The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 396: Not Even for Ten Thousand Taels of Gold

The young master walked around the shop a few times, seeing that Yun Jiao was still attending to patients, he sat quietly in a row of chairs by the wall and waited.

It was almost noon, the weather was hot, and outside the sun was blistering. There weren’t many patients in the shop, and Yun Jiao finished examining the three patients waiting before she looked towards the young master.

The young master stepped forward and clasped his hands at Yun Jiao, "My surname is Yan, full name Yan Zhang. I am here today with a request that might be difficult for you to accept."

Yun Jiao nodded towards him, "Please, go ahead."

Yan Zhang sat down on a chair and spoke slowly, "My mother suffers from asthma. When it flares up, she can only sit and cannot lie down, sometimes having to sit up half the night before it calms down."

"In the past couple of years, the attacks have become more frequent. Although she has taken a lot of medication, they have little effect."

"As her son, I cannot bear to see my mother suffer. I have heard of Doctor Gu’s exceptional medical skills and would like to ask her to accompany me to treat my mother."

Yun Jiao had heard from Lin Shuo yesterday that this person was from Jin Country, so she guessed his mother was likely in Jin Country as well.

She thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Yan, I only make house calls within Xiang City. Is your esteemed mother currently in Xiang City?"

Young Master Yan shook his head, "My mother is still at home, a thousand miles away from Xiang City."

The thousand miles was an understatement, to avoid scaring Doctor Gu; in truth, it was at least five thousand miles away.

At this time Lin Shuo came over, lightly saying, "A thousand miles? May I ask where your family is located?"

Young Master Yan hesitated for a moment, "Home is in Huining."

Lin Shuo chuckled lightly, "Young Master Yan, Huining is not just a thousand miles from Xiang City — it’s over five thousand miles away."

Yun Jiao immediately shook her head as if it were a rattle drum, "I’m sorry, I can’t go to such a faraway place."

Traveling with such a stranger to such a distant place, has she gone mad?

Young Master Yan furrowed his brow and held up a finger, "I’m willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold for Doctor Gu to make this trip."

Yet Yun Jiao still shook her head. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Young Master Yan’s face darkened slightly, "Doctor Gu, if you feel that ten thousand taels of gold is insufficient, I can offer more. If you have any other demands, I can also meet them, as long as you can cure my mother."

Yesterday, two of his guards went around inquiring, confirming that Doctor Gu’s medical skills were indeed extraordinary, curing many ailments where other doctors could do nothing.

Even the blindness of Prince Kang’s concubine mother was cured by her.

Truly deserving of the title of divine healer.

Moreover, Young Master Yan thought secretly, she never said asthma couldn’t be cured, only that she couldn’t go to Huining, which implies that she can treat this illness!

Yun Jiao still shook her head, "Young Master Yan, even if I go, I may not be able to cure your esteemed mother."

"In fact, there are many capable doctors in various places, and it doesn’t have to be me to treat your mother’s illness."

Young Master Yan narrowed his eyes and said with displeasure, "Doctor Gu, isn’t your purpose for opening a clinic to make money? Why do you not want the ten thousand taels of gold placed before you?"

Yun Jiao, sensing the forcefulness in his tone, wasn’t pleased either, yet she explained, "Huining is too far, and conditions along the way are complicated. A round trip may take half a year or a year."

"I cannot afford to waste so much time."

"If there’s a chance for your mother to come over, I can certainly take a look at her."

Young Master Yan said coldly, "If my mother could come, I wouldn’t need to implore you here."

Lin Shuo said lightly, "Young Master Yan, Doctor Gu has the right not to go. Why must you force her?"

Young Master Yan snorted coldly, stared at Yun Jiao for a moment, then abruptly got up, swung his robe, and strode out.
