Forced her into demonic possession: There will be no more gods in the world!

Chapter 19 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey

"The old lady? The old lady is too old! She's recuperating at home! As for this shop, it was part of my mother's dowry. Even if the old lady wanted to take it over, I'm afraid she couldn't!"

Yun Juan's words were also a dig at the other party.

Those who could sit in the position of shopkeeper were naturally not fools; he understood the meaning behind Yun Juan's words.

“Since ancient times, dowry has always belonged to the individual. Could it be that the Yun family doesn’t?” Yun Juan tilted her head like a naive little girl who had just come from the countryside and knew nothing about the world.

A kind-hearted old lady overheard Yun Quan's story and gave her a brief explanation.

"In the ancient times of Tianyuan Kingdom, all the dowry of a woman upon marriage belongs to her, and after the woman's death, it belongs to her daughter! The Yun family is also from my Tianyuan Kingdom, so of course it is the same!"

"Yes, yes! Could it be that this old lady from the Yun family wants to seize someone else's dowry?"

"No way? Now I remember, the Yun family used to be from the countryside!"

"I remember now, when Madam Yun got married, she was the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's mansion, and her dowry was truly magnificent! At that time, Madam Yun was marrying down!"

"I also remember that Prime Minister Yun's meteoric rise to power only began after he married Lady Yun! I simply cannot believe that Lady Yun did not play a part in this!"

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, and Yun Quan was quite pleased to hear it.

Upon hearing that the neighbors were all on the side of this young girl, the shopkeeper tried to run away, but Qinghe blocked his way!

"Shopkeeper, you absolutely can't just run away like this! Although the prices of the herbs in this pharmacy are relatively low, there's still a profit to be made!"

Yun Quan walked to the medicine dispensing area and opened each of the small drawers to check them.

Great, wonderful, absolutely wonderful! It's all low-grade medicinal herbs!

Is this how they've been oppressing the people for so many years?

"Come here, take a close look at this. What is this pile of things? You dare to bring up such low-grade medicinal herbs? Or are you lining your own pockets? Did you put all of it into your own pocket?"

Yun Juan grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar, causing him to stumble. He was surprised that the little girl was so strong despite her small stature.

"This...this has nothing to do with me!" The shopkeeper absolutely refused to admit it.

After doing this, the money he earned didn't just go into his own pocket; the old lady also took some.

Otherwise, where would all that money come from if everything she wore and used wasn't of the highest quality? It was naturally obtained through these exchanges.

He spent most of it on supporting his mother, so he doesn't know if asking his mother for help will be of any use now!

"Fine! You won't admit it, right? That's alright! Qinghe, go report it to the authorities and say your house has been burgled!"

Upon receiving the order, Qinghe went directly to the yamen (government office).

The shopkeeper next to him was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. It's all over, everything is over!

He never imagined this little girl was so capable! When the officials arrive, even if he tries to implicate Old Madam Yun, she probably won't admit it.

I'm definitely going to take the blame for this hotpot!

"Please, Miss, spare me! Please forgive my rudeness! I have elderly parents and young children to support, and my family depends on me! Please, Miss, show me mercy!" The shopkeeper, resigned to his fate, knelt directly in front of Yun Juan, his head banging loudly.

Blood quickly stained the ground.

"I can let you go, but do it! This little finger will have to stay today!" Yun Juan took out a dagger from her spatial storage and threw it in front of the shopkeeper, letting him choose for himself.

She wanted to make an example of one shop to warn others. These shops were probably all in cahoots. Once she broke the mold of one shop, the others would be more easily dealt with.

"I...I choose...I'll do it! Please, young lady, spare my family!" The shopkeeper's knife flashed, showing he was a ruthless man!

"Ah..." A scream accompanied by the sound of fingers and a dagger falling made everyone at the scene's hearts skip a beat.

"The harm shouldn't extend to the wife and children. This matter is over! You can leave now!" Yun Juan dismissed the man, but many people were still gathered at the door!

"Everyone, about what happened today..." Yun Juan looked at them.

"We understand, we won't say anything..."

"Yes, yes, let's just pretend we didn't see it!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't see it..."

"Fellow villagers, you've probably misunderstood something! You must spread this word, and not just say it plainly, but exaggerate it!"

Yun Quan clasped her hands in a fist salute to everyone and made a very cute expression.

Everyone was stunned, some even picking their ears, wondering if they had misheard.

How can there be people who are exaggerating and embellishing the story?

Qinghe, standing nearby, also didn't understand.

"Fellow villagers, you can all leave now. I will renovate this shop and reopen it. I will still operate on a low-profit, high-volume model, and provide free medical consultations for those who cannot afford it! I will need your support then!"

After Yun Juan saw off the villagers, Qing He couldn't help but ask her young mistress directly.

"Miss? Why are you doing this? It would be terrible if word got out! I'm afraid it would be hard to explain to the Yun family!" Qinghe was worried for her young mistress, remembering that the old lady and the master were both angry.

"What do you know? This is a form of indirect marketing! No matter the era, people can't shake their love for gossip and rumors! Isn't this promoting our shop?"

Yun Quan winked at Qing He, raised her eyebrows, and gave her an expression that said, "You're still too young and don't understand."

"But Miss, isn't this negative gossip?" Qinghe felt that spreading this matter might not bring good publicity to the shop.

"You little girl, you don't understand, do you? Black and red are still red! Back in the day, those little stars..."

Oh, no, that's not right. Da Niu from our village couldn't find a wife, so he talked about his gossip. Later, everyone in the surrounding villages knew Da Niu.

He eventually married three concubines, and all three wives praised him for being honest and capable!

Yun Juan almost blurted out that many modern celebrities ruin their reputations to become famous, and that's exactly what they do—being infamous is still being famous!

She only started trying to whitewash herself at the very end; she was just borrowing their ideas!

The shop closed, but Yun Quan discovered an even more important problem.

That means she doesn't seem to have that many capable people at her disposal. Right now, she only has Qinghe and Qingmiao by her side, so she should buy more maids.

As for this Yiyuantang clinic, it needs to be renovated and a few more doctors need to be hired, otherwise the free clinic we promised to the people will probably fall through!

These maids and servants are relatively easy to buy, but doctors are not so easy to find! Famous doctors probably all have their own pharmacies.

She wasn't very knowledgeable about treating patients and saving lives.
