Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 41 Revenge
Merchants have a low social status, but in recent years, martial arts have become popular in Dayu, and the Liang family's medicinal herb business is booming. They have now become one of the wealthiest families in Anyang County.

Liang Family Pharmacy is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Anyang County. It is a three-story shop with a huge area.

When Shen Wenxing and Huang Lingxiu arrived at the pharmacy, Su Changzheng was leaning against the counter, chatting and laughing with a slightly plump woman wearing a pink dress.

This woman was Liang Sisi, the youngest daughter of Liang Kaiyuan, the head of the Liang family.

Since Su Jingshan intended to arrange a marriage with the Liang family, Su Chang and his son moved back to Anyang County from Yunshui Town.

The two are now engaged and will soon hold a grand wedding banquet.

"Shopkeeper, bring out some of your best wound medicine."

Huang Lingxiu entered the pharmacy and immediately called out.

The medicine prepared for Shen Wenxing's injuries was naturally the best.

The familiar voice rang out, and Su Chang was slightly taken aback. He turned his head to look at the two of them, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

"Does Young Master Su know them?"

Liang Sisi noticed his expression and asked in a low voice.

"He's someone I knew..."

A strange smile flashed across Su Chang's face. He whispered a few words in Liang Sisi's ear. Liang Sisi was taken aback at first, but then her expression changed drastically!

"This...no! No!"

"If people find out, not only will the reputation that my Liang family pharmacy has built up be ruined in an instant, but it will also lead to lawsuits. Young Master Su, please don't make things difficult for me."

Su Chang's face darkened, then he chuckled softly, "Sisi, you are an expert in pharmacology, I believe you can definitely do it so that others cannot detect it."

Seeing that Liang Sisi was still hesitating, he continued, "That kid humiliated me in public back then, don't you want to help me get revenge?"

"We are about to get married. Husband and wife are inherently enemies. Helping me is also helping yourself."

"Besides, I didn't intend to kill him, I just wanted to make him suffer a little."

Seeing his pleading expression, Liang Sisi fell silent.

"Miss, a customer needs ten doses of wound medicine, and the best quality ones at that."

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy walked over respectfully, and Huang Lingxiu and the other woman also noticed Su Chang.

"Is that Senior Brother Su?" Shen Wenxing frowned.

Su Chang had been away from the martial arts school for three or four years, and seeing him again was somewhat unexpected.

Huang Lingxiu glanced at Su Chang with some disgust, snorted coldly, and turned her head away.

Liang Sisi witnessed this scene and felt a strange sense of displeasure rising in her heart.

"Sisi..."

Just then, Su Chang spoke up again, and Liang Sisi made a decision in an instant.

As Su Chang said, she had been running a medicinal herb business with her father since she was a child, spending her days in the pharmacy preparing medicines with the masters, and she was very knowledgeable about pharmacology.

The Liang family's wound medicine is made from a variety of medicinal herbs. With just a slight adjustment to the proportions of the herbs, it's quite simple to get revenge for Su Chang.

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it right away."

Having made up her mind, Liang Sisi immediately went to the backyard.

"Let's wait outside. I don't want to see him."

Huang Lingxiu glanced at Su Chang, then immediately pulled Shen Wenxing out of the pharmacy.

Watching the two being so intimate, Su Chang's gloom deepened, and he couldn't help but smile.

He had heard about the conscription long ago, and guessed that Shen Wenxing was probably going to "join the army in place of his father," which is why he came to Liang's pharmacy to buy medicine for his injuries.

Kid, the medicine has been tampered with. Don't die on the battlefield...

Su Chang thought to himself.

A moment later, Liang Sisi came to the counter with ten bottles of prepared wound medicine, looking rather strange.

Doctors are compassionate, and although Liang Sisi wasn't exactly a doctor, she often worked at pharmacies and ultimately couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.

"Young Master Su, I..."

Su Chang thought she was going to regret it, so he immediately snatched the medicine and handed it to the shopkeeper next to him: "Go and deliver it to the customers, but don't give it a discount."

The shopkeeper was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions and handed the medicine directly to Huang Lingxiu.

The two paid and left Liang's pharmacy. "What bad luck!"

"What bad luck!"

"How did we end up with this guy!"

On the way, Huang Lingxiu pouted, as if seeing Su Chang was an eyesore to her.

Shen Wenxing smiled and comforted him, "We won't have any contact in the future, so let's just treat each other as strangers."

It was already evening when the two returned to the county magistrate's office.

Upon meeting the Huang brothers, Huang Lingxiu couldn't help but bring up the matter of seeing Su Chang at Liang's Pharmacy.

Huang Yunxiao smiled faintly: "I forgot to tell you about this."

“Liang Kaiyuan, the head of the Liang family, has been trying to curry favor with the Su family for years. Su Jingshan knows that there is no chance of a marriage alliance with us, so he has already planned to form a marriage alliance with the Liang family.”

"I heard that Su Chang and the youngest daughter of the Liang family have been engaged and will be married soon."

Huang Lingxiu frowned upon hearing this.

"The Liang family is willing to push their daughter into a fire pit and marry that guy Su Chang?"

Huang Yunxiao sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it."

"For the development of the family, some people always have to make sacrifices."

"As a merchant family, it is extremely important for the Liang family to be able to associate with the Su family. Even if Su Chang were just a playboy or an idiot, they would still be willing to do so."

"Alright, the dinner is ready, let's go."

That night, after the banquet, Shen Wenxing and Huang Lingxiu sat in the pavilion in the side courtyard.

The moonlight was like water. Huang Lingxiu glanced at the boy beside her and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

Shen Wenxing froze, placing his hands on his knees, at a loss for what to do.

"Pfft!"

Seeing his nervous expression, Huang Lingxiu couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm so nervous, I'm afraid you'll punch me back."

"No...no way!" Shen Wenxing quickly explained.

Huang Lingxiu leaned back briefly before turning her head away, looking up at the bright moon in the sky without saying a word.

The two sat quietly like that for a long time before Huang Lingxiu stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest. We have to travel tomorrow."

Shen Wenxing also stood up, quietly looking at the person in front of him, unsure of how to express himself.

Meeting his gaze, Huang Lingxiu took a step forward and hugged him.

"Be careful in the army. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

With the soft fragrance in his arms, after a moment of inner struggle, Shen Wenxing finally raised his hand and embraced the girl's waist.

……

The next morning.

Shen Wenxing and Zhao Jinhu got up early and followed the soldiers arranged by Huang Yunxiao toward Yunzhong County.

"I've lived this long, and this is the first time I've left Anyang County. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come back," Zhao Jinhu said, turning his head to look at the receding Anyang County town from his horse.

"Kid, what discouraging things are you talking about?"

The accompanying soldiers laughed and cursed, "You're talking about defeat before the battle even starts! If this happened in the army, you'd be charged with disrupting morale!"

Zhao Jinhu shrank back and looked at Shen Wenxing, saying, "Shitou, you don't seem worried?"

Shen Wenxing smiled faintly, "I'm worried, but I know my father, mother, younger brother and sister, and Senior Sister Lingxiu are all waiting for me, so I will definitely come back alive this time."

"Brother Shen's words really resonate with me!"

The accompanying soldiers laughed and said, "We are all afraid of dying, but we are also afraid of being useless. We have to find a way to survive!"

"Kid, you should learn something."

Several fast horses rode eastward toward the rising sun and soon disappeared onto the official road.
