What that "definitely" meant, Xiao Wan'er couldn't figure out.
Or rather, she could imagine it, but she couldn't achieve it.
The Medicine Hall's poor business wasn't Chen Yi's fault.
Even if Wang Ji were still there, or if they had hired another capable Shopkeeper, the result would have been the same.
Chen Yi knew this all too well.
He had been clear about it long before he chose to "rest"—when it came to treating patients, Linglan Pavilion was far more capable than the Xiao Family Medicine Hall.
Besides having famous Physicians on staff, they also had the backing of a well-established Medicine Hall in Jing State with a long heritage of prescriptions.
Combined with their relatively cheaper medicinal herbs, no other Medicine Hall could possibly compete with Linglan Pavilion.
As for the Xiao Family Medicine Hall...
At least, without using the Xiao family's connections, the Government Office, or the Dingyuan Army, the Xiao Family Medicine Hall's business was bound to suffer.
