My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 2222

Chapter 2222 – 2222 Begging Bitterly

Seven days later.

The beginning of the first month, in the depth of winter.

The entire Anyi Prefecture was enveloped in a cold white mist.

On the bustling main street, a seemingly unremarkable carriage drove along the prosperous and lively street toward the official mansion.

!!

Just as the carriage reached the end of the main street, a pale hand lifted up the carriage curtain. She gazed past the moving crowd at the entrance to a pharmacy.

A group of people had congregated there and were gossiping while pointing fingers at a kneeling girl.

“What’s going on?”

“This girl had come before dawn and wishes to buy from the Liangyuan Pharmacy on credit.”

“But the pharmacy isn’t a charity.”

“Shopkeeper! Please bestow a blood-clotting cinnabar fruit. I can work for the pharmacy for the rest of my life to repay this debt!” The girl shuffled forward on her knees while shouting at the people inside pharmacy.

There were scars on her arms, and her face was extremely pale. It seemed like she had been beaten, and her body looked to be covered in injuries.

An elderly shopkeeper in his fifties came out from the pharmacy’s side door and sighed, “Miss, please return. Our pharmacy does not need help at this time.”

“Shopkeeper, please have mercy! My mom is waiting, waiting for medicine to save her life! My mom…”

“Miss, please do not make us do what we are unable to. The blood-clotting cinnabar fruit you are speaking of is a divine-rank medicine. Not only does our pharmacy not have it, this entire capital city of the Anyi Prefecture, including the pill house, may not have it.”

“Besides, the blood-clotting cinnabar fruit is priceless. If our Liangyuan Pharmacy has this divine-rank medicine, it will be our pharmacy’s most-prized treasure. How could we give it out so easily? Miss, please return.”

“Shopkeeper. Please save my mother…” The girl kowtowed heavily and sobbed, “Please, Shopkeeper, I beg of you!”

A young sir draped in a pure-white fox-fur robe walked out from the pharmacy.

The moment this person appeared, it was as if the surroundings had lit up. His graceful bearing was indescribably peerless and elegant, almost otherworldly.

“Young Sir.”

The young sir slowly raised his hand to stop the shopkeeper from speaking. He glanced at the girl and said coldly, “We do not have what you seek. There is no need to kneel here and waste your time.”

The shopkeeper didn’t have the heart to speak harshly, and he advised with a sigh, “Miss, our young sir is right. Instead of wasting your time here, you had better return quickly. Perhaps… you will be able to see your mother once more.”

The person kneeling in front of the Liangyuan Pharmacy was naturally Guan Yibo.

At this moment, she looked up tearfully at that handsome young sir, and then she looked at the shopkeeper.

Sorrow engulfed her heart, and she sat there in a daze.

Was her mom really going to leave her? From now on, she would be alone in this world, with no other family…

“Stop.” This chilly voice startled the carriage driver. His arms shook as he quickly pulled the reins to stop the horses.

After some shuffling noises, a little lady wrapped in a scarlet cape walked down fromt eh carriage. She stood from afar and gazed at Guan Yibo.

It had started snowing lightly.

The little lady just looked at the kneeling girl through the light snow.
