Chapter 80 (1/2)

Sometimes, tears could be deceived, but when the stubborn young

maid ran forward with a few taels of silver in her hands, her tears would not be deceiving her.

An Zeng lowered his head to look

at the silver notes in his hand, then turned around and walked to the p.a.w.nshop counter and asked, ””Did the people who came

earlier come often?””

The person from the p.a.w.nshop replied, ””She doesn't come very often, but she has come five or six times

already … I know that she's from Lord Li's house, but I still have to pretend that I don't know her to prevent her from being

embarra.s.sed.””

There were two p.a.w.nshops on the street where Sir Li's house was located. The reason she didn't go there was because

she was afraid of embarra.s.sing Sir Li.

Madam had always been a frugal person. If there wasn't something troubling her, how could

she possibly treat all of her jewelry like that?

””Therefore, every time I set a price, it will always be the original price.””

He

looked at the hairpin in his hand and said, ””This hairpin must have been there for at least twenty years. Its workmans.h.i.+p and

materials aren't considered good, so I guessed that it should be the jewelry his wife brought with her when she married Lord Li

… It's difficult for her.””

An Zhan said, ””I'll have to trouble you to give me all of the things that the Li family is in

exchange for redemption.””

That person quickly called for the waiter to fetch it, ””I don't dare to sell the things from the Li

family. Even though I've received them, I'll treat it as a loss. If I sell them, my conscience will be disturbed.

Logically

speaking, if we were p.a.w.nshops, we wouldn't have been able to keep it to ourselves.

But the matter with the Li family … I can't

earn this money.

It was said that the late emperor had known of the hards.h.i.+ps Sir Li had been living, so he had been deliberately

transferred to the Department Head's Department for Purging Officials. Everyone had said that the late king was taking care of

him.

But his character is the same everywhere he goes. ””

An Chao nodded. After packing up the items, he gave a bit more in

proportion to the amount of money he earned from the p.a.w.nshop. Then, he turned around and left.

On the main street, he met that

man who had gone to the Li family to ask for money. In his hand was the shattered silver that the young maid had exchanged with

the p.a.w.nshop.

The doctor sighed as he walked. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and raised his hand to slap himself.

””f.u.c.k, how could I want this money!””

He turned around and walked back to the Li family's residence to knock on the door, then he

pa.s.sed the silver to Old Zheng, ””Look, I remember wrongly. A few days ago, Lord Li sent people to return the silver. It was my

brain that forgot about it in the blink of an eye. Blame me.””

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Old Zheng stood there

blankly, staring at the back of the man.

An Zeng intercepted the doctor on the way and dragged him into a teahouse.

””May I ask who

you are?””

The doctor asked cautiously.

An Xin ordered a pot of tea, then sat down and said, ””I am someone that Sir Li has helped

before. Right now, I live a wealthy life, so I want to repay Sir Li. But you also know that Sir Li's personality is absolutely

unacceptable.””

The doctor let out a long sigh, ””So Lord Li is actually the Fang family's leader. According to the rules, he

should have been promoted to the Fang family's Prefect, but the current Prefect, Lord Xu … Forget it, there's no way to explain

this matter.””

When Lord Li was in the Fang family mansion, he did a lot of things for our people, and everyone respected him in

their hearts.

””But this person, he's too scheming … Even if he doesn't think for himself, he should at least think for his

family.””

An Xin handed over twenty taels of silver to the doctor and said, ””You can keep this. It won't be easy for you.””

””Right … What's wrong with the Li family's young master?””

Speaking of this, the groom felt even more sad, ””The heavens are

blind. The Second Young Master of the Li family is such a good child. He is clever, sensible, and beautiful.””

However, due to her

weak const.i.tution, she would always fall ill during the new season, and she would spend a lot of money on medicine every day.

””It's a pity that I'm useless as well. I can't cure this illness due to my poor innate const.i.tution.””

””Well... can you do me a

favor?””

I also know how to use my medical skills. Just say that I'm a friend of yours and take me to the Li Residence for Second

Young Master to see.

””It would be best if it could be cured, but if it can't, I will do my best.””

The doctor nodded after a

moment of silence. ””The second young master comes to my shop three times every month. It just so happens that he will come the

day after tomorrow.””

If I take you into the mansion, I won't be able to find an excuse.

””Like this, the day after tomorrow you

will come to my medicine store and wait, pretending that you have met me at the right time. Whether you can help or not, it will

all be up to you.””

Ang nodded and said thank you, then said his goodbyes.

When the day came, An Zhe and Qu Liuxi left the sect and

went straight to the medicine store to wait.

The doctor had said that Li Yenian's wife was a person who cared about her husband's

honor, so she never brought Second Young Master to see a doctor when there were many people. She always came early in the

morning.

Thus, An Zeng and Qu Liuxi arrived outside the medicine store before daybreak. Lang Zhong also needed two hours to open

the door to wait for the people from the Li family.

The sky hadn't even lit up yet, when An Zhe and Qu Liuxi entered and waited.

After waiting for a few minutes, a woman in her forties and a maid, who had seen An Ying in the past, came in with a seven or

eight year old boy.

The little boy's face was very pale, but his features were delicate and pretty.

However, his body was too weak,

so his pace was not stable.

The doctor quickly stood up. ””Greetings, Madam.””

The middle-aged woman was none other than Li

Yenian's wife.

She didn't look very old, but the frown between her eyebrows was too heavy.

He was wearing a set of clothes, and

there were even patches on some of them.

People on the street said that the madam lived in seclusion, but in reality, she was

unwilling to change her clothes. Her clothes were too shabby to leave the house, lest she lose her husband's face.

””Who are these

two people?””

When Madame Li saw An Chou and Qu Liuxi, she was stunned for a moment, then felt a little uneasy.

She really didn't

want to see anyone with her current appearance.
