Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 857 - Change of Her Thought

Lin Mengya wouldn’t have said such harsh words before.

However, the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family, who chose to pick on her, was unlucky.

“Miss, you have guts. Come on, take on the Phoenix Feather Ganoderma Lucidum. I’d like to see what price this lady can offer,” the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family, obviously put into a position, where he had no way to back down, by Lin Mengya, said.

Now he could not ask her to leave, as he would bring shame on himself if he did that, nor could he beat the other lady who was highly skilled in martial arts and standing in front of her.

He had no choice but to gnash his teeth and take out the most precious treasure of the pharmacy.

“Fifth Master, this...” one of his attendants said, hesitating for a moment before getting out with an awkward look.

“Miss, the Phoenix Feather Ganoderma Lucidum is one of the three rare treasures of the Dongfang family. If they really take it out, we may not be able to settle this matter,” Baisu whispered in Lin Mengya’s ear, while fixing her eyes on the attendants of the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family.

The Fifth Master of the Dongfang family was indeed notorious.

He was despicable in his dealings, especially fond of playing dirty tricks.

He would let it go if they were sensible today. But now that Lin Mengya obviously intended to pick on him, how could he not hate her to the core?

Despite knowing this, Lin Mengya still chose to do so.

She wouldn’t give in even if the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family wanted to let it go.

While they were confronting each other in the inner hall, there came a series of noises from outside.

Lin Mengya, who had keen hearing, certainly heard everything they said outside.

She roughly heard the attendants of the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family trying to snatch the most precious treasure of the pharmacy.

Meanwhile, the shopkeeper and the shop assistants all tried to smooth things over with all kinds of flattering words.

After all, they could not allow the attendants to take the lifeline of their pharmacy at will.

After a long time, Lin Mengya saw that the face of the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family turned livid from pale and then back to pale.

She showed a mocking smile, thinking he overstated his status this time.

“Fifth Master, I’ve been waiting for so long. Why haven’t your men brought the medicinal material yet? Oops, could it be possible that you are not the boss, so you can’t make the decision to bring the medicinal material to show me?” Lin Mengya said.

Hearing her taunts, the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family looked even more sullen.

With flames of fury in his eyes, he wished he could break the neck of the woman in front of him.

However, he forgot that he brought all this upon himself. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

He said, “Miss, do you possibly intend to slip away? Let me be straight with you. If they bring the Phoenix Feather Ganoderma Lucidum but you can’t afford it, its efficacy will decline greatly. In that case, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

She knew about medicinal materials better than a hundred Fifth Masters of the Dongfang family.

“If I remember correctly, the Phoenix Feather Ganoderma Lucidum is collected from extremely hot places, and the fresh Phoenix Feather Ganoderma Lucidum is as hard as gold and jade when it is just collected. To keep it in good condition, it must be placed in a very dry place. Oh, yes, in order to maintain its efficacy, it is best to put it under the sun on sunny days in summer and enable it to get enough sunlight. Don’t you do that? Oops, in that case, it will go moldy!” Lin Mengya said, feigning a surprised look and staring at the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family in front of her.

Her words rendered him speechless.

How dared he slander her? She would not swallow it!

“You... turn out to be an expert in medicine. Sorry, I did not realize that. You two may go out together,” he said.

It got increasingly noisy outside. Now, besides Lin Mengya, others might have heard it clearly.

Even someone as brazen as the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family felt embarrassed.

Although his eyes full of malice towards Lin Mengya and Baisu looked a little creepy, Lin Mengya was not afraid of him.

“Who dares to stir up trouble here?” finally, there came a cold shout from outside.

The buzz in the outer hall finally ceased for the time being.

As the curtain over the door of the inner hall was lifted, Lin Mengya saw a face she was very familiar with.

“It turns out to be you,” Dongfang Xu said.

He was no longer dressed like he used to be in the caravan back then.

At the moment, he was dressed in dark purple clothes, looking more like a decisive general, who made achievements on the battlefield, than a businessman.

“Greetings, Mr. Dongfang,” Lin Mengya said.

Xiu would definitely tell Dongfang Xu that she had come to the Lieyun Empire.

Lin Mengya was not surprised to meet him, who was one of her few acquaintances in the Lieyun Empire and close to the branch of the royal family Xiaoyu was from, here.

“Come on, take Miss Helan to the fourth floor. Fifth brother, you behaved improperly,” Dongfang Xu said.

Now even the Fifth Master of the Dongfang family was shocked, as he was aware that each floor of the Dongfangs’ Pharmacy was meant for different visitors.

Apart from the first floor open to all, the second floor and the other floors above it were only open to respectable visitors.

As for the fourth floor, it was only open to powerful royals.

His pupils contracted. Could this lady be a royal?

“Thank you, Mr. Dongfang,” Lin Mengya said, nodding slightly.

The internal strife within their family was going to take place.

It was inappropriate for her, an outsider, to stay here and get involved in it.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Dongfang to come here. Although there used to be serious conflicts among the branches of the Dongfang family, Mr. Dongfang didn’t intervene easily,” Baisu whispered in her ear.

The stairs were quite wide. Dongfang Xu’s attendant led the way, politely keeping a certain distance from Lin Mengya and Baisu.

In fact, Lin Mengya had no fewer doubts than Baisu did.

“No one knows. Maybe they had a fierce conflict recently,” Lin Mengya said casually.

In fact, every big family more or less had some secrets.

Even the Lin family was not as solid as iron.

Moreover, Xiu had told her about the disputes among them. At present, the Dongfang family was presumably going through a turmoil.

But it was just as well. The Dongfang family could only regain its vigor by replacing the old force with the new force.

Lin Mengya was only worried about Xiu.

Given her character and situation, how could Lin Mengya not worry about her after learning her origin?

Lin Mengya’s eyes lit up when she reached the fourth floor.

On the spacious fourth floor, there were only a few chairs and a square table.

The windows on all sides were opened, which prevented eavesdropping completely.

“Miss, have a seat, please,” the attendant said politely.

After settling the two of them here, he turned to go out.

Not long afterward, he came back to serve fragrant tea and refreshments and then left again.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Dongfang to send his attendant to bring us here. To be honest, it’s my first time here,” Baisu said, while looking around in case someone should place something in the dark.

However, this place was so empty that even an ant might not be able to be hidden here.

Lin Mengya put her mind at ease. Anyway, they could never be too cautious.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Mengya felt a little nervous.

Dongfang Xu treated her so courteously firstly because he knew her real identity, and secondly because of Xiu. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

It was said that people could feel uneasy when it came to things about their relatives. She had no idea if the other members of the Dongfang family cared about Xiu, but she was sure Dongfang Xu did.

If he were to ask her, how should she answer him?

She involuntarily showed a bitter smile, thinking, “Alas, why did I come across one tricky problem after another recently?”

“Miss, you seem different from before,” Baisu could not help but say when she saw Lin Mengya frown and sigh.

“What do you mean by saying that?” Lin Mengya asked.

Turning around, she did not discover her change.

“Miss, I think that you were nice before, but aloof from secular affairs, which gave me an impression that you’ve seen through everything and brought everything under control. Now, you seem to be bothered by something just like us,” Baisu said.

Hearing her words, Lin Mengya frowned slightly.

She wanted to say that Baisu was sensitive. But after thinking for a while, she found what Baisu said was true.

In the past, she didn’t have a strong sense of belonging to this strange world and only regarded herself as a passer-by here.

Since she discovered that she actually belonged here, she seemed to feel more at ease.

Feeling a touch of warmth, Lin Mengya suddenly felt that something was quickly sprouting in her heart.

Her heart, which had been bitter and broken since she was tortured by her relationship with Long Tianyu and her responsibility, seemed to finally get a chance to take a breath.

“Baisu, I should thank you,” Lin Mengya said and let out a sigh of relief quietly with her face softening.

Come to think of it, she found the reason why she felt uneasy and was in a predicament before was that she had placed herself in a position where she had responsibilities more than she could bear.

Who was she? She was just one of the commonest people in the world and had to bear some responsibilities by accident.

Without her, there would be another person to take these responsibilities.

Thus, she did not have to panic, nor did she have to push herself too hard. She just needed to follow her heart and try her best.

She was afraid of being confused and weak before.

She always thought that she could protect those people she wanted to protect and accomplish the goals she must accomplish by maintaining her fighting will at all times.

But why couldn’t she, an ordinary person after all, be confused and weak?

Fear enabled her to be cautious and make progress.

The reason why she didn’t dare to make it clear to Long Tianyu before was nothing more than that she was afraid that she was not his only mate and he would hurt her feelings.

She just subconsciously used her possible sterility as an excuse to avoid being hurt by him.

If Long Tianyu really loved her, why couldn’t he accept it?

All of a sudden, Lin Mengya found it seemed a little ridiculous for her to shrink from facing up to the problem and feel sad in secret.

In the Dongfangs’ Pharmacy, Lin Mengya completely grew up from a girl to a mature woman.

There came the sounds of someone going upstairs from outside. Lin Mengya pulled herself together, certainly aware of who it was.

She stood up to greet Dongfang Xu who was standing at the door with an overwhelming air that could not be ignored.

Perhaps it was because he had just handled his family affair.

Dongfang Xu, who showed a frosty look, seemed to be in a bad mood.
