"Since you've already reached an agreement, I won't get involved in the follow-up issues. However, Dr. Zhang is currently staying at the inn in the south of the city, which isn't very convenient. I wonder if you would be willing to stay at our house for a while?"
When Tang Jian learned that Doctor Zhang had nowhere to stay, he naturally agreed with Lin Zao's suggestion.
“What you said is exactly what I thought, Madam. Moreover, we will definitely need to consult Dr. Zhang more about the prescription later, so it is certainly more convenient for you to stay here!”
"If Dr. Zhang is willing, I can have someone help you move your things over here, so you won't have to go back to the inn."
Seeing that Tang Jian and his wife were so warmly inviting him, Dr. Zhang accepted without hesitation.
When Tang Jian received the prescription and the three of them returned to the living room, Doctor Yuan had already come from the Prince's Mansion. He had said before leaving yesterday that he would come for a follow-up visit this afternoon.
When he arrived, Tang Jian and the others were in the study. He didn't urge Tang's mother to call them, but waited for Tang Jian and the others to come out while drinking tea.
When he looked up and saw the group of people coming out, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
"puff!"
While wiping his mouth, he pointed at Doctor Zhang in shock, stammering and unable to speak.
"You...you...what are you doing here!"
Tang Jian and Lin Zao exchanged a glance, clearly not expecting that the two actually knew each other.
On the contrary, Dr. Zhang calmly watched Dr. Yuan without any reaction, and even rolled his eyes when he saw Dr. Yuan stuttering in fright.
"Why can't I be here? Making such a fuss! You've never seen anything like this before!"
Doctor Yuan seemed to be angered by Doctor Zhang's words, and immediately lost his previous composure.
He jumped right up from the chair.
"You're the one talking to me! Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Ganzhou! What? Are you too ashamed to face me?"
"Ha! Aren't you the one who's ashamed and afraid to face people? Who's hiding and afraid to go back to see me? I thought you were dead even though you've been gone for over twenty years!"
Dr. Zhang retorted with a sarcastic expression.
The two of them started arguing right in front of Tang Jian and Lin Zao.
Although the two were sarcastically teasing each other, they also showed concern for each other, not like they were enemies.
Tang Jian and Lin Zao didn't try to persuade the two of them, and just sat aside and watched the show.
When the two finally stopped talking, Tang Jian put down his cup.
Are the two doctors old acquaintances?
Doctor Yuan snorted coldly and turned his head away from Doctor Zhang.
"What old acquaintance? We're more like enemies!"
Dr. Zhang looked disgusted.
“He was my junior apprentice. More than 20 years ago, he secretly ran away from home behind my master’s back, saying he wanted to make a name for himself, and he secretly took all of my master’s savings!”
Upon hearing this, Doctor Yuan immediately retorted.
"Was that stealing? I borrowed! I left you a note! And didn't I send you more money back later?"
"How dare you say that! Your master was so angry when he saw the letter that he fell ill!"
Dr. Zhang glared at him fiercely, and Dr. Yuan immediately shut up sheepishly.
Dr. Zhang continued:
“He was gone for twenty-three years. My master kept thinking about him before he died, wanting to see him one last time. I wrote to him several times but he didn’t reply.”
Doctor Yuan's stubbornness vanished, and he said somewhat dejectedly:
“It’s not that I didn’t want to go back. I went to participate in the treatment of the plague, and when I received the letter after it was over, it was already half a year later…”
"Ha! Your master told you not to go, but you still wrote a letter to lie to us and said you didn't go!"
