Chapter 162: Repaying Kindness

Editor: Atlas Studios

Pang Kongqing glared at him. “When did I say that I went to the mountains to pick herbs?” Pang Kongqing was extraordinarily resentful. Why didn’t his family look for him when he had gone to the Mu residence to attend to a patient and had not returned all night?

The shopkeeper said in surprise, “Shunzi came over yesterday to inform us. He said that after you finished treating the Mu family, on the way back, you heard someone mention some plants in the mountains and suspected that they were precious medicinal herbs, so you went into the mountains. Coincidentally, you bumped into Shunzi and asked him to come back to inform us. Yesterday night, Madam even blamed you for not bringing along more people.”

The boss had done this many times, so although Madam and he complained, they were never worried. Knowing the boss was more timid and afraid of death than anyone else, he would definitely not go to dangerous places. Why did something not sound quite right?

Pang Kongqing’s face darkened. “Go and find out what happened to Shunzi.” He waved his hand and left. Halfway there, he stopped and said, “Since he said that I went up the mountain to pick herbs, just leave it at that. In the future, if anyone should ask, just tell them that.”

The shopkeeper’s expression also turned serious as he nodded in agreement. Looking at the carriage at the side, he asked, “Boss, I’ll get someone to send this carriage to the Thousand Mile Carriage Dealer.”

Pang Kongqing almost fell. He turned around and glared at him. “You’re saying that this horse belongs to the Thousand Mile Carriage Dealer? It doesn’t belong to our family?”

Startled, the shopkeeper was even more puzzled. He pointed at the horse carriage and a mark on the horse’s butt and said, “Boss, this horse and carriage are both from the Thousand Mile Carriage Dealer. The mark is still here.” After saying that, he continued with a bitter expression, “Boss, don’t think about raising horses anymore. It’s better to raise a donkey as a means of transportation. Our family bought horses twice. Every time, they were expropriated just as they became fat and strong. If this continues, no matter how big our family business is, it will be reduced to nothing.”

Because the Pang Family had two medicinal shops and had accumulated wealth for more than 100 years, they were considered rich. However, the previous patriarchs of the Pang Family had always been upright and could be considered kind-hearted. Therefore, although the Pang Family had made a fortune earlier than a few Minister Counselors, their family wealth was far inferior.

In Pang Kongqing’s generation, because Pang Kongqing’s hobbies were a little strange, he spent his family’s wealth at a relatively faster rate.

Fortunately, the Pang family was diligent and thrifty. They had always had income and a solid foundation, so he didn’t manage to waste away the entire family fortune. However, for the sake of the next generation, the shopkeeper felt that he had to keep a close eye on the owner no matter what.

Oblivious to what the shopkeeper was thinking, Pang Kongqing only felt angry. He had thought that this horse and carriage belonged to those bandits. Since they had sent him back in a carriage, this thing naturally belonged to him.

On account of that rather handsome horse, he had reluctantly forgiven them for being domineering and unreasonable. But now, Pang Kongqing decided to never forgive them.

Pang Kongqing, on the other hand, did not know that someone had taken note of his reaction. That person turned around and reported it to Qi Xiuyuan.
