"Godly Doctor, please save me!"

Thousand Treasures closed the door, turned around, and threw himself at Zhan Xiaolou's feet. His voice was sorrowful, as if he were a completely different person from his previous high-spirited appearance.

Auntie Lu covered her mouth and snickered. Previously, she said that she would chase them away like beggars. But now? He lay down at his feet, begging for help. No matter what, he should not be too full of words.

Zhan Xiaolou helped Boss Wan up. "Take a seat first and talk slowly."

Wan Baode sat down, wiped away his tears, and began her long story about how her grandmother died and how her mother died. Now it was her turn …

Zhan Xiaolou just listened quietly to what she had to say, not interrupting her from beginning to end. Auntie Lu trembled in fear. How could a rich man have such a strange occurrence? Could it be that he had done some evil to reap his retribution? Or was he cursed by his enemies?

When Wan Baode finally finished, his mouth felt parched and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he looked at Zhan Xiaolou.

Zhan Xiaolou calmly said, "Five hundred liang of silver."

"Pfft." Aunt Lu spat out a mouthful of water from her mouth and coughed a few times.

Five hundred silver taels?

Did I hear wrong?

Thousand Treasures was also stunned, and he repeated, "Five hundred taels of silver?"

Zhan Xiaolou only looked at her without speaking, implying that she hadn't misheard. It was five hundred taels of silver. Thousand Treasures looked a bit embarrassed. Isn't this a bit too much?

"Do you want your life or your money?" Zhan Xiaoluo saw her hesitation and added another sentence. According to the income of the Plethora Gem Tower, five hundred taels of silver would at most be a year's worth of profit.

If she couldn't bear to part with the money, she would have to give up her life. She didn't think that Wanbao De would refuse.

"Why is it so expensive?" Thousand Treasures still felt indignant, so he could not help but ask.

"Because there's no one else you can treat but me. If you don't believe me, you can go find another doctor." After saying that, Zhan Xiaolou actually pulled Auntie Lu to leave.

Wan Bao De panicked. He grabbed Zhan Xiaolou's arm and gritted his teeth. "I believe you."

"I need a box of medical needles. I'll treat it for you tonight." Zhan Xiaolou said.

Wan Baode immediately ordered the people in the store to go out and buy silver needles. Then, she went to bathe and change her clothes according to Zhan Xiaolou's instructions.

He had said that they would go out for a while, and would treat Wan Baode when they came back. Wan Baode was afraid that they would run away, so he called two robust women to follow him. He said that he was helping them with their belongings and protecting them, but in reality, it was just a surveillance mission.

Boss Wan arranged a carriage for them. Zhan Lou and Auntie Lu got on it. The two ladies drove the carriage towards the village where Auntie Lu's youngest son, Lu Yi, was.

On the carriage, Auntie Lu briefly explained the situation at her son's house to Lou Cheng.

Initially, Lu Yi ignored the objections of his family and was determined to marry a poor Elementary Scholar from the neighboring village. This poor Elementary Scholar was famous for his loose ways and had a bad temper. Aunt Lu knew that Lu Yi would definitely not agree to the marriage.

As for Lu Yi, he did not know what kind of bewitching medicine this poor Elementary Scholar had poured into her, but he felt that she would have some great accomplishments in the future and that her poverty would be temporary.

You actually secretly eloped with her …

Auntie Lu sighed many times as she spoke.

"Lou, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. My son is too stubborn, and now that his eldest son is three years old and has just given birth to a child, his whole life is over. His wife doesn't like to go home, so she looks for trouble outside. Sometimes I would even hit him. I don't know if he regrets it now, but as a mother, my heart is about to break. "
