The Crazy Son-In-Law

Cao Yuande trembled with anger, and he unpacked those herbs, “What an arrogant man. You’ll regret it.”

He then took out a few branches of Huang Qin. Fake Huang Qin was usually just some dyed fine root. If they just soaked it in the water and its color did not come off, then it was no doubt a real one, or they were just some useless roots.

Of course, that didn’t mean that the herb store had intended to sell fake herbs and it was even more unlikely that all those herbs they sold were fake.

Cao Yuande fetched some water, and bathed the Huang Qin in the water, and soon, to his surprise, the color did come off.

Although then guests weren’t sure what was going on, when they saw his face, they had guessed something.

“Is it really fake?”

“What a shame for Goodhealth Herbs.”

“That young man’s quite something. He just had a sniff and knew everything.”

“Maybe we really misunderstood him.”

Xiao Shun grunted lightly, “Well? What else do you have to say.”

Cao Yuande gulped, and suddenly had some respect for Xiao Shun. These Huang Qin were all processed, and he didn’t think that he could tell the truth by sniffing alone. But for the sake of Goodhealth Herbs’ reputation, he couldn’t just admit defeat.

“It’s true that it was a mistake on our part, but that doesn’t prove anything. How about we have a test?” He said through gritted teeth.

“You’re not qualified for even such a request,” Xiao Shun said with a bemused look, feeling a little impatient.

“Then what about me?”

At that moment from a room came out an old man on a crutch, who was perhaps in his sixties but still in good spirits.

A gasp erupted from the crowd.

“It’s Wang Ye.”

“I’ve heard about Mr. Wang for a long time, but I’ve never met him. Today I am just so lucky.”

“Neither do you,” Xiao Shun said, still casually.

“Neither do you.”

Xiao Shun’s words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

A murmur erupted from the crowd.

“What an arrogant brat!”

“Even those prominent figures from the capital had to make appointments in advance before they could meet him. What do you think you are?”

Wang Ye stroked his long silver beard and raised his hand, and the murmur in the crowd immediately fell silent.

He walked slowly to the counter, pinched up a Huang Qin and took a sniff. He sighed softly, and said to Cao Yuande with a serious face, “Find what’s wrong.”

Cao Yuande nodded, and then hurriedly walked in.

“We will look into our problems very seriously and no such problems will be allowed to happen again.”

Now that the legendary Wang Ye had made such a sincere apology, nobody said anything more.

Xiao Shun didn’t have the time to listen to his bullshit and was just about to leave with Song Linger when he was stopped by the security guard at the entrance.

Wang Ye picked up the prescription written by Xiao Shun that was placed on the counter again, and after he scanned through it, he looked at Xiao Shun with an expressionless face, “Did you write this prescription?”

“Just say it if you have something to say. I’m in a hurry, and I don’t have time to listen to your bullshit.” Xiao Shun looked impatient.

He had just been here for some herbs, but didn’t want all that much trouble. He had long been a bit annoyed.

Once again, the crowd burst into commotion.

They all accused him of the disrespect he had treated Mr. Wang with!

They didn’t know that this legend was nothing more than an ordinary doctor with some talent in Xiao Shun’s eyes, and Wang Ye’s talent might not even be half of Song Linger’s.

Quite the opposite of the righteous indignation of the onlookers, Wang Ye was calm and said with a smile, “With all due respect, if I am not qualified to even be compared with you, is there anyone in this world who you think is qualified?”

Xiao Shun narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down, “Come back to me when you can live past sixty-five.”

Wang Ye’s originally calm face suddenly twitched unconsciously a few times with a complicated expression.

The Wang family had been studying medicine for generations, and now, after all these years, Goodhealth Herbs had had a history of over three hundred years. However, the Wang family had an unknown secret that none of the family could not live past the age of sixty-five, as if a deadline had been coded into their gene.

No matter what a legend he had been to those people, he just could not help himself.

He was now sixty-four years old, and though he might look radiant, he knew that he did not have much time left.

And this secret of the Wang family was only known to a very few highly respected members of the family.

If the younger generation knew that they would only live to the age of sixty-five, most likely they would be so depressed and unmotivated from the beginning.

Since this young man could easily notice their disease, he might have a way to lift this unbreakable shackle on the Wang family.

At this thought, Wang Ye leaned on his crutch and walked quickly and excitedly towards Xiao Shun, while the crowd of onlookers automatically gave way to him.

He walked up to Xiao Shun, bowed deeply and said, “Can we talk privately?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He didn’t want anyone to know about the disease, so he had to invite Xiao Shun to his office in the pharmacy.

“I can’t help you right now.” Xiao Shun said honestly.
