I became the cannon fodder who died early, and I angrily married the villain

Chapter 74: Sky-high-priced anesthetics



Chapter 74

Later, the new maidservant who came to serve him ‘accidentally’ let it slip, and Zhao Bin was furious.

Luo Shi hurried over after receiving the news, first glared at the maidservant who let it slip, asked the housekeeper to take her away to deal with it, and then went to comfort her son.

When she explained to Zhao Bin, everything was for his good, blah blah.

Zhao Bin became even crazier when he heard the sensitive words of marrying a wife and having children. What good could he marry like this? !

But this is a matter for the future.

At this moment, Luo Shi was still worried about how to comfort her son, "Bin'er, your elder sister..."

"Mom, I know, I won't be provoked by them, don't worry." Zhao Bin said, with a trace of pain on his face.

Luo Shi instantly forgot what she wanted to persuade, "What's wrong with you? But your legs hurt again? Where's the medicine?"

The nanny who was serving on the side quickly brought the medicine over.

Luo made way for him, "Hurry up and give him some."

After the medicine was applied, Zhao Bin relaxed because he was no longer in pain.

The old nanny who applied the medicine hesitated for a moment and said to Luo, "Madam, the medicine is almost used up..."

Luo was about to say that she would buy more when it was used up, but when she thought of the price of the medicine, she couldn't help but frown, "Why is it used up so quickly?"

The old nanny lowered her head. The medicine seller said that the medicine only needed to be used once or twice a day, but the fourth young master couldn't stand the pain, so he used it whenever he felt pain, and sometimes used it three or four times a day. Isn't it normal if it doesn't last long?

"How many times can it be used?"

"Once?" Facing the mistress's unexpected eyes, the old nanny quickly changed her words, "Twice is barely enough."

"Take the silver and buy another bottle."

"Madam, the second room..." The old nanny was embarrassed. She spent so much silver on medicine for the fourth young master in a short period of time. The public was already very dissatisfied. Luo was the mistress of the house, but she couldn't ignore the opinions of other people in the family. She had a feeling that if she went to the account office to withdraw money again today, the second house would definitely make a scene if they knew about it.

Thinking of the second house, Luo Shi also had a headache, "Forget it, I'll put the money into my private account."

"I know, I'll do it right away."

Luo Shi wanted to tell her son that the medicine was expensive and asked him to save it, but she couldn't bear it when she saw her son calm down.

Zhao Bin woke up from his daze and asked, "Mom, isn't Dad back yet?"

Luo Shi glanced at the sky and guessed that the morning court had been over long ago, right? The master should be home by now.

Her heart skipped a beat inexplicably, reminding her of the time when the Zhao family was impeached by Lu Desheng, and the master also didn't return for a long time after leaving the court. She shook her head, feeling that her idea was a little wrong, but the ominous premonition in her heart couldn't be shaken off.

"Madam, Madam, it's not good, it's not good." With an anxious shout, a middle-aged man hurried in.

The person who came in was Zhao Wenkuan's long-time attendant. Wherever he appeared, it proved that Zhao Wenkuan was there.

When Luo saw the person coming, she immediately stood up, "Ma Tiejun, is the master back?"

The master was back, but he almost destroyed the study! "Yes, Madam, go and have a look."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Just as Ma Tiejun was about to catch up, he was stopped by Zhao Bin, "Uncle Ma, is my father back?"

Facing the fourth young master's hopeful eyes, Ma Tiejun said tactfully, "Yes, he is back, but he may not be very happy." But he didn't know much, he just heard some of the adults who left the palace after the court.

Unhappy? Why? Zhao Bin didn't think about the failure of the plan. Later, he knew it. Their plan to flatter and kill failed! Lu Desheng didn't fall for it, and the Lu family still had a gold medal of immunity from death! The Xie family lost a position as the Minister of the Dali Temple! He didn't know what the Zhao family lost, but the loss must be huge. It is true that the Xie and Zhao families are in-laws, but the Zhao family must have exchanged resources for the Xie family's efforts.

Such an amazing three-step plan failed at the beginning, how could it be so? Is it really that God is on the side of the Lu family? He was full of expectations, but in exchange for such a disappointing result, he couldn't accept it!

Bang, Zhao Bin punched the bed hard with a fist and roared, "Why, why doesn't God have eyes!"

Then, Zhao Bin, who was so angry that he fainted! There was another upheaval in the backyard of the Zhao family.

As soon as Lu Songli returned to Xiaofeng Courtyard, he saw Chen Rong waiting there, his face flushed and his spirits high, as if he had encountered something good.

Lu Songli glanced at Lu Mingzhi, and Lu Mingzhi said, "Second sister, can I go to the study to read?" He wanted to be a clingy little tail today.

"Go ahead."

As soon as Lu Songli finished speaking, a servant immediately came forward to lead Lu Mingzhi and then served tea and snacks.

Lu Songli led Chen Rong to the living room.

As soon as Chen Rong came in, she said happily, "Second Miss, we sold another bottle of medicine today! Here is the silver note."

"That's good."

Bing Mo stepped forward to take the silver note.

Chen Rong: "It's just that the people from the Zhao family who came to buy medicine today complained that the medicine was too expensive and asked if it could be cheaper."

Lu Songli refused, "No, it's three thousand taels a bottle, you can buy it or not." Once she agreed to lower the price, no matter how much it was reduced, the other party would think it was expensive.

When she learned from Qin Sheng that the Zhao family was asking around for painkillers, Lu Songli knew that they should be looking for anesthetics.

If you don't make money, you're a bastard. She wanted to use anesthetics to get some money from the Zhao family. So, she got a porcelain bottle and gave it to Chen Rong, asking him to find someone to disguise it and sell it to the Zhao family at a high price.

Her bottle of medicine was specially processed. In addition to the necessary ingredients, some neutral herbs were added. They did not affect the medicinal properties, but were the denominator to confuse people. All these herbs were ground into powder. Even if the Zhao family took it for analysis, it would be difficult to analyze it.

In fact, if she had time, she would change a few herbs and make it into a paste. It would be better for treating leg diseases.

And the high price she said was really high. She sold him three thousand taels for one bottle. It was a fixed price. If you don't want it, forget it! Anyway, she just wanted to take advantage of the fire, so what!

Chen Rong still remembered the scene when the second lady called him and asked him to sell medicine, saying that a bottle of medicine would sell for three thousand taels.

Three thousand taels? Chen Rong, who was holding the bottle casually, immediately changed to holding his heart with both hands. This small bottle is worth three thousand taels. If it is accidentally broken and the medicine powder is scattered, he will not be able to compensate for it even if he sells it.

He confirmed again and again at that time, is it really going to sell for three thousand taels a bottle?

The second lady comforted him at that time, saying that the price of the medicine is a bit high, but it should be sold.

He also complained in his heart at that time: This small bottle of medicine is sold for three thousand taels, that is not a high price, that is a sky-high price!

Because it is called a bottle, but it is actually a palm-sized bottle. You can imagine how much medicine powder is in it, and how many times it can be used.

He walked out with the medicine while thinking, the second lady is quite black-hearted. Such a small bottle of medicine powder is sold to the Zhao family for three thousand taels, and she is determined not to reduce the price, not even one tael. Isn't she afraid that the Zhao family will not buy it because it is too expensive?
