Jianjia glanced at the mute, expressionless, "I don't recognize him." After saying this, her tone became sharp, and she said in a cold voice, "My young lady is kind-hearted and has been treating you and prescribing medicine for you without charging a penny, but you keep pestering me. What on earth are you thinking?"
Feng Guihua's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly apologized, "Miss, please don't misunderstand. We didn't mean to bother the female doctor. The mute thought the female doctor looked like someone he knew in the past, and he lost his composure for a moment. Please don't take it personally."
When the mute heard her say that she didn't recognize the name Yu Jiao, he gave up and knew that he might have recognized the wrong person. It would be a shame to ask Feng Guihua to get into trouble because of him, so he knelt down and apologized to Jianjia.
Jianjia glanced at the two of them and asked, "What old friend?"
Feng Guihua also knew something about Ah Fu, and hurriedly said, "Ah Fu came to Huairou with her parents more than ten years ago. She lived in the same alley with the mute. The little girl was well-behaved and cute. Later, she moved away with her parents. I heard that they went to the capital."
The mute never told anyone else that Ah Fu was sold to a eunuch by her parents, and this was all Feng Guihua knew.
Jianjia didn't ask any more questions. She thought about reporting to Yu Jiao first, so she nodded slightly and said, "Since you two are relatively honest, let's forget about today's matter."
Feng Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously escorted Jianjia out of the room.
After Jianjia left, Feng Guihua started to nag at the mute, "I said that the female doctor couldn't be Ah Fu. You are really bewitched! Fortunately, the female doctor is kind and the maidservant beside her didn't bother with us. I will go get you some medicine tomorrow. You should take good care of yourself and don't worry about Ah Fu for now."
The mute never married or had children in his life, and he had no close friends around him. He was a lonely man. People like him who were incompetent and disabled had always been looked down upon.
Only little Ah Fu was willing to get close to him, calling him "Mute Uncle" in a friendly and gentle manner. When he brought firewood back, he would raise his little fist to massage his legs.
The mute's life was meaningless, he only missed little Ah Fu, he didn't care whether she was sick or not. Some time ago, a young man from the capital asked him about Tianxiang Pavilion, he mentioned little Ah Fu, this made him want to go to the capital to find little Ah Fu, he wanted to see Ah Fu before he died, to know if she was doing well.
The mute coughed, took out a patched purse from his arms, handed it to Feng Guihua, and gestured to her: Money for medicine.
Seeing that he listened to her advice, Feng Guihua took the purse and stuffed it into her sleeve along with the prescription, "I'll go to the pharmacy to get you the medicine tomorrow morning."
After delivering the prescription, Jianjia returned to the front hall. Liu Yaoyu and the others had already finished their meal, so Gu Yun called the waiter to settle the bill. They already knew that Yu Jiao had just been treating a patient in the backyard. In front of them, Jianjia did not say much. After returning to the inn where they were staying, Jianjia closed the door and then told Yu Jiao about the matter in detail.
"Did he really write the word 'Yu Jiao'?" Yu Jiao was a little surprised. She didn't have the memory of her original body knowing Guan Rou, so it was possible that the mute really knew her.
Jianjia nodded, "It is indeed the young lady's maiden name, but I don't recognize it. I want to report it to the young lady first and wait for her to decide."
Yu Jiao knew that she was being cautious and fearing any complications. The two men lived in the backyard of Tianxiang Pavilion, so if she wanted to find them to find out what was going on, she wouldn't be afraid of not finding them.
Yu Jiao was still very interested in the original body. After thinking deeply, many of Liu Sanniang's words were not credible. After thinking for a while, she said, "We have to travel early tomorrow morning. I don't want to delay the journey because of me. Bai Lu, come with me."
"Young lady, are you going to meet those two now?" Jianjia disagreed. The mute looked simple and pitiful, but how could there be such a coincidence? She suggested, "Why not let Bailu invite them to the inn? There are so many people in Tianxiang Pavilion, and it will be inconvenient for the young lady to ask questions."
