu listened on the roof for a long ti before silently returning.
The next day, the yellow-toothed man was called over. Jiang Youzhi asked him to investigate two things.
The first is who the owner of Kangyuan Hall is, what family mbers they have, how many staff are at the shop, their nas, ages, and physical characteristics.
The second is what kind of industry disputes the dical Association has dealt with over the years.
The yellow-toothed man left with the silver Jiang Youzhi gave him.
Nowadays, Renxin Hall is his largest and most important client. Just relying on Renxin Hall, he has earned more in the past few months than he would in two years.
The tasks assigned by Jiang Youzhi were given special attention by the yellow-toothed man, who soon headed towards Kangyuan Hall.

In a two-courtyard estate in the south of the city, Manager Sun lay groaning on the bed.
A woman brought in a bowl of dicine and placed it by the bedside, then gently shook his shoulder, "Get up and drink the dicine."
Manager Sun slowly propped himself up from the bed, leaning against the headboard.
At this mont, the right side of his face, from the eye socket down to the corner of his mouth, was all covered in dark purple bruises.
The woman picked up the dicine bowl and handed it to him, "Your injuries have not improved for days. Should I go to Renxin Hall to buy so bruise ointnt for you to apply?"
Manager Sun suddenly beca angry, throwing the dicine bowl aside, "Don’t ntion Renxin Hall in front of !"
The dicine bowl shattered on the floor, pieces flying and liquid splashing.
The woman was furious, "Are you out of your mind? Now I have to brew the dicine all over again!"
"Besides, it was your own fault!"
"I heard Renxin Hall now sees only twenty patients a day. What about the extra patients? If our shop was still open, perhaps they’d be coming to us!"
"It was your impatience. After just two days without business, you ca up with so foolish plans, resulting in a big ss!"
She stood up, took a broom, and while sweeping the broken pieces, she kept nagging, "Even after causing trouble, you could just compensate with silver, but no, you miser, you were reluctant to part with the money, and now look at the situation. Whose fault is it?"
"Not only are you injured, there’s nothing left in the shop, a loss totaling thousands of taels!"
Hearing the ntion of thousands of taels, Manager Sun felt a pang in his heart, and he roared, "Stop talking."
"For whose sake? I toil outside every day, isn’t it all for Qilin Hall, for this family?"
The woman snorted, finished sweeping up the porcelain, then brought a mop to clean the floor.
After mopping the floor, the woman sighed, "As things stand, the shop can’t continue. I think we should rent it out. At least we could get over two hundred taels of silver in rent annually."
Manager Sun snorted, "That shop is yours, you have the final say."
The woman was angry, "Aren’t I discussing it with you?"
"What is yours and what is mine? You’ve married into the He Family for how many years now, what, do you want to divide the family now?"
Manager Sun fell silent.
After a little while, a man in his thirties ca in from outside, smiling, he reached out to the woman, "Mother, give ten taels of silver, I have sothing to do."
