Chapter 386: Farewell, Miss Li

ook younger than me, you can call me Big Brother Wu.""Big Brother Wu" Qin Luoyan twitched the corner of her mouth, "Or should I call you Wu Da Lang""What does 'Wudalang' mean" Wu Ming's eyebrows furro...The first floor of the apothecary was filled with all sorts of medicinal herbs, but when one ascended to the second floor, the scene was completely different. The spacious room was filled with various potted plants, most of which bloomed with vibrant flowers that Qin Luoyan had never seen before.

In the Wuxuan Prince's Mansion, there were many rare and exotic plants. She had seen quite a few of them, some of which were said to have been obtained with great difficulty by Fu Zimuo. As she walked through the long corridor on the second floor, she spotted one familiar plant in a potted flower near the corner.

At this moment, she realized that these potted plants on the second floor were far from ordinary ornamental plants.

Seeing her gaze sweep over the potted plants, a hint of surprise flashed in the guide's eyes as he smiled and said, "Judging by your look, girl, you seem to know the history of these plants"

Qin Luoyan came back to her senses and shook her head. "No, I only know one or two of them."

“The young lady doesn’t seem to be from Chun City or the Barbarian Kingdom. It’s already impressive that she knows one or two things. Don’t look at this small two-story building, but all the flowers and plants inside are incredibly rare. Look, over there by the window, the grass with purple flowers is the last remaining Farewell Grass in the world.” The clerk took advantage of the opportunity to guide them while also introducing the place.

"Parting Grass" Qin Luoyan had never heard of it, so she instinctively looked at Yin Qi.

Unexpectedly, Yin Qi smiled faintly and replied: "The herb of separation only existed in ancient books. It was said to have the effect of making one forgetful. No matter how deeply someone loved, once they took this herb of separation, they would completely forget their love. And this forgetting wasn't amnesia. Those who took the medicine would remember their loved ones, but they would suddenly lose that deep feeling. A single plant could make two people who had shared their lives become strangers."

"Um... Is there such a herb in the world" Qin Luoyan exclaimed in surprise, she couldn't help but look at it curiously again.

The companion led the two of them to the innermost room in the corridor, then knocked on the door and stepped back two paces, gesturing for Qin Luoyan and the other person to enter.

Qin Luoyan politely nodded to the shopkeeper and then strode inside.

This is a very simple room, with no superfluous furnishings. There's only an old man in a short vest, shirtless and wielding a small shovel, busy tending to potted plants. Around him are scattered potted plants, some with wilting flowers and others brimming with vibrant life.

"My old man has only been gone for a few months, and look at these flowers and plants! What have they become If I had come back a few days later, this golden cicada vine and the moon-hidden peony over there would be gone. They say I'm old and can rest, but looking at you youngsters, can I possibly rest You're going to work me to death!"

The old man tending his plants heard someone coming and started complaining without even looking to see who it was. He didn't stop until he finished, then turned around and saw two strangers. Surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked the attendant, “Who are they What brought them here I thought it was that stinky girl, and I was just about to give her a piece of my mind.”

"Mr. Qiu, these two guests are looking for some special herbs. I don't know anything about them, so I had to bring them to you." The clerk chuckled merrily. Although his attitude was respectful, it was clear that he wasn't afraid of Mr. Qiu at all.

A person who can command respect from their subordinates without instilling fear is definitely not difficult to get along with. Qin Luoyan had a preliminary understanding of Qiu Zhǎngguì's temperament.

“Where’s that little Li Huan Why did you bring everyone here, but not her What use is that smelly girl” Qiu Zhanggui frowned and asked coldly.

That fellow twitched the corner of his mouth, embarrassedly rubbing the back of his head, seeming quite uncomfortable.

"Come on, spit it out! Do I have to give you a hard time before you'll tell me Did that girl do something stupid again and is afraid of me finding out" Qiu Zhanggui's face was getting increasingly grim.

That man, cornered with no other options, could only dejectedly say, “Miss Lihuan has been gone for half a month now…”

"What!" Qiu, the shopkeeper, immediately dropped his shovel and stood up. "You're saying that girl has been gone for over half a month I only returned yesterday, and I didn't even know! Doesn't that mean no one was in charge of the pharmacy for the past two weeks Well, well, you bunch of little rascals are really thick-skinned, daring to keep this from me! Just wait, I'll beat you all to death today!"

Qiu Zhanggui's face was full of anger. He didn't even glance at Qin Luoyan and Yin Qi. He searched around, grabbed a wooden stick, and chased after the clerk, beating him up.

"Mr. Qiu, please spare me! I truly didn't mean to hide this from you. It was Miss Lihuān who forbade us from speaking. As you know, Miss Lihuān is a stubborn woman, we wouldn't dare disobey her! Mr. Qiu, it hurts, it hurts! Please be gentle, don't hurt yourself too badly!" The man ran and dodged while also trying to avoid being touched by Mr. Qiu. It wasn't easy at all.

“Didn’t that girl promise to take care of this apothecary for half a year How come she left before the time was up What on earth happened That girl is a bit mischievous, but she’s not someone who breaks her word! You better tell me the truth right now. If there's even a single lie, old man I swear I'll kill you all today!” Qiu Zhanggui was panting, leaning against the table to catch his breath.

He stopped chasing, and the group of men hesitantly came to a halt by the door, looking wronged as they said: "We didn't know anything about it. We only knew that Miss Huan received a letter on that day, looked at it, packed her belongings, and left."

“A letter” Qiu Zhanggui’s eyes rolled, as if pondering something. After a while, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, “A letter could make this girl leave. It must be about that boy. I don't know what's so good about him that he has her so infatuated! When she comes back, I must tell her father and have him give her the parting grass to eat!”

After Qiu Zhàngguì and his assistant finished settling the accounts, he sat back down by the window, panting heavily. He waved to Qin Luoyān and Yīn Qí, "Please take a seat, both of you. I apologize for the spectacle."

"Where, where, which family doesn't have a few mischievous young ladies" Yin Qi smiled generously and proactively picked up the clean white cloth beside him and handed it to Qiu Guanjia.

The shopkeeper, Qiu, gave him a approving glance, took the white cloth and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "What kind of herbs are you looking for Tell me, see if old man I have them here."
