Chapter 161: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 161: Trouble Knocks on the Door (4)
Although the ghost physician was the exclusive physician of the prince and mainly treated the prince, Xiao Ruiyuan was also someone he cared about. If Xiao Ruiyuan was in trouble, he would certainly not stand idly by. Learning that Xiao Ruiyuan was seriously injured, he had taken the initiative to come.
"Well, that's good, that's good." Mo Yan completely relaxed and continued to bathe Xiao Hua.
Seeing Mo Yan had no intention of talking to him, the ghost physician became somewhat impatient. He was not the type to beat around the bush, so he directly asked his inner doubts, "Young miss, what did you use to clean that lad's wounds?"
Mo Yan paused, feeling cautious inside. "Just plain water. Is there anything else that can clean wounds?" she asked, pretending to panic. "Could it be that we've made things worse by washing them?"
The ghost physician couldn't see through Mo Yan's disguise. Seeing her getting anxious almost to the point of tears, he suppressed his disappointment and comforted her, "It's all right, it's all right. The wounds were cleaned very well. We should thank you for saving me a lot of trouble."
Mo Yan wiped away her tears and waved her hand repeatedly. "You're too kind. As long as we didn't cause trouble for you."
The ghost physician smiled. Seeing Xiao Hua obediently letting her manipulate it, he asked with interest, "Young miss, how did you tame this little wolf cub? It used to be ferocious and wouldn't let people approach easily."
Originally, he wanted to see if wolf blood had any medicinal uses, so he wanted to get some blood from this cub. Who knew this guy looked just like a dog, but was very ferocious? Instead of getting any wolf blood, he ended up biting several guards.
After that, every time they met, this guy insisted on tearing his clothes before he would relent. Even when he was later appeased with good things, he would still turn his back on him, holding a grudge!
Mo Yan naturally wouldn't tell him the real reason and just smiled and said, "This guy is easy to coax. Just give it some good food."
But the ghost physician didn't believe it. There was plenty of good food at the Wu'an Mansion, and Yan Kid had raised this guy, but he had never seen it so docile. Since the little girl didn't say anything, he had no way of knowing.
After chatting for a few more words, the guards brought the brewed medicine over, and the ghost physician went in to check on Xiao Ruiyuan.
Mo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the doctor wasn't very astute. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to handle it. It seemed that in the future, she shouldn't easily use the Spirit Spring Water on people, lest it be noticed.
After the guards fed Xiao Ruiyuan a bowl of medicine, the ghost physician instructed a few guards to prepare things, intending to take Xiao Ruiyuan back to the city.
Mo Yan was very puzzled. Xiao Ruiyuan hadn't passed the danger yet, so it wasn't suitable for him to move at this time. However, she wasn't a doctor. Since these people came to save Xiao Ruiyuan, they wouldn't harm him. Thinking of this, she didn't say anything.
Xiao Ruiyuan couldn't ride a horse or sit in a carriage, so these people planned to carry him back to the city. Fortunately, they had come prepared and brought a stretcher.
Before leaving, the leader of the guards left a stack of silver notes, thanking Mo Yan and her father for saving Lord Xiao. The father and daughter declined, but they accepted in the end.
After sending away these people, Mo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. People are selfish. If saving Xiao Ruiyuan would bring trouble to her family, she might really have refused to help.
Some people in the capital learned that Xiao Ruiyuan had unexpectedly returned alive, and they ground their teeth in anger. They immediately sent someone to investigate what had happened. However, Yan Junyu had already erased the traces of the ghost physician and the others leaving the city, so they didn't know that Xiao Ruiyuan had been saved in Liuyang Village, let alone that it was the Mo family who had saved him.
...
That night, at the Prince's Mansion.
