Doctor Fu walked over with keen interest. “A banded krait? And quite plump too. Where did you catch it?”  

-Banded krait, is an extremely venomous species of elapid endemic to Asia, from Indian Subcontinent through Southeast Asia to Southern China. 

Su Xiaoxiao replied, “In the palace.”  

Doctor Fu: “…”  

After handling the snake and its gallbladder, Su Xiaoxiao made another trip to Ling Yun’s place.  

When the three little ones heard she was leaving, they clung to her legs, eager to accompany her.  

“We don’t get to see mom during the day.” Xiaohu said, pouting.  

Even though they enjoyed their lessons with Shifu*, once class was over, all they wanted was to be with their mother.  

*Shifu: Master (as mentor or teacher).   

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and ruffled his little head, then took all three children along.  

On the way back, she kissed each of them in turn.  

The three covered their flushed little faces, overwhelmed with shyness.  

“Mom, why did you kiss us?” Erhu asked.  

Su Xiaoxiao bent down, gently stroking his head, and said gently, “Suddenly, I really wanted to kiss you guys.”

When she first started conducting business in town, she didn’t have much money and could only afford to set up a street stall.

With the consultancy fees from the Zhenbei Marquis household and the living expenses Wei Ting had Xiao Hei give her, she only had a modest amount of initial funds.

In the capital, she should be able to rent a decent space.

Broker Li chose five stores depending on her requirements, including two on Zhuangyuan Street, one large and one smaller.  

The smaller one was previously a tavern, but its owner had mismanaged it and was now hastily relocating the business.

The larger one was a well-established pharmacy that had been in business for more than ten years.

Their business had been thriving until Renxin Hall opened next to it last year, displacing many of its customers.

They also nearly murdered a patient last month, but Renxin Hall stepped in just in time to save him.

Otherwise, someone would have died.  

“They simply can’t keep going anymore.” Broker Li said.  

The first place they visited was this pharmacy.  

The pharmacy had two floors, the first floor consisted of the main hall and the medicine dispensary, while the second floor housed the accounting room and side rooms. It also included a spacious backyard and two well-ventilated rear annex rooms.  

“This place could do…” Doctor Fu said.  

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.  

At first glance, she was pretty satisfied.  

The walls and floors were clean, the lighting was excellent, and the medicine cabinets were already in place. 

The side rooms’ functionality could be altered. With slight renovation, they could open for business practically immediately after renting it.  

Most importantly, it was close to Lihua Lane.  

“Is this the closest one?” 

Su Xiaoxiao asked Broker Li.

Broker Li said, “Yes, and there’s also a shop very close by on Changliu Street, just a mile farther than this one. Previously, it was a winery, but the owner found the space too small and rented another shop in the eastern part of the city instead. So, the old shop closed down.”  

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “How does its size compare to this shop?”  

Broker Li replied, “The winery’s cellar has a bigger area. It has a large one-story building, similar to the pharmacy. It simply does not have a rear annex.”  

Su Xiaoxiao had a rough idea in mind. “How much would it cost to acquire this shop?”  

Broker Li took out his ledger and flipped through it. 

“Are you… looking to rent or buy?”  

Su Xiaoxiao hummed thoughtfully. 

“Is this shop for sale too?”  

Broker Li smiled and said, “Yes, it’s originally their family’s property. If you’re interested in buying, now is a good time. After such a major incident, the market here has taken a hit, so the price can be negotiated even lower.”  

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Just tell me how much.”  

Broker Li held up his hand, showing eight fingers.  

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Eight hundred taels?”  

The three little ones were running around the main hall.  

Xiaohu mimicked, “Eight hundred taels! Eight hundred taels!”  

Broker Li shook his head awkwardly.  

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “It couldn’t be eighty, could it?”  

Broker Li: You really dare to dream ah.…..  

Broker Li cleared his throat lightly. “Eight thousand.”
