Fei Yuge’s lips curled into a smile as she waved her hand and rejected, “No need, help me tell Boss Wen that it’s fine if he doesn’t want to see me today.
I’ll come again tomorrow.”
With that, Fei Yuge stepped out of the pharmacy’s door and sat in the carriage she had come in.
At the same time, on the second floor of Linglong Pharmacy, Boss Wen heard Fei Yuge’s departure. He gently opened the window and looked in the direction that Fei Yuge had left.
After confirming that Fei Yuge had really left, Boss Wen finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He then hurriedly packed up and instructed the servant to close the pharmacy on time. After that, he walked into a small alley at the side on purpose to avoid people’s eyes and ears. He shuttled back and forth in the alley and was finally relieved after confirming that no one had followed him. He then headed straight for the eastern suburbs of the city.
The eastern suburbs of the city were where ordinary people lived. Boss Wen passed through a few single-story houses with ease and familiarity. After a series of turns, he arrived at a small, dilapidated house and stood outside.
He stood at the door and looked around uneasily. After making sure that no one was following him, he finally knocked on the door in relief, “Foster Father, it’s me. I have something to tell you.”
There was no response from inside the house for a long time. Just as Boss Wen was feeling uneasy, a series of coughs finally came from inside the house.
Boss Wen’s already anxious heart was now in his throat. He stood at the door and waited for a while before he saw the tightly shut door being opened from the inside. Then, an old man walked out from inside. He raised his head to look at Boss Wen, then smiled weakly and said, “You’re here?”
Boss Wen nodded and in a flash, he and the old man squeezed into the house.
“Cough, cough, cough. Didn’t 1 tell you that I’ll go find you tonight? Why did you come here by yourself?” The old man was dressed in a long gray robe, and his hair and beard were silver. He looked extremely thin, as if his bones could be easily broken with a gentle twist of his wrist.
Seeing the old man’s state, Boss Wen’s eyes could not help but fill with worry. “Foster Father, why are you coughing again? Didn’t you already take the medicine I got for you before?”
After the old man led Boss Wen through the door, he slowly sat down on his seat and said expressionlessly, “I’m in good health, so it’s fine. Besides, you also know that this is an old illness that has been accumulating for many years. It can’t be cured, so you don’t have to take it to heart.”
Boss Wen’s heart ached even more when he saw the old man cough twice while he was speaking.
However, Boss Wen forced himself to calm down. He lowered his head and said to the old man, “Father, I’m in a hurry to find you because the little princess, Fei Yuge from the Southern Border, has come to the pharmacy today. He said that he wants to see Master Wen Jiang.
The smile on the old man’s face, no, Wen Jiang’s, face immediately disappeared after hearing this. He paused for a moment before he finally agreed and asked, ‘Continue,”
Boss Wen looked at Wen Jiang uneasily. Seeing that there was no other expression on his face, he continued to speak carefully, “When I said I don’t know any Master Wen Jiang, that little princess obviously didn’t believe me. However, she did not continue to pester him about this matter and went back directly. Foster Father, it was not easy for you to escape from the Southern Border back then.. Now that the royal family of the Southern Border wants to meet you, what do they want to do?”
