The day my grandmother was pushed and became a vegetative state, the system found me, saying that if I successfully captured the nanny’s daughter, I could save my grandmother.
For this hope...
Thinking of her children, Mrs. Shen's voice choked with emotion.
She practically begged all the elders present to invite the renowned doctor in the name of the Shen family.
Seeing Mrs. Shen's genuine emotions, the elders present seemed to be touched in some way.
They shared the same feelings as Mrs. Shen, fearing the untimely death of their children and grandchildren.
"Don't say that, we'll invite you," said a lady of high status in the Shen family.
Someone stepped forward and spoke up.
Following that, others also expressed their opinions.
"I also think it's worth a try."
“I agree. It’s just hiring a miracle doctor, right? Our Shen family is large and wealthy. We can afford to hire an unknown miracle doctor.”
"It won't do for the old man to keep going like this without eating or sleeping. Let's invite the miracle doctor over; maybe that will put his mind at ease."
The members of the Shen family all chimed in with their opinions, and eventually everyone agreed.
If they could invite the renowned doctor to treat Shen Bingyan, regardless of whether the doctor could cure her, it would ultimately be a demonstration of their shared filial piety.
It's better than everyone sitting here doing nothing.
Soon, the person with the highest status in the living room wrote an invitation, inviting the divine doctor to visit the Shen family.
-
On the other side, at the hospital.
After Zhou Yi's treatment, the conjunctiva on Mrs. Yang's organ dissolved naturally and was then excreted from the body.
All that's left is for Mrs. Yang to recover her health.
From then on, Zhou Yi no longer needed to come to the hospital to treat Mrs. Yang every day, but only needed to check Mrs. Yang's pulse and adjust the prescription every few days.
Mrs. Yang learned everything about her poisoning from her boss, and looked at Zhou Yi with guilt in her eyes.
"Zhou Yi, I'm so sorry."
“I didn’t know things would turn out this way. My husband acted very recklessly this time.”
"Thank you for saving me despite past grievances."
Zhou Yi carefully put away the silver needles. Seeing Mrs. Yang's sallow face apologizing to him, Zhou Yi couldn't bring himself to say anything hurtful, so he simply shook his head.
"It's all in the past."
Mrs. Yang sighed, her eyes dimming.
Seeing Zhou Yi about to leave, Mrs. Yang asked him, "Zhou Yi, may I ask you, do you have any grudges or entanglements with the Qi family?"
Not long ago, Leader Yang had told his wife about the mastermind behind the murder. Leader Yang did not make a fuss about it; he was still investigating in secret, wanting to know why his adopted daughter wanted to harm Zhou Yi.
It was from Leader Yang that Zhou Yi first heard about the Qi family.
He was also puzzled as to why the Qi family's adopted daughter would poison Mrs. Yang's medicine.
Is it a grudge against him, or a grudge against the Yang family?
Zhou Yi initially thought that the Qi family and the Yang family had a grudge, and that he was just a cannon fodder who was implicated. However, when he heard Mrs. Yang also greet him in this way, Zhou Yi had a change of heart.
Perhaps I really guessed wrong.
"No, it was only after this incident that I first heard the Qi family's name from Leader Yang," Zhou Yi said, shaking his head.
"As for that adopted daughter, I don't know her at all."
"Perhaps there's some misunderstanding or hidden reason. Even now, I don't understand why she's so hostile towards me..."
He had discussed this matter with the minister, who is now investigating the matter behind it.
He didn't want Mrs. Yang to know that the minister had helped him.
"Everything has a cause, so don't worry."
"I'll have someone investigate this matter for you." Seeing Mrs. Yang's willingness to help, Zhou Yi nodded silently.
As the two were talking, Leader Yang walked in with a composed-looking middle-aged man.
The man, dressed in a gray suit, had a naturally upturned lip, giving him an innately approachable air: "You must be the miracle doctor Zhou Yi."
"Hello, I am the Shen family's butler."
"I have long admired your name, it is very famous. I never expected that the divine doctor would be so young. There are indeed people more capable than you."
The Shen family?
Zhou Yi thought for a moment, and then looked at the steward's demeanor. He guessed that this was probably another prominent family in the capital.
He had no specific knowledge of the Kyoto families.
Those who were able to come in with Leader Yang must have come from wealthy and powerful families.
Even though he knew that the Shen family had a very high social standing, Zhou Yi simply nodded slightly.
Seeing Zhou Yi's cold reaction, the man was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he took the initiative to introduce himself, saying that he was entrusted by the old man to invite Zhou Yi to visit the Shen family.
Then, the man praised Zhou Yi's medical skills, praising him as if Zhou Yi were the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, the Sage of Medicine.
In the past few days, Zhou Yi received invitations from several prominent families. Faced with the men's praise, Zhou Yi was not flattered, but remained calm and composed.
After the man finished praising him, Zhou Yi remained expressionless and said:
"I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to visit."
"I appreciate the Shen family's kindness, but I am just an ordinary doctor. I am sure the doctors in the Medical Association are more skilled than me."
Zhou Yi's refusal was already quite straightforward!
With his medical skills, Zhou Yi naturally had no worries about offending these powerful families.
If these aristocratic families dare to retaliate when they are refused, such petty-mindedness will likely deter anyone from treating them in the future!
Even powerful families need a legitimate reason to take revenge.
Moreover, he was still treating Mrs. Yang's illness, so Leader Yang would naturally protect him.
The man's smile froze for a moment when Zhou Yi refused. He had thought this matter would be easy to handle, but he hadn't expected that someone would actually refuse the Shen family's invitation.
“Mr. Zhou, you may be new to Kyoto and unaware of the Shen family’s status.”
"If you can cure the Shen family's illness, the Shen family will guarantee your safety for the rest of your life, and you will be the Shen family's benefactor forever."
The man's words were a bit harsh as he explained to Zhou Yi the benefits of befriending the Shen family.
But the young man in front of him still calmly said, "I'm sorry, I really haven't had any time lately."
He really doesn't have time!
Seeing that he still couldn't contact Shen Bingyan, and with some follow-up matters to be dealt with at the Zhou Group, he would now focus all his energy on finding Shen Bingyan.
After all, Zhou Yi was unaware of Shen Bingyan's background.
He was a little worried that someone might try to harm Shen Bingyan...
Seeing that things were not going well, Leader Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Haha, he really is busy. The minister and my wife both need treatment from the miracle doctor."
"Moreover, my wife's illness cannot be cured in a short period of time, and it requires a lot of effort. People from other prominent families have also come to invite the divine doctor, but he has refused them all."
"I think we should let the miracle doctor rest for a while first."
