Shen Yunan suddenly felt a surge of frustration. He should have been on guard when Rou'er first mentioned that Xu Yuan might know something. Instead, he had dismissed the possibility, believing Xu Yuan incapable of such things, and had done nothing. Had he acted sooner, Xu Yuan would have been powerless to resist him. What humiliated him most was that a man of his standing had been slapped twice by Xu Yuan. The moment he found an opportunity, he vowed to bind her and return those slaps twofold.
When Xu Yuan met Shen Yunan’s malicious gaze, she knew exactly what the bastard was thinking. The idea that he might find another chance to deal with her was laughable. But first, Shen Yunan would actually need to have that chance.
Cuiliu soon brought the local officials. Because of Xu Yuan’s status—and the fact that the officials had heard the pharmacy was connected to the Master of Medicine King Valley and the Prince Regent—they dared not delay for a second and arrived with men in tow.
