Chapter 13
“That bullshit alchemist?”
Jiang Chen had got that alchemist’s panaceas before. If he were in the Sacred Zone, his hands would have been broken for having delivered panaceas with such bad quality. Jiang Chen didn’t wait and went directly to the door out of his contempt for the alchemist, and happened to hear the conversation inside.
“Lady, I have another proposal. If you agree, I would like to refine panaceas for free.” The alchemist sounded very young.
“What’s that?” Gao Yue’s voice sounded almost joyful.
Father wasn’t here. His mother was still too naïve to run the affairs of the east courtyard. He could guess that the alchemist’s proposal must be excessive.
Although he already had prepared himself, he still got very angry after hearing it.
“The Windblade is gone. I could imagine how lonely you are, Lady. I would like to do you this favor…” The alchemist was speaking in a very indecent way. Instead of finishing his words, he started a dirty laugh. Windblade was his father’s alias.
“Master!” Xiao Hai cried, “I could only be bossy if the Jiang Mansion really feared the alchemist. Before the Jiang’s child beat me, I told him I was the alchemist. But he sent someone to slap me in the face. I said that if they beat me it would bring trouble to the Jiang Mansion. But he sent someone to break my arms. How was it possible for me to be bossy?”
“The Jiang Mansion is too arrogant,” Cao Chenghua snorted. He didn’t care about what had happened to Xiao Hai, but was angry to hear that others had ignored alchemists and turned their noses up at him to such an extent.
“It will be the spring festival soon. We will go to the Jiang Mansion to wish them Happy New Year then,” Cao Chenghua said.
“Thank you, Master.”
Cao Chenghua knew what that meant and got excited. How he wished the spring festival was coming up. Cao Chenghua said, “Your arms are not disabled. They can be recovered if we plaster balms on them. But you won’t be able to work for the next three months.”
“Master, I would like the Jiang Mansion to pay for these three months’ loss.”
“Certainly.”
…
The other ones who were angry with Jiang Chen were the Su’s from the Whitewater City. As soon as Su Qian finished her seclusion, she asked about her engagement with Jiang Chen, anxious to know whether he had signed the disengagement agreement. The answer made her burst into anger.
Certificate of divorce? To divorce me? With the excuse that I am foolish and immoral and I disrespect the elders? Pah! Jiang Chen, how great you are! How dare you act so arrogant with your current situation? The Windblade is imprisoned under the Black Dragon Pool. No one in the Jiang Mansion could protect you anymore! Wait, Jiang Chen. I’ll teach you a good lesson during the spring festival!
It was impossible for Su Qian to visit the Jiang Mansion during the spring festival, but she could ask her friend to get her revenge for her.
When I’ve got a renowned master, I’ll make you regret it, Jiang Mansion!
Su Qian tore the certificate of divorce written by Jiang Chen to pieces.
