The Farm Girl’s Charismatic Fortune
Chapter 274 - 270: Kneel before me!

Chapter 274: Chapter 270: Kneel before me!

Madam Zhuang saw that Ruo Shan had stopped talking and breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew his place and acquiesced to the situation.

However, even if he had said more, it would have been useless because he had no evidence to prove that he didn’t pick the wrong medicine.

Fortunately, the servant from Master Pan’s household knew their butler, and when he found out that Master Pan was coming to settle accounts with the medical pavilion, he informed their butler in advance, who then told her.

This gave her time to prepare.

Otherwise, once Master Pan showed up to cause a scene and they checked the prescriptions, it would have been irredeemable.

The medical pavilion stored the prescriptions used for treating patients every day and would only discard them after a year had passed.

This was also to prevent people from falsely accusing the medical pavilion of dispensing the wrong medicine.

The majority of the patients who came for treatment took their medicine directly from the medical pavilion and didn’t take the prescriptions with them.

There were also people who would take the prescriptions with them, but that was not a concern because the prescriptions were written by them, and they would certainly recognize them.

Incidences like today, where the wrong medicine had been dispensed, were actually quite rare.

Madam Zhuang then said to Ruo Shan, "Apologize to Master Pan, and then pack your bags and leave!"

Apologize? Ruo Shan suddenly looked up and glared at Madam Zhuang.

He might acquiesce, but it was impossible for him to apologize!

He had his dignity too.

Fang Yingying panicked, her eldest sister-in-law was really stirring the pot!

She was well aware of Ruo Shan’s temperament.

If he hadn’t done anything wrong, he definitely would not apologize.

His kind nature valued loyalty and righteousness, and many times he would compromise for the sake of these values, but if he had done nothing wrong, he wouldn’t apologize; apologizing would be admitting fault.

Silence did not mean admission; it was just that he was pressured by loyalty and righteousness to make a concession.

Fang Yingying hurriedly said, "Master Pan, we are very sorry, our medical pavilion was at fault, and I apologize to you!"

Master Pan hadn’t originally intended for Ruo Shan to apologize, but since Madam Zhuang suggested it, and observing his defiant expression, he felt he had to discipline this attendant, "Your apology doesn’t count, he must kneel down and apologize!"

Ruo Shan, "I never apologize for something I didn’t do wrong."

Madam Zhuang’s face darkened as she warned Ruo Shan, "You show no remorse! And that’s right, a man’s knees are as precious as gold, it’s normal for you not to apologize. If that’s the case, then Ganoderma Medical Pavilion will not compensate on your behalf for more than ten years! You compensate by yourself! Besides, if you don’t kneel to apologize, then compensate Master Pan with a hundred taels of silver! Master Pan, what do you think?"

"Fine, if he doesn’t kneel to apologize, he must compensate a hundred taels of silver and a Lingzhi mushroom that’s more than ten years old to replenish my father’s health, and I will let this matter pass."

He doubted an attendant like him could produce a hundred taels! A ten-year-old Lingzhi, although not very aged, was still very precious.

"Compensate you with a big ghost!" At this moment, a fierce yet childish voice interjected.

Ruo Shan looked up to see his sister-in-law holding his precious niece walking in.

He hurriedly went forward to take his niece, "Fourth sister-in-law, Xuanbao, why have you come!"

Madam Liu said discontentedly, "If we didn’t come, you would have been completely slandered!"

"Princess Wuyou has arrived! Kneel down!" Ruo Xuan, in Ruo Shan’s arms, who was still holding an apple that she had eaten more than half of, stretched out her other hand and pointed fiercely at Madam Zhuang, Fang Boshan, and Fang Yingying, "You, and you, and you! All three of you, kneel down!"

Ruo Xuan’s plump little fingers pointed, and those pointed at involuntarily fell to their knees with a thud.

The three members of the Fang Family felt as if their knees had shattered, the pain piercing to the core.

Everyone in the medical pavilion was stunned!

Princess Wuyou has arrived?

That’s right, a Commandery Princess had emerged from their Shaxi County, a fortunate Commandery Princess!

Thus, all the people in the medical pavilion, including those outside enjoying the spectacle, knelt down one after another.

The so-called Master Pan was taken aback as well and followed suit by kneeling down.

Apart from Madam Liu, who held Xuanbao in her arms, there was not a soul standing in the medical pavilion.

Then, the crowd stumbled out with the greeting, "We commoners pay our respects to the Commandery Princess."

Ruo Xuan blinked her large eyes at the crowd sprawled on the ground, "I only told those three to kneel, I didn’t tell you all to kneel!"

The crowd: "..."

Ruo Shan, holding back his laughter, whispered to his beloved niece, "Xuanbao, say ’You are excused from formalities.’"

Ruo Xuan: "Oh, right! I forgot."

Then she cleared her throat and said with all due solemnity, "You are excused from formalities!"

The crowd really wanted to laugh, this little girl was so adorable, but could it really be her who cultivated rice that yields a thousand pounds per acre?

Everyone stood up one after another, and Madam Zhuang did the same.

It was only then that Madam Zhuang remembered that Ruo Shan’s little niece had become Princess Wuyou.

It was mainly because Ruo Shan stayed in the medical pavilion every day, hardworking and uncomplaining, never returning home; she thought he must have had a poor relationship with his family and could not leave the pavilion.

Otherwise, why would he still stay in the pavilion, appearing as though he wished to become a live-in son-in-law, inheriting the medical pavilion?

But what of it, even if she’s a Commandery Princess?

A Commandery Princess cannot bend the law for personal gain or shield her family from wrongdoing.

Imperial officials exploiting their power for personal matters and covering up for family is a serious crime.

Ruo Xuan glared at her and pointed her chubby finger at the three, "You, you, and you! Don’t you dare stand up!"

The three, who had started to rise, knelt down again.

Ruo Xuan pointed to a crumpled ball of paper with ink marks beside Madam Zhuang’s feet and turned to the young master Pan, "You pick up that ball of paper and take a look."

"Yes, Commandery Princess," said young master Pan as he moved forward to pick up the crumpled paper and presented it respectfully to Ruo Xuan with both hands.

Although Princess Wuyou looked to be only three or four years old, a Commandery Princess was a Commandery Princess, and to show disrespect to a Commandery Princess was also a grave offense.

Young master Pan suddenly regretted his recent relentless pursuit of Ruo Shan; who could have imagined that a mere medicine attendant would turn out to be the uncle of Princess Wuyou.

With a Commandery Princess in the family, and he still came to work as a medicine attendant at the medical pavilion, had he lost his mind?

When Madam Zhuang saw the paper ball, her face turned white.

How had the prescription note fallen out?

Just before, the butler had informed her that young master Pan was on his way to the medical pavilion to settle accounts, and she quickly took out the prescription, asking her husband to copy it afresh and to correct the errors.

She had just finished when young master Pan stormed in, with no time to dispose of the old prescription, she hastily stuffed it into her sleeve.

She thought it was foolproof, so how could it fall out just by kneeling down?

Ruo Xuan did not take the crumpled paper but asked, "May I inquire of all the uncles and aunties present, who saw where this ball of paper came from?"

Upon hearing Princess Wuyou address them as uncles and aunties, they found it too polite, too endearing!

They spoke out one by one, "I saw it! It fell out of Lady Fang’s sleeve."

"Yes, I saw it too."

"Right, I also saw it. When Lady Fang knelt down just now, the paper ball fell from her sleeve."

...

Everyone spoke out because Xuanbao had just cast a spell, allowing everyone to see!

At this point, they still didn’t know what Ruo Xuan was planning, thinking she merely wanted to find the owner of the paper ball and return it to its rightful place.

Unexpectedly, Ruo Xuan said, "Young master Pan, please do the trouble of unfolding it and read it out loud for everyone to hear."

"Yes, Commandery Princess," young master Pan unfolded the prescription.

"You shall not open it! That is my property!" Madam Zhuang panicked, attempting to rush forward to snatch the prescription back, but as she moved, Ruo Xuan threw the nearly finished apple core from her hand: "Don’t move a muscle!"
