Yun Yueyin abruptly stood up, "What did you say?"
"Madam, that woman has already arrived at the manor." Hong Ling felt that her mistress seemed a bit too shocked.
At this moment, shouldn't it be the young master who was shocked? After all, he had ordered a large-scale search for days, and now that the person had finally arrived.
And that Zhang Quan, who had been working on this matter for the past few days, must be tired now. He would surely be very happy to receive the news.
"Go, go and see the woman's appearance. Come back and tell me after you've seen her!" Yun Yueyin's voice was urgent and anxious.
She didn't even notice that at this moment, she had lost the composure she had when dealing with Lin Qingluo.
At this moment, a cold sweat had broken out on her forehead, whether from the heat or nervousness, and her face was a little pale.
This greatly startled Hong Ling, who was a little dazed, but she quickly regained her senses and nodded repeatedly, "Alright! Your servant will go immediately!"
As she walked out, she muttered to herself, what was wrong with her mistress?
Why did it seem like she knew that woman?
And it wasn't just that she seemed to know her, she even seemed a little scared?
Ever since she started following her mistress, she had never seen her mistress afraid of anyone.
No, she had never been very smart, she must have seen it wrong. Her mistress couldn't possibly be afraid of someone she had never met.
After Hong Ling left, Yun Yueyin drank a lot of water in one go, barely managing to suppress her fear.
She was Mo Zhenzhen now, not Yun Yueyin! She had an identity that no one could uncover. Even if she met Yun Shu, there was no need to panic!
And, and...
That woman might not be Yun Shu!
There were so many people who knew medicine, how could a woman who knew medicine be Yun Shu? xxs1
Yun Yueyin's breathing immediately became much smoother. She sighed softly, "I never thought that even in the distant Kingdom of Xixia, I still couldn't escape the name Yun Shu. When the name Yun Shu is no longer my inner demon, perhaps there will be nothing in this world that can make me afraid."
In the past, she had underestimated her enemy and hadn't thought things through completely. In the end, she lost Zhan Ming and lost everything. Now, she had to hold onto everything tightly.
And control everything.
Zhen Xu loved her so much that he couldn't live without her. He was completely different from Zhan Ming. She would absolutely not make the same mistake again that she made with Zhan Ming!
She had to make Zhen Xu the young master, the Prince of Pingyang!
A moment later, Hong Ling returned, "Your servant did not see the person. I discreetly asked someone I met, and they said the woman had an average appearance, not as beautiful as Madam, nor as beautiful as Princess Ningde. She came alone."
"Average appearance?" Yun Yueyin felt her heart relax a little.
However, a face could be fake.
"Yes, and she has already been taken to see the young master, so your servant did not see her. To avoid unnecessary speculation, your servant did not inquire at the young master's residence. However, I heard from the people in the manor that the woman's medical skills are extraordinary. I've never heard of such a skilled female doctor in the capital before?" Hong Ling looked puzzled.
Yun Yueyin pursed her lips, "Alright, I understand."
"If she is as skilled as they say, she should be able to cure the young master this time." Hong Ling frowned as she spoke, the young master being cured would not be a good thing for the second young master.
Perhaps this was why Madam cared so much about that woman?
...
On the other side, all the servants in the entire Prince of Pingyang's manor were discussing this matter.
When the servant first rushed to Zhen Lin to report that the person had arrived, Zhen Lin didn't believe it at first. It took him a while to believe it.
After recovering from his shock, he immediately ordered someone to quickly invite the person in.
Therefore, when Yun Shu appeared before Zhen Lin, Zhen Lin felt as if he were in a dream.
Before, he had been told that there was no news, so he had prepared himself mentally, thinking that he might not be able to invite her. He hadn't expected her to actually come!
And the woman standing before him possessed a calming aura. Her expression was extremely serene.
This was the third time Yun Shu had met Zhen Lin, so she was not unfamiliar with him. After stepping into the Prince of Pingyang's manor, she had already made all preparations.
Naturally, she had also heard about the matters concerning Zhen Lin and Lin Qingluo over the past two days.
No wonder Lin Qingluo had said at Yue Ran Teahouse that it would take another fifteen days to perform acupuncture. It turned out she had lied, impersonated, and claimed the merit of saving Zhen Lin that night for wealth and status in the Prince of Pingyang's manor.
Now that her lie had been exposed, she had been refused entry by Zhen Lin.
Before coming, Qiu Lu had investigated almost everything about the Prince of Pingyang's manor.
"How should I address the divine doctor?" Zhen Lin spoke with some nervousness. He rarely felt nervous around people anymore.
He never expected to feel so nervous that he couldn't speak properly upon meeting a woman.
Yun Shu smiled faintly, "Young Master, you don't need to call me a divine doctor. My name is Ning Ruan. You can call me by my name."
"Alright, Miss Ning, I'll trouble you with everything! You don't need to worry about money. Since I've made a promise, naturally the terms are yours to dictate." Zhen Lin silently repeated the name Ning Ruan. So, her name was Ning Ruan.
Although Yun Shu was not short of money, since she was going to do this, and the Prince of Pingyang's manor had a lot of silver, she naturally wanted to charge a generous fee.
She said softly, "Fifty thousand taels. I can completely detoxify the young master within a month, and you won't need to take various medicines anymore."
She said these words not out of arrogance.
It was just that the poison on Zhen Lin's body was not difficult for her.
Yun Shu was calm and composed, as if she were simply talking about treating a common cold.
However, for Zhen Lin, it was incredibly shocking.
He couldn't hide his emotions, and they showed on his face. He only reacted belatedly, then steadied his mind, suppressing the surge of emotion caused by her words, "A month?"
"Yes, conservatively a month. Does the time seem too long? If you can give me a hundred thousand taels, I can shorten it by ten days." Yun Shu raised an eyebrow.
To shorten the time, she would have to frequently change the prescription, which was somewhat troublesome.
She disliked trouble the most, but if the money was enough, it was negotiable.
Zhen Lin's current state could not be described as merely shocked. He looked at Yun Shu in disbelief, "Can twenty days really do it?"
He had been poisoned since childhood and knew very well that someone didn't want him to live too long. If it weren't for Ningde constantly searching for divine doctors to keep him alive, he would have died long ago.
After so many years of suffering, now someone was casually saying to him in front of his face that a month, or twenty days, could free him from all this pain. For a moment, he felt like he was dreaming.
Fortunately, the woman before him had bright eyes and white teeth, and her faint smile held a kind of magical power, a power that inspired trust.
