Chapter 673: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Shu Yu immediately raised her hand and swore, pointing towards the sky, "I absolutely won't lie. I am the most honest person. And those in our line of work must avoid falsehoods. If I dare deceive you, let the heavens strike me."
The phrase "let the heavens strike you" was spoken in a soft tone, and only Da Ya, who was beside her, heard it.
Initially, Da Ya was about to stop her from making the oath, frightened by her audacity. However, she was momentarily stunned by those two words and couldn't react in time.
When she finally regained her senses, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
But boss He, who heard Shu Yu's words, felt slightly relieved.
Fifteen minutes later, boss He memorized the prescription that Shu Yu had mentioned and walked out of the alley.
Once they were sure boss He had gone far enough, Shu Yu pulled Da Ya along and followed behind.
When they reached a secluded place, Da Ya couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Ah, Ah Yu, did you really see something dirty on boss He's shoulder earlier?"
Her second sister actually had such an ability? How incredible.
Shu Yu remained silent.
Seeing Da Ya's fearful yet amazed expression, Shu Yu couldn't help but cover her face and said, "Sis, do you actually believe that? If I really had such abilities, I would become a fraudster and wouldn't be exiled to this righteous village, suffering like this."
Da Ya glanced at her. "But aren't you like a fraudster now?"
But soon, Da Ya snapped back to reality. "So, you... you lied to him?"
"Well, I wanted to take action, but then I realized that as a civilized person who knows proper etiquette, not everything can be solved by resorting to violence. So I thought it would be better to just talk," Shu Yu explained.
Da Ya looked at her with a complex expression. "But aren't you afraid of being exposed? Although boss He may not be well-educated, he couldn't have become the local leader without some intelligence. He was temporarily fooled by you, but when he thinks it over, he might figure it out."
Shu Yu smiled slyly. "Sis, even though I deceived him, I didn't make things up out of thin air. He genuinely feels discomfort in his shoulder."
"You figured that out?"
Shu Yu nodded. After all, her master was the head of Dongqing Temple, and she had learned a thing or two from him, despite her mediocre talent as his disciple.
For example... keen observation.
When she approached boss He earlier, she noticed that his complexion was yellowish, and his lips were slightly purple—a clear sign of an underlying ailment.
"I've known Zhao Xi the Physician for a long time, and he has taught me some knowledge about diseases. I could guess what illness boss He might be suffering from. Plus, when he spoke, he occasionally moved his shoulder, clearly showing discomfort in his neck and shoulders."
Da Ya suddenly realized, following up with a furrowed brow. "So, he's actually sick? But you also mentioned his recent streak of bad luck, stepping on dog poop or getting clothes torn. Was that just made up?"
"That's because I saw that his shoes had dog feces on the side. As for the accidents and torn clothes, I made those up. After all, even in our daily lives, we can make mistakes when we're not careful. Now, he's not in his best mental state due to the illness, so it's natural for him to magnify small incidents," Shu Yu explained.
Ultimately, it all relied on boss He's psychological state.
"But the prescription you gave him is actually a treatment prescription?" Da Ya asked.
Shu Yu smiled mischievously. "Well, the ingredients and instructions do have healing properties, but they won't directly cure his illness. It's more about providing comfort and promoting a healthier lifestyle. It's a combination of psychological and physical well-being."
Da Ya nodded, understanding the approach Shu Yu had taken. The two sisters continued on their way, knowing that their actions had set a plan in motion to dismantle the exploitative schemes targeting their family.
