The Foolish Husband of the Landlord's Family (GL)

Chapter 27: A Huge Misunderstanding

Song Keyan was in a particularly good mood today and decided to stir up some trouble—not seriously, but just to give Jiang Yuan something to do. She led a few shop assistants towards the pharmacy, only to be stopped by a woman with an imposing presence.

Seeing this woman stand confidently at the entrance, exuding a subtle yet dangerous aura, Song Keyan immediately knew she wasn't one of them. She frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing? I'm here to do business with your manager."

Shiqi replied politely, "Miss, our pharmacy is closed this morning. Since you're not here for medicine, please come back another time."

Jiang Yuan gave the pharmacy staff a day off every six days, and today there were no other employees, so they planned to open in the afternoon. However, anyone needing medicine could still enter, while others could not.

Song Keyan had never seen a business turn away customers, but eager to see Jiang Yuan, she explained patiently, "I'm here to see your manager, not you. Just let them know, won't you?"

Shiqi glanced at Jiang Yuan and Lin Kong standing nearby and reiterated, "We don't do business outside of hours; it's the manager's rule."

"Will some silver change your mind?" Song Keyan offered a silver ingot as a tip, growing impatient as her mood soured.

But Shiqi shook her head again.

"What kind of staff do you hire here?" Song Keyan attempted to push past Shiqi, but her half-hearted skills were easily dodged.

Unfazed, Shiqi maintained, "Miss, our store doesn't open outside of hours. That's the rule."

"I don't believe in your rules," Song Keyan retorted, engaging in a brief scuffle. After losing to Lin Kong last time, she'd improved her skills, confident in her close combat abilities.

Unfortunately, Shiqi's skills were superior, and she deftly pressed an acupoint on Song Keyan's chest, leaving her frozen in a punching stance.

Having left Abu behind to avoid his interference, Song Keyan hadn't expected such a setback.

"Bad girl, this time it wasn't me who touched you," Lin Kong called out, seeing Shiqi press the acupoint and mistakenly thinking she'd touched Song Keyan's chest.

Song Keyan: "..."

Her face flushed as she tried to protest, but unable to turn her head, she could only glare at Shiqi.

Expressionless, Shiqi stepped around Song Keyan and bowed slightly to Jiang Yuan and Lin Kong, "Miss Jiang, this lady wants to do business with you. You must have heard. I'll go practice swords with Mr. Lin."

"Miss Shiqi, Kong'er didn't sleep well last night, so I'll ask for her leave today," Jiang Yuan said, approaching Song Keyan. Seeing her expression as if she owed her millions, Jiang Yuan was puzzled but asked Shiqi to release Song Keyan's acupoint.

Unsure what Song Keyan was up to, Jiang Yuan still gave her face by helping.

With a quick movement, Shiqi released the acupoint. Song Keyan shot her a cold look before turning to glare at Lin Kong.

Though the chest-touching incident had long passed, Lin Kong's careless mention reignited Song Keyan's displeasure.

Unfazed, Lin Kong continued eating her sugar figurine, ignoring Song Keyan as she followed Jiang Yuan inside.
