Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife Chapter 18 Stay Away From I

Xi Ma specifically used a spellbinding contract paper, wherein, in the event the other party violated the agreement, unfortunate events will fall upon the violating party.

Shopkeeper Yu is also nervous. Since Xi Ma personally handled the situation, he will not be able to manipulate things further. It is a good thing that his apprentice already hid the mixed walnuts.

"Take out all the walnuts that we have on the Medical Pavilion." Xi Ma instructed.

Xi Ma's command was carried out. Sack after sack of walnuts was pulled out and was displayed on the large courtyard for everyone to see.

The courtyard is located at the back of the Medical Pavilion. This area is normally only for the staff and physicians staying in the Pavilion.

Looking at the scattered sacks of walnuts, the mute old beggar gulped.

His forehead and back started to sweat heavily. He is also having a hard time breathing with worry.

How long will he be allowed to choose? He unconsciously looked at Gao Lan Mei to ask for help.

He can smell that there's poison in the walnuts but checking each one will take forever. So knowing which one on the spot is going to be hard!

Shopkeeper Yu notice the nervous old mute beggar, and he smirked "What are you standing there for? Do not waste our time! Can you or can you not find it?!"

This beggar will soon be punished and die on the Justice Affairs. This is what they get for trying to offend our Medical Pavilion!

"Scatter all the walnuts." Gao Lan Mei instructed. "Trust me. You can find it." She added.

With the young woman's a.s.surance, the old mute beggar felt much better.

'Trust me.' It's been a very long time since he last heard those words.

Though he just met this young woman, he does not know why he believed her. Is it because she is the first one in a long time who also did the same?

This young woman gave him the chance to prove himself, he will give his all to not disappoint.

Being a beggar for so long, it's a good feeling to be believed and trusted in.

He missed the feeling. Just like the time when he was an excellent doctor when mortals believed and trusted him with their lives.

Placing the past at the back of his head and finalizing his resolve, he scattered all the sacks of walnuts.

There are more than ten sacks. With his old bones, it took a while, but he did not ask for anyone's help.

"Stay away from it." Gao Lan Mei told him again.

Eh, why should I stay away?

The old mute beggar was confused but still followed. He moved two steps back from the scattered walnuts.

What's there for him to lose?

"Move farther." Huh? This is not far enough? How can I smell it if I am this far?

The old mute beggar gazed at Gao Lan Mei questioningly, but she just nodded at him.

He breathed deeply with tiredness but in the end, he still followed Gao Lan Mei's instructions.
