Chapter 188 Miss You, Do You Have Money?
Yu Zhiyi looked on with admiration: "Minister Fan is truly a saint of our time. He can give away a priceless jade pendant so easily. I am ashamed of my own inferiority."
"No, who said I was going to give it away?"
Vice Minister Fan became anxious.
Madam Fan couldn't stand it anymore: "What are you saying to Doctor Yu? You should be asking Miss You for the jade pendant."
Then Vice Minister Fan remembered that the jade pendant was in You Bingyue's hands, and immediately looked at You Bingyue: "Miss You, please return my family heirloom jade pendant."
You Bingyue: "?"
Didn't we agree that whatever she found was hers?
She didn't want to give it away, after all, the reason she picked up the jade pendant was because she saw that the jade was of excellent quality and could definitely be exchanged for a lot of money.
But now that the right person is right in front of her, she has no choice but to give it to them.
Even if she harbored hostility towards Yu Zhiyi, she had to admit that since Yu Zhiyi was certain that the jade pendant belonged to the Fan family, it must be from the Fan family.
If Yu Zhiyi knew what she was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes.
There's no need to resort to metaphysics to figure this out; just think about it with your brain.
You Bingyue is no ordinary peasant girl; anyone she takes a liking to and takes out of the village must be a good person.
Caonan Village is located in a remote area and is a well-known impoverished village. You can't find a single wealthy person in the entire village even if you go back five generations. How could there possibly be anything good in it?
In the past century, only the Fan siblings have ever set foot in Caonan Village.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the good stuff belongs to the Fan siblings.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, You Bingyue had no choice but to take out the jade pendant.
Upon inspection, Vice Minister Fan realized it was indeed his own jade pendant!
Although he was young at the time and couldn't remember what the jade pendant looked like, it was included in the family genealogy because of its extraordinary origin.
His tireless search for his younger brother and sister over the years was not only to fulfill his parents' last wish, but more importantly, to retrieve the jade pendant.
He looked at his jade pendant with such excitement that he almost wanted to hug and kiss it.
Then Yu Zhiyi said coolly, "Those two evil spirits are currently residing inside the jade pendant. Is Vice Minister Fan sure he wants to take the jade pendant home like this?"
Vice Minister Fan's face froze, and he almost threw the jade pendant away.
Even the hand that had touched the jade pendant no longer wanted it.
Yu Zhiyi showed no sympathy for him and said calmly, "Don't panic. For just one thousand taels, I can help you get rid of those two evil spirits."
One thousand taels is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but it is nothing to a fourth-rank official.
Although their salaries are not much, most officials, unless they are particularly stubborn, will engage in side businesses to generate income.
Moreover, Vice Minister Fan's father was the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, who frequently represented the court on diplomatic missions to other countries.
Lord Fan is a shrewd businessman. He can buy things from other countries at low prices and then easily resell them in the Great Sheng Empire for several times or even ten times the price.
In short, the Fan family is rich.
The money that Yu Zhiyi accepted was also reasonable.
If it were a poor family, she naturally wouldn't accept so much.
But this Vice Minister Fan had ulterior motives, and she didn't mind taking advantage of him.
Vice Minister Fan was a little confused at the moment, feeling that something was wrong.
But when he thought of the priceless jade pendant, he couldn't bear to actually throw it away, so he gritted his teeth and prepared to pay.
Yu Zhiyi looked at the silver notes in front of her and said calmly, "I only accept real gold and silver."
Vice Minister Fan: "..."
Do I look like someone who can carry a thousand taels of silver on me?
Yu Zhiyi knew he couldn't, so she didn't force him. She said calmly, "Let me help Miss You dispel the yin energy first, then I'll go back to the manor with Vice Minister Fan to move the silver."
Vice Minister Fan: "...Alright."
She practically spat out the word through clenched teeth.
He didn't want to stay here any longer because he was afraid he would be so angry he would die!
He regrets it now, he regrets it so much!
Even if he wanted to scheme against the Prime Minister, why would he start with this Physician Yu?
This woman is so arrogant that she doesn't even respect the Duke of Yong's mansion, who is now just a minor fourth-rank official.
Madam Fan then remembered something: "Since Doctor Yu resolved the matter in Cao Nan Village, shouldn't the reward go to Doctor Yu?"
Yu Zhiyi smiled faintly: "That's how it should be."
She wouldn't hypocritically make excuses.
Although she doesn't lack the money, her things are hers, and no one can take them from her unless she wants to give them away herself.
You Bingyue was so angry she almost vomited blood.
That bitch!
But when it came to money, she suddenly remembered something: "Now that Vice Minister Fan has taken the jade pendant, those two ghosts won't bother me anymore, right?"
Yu Zhiyi looked at her calmly: "You can give it a try."
You Bingyue choked.
Although she felt that the two ghosts would no longer bother her, she dared not gamble.
Being possessed by evil spirits is an unpleasant feeling!
The insults and torment inflicted on her by the ghosts in her dreams left her physically and mentally exhausted.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Suppressing the pain on her face, she said in a low voice.
Yu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, one thousand taels."
"You're robbing me!"
Yu Zhiyi shrugged: "Actually, it's fine if I don't take action. As long as you sunbathe for an hour every day at noon for a year, you can gradually reduce the influence of the yin energy on you until the influence disappears completely."
"Of course, you can also ask other people to do it; perhaps they will be cheaper."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Seeing Yu Zhiyi's confident demeanor, and remembering how Ouyang Shuo couldn't withstand a single move from the female ghost, while Yu Zhiyi could easily subdue her, You Bingyue could only suppress the urge to grit her teeth and say, "Fine, I'll heal her!"
Yu Zhiyi asked a fatal question: "Do you have money?"
You Bingyue: "..."
Du Ziheng couldn't stand it anymore.
"I'll pay."
Yu Zhiyi nodded: "You know the rules."
Du Ziheng pinched the bridge of his nose: "Alright, I'll have someone exchange the silver right away."
Yu Zhiyi said, "Have someone move it directly to Yiluan Charity, and then just have someone come back and report to me."
Du Ziheng: "..." Does this mean they don't trust him?
He felt a little heartbroken.
They've known each other for so long, and they're even husband and wife. How could she not trust him at all?
It's a pity that Yu Zhiyi didn't hear his thoughts, otherwise she definitely wouldn't mind giving him a dirty look.
Don't you want to see what you've done? Why should I trust you?
Half an hour later, someone from Yiluan Charity came to report that the silver had been delivered and the staff had counted it in person, totaling a full one thousand taels.
Yu Zhiyi nodded in satisfaction.
She took out a talisman from her sleeve, held it between her hands, and muttered incantations.
The limp talisman suddenly stood up. A moment later, Yu Zhiyi flung the talisman out, and it transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for You Bingyue.
Yu Bingyue instinctively shouted angrily, "What are you doing?!"
However, the talisman did not hit her. Instead, it stopped less than half a meter in front of You Bingyue and then turned into a golden light that entered her body.
Everyone noticed the change in You Bingyue.
Originally, her face was red and swollen, with a bluish-black tinge that just wouldn't go away.
But now, the bluish-black color has completely disappeared, leaving only redness and swelling.
