Chapter 1377 He Ran Away
Master Tan was unhappy, but the other party was, after all, Lord Lu, who had powerful backing. Since they had come to his door, he figured they wouldn't give up until they saw him.
He could only suppress his anger and said with restraint, "Alright, Mr. Lu, come with me."
Shu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed Master Tan to the backyard.
Just as they reached the hanging flower gate, they suddenly saw Madam Tan leading a large group of maids and servants, walking aggressively towards them.
Mr. Tan was startled and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Mrs. Tan was furious. "That old geezer and that little brat ran away! I clearly had someone lock them in the room and keep watch outside, but somehow they just vanished! I think..."
She was so angry that she didn't even see Mr. Tan giving her a meaningful look.
By the time she realized it, she had already said everything she needed to say.
Shu Yu stepped out from behind Master Tan, squinted, and asked, "The old man and little girl that Mrs. Tan mentioned, could they be my old man and little sister?"
Mrs. Tan was taken aback and looked Shu Yu up and down.
Master Tan said in a low voice, "This is Lady Lu, the grandmother and granddaughter who came to our house earlier are her family."
Mrs. Tan's eyes widened.
Shu Yu spoke with a forced smile, "I don't know what our old man said or did, but it sounds like you guys locked them up? One is already old and the other is still young, the Tan family... surely wouldn't go that far?"
Mr. Tan and Mrs. Tan exchanged a glance. The latter, having calmed down, then began to recount the whole story.
However, he was probably very angry, and his tone inevitably carried resentment.
“Lord Lu, I admit we did lock them up, but don’t worry, they weren’t hurt. And don’t think we’re being unreasonable with that old man and the child; they just went too far. My son has been bedridden for two years, and our whole family has been frantic, searching for renowned doctors everywhere. So when we heard that the old man say he had seen many difficult and complicated cases, we invited him back to examine my son.”
Mrs. Tan's eyes began to redden as she spoke of her son's illness, clearly showing how heartbroken she was.
"If he had come and said that his medical skills were not good enough to cure the patient, that would have been fine. Many doctors have been helpless in the past two years, and we could have just sent the patient away. But he actually said that he could cure the patient, but the treatment method was extremely dangerous. He talked and talked about using poison to fight poison, and the medicines he listed were all poisons. This is not treating the disease, this is clearly murder."
Because of Tan's eldest son's illness, the Tan family has been hiring a family physician. Although the doctor's medical skills are not enough to cure Tan's eldest son's illness, he can still take care of him daily.
He thought it was unreliable as soon as he heard about fighting poison with poison. Young Master Tan wasn't poisoned, so what was there to fight?
Even putting aside his words, the Tan family felt that Dr. Zhao was just making a fuss.
Compared to the old man who seemed to have come from nowhere, they naturally trusted the local doctor more.
The Tan family was furious. It was a matter of life and death, and this old man was still spouting nonsense and making a fool of them.
However, if that were all, it would be fine. But the old man also said that Young Master Tan was deeply poisoned and that if he didn't get treatment soon, he probably wouldn't live more than three months.
These words struck a nerve with the Tan family.
Master Tan immediately ordered them to be locked up. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with them, Shu Yu arrived at the door.
