If he could get a pill that could help him advance, then as long as his strength improved, he would have a chance to compete for the position of young master of the family!
Just as he was deep in thought, he heard the voice of someone next to him.
"I heard that the tokens came from a strike auction. Because the number is limited, no one would sell them even if they got them. They would usually keep them. Moreover, very few people can get them. My father spent a lot of effort to get the two tokens. Unfortunately, after buying the elixir, the two tokens were taken back."
"A place like this, not to mention that the head of the Zhao family would not dare to provoke it, even the big families in our city would not dare to provoke it easily!" A man murmured. He never expected that such an inconspicuous shop would contain such a force.
On the other side, in the pharmacy, Du Fan took Guan Xilin to the inner room to chat for a while. After learning that he had met the master before, he smiled and said, "In that case, I will take you back to see the lady first!"
"Okay, I came here this time just to see my stepmother and tell her not to worry about Xiaojiu. I will stay here until she comes back." Guan Xilin said as he stood up and walked outside with him.
Du Fan asked him to wait for a while, and after instructing the clerk in the pharmacy, he took Guan Xilin out of the pharmacy and went to the courtyard where they lived.
In the courtyard, Leng Shuang took personal care of Shangguan Wanrong, and Leng Hua, in addition to taking care of household affairs, would occasionally take turns going to the medicine shop with Du Fan, because their master had been away for some time, and without her, the few of them always felt lonely.
"Madam, the weather is getting colder, please put on your cloak!" Leng Shuang was worried that she would catch a cold, so she took out the cloak and helped Shangguan Wanrong put it on.
Shangguan Wanrong pulled down her cloak and gave Leng Shuang a gentle smile: "Leng Shuang, sit down and chat with me."
Hearing this, Leng Shuang responded and sat down next to her. However, she was not good at speaking and didn't know how to chat with her, so she asked, "Madam, what do you want to talk about?"
"Let's talk about Xiaojiu! Tell me, how did you and your sister meet her?" She said with a smile, looking at Leng Shuang beside her, with anticipation in her heart.
Not being able to accompany her daughter as she grew up was a great regret in her heart. She could only learn about what her daughter had encountered and done over the years from the people around her daughter and from her own mouth.
Leng Shuang thought about it, and then told her in detail how they, the siblings, followed their master. However, one thing after another, when she finished one, she found that the lady would ask: What next
So, after an hour or two, she was the one talking and the lady was listening, it was not just a chat at all.
She was really not good at speaking, so she could only answer each question asked by her mistress. When she talked about how her master's identity was replaced, her face was ruined, and she had no home to return to, she saw that her mistress's eyes turned red and she started to cry, so she quickly stopped.
"Ma'am, it's over, you don't have to be sad." She comforted him clumsily.
Shangguan Wanrong shook her head, wiped away the tears that were falling, and said in a choked voice: "Xiaojiu, this child, only told me some good things and some happy things. After listening to you today, I realized that she actually suffered so much and endured so much pain."
