Chapter 10: The Haunted Apothecary

Without waiting for Prime Minister An to come back, the eldest lady directly took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from the treasury and handed it to An Miao.

"You don't need to buy a big house to live alone, don't say that the eldest lady treats you harshly, this money is enough for you to live alone for a while."

The corners of An Miao's mouth twitched and looked at the lonely silver ticket, now she has figured out the price of goods in ancient times, and these fifty taels are enough to buy a thatched house!

However, her real purpose is not this house, An Miao just wants to get rid of An Mansion.

After taking the money, she took her luggage and "got out" cleanly!

An Miao didn't use the money to buy a house, but bought a desolate and dilapidated second-story façade in the downtown area.

Haunting is not a problem, it is cheap!

Without the restraints of the An family, now is the time for her to show her strength!

This shop is just her first step, and in the future, she will open her own store all over the country and the world!

After buying the shop, there were still ten taels of silver left, and this money was definitely not enough to decorate and buy medicinal materials, so An Miao hit Murong Che with his mind again.

The next day, An Miao hurriedly entered the palace and went straight to Murong Che's bedroom.

After finding Murong Che, she slapped the written IOU on the table.

"Lend me two hundred taels!"

Murong Che was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at An Miao like a fool.

"This is your attitude of begging for loneliness?"

"Ahem, that, please......"

An Miao looked at Murong Che awkwardly, making her ask for someone was really a little awkward.

Murong Che immediately twisted the IOU, and laughed out loud as he looked at the twisted words on it.

An Miao's face turned red, and she couldn't wait to get the IOU back.

Immediately, Murong Che straightened up and read the above content carefully.

"Two hundred taels of silver still have to be paid back in three years?"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at An Miao, feeling that she clearly didn't want to pay back.

An Miao scratched her head and glanced at Murong Che with a ashamed expression.

"I'm not out of money."

She muttered quietly, thinking that she couldn't be blamed for the poor jingle of the original owner.

Murong Che sighed helplessly, and then tore off the IOU in his hand.

A hint of surprise flashed in An Miao's eyes, and she looked at him puzzled,

"You dare to tear me up, you really dare to repay the debt!"

"Miss An, the emperor didn't want you to pay it back!"

Song Lian joked on the side, and winked ambiguously at An Miao.

An Miao's face turned even redder when she heard this, thinking that she was not uncommon for Murong Che to show her goodwill.

Immediately, Murong Che ordered someone to take out two hundred taels of silver from the treasury, and handed them to An Miao with the key to the warehouse of the Tai Hospital.

An Miao touched the heavy money box, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

"Anyway, I'll pay you back if I earn enough money, and everything will be done as I said before."

After she said this, she hurriedly ran out.

Murong Che looked at her back faintly, and the smile in his eyes gradually faded.

Song Lian on the side saw the change in his eyes, and couldn't help but open his mouth tentatively,

"Your Majesty, I don't think Miss An is scheming, maybe the remnants of the previous dynasty...... It was someone who deliberately planted it. ”

"Wait and see."

Murong Che's face was cold, and he didn't want to mention this matter more.

On the other side, An Miao had already left the palace, and she planned to decorate the pharmacy first and then deal with the medicinal materials of the Tai Hospital.

I have the money in my hand, and I have more confidence in my heart.

Then she walked into a delicately decorated woodworking workshop and planned to buy a finished medicine cabinet first.

The carpentry workshop was on the same street as the shop An Miao bought, and it was the shopkeeper who recognized her as the girl who bought the haunted house yesterday.

"Xiao Er, do you have a finished medicine cabinet here?"

"Yes, yes, but I suggest you buy a smaller cabinet, after all, your business will not last long."

As soon as An Miao heard this, how could An Miao be happy, and her eyebrows immediately raised,

"You can't speak, I won't buy it at your house if you do it again!"

With that, she shook her hand and left, turning and stepping out of the threshold of the carpentry workshop.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly stopped An Miao and pulled her back to the store.

"Girl, don't be angry, I am also kind to persuade you, the shop you bought has changed hands three times in a year, and none of them can last more than three months!"

"Don't say anything haunted, I don't believe it!"

An Miao was born rebellious, and she had to try to see if she could last for three months.

Seeing that An Miao didn't believe in evil, the shopkeeper secretly pursed his lips, thinking that when she was deflated, he would know that he was kind!

"Then I'll show you the cabinet."

Saying that, Xiao Er took An Miao into the warehouse behind the shop, which was full of large and small wooden cabinets.

An Miao fell in love with the ebony cabinet that was almost two people high at a glance, and pointed to it to ask Xiao Er to move it out for herself.

"That's it!"

"The girl really has good eyesight, so I'll call the shopkeeper."

As soon as An Miao settled the account, the carpentry workshop sent someone to send the cabinet over.

But he didn't want to wait for the shopkeeper to say the price, but An Miao made a difficulty.

"A broken cabinet costs fifty taels?"

Her brows furrowed, and she touched the broken silver in her purse painfully.

Is this cabinet made of gold, it's almost a suite of hers!

"Where is this broken cabinet, I made this from hundred-year-old black jujube wood."

The shopkeeper is a strong salesman for An Miao, and his eloquence is no less than that of a modern gold medal salesman.

An Miao really liked this cabinet, and finally gritted her teeth and bought it.

Two hundred taels were gone in the blink of an eye, and she was reluctant to spend money after that.

Then An Miao bought some simple furniture, doors and windows, and tossed for a day to give this dilapidated shop a little new atmosphere.

However, when it was dark and ready to go to bed, she remembered that she had forgotten to buy a bed!

An Miao had no choice but to spend the night on the table downstairs, but she didn't expect that in the middle of the night, she heard a creaking sound from the ebony medicine cabinet she bought.

It's like the sound of rats foraging for food, but it's even more terrifying to hear.

"Could it be a real haunting?"

An Miao's back was cold, and she carefully got up and lit the candle.

She found a wooden stick with the thickness of her arm and walked slowly towards the medicine cabinet.

"Mother, let's see who is pretending to be a ghost today!"

As she spoke, she slammed open the one-foot-square mezzanine under the medicine cabinet.

An Miao swung the wooden stick and was about to smash it towards the mezzanine, only to hear an exclamation from inside, and a black shadow rushed out.

She had already locked the door of the pharmacy, and the black shadow rushed to the door and saw that she couldn't escape, so she quickly hid in the corner.

An Miao was sure that something was indeed pretending to be a ghost, and her mood relaxed.

"I see you, come out!"

She shouted dryly into the corner, her palms holding the stick soaked in cold sweat.

The black shadow in the corner heard her voice and burrowed under the table like a headless fly, and An Miao ran over to block the exit when she saw this.

"You come out, I promise not to hit you!"

She shouted at the bottom of the table, her brow furrowed to show her impatience.

After a long time, a half-old black-faced child cowered and crawled out from under the table.
