Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Including Everyone, Understand? Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Including Everyone, Understand? “Fine, fine, miss, please come this way. The brush and ink have already been prepared.”
Old Master Zhong complied repeatedly, even though he didn’t quite understand Lin Caisang’s words, he still turned to look at Zhong You.
“You’er, you’ve worked hard looking after your grandfather in these past few days. You may go back and rest now, and I’ll come to see you once I get a spare moment.”
“Yes, father, I shall retreat.”
Zhong You could only respond in compliance, glanced at Lin Caisang, then left.
Lin Caisang came to the outer hall and saw that the ink and paper had already been placed on the table. She began to write the prescription, pondering over it for some time before she finally handed a matured prescription to Old Master Zhong.
“Old Master Zhong, you might as well prepare the medicine according to the prescription. The process of boiling the medicine and when to take it are all written in the prescription. The old master is aging and cannot take any shocks. In the future, please refrain from troubling the old man with any family affairs.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Old Master Zhong nodded in agreement.
“Miss, when can my grandfather wake up?”
“Once the medicine is prepared and boiled, he should be able to wake up,” Lin Caisang thought before replying.
“Take good care of him. I will come back in a few days to check on the old master. If he shows signs of improvement, there should be no issues.”
“Thank you, miss, thank you, miss.”
Old Master Zhong is full of gratitude towards Lin Caisang. For others, their son might be their lifeblood, but for him, his father is his lifeblood. If anything were to happen to his father, he would be devastated.
“You are truly a great benefactor to our family. I have ordered someone to prepare the silver taels. I hope you will kindly accept.”
On hearing this, Lin Caisang merely lifted her gaze, casting an indifferent glance at him. She was here for the silver, so naturally, she would accept. Otherwise, why would she make this unnecessary visit?
With Grand Old Master Zhong mostly healed, Lin Caisang took her reward of five hundred silver taels and prepared to leave.
Just so happens, the steward hurried in from outside, holding a set of silver needles which he handed to Lin Caisang. She unceremoniously accepted them.
“Old Master Zhong, I will take my leave now.” That said, she left.
“Master, is… is the miss not treating the grand old master anymore?”
The steward watched with a perplexed look as Lin Caisang’s figure disappeared into the distance and asked his master.
“She has already treated him and said that he will soon wake up.”
Old Master Zhong gave a brief reply, completely disregarding the silver needles. In his heart, as long as she could cure his father, let alone a set of silver needles, he would willingly offer her a hundred sets.
“Old Yu, see to the grand old master diligently for the next few days. Don’t let anyone interfere with his daily activities, including the boiling of the medicine. Do you understand?”
He instructed the steward, Old Yu.
His ability to amass such a vast family fortune in Ye City wasn’t achieved by a fool. Despite seeming clueless during his conversation with the miss just now, of course, he wasn’t truly ignorant.
However, he did not expect his father’s unconsciousness to have other causes.
“Including Young Master You?” Old Yu asked.
“Including everyone. Do you understand?” Old Master Zhong repeated his instruction.
With a sigh in his heart: all the troubles were caused by this family fortune. Who said that it’s a good thing to have a large family estate?
If to blame someone, whether it’s Zhong Yun or Zhong You, they are all his sons. He can’t bear to blame any of them. He only hopes that one can be promising while the other can repent.
“Yes, master,” Old Yu responded.
