Chapter 225 - 225 Trick

225 Trick

It did not matter if she admitted it or not. The crime of being unfilial was already on her.

“I’m sick. This is my medicine.”

Gu Man’s expression did not change, but her words froze the old man’s expression. The guilt in his heart instantly rose. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he looked at Gu Man, who had her head lowered, and sighed.

Forget it. He would apologize to the young lady later.

Her words made Gu Rou’s expression freeze. She clenched her fists on the counter and let go.

She was lucky today.

“Are you Gu Rou?”

A careful sound of probing came from the side. Gu Rou turned to look at the unfamiliar face with a proper smile. “You are?”

“Goddess Gu Rou, my name is Mo Qing. I’m your fan!”

Gu Man had just looked over unintentionally, but when she saw that familiar face, she was slightly stunned.

Why was Mo Qing here?

Mo Qing, who was originally smiling, froze when she saw Gu Man.

“Why are you here? Did you bully Goddess Gu Rou again?”

Gu Man glanced at her casually and quickly retracted her gaze to look ahead. Instead of arguing with these people, she might as well go to the ghost market to find out more about the Sarira.

Mo Qing, who was ignored, was very unhappy. She looked at the old man who was grabbing the medicine. Her eyes darted around and she grabbed Gu Rou’s hand righteously. “Goddess Gu Rou, I know that Gu Man bullies you all day. Don’t worry, this pharmacy belongs to my family. I’ll definitely seek justice for you.”

“That’s not good.”

Gu Rou looked troubled, but she was exceptionally happy. She was just worrying about how to deal with Gu Man when someone took the initiative to help her vent her anger.

“Grandpa, let me do it.”

The old man paused in his actions and looked at the prescription. The few remaining herbs were common. He also wanted his granddaughter to practice, so he handed the prescription over.

“Then I’ll go to the backyard to find the herbs first. Help this girl get the herbs first.”

Mo Qing agreed and looked at Gu Man provocatively. She turned around and grabbed the medicine and placed it into the medicine bag.

Looking at her smug expression, Gu Man was a little speechless. Was she afraid that she did not know that she was going to cause trouble?

Soon, the herbs were grabbed and the medicine bag was handed to Gu Man. Gu Man did not open it but looked at Mo Qing. “Mo Qing, can you guarantee that you didn’t tamper with the herbs?”

Gu Man’s light words hit Mo Qing’s heart like a heavy blow.

She panicked at a visible speed, but she quickly calmed down.

Gu Man was just a good-for-nothing who knew nothing. Even if she showed her the herbs, she would not be able to recognize them. What was there to be afraid of?

At the thought of this, Mo Qing was no longer as flustered as before. Instead, she calmly pointed at the wrapped medicine packet on the counter.

“If you’re worried that there’s a problem, open it and check it yourself. But if there’s no problem, you have to apologize to me!”

“Sister, this pharmacy belongs to Miss Mo. She naturally knows about herbs. How could she have grabbed the wrong one? Sister, you can’t slander Miss Mo just because she got closer to me.”

Gu Rou’s face was too deceptive. Coupled with her gentle tone, almost no one would not believe her.

Gu Man immediately became the person everyone pointed at.

“Why is this young lady so unreasonable? I already felt that she was not filial just now, but now she’s actually blaming an innocent person for her personal grudges.”

“That’s right. That Miss Mo is innocent. She worked so hard to help her get the medicine, but she still has to be slandered.”

Gu Man calmly swept her gaze across the crowd. Everyone’s faces were filled with indignation as they condemned her with what they thought was justice.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly. There was no panic on her face. Instead, she pulled open the rope that tied the medicine bag. “Alright, in that case, let’s check it properly.”

Gu Man’s expression was too calm. Mo Qing began to think that she really knew herbs.

However, it was too whimsical. Everyone knew that Gu Man was trash, so how could she recognize medicinal herbs?

“Mo Qing, what’s going on? Why is everyone gathered here?”
