Chapter 1448: They’re Afraid of Boss Shao
Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone searched the courtyard inside and out, but they could not find Shao Qingyuan and the others. They were immediately disappointed.
Only Owner Zheng and her husband looked at each other and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The two of them did not dare to say anything about Zhang Yingyue and her mother moving away. They just wanted to take back what they had said previously.
That was Shao Qingyuan, who had vaccinated the Second Prince. The high-ranking officials and nobles he knew could line up from one end of Nine Lanes to the other. If he really reported it to the officials, they would have to bear the consequences.
Therefore, when Owner Zheng saw that Shao Qingyuan and the others were not around, she quickly slipped away before anyone noticed her.
The others refused to leave. They were very curious about Shao Qingyuan. They turned around and returned to Mrs. Zhang’s room.
She asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law Zhang, how did Doctor Shao treat you? What medicine did he use?"
"Yes, Mrs. Zhang, do you know where his house is?"
Zhang Yingyue had already helped Mother Zhang lie down. She turned around and said to everyone, "My mother is seriously ill. Doctor Shao instructed her to rest well. She’s very tired now and doesn’t have the energy to answer everyone’s questions. If you have anything to say, say it another day. Everyone, go back."
Everyone was a little indignant, but they saw that Mother Zhang had indeed closed her eyes.
Moreover, there was a bad smell in the room. After all, they were still worried that they would be infected.
Hence, everyone left the room when they heard Zhang Yingyue’s words.
However, before leaving, they still did not give up and asked, "Yingyue, is Doctor Shao really your boss? When will Jinlan Street’s shop open? We’ll take care of the business."
Zhang Yingyue’s mouth twitched. There was no need to take care of the business. She was afraid that the bill from New Tea Pavilion would scare them so much that they would call their boss a blood-sucking bug.
Nevertheless...
"Boss Shao will open a new medicinal shop in a while. There are all kinds of herbs in the shop, and it’s not inferior to the big pharmacies in the capital. However, his shop is not on Jinlan Street, but Nanqu Street. It’s called Shao’s."
With that, Zhang Yingyue closed the courtyard door under everyone’s puzzled gazes.
The people outside wanted to ask more, but they could only face the closed courtyard door.
Zhang Yingyue heaved a sigh of relief and returned to her room.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang had already rested, she quietly took out the basin filled with pus and blood at the end of the bed and disposed of it.
Then, she changed her clothes, tidied up, and opened the courtyard door again.
The people outside did not notice, so Zhang Yingyue lowered her head and hurried towards the entrance of the alley.
There was a carriage parked there.
When Zhang Yingyue saw Tong Shuitao sitting on the shaft of the carriage, her face lit up. She hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"Boss."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted and Gu Yundong poked her head out. When she saw her, she could not help but laugh. "How do you know that I haven’t left?"
Zhang Yingyue said, "When Boss left, Owner Zheng and the others still haven’t left. Who knows what trouble they will cause and whether they will continue to force us to move, so Boss won’t leave in peace."
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. As expected, Zhang Yingyue did not disappoint her.
"Then, Owner Zheng has left?"
"She’s gone." Zhang Yingyue nodded. "They’re afraid of Boss Shao."
Shao Qingyuan sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Gu Yundong turned her head and glanced at him. He seemed to have sensed something and reached out to pinch her hand that was by her side.
Gu Yundong could not help but laugh when she suddenly heard a bang.
