Chapter 363 The evil woman who used poison is not worthy of the imperial physician (3)
When they arrived at the main building of Muyun Villa, they heard the news that there were guests visiting.
"Who would come here at this time of year?" Baili Xuan frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
But she immediately thought of the father and son she met at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but whispered, "No way! Climbing the mountain in the rain like this? They are pretty amazing!"
Baili Zhen on the side disagreed. He shook his head and said, "'The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit!' If there is no sufficient profit to drive them, how can they be willing to go up the mountain in such weather?"
There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his tone.
"That's right!" Baili Xuan nodded in agreement. She recalled the scene when she met the father and son on the road. "When we were on the road, I felt that their eyes were very greedy."
"Not only greedy, but also stupid." Huo Jinyi added a sneer on his face, "So Junior Sister, stay away from that father and son. These bad things are contagious."
"You're making it up again!" Baili Xuan rolled her eyes at Huo Jinyi and slapped him coquettishly, "But I really don't like them. I will try not to see them."
After saying this, she frowned, as if she was full of disgust towards the father and son.
Huo Jinyi and Baili Zhen looked at each other and felt that this development was very good.
"Master Huo, I'm going to go meet the 'guest'." Baili Zhen said calmly, "You and your sister should go back to the yard! It's a good time for you to change your clothes."
After saying that, Baili Zhen took the lead and walked towards the reception room in the main building.
It was drizzling, and the hazy rain and fog wet Baili Zhen's clothes, but fortunately the journey was not very far.
"Young Master, long time no see." Chen Banxia greeted Baili Zhen warmly when he saw him coming in.
Chen Yanchuan obviously wanted to speak as well, but was stopped by his father Chen Banxia.
Baili Zhen looked up and saw two people who were soaked standing in the living room of his house.
The Chen family father and son were still holding the cloth that the servant had just handed over.
I saw that both the Chen family father and son had wet hair, rain was sliding down their cheeks, and their clothes were sticking tightly to their bodies, dripping water continuously.
Their shoes were already soaked, and even where they were standing, a small puddle of water formed under their feet.
Chen Banxia is older and not as strong as his son Chen Yanchuan. At this moment, his face is pale, his lips are slightly blue, and he looks very embarrassed.
Although Chen Yanchuan looked better, he should still be very cold because he was trembling slightly and his eyes revealed fatigue and exhaustion.
"Master Chen, you really shouldn't risk going up the mountain on a day like this." Baili Zhen said the most heartbreaking words with a regretful tone, "In fact, if I were you, I would not leave the capital."
"Young Master, why do you say that?" Chen Banxia didn't quite understand what Baili Zhen meant. "We came here this time because we have important matters to discuss with your manor. Only by coming here in person can we show our sincerity."
Baili Zhen also sat in the main seat at this time. He picked up the cup that Tong had just brought over, took a sip of hot tea, and sighed comfortably: "It's really not right to go out on such a day, especially to go up the mountain.
It's cold and humid in the mountains. I feel uncomfortable all the time. Isn't it better to stay in the capital? Why do you have to suffer so much?"
"Young Master, you are asking even though you already know the answer?" Chen Banxia said with a wry smile, "I won't say much about the price increase of the medicinal materials in the Chen family's shop, but now that you have given the medicinal materials sales rights in the capital to the Song family, our medicine..."
"I thought it was something else!" Baili Zhen waved his hands and said, "There are more medicinal material merchants in the world than just our Baili family. You can just look for someone else. It's not a difficult task anyway.
To put it bluntly, the Baili family has never been interested in the business in the capital. Although the business is not small, there are too many rules and it is easy to offend people. If it weren't for my sister to have a backer in the future, we would have given up on it a long time ago."
At this point, Baili Zhen looked at Chen Yanchuan meaningfully, and then continued, "Now that Xiaoyue is gone, we have no intention of running the business in the capital, but it is not good to withdraw rashly.
We simply asked the Song family to be our agent, and just let them have some profits, so they can also do us a favor. We have made concessions over the years."
"Is Xiaoyue really not here?" Chen Yanchuan didn't care about his business affairs. He just wanted to know the truth of the matter. "It's just a plague. Don't you have anyone in your Baili family who can cure it?"
After hearing this, Baili Zhen slammed the cup in his hand onto the tea table beside him: "What do you want to say? Wasn't what I said in front of the emperor clear enough? That is not a plague, but a toxin with a high transmission rate.
Xiaoyue delayed the treatment in order to develop the antidote and missed the best time to detoxify, but in the end, didn't you cure those people with her prescription? What else do you have to doubt? "
