Chapter 1376 The Tan Family
Shu Yu remembered that the Tan family's cloth shop was indeed very large.
She had heard her mother and eldest sister mention earlier that a batch of the fabrics they were currently ordering came from the Tan family.
Moreover, when they occasionally come to the prefectural city to check out the latest fashion trends, they mostly visit the Tan family's clothing stores.
The Tan family indeed wields considerable power in Dong'an Prefecture, and with a relative holding an official position in the capital, they can be considered both wealthy and influential.
But if I go to the Tan family for treatment, then I'll just get treatment. If I can't be cured, at most I'll be kicked out. How can that be considered causing a major disaster?
Shu Yu asked the shop assistant, "What will happen if the doctor goes to the Pang family and can't cure the illness?"
"I don't know. I only know that the doctors who treated the eldest son of the Tan family all had bad days later. If this old man spouts such nonsense and angers the Tan family, I'm afraid his fate will be even worse."
The shop assistant shrugged, having had his fill of schadenfreude, when someone called him from the clinic. He ignored Shu Yu and went back to his work.
Shu Yu rubbed her temples and left the clinic.
"Miss, shall we go to the Tan family's house?"
"go."
The carriage continued on its way. The Tan family's house was not hard to find; a little inquiry was all it took to locate it in the east of the city.
When Shu Yu arrived at the Tan family's door, it was already quite late.
She knocked on the door, gave her name, and the gatekeeper was taken aback when he heard that it was Lady Lu. He quickly went in to inform his master.
However, Master Tan looked completely bewildered; he didn't know Lu Xiangjun.
Ask any of the other women in the Tan family present, and none of them will recognize them either.
It's really strange that this village head came to our door out of nowhere.
But Master Tan knew Shu Yu's reputation; he was a man with powerful connections in the capital.
Therefore, he did not delay and immediately had his servants invite her in.
After entering, Shu Yu followed the servants directly to the front hall, where only Master Tan was present.
However, Mr. Tan was not quite what I had imagined. He was very thin and looked somewhat haggard. I wondered what had just happened. Anyway, there seemed to be a very faint footprint and a scratch on Mr. Tan's clothes.
Shu Yu's eyelids twitched, and she suspected that Master Tan's current state might be related to Doctor Zhao.
Could it be that a conflict has already broken out?
Thinking of this, Shu Yu stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I hope my visit has not disturbed Master Tan."
"Mr. Lu, you're too kind. Please have a seat. I..."
"Master Tan," Shu Yu said before he could finish his polite greetings, "I'm so sorry, I heard that my master and my younger sister were brought back by your servants to treat your son's illness. I wonder where they are now?"
Mr. Tan was stunned. "Your family... Master and younger sister?"
Shu Yu nodded, "Yes, the old man's surname is Zhao, and my little sister's name is Aning."
Mr. Tan's expression changed instantly, revealing a hint of anger and dissatisfaction.
He had been quite polite to Shu Yu at first, but now his face darkened.
Shu Yu thought to herself: Could it be that she really arrived too late? But wasn't Old Master Zhao here for treatment? How could he have angered Old Master Tan so much? Or did he just say that Young Master Tan's illness was incurable and that he was going to die?
"Mr. Tan, did the two of them say something inappropriate? I think Mr. Tan doesn't seem very happy. My husband is a very straightforward person, so there might be some misunderstanding. I wonder if I could meet with them first?"
Finished 10,000 words today, yay!
