Chapter 385 I Just Want the Xie Family’s Medicine
The lights in the inner quarters of the Yu Mansion remained on all night.
As the sky brightened, under the deep blue light, someone knocked on the door outside the mansion and came back to report the news.
Master Yu was still talking to his ninth brother, Doctor Yu, when he saw the messenger being brought in by the doorman with a strange look on his face.
Master Yu, who was always calm and composed, raised his hand to stop Doctor Yu's long speech. He frowned at the newcomer and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? You're so flustered."
"Master! There's an accident at the river!"
Master Yu lowered his eyes and calmed down, speaking in a dignified tone: "What happened by the river? Explain the whole story."
"The river that was navigable yesterday was frozen over overnight!"
"What?!"
Master Yu stood up with the help of his chair.
Yu Song, the owner of Jishitang, also stood up with a look of surprise, pointed at the person who reported the news, and shouted, "Did you see the river freeze with your own eyes?"
He asked what was really in his brother's mind.
"Master, Master Nine, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared come back to report this. The water in the Nar River was fine last night, but it changed overnight!"
"No! That's not right!" the servant hastily amended, his expression even more horrified. "My Lords, the river froze in a matter of moments. They all say it's God's wrath."
“Nonsense!”
Master Yu cursed in a deep voice.
Yu Song pondered for a moment and turned to face his elder brother.
"Brother, what I just told you is what I, your ninth brother, witnessed with my own eyes at Tianjiabao. I wonder if there is any connection between the two. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Master Yu's eyes moved, and he looked up and said, "Come with me to take a look."
"I'll follow my brother's instructions." Yu Song was naturally willing to go and see the amazing sight of the river being frozen overnight.
"Prepare the car!"
After giving the instructions, Master Yu sent someone to inform his wife that if the eldest young master was in any danger, she should immediately call Lu Hongwen from the Lu Family Clinic.
A carriage carried the two brothers of the Yu family out of the city gate and headed straight to Erjiang River.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, they met the Tian family's carriage, which was also heading in the same direction.
When Yu Song heard the servant's reminder, he lifted the curtain and took a look.
Master Yu's deep voice came from behind him, "Is it from the Tian family?"
Yu Song closed the curtain and nodded, his tone very surprised and puzzled: "The Tian family hasn't used the waterway in the past two years. What does the change in the Erjiang River have to do with them? Why would they come here so early in the morning?"
Master Yu lowered his head and twirled the wide jade ring on his finger, saying coldly, "You don't know your own limitations."
Yu Song didn't quite understand what was said, but he was smart enough not to ask any more questions. After all, it was better for him not to know about some matters concerning conflicts of interest.
What he cared about was whether his elder brother could help him get the recipe for that magic medicine from the Xie family.
As long as I can get it!
He was sure that if things went wrong, the Yu family might get the entire title back, it was hard to say.
He doesn't believe that his brother is not moved
That medicine is amazing!
My brother doesn’t know anything about medicine, so he doesn’t know how powerful that thing is.
Master Yu's eyes swept across his face calmly. "You just said that Lu Hongwen has a good relationship with the Xie family?"
Seeing his brother recall this, Yu Song's enthusiasm, which had been interrupted just now, was aroused again. "It can't be said that they have a good relationship. I think Lu Hongwen treats everyone the same. You don't know what kind of temper that old man has. He only sees patients. He doesn't care about high or low. I heard that the exiled prisoners from the Xie family seemed to have had some contact with him."
"Did you initiate contact?"
"I don't know."
"Did they contact you?" Master Yu asked back.
Yu Song was stunned: "..."
With such an expression, Master Yu was fully aware of everything. He swept his eyebrows and lowered his voice before speaking clearly, "The Xie family has fallen into such a state, yet they still have the leisure to actively make friends with others. Doesn't that mean Lu Hongwen won't benefit at all? Is that even possible?"
Yu Song: “!!!”
After pondering for a moment, Yu Song was not sure and asked, "Brother, are you saying..."
Master Yu coughed heavily, cleared his throat, and said, "Do you think people born into wealth and status just make friends as they please? If you have time to keep an eye on the Xie family, why don't you ask Lu Hongwen for advice? Maybe you can find out something from him."
Yu Song was a little embarrassed, "That old man always looks down on me, how about giving me a favor, big brother?"
Master Yu glared at him. "I told you to do your job properly, but you chose to forge your own path. The Lu family has been in Yucheng for generations, yet you've set up Jishiditang to muddy the waters. I often invite him to the mansion to help you. There are huge interests at stake in this matter. I'm a businessman, so it's inconvenient for me to interfere too much in your medical field. You took over the business, so you have to keep it to yourself."
"Brother! Aren't we brothers?"
Master Yu frowned and pondered for a moment, and was deeply moved by his father's selfless act for his son.
"You go and try first. If it doesn't work, I'll step in. Remember, ask for advice properly. Don't always use those crooked methods."
Yu Song nodded repeatedly, looking very happy.
With his elder brother's approval, Yu Song felt like he had a backer. He seemed to see one mountain of gold after another stretching out before him.
He turned back and had to send people into two groups to keep an eye on Lu Hongwen and the group of fugitives respectively.
He just doesn't believe it, he can't do it!
Master Yu was concerned about the river and didn't pay attention to what his brothers were thinking. He drove on without stopping and soon arrived near the Shier River.
They got off the car at a distance.
Everywhere you look, there's a chill hanging over the ice.
After witnessing this spectacle, Master Yu almost couldn't breathe. If it weren't for the servants supporting him, he would have almost fallen to the ground.
“Is it really frozen?!!!”
Yu Song's shock was obvious.

On the river bank.
Lin Diao, the second-in-command of Qinglong Village, didn't expect to run into someone from the Yu family so soon.
"Master Yu, how are you?" Lin Diao said with a cold smile, and it was unclear whether he was happy or provocative.
Master Yu's expression was moved. "I didn't expect Second Master to come down to see it too." After saying this, he looked around and said with a look of regret, "Master Wan, why didn't you come to see this wonder of the world?"
With these words, Lin Diao's brows couldn't help but twitch twice.
I cursed in my heart, this old man is always so sarcastic.
"The waterway used to deliver the goods has become like this. What do you think is the reason for this, Master Yu?"
"Second Master, what are you talking about? I, Yu, just got the news and went out of the city early this morning to check it out. How could I know the reason?"
"The master is really well-informed." Lin Diao smiled.
He had been looking here for a long time. Now that the river was frozen, it was not that the goods could not be transported, but walking on the ice was not as good as land transportation.
Seeing the Qinglongzhai troops preparing to move both people and goods back, Master Yu anxiously asked, "It's already a few days late, are you still delaying?"
