Chapter 494: Duan's Death
Chapter 494: Duan's Death
"One hundred and fifty taels and three taels of silver and sixty-two copper coins."
"One hundred and fifty taels, three taels, and sixty-five copper coins."
"One hundred and fifty taels and three taels of silver and sixty-seven copper coins."
After counting the last coin, Jiang Fubao was stunned.
Is opening a clinic so profitable?
Excluding the cost of medicinal materials, the wages promised to the servants, and the money for buying vegetables and seasonings, she could earn at least eighty or ninety taels.
No, the herbs didn’t cost any money.
Wow, I made more money.
"Xue Huan, I, your young lady, am going to get rich." Jiang Fubao's eyes were sparkling with stars, and her mouth was almost grinning to the back of her ears.
"Miss, you have never been poor. Just look at how much money Master Meng gave you for your birthday party." Xue Huan put the washbasin on the shelf. While speaking, she walked to the bedside and helped Jiang Fubao change clothes.
"That's different. This is money I made myself. It has a different meaning. But yesterday was the first day of business. It's normal to make a lot. Many people came to support us because of our godfather. There should be fewer people today. But even if I only make ten taels a day, it's still a lot. Think about it. Ten taels a day, how much can I make in a month? In a year?"
Jiang Fubao didn't dare to think about it too much.
After thinking about it, she even felt that ten thousand taels were just around the corner.
"Then I wish Miss to earn more money." Xue Huan's voice was soft.
She squatted on the ground to put shoes on Jiang Fubao, looking very well-behaved.
"Okay, when I make a lot of money in the future, I will take you to the imperial city for a trip! Then we will eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks." Jiang Fubao pinched Xue Huan's chubby face, and she lifted her sleeves to brush her teeth and wash her face.
"Young lady is the best to me. I don't know which one is more fun, the Imperial City or Jiangnan City?" Xue Huan's eyes were a little empty. She was recalling her previous trip to Jiangnan.
"I don't know. I've never been there either. When I grow up, I want to visit not only the Imperial City but the entire Tianling Kingdom." Jiang Fubao was brushing his teeth and his words were a little unclear, but Xue Huan could understand him.
"Tianling Kingdom? It's so big. We'll have to play here for a long time. Will the old lady be angry?" Xue Huan came back to her senses and saw Jiang Fubao rinsing his mouth after brushing his teeth. She held the spittoon to Jiang Fubao's chin and asked her to spit out the mouthwash in her mouth.
"Well, if grandma is angry, then I will take her to play, and then take grandpa with me. No, I have to take mom and dad with me, otherwise dad will cry."
Jiang Fubao thought more and more, even when he was washing his face, he was thinking about going out for a trip as a family in a carriage.
It’s better to sit separately.
The master and servant here are chatting happily.
In the backyard of the Shen family opposite the Jiang residence, Shen Hechi had a strange expression on his face. He said to the servant in front of him in a cold voice: "Are you sure she is really dead? Not faking her death?"
"To answer your question, young master, when I went there, Mrs. Duan had already died. There were corpse spots on her body. She must have been dead for some time. It cannot be false. If it weren't for the cold weather, the body would have already started to stink. After the master knew about this, he asked me to take care of Mrs. Duan's funeral. Duan has now been buried." The servant replied.
"Where is Duan buried?" Shen Hechi continued to ask.
"..."
"Ancestral tomb." The servant hesitated for a while before uttering two words.
Shen Hechi's hands clenched instantly, and the blue veins on his forehead throbbed wildly.
Those beautiful eyes actually held a hint of horror.
"Ancestral tomb? Haha, okay, I get it. You can go down. Remember, we haven't met today." Shen Hechi sneered, turned around and left.
He poisoned that bitch Duan.
It was exactly the same poison as the one my mother had been poisoned with, and sure enough, Duan also died.
According to the servant's description just now, before Duan died, she seemed to be running out of energy, just like my mother before she died.
Although he personally eliminated the murderer of his mother, Shen Hechi was not happy at all.
"Entombed in the ancestral tomb? Haha, you are really infatuated, then you shouldn't be separated from each other!" Shen Hechi returned to the house, he muttered to himself, his eyes full of resentment and viciousness.
The school is closed for three days, and today is only the second day, but Shen Hechi doesn't want to stay any longer.
He packed his clothes and left.
But at the gate, he met Jiang Fubao.
"Fubao, where are you going?" The last time they met was during the Chinese New Year. When Shen Hechi saw Jiang Fubao, his icy face softened a little.
Become softer.
"I'm going to the clinic? The clinic opened yesterday." Jiang Fubao stopped, looked up and looked at him blankly.
"Opened? Fubao, why didn't you tell me..." Shen Hechi drooped his lips, looking a little aggrieved.
"No, Brother Bujiu told me that you were going to join them in the Autumn Examination this year, so I didn't bother you. Besides, I run a clinic, not a restaurant. It's useless to tell you. How can I invite people to come to the clinic to show my support, right? How unlucky it is."
Jiang Fubao quickly explained.
After being together for a long time, she always saw the shadow of her father in Shen Hechi.
Afraid of saying something wrong, Shen Hechi burst into tears in front of her.
She is not good at coaxing people.
What annoys me most is men crying.
Of course, except for my biological father.
"I see. I'm relieved. I thought Sister Fubao and I were estranged. I will definitely work hard to pass the imperial examination this autumn. Sister Fubao, if I pass, can I take you to Jiangnan for a visit? I'm familiar with that place. Don't get me wrong. You can bring Xuehuan or your sisters... brothers."
Shen Hechi became irritable for as long as Meng Bujiu took Jiang Fubao to Jiangnan for fun.
He hesitated for a while, and finally asked the question.
"Forget it. I've been there before. It's pointless to go right after that. If you feel tired from studying and want to go out and play, wait until you and Brother Bujiu graduate from high school. Then we can go to the Imperial City together. I've never been there before."
Jiang Fubao refused.
Why did she go to Jiangnan with Shen Hechi for no reason?
We are not related at all, so gossip will spread later.
"Okay, alright." Shen Hechi was a little disappointed.
However, when he thought about going to the imperial city with Jiang Fubao, he soon became happy again.
"I'm going to the clinic." Jiang Fubao looked at the sun and it was getting late.
"Okay, then I'll go back to school too." Shen Hechi smiled and watched her leave.
When Jiang Fubao's back disappeared, the smile on his face also disappeared.
When he returned to the school, he found Meng Bujiu reading in the room, and he suddenly felt that a crisis was coming.
"Brother Meng, why don't you go back?" Shen Hechi asked him.
"I'm going to take the exam soon. If I don't work hard, how can I get in?" Although Meng Bujiu didn't like Shen Hechi, he still responded when Shen Hechi spoke to him.
"Brother Meng, if you pass the exam, will you go to the spring examination?" Shen Hechi asked again.
"Go." Meng Bujiu didn't even raise his head.
He turned a page of the book and looked at it carefully.
"Okay." Shen Hechi narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the bag in his hand, and sat down to read the book together.
The two never spoke again.
