Chapter 42 Don't Speak Your Mind
Fang Qingyou wanted to discuss the black-clad man's condition with the middle-aged man, so she said to Lüye, "Lüye, please excuse me for a moment. I need to talk to him about the patient's condition."
Keeping a patient's condition confidential is the least one can do to respect them, especially since Zhujianlou seems to want people to know about the black-clad handsome man's illness.
"I'll stay outside and won't go far." Green Field was unwilling to leave. He had no good feelings towards the people of Bamboo Pavilion and did not want to leave Fang Qingyou alone. It wasn't until he was stared at by her unyielding gaze for a while that he reluctantly left the room.
"Young Master Fang, hello. I am the manager of Zhujianlou. My surname is Dong." After Lüye left, the middle-aged man took the initiative to introduce himself, still speaking politely.
"So it's Manager Dong." Fang Qingyou returned Manager Dong's greeting with a bow, thinking to herself how fortunate she was to have been so farsighted as to have repeatedly instructed Lüye not to reveal her true identity to strangers when she was dressed as a man.
Fang Qingyou felt relieved, but little did she know that Manager Dong had long known her identity, but had been pretending not to know.
"Manager Dong, was that man in black last night the patient? I wonder how he is doing now?" Fang Qingyou almost said "handsome man in black," but quickly corrected herself.
Manager Dong nodded: "Thanks to Young Master Fang's miraculous healing skills, he is now out of danger."
"Huh?" Fang Qingyou was a little incredulous. She was quite certain that before she lost consciousness, the handsome man in black was definitely not in such good condition as "nothing serious".
Although she couldn't be sure of the handsome man in black's illness, she was certain that his condition wouldn't improve unless someone treated him.
Therefore, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but ask, "Manager Dong, after me yesterday, did anyone else treat him?"
"No." Manager Dong shook his head: "From beginning to end, only Young Master Fang treated that young master, which is why I say your medical skills are superb."
Fang Qingyou was stunned. She knew very well what she had done to the handsome man in black. She did want to treat him, but no matter how many times she tried to apply acupuncture, he would pull the needles out...
Such "treatment" would likely have a negligible effect on his illness.
Just as Fang Qingyou was puzzled, Manager Dong said again, "Young Master Fang, that young master asked me to thank you on his behalf for curing him. He also said that his promise is valid and you can go to his treasury at any time to collect the consultation fee for this house call."
Fang Qingyou: "..."
She clearly didn't do any effective treatment, so why did that handsome man in black claim that he cured her? Now he's even eagerly offering her a consultation fee. Does he have too much money and want her to help him spend it?
If Manager Dong continued talking, Fang Qingyou would start to wonder if she had lost her memory and forgotten the time she cured the handsome man in black.
However, Fang Qingyou also noticed that Manager Dong seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words: "Manager Dong, about this house call..."
"This house call" made Fang Qingyou feel as if there would be another treatment.
Sure enough, Manager Dong explained, "Miss Fang, to be honest, that young master's illness is quite chronic, and it flares up once a month. He's managed to get through this month, but we'll have to trouble him again next month."
Fang Qingyou: "..."
Why is it like a woman's period, only once a month?
In fact, Fang Qingyou's approach to treating patients has always been to see them through to the end, as long as the patient is willing.
However, the handsome man in black was really terrifying when he had an attack. She was lucky to escape unharmed this time, but who knows what will happen next time?
Furthermore, she hasn't diagnosed his illness yet, and doesn't know if she can cure him. She's always worried that it might delay his treatment.
Yes, Fang Qingyou did not want to treat the handsome man in black.
But at the same time, she desperately wanted to cure him, because she had never encountered such a disease before, nor had she ever seen such a case in any medical book...
The new illness was like an unknown new continent to her, filling her with curiosity and a desire to conquer it.
Seeing that Fang Qingyou remained silent, Manager Dong added, "Young Master Fang, I wonder if you're considering the consultation fee? Don't worry, you'll receive a consultation fee for every treatment you receive."
Fang Qingyou: "..."
Knowing full well that she couldn't resist the temptation of the consultation fee, he still used it to lure her. She realized that Manager Dong was doing it on purpose.
Seeing that Fang Qingyou still didn't speak, Manager Dong continued, "Young Master Fang, you can choose your consultation fee now, but don't you want to go to the treasury first?"
Fang Qingyou tried to restrain herself, but images of gold and silver jewelry, famous swords and treasures, precious medicinal herbs, calligraphy and paintings and ancient books kept surfacing in her mind, causing the desires in her heart to finally erupt.
"Then I'll go take a look." Fang Qingyou said this through gritted teeth. She didn't want to go, but she was also extremely excited.
Manager Dong smiled and said, "Young Master Fang, please."
When Fang Qingyou arrived at the treasure vault, she felt her eyes were practically glowing green. The sight of all sorts of treasures piled together was truly breathtaking.
Like Fang Qingyou, Lü Ye's eyes lit up, and his mouth remained agape in shock.
Fang Qingyou immediately rushed to the precious medicinal herbs, feeling an urge to possess them all.
She thought she had seen many good medicinal herbs, but she had never seen any of such high quality. Gudah was free from industrial pollution, and the naturally grown herbs had exceptionally pure aromas and medicinal properties.
However, Fang Qingyou eventually restrained herself. She wanted good things, but she also knew when to stop.
In the end, Fang Qingyou chose only one top-grade orchid, which was an excellent medicine for bone injuries and was perfect for treating Fang Runting's leg injury.
Back then, she searched every pharmacy in Nanguan County but couldn't find any orchid fragrance of this quality.
Green Field carried out a huge pile of weapons, so heavy that he could barely stand and had to walk out with his back bent.
Seeing this, Fang Qingyou's lips twitched: "Green Field, from these things, I'll choose a sword, and you choose your favorite weapon. Put the rest back."
"Why?!" Green Field screamed with a pained expression, "Didn't you say we could choose whatever we liked?"
Fang Qingyou coughed twice. Green Field was too honest. Even if he thought that way, he shouldn't say it out loud, especially in front of Manager Dong.
"Green Field!" Fang Qingyou pretended to be angry and looked at Green Field, but secretly mouthed to him, "Next time, take it next time."
While Fang Qingyou wasn't paying attention, Manager Dong's eye twitched violently.
