3540: Seeking Medical Treatment

Seeking Medical Treatment

"I came to seek medical treatment. Madam Ling refused to provide it, so I was curious how your father managed to get her consent to save his life?" The man had offered payment, but it was clear they were not interested.1

When Yu Chengde heard this, he was startled. "I'm not sure, but Madam Ling is a very caring person. If you seek medical treatment, you might want to appeal to her emotions."

From what he observed and from his understanding of people, Madam Ling valued sentiments and principles. Otherwise, she wouldn't have returned to help the Yu family after learning they were in trouble. They were fortunate to have encountered such a couple; otherwise, they would have faced annihilation.

After this happened, they could be regarded as having survived a great catastrophe. Even if someone came after the eight trigram mirror in the future, they would not target their Yu family.

Appealing to her emotions?

The man seemed to be thinking about something as he stood there motionless.

Yu Chengde looked at him, "If you're seeking medical treatment, why not ask Elder Yang? His medical skills are also exceptional."

"He can't cure it, " the man shook his head. 

"Who do you seek medical treatment for?" Yu Chengde asked another question.

The man hesitated before saying, "My fiancée. She's prematurely aging, frail, and emaciated. All the physicians say she won't survive through this year. I've seen Madam Ling's acupuncture technique. Perhaps, with this ancient medical technique, she can save my fiancée."

Yu Chengde left after he heard this. He usually didn't like to interfere, but the man's emotional tone when speaking of his fiancée made him sigh. He headed to another courtyard.

When he reached the courtyard, he noticed that the lights were still on inside. He entered and called out, "Madam Ling, you're not asleep, are you?"

Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze were talking inside. Hearing the voice outside, Feng Jiu got up and opened the door. She looked at Yu Chengde and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Madam Ling, there's a man at the back gate who says he followed you here. He claims to be seeking medical treatment for his fiancée, who is prematurely aging and won't survive the year. He's asking for your help."

Feng Jiu leaned against the door and chuckled, "Patriarch Yu is kind-hearted."

Yu Chengde laughed awkwardly, "I'm just relaying the message. What you choose to do is up to you. But I know you're a person of deep affection and principle. Otherwise, you wouldn't have returned tonight to save my family in a crisis. We will never forget your kindness."

"Alright," Feng Jiu waved her hand, "Go and bring him in."

When Yu Chengde heard this, he smiled, "Yes, " and then turned to leave.

Yu Chengde personally went outside and after giving the man a few reminders, led the surprised man towards the rear courtyard.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze came beside Feng Jiu and asked, "Are you planning to cure the disease?"

"Let's see. I'm curious about how a man would go to such lengths to seek medical treatment for his fiancée," she chuckled and took his hand, "You go to sleep first. No need to wait for me."

"No, I'll accompany you," Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, sitting down in the courtyard.

Feng Jiu smiled helplessly as she sat next to him and suggested, "Why don't we ask the kitchen to prepare some small dishes and drinks?"

"Mm, " Xuanyuan Mo Ze agreed, giving instructions to someone outside.
