Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Want Them Compensate For The Missing Herbs

"Spector Grass is a herb that is not easy to find here. The range of the price was about 100,000 Yuan. Not to mention, other herbs are missing as well. If we put these together, the amount of the whole thing is about 2 million Yuan. If you lost the item, you should compensate us that much." Bai Xifeng said.

"Why should we believe the words from a stupid girl like you?" Han Yunru scoffed.

"What do you say?" Bai Xiang looked at Han Yunru.

Bai Tingfeng was also displeased with Han Yunru.

Han Yunru felt the sudden oppression crushed her body. She fell on her knees.

"Mother." Bai Huiling tried to help her mother.

"Uncle, please forgive my mother." Bai Huiling looked at Bai Xiang begging him to forgive her mother.

"You better watch out your mouth, Han Yunru. Otherwise, you will lose your life." Bai Xiang recovered his aura.

Han Yunru breathed. Just now, she felt like she was dying.

"If you don’t believe me, we can call someone from a pharmacy shop or we can call someone from Shanghai Pavillion. What do you prefer?" Bai Xifeng smiled while her eyes were not.

"So, what do you want to do right now? Pay up or ..." Bai Xiang did not finish his sentence while looking at Bai Family members coldly.

"Han Yunru, give the herbs back to them. Otherwise, they would kill you." Bai Guowei whispered to Han Yunru.

Han Yunru was unwilling to do so. The herbs were for their family, especially for her eldest daughter and youngest son. All of the herbs were good for the cultivation. How could she let the things go?

Even though Bai Guowei was whispering to Han Yunru, it had been heard by Bai Xiang, Bai Tingfeng, and Bai Xifeng.

"I see... Han Yunru, you dare to steal my mother’s dowry." Bai Xifeng chuckled.

Han Yunru who was already pale became more paler when she heard the statement.

"You better give those things back. Otherwise, you will not wake up tomorrow to see the new day." Bai Xiang said.

Han Yunru was trembling. She looked at the maid not far from her stand.

"Go and take the silver box inside my second drawer." Han Yunru said.

Even though they were good herbs, she still loved her life. The maid received the order and rushed to Han Yunru’s courtyard.

"You should behave like this from the start." Bai Xifeng said.

"I will ask someone to take a look at the account book of the stores." Bai Xiang said.

The Bai Family member’s faces were not so good when they heard the statement.

The maid who went to retrieve the silver box came back. She gave the silver box to Bai Xiang while she was trembling.

Bai Xiang ignored the trembling and took the silver box. He then handed the silver box to his daughter. Bai Xifeng took the silver box from her father.

"Why do you give this silver box while you know it is locked? You should hand out the key as well." Bai Xifeng looked at Han Yunru.

Han Yunru’s eyes trembled too. She thought Bai Xiang would open the silver box by force. When the silver box forcedly opened, the things inside the silver box would be ruined.

That was why she did not hand over the key. She did not know that Bai Xiang would give the silver box to Bai Xifeng and Bai Xifeng knew that this silver box needed to be opened by the key.

"Hand over the key!" Bai Xiang was slightly furious when Han Yunru still wanted to play a trick on them.

"Yes... Yes... I will give it to you." Han Yunru took out the key.

Bai Xifeng approached Han Yunru and snatched the key from Han Yunru. Without feeling shy, she opened the silver box.

The Spector Grass was inside with other herbs that were on the list. Only some of them were missing.

"Two of the herbs are missing. Red Fire Leaf and Snow Mountain Flower." Bai Xifeng said.

"I have used the Red Fire Leaf before. As for the Snow Mountain Flower, we gave it to His Majesty as a birthday present three years ago." Bai Guowei said.

"You dare to give my wife’s dowry as a present." Bai Xiang said angrily.

"Father, calm down." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xiang stopped and waited for his daughter.

"Since you used my mother’s dowry, you need to compensate us. Wait until we calculate the account books first." Bai Xifeng said.

The Bai Family members’ faces stiffened. It needed they would let to pay no matter what.

"Father, I think we already get what we need. There is no need to stay here anymore." Bai Tingfeng stated.

"Master, what should we do? Our carriage did not have space to bring everything back." Bai Chao said.

"You don’t need to worry about that." Bai Xiang said.

He took out the storage rune. He held the storage ruin. Then, an unthinkable thing happened. Everyone could see that all of the dowry items flew into the piece of paper held by Bai Xiang.

"All done. Let’s go home." Bai Xiang said.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng and Bai Tingfeng nodded.

Bai Chao who still was shocked followed them. He had things to ask his master. But he knew this was not a good place to ask them

Well, even the Bai Family was shocked seeing the things. They did not understand what happened just now.
