Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 2123
Chapter 2123: Trouble In The Zhuo Manor
Feng Jiu looked at her, she paused slightly and said: “Old Madam, if I may ask so presumptuously, is the Zhuo Senior Patriarch treating you well?” She had been here for a few days now and she had never seen the Zhuo Senior Patriarch. It seemed that the Zhuo Senior Patriarch seldom came to the Old Madam’s courtyard.
The Old Madam was startled when she heard this, then she smiled and said: “He treats me very well, otherwise why would he marry me all those years ago?”
She sighed when she spoke of this: “To be honest, it is I who owe him an apology. There has always been an unresolved matter in my heart all these years. Ever since my two sons have grown up, I have avoided spending time in the back courtyard more and more. When he saw this, he naturally started visiting me less and only came during the big festivities.”
“The years are long, and Old Madam’s illness has now been cured. Often, one’s mood can also affect the health of the body. Old Madam should try to let go of your unhappiness and treat this place like a retreat, go out for more walks.” She suggested gently.
Understanding her good gesture, the old lady nodded and smiled kindly: “Yes, I will.”
“I’ve been staying here for a few days now, since Old Madam’s illness is now cured, I might prepare to leave. I will return once the three elixir herbs required for Zhuo Junyang’s legs have been found.”
She spoke slowly and bowed respectfully to the Old Madam: “Old Madam, I will leave first.” She turned and left as soon as she had spoken.
She went back to her room to rest and went out to the chinese medicine drugstore in the city early the next morning. As she had been busy preparing elixir pills for the two of them, she hadn’t had much time to go out. She would go to see what news had been sent over from the Black Market.
The shopkeeper of the drugstore had been waiting for Feng Jiu the last two days. When he saw her approaching, he rushed out to greet her in joy: “Master, you’re here! Come in quickly.” He invited him inside into the inner room hurriedly. As for the medicine boy outside, he was left staring after them stunned when he saw this, he didn’t understand it, when did the young boy in azure robes become the shopkeeper’s Master?
“Master, the news arrived at noon yesterday, I have been waiting for Master to come.” The shopkeeper said and handed the things over.
Feng Jiu raised her hand and brushed off the watermark on the document before she opened it to read. Her face became more and more solemn as she read it. She hadn’t expected the Black Market to have met with such a troublesome matter this time. Moreover, the situation of the Black Market Chief was not good either. They had already sent some people to the Black Market to look for her at Heavenly Pill Tower.
She put the things away and said to the shopkeeper: “I may leave tomorrow, if you have any more news, you don’t need to send them to the Zhuo family anymore. Also, send news back to them to search for three elixir herbs…” After she had left instructions to the shopkeeper about the three elixir herbs, she left.
She had the teleportation device with her so she would be able to return very quickly. Therefore, she decided that she would leave the next day and deal with everything else on hand today.
When she returned to the Zhuo Manor, she saw that the entrance to the Zhuo Manor was surrounded by people. The people that were surrounding the Manor entrance were fierce and seemed determined to stand their ground. This made Feng Jiu stop in her tracks and find an inconspicuous corner to observe those people. She thought to herself: Who are those people? Why are they surrounding the Zhuo Manor?
“Zhuo Zhenglin! Come Out! Tell him to come out! If he doesn’t come out, don’t blame us for being impolite! Don’t think we can’t do anything to you just because you are hiding inside! If you don’t come out we will force our way in!”
As soon as the people outside had finished shouting, the door to the Manor opened…
