As Fang Hou continued to speak, the more dissatisfied he became, and the more he sympathized with Cheng Ruize.
However, Cheng Ruize just chuckled, the lift of his eyebrows filled with absolute slyness, “Actually, this matter isn’t really difficult to solve.”
“What do you mean?” Fang Hou was somewhat surprised.
Considering that Miss Yan doesn’t even listen to Cheng Ruize’s advice and even tries to play tricks on him, now Cheng Ruize is claiming that this isn’t difficult.
His own young master, could he have become muddled?
“How else would I mean?” Cheng Ruize chuckles resoundingly. “It doesn’t matter that Cousin Yan doesn’t listen to me or her uncle, as long as she listens to one person, this matter will be easy to deal with.”
Listen to one person?
Fang Hou paused and startled, and then quickly smacked his forehead, “How foolish I am, I almost forgot that. I will go and have a talk with Doctor Zhuang, and ask him to help and persuade her.”
“Go ahead.” Cheng Ruize nodded with a smile.
Fang Hou wasted no time, and after acknowledging the order, he immediately rushed to Cheng’s herbal shop.
Upon arriving at Cheng’s herbal shop, Zhuang Wencheng was treating patients in the main hall, and the rest of the medicine apprentices and shop clerks were all busy at their work.
Among these people, Fang Hou did not notice the charming and gorgeous figure of Rong Shuangyan.
Good, she is not around.
Fang Hou breathed a sigh of relief and seized the opportunity to approach Zhuang Wencheng, “Doctor Zhuang.”
“Brother Fang Hou?” Zhuang Wencheng quickly greeted him, then frowned and asked, “Why are you here at this time? Is the shop manager not feeling well?”
As Fang Hou served closely to Cheng Ruize, if he made a special visit to the herbal shop in such a hurry, Zhuang Wencheng was justified in suspecting that he came for something really important.
“No, no.” Seeing Zhuang Wencheng misunderstanding, Fang Hou quickly explained in a low voice, “There’s nothing wrong with the shop manager, I’m looking for you, Doctor Zhuang, because of another important matter.”
“What’s the matter?” Zhuang Wencheng, hearing that it was a matter of importance, asked with a furrowed brow.
“Isn’t it all about Miss Yan, something that troubles everyone.”
Fang Hou sighed, “I must say that you, Doctor Zhuang, have certainly been put through a lot these days. Miss Yan is usually willful and obstinate. Once she makes up her mind about something, not even ten bulls can pull her back. Given that Miss Yan has always been around the shop, you must have endured a lot for her behavior.”
“Actually, it’s not as much of a burden as you think.” Zhuang Wencheng blinked his eyes. “Miss Yan, her character is really not bad.”
“Oh come on Doctor Zhuang, you don’t have to defend Miss Yan. I’ve been by the shop manager’s side for so long, don’t you think I know what Miss Yan is like? She is so audacious and undisciplined because she has been indulged by Mr. Rong and Mrs. Rong. That’s why she has earned the nickname ‘the terror of ghosts’!”
“Well… Miss Yan is usually very loyal.” Zhuang Wencheng argued again.
“Yes, she is indeed loyal, especially when fighting, she always fights ruthlessly! Look how many problems she has caused since childhood. Mr. Rong is sick of this issue. Anyway, Miss Yan is definitely not easy to deal with.”
“Cough…” Zhuang Wencheng covered his mouth and coughed twice.
“So, it’s been hard on you, Doctor Zhuang.”
“Cough, cough…” Zhuang Wencheng coughed twice again.
“Doctor Zhuang, are you okay?” Fang Hou noticed that Zhuang Wencheng had started to cough all of a sudden whereas he was fine before, and his eyes were blinking hard. He was extremely surprised.
“No, I’m fine.” Zhuang Wencheng waved his hand and gave Fang Hou a look.
His eyes were filled with sympathy.
He was fine, as for whether Fang Hou was fine or not, that’s another story…
As Zhuang Wencheng was thinking, an apprentice, who was grinding medicine nearby, dropped the pestle on the floor with a bang, walked over, grabbed the collar of Fang Hou’s coat, and glared at him angrily.
Seeing that Zhuang Wencheng was acting strangely, Fang Hou was suddenly grabbed by the collar, it was so sudden that he was taken aback. Upon seeing that the person who grabbed him was none other than Rong Shuangyan, his eyes almost fell out and he stammered, “Mis…Miss Yan.”
“Miss Yan, I was so near not recognizing you in this outfit.” Fang Hou quickly put on a smile.
“Given that I’m so audacious and headstrong, of course I can pull off anything.” Rong Shuangyan snorted, probably thinking it was too rude to hold Fang Hou this way in front of Zhuang Wencheng. She let go of him, but still shot him an angry look.
If glares could kill, Fang Hou thought he would have been full of holes and looked like a sieve by now.
“Cough…” Fang Hou laughed obsequiously, “Not really, I hadn’t finished speaking, Miss Yan. You must allow me to finish.”
Rong Shuangyan gave Fang Hou a glance, but didn’t interrupt. She motioned for him to continue, apparently keen on hearing what fanciful story Fang Hou could come up with.
Fang Hou swallowed hard, then continued, “Miss Yan, in the eyes of others, you are headstrong and often cause trouble, but as Doctor Zhuang said, you are very loyal and of good character.”
“Not to mention other things, just by looking at you, wearing the apprentice’s clothes and grinding medicine here, it’s clear how hard-working you are. You are truly embodying the devoted heart of a medical practitioner! I’m really impressed, sincerely impressed!”
Rong Shuangyan gave Fang Hou another look, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions.
She had to admit, she was quite impressed with Fang Hou, for his audacious flattery.
“Spare me your flattery.” Rong Shuangyan snorted. “Just out with it, why did you come to the shop out of the blue and talk trash about me to Brother Wencheng? What’s your plan?”
Being caught red-handed conspiring against her was embarrassing in itself and to have it mentioned again was even worse for him. Fang Hou was put in an awkward position, so he just laughed and laughed, “Miss Yan, you misunderstood, I wasn’t really badmouthing you. It was just a rhetorical technique, by first presenting the negative and then the positive. I just wanted to praise Doctor Zhuang for his great temperament and gentle nature.”
“So after praising Brother Wencheng, were you planning to butter him up so that he could speak well of you in front of me, to persuade me to go back home sooner?” Rong Shuangyan asked, making a grimace.
Well done, Miss Yan.
