The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 319: Overhearing Everything

Ah Hu didn’t dare to scrape the tiles too hard, afraid of making noise and worried that the tiles might not hold his weight and come off.

He moved his neck around and was just about to leave when he heard a knocking sound from below.

Then Master Chen got up to open the door.

Zhou Shaoping walked in.

Ah Hu thought, maybe he should hold on a bit longer and hear what the two of them had to say.

Zhou Shaoping plopped down carelessly by the table, "Did you get anything today?"

Master Chen gave a bitter laugh, "Young Master, you keep coming to me like this, aren’t you afraid of being noticed?"

Zhou Shaoping glanced at him sideways, "What’s the big deal? Even if we walked out arm in arm, no one would suspect a thing."

"Can’t we be friends at first sight?"

Ah Hu, lying on the roof, felt his heart start to race.

Damn, who would have thought the two of them already knew each other!

They never exchanged even a word at the shop or while eating; there must be something fishy here!

He concentrated intensely, carefully listening to the conversation below.

Master Chen sighed and shook out some white powder from his sleeve pocket.

The powder was still coarse and clearly hadn’t been thoroughly ground.

Zhou Shaoping tasted a bit first and after a while said, "There’s definitely some borneol in it, it’s got a chilly sensation."

Master Chen tasted it too, "There’s some notoginseng."

Zhou Shaoping nodded, "Definitely, for injuries and bruises, you can hardly do without notoginseng."

They continued tasting, and after a long while, Master Chen slowly said, "Seems like there’s some galangal, and perhaps some shells?"

Then he shook his head, "The rest, I really can’t identify."

"The taste of borneol is overpowering and masks the other ingredients’ flavors."

Zhou Shaoping stared at Master Chen without speaking, leading Master Chen to say helplessly, "Young Master, don’t you trust me?"

"I just want to get the formula quickly so I can go home."

Only then did Zhou Shaoping say, "This medicine has quite a few ingredients, what use is it to identify just a few?"

"Even missing one or misidentifying one means total failure."

He disdainfully looked at the pile of medicinal powder on the table, "Why didn’t you bring this earlier? It’s ground too fine."

Master Chen sighed, "It was hard enough for me to find a chance today."

Ah Hu thought from above, so it was indeed Master Chen who tampered with Lao Jiu’s grinding trough.

Master Chen sighed, "Yesterday’s six-ingredient rehmannia pill was relatively easy to guess, thanks to the Young Master’s knowledge, but this, I fear, even with hard thinking, we can’t figure out."

Ah Hu was already clear; these two had stolen the medicinal powder and were here trying to guess someone else’s formula.

Zhou Shaoping said, "Then let’s wait a bit longer, even if it takes more time, it’s worth it."

Master Chen nodded, "I see they haven’t made much of the White Medicine today, so they’ll probably have to prepare more soon."

Then Zhou Shaoping carefully swept the medicinal powder on the table onto a piece of paper and carefully wrapped it up.

Putting the wrapped paper into his chest, Zhou Shaoping stood up, "I’m leaving now, you hurry up."

After Zhou Shaoping left, Master Chen sighed and went back to lie on the bed.

Ah Hu carefully replaced the tiles and slipped away.

He went back to Lin Shuo’s room and told him everything, Lin Shuo slapped the table, "Just as I suspected."

"Here’s what we’ll do, you take a trip to the Yuelu Academy to bring San Lang back, then we’ll all discuss what to do about this together."

Jiang Youzhi’s thinking was something Lin Shuo had confidence in.

Ah Hu agreed, went downstairs, and rode off on a horse.
