She pretended to think: "Five hundred years of ginseng, that old man bought twenty taels, one thousand years of lingzhi... forty taels?"

  The shopkeeper shook his head, "Miss, the bill isn't calculated that way. Five hundred years and one thousand years, it's not just a matter of doubling the price." What a joke, this miss looked like she wasn't from an ordinary family, he must be trying to squeeze out more oil.

  "Then let the shopkeeper name a price."

  The shopkeeper thought for a moment and stretched out five fingers: "This number."

  "Fifty taels? Well, okay."

  "Five hundred taels."

  "Five hundred taels..." She looked embarrassed, glanced at the lingzhi mushroom, "A piece of tree bark is sold for five hundred taels, shopkeeper, isn't that a bit too black?" When she raised her head again, her face sank, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes, staring straight at the shopkeeper's face.

  "What did you say?" The shopkeeper thought to himself that things were not going well, today he had run into a tough customer. Just as he was about to put away the fake lingzhi, Feng Yuexia's eyes moved quickly and she grabbed his wrist with a swift motion, her iron-like grip making the shopkeeper break out in cold sweat. "What do you want to do?"

  At this time, Huang Quan brought the old man who had previously bought fake ginseng back to Baicao Hall. For a while, all the customers who were taking medicine and diagnosing at Baicao Medicine surrounded them, even people on the street sensed that something was happening here and gathered around to watch the excitement.

  Huang Quan walked over and whispered to her, "Miss, do you want to disperse the crowd first?" After all, they still had to do business in the future. If everyone knew that Baicao Hall sold fake medicine, it would likely affect their future business as well.

  Feng Yu Huan shook her head: "No need! With Bai Cao Tang being like this, there's no need to continue. Why not change the shopkeeper and change the business?"

  The shopkeeper's expression changed: "Little girl, don't talk too big! Do you know whose business this Baicao Hall is? Who is the person behind it?"

  Feng Yu pushed him forward with one hand, and the shopkeeper lost his balance and sat down on the ground with a thud.

  "You're saying that it's some big shot behind your back who made you sell the tree roots as ginseng and pass off the bark as lingzhi!"

  She said this, and the old man who was chased back couldn't help but take another look at the ginseng in his hand, "This... is it fake?"

  Huang Quan shook his head and said, "Old man, the medicine shop is for making money. If it's really a 500-year-old ginseng, would he sell it to you for just twenty taels? Even two hundred taels would be too little. What you're holding in your hand is just an old tree root, not even worth a single coin."

  "What?!" The old man was furious and slammed the ginseng onto the shopkeeper's face, pointing at him and scolding loudly: "You black-hearted merchant! You cheated me out of all my money and gave me a fake ginseng! This is something that could save lives! How could you do such a thing?!"

  At this time, the surrounding crowd also started pointing and whispering.

  The shopkeeper showed no courtesy to the old man, rushing over and raising his hand to slap him, but unfortunately, the hand that was raised halfway was firmly grasped by Huang Quan.

  This man was puzzled, how did the little girl who came today have such a big hand strength?

  "You've done something wrong and still want to hit people? Who gave you the audacity?" Under Huang Quan's push, the shopkeeper sat back down on the ground.

  What humiliation had he ever suffered? The shopkeeper pointed at Feng Yuexiang and loudly shouted: "I'm telling you! This Baicao medicine is opened by the current left prime minister Feng Jinyuan's family! I am the cousin of Madame Feng, and I see who dares to move me!"

  The husband of Madame Feng's cousin?

  He'd better not have said that, for as soon as he mentioned the Shen family, Feng Yu Heng became even more enraged: "The esteemed Feng manor, the Left Imperial Censor's great madam, how could she possibly have a relative like you? Privately acknowledging official relatives is against the law! Go to the underworld! Go report to the authorities! Tell them that there's someone here impersonating the Left Imperial Censor's relatives and committing fraud, ask this shopkeeper to go explain to the Metropolitan Governor himself what exactly is going on!"

  As soon as he heard that the official had arrived, the shopkeeper panicked and jumped up and down: "Where did this unruly woman come from? How could I possibly impersonate an official relative? I am clearly the maternal uncle of the Left Prime Minister's wife!"

  The Yellow Spring can't care about what the ghost is yelling, turned around and walked out the door, directly blocking a group of officials who were patrolling to the entrance of Baicao Hall: "Several officials, there is someone impersonating an official relative here, we want to report."

  The official heard it vaguely: "Claiming to be an official relative? Claiming to be a relative of which official?" While speaking, he led the team into Baicao Hall.

  The people in the hall automatically made way for the official, who walked directly to Feng Yu Heng's side. He looked at her, then looked at the shopkeeper who was jumping up and down and shouting, his brow furrowing: "Silence!"

  The shopkeeper's face turned bright red with rage as he stood with his hands on his hips - "What do you think you are? A few patrolling runners dare to interfere in the affairs of the Feng family?"

  "The head officer was taken aback: 'Feng's family? Which Feng's family?'"

  Without waiting for the shopkeeper's response, Feng Yu Heng raised her hand and revealed a token: "Naturally, it is the residence of His Excellency, Left Chancellor Feng Xian, Feng Jin Yuan."

  As soon as he saw the waist card, he hastily saluted Feng Yuhe: "I don't know which lady of the Feng manor this is?"

  "This is Miss Feng's second daughter."

  The official immediately bowed: "I didn't know Miss Feng was here, I apologize for the disrespect."

  Feng Yu Huan shook her head, pointing at the shopkeeper: "I don't know why this shopkeeper insists on saying that he is my mother's cousin." As she spoke, she handed over the fake lingzhi to the official: "Just now, he sold me this tree bark-made fake lingzhi, and used my mother's cousin's name to manage this Baicao Hall. I really can't believe our family would have such a relative, so I had the maid report it to Officer Big Brother, and asked you gentlemen to take him back to the yamen for further investigation." Moreover," she waved the deed in her hand, "this Baicao Hall has been under my aunt's name for many years, my mother was just managing on her behalf. To have such a shopkeeper is really chilling. I now declare that from today on, Baicao Hall will expel this person and never use him again."

  "Right!" The old man who had previously bought the fake ginseng also stepped forward and said, "I'll testify. At the same time, I'm going to sue this person for selling fake ginseng and cheating me out of my money."

  The shopkeeper had known something was amiss as soon as Feng Yu Heng took out the waist token from the Feng manor, and upon hearing that she was the second young miss of the Feng family, he knew this calamity would be hard to avoid.

  A few days ago, he received news from the Shen family that the second young lady of the northwest had returned and was not a kind person. She caused trouble at home, making it chaotic, and they were afraid she wouldn't have time for this side of things in the near future, so they told him to take good care of business.

  But unexpectedly, this second young lady actually found her way to Baicao Hall, and...

  He stared at the deed in Feng Yu Heng's hand, his heart sinking.

  The land deed is in her hands, can't she even win against her own cousin?

  It shouldn't be like this, even if my cousin loses, my niece will absolutely not lose, but why is it like this...

  After several psychological struggles, he was stunned on the spot. The official didn't care about those things, and Feng Yuexiang had all the evidence and witnesses on her side. Moreover, she was accused of being a relative of her own family, this matter cannot be taken lightly.

  "Come with us, shopkeeper!" The leading officer coldly gave a slight nod, and immediately two men stepped forward to lift the shopkeeper up.

  "Let me go! You can't catch me! I'm really a relative of the Feng family!"

  The official scowled and laughed, "Now the one telling you is the second young lady of the Feng family. Even if you are a real relative, that would only make you a distant cousin. In front of the second young lady, you are nothing! Take him away!"

  With a wave of his hand, the people below quickly pushed the shopkeeper away until the shopkeeper's cries for help grew fainter and farther away. Only then did Feng Yuexiang nod to the leading officer: "Thank you, Officer, for stepping in and upholding justice. If this man were allowed to continue his reckless behavior, I fear that my family's Baicao Hall would become a target of public anger."

  "The second young lady is speaking nonsense." The official was very polite, "It's my honor to do things for the second young lady. If the second young lady has no other instructions, I'll take my leave first."

  Feng Yu nodded slightly and gave Qingyu a signal. Qingyu walked forward and quietly stuffed a large silver coin into the man's hand.

  The official was overjoyed and guaranteed that he would definitely catch the shopkeeper and bring him to the government office, and then hastily left.

  The onlookers at Baicao Hall who were watching the commotion all put down the medicinal herbs they had originally intended to buy and stared blankly at Feng Yu Heng.

  The scandal of the owner of Baicao Hall selling fake medicine, who dares to buy medicine here now! But they actually saw with their own eyes the real boss of this pharmacy scolding the despicable shopkeeper, that was truly a pleasure.

  At that moment, everyone who was lucky enough to witness this scene silently gave a thumbs up to Feng Yu Huang in their hearts.

  This also includes two people drinking tea on the second floor of a teahouse directly across from Bai Cao Tang.

  "Master, that girl is even more arrogant than she was in the northwest." The speaker was Bai Ze. Her impression of Feng Yuexiang had always been stuck in the deep mountains of the Great Northwest. She saw her again for the second time at the city gate on the day the army returned to the capital. But no matter which time, Feng Yuexiang was always disheveled and dusty, like a sensitive and thorny little leopard, and would scold her as soon as she spoke to her.

  This girl has been promoted one level today, she is well-dressed and has a bit of style, but her personality is still so sharp.

  But...

  "Well, Master, she really does match you quite well."

  Beside him sat a man, clad in purple robes, with a neat waistband tied around his waist, a jade crown holding back his hair, his back straight and his whole body exuding an aura of majesty and intimidation yet also carrying a hint of evil charm.

  The man wore a golden mask on his face, from the nose to the forehead, all covered by the mask, except for a small hole at the center of his eyebrows, where a faint purple color could be seen.

  Not someone else, but the current emperor's most favored ninth prince, newly appointed as the Royal Highness of Yuwang - Xuan Tian Ming.

  At this moment, Xuan Tian Ming's eyebrows were slightly lowered, staring intently at the Baicao Hall in front of him. Every move and every word of that little girl was being watched by him, and her every action was being listened to by his heart. Subconsciously, the corners of his lips curled up a few points... It's getting more and more interesting.

  "It seems that this king's queen is quite a good choice."

  Bai Ze nodded, "Master, it's not that I'm flattering you, but this Miss Feng is indeed a remarkable woman. The Feng family abandoned her in the deep mountains, but instead of starving to death, she lived an even more vibrant life. Not to mention how she handled the mistress of the Feng household after returning home, just talking about the way she treated your leg and that one-spraying thing, tsk, it's truly amazing."

  One night, after Feng Yu Heng left, Bai Ze escorted Xuan Tian Ming out of the mountain and unexpectedly encountered an ambush. Bai Ze was injured, and Xuan Tian Ming used Feng Yu Heng's bottle of spray to relieve his pain. From then on, Bai Ze had a deep impression of that bottle of magical medicine.

  "Look, now our queen is expanding her territory and starting to take over businesses outside."
