"Black Treasure, Xiao Bai, take your time and eat here. Don't leave. Order after you're done eating. Don't cause trouble!"
"I'll be back in a while!"
He had no choice but to remind them. These two brothers would do anything when they were drunk. They were dragons and were born to fight!
Zhang Xing hurried downstairs and came to a group of onlookers.
He peeked through the gap and saw that it was indeed Snow and Fei-er. Beside them was a man in his fifties.
Opposite them was a middle-aged man dressed like a pharmacist.
The pharmacist said, "I left it on the table when we were eating just now. It's gone in the blink of an eye. There were only the three of you around. This young lady was the closest to it. She was the one who stole it!"
"I didn't steal it. I didn't see any pills at all!"
Snow glared at him angrily.
"That's right, Mr. Pharmacist. My daughter would never take any pills from you. Although our family has declined, we are still a baron. How could we do something so shameful!"
So this man in his fifties is Snow's father!
What are the father and daughter doing here?
Are they here to look for me?
When I left the territory last time, I told them to come and play when they were free.
That was just for the people around to see, lest some ignorant people find trouble with them.
At this moment, the pharmacist pointed at the bag on Snow's back and said, "Young lady, you're not honest at all. Open the bag and take a look. My pills are hidden inside!"
"This …"
Snow's father was stunned.
At this point, he still didn't understand that he was being blackmailed. He had lived for so long in vain.
The pharmacist smiled sinisterly. His eyes kept darting between Snow and Fei-er. I knew that you three were poor nobles from the countryside.
You ordered three bowls of noodles when you came to the food street. It was obvious how poor you were.
I have my eyes on your two daughters. I can get them with a little trick. Even if you know, you can't do anything about it.
"That's right. You'll know whether you stole it or not when you open the bag!"
"That one-star pharmacist is the manager of the Pharmacist Guild branch in the capital. He wouldn't frame a good person!"
"I don't think this young lady is a thief either!"
"Tsk!
That's not necessarily true. They're already so poor. What can they not do? "
"…"
The onlookers were pointing at the father and daughter trio.
Tears welled up in Xue 'er's eyes. "Alright, I'll open it for you to see. I didn't steal it, so I didn't steal it!"
As he spoke, he took the package off his shoulder and was about to open it.
Xue 'er's father's face was pale, and he was extremely anxious. Oh no, oh no!
He had been tricked!
However, at this moment, everyone felt their vision blur as a child appeared in front of them.
"Xue 'er, it's really you. Why didn't you look for me when you came?"
"Ah!
Zhang Xing … "
When Xue 'er saw Zhang Xing, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Zhang Xing very naturally grabbed the package in Xue 'er's hands. No one noticed that his finger had moved, and the bottle of pills in the package had been replaced.
Fei-er's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Xing, and her spirits immediately perked up.
"Our savior is here!"
"If I can plead with City Lord Zhang Xing, perhaps the family's funds will be able to flow through, and our only shop won't have to close down!"
"The two of them won't have to be servants of father's marquis friend anymore!"
"Whose child is this? Go and play by the side. Your Sister Xue 'er is a thief!"
The pharmacist was getting impatient.
"Hmm?
Thief?
What did Xue 'er steal from you? "
Zhang Xing turned around and smiled calmly.
Yoho!
A brat actually wanted to stand up for justice!
The pharmacist snorted in disdain.
"She stole this alchemist's pills!"
"What grade are the pills?"
Zhang Xing said.
