With steady footfall, two figures slowly descended the stairs.
"Imperial Teacher Su really knows how to keep his composure, doesn’t he? With his son practically one foot in the grave, he still has the heart to go out and dine. I must admire his resolve."
Suyang lifted his head, looking at Lin Caisang descending the staircase one step at a time, cursing inwardly countless times.
However, he couldn’t do anything to her.
Be it him or his son Suri, they would probably need her help.
"What exactly do you want, Miss?" he asked in a deep voice.
Lin Caisang walked down step by step until she stopped a few steps in front of Suyang.
"Just now, it seems Imperial Teacher Su had some objections towards me. Thinking back to people seeking medical treatment in the past, none of them ever had any objections about me. It wouldn’t be good to break the trend here and mar my reputation. Don’t you think so, Imperial Teacher Su?"
Lin Caisang looked at him steadily as she asked.
At her words, Suyang felt as if someone’s foot was crushing his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The word was gritted out from between his teeth.
"Miss, earlier at the entrance of my mansion, I disrespected you. I would like to apologize. I hope that you, as a generous person, will not hold this against me."
Since he came here, he might as well go all the way.
"Well, well," Lin Caisang nodded.
She lifted her hand, lightly flicking her sleeve in the air.
All of a sudden, Suyang felt the ceaseless pain on his body seemingly healed in an instant, as if the pain was never there in the first place.
He was stunned, an inexplicable fear towards the young girl before him rising up in his heart.
The young girl, even with a mask on, looked so young, how could she possess such ability? It seemed, he had truly underestimated her. This young girl, was not to be messed with.
"Thank you for your mercy, Miss."
His face slightly pale, despite his unwillingness, he still bowed to Lin Caisang in gratitude.
Lin Caisang only showed a broad grin, without saying much.
"Miss, since everything is settled, shall we... leave?" Sui Ziyou promptly stepped forward and asked Lin Caisang.
Lin Caisang glanced at her and nodded.
Having heard the conversation, both Suyang and the housekeeper froze in surprise. Without another word, Suyang shot the housekeeper a swift glance.
The housekeeper understood, immediately bringing out the previously collected notice, and respectfully presented it in front of Lin Caisang. "Miss, we humbly ask for your assistance to treat the young master."
Lin Caisang lowered her eyes, just taking a brief look at the notice, but not taking it.
"To treat the sick and save lives is the duty of a doctor. However, the reward in this notice... haha." She let out a cold chuckle.
The housekeeper, clueless, raised his head to look at Lin Caisang, but he did not see her spare him even a sidelong glance, so he turned to look at his master in confusion.
Wasn’t this lady here to treat the young master? Why wouldn’t she accept the notice now? Could it be that she was dissatisfied with the reward stated on the notice? But even a thousand-year-old ginseng alone was enough to make many doctors long for it.
What else was there that didn’t meet her satisfaction?
"Our mistress has mentioned this before. The thousand-year-old ginseng is too precious and she doesn’t want it. Perhaps it’s better to offer her a different form of gratitude." Sui Ziyou stepped forward and spoke bluntly to Suyang.
