Chapter 112: Accumulate Merit
Prince Lu spoke loudly as he moved closer to Shen Yuyao.
court death!
Shen Yuyao felt her right eyelid twitching.
Although she was still standing beside the table, she was secretly gathering strength in her palms.
"Bitch!" Prince Lu became bolder when he didn't see Xia Yu.
"If you don't return all the money to me today, I will make you pay!"
He stared at Shen Yuyao with resentful eyes, stretched out his right arm, and was about to step forward to grab Shen Yuyao's arm.
How dare you cheat him out of his money!
He wanted to let this big liar know that he could cheat King Lu of anything except his money!
That's his fate!
Prince Lu has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and his skills are not acquired through simple means!
"You and Xia Yu are a pair of liars! Bastards..."
The words have not yet fallen.
Prince Lu felt a heavy blow on his buttocks with such force that he was completely caught off guard and fell forward.
Shen Yuyao, who was only one meter away from him, had a frosty face and leaned slightly to the left.
The Prince of Lu didn't even have time to steady himself before he fell straight to the ground, landing in the mud.
At the moment he fell down, Prince Lu even vaguely saw a smile on Shen Yuyao's lips!
She even dared to laugh!
"What the hell are you all standing there for? Get on with it!"
Prince Lu hurriedly called his guards.
But no one answered him!
This is hell.
Just as Prince Lu was about to get up, a bone-chilling voice came from his ear: "Didn't you call me Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law a few days ago?"
Xia Yu pursed his lips slightly, with a sarcastic look on his face, but flames of anger were burning in his eyes.
When Prince Lu heard the sound, he felt as if he was struck by lightning.
There was a sharp pain in my ribs and my buttocks were cramping.
He lay on the ground trembling all over, his lips wide open but not a single word came out of his throat.
Xia Yu!!
Didn’t they say that Xia Yu is not in the inn?
How...how could this happen? ! !
I might as well just faint like this!!
Prince Lu's whole body was limp, his eyes were full of shining stars, his brain was completely unable to function, and his heart was beating like thunder.
As soon as I closed my eyes, big tears fell to the ground.
"Fourth...Fourth brother?" There was despair in Prince Lu's voice.
He knew too well how ruthless Xia Yu was.
When he was young, King Lu had seen with his own eyes that King Qin offended Xia Yu after getting drunk.
As a result, he was beaten by Xia Yu and had to stay at home for many days. Later, he went to apologize to Xia Yu in person, and only then was the matter resolved.
"fraud?"
"Another pair?"
"You bastard!" Xia Yu sneered, raised his hand and kicked King Lu on the butt.
"It hurts!" King Lu felt the pain and couldn't help wailing, "Ouch..."
He simply put his face to the ground and pretended to be unconscious.
"Get up for me, stop pretending to be dead!" Xia Yu snorted coldly, walked over to the chair next to Shen Yuyao and sat down.
When Prince Lu heard this, he immediately trembled and tried to get up, his body still shaking uncontrollably.
"Fourth brother..."
King Lu called out in a trembling voice.
As arrogant as he was just now, as embarrassed he was now.
"I was wrong to be disrespectful to Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law, but..." Prince Lu hunched his back slightly, his knees still trembling slightly, and he glanced at Shen Yuyao.
Shen Yuyao remained calm and composed, as if she was watching a play.
His eyes were full of mockery.
Prince Lu became a little angry again.
"But, Fourth Brother, you saw that I gave Fourth Sister-in-law a full 220,000 taels of silver."
"I thought she would buy the blue root and resell it to make a lot of money."
"Who would have known..."
Prince Lu watched Xia Yu’s brows wrinkle again and didn’t dare to say another word!
"Your Highness Prince Lu, please take a good look at the statement you signed." Shen Yuyao sneered, "It only states that I'm buying medicinal herbs, but it doesn't say that I'm buying them to resell them for profit."
"What?" King Lu was a little confused. "How is that possible?"
Shen Yuyao took out the declaration and handed it to Prince Lu, "Please read it carefully again."
Prince Lu hurriedly took it and after reading it he felt like dying.
That day he was only busy trying to get Shen Yuyao to agree to his investment as soon as possible, but he never thought that Shen Yuyao was not doing it for the money, but to prevent people from hoarding the goods.
It's over, it's over!
Two hundred and twenty thousand taels!
King Lu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Seeing that Prince Lu was in mourning, Shen Yuyao consoled him, "Although Your Majesty has spent 220,000 taels of silver, it is still a good deed!"
Sooner or later, Prince Lu will have to pay for all the cruel things he has done!
"I will also report to the court your generosity in providing medicine to the people of Qingzhou City."
Xia Yu said: "As for your arrogant behavior towards me and my princess today, I will remember it for now. If you are still so arrogant in the future, I will definitely not let you off easily!"
Prince of Lu, Xia Wei, your hard days are still ahead.
Prince Lu was in a daze. He didn't remember how he left the post station or how he returned to the palace.
The next day, an official from the post station came to report that the Prince of Lu's mansion had been closed because the Prince of Lu had been infected with an epidemic.
It's retribution!
......
The epidemic in Qingzhou City lasted intermittently for more than a month before it gradually stabilized.
Shen Yuyao was busy providing free medical treatment to the people of Qingzhou City all day long, while Xia Yu was responsible for mobilizing medicinal materials and supervising the pharmacy to prepare and administer the medicine.
Gradually, there was some tacit understanding between the two of them.
News came from Prince Lu's Mansion that Prince Lu had been bedridden due to repeated infections. Fortunately, with the medicine donated by Shen Yuyao, he finally recovered a lot.
However, the Prince Lu’s Palace is still closed to the public.
It is said that the Princess of Lu is now in charge and has begun to reorganize the Prince of Lu's Palace.
Three days later, Qingzhou City will also be unsealed.
Back to normal.
On this day, all the patients in the inn had recovered and left, and Shen Yuyao was also preparing to set off again in three days.
"Miss, this is from Manager Li of Jingrentang in Qingzhou." Zi Su walked into the house with a few silver bills.
"Shopkeeper Li said that this is all the remaining money after the settlement at Qingzhou Jingren Hall, and it was sent to the young lady."
Manager Li of Qingzhou Jingrentang is now the most respected manager in Qingzhou.
He knows everyone from all walks of life.
Jingrentang's free medical consultations and free medicines really made Jingrentang popular in Qingzhou.
"Okay, we're about to set off, and we do need some silver." Shen Yuyao had already exchanged her banknotes for batches of medicinal materials.
After counting, they found that there were only a few thousand taels, which was enough for them to return to Yanjing.
"Zi Su, take one hundred taels of silver notes and go buy some items and food for the journey."
Shen Yuyao was taking out a silver note and handing it to Zi Su when Xia Yu hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in.
"Yuyao, I just received news that my father has ordered me to return to Beijing!" Xia Yu's face was solemn.
"Ok?"
Shen Yuyao raised her eyebrows. Could it be true, as Xia Xiaoxian said, that there would be military intelligence at the border?
"Your Highness, do you know why the emperor summoned you to return to the capital?" Shen Yuyao asked.
"I don't know yet."
Xia Yu was a little hesitant, but he could only obey the imperial edict and set off back to Beijing immediately.
What should Shen Yuyao and Xia Xiaoxian do?
