Shopkeeper Wang looked somewhat embarrassed. He looked around. Although this place was not bustling and was relatively secluded, there were still occasional passers - by.
"If the young doctor is interested, you can come with me. Let's sit down and have a good chat. How about it?"
Shopkeeper Wang extended another invitation to Su Yuanyuan.
Wang Yue turned to look at Su Yuanyuan. Even through the veil hat, Su Yuanyuan could see the worried look in her eyes.
Having experienced the treachery of the world, Wang Yue sensed that Shopkeeper Wang's visit to Su Yuanyuan was not simply about treating a patient.
She had heard from Su Yuanyuan before that she and her husband had come here to look for someone. Could this matter be related to the person they were looking for?
Su Yuanyuan couldn't explain more to Wang Yue. She gave Wang Yue a reassuring look and said to Shopkeeper Wang with a smile, "I'm really quite interested. I'll go with you then."
Su Yuanyuan and Wang Yue got into the carriage sent by the Wang family's commercial firm and arrived at the fur shop owned by the Wang family in Chenzhou City.
"Please come this way, young doctor." Shopkeeper Wang led the way ahead, smiling as he invited Su Yuanyuan into the courtyard behind the shop. Su Yuanyuan nodded and followed him with her medicine chest in hand. She behaved very properly after entering and never looked around randomly, which made Shopkeeper Wang quite satisfied.
However, when Wang Yue tried to follow Su Yuanyuan into a decorated gate, she was stopped.
Wang Yue was a bit anxious and couldn't help shouting, "Miss!"
Su Yuanyuan stopped, turned around to look at the stopped Wang Yue, and then cast a questioning look at Shopkeeper Wang.
Shopkeeper Wang explained, "The patient has a special status and is ill. It's not appropriate to see too many outsiders. We hope the young doctor can understand our difficulties. We'll surely take good care of that young lady. Please don't worry, young doctor."
Su Yuanyuan felt a chill in her heart. Even the shopkeeper in this far - away shop in Chenzhou was so cautious. It seemed that Shu Moyun was really very important to them.
Having confirmed this, Su Yuanyuan was even less likely to leave Wang Yue alone in this place.
Su Yuanyuan said, "But I need someone by my side to help pass medicines, gauze, and needles."
Shopkeeper Wang remained unmoved. "We'll arrange someone to assist the young doctor."
Su Yuanyuan looked at Shopkeeper Wang suspiciously. "There are so many rules just to save a person. Could this person be a criminal? Shopkeeper, have you investigated clearly? I have my own rules and principles when treating patients: I won't treat those who commit crimes; I won't treat those who are perfidious; and thirdly, I won't treat those who are unfaithful and unjust. If that's really the case, I'll have to go back home!"
Saying that, Su Yuanyuan pretended to turn around and leave.
But now that she was already here, how could Shopkeeper Wang let her go? To keep Su Yuanyuan stable, Shopkeeper Wang reluctantly agreed to her request and let Wang Yue in.
After leading the two into the inner hall, since there was no sign of the patient, Su Yuanyuan asked Shopkeeper Wang again when the diagnosis and treatment would start. Shopkeeper Wang evaded the question and only said that he had sent someone to invite the patient and asked the two to sit down and have a cup of hot tea first.
Su Yuanyuan held the tea cup in her hand. Then Xiaoba prompted, [Little Yuanbao, there's knockout drops in the tea.]
Oh, so they planned to drug them all and then quietly take them to Jiutang Mountain for treatment?
Su Yuanyuan knew it wouldn't be easy to see Shu Moyun and there would surely be some hardships. However, she still wanted to tease these people. She deliberately brought the tea cup to her lips several times and then suddenly put it down to talk to Wang Yue beside her.
Since she didn't drink, Wang Yue naturally wouldn't drink the tea either.
Seeing the two chatting as if there was no one else around and never drinking the tea, Shopkeeper Wang was anxious. His face was no longer as kind as before but became rather gloomy.
"Why isn't the young doctor drinking the tea? Have we neglected you in any way?" Shopkeeper Wang asked with a forced smile.
"Oh, not at all. It's just that the tea is too hot to drink. I often taste medicinal herbs, so I'm quite picky about the taste on my tongue." Su Yuanyuan said with a smile. Then, right in front of Shopkeeper Wang, she drank all the tea in the cup.
[Xiaoba, it's up to you.] Su Yuanyuan said to Xiaoba when she drank the tea laced with knockout drops.
The moment Su Yuanyuan drank the tea, Xiaoba had already protected her body so that she wouldn't really be drugged. As for Wang Yue beside her, seeing Su Yuanyuan's action, she also drank all the tea in her cup.
After drinking the tea, Wang Yue immediately felt dizzy. Sensing something was wrong, she tried to reach out to grab Su Yuanyuan.
"Miss, there's..."
Before she could finish, the two "fainted" together.
Shopkeeper Wang watched them faint with his own eyes but didn't let down his guard. He got up, leaned forward to check, and after confirming that Su Yuanyuan and Wang Yue were really drugged, he clapped his hands and said, "Come here!"
Thanks to Xiaoba's protection, Su Yuanyuan didn't really faint. She clearly heard Shopkeeper Wang say, "Take the people and set off for Jiutang Mountain immediately." The heavy stone in her heart finally settled.
Su Yuanyuan couldn't open her eyes and could only rely on Xiaoba to tell her what was going on outside. After Shopkeeper Wang's words, two men came in from outside and tried to tie up the two sleeping women on the chairs.
Just thinking about being touched by a strange man made Su Yuanyuan feel a bit resistant. But because of her "coma", she couldn't do anything, which made her feel extremely aggrieved.
However, Xiaoba said happily, [Little Yuanbao, it's the young master! He's disguised as a servant of the Wang family! Great, now you can enter Jiutang Mountain openly together!]
When one of the men grabbed her hand and twisted it behind her back, she felt someone gently scratch her palm. She said to Xiaoba, [It's really Brother Yunjian!]
This person was indeed Cang Xuan in disguise.
After following Su Yuanyuan into the Wang family's commercial firm, he knocked out one of the servants and disguised himself as him.
Since Shopkeeper Wang's attention was on Su Yuanyuan, he didn't notice at all that one of his subordinates had been quietly replaced.
It was obvious that Shopkeeper Wang's invitation to Su Yuanyuan had been pre - planned. When the servant disguised as Cang Xuan led Su Yuanyuan out of the back door, he saw that the carriage was already prepared there.
After stuffing the two fainted girls into the carriage as Shopkeeper Wang instructed, they set off for Jiutang Mountain overnight.
Inside the carriage, the servant disguised as Cang Xuan stayed to guard the two girls, while the other servant drove the carriage outside.
As the carriage galloped on the road and the wheels quickly rolled over the pebbles, the carriage shook violently. To protect the girls from being bumped, Cang Xuan held the girls in his arms.
After confirming that no one would come to disturb them during the journey, the girl who was supposed to be in a coma opened her eyes and looked at Cang Xuan, who was disguised as a servant.
The two locked eyes in the dim carriage and exchanged a knowing look. Cang Xuan's eyes were filled with a smile as he put a finger to his lips.
