203 Explanation
“What’s more, I have to cover my face with a veil to block the wind and sand when I ride the horse. I’ve only met them once, so they won’t recognize me. At most, they’ll think that they’ve met someone who’s on the same side by chance.”
Seeing that Yue Jiaojiao still wanted to say something, Zhao Zhan cut her off, “Jiaojiao, they obviously have ill intentions. I can’t be at ease until I get to the bottom of this matter. Let me do this on my own, okay?”
“Even if they leave, they’ll only leave tomorrow. Let me think about it first. ” Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t reject him directly, so she used the delay tactic.
Doctor Sun held his acupuncture skills in high regard. Perhaps after one night, she would regain her memory the next day when she opened her eyes. By then, he would not have to go through so much trouble, regardless of whether it was in Bei City or Yang City.
Zhao Zhan didn’t say anything more. He packed up his things and brought Yue Jiaojiao back to the Heart Hall.
“You’re back?”
Sun Jiyan stood guard in front of the courtyard that had been allocated to the two of them. When he saw the two of them return, he walked over and wanted to help take the bags from Zhao Zhan’s hands.
“Thank you for the help.” Zhao Zhan said politely as he turned his body to the side. “These bags are a little heavy. I’ll do it.”
Sun Jiyan had been studying medicine since he was young and had been in the Heart Hall for many years. He could clearly feel the slight displeasure in Zhao Zhan’s attitude. He paused for a moment and then retracted his hand as if nothing had happened. “In that case, I won’t cause you any trouble.”
“We’re the ones who’re causing trouble for you.” Although Zhao Zhan was a little jealous of this man, he would not show it on his face. “Why are you here now? Were you waiting?” he asked.
After all, the consultation outside should not have ended yet.
As Zhao Zhan spoke, he had already pushed open the door to the courtyard to let Sun Jiyan in first. After all, they were now in the Heart Hall and it was not good to let Sun Jiyan stand outside the door and talk.
“It’s not a big deal. I just came to see if there’s anything missing in this room. If there is, feel free to tell me. I’ll get the assistant to get it for you.” Sun Jiyan sat on the bamboo bench in the courtyard and did not look around. He said humbly, “After all, it has been many years since Jiaojiao last came to stay here. Although there have been bell boys cleaning the place for so many years, people are always negligent. If there’s anything you need, Zhao Zhan, please let me know. I will see to it immediately.”
Yue Jiaojiao greeted Sun Jiyan and went into the room. She did not chat with Sun Jiyan outside.
After all, she was not as familiar with Sun Jiyan.
“Thank you for your concern. I won’t be needing anything for the time being. Do you think you can bring us to Doctor Sun?”
“My master? Sure, come with me.”
Sun Jiyan led Zhao Zhan to Doctor Sun and went to the front hall.
“Doctor Sun,” Zhao Zhan cupped his hands and bowed, “I have a request.”
“If you have something to say, say it. I do not enjoy superficial conversations. You are a hunter, how can you be affected by Jiaojiao’s attitude?”
Doctor Sun didn’t even raise his head as he unhappily rebuked Zhao Zhan. His hands never stopped fiddling with the medicinal ingredients.
“I’d like to ask if you could take care of Jiaojiao for me,” Zhao Zhan said humbly. “I’d like to make a trip to Yang City tomorrow. I won’t be by her side for a few days, so I’d have to trouble you. If Jiaojiao is in any trouble, I would be grateful if you could help her. “
