Chen Yi. Chen Qingzhou.
To the physicians, apprentices, and accountant at Jishi Medicine Hall, that name thundered in their ears.
Setting aside the fact that he had succeeded Wang Ji as the new Shopkeeper of Jishi Medicine Hall, his identity alone as the man who had married into the Xiao Family—as the husband of Second Miss Xiao Jinghong—was enough to make them wary of underestimating him.
What's more, Chen Yi's name had been circulating throughout Shu State City recently.
The opinions were mixed, but one thing was certain: he had a reputation for not playing by the rules.
And so, the physicians, apprentices, and accountant, who had been herded into a corner by Ge the Third, now forced smiles onto their faces.
They bowed respectfully, addressing him as "Shopkeeper."
Chen Yi remained calm, taking out the written confession—signed and fingerprinted by the owner of the neighboring herbal medicine shop—and slapping it onto the table beside him.
