Chapter 11: Old mute beggar



Chapter 11: Old mute beggar

Gao Lan Mei was not looking forward to dealing with the Second Prince. For her, he was just a lame man who was being controlled by a deceitful, selfish woman.

If a man thinks using his manhood, why walk around pretending to know anything else aside from the art of lovemaking?

The proof that the Second Prince thought more about using his manhood was the royal guards placed to protect a brothel house. His intentions were telling the whole Shizi Empire where his priorities were.

That also proved that the Second prince was not smart enough. 'Was he trying to win the throne this way?' Gao Lan Mei wondered.

To Gao Lan Mei, the Second prince could continue acting like this. It's too much work and effort to deal with a smart enemy anyway.

"Get out! We will call the authorities if you come here again!" Someone exclaimed and that got the attention of most people around. 

In front of the medical pavilion, the shop helper rudely shouted to the old man. The old man looked like a beggar. His old robes were dirty and very tattered.

"Ah! Ah! Um!"

The sounds coming out of the old man's mouth were not legible. He is trying to say something despite being mute.

He was also making gestures using his hands to explain something, but the shopkeeper could not understand it. He also kept on pointing at something inside the medical pavilion.

"Give him a paper and a thin piece of charcoal." Gao Lan Mei said to Gao Chu.

The shopkeeper was not far and so, heard what Gao Lan Mei said which made his face red because of the simple solution. 'Why did he not think of that earlier?'

This old mute beggar had been trying to tell him something from the beginning which had already created a disturbance in the medical pavilion.

Though that was the case, no one thought of this simple solution to know what the beggar was trying to say.

Wait. Could this beggar even write? The shopkeeper realized before he smirked mockingly at the young woman who tried to help the beggar but would soon be embarrassed for worrying about things that were not even her business. 

The shopkeeper was very confident that old mute beggar hadn't gotten any education.

He had been in the medical pavilion for more than three years. He was aware that the beggar was already staying in the alley at the back of the medical pavilion since before he arrived.

He would like to tell everyone that this beggar could not write to shame the young woman wearing the face veil, but before he was able to do so, the beggar started to write quickly on the paper using a small piece of charcoal.

After he finished writing, he gave the paper to Gao Lan Mei.

She did not expect the beggar would give the paper to her. He was now trying to gesture for her to quickly read what he wrote.

"The walnuts are poisonous." Gao Lan Mei read the words on the paper aloud. Loud enough for two or three people near her to hear.

"Impossible!" another shopkeeper named Yu exclaimed. The people who heard it gasped.

Shopkeeper Yu had just arrived at the scene. He decided to see what was going on with the crowd in front of the medical pavilion. As soon as he got closer to the shopkeeper, he heard what Gao Lan Mei had said.

With the owner currently in the third level, who knew if he was in a bad mood and decided to dismiss him just because it was noisy.

He quickly tried to snatch the paper that the young Gao Lan Mei was holding, but he was not successful.

"Miss! Why are you not giving me the paper?! Are you lying?" Yu's face was black.

This damned girl! It was easier to manipulate the crowd's opinion if he was the one holding the chips!

"Lying? I just read exactly what's written in this paper. It's up to you if you want to believe it or not. This paper is not mine. So, ask the old beggar if he wants me to give this paper to you."
