Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Must Give an Explanation
His voice was filled with helplessness and panic.
Listening to this familiar voice, Su Yu focused her thoughts, trying to search her memory for its origin.
Just as she was deep in contemplation, the person stepped out from the inner chamber and their eyes met.
It turned out to be Doctor Shen, whom she had coincidentally met the day before at the Xuanhu Medical Hall in Clear Water Town. At this moment, he had a servile look, a stark contrast to the arrogance displayed by the attendant yesterday.
Seeing this, Su Yu couldn’t help but curl her lips into a mocking smile, thinking to herself, “Appearances can be deceiving.”
Doctor Shen clearly caught the hint of mockery in Su Yu’s eyes, and his heart burned with anger.
He had just suffered a scolding in the inner chamber, and his emotions were on the verge of exploding. Faced with Su Yu’s mockery, all he could do was suppress his anger and leave silently.
By chance, he ran into the village woman who had been treated at his own medical hall the day before. The woman’s face was adorned with a mocking smile, as if silently questioning his diagnosis from yesterday.
Upon closer inspection of the few ordinary dandelions in her basket, which were extremely common and inconspicuous, his anger was instantly ignited, and a nameless fire rushed to his forehead.
He strode forward and viciously overturned the bamboo basket in Su Yu’s hands.
“You don’t even look at how distinguished this place is. With just these few shabby herbs, you dare to step through this door!”
His tone was arrogant, his words permeated with an undeniable contempt and disdain, as if he was proclaiming his extreme disregard for Su Yu’s status.
This sudden act of violence caught Su Yu off guard. Her bamboo basket flew out of her hands as if swept by a gust of wind, crashing heavily to the ground with a dull and jarring thud.
She looked on in astonishment, her gaze fixed on the man behaving crazily in front of her, pondering to herself, “Is this guy out of his mind?”
The air around them instantly froze, and the crowd fell into an awkward and oppressive silence.
It wasn’t until a surprised murmur broke the suffocating atmosphere, “Oh my, it’s Red Ganoderma!”
This exclamation was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples and breaking the deadlock.
At the sound, Doctor Shen’s heart tightened, his gaze swiftly turned and fixed on the scattered items on the ground.
When he clearly saw the mysterious item hidden at the bottom of the basket, now revealed in the sunlight, his face dramatically changed, filled with shock and an intense regret. “My goodness, why did I have to do something so foolish!”
Su Yu quickly bent down to check her herbs. Fortunately, she had carefully cushioned the bottom of the basket with several layers of herbs, which had saved the precious Lingzhi from damage and escaped unscathed.
She deftly gathered the scattered herbs, rearranged them neatly, and then straightened up, her eyes blazing as she sternly questioned the man whose behavior had been deranged, “Getting angry at my herbs just because you were scolded, if you break them, can you afford to compensate me?”
At that moment, Doctor Shen was silently relieved that the Red Ganoderma was undamaged. After all, not being able to afford it was one thing, but he feared even more angering the powerful master behind him.
However, Su Yu clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest. She continued to angrily chastise him, “Yesterday when I went to your ‘Xuanhu Medical Hall’, your apprentice treated me with disdain. Today you openly destroy my property; you must give me an explanation!”
Doctor Shen was now so full of regret that he felt it in his very guts. Who could have expected that this seemingly ordinary peasant woman held such a rare treasure in her hands?
He had seen it clearly just now, that was a rare Red Ganoderma that only appeared once every hundred years!
The crowd around him had also seen everything clearly. Their faces showed shock as they whispered and murmured to each other, discussing the matter at hand.
The young attendant at the shop, realizing the severity of the situation, quickly trotted into the back room to report to Boss Zhou, who was inspecting the merchandise.
Boss Zhou could naturally hear the commotion outside very clearly. He was reluctant to get involved in such disputes, but when he heard that a rare treasure had appeared, he decided to come out and see for himself.
When he personally saw the radiant Red Ganoderma in Su Yu’s bamboo basket, his expression changed dramatically, and without hesitation, he raised his hand.
He delivered a resounding slap to Zheng Jun’s face.
“You, Zheng Jun, always crying poverty to me, saying the store can’t get good items, what is this then? Instead of welcoming a guest, you chase them away. It seems you no longer wish to work here!”
Boss Zhou’s anger was uncontainable as he reprimanded harshly with a stern voice.
Zheng Jun, having been struck by the slap, saw stars. Frightened, his face turned pale, his legs gave out, and with a thump, he fell to his knees, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy, “Boss Zhou, I was blind not to recognize the treasure, I know I was wrong. Please show mercy and spare me this time.”
Su Yu’s gaze was sharp, instantly focusing on Boss Zhou’s face, which seemed amiable but was, in fact, shrewd. She had already determined that this man was the head of the local business.
Given the situation, it was most appropriate for him to resolve this minor turbulence caused by a misunderstanding.
As for how he would scold or punish his rude subordinate Zheng Jun, she had no interest whatsoever in stopping to watch.
After all, there was only one purpose for her visit—trade.
So, Su Yu spoke with a calm tone and sharp words, her speech carrying an undeniable firmness, “Your domestic affairs can be settled slowly. For now, let’s prioritize verifying the goods. I am pressed for time and cannot wait.”
Facing Su Yu’s straightforward words, Boss Zhou not only showed no displeasure but instead put on a smile, which was as soothing as a spring breeze over a lake, fully revealing a merchant’s smoothness and sophistication.
He nodded in agreement and with a raise of his hand—the broad sleeve of his robe waving gently—he made an extremely respectful gesturing motion, “Very well, the lady is absolutely right. This way, please!”
Su Yu walked steadily, following Boss Zhou into the inner room.
Zheng Jun trailed closely behind her, like a shadow, seemingly fearing to anger the seemingly delicate but resolute young girl again.

His face showed a frightened expression, his eyes filled with deep apologies; he carefully poured a cup of clear tea for Su Yu with both hands, his words full of entreaty, “I was very offensive earlier, I hope the lady can forgive this one’s fault.”
However, Su Yu was not appreciative. Her gaze was as cold as frost, and she pushed away the tea cup offered by Zheng Jun without hesitation, her tone indifferent as a cold wind sweeping through a winter wasteland, “I cannot accept.”
With this push, Zheng Jun’s hand trembled, causing the teapot to sway slightly and some tea to spill out, wetting the table with a glistening sheen.
His face turned even paler, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead as his anxiety grew.
In haste, he immediately changed his plea, speaking rapidly in an attempt to salvage the situation, “Since the lady visited our humble store yesterday, I assume your residence is not far from town. Should you need anything from me in the future, just say the word, and I will do my utmost.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu’s anger had not subsided, but she realized it was better to settle enemies amicably whenever possible, leaving some room for manoeuvre in her actions.
