Near the dock in Fucheng, Jinzhen Escort Agency had rented a shop to attract new business. Recently, Zhao Jinge\u00a0 felt that just one shop was too small to house all the people and goods, so he bought a house in the city with the earnings Zheng Yi had just given to him from Qingfeng House and put up the plaque, \u201cJinzhen Escort Agency.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When he left the escort agency, he took his servant boy Ruo\u2019er with him to see a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After staying in the city for a long time, Zhao Jinge was already very familiar with the city, so it wasn\u2019t long before he came to a nearby pharmacy and found a doctor inside.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d the old doctor looked at Zhao Jinge and asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cNo, Doctor, I just want you to check if I am pregnant.\u201d Zhao Jinge held out his hand.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The doctor had seen a lot of things, so he wasn\u2019t surprised that Zhao Jinge was a ger, so he just smiled and took Zhao Jinge\u2019s pulse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge looked at the doctor expectantly, but after the doctor let go of his hand, he shook his head.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMadam, you are not pregnant,\u201d the doctor said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cOh . . .\u201d Zhao Jinge felt a little lost.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMadam you have been\u00a0 a little too tired lately, so it will not be easy to have a baby. If you want to get pregnant, you should rest, and I can also give you some prescription,\u201d the doctor added.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge was indeed a bit tired these days, and after thinking about it, he nodded his head and agreed, \u201cDoctor, then you can prescribe some medicine for me. I am having some trouble with sleeping lately. What should I take?\u201d Growing up, he hadn\u2019t taken much medication, but these days, he was distracted, making him exhausted, so he wanted to take some medication to improve his condition.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The doctor took a look at Zhao Jinge\u2019s tired face and his old clothes, which were made of good material. The doctor quickly prescribed him medicine, writing down red dates, gelatin, and other ingredients whose prices were not too expensive but could nourish the body.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The doctors on this side of the city were a little different from the doctors in Hecheng Country, but at the very least, they earned much more money than the doctors in Hecheng Country.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In fact, it would be fine if Zhao Jinge just had a good rest, but a little medicine to eat would not be bad, right?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou go over there and grab the medicine.\u201d The doctor finished preparing the prescription and then said to Zhao Jinge.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The prescription was not very expensive, only 70 copper coins for a package and could be added to his meals. Zhao Jinge took out 2 pieces of silver\u00a0 and bought 10 packages.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The medicine had to be weighed and measured, which took a lot of time, so Zhao Jinge waited on the side, a little lost in his own thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He didn\u2019t know what Jiang Zhen was doing at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although days turned a little warmer now, it was still a little cold. He didn\u2019t know how Jiang Zhen spent his days outside or how he lived; when it rained, did he have a place to stay . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n

If he got sick, he would be unable to get medicine from outside . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge became more and more uncomfortable when he suddenly felt that someone was falling his way.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although he was a little distracted, he was still alert, so when he noticed, he subconsciously got out of the way, making the person who staggered knock onto the counter of the pharmacy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The person was fine but not so lucky; she tore the medicine bag that was wrapped inside paper in her hands, making a lot of herb spill out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Only then Zhao Jinge noticed that the woman who almost fell was in her\u00a0 thirties. She was pale and looked very uncomfortable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge felt a little guilty at this result; if he hadn’t been distracted just then, he would have been able to catch her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAre you okay?\u201d Zhao Jinge asked, wanting to help the woman. \u201cSorry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But he didn\u2019t expect that by offering help, he would get in trouble.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMy medicine! You spilled my medicine!\u201d The woman grabbed Zhao Jinge hand to help herself up and immediately said, \u201cYou pay for it!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge was a bit overwhelmed by the reaction; it was true that he dodge but this medicine spilling has nothing to do with him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Moreover, although the medicine was spilled it could still be picked up and washed. Even frying it wouldn’t have much of an impact.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cPay me money!\u201d The woman’s face was still not very good and her fierce expression did not match her weak appearance at all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge frowned when he saw her appearance; he was quite good-tempered, but he was not happy to be so falsely accused. \u201cYou fell and hit the cabinet yourself, ripping the medicine bag. What does it have to do with me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s obvious that you pushed me!\u201d the woman said, with a twinkle in her eye. She also added, \u201cYou also touched me and took advantage of me!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In fact, everyone did not see clearly how that woman fell just then, but Zhao Jinge helping her was seen by many people.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At that moment, many people frowned as they looked at Zhao Jinge and were dissatisfied with him, a big man bullying a woman!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Took advantage of her?<\/span><\/i> \u201cI took advantage of you?\u201d Zhao Jinge could not help laughing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou\u2019re talking nonsense. How could my madam take advantage of you!\u201d Ruo\u2019er, who followed Zhao Jinge, also added.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Madam? When everyone took a closer look at Zhao Jinge, immediately, they became afraid that they might have wronged Zhao Jinge.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, that woman refused to give in. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with you being ger? It\u2019s not like there are no ger who like women! You spilled my medicine. You have to pay for it! You spilled my life-saving medicine and you still want to deny it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although she spoke\u00a0 aggressively, she didn\u2019t look too good. Her shaken looks made many people feel sympathetic to her. A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar saw this and also said to Zhao Jinge, \u201cYou are also at fault for this. You should pay her some money.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYes. You should compensate her a little,\u201d another person said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

From the way Zhao Jinge was dressed, although he didn\u2019t look very rich, it was clear that he didn\u2019t worry about clothes or food. He also brought a servant boy with him . . . Everyone thought that he should spend some money to settle this matter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Zhao Jinge only frowned and his tone became worse. \u201cWhy should I pay for it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge did not look very easy to mess with, so that woman shrank, becoming a little scared. But the middle-aged man who spoke first, asked Zhao Jing to pay for it and became more and more dissatisfied. \u201cYou are a ger. How come you have such a bad temper? You can\u2019t win the man\u2019s love at home, so you come here to show off your authority? How dare you bully a weak woman.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Jinge in disgust, and his words were vicious, making Zhao Jinge, who was already in a bad mood recently, even angrier, making him want to hit someone.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cSome people really like to lie with their eyes open.\u201d Just then, someone snorted coldly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When the crowd looked over, they saw a 27- or 28-year-old woman sitting at the table used by the pharmacy to\u00a0 entertain some distinguished guests, looking over with a cold smile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The table used by distinguished guests was separated from the pharmacy by bamboo curtains, but the curtain was lifted by a maid, allowing those outside to see the woman\u2019s appearance inside.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She was wearing gold and silver but didn\u2019t look tacky at all. On the contrary, she looked like a noble, and just with glance, they knew that her origin was extraordinary.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But even though she looked like a noblewoman, when she spoke, she was extremely impolite.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s obvious that this woman herself broke the medicine bag in her hand but still wants to frame others. But there is a group of people who still want to help her,\u201d the woman said before looking at Zhao Jinge: \u201cBoss Zhao, if you encounter such people in the future, you should not talk to them properly. Just directly slap them!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge has never seen this woman before, so he was a little surprised to see that the other party recognized him, but soon, he thought it was normal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He had recently taken on a lot of business from various women from big families, so he had made a name for himself in the circle of ladies in the capital. It was, therefore, not surprising that someone recognized him. He looked quite recognizable after all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge was grateful to the woman who helped him speak, yet he was also worried that he might have dragged her down with him, but he soon found out that his worries were unnecessary.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cLiao, Madam Liao.\u201d The middle-aged man who criticized Zhao Jinge trembled while looking at the woman in fear, then he said, \u201cI shouldn’t have spoken nonsense without seeing everything clearly. I really don\u2019t have eyes, Madam Liao. Please forgive me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you want to go away?\u201d Madam Liao gave another cold snort.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hearing what Madam Liao said, the middle-aged man hurriedly ran out and left quickly while the others whispered, \u201cThis is . . . the one of the Liao family?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt must be, or which Madam Liao could it be?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe tigress . . .\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

. . .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Even those who were far away from Madam Liao didn\u2019t dare to say anything, and after a moment, they also ran away as fast as they could.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When the woman who wanted to cheat Zhao Jinge heard the words, \u201cMadam Liao,\u201d she trembled before falling down and fainting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This time, Zhao Jinge dodged with peace of mind; not only that, he also did not help her get up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was estimated that this woman was not in very good health, so he indeed felt a little sympathetic but didn\u2019t dare to help such a person; he better let the pharmacy take care of it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

“Thank you, Madam Liao, for the help,\u201d Zhao Jinge said to the woman.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t help you.\u201d Madam Liao just glanced at Zhao Jinge and let her servant pull the curtain down again and bring her tea to drink.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Madam Liao obviously did not want to talk to him, so naturally, Zhao Jinge would not pester her to speak with him. He just planned to leave.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At that moment, Zheng Yi came in from outside. \u201cZhao Jinge, why did you come to the pharmacy? Are you not feeling well?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zheng Yi had gone to Jinzhen Escort Agency to look for Zhao Jinge, but he couldn’t find him, so he came here after some inquiry.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d Zhao Jinge said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMadam, your medicine is ready.\u201d The person who was in charge of preparing the medicine, finished preparing ten packages of it at that time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge was a little embarrassed and could only say, \u201cI had someone prescribe some medicine to nourish my body.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zheng Yi smiled and stopped asking about the things that Zhao Jinge didn\u2019t want to speak about, only saying, \u201cI came to find you because Jiang Zhen sent me something to give you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge\u2019s eyes lit up almost immediately, the exhaustion from his eyes almost dissipating. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cLet\u2019s find a place to sit down,\u201d Zheng Yi said with a smile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zheng Yi was not Zhao Jinge, so when he went out, he would bring a sedan chair. From the pharmacy, he would also take a sedan chair and then let people carry him to a restaurant not far away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was not meal time, but there were still many people in the restaurant. Zheng Yi gave Jiang Zhen\u2019s letter to Zhao Jinge and asked, \u201cBefore, in the pharmacy, something happened?\u201d The faces of some people at the pharmacy looked a little strange.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zhao Jinge was anxious to read the letter, but Zheng Yi asked a question, and he could not ignore him, so he explained briefly and concisely.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
