A house full of cannon fodder reads my mind. Who knows? I’m going crazy.

Xu Zhimo didn't have enough money. The shopkeeper didn't know her and was unwilling to take credit.

After all, five thousand taels is not a small amount, and Xu Zhimo doesn't look like he can come up with it.

Xu Zhimo needed that medicinal ingredient, otherwise the birthmark on her face would not be removed. She was thinking about how to convince the drugstore shopkeeper when her sleeve was pulled.

Xu Zhimo lowered his head, and in front of him was a pink jade figure with big eyes as bright as obsidian, a cute little red mouth, a fleshy little face, as fair as jade, and delicate and beautiful eyebrows.

Seeing her lowering her head, Yan Bao showed a bright smile: [Hello, sister-in-law! 】

Xu Zhimo recognized her as a young lady from the Shen family. Her name seemed to be Yan Bao. This name was really nice. It was a precious word, which proved how favored she was in the Shen family. Looking at what she was wearing, it was obvious that she was loved and cared for.

Although he is mute, the Shen family does not dislike him at all.

Unlike her, she has been disliked since she was a child.

Feeling a little bitter in her heart, Xu Zhimo didn't let herself think too much. She would never be laughed at in this life.

Looking at the cute and beautiful Yan Bao, Xu Zhimo smiled softly: "Why is Yan Bao here? Where are your family and nanny? You can't run around alone, you know? You will be betrayed."

Xu Zhimo is not trying to scare people, there are indeed many human traffickers.

She was abandoned as a child, and the traffickers didn't want her because she looked scary.

It is said that it is not easy to take action and it is a waste of food.

Otherwise she would have been sold as a child.

Yan Bao saw the sadness flashing in Xu Zhimo's eyes. She took out a handful of fruit candies and gave them to Xu Zhimo: [Sister-in-law, don't be sad, my elder brother is very powerful and will protect you in the future! 】

【Eat candy, feel good! 】

Yan Bao took one and put it to Xu Zhimo's mouth.

Xu Zhimo was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were a little moist. Xu Zhimo opened his mouth and ate the fruit candy fed by Yan Bao: "It's very sweet and delicious. Thank you Yan Bao!"

Yan Bao grinned and pointed at Brother Shen who was not far away: [Brother, come here quickly. An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. What are you afraid of if you are so handsome? Use your face to charm your sister-in-law. 】

Brother Shen: "..."

Please, stop talking!

Following the direction of Yan Bao's finger, Xu Zhimo realized that her concern was unnecessary.

Also, for such a cute sister, whoever dares to let her run around must be Baba guarding and protecting her and not letting her leave his sight.

Yan Bao waved happily: [Brother, you are a grown man, why are you shy? Do you still want a wife? 】

Brother Shen secretly took a breath when Yan Bao scolded him and threatened him with personal attacks. He walked towards them with a calm look on his face, but his heart was in a state of confusion.

"Miss Xu, I'm sorry, my roommate has caused trouble for you." Brother Shen said apologetically.

Xu Zhimo shook her head. She quickly glanced at Brother Shen, her ears warmed slightly: "Young Master Shen is joking, Yan Bao is very cute, and he even gave me candy, it's very sweet!"

Seeing the smile on her face, Brother Shen's eyes darkened a little, and a thought flashed across his mind. He wanted to know how sweet Yanbao's candy was, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

I didn't know what to say, so I just asked: "What happened just now? Is someone sick?"

"It's okay." Xu Zhimo didn't want to say more.

The drugstore shopkeeper who recognized Brother Shen couldn't let go of the opportunity to make money. Balabala said: "This girl wants to buy medicinal materials. The medicinal materials are in short supply in our pharmacy. There is only one copy, and the price is high and we don't give credit. This girl poor......"

Xu Zhimo smiled awkwardly: "I won't buy it today. I'll come back when I have enough money."

The shopkeeper deliberately stimulated: "Just one portion. If someone needs it, the pharmacy will not reserve it for girls. Whoever pays will sell it."

Xu Zhimo frowned, she really needed this medicinal material.

If it was sold, it would be difficult for her to find it again and the price would be expensive.

Yan Bao knew that her sister-in-law was short of money. She tugged on Brother Shen's sleeve and said with her eyes: "Brother, it's your turn to take action. Spend money for your sister-in-law. A man who doesn't spend money for his wife is not a good man." 】

Brother Shen: "..."

Under Yan Bao's instigation, Brother Shen took out his money bag and asked the shopkeeper, "How much is it?"

"Five thousand taels!" The shopkeeper offered a fixed price.

Brother Shen almost took a breath, so expensive!

Yan Bao took a breath: [What kind of medicinal materials are five thousand taels? Grab money! 】

Xu Zhimo refused: "No, I'll buy it next time."

"Miss Xu, are those medicinal materials important to you? Are they necessary?" Brother Shen asked.

Xu Zhimo grabbed the handkerchief, and under his calm gaze, she didn't lie and nodded: "I need it."

Brother Shen nodded, stuffed the money bag to the shopkeeper, and pushed Yan Bao towards Xu Zhimo: "Take care of Yan Bao for me. I'll go back and get the money. Wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Yan Bao grinned: [Oh, that's good. My eldest brother is quite generous. He gave me five thousand taels as soon as he asked. Is this going to tamper with my wife's fortune? ]"

Brother Shen's ears turned red. He didn't have a wife, so he had to ask his parents for help.

Xu Zhimo looked at the person leaving and grabbed his sleeve in desperation: "Don't go, I don't want it anymore."

Brother Shen turned around, looked at her intimate gesture of pulling up her sleeves, and looked at her flustered look. Brother Shen smiled and said, "No burden, just treat it like you borrowed it from me. Just write an IOU later. You need this money." I don’t need the money for the time being, just think of it as a thank you for treating my feet.”

"Miss Xu, please don't go outside. My roommate likes you very much. Even for the sake of my roommate's face, let me pay for it!" Brother Shen felt that he was humble enough. It is not easy to spend money these days.

Xu Zhimo bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then let go: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"Wait for me!" Brother Shen glanced at Yan Bao and strode away.

The shopkeeper weighed the money bag and found that it contained about thirty-four taels of silver, but he couldn't escape here.

Five thousand is a lot.

Only these big grievances can take it out.

However, the medicinal materials are indeed precious, otherwise it would be more than five thousand taels, and ordinary people would not be able to use them.

"It turns out that the girl knows Master Shen. If I had known earlier, I would have given the girl credit!" the shopkeeper said as an afterthought.

Xu Zhimo didn't say anything. She held Yan Bao's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Your elder brother will be here later. Follow your sister now. She will buy you delicious food. What do you want to eat?"

Yan Bao shook his head: [Don't buy it, I want to eat what my sister-in-law made. 】

Xu Zhimo didn't understand what Yan Bao meant: "Where's the sugar?"

Yan Bao continued to shake his head: [I just want to eat what my sister-in-law has cooked. 】

Xu Zhimo narrowed his eyes, looked at the well-behaved Yan Bao, and said gently: "Yan Bao, can you let me see your throat?"

She can't come up with five thousand taels now, and she can't afford to pay it back.

Xu Zhimo felt embarrassed because she owed the Shen family a favor.

She was thinking about showing Yan Bao her throat, and if it could be cured, it would be a return of favor.

Yan Bao could tell what Xu Zhimo was thinking. She opened her mouth in cooperation, revealing her little tongue, and she could still see her tonsils.

Xu Zhimo put her hand on Yan Bao's throat, gesturing for Yan Bao to speak: "Ah~"

Yan Bao: "..."

Xu Zhimo: "Oh~"

Yan Bao: "..."

Xu Zhimo refused to give up: "Ahem..."

Yan Bao: "......"

[It’s useless. My throat is not pathological and I can’t speak. It’s natural. It can’t be cured. Unless I’m the Thirteenth Prince, I can speak as long as I’m with the Thirteenth Prince. 】

Brother Shen, who hurried over with five thousand taels of silver notes, heard Yan Bao's shocking secret before he even stepped through the door of the drugstore.

Can Yan Bao speak?

Do you have to be with the Thirteenth Prince?

why?

Isn't it okay with him as the eldest brother?
