The Young Matriarch

There were plenty of apprentices in Liuji Medicine Hall, but who would dare to do so?

“If you don’t wish for him to die, do it now!”

All the apprentices present there were screaming internally. Those who wished to court death could go ahead and throw water on Master Liu!

As a result, everyone stood rooted. No one dared move even a muscle.

Bai Chuwei could not help by sigh and was just about to do it herself. All of a sudden, a silhouette flashed past her, and decisively raised the water basin from the ground, ruthlessly splashing it on the sound asleep, Liu Zhen!

In an instant, Liu Zhen, who had been leaning against the wooden reclining chair, was completely drenched. Beads of water dripped from his hair and shock permeated through his body.

Bai Chuwei looked at Duan Feihan, who had just thrown the empty basin to one side with an air of dignity.

What the f*ck!

Were they crazy? They dared to throw water on Master Liu?

It was spring and the temperature was lower than average. Liu Zhen, who was drenched from head to toe, shivered like a rat and fell down from his reclining chair. He had a look of blank panic on his face.

But, he was finally wide awake.

After a few moments, he got up from the ground, wiped away the beads of water on his face and asked in a complicated tone. “Who threw water on me?”

Everyone standing there was about to go crazy from fright!

Master Liu was a hundred and twenty years old man. What if he were to fall sick due to this incident?

Deng Man was frightened to the extent that she immediately exposed the culprit. “Grandpa Liu, this has nothing to do with any of us. It’s… it’s Bai Chuwei! She was the one who did it.”

Bai Chuwei?

The name grabbed Liu Zhen’s attention and his eyes revealed traces of self-mocking. He looked at Bai Chuwei and his expressions changed once again!

Liu Zhen seemed to have gone crazy as he continuously muttered. “Great! It was a great move!”

His nose soured and in an instant, his knees went soft. He knelt before her and said out loud in a repenting tone, “Dear ancestor, I know my mistake now. I was the one who was nearsighted and offended the ancestor! I’m the crazy one!”

Liu Zhen was honestly frightened. Ever since he returned from Duan Family’s residence yesterday, he kept dreaming of his teacher who had passed away numerous years ago. In the dreams, he had been pressed on the ground and was chided by his teacher constantly.

Throughout the night, his teacher kept lecturing him for disrespecting Bai Chuwei and for even daring to belittle her.

He had forced himself to stay awake in the morning but unexpectedly, he fell asleep due to exhaustion in the afternoon and his teacher visited him once again in his dreams.

His teacher was very disappointed with him and said that he was stubborn and inflexible. In addition, he wanted to take him along so as to not offend Bai?Chuwei!1

Beads of cold sweat trickled down his neck as Liu Zhen looked at Bai Chuwei in fear and awe.

If… it weren’t for that basin of water, he might have really died.

Liu Zhen’s mind was filled with Bai Chuwei’s previous words. ‘Don’t worry. I’ll let him look for you tonight.’

His teacher really came that night looking for him!

Liu Zhen suddenly had a feeling that he barely escaped death, and hence his gaze towards Bai Chuwei turned respectful.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Did Liu Zhen go crazy? Water had been thrown on him and instead of scolding the perpetrator, he was kneeling on the ground and calling her ancestor?

Bai Chuwei flipped her hair and asked him lazily. “You’re awake, finally? If yes, then hurry and tell me if you are willing to sell the medicinal ingredient or not.”

Liu Zhen did not care about his drenched clothes and looked at Deng Man’s father. “What’s the problem?”

Deng Man hastily said, “Grandpa Liu, this Bai Chuwei insists on buying Four Seasons Spring and is demanding an exorbitant amount of ten kilograms of the same!”

Her father looked at Liu Zhen who was kneeling in front of Bai Chuwei and loud drums started beating in his heart. “Teacher, are we to sell the medicinal ingredient?”

Liu Zhen stood up and angrily yelled at Deng Man’s father, with his spittle splashing all over the man’s face. “Sell? What the hell! Who dares to sell it?”

Before Deng Man could gloat after listening to these words, Liu Zhen waved his hand and said to Bai Chuwei with a flattering smile, “How can I possibly dare to sell things that ancestor wants? How much do you need? I’ll give you as much as you require.”
