Chapter 539 Doctor He’s Curiosity

As soon as these words came out, all the disciples came forward and said in a flurry, "Our senior sister has already said that the consultation fee is paid by our Du family!"

"Brother, you are right. It was our Du family who offended you first, causing you all so much suffering. We have to pay for the medical expenses."

Hu Lao San reached directly for the purse on his waist and said, "I'm the eldest disciple. I'll pay for Madam Lu."

"Brother, you were saving this money to buy the Longquan Sword. Let's pool our money together."

…

Master Du suddenly looked up and slammed the table hard: "Stop talking, I'll pay!"

This shout stunned everyone, but after shouting, he quickly lowered his head again.

Miss Du opened her eyes weakly. "Dad, what are you doing? It's like firecrackers going off next to my ears. You almost deafened me."

Mr. Du sat in the chair with his head down, not daring to say a word.

If his wife knew that he dared to treat her daughter like this, his life would be miserable.

The Chinese New Year was approaching, and he didn't want to be left in the snow on New Year's Eve.

Miss Du looked at Hu Xin'er with an apologetic look on her face: "My father is ignorant, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Hu Xiner smiled awkwardly. What could she say in such a situation?

There were three patients and a pregnant woman in the clinic, and the patients could not be moved easily. Hu Xiner was worried and wanted to spend the night in the clinic, but she was also worried about Lu's mother at home.

However, when she saw Mu Qing unable to speak due to a tracheal injury, she felt an infinite pain in her eyes.

If he went back, Lu's mother would find her son in this state and his condition would probably get worse.

If she didn't go back, Mother Lu would be with the beggars and others who were caught from the tunnel today, and she would be worried and frightened.

Miss Du was a very smart person. Seeing her appearance, she guessed her thoughts and ordered, "Hu Laosan, take a few people to the Lu family to guard them. Make sure to protect Aunt Lu."

She looked at Hu Xin'er again and said, "Please, Madam Lu, take a token of gratitude and enclose a handwritten letter to relieve Auntie from worrying too much."

The disciples were also very smart. Doctor He's clinic was the largest in Qingzhou City. He usually lived and ate here. It was divided into two floors. The first floor was used for medical consultation, and the second floor was used for living and storing precious medicinal materials.

After obtaining Dr. He's consent, they began to take care of everything for Hu Xiner and his wife.

Even though Hu Xiner was exhausted, she couldn't help but feel comforted when she saw so many people working hard for her, and her resentment towards Mr. Du's actions was also alleviated a lot.

But Grandpa Du was still stubborn and sat in the clinic until the next morning and refused to leave.

After waking up the next day, the first thing Hu Xiner did was to check on her husband's condition. She saw that after taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor He, his complexion became noticeably rosier.

He opened his eyes and called out in a hoarse voice, "Madam."

Somehow, Hu Xiner was not at a disadvantage at all when confronting so many people last night. But now, looking at Mu Qing's eyes full of guilt, her eyes suddenly became sore.

"You still remember to wake up?" She sniffed. "Why didn't you think so much when you rushed out to beat people up last night?"

If something really happened to Mu Qing, how would she spend the rest of her life?

If Miss Du had not woken up in time and was really kicked out of the clinic, how could she have persuaded the local doctor to open the door and treat her?

Mu Qing sat up and gently put his arm around her shoulders, feeling somewhat bewildered. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so impulsive... If it weren't for your quick response last night, I really don't know if Yun Jue could have received treatment in time, and I..."

He patted Hu Xin'er's back, his eyes filled with pity and guilt: "I'm too stupid and impulsive."

Hu Xin'er's sobbing could be heard in the room. Listening to Mu Qing's apologies, she felt extremely sad: "If only I hadn't taken advantage of this little advantage, if it hadn't been for the underground incident, we wouldn't be in such a predicament."

Mu Qing wiped her tears away: "If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death on the streets."

His eyes were still as warm and resolute as before, filled with infinite affection: "Xin'er, I once said that you are the lucky star of our Lu family, and this will never change."

Hu Xin'er couldn't stop her tears from falling: "You only know how to say sweet words to coax me! I was really scared last night. There were so many people staring at me. If it weren't for Miss Du who was sensible, you would have..."

After crying bitterly, the emotions accumulated in her heart finally dissipated. She turned around and found Dr. He standing at the door awkwardly, not knowing how much he had heard.

Hu Xin'er quickly wiped the tears from her face and tried her best to make her voice normal: "Doctor He, what can I do for you?"

Although Doctor He was a little slow in temper, he had not eaten in vain for so many years, so he just pretended not to see her tears.

He stepped forward to check Mu Qing's pulse, then nodded. "Just as I expected, after you took the medicine last night, you must have been using your internal energy to repair your injuries, right? That's why you recovered so quickly."

Hu Xin'er was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mu Qing: "Then you didn't sleep all night last night?"

Mu Qing knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had no choice but to nod.

Hu Xin'er hurriedly asked, "Are you sleepy now? Are you tired?"

She suddenly remembered something and looked at Doctor He: "Is it harmful to his health if he stays up all night like this?"

Doctor He said slowly, "Of course there are some injuries, but I considered this possibility when I wrote the prescription, so I gave him the mildest and most effective medicine. Therefore, he's fine, so you don't have to worry."

Hu Xin'er finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then may I ask, doctor, how is Yun Jue doing now?"

Doctor He said slowly, "He's doing very well, but like Miss Du, he needs to take a few more doses of medicine to completely eliminate the toxins."

"Then we'll have to trouble Doctor He!" the couple said in unison.

Doctor He looked at them quietly, with a hint of hesitation on his face, as if he didn't know whether he should speak or not.

Hu Xin'er's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"

Whether it is ancient or modern people, the most feared thing when going to the hospital is probably the doctor's hesitant look.

Doctor He slowly asked, "What are your husband and his wife wearing on their faces? Can you let me see?"

"Ah?" Hu Xiner didn't expect the topic to suddenly jump to this point.

Mu Qing agreed without hesitation: "As long as Doctor He can cure my brother, I am willing to let you remove the bandages from our faces!"
