Chapter 379: What Kind of Family Is This?
Her leg, which had been injured for ten years and had always relied on a wheelchair, now had hope of recovery.
Jiang Yi, forgetting his manners, laughed loudly and said, “We should really thank the Princess Consort for this. Unfortunately, she can’t hear this with the ear that she lost…”
“What ear?”
“Oh, the Prince of Yu cut off one of the Princess Consort’s ears.”
Yu Shengshou shuddered when he heard this.
What kind of family is this?
One wanted the Crown Prince to die, and the other cut off the ear of the Crown Princess.
It’s terrifying.
Yu Shengshou, trembling, quietly carried his medicine box and tried to leave without making a sound, fearing that they would realize he had heard and want to silence him.
Unfortunately, his huge body was still discovered.
“Hey, Yu Shengshou, wait a moment.” Jiang Yi hurriedly pulled his sleeve, “Don’t be in a hurry to leave.”
Yu Shengshou said, “The humble one didn’t hear anything!”
“…” Jiang Yi smiled and took off his purse, stuffed it directly into Yu’s arms, “This is not much, just for this consultation. When my Seventh Sister’s leg is completely healed, I will definitely offer a generous reward! A hefty reward!” Yu Shengshou held the money bag, feeling its weight.
He wondered how many copper coins were inside it. It was so heavy, there had to be at least three or four ounces of silver, right?
“Thank you, young master, thank you.”
Yu Shengshou, for the first time accepting such a consultation fee, endlessly expressed his gratitude.
Jiang Yi personally escorted him out, “We should be the ones thanking you. If you can cure my sister’s leg, you’ll be the great benefactor of the Prime Minister’s Mansion!”
Yu Shengshou repeatedly showed humility.
After leaving the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he opened the money bag Jiang Yi had given him.
The money bag was very gorgeous and exquisite.
Just the bag alone, if pawned, could be exchanged for quite a bit of money.
However, what shocked Yu Shengshou even more was yet to come.
Upon opening the bag, he found that there were no copper coins inside at all.
It was filled with silver!
In addition to large and small pieces of broken silver, there were also several intact silver ingots, and even two small gold lumps!
The half-filled bag of gold and silver almost blinded Yu Shengshou’s eyes!
In his life, he had never seen so much money.
He usually went around as a doctor among the poor, receiving a handful of copper coins at best for his services, jingling loudly in his pockets.
No wonder those doctors were willing to treat the rich and powerful.
They were so generous.
Did the young master from the Prime Minister’s Mansion just now say that he didn’t bring much with him?
Did he call this “not much?”
And he even said that he would offer “heavy gold” as a reward on the day of curing the illness!
Heavy gold!
Are we talking about hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver?
Yu Shengshou was somewhat excited.
He was not a particularly greedy man, but having some money on hand always made people happy. It could not only improve the lives of his wife and children, but also help more poor people who couldn’t afford to see a doctor.
If he could really get thousands of taels of silver, his wish of owning a pharmacy could be fulfilled.
Thinking about this, Yu Shengshou’s footsteps seemed to lighten up a few degrees.
As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he was targeted by two local ruffians. “Yo, old man, this money purse looks good. There’s a lot of money inside, isn’t there?”
“Huh?” Yu Shengshou was a bit slow to react.
“Didn’t you hear my older brother talking? Hand it over now!” The other ruffian reached out and grabbed the purse, pushing Yu Shengshou as he did so. Yu Shengshou got anxious: “How can you rob someone like this? Give it back!” The ruffian showed a fierce expression, raising his foot to kick Yu Shengshou, “My big brother wants your stuff, you should be grateful! You ungrateful old thing!”
“Stop!”
A loud shout came.
