Chapter 178 Evidence
What price gouging?
The old lady frowned.
"Old Madam, I could have bought this Baoji Ginseng Pill for only ten thousand taels of silver."
However, because of Aunt Wu's prejudice against Yan'er, she kept bidding against me all the way, and in the end, the young master spent 100,000 taels of silver to win her over..."
"You mean the Wu family was also involved in this?"
He Yuyan gave a bitter smile.
"Yan'er never expected to run into Aunt Wu."
Moreover, it seems she knows some very important person.
I was complimented and seated in a VIP room on the second floor.
Hearing He Yuyan say this, the old lady felt uneasy.
As soon as Ting'er was away from the capital, his two concubines caused trouble for him everywhere.
No, she had to send a letter to Ting'er urging him to come back immediately.
"Zhang Mama, go and call Wu Shi over here."
We should hear why she's going against the He family.
Upon hearing the old lady invite her over, Wu Weiwei's lips curled up slightly.
Perfect timing, she also wanted to go to Yong'an Hall to meet the female lead.
"Weiwei greets the Old Madam!"
"Get up!"
The old lady's voice sounded quite kind.
"Wu, I heard you also went to Jubaolou today and bumped into He?"
Listen to how the old lady addresses He Yuyan.
Wu Weiwei immediately understood that He Yuyan had probably been scolded by the old lady.
"Reporting to the old lady, Weiwei did indeed go to Jubaolou."
"I heard that you not only went to Jubaolou, but also had a conflict with her over a pill?"
Did Master Jiang spend 100,000 taels of silver to buy this pill?
Is this true?
Wu Weiwei looked at He Yuyan, whose eyes were red and swollen.
She scoffed inwardly.
So she's trying to sow discord and cause trouble for herself.
Moreover, in order to gain the old lady's sympathy, he even put on a crying scene for her.
Wu Weiwei knelt down.
"Grandma, it is true."
But Weiwei didn't mean to compete with Sister He.
"It's because I also have my eye on this pill, and Vivi wants to get it too..."
The old lady's gaze turned sharp as she looked at Wu Weiwei kneeling down.
Yan'er wanted to get the Baoji Pills because she wanted to give them to herself.
But what was Wu Shi's motivation?
Facing the old lady's sharp gaze.
Wu Weiwei sighed and said, "To be honest, Madam."
Two weeks ago, a newly developed medicine formula from Vivi Pharmacy's research and development lab was stolen.
The identity of the thief was not identified at the time.
But after seeing this pill at the auction today, I know in my heart who stole my prescription…
Upon hearing this, He Yuyan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Even the old matriarch looked at her, completely bewildered.
"Ms. Wu, are you implying that the pill Yan'er bought was made from your stolen prescription?"
Wu Weiwei looked up.
"That's right, I suspect that the pills at today's auction are the same pills from the Wei Garden prescription."
That's why they decided to spend a lot of money to buy it.
"Nonsense! I've heard that this pill was developed by the Rong family of Jiangnan at great expense. How could it possibly be made from your stolen formula?"
The old lady did not believe him.
Wu Weiwei smiled bitterly, "I knew the old lady wouldn't believe it."
So Vivi found the evidence and the witnesses..."
The old lady frowned as she looked at her.
"What evidence?"
"Wanqiu, bring the things up for the old lady to see."
Wanqiu handed over the box she had brought.
Unfold.
Everyone noticed that there were three crystal-clear white pills lying inside.
"This is……"
He Yuyan looked at the pill with a surprised expression.
"Aunt Wu, you..."
He Yuyan suddenly realized.
"Were those three pills that His Highness Prince Min bought at the auction yours?"
Wu Weiwei slightly raised the corners of her lips and chuckled softly:
"Sister He, this is the Ansheng Baoji Pill that my pharmacy has newly developed."
Jingyun Inn.
Ma Hongmao led his men excitedly toward the inn.
After several days of continuous preparation, he had gathered all the medicinal materials that Young Master Hao needed.
Once the huge sum of two million is paid here, all the medicinal herbs he rented in the warehouse on the outskirts of Beijing can be delivered to this wealthy second-generation rich kid from Xiliang.
Ma Hongmao arrived at the inn's front desk.
"Shopkeeper, could you please inform him that I am looking for Young Master Hao?"
He has already checked out and left.
"What did you say?"
Ma Hongmao raised his voice, thinking he had misheard.
The loud noise made the shopkeeper next to him frown.
"Sir, if you are not staying at the inn..."
Please go elsewhere and make your noise; don't disrupt our shop's normal operations.
"you……"
Ma Hongmao was so angry he wanted to kill someone.
He grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar. "You're lying to me, aren't you?"
When did the person surnamed Hao check out of the room?
He had been here a couple of days ago, and at that time, Young Master Hao had invited him to a teahouse for tea.
We talked for an hour about the local customs and culture of Xiliang.
As a merchant who traveled to various places, Ma Hongmao naturally had contact with people from Xiliang.
Seeing that he actually knew so much about the local customs and culture of Xiliang, she finally let down her guard.
But to my surprise, it only took two days!
After he had prepared all the medicinal herbs, he actually disappeared.
What's infuriating is that I know absolutely nothing about him.
They even believed his nonsense based solely on a contract he wrote down.
Where can he find someone now?
"Tell me honestly, are you in cahoots with him?"
The thought of losing two million taels of silver made Ma Hongmao feel a sharp pang of heartache.
Not to mention that he had already mortgaged all his family property just to raise the goods he needed.
Thinking about the high-interest loans he had taken out, and the consequences that all of this would bring.
Ma Hongmao's eyes turned blood red.
"This, sir, please let me go."
I don't know this Mr. Hao at all.
Besides, he was just a guest staying at the hotel.
I'm just a manager, what right do I have to interfere with his stay or leave..."
Seeing that the shopkeeper was being threatened, several thugs surrounded Ma Hongmao.
"Let go of our shopkeeper immediately."
Let me tell you, you can't afford to offend the master behind our family..."
Seeing the menacing thugs, Ma Hongmao recalled the rumors he had heard.
It is said that the power behind this inn is the Crown Prince, even though he now has a relationship with his uncle Chen Minghui.
But he didn't know the Crown Prince, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
Ma Hongmao hesitated for a moment before letting go of the shopkeeper.
The thugs did not actually lay a hand on Ma Hongmao.
But at the shopkeeper's signal, he was ruthlessly kicked out.
After being kicked out of the inn, Ma Hongmao hurriedly ran towards the Duke of Chen's mansion.
He can ask Chen Minghui for help.
He has a wide network of connections, so I'm sure he can help me find this guy named Hao Gongzi.
royal palace.
Emperor Cheng of Ming, accompanied by several concubines, stood guard to one side.
Under the watchful eyes of several officials, Consort Kang finally took the Baoji Ginseng Pill presented by Rong Sheng.
At first glance, Consort Kang's complexion did not appear to change after taking the pills.
A moment later, a suspicious blush gradually appeared on her pale, thin face.
However, he did not wake up.
Sitting nearby, the court official was taking Consort Kang's pulse. He was relieved to find that her pulse was normal.
The imperial physicians were all amazed when they saw it.
"It truly is a miraculous medicine; Consort Kang hasn't had such a healthy complexion in a long time..."
"It seems the medicine that Lord Rong offered is truly effective!"
