Just by looking at her clothes and the maidservants following Yu Jiao, Feng Guihua could tell that Yu Jiao must be from a wealthy or noble family. It was a great fortune for them that such a noble was willing to treat the mute. The mute was so ignorant as to touch the lady's clothes. If he offended her, the prescription would be small, but they were afraid that the noble's anger would be something they could not afford.

She hurriedly apologized to Yu Jiao, "Don't be offended, young lady. The mute is never like this normally. Today, I think he was too excited because he saw that you could save his life..."

Yu Jiao didn't care and nodded, but Jian Jia gave the mute a bad look, which seemed like a warning.

Yu Jiao glanced at Jian Jia and said, "The sisters must be getting impatient waiting, let's go back to the front hall first."

Seeing that Yu Jiao was about to leave again, the mute opened his mouth anxiously, making an unpleasant hoarse "Eeyore" sound, while gesticulating rapidly with his hands.

Yu Jiao paused, and seeing the mute's anxious expression, she asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

The mute nodded happily, looking at Yu Jiao intently.

Yu Jiao said, "I don't understand your sign language."

The mute hurriedly pulled Feng Guihua and gestured to her. Feng Guihua didn't expect Yu Jiao to be so good-tempered. Looking at the mute's gestures, she said to Yu Jiao, "Miss, he asked if you were from the capital?"

Yu Jiao did not answer. She did not speak in authentic Beijing accent. How could the mute tell that she was from the capital?

The mute continued to gesture, and Feng Guihua looked at him and said hesitantly, "The mute... said you look like someone he knows... like an old friend he knows..."

Feng Guihua was stunned when these words were spoken. She thought that the mute was daydreaming. The female doctor was obviously of noble birth. How could a mute, who had been down and out for half his life and made a living by selling firewood, meet a rich lady like the female doctor?

"What's wrong with you?" Feng Guihua nudged the mute with her elbow and said in a low voice, "Don't be weird. It's so hard to find a doctor who can cure you."

The mute ignored Feng Guihua and just stared at Yu Jiao and continued to make gestures, with an anxious look on his face, as if he was afraid that Yu Jiao would leave.

Yu Jiao's heart was moved when she heard about the old friend. Liu Sanniang and her husband had lived with her in Huairou for several years, so it was possible that they were old acquaintances.

"Don't be in a hurry, just take your time." Yu Jiao said.

Seeing that Yu Jiao was not angry and was even kind enough to let the mute continue gesturing, Feng Guihua felt in her heart that she had really met a good person today.

Feng Guihua stopped trying to stop the mute and quickly translated his gestures into words, "Miss, he asked if you came from the palace? Did you live in Huairou when you were a child? Do you have a master?"

Yu Jiao was a little surprised after hearing this, "I didn't come from the palace, but I did live with my parents in Huairou for a few years when I was young." Thinking of how Liu Sanniang forbade her to practice medicine and how her master was a bad person, she did have a master, so Yu Jiao said, "Yes... I did have a master."

The mute's face suddenly became excited, but he suffered from chest pain and heart pain, and could not withstand such great joy. His complexion became visibly worse, but he did not care about these. He had been worried about Ah Fu all these years, and now the person might be right in front of him, so he was excited and happy.

"He asked if your name is Ah Fu?" Feng Guihua said, looking at the dumb man's gestures. After saying that, Zheng was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief, "You said the female doctor is Ah Fu?"

The mute delivered firewood to Tianxiang Pavilion more than ten years ago, and Feng Guihua knew him at that time. For a period of time, the mute would buy fried fruits from Tianxiang Pavilion after delivering firewood, saying that he would bring them back for a little girl to eat. The little girl's name was Afu, and she was a maid from the family that moved to the house next door to the mute. Therefore, Feng Guihua also remembered the name Afu.
