“All!”

Master Zhen was splashed by the cup of hot tea. He let out a miserable scream that almost overturned the roof.

Tea rolled down his face, and the tea leaves stuck wetly to his flushed face.

Zhen Ruzhu held an empty teacup in one hand. Her eyes were like torches, and her back was straight.

“Wow!” An Le exclaimed when she saw this scene. Her small mouth was wide open.

“Zhen Ruzhu, are you crazy?!” Master Zhen roared at Zhen Ruzhu hysterically, his facial features twisted.

“You’re the one who’s crazy!” Zhen Ruzhu was furious.

She carefully picked up the cup of talisman tea and brought it to Boss Zhen as if it was a fragile rare treasure.

The shopkeeper pinched and pressed on the unconscious Boss Zhen’s acupuncture points. Boss Zhen finally woke up slowly, with blood on the corner of his lips.

“Dad, you’re poisoned.” Zhen Ruzhu hurriedly said, “Drink this cup of talisman water, and you’ll recover!” She carefully blew on the teacup and touched the cup to test the temperature.

After waking up, Boss Zhen looked even weaker. His lips moved for a long time before he forced out a word. “Okay.”

His voice was huskier and weaker.

He took the cup of tea from his daughter and gritted his teeth. He gulped down all the tea in the cup, including the talisman ash and tea leaves.

Zhen Ruzhu’s heart was in her throat as she stared at Boss Zhen without blinking. She was afraid that he would vomit and have diarrhea after taking the medicine like before.

As soon as the talisman tea entered his stomach, Boss Zhen felt a warm sensation in his stomach, but right on the heels of that, he felt a sharp pain.

His expression changed, and he covered his abdomen with his hand. His face revealed a pained expression as a salty smell welled up in his throat.

“Blargh—”

He leaned over and vomited again. This time, it was a large pool of black blood that covered the red blood on the ground.

“Someone’s treating someone to death! Someone, someone’s treating someone to death!” Seeing this scene, Master Zhen shouted gloatingly. One moment, he was pointing at Gu Yanfei, and the next, he was pointing at Boss Zhen. His eyes were filled with hatred. “Report to the officials, hurry up and report to the officials!”

As he shouted, he was still wiping the wet tea leaves on his forehead with his sleeve. His face was burned into a red pig’s head.

Miss Zhen gently stroked Boss Zhen’s back and asked nervously, “Dad, how do you feel?”

Boss Zhen spat on the ground, his hand still covering his abdomen. To his shock, he realized that his abdomen no longer hurt.

He held his breath and felt it.

He felt really different!

“Report to the officials?” Gu Yanfei rolled her eyes and clapped her hands with a smile. “That’s a good idea.”

Gu Yanfei turned to look at Chu Yi, who was silent beside him. Her eyes were sparkling, and her eyes seemed to be asking him silently: This way, we can let the new magistrate of the capital establish his authority, right?

Chu Yi’s slender fingers twirled the flower in his hand, and he smiled gently. An uncontrollable smile rippled on his face, and he used his smile as an affirmation of her.

“Yes, I want to report it to the officials.” Boss Zhen suddenly raised his head and said resolutely, his voice filled with confidence.

Huh?! Master Zhen subconsciously looked at Boss Zhen. When he focused his gaze, he saw that Boss Zhen, who was so weak and casual just now, had become much more energetic. His pale face had also become rosy, and his eyes were bright. He was like a different person than before.

“You…” Master Zhen’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. He staggered back two steps and accidentally twisted his left foot into his right foot before falling to the ground.

“Dad, we’ll report it to the officials now!!” Zhen Ruzhu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

A determined and ruthless light bloomed in her eyes. She looked at Master Zhen with a gaze that wished she could kill him with her own hands.

In order to scheme against their family’s business, they actually used such a vicious method to harm her father. It was really intolerable!

Even if it meant disowning her own family and risking the closure of this silver business, she would still go to the authorities and fight for justice for her father!

Old Master Zhen stood up with his daughter’s help. His eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

At this moment, new and old hatred surged in his heart.

Back then, when his father died, he and his mother were chased out.

The 2,000 taels of silver that they had split up were left behind by his father for the mother and son. It was what he deserved, and he had relied on his own hands to buy this family business.

Be it his elder brother or the other clansmen, none of them had helped him..
