Chapter 318 An Unreliable Master
Bai Ming didn't linger for long. He briefly explained things to Shen Junshan and his wife, then led Shen Sikang towards the main courtyard of the manor.
Upon meeting Gu Yunrou, Bai Ming went straight to the point and explained the situation to her.
Bai Ming originally thought that Gu Yunrou would definitely have objections if she heard that he was leaving at this time.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yunrou didn't press Shen Muyang about his illness, but instead anxiously asked,
"Young Master Bai, is the Su family you're talking about the Su family, the wealthiest merchant family in Jiangnan?"
Bai Ming raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, my third junior brother's family is indeed the Su family, the wealthiest merchant family in Jiangnan. Does Madam know my third junior brother?"
Gu Yunrou shook her head.
"I don't know your third junior brother, but I might know his aunt."
If I'm not mistaken, his aunt, Su Jingshu, married the current Prince of Zhenbei.
After the old Zhenbei King passed away, the new Zhenbei King did not stay in the capital for long before going to the northern desert to guard the border.
Jing Shu was traumatized during childbirth and did not recover well, so not only did her physical health deteriorate, but her mental state also deteriorated significantly.
However, in the Prince Bei's mansion in Jingcheng Town, there was only Jing Shu and her twin sons from her first pregnancy.
When the Su family found out, they sent people to pick up the mother and her two children and take them to Jiangnan.
Before I left Beijing, I wrote to her to tell her that I was coming to Yunlu City and that she could come over to relax if she wanted.
well!
I thought her health would improve with family around in Jiangnan, but I never imagined it would get this serious.
Bai Ming was also very surprised to hear Gu Yunrou's words.
"So the lady is the good friend that Aunt Su mentioned."
It seems we really are destined to meet. My third junior brother said they are on their way now, and they are probably still three or four hundred kilometers away from here.
He said Aunt Su's condition wasn't good and asked me to go and greet her. As for the young master…”
"Young Master Bai, you can arrange things for Yang'er as you see fit, I have no objections. As for Jing Shu, the situation is urgent, so please go there."
Yang'er is young; a couple of days shouldn't be a problem. I trust your medical skills.
Bai Ming couldn't help but look at Gu Yunrou with newfound respect.
"Alright, Madam, don't worry, I'll make arrangements for the young master."
By the way, I just accepted Shen Sikang as my apprentice today. While I'm away for the next couple of days, I'll have him watch over the Crown Prince's medicinal bath. I'll take him to the Crown Prince's place later to explain the details.
Gu Yunrou nodded. She seemed even more anxious than Bai Ming, and quickly had someone take Bai Ming and his apprentice towards Shen Muyang.
As Bai Ming walked, he explained to Shen Sikang the precautions that Shen Muyang needed to take for the medicinal bath.
He listened very attentively, and he even memorized the general acupuncture techniques that Bai Ming described after only hearing them once.
Bai Ming was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that Chen Sikang would have such good comprehension and memory. It seemed that he had found a treasure.
If this were in modern times, he would definitely be considered a child prodigy or academic star, and would absolutely be a prospect for Tsinghua University or Tsinghua University.
Bai Ming had originally planned to add another dose of medicine to buy some time, but now that his disciple was learning so quickly, he decided not to bother.
Once inside Shen Muyang's room, Bai Ming patiently and earnestly explained the acupuncture procedure several more times.
Finally, he simply tried it on Shen Muyang; he hadn't expected Shen Sikang to have actually learned it...
Half an hour later, Bai Ming rode away from Chuyun Village and galloped all the way...
As evening fell, Bai Ming met up with Su Yuanzhi in a small town.
After taking Su Jingshu's pulse, Bai Ming's expression immediately turned serious.
He had considered that things might be bad, but he hadn't expected them to be this bad.
He sighed and took out silver needles to give Su Jingshu a few acupuncture treatments.
