Chapter 1105: Reaching an Agreement
Translator: Lonelytree
Zhou Anping frowned and pondered.
It seemed that he should really befriend Lin Yuelan. This would not only Zhou Anping, but it would also help the person behind him.
Previously, he was really blinded by greed and did not think through it.
Zhou Anping had already decided to write a letter to the person in the palace, asking him to investigate if Lin Yuelan had any other background.
He didn’t believe that an ordinary peasant girl would have the courage and momentum to open Lin’s Medicine Store from a small town to a big city like
Qing Feng City at such a young age.
Moreover, she could fight against him without fear.
Just as Zhou Anping was sitting on the sofa and thinking, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan came in.
As soon as Lin Yuelan entered, Housekeeper Zhou greeted her politely, ” Young Master Lin! ‘
Lin Yuelan didn’t answer him. She looked at Zhou Anping, who was sitting on the sofa with a faint smile, and asked, ” Sir Zhou, you’re here now. It seems like you’ve thought it through.”
To Housekeeper Zhou, Lin Yuelan’s behavior was very impolite. He opened his mouth, wanting to teach Lin Yuelan a lesson. He wanted to let her know that she was facing Governor-General Zhou.
However, when he thought about how Lin Yuelan had always been an eccentric and fearless person, he endured it for the sake of his lord.
Although Zhou Anping had been taking painkillers given by Lin Yuelan for the past three days and did not feel so much pain, his face was still slightly pale. His lips were especially pale, and he looked very weak.
After all, it was only the pain that had been alleviated, but the condition had not.
However, he did not conceal his dignity. He looked at Lin Yuelan with a sharp gaze and said, ” I apologize for what happened before. I hope that Young Miss Lin can write off all the grudges after this?”
Butler Zhou was surprised to hear Zhou Anpings apology. ” Sir? You…”
Zhou Anping waved his hand to stop him from speaking. He just stared at Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were also surprised that Zhou Anping apologized as soon as they met.
The two of them looked at each other. Then, Lin Yuelan smiled and said, ” It’s better to make friends than enemies! I, Lin Yuelan, won’t offend anyone unless they offend me!’ Once someone offends me, I’ll return the favor
tenfold!”
This was telling Zhou Anping that as long as he did not offend her, she had no reason to target him!
Lin Yuelan wasn’t from a kind family.
She didn’t Imow what Zhou Anping’s motive was for him to think it through so quickly. However, Zhou Anping was the most powerful official in Qing Feng City after all. Putting aside her grudges against him temporarily could be considered as finding a backer for Lin’s Medicine Store and the Golden Origin Auction House.
With him behind them, he believed that no one would dare to lay their hands on Lin’s Medicine Store and the Gold Origin Auction House.
Of course, even if Zhou Anping didn’t know about her secret business, he would definitely protect it with Lin’s Medicine Hall as a link.
In short, officials and businessmen used each other. It was better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
In the face of benefits, Lin Yuelan could temporarily put aside this small grudge.
However, the prerequisite was that Zhou Anping was really tactful and did not look for trouble.
Zhou Anping understood what Lin Yuelan meant. He nodded and said, Young Miss Lin, I understand!
Jiang Zhennan walked to the desk and pulled her chair out. He adjusted the position of the chair, and Lin Yuelan sat down. She turned the chair around comfortably and crossed her legs. She placed one hand on the desk and rested her chin on it while the other hand rested on her thigh.
However, she said very seriously, ” That’s true. However, you still had to compensate for the 330,000 taels. Lord Zhou, I’m a businessman. Business is business!”
In reality, she was telling Zhou Anping that even if he put aside his grudge, she still had to teach him a lesson this time.
Since Zhou Anping had the intention to befriend Lin Yuelan, he would not bother about the three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Although this was a huge sum of money, if Lin Yuelan could really be used by that person in the future, then this price was still acceptable.
Zhou Anping nodded. ” Of course!”
Then, he nodded at Butler Zhou-
Housekeeper Zhou placed the box in his arms on Lin Yuelan’s desk and said very politely, ” Young Miss Lin, here are thirty-three taels of silver notes. Please check them!”
Lin Yuelan didn’t move. Jiang Zhennan, who was standing at the side, took the box and quickly counted it. After a while, he nodded to Lin Yuelan.
Then, Lin Yuelan stood up and walked to Zhou Anping. She smiled and said, ‘ Then, Lord Zhou, I hope we can work together! ‘
As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand.
Looking at Lin Yuelan’s fair, tender, and slender hand, Zhou Anping and Housekeeper Zhou were puzzled.
What was she doing?
Immediately, they felt a little awkward.
After all, in this era, there were very few women who showed their faces in public. They paid more attention to their reputation. When they went out, they had to wrap themselves up tightly. If they exposed their arms and legs, they would be criticized. They might even have to settle down in the ignorant village and guard the Buddhist lamp for life.
However, Lin Yuelan boldly extended her hand. It seemed like she wanted to shake hands with the man. This was too bold.
Lin Yuelan looked at their awkwardness and smiled. Then, she put her hand down.
Then, she said, Since we’ve reached an agreement, I’ll start treating you today! Because it’s just a relapse of an old illness. There’s no need for surgery. As long as you take a few doses of medicine, the illness will be cured.”
As she spoke, Lin Yuelan bent down and took out a piece of paper with a black charcoal pen she had made herself. Then, she began to write down the prescription.
Zhou Anping and Housekeeper Zhou could not help but exclaim in their hearts when they saw Lin Yuelan writing beautiful words with a stick instead of a brush.
After Lin Yuelan finished writing the prescription and handed it to Steward Zhou, she said, ” Take three portions of this medicine a day for three days!”
Housekeeper Zhou was a little excited as he took the prescription and asked, ‘ Young Miss Lin, after master takes this medicine, will masters illness be completely cured, and there won’t be a relapse?
When he thought about how he had spent 300,000 taels on these medicines, his heart ached.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, ” As long as you keep your mind open and don’t get depressed, your illness won’t relapse!”
This meant that as long as you weren’t so narrow-minded, nothing would happen.
In the past, Zhou Anping might have been very angry.
This was because it sounded like a warning and sarcasm.
However, they had learned their lesson this time and accepted Lin Yuelan’s explanation.
After Zhou Anping left with the butler, Lin Yuelan still couldn’t figure it out.
“How did this Zhou Anping figure it out so quickly? This doesn’t seem like the person who played tricks on me before.” Lin Yuelan asked doubtfully.
The most complicated thing in the world was the human heart.
Some people might be good people one moment, but the next moment, they might become bad.
On the contrary, some people were bad people one moment, and the next moment, they became good people.
Therefore, no matter how powerful Lin Yuelan was, she was unable to predict the changes in people’s hearts.
Jiang Zhennan pondered for a moment and said with some speculation, ‘i After this incident, he can be considered to have learned some lessons. Naturally, he thinks that you have value. Therefore, it’s naturally best if he doesn’t become enemies with you and becomes friends with you.”
When Lin Yuelan heard that, she frowned slightly and asked in confusion, ” Do I have any value?”
Jiang Zhennan nodded. ” That’s right! For a person, the more powerful they are, the more afraid they are of death. To them, befriending a divine doctor with excellent medical skills is only beneficial and harmless. And I reckon,”
At this point, Jiang Zhennan paused for a moment and continued, Zhou Anping must have believed that you have medical skills and methods because of this incident. Perhaps you can be used by the person behind him!”
Lin Yuelan nodded.
Then, she said with a headache, ” How troublesome!”
She had wanted to live a stable life as a farmer, but now she had to face one trouble after another.
However, she had no choice. Who asked her to fall into the trap?
Jiang Zhennan’s eyes darkened when he heard Lin Yuelan’s helpless complaints. Then, he pulled Lin Yuelan’s hand and said apologetically, ‘ I’m sorry, Yue ‘er. I’m the one who got you into trouble. ‘
His eyes were filled with deep self-blame.
If Yue ‘er hadn’t saved him back in the dark forest, she would still be that lively, happy, and free peasant girl.
Unlike now, where she had to face all kinds of scheming people and all kinds of conspiracies everywhere she went.
Fortunately, Yue ‘er was strong enough and smart enough. She also had a partner like Little Green, who possessed beyond human abilities, so Yue’ er could stay here safely.
However, in front of Yue ‘er, he felt very weak..
