"If you could get that acclaimed physician to make a house call, I, Wei Ming, would be eternally grateful." Uncle Ming was now placing all his hopes on Qing Yi.
"Uncle Ming, you’re too kind." Qing Yi thought to himself, Had his relationship with the drunkard become so good that even young master Shangguan had noticed?
"He has already agreed to administer medical treatment, so without further delay, let’s set out now." Qing Yi thought to prepare to ask Jun Moyan for leave to accompany the drunkard on the journey.
This was the first time, since he met the drunkard, that he was going out to give medical treatment to someone other than the third young master, so he had to follow and see for himself.
"You mean that the physician has agreed?" Uncle Ming was a bit slow to react.
Hadn’t General Shangguan just said last night that he wouldn’t help? Today, they hadn’t even met face to face, had not even started discussing, and the terms of the consultation fee had not been negotiated, how did it suddenly happen that he agreed?
"Then, where is he now? Is he in Wu Garden?" Uncle Ming was a bit surprised.
It seemed the physician wasn’t as... difficult to communicate with as General Shangguan had said.
Perhaps he was in a good mood today, or maybe he just couldn’t be bothered to listen to his long-winded request for treatment.
"He’s right here." Qing Yi looked toward the drunkard who was sitting directly at the small table, pouring and drinking water by himself, without any semblance of dignity.
Uncle Ming followed Qing Yi’s gaze to the drunkard, who had been ignored all along, and was slightly puzzled.
"Besides this medicine box, do you need to prepare anything else?" Qing Yi lifted the medicine box in his hand and asked the drunkard.
"Don’t rush." The drunkard said with a smile to Qing Yi, then helped pour him a glass of water and handed it to him.
"You drink it." Qing Yi didn’t take it, with the third young master and Uncle Ming both standing there, he couldn’t drink it.
The drunkard didn’t say anything, seeing that Qing Yi didn’t want it, he drank it himself.
"Have you brought the patient? I’m too lazy to pack up for a long trip. If not, bring the patient over first." The drunkard looked at Uncle Ming.
"They’ve been brought, just in a hotel not far from here."
"You’re not really the drunkard... the acclaimed physician, are you?" Uncle Ming could hardly believe it.
So he looked at Jun Moyan for confirmation.
Seeing Jun Moyan nod, Uncle Ming was astonished. This... the physician was so different from what he had imagined. For more chapters visıt n0velfire.net
"Is it different from what you expected?" The drunkard said with a smile.
"...Indeed." Isn’t he too young, this is a physician, not a physician’s apprentice?
"Are you quite disappointed, thinking it’s not very reliable?" The drunkard chuckled again.
"No, Wei just finds it a bit surprising, nothing more. The physician who has gained the attention and trust to stay by Jun Moyan’s side must surely be a young prodigy. Wei admires that."
If it were anyone else, he would never dare let such an unfamiliar young kid tend to Elder Bai’s illness, but this was Jun Moyan’s man.
Anyone who could stay by Jun Moyan’s side was not an ordinary person.
He didn’t trust the drunkard, but he trusted Jun Moyan.
"Alright, let’s stop the chatter, we should now..." The drunkard was about to say they should go now, to save the patient sooner and come back to catch up on sleep.
He had only begun to speak when he caught a glimpse of the petite figure appearing on the second-floor corridor, and the rest of the drunkard’s words stopped abruptly.
He naturally withdrew his gaze from Wen Xiao’ai, not lingering for a second longer before picking up his cup and drinking from it again.
The drunkard lowered his eyes, quietly drinking his water, lost in thought.
His abrupt pause left everyone else unsure of what was happening.
What... does this mean? Should we start now... does that mean we’re setting out?
"Do you need to prepare something else?" Seeing the drunkard only drinking his water and not continuing to talk, Qing Yi asked uncertainly.
"Mm, indeed, there is still preparation to be done."
No, it was time to start over with the preparations.
