735: Chapter 735: Five Hundred Taels at a Time (2)_1 735: Chapter 735: Five Hundred Taels at a Time (2)_1 Yang Ruxinâs lips twitched, as she wanted to tell him there was no need to be so serious, but before she could speak, Dong Hang rushed in.
âDivine Doctor, my son-in-law has woken upâŠâ
Yang Ruxin put down her teacup and stood up.
âThen letâs go take a look.â
Clearly, Yang Baiyue had freshened up.
He had changed into a light blue long robe.
He was naturally handsome, and even though he had gotten a bit thinner after the recent ordeal, it didnât affect his dashing looks.
Plus, having studied, holding the title of Scholar added a touch of scholarly elegance to him.
Yang Ruxin couldnât help but nod.
If she didnât know him, she would have been fooled by his appearance as well.
âDivine Doctor,â Yang Baiyue said with a cheerful expression, clasping his fists in greeting toward Yang Ruxin.
âYou truly live up to your reputationâŠâ
âDonât be in such a hurry to be pleased, Mr.
Mo,â Yang Ruxin raised her hand to interrupt him.
âYouâve been poisoned with the rarest poison in the world.
One acupuncture session is simply not enough to eradicate itâŠâ
Xiaolun, perched on Yang Ruxinâs wrist, proudly shook its head.
Of course, its poison was the rarestâit was rare itself, after all.
Yang Baiyueâs face stiffened.
âYou meanâŠâ
âTo completely eliminate such poison would take about ten or eight treatments,â Yang Ruxin said with a smile.
âYouâll need to undergo acupuncture once a month, otherwise, the toxins wonât be fully purgedâŠâ
Yang Baiyue frowned.
âI am the apprentice of Dao Xuzi, and I generally donât provide medical treatment to others, but since Iâve taken your case, I wonât back out.
Todayâs treatment will be complimentary.
From the next session on, the fee will be five hundred silver per consultationâŠâ Yang Ruxin spread her palm and waved it, âuntil youâre fully healed.
Iâll provide home servicesâŠâ
Yang Baiyue almost jumped up and cursed.
Five hundred silver?
That was practically robbery.
But before he could say anything, Yang Ruxin already continued.
âOf course, if you find it expensive you can choose not to receive treatment.
But donât say I didnât warn youâif you stop the treatment, the symptoms will recur in two months.
And by thenâŠ
you would have to find someone more skilled, as not even fifty thousand silver would bring me back.
I wouldnât want to tarnish my masterâs reputation.â
Yang Baiyue felt a tight, painful sensation in his chest.
But Yang Ruxin couldnât care less about his constipated look of discomfort and simply excused herself and turned to leave.
âWait.â Yang Baiyue quickly looked up.
âAbout the five hundred silverâŠâ
âI know five hundred silver isnât much.
If Mr.
Mo wants to give me a tip, Iâll accept,â Yang Ruxin didnât wait for him to speak, stopping to look back at him.
âAfter all, my master said wherever he went, he was welcomed with open arms, and the gifts he received were always worth more than the treatment costâŠâ
Yang Baiyueâs lips twitched.
âThatâŠ
Iâll think about itâŠâ
Yang Ruxin slightly nodded her head and then exited the room.
âDo you think heâll agree?
Isnât that a bit too high?â Gu Yao actually felt a bit sorry for the son-in-law; five hundred silver a session, thatâs fast money.
So, he couldnât help but whisper the question.
âIâve actually given him a discount considering heâs a fellow townsman,â Yang Ruxin scoffed.
âOtherwise, I would have asked for a thousand silverâŠâ
Gu Yaoâs lips twitched.
âHeâs afraid of dying, heâll definitely agree,â Yang Ruxin turned her head to glance at Gu Yao.
âDonât believe me?
Want to betâŠâ
Before Gu Yao could nod, Yang Baiyueâs voice came from behind.
âDivine DoctorâŠâ But if one listened closely, they would realize that these words were actually clenched between his back teeth.
