”Aiyo, boss, please spare my life. This little one doesn't know that you are here today. Please don't bother this little one.”
After Bai Zhiling revealed her identity, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he directly sat on the ground.
He managed the clinic after Madam Huang took over the Jiang family's dowry.
Previously, the business of the infirmary was quite good. However, after Madam Huang ordered someone to replace the doctor in charge of the infirmary, the business plummeted.
He also knew that this shop had given Bai Zhiling a dowry and thought that Cloud King's Manor would not care about this small amount of money.
Bai Zhiling's face turned ugly.
”Go and check out all the supplies in the infirmary. Also, clear out all the bad debts that have occurred in the past few years and bring them here!”
”Yes, yes, this little one will go now.”
”And that doctor outside, now tell him to scram!”
”Yes, yes. Immediately tell him to scram.”
When the storekeeper brought up the account book, Bai Zhiling became angrier the more she read. She actually lost a whole eight years!
In these eight years, even if she rented out the store, she would still be able to receive quite a number of rentals!
This damned Madam Huang!
The shopkeeper tremblingly kneeled on the floor, afraid that Bai Zhiling would tell him to scram if he was unhappy.
Normally, there was nothing to do in the infirmary. There was still two taels of silver a month. How could there be such a good job now?
Bai Zhiling rubbed her glabella and threw the account book to the side. She got up and walked over to the medicine cabinet to take a look.
With this look, the fire was even more intense!
Many of the medicinal herbs in the medicine cabinet had gone mouldy, yet these people still kept them inside to sell to others!
”Call everyone in the infirmary over!”
”Yes, yes.”
There were a total of three apprentices in the infirmary. Two of them were in charge of selling medicine in the front hall, while the other was in charge of brewing medicine in the back courtyard.
”From today onwards, the infirmary will temporarily be closed.”
”When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes turned red from fright.” Master, we really know our wrongs, please let us go this time. ”
”Shut up!” Lee Qing shouted coldly. He was so scared that the shopkeeper stopped crying.
”I'll give you three days, organize all the medicines in the infirmary, keep whatever you can, and throw away those that you can't. You should be afraid of being caught selling those things to the patient for a prison meal!”
”Then, that infirmary …”
”As for when the clinic will reopen, just wait for my news.”
It was good as long as the door was closed. The shopkeeper let out a long breath.
”Yes, everything will be as master says.”
Bai Zhiling didn't directly tell these people to scram because she couldn't find anyone to trust, so she decided to stay.
After they left the infirmary, Bai Zhiling looked outside and found that the one with the best business was the infirmary called ”Yi Tian”. The lobby was almost full of people waiting for a doctor.
Sitting in the hall was an old doctor with a white beard.
”This Dr Ma was previously an imperial physician in the palace. Five years ago, he retired from the palace and opened a clinic here. Many people came because of this name, but they were willing to wait in line even for a higher fee.” Seeing that Bai Zhiling was not moving, Lee Qing went up and told her what he had heard.
Bai Zhiling nodded and did not linger on the street. She went straight back to Mountain Lane.
”Lee Qing, find someone to squat in front of the jewelry store these few days. Let him clearly remember how many people enter the store every day and how many people buy things.”
”Yes.”
It was night. The full moon was bringing in the dinner.
”Miss, do you have any plans?”
Bai Zhiling came back from the street and told Lee Qing a few things before she locked herself in her room.
Full Moon knew that her young miss had become extremely ambitious ever since she married into the Cloud King's Manor, and now she really didn't look like she was faking it.
”Yes, I plan to start from a young age and build a good foundation for the tall building.”
