The matchmaker smiled apologetically and said, "Please excuse me, madam. This servant used to work for an official. Later, that official was imprisoned and his property was confiscated, so they were sold to us. On the way, his father fell seriously ill, and he kept clamoring to get his father medical treatment. No matter how many times we beat him, it was no use. Because he was too noisy, no one wanted to buy him. Alas, there was nothing I could do."

Although the young man's clothes were worn, his face was fair and he had a refined air, suggesting that he was not an ordinary servant in a wealthy family.

Zhong Muyu asked him, "What did you do when you were with your former master?"

"Reporting to Madam, I was formerly the young master's study companion."

"I see. May I meet your father?"

The young man's eyes lit up as if he had seen a glimmer of hope, and he quickly led Zhong Muyu to a room in the back.

Zhong Muyu saw that, besides the middle-aged man on the ground who was on the verge of death, there was also his mother and a younger sister who was about the same age as Zhong Muyu.

The matchmaker stopped Zhong Muyu, saying, "Madam, please don't go over there. That old man won't live much longer, and you might bring him bad luck."

"It's alright, I never believe in these things."

Zhong Muyu examined the middle-aged man and found that he had a fever caused by the most common cold, and it was already quite serious.

In this era, even the most trivial illnesses can easily take a person's life.

Zhong Muyu took out a fever reducer from her spatial storage and fed it to him, as the most urgent task was to reduce the fever.

Seeing how carefully she checked and fed the medicine, the matchmaker and the young man were stunned. When Zhong Muyu stood up, the young man and his sister quickly went forward to observe the situation.

"I gave him fever-reducing medicine, but the most important thing right now is to see a doctor."

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Muyu turned to the matchmaker and said, "I'll buy this family."
