Chapter 226 - 226 Collision

226 Collision

The old man, who had just left, returned and saw a group of people surrounding in the middle. Mo Qing and Gu Man stood facing each other. Although they did not speak, there was tension between the two of them. The old man knew at a glance that there was probably a conflict.

“Grandpa, it’s all her fault. She insisted that I grabbed the wrong medicine, but you know my ability. How could I have grabbed the wrong medicine?”

Mo Qing pouted unhappily and tugged at the old man’s clothes.

The old man frowned and sized Gu Man up. He could not believe it, but his granddaughter’s words could not be fake. Could it be that he had really misjudged her? Actually, this young lady in front of him was very scheming?

!!

At the thought of this, the old man frowned tightly and anger rose in his heart.

“Miss, the reputation of the Chinese medicine shop cannot be slandered.”

Old Master Mo’s expression was not good, and Gu Man did not want to argue over such a matter. She took the opportunity to open the half-opened medicine bag.

She gently pushed aside the herbs and took out a thick piece of something. Old Master Mo stared at it for a moment, and his expression changed drastically.

When Gu Man saw his expression, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She picked out all the Anemarrhena among the herbs and placed them aside.

Mo Qing looked at the herbs she picked out and her heart rose to her throat.

It must be blind luck. How could Gu Man recognize the herbs?

Old Master Mo was different from her. When he saw the Anemarrhena Gu Man picked out, he already knew that it was definitely Mo Qing who was behind it. His face instantly turned pale. He recalled how self-righteous he was just now. How was that different from taking advantage of his seniority?

Although the people beside her often came to get herbs, they did not know much about herbs. Seeing her pick out the thick herbs, someone asked in confusion, “I think these herbs look pretty good and there are no signs of decay. Why did you pick them out?”

“The attribute of Anemarrhena is cold, but Rehmannia glutinosa is warm.” Gu Man’s fingertips moved slightly and tapped on the dark piece of medicinal herb among the herbs.

“What do you think will happen if Rehmannia glutinosa collides with Anemarrhena?”

At this point, the onlookers basically understood. If it was mild, she would get a stomach ache, if it was severe she would get diarrhea and be dehydrated. Her motive was clear.

Immediately, everyone who had been defending Mo Qing looked at her with complicated expressions.

“It’s not like that!”

Mo Qing defended herself weakly, but she could not say anything. She looked at Gu Man indignantly.

Why does she know about medicinal herbs? Was she deliberately trying to see her make a fool of herself?

“Gu Man! You vicious woman! You clearly know about herbs, but you didn’t stop me. You just want to deliberately watch me make a fool of myself!”

“Sister, what did Miss Mo do to make you ruin her reputation like this?”

Gu Rou followed Mo Qing’s words and tried to divert the blame.

Hearing the two of them echoing each other, Gu Man felt that it was ridiculous. The one who wanted to grab the herbs was Mo Qing, and the one who refused to admit that there was a problem with the herbs was also Mo Qing. How is it her fault?

“Mo Qing, why are you still quibbling?”

As for what the truth was, Old Master Mo gradually understood. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. It was not only because of the herbs, but also Mo Qing’s unrepentant attitude.

“When I asked you to learn medicine from me, I’ve already reminded you repeatedly that the most taboo thing in Chinese medicine is to grab the wrong medicine and dosage. You think it’s a small matter, but it can kill someone! Furthermore, a mistake is a mistake. Right is right. You still push all the blame to outsiders?”

The more Elder Mo spoke, the angrier he became. The anger in his heart kept rising. To think that he still believed that Mo Qing would not play tricks. He did not expect her to do such a thing.

“Little friend, it’s my granddaughter’s fault. I apologize to you here. You don’t have to pay for the herbs anymore. I’ll get her to apologize to you.”

Now, he had to apologize first to stabilize the emotions of the other customers. Otherwise, the reputation of his Chinese medicine shop would be completely ruined.

When Old Master Mo looked at Gu Man, his expression changed. It was an expression of cherishing talent.

He did not expect that not only did she have good handwriting, but she also knew herbs. She was even calm in the face of danger. Unfortunately, if not for Mo Qing, he would have taken Gu Man in as his disciple.

Gu Man nodded and picked out the Anemarrhena from the herbs. She packed the herbs again so that she could look at Mo Qing’s flushed face.
