Chapter 285: Jiajia Causing Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Opposite the door of the Fortune Inn, three sneaky people looked at the guards at the door of the inn and were troubled.

“There are people guarding this place. How are we going to get in?” Qian Youde muttered.

Shen Yijia also puffed up her cheeks. If it were anyone else, she would have beaten them up. However, these people could not be beaten up casually. It could land them in trouble.

The corners of Mo Yuan’s mouth twitched. “I heard that an adult is sick inside. He’s sending people everywhere to look for a doctor.”

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. “You mean…”

Fifteen minutes later, an old man with a white beard appeared at the entrance of Fortune Inn with two assistants.

One of the two medicine boys carried a medicine box, while the other raised his hand with the words “Rejuvenation” written on it.

She was dressed like a charlatan.

The soldiers guarding the door looked at each other and stopped them with a frown. “Who are you?”

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes in her heart and thought to herself, “Are you blind? Can’t you see that I’m a doctor who’s here to treat illnesses?”

However, she stroked her beard with an unfathomable expression and said with a suppressed voice, “I’m the father-in-law of the nephew of Daoist Yuanmo’s distant uncle’s nephew.”

Shen Yijia paused and took a deep breath before continuing, “Doctor Jia.”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment. He thought about the convoluted relationship Doctor Jia just described.

After thinking for a long time, their minds were in a knot. A cold wind blew over, and it took them a moment to realize that they didn’t need to be thinking about this.

Realizing that he had been tricked, one of the guards pulled out the long saber at his waist and said angrily, “If you don’t want to die, get lost quickly.”

“Sigh, it’s not good for young people to be too impatient. Didn’t I already explain myself?”

“I’m Doctor Jia. I heard that an adult is sick here, so I specially came to treat him and save him.” As Shen Yijia spoke, she stroked her beard again and stood rooted to the ground. She was not frightened by the soldiers at all.

Behind him, Qian Youde suppressed his laughter until his shoulders trembled. He suspected that this woman could not continue making up stories. Otherwise, she would definitely be able to make up a longer name.

In order to prevent anyone from seeing him, he even covered his face with his hands.

Then, the soldier saw the cover tremble. Shen Yijia stepped on Qian Youde angrily, and he restrained himself slightly.

Shen Yijia shook her head and said seriously, “My medicine boy has suffered from a strange illness since he was young. He can’t help but tremble when he’s agitated. He was frightened by the auras of the two officials. Please don’t blame him.”

Qian Youde was speechless.

The two of them felt a little better when they heard him say that. They looked at each other and were about to go in to ask for instructions when Shopkeeper Hu came out. “Oh my, Doctor, you’re finally here. Please come in. The matter of Lord Zhou’s health can’t be delayed.”

The last sentence was clearly meant for the two soldiers.

As expected, the two of them did not stop them this time.

Shopkeeper Hu led her upstairs, still thinking that Young Master Shen was very efficient. The doctor had already arrived before the people he had sent returned.

However, he did not know that the waiter, who had been instructed to go out, had seen him from afar.

Behind him were Thirty Thousand and a doctor carrying a medicine box.

The waiter was stunned.

Thirty Thousand recognized the old doctor at a glance. After a moment of silence, he said dryly, “I’ll go back and ask Young Master first.”

If he brought people over to disrupt Young Madam’s plans, Young Madam would be unhappy.

If Young Madam was unhappy, his master would probably not let him off.

He did not want to starve for a few more days.

Song Jingchen was still writing a letter in the study. After hearing Thirty Thousand’s report, he held his forehead helplessly. “Forget it, she knows her limits. Let her be.”

He wondered why that girl was so impatient when she asked him to leave just now. He thought that it was his imagination.

Shen Yijia, who knew her limits, had just finished checking Lord Zhou’s pulse and was instructing Qian Youde to boil a large bucket of hot water.

Seeing that she wanted hot water without prescribing a prescription, Zhou Qing frowned and asked suspiciously, “Do you know how to treat illnesses? Don’t tell me you’re a liar?”

Shen Yijia frowned. “How can you spout nonsense? Why don’t you go out and ask around?”

“In our village, there’s no animal that I, Doctor Jia, can’t treat.”

“You-” Zhou Qing’s eyes turned red. So this was a veterinarian. His master was a person of such a high status, how dare he do this.

Eunuch Li could not stand it anymore. Lord Zhou’s condition was indeed not good.

Afraid that he would really die if he delayed any longer, he coughed dryly and deliberated before saying, “Doctor Jia, are you mistaken? Lord Zhou is not one of those animals you’ve treated.”

Moreover, why did Doctor Jia look familiar? However, he could not remember where he had seen him before.

“It’s all the same.” Shen Yijia waved her hand indifferently. After saying that, she seemed to feel that she had said something wrong.

Before Zhou Qing could chase him away, she explained, “What I mean is that these illnesses are all connected. Think about it, if an animal can catch a cold, so can Lord Zhou.”

She continued, “Why wouldn’t I be able to treat Lord Zhou with similar methods?”

Eunuch Li frowned and pondered for a moment. He did not understand what the connection was. Instead, his mind was in a mess, and only the words “Lord Zhou” and “animal” were left in his mind.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Shen Yijia said impatiently, “Then are you going to let me treat him or not? Let me tell you, Xunyang City lacks medicinal herbs to begin with.”

“Your lord’s condition is still so serious. Once I leave, it won’t be easy for you to find a doctor to treat him.”

“Well…” Eunuch Li pretended to look at Zhou Qing.

Lord Zhou usually looked down on him, a eunuch. This Zhou Qing also did not seem to respect him much. It was better for him to make such a life-threatening decision himself.

Zhou Qing thought of the cold reception he had been given when he first entered the city in the morning. He gritted his teeth and said, “Yes.”

“That’s enough. We shouldn’t delay things.” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes angrily and glanced at Qian Youde, indicating for him to get hot water.

After they left, she stroked her beard and instructed, “Prepare a brush, inkstone, and paper. I’ll give you a prescription to ensure that the illness is cured.”

Although Zhou Qing was unwilling, he still took out a set of brushes and ink and placed them on the table. He glanced at Shen Yijia warningly.

Shen Yijia said, “Why are you looking at me? You can write it.”

Zhou Qing asked, “Are you the doctor or am I the doctor?”

Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows. If not for the fact that she was afraid that they would not recognize her handwriting, she would have written it herself.

Regardless of whether Zhou Qing was going to write or not, she began to shake her head and start with her prescription. “A cockroach, a pot of urine from a child, cow dung… Forget it, you might not be able to find it in a short time.”

“I see that there are many horses in that backyard. It’s fine to change them to horse dung, but they have to be fresh. How about one hundred grams…”

“Nonsense.” Zhou Qing was so angry that he threw away his brush and glared at Shen Yijia. “I think you’re a liar. Guards!”
