Chapter 17: Reciprocity
When Lian Zhou arrived, he saw his master standing there, with several men in black lying not far in front of him.
"Master, these people..."
Just now, he had heard Ye Chutang's voice through the wall, and he also knew that his master had agreed to help with the funeral arrangements.
He was somewhat surprised. After all, his master was a person who disliked trouble. If he didn't want to intervene, even if Ye Chutang saw everything that happened tonight, he would not be able to pose any substantial threat to his master.
Chen Yanchuan recalled the back of Ye Chutang holding Xiaowu and leaving gracefully, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
The woman had been wary of him since the first time she met him, but at this moment, she handed him such a big handle, looking like she trusted him completely.
Quite interesting.
He raised his chin slightly, and said in a light and distant voice: "It's just a piece of cake, just help her solve it."
Lian Zhou still had a strong smell of blood on his body, and it was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce bloody battle, but there was not a single stain of blood on his body.
Hearing this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
…
Cao family.
Cao Chengwen was still waiting in his room.
As time passed, he became increasingly anxious and kept looking towards the backyard.
But the expected people did not show up.
Cao Chengwen frowned and became anxious.
Logically speaking, he should have returned by this time, but why is there still no movement?
Did something unexpected happen?
But that's impossible!
How could Ye Chutang, a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken, be a match for those three people?
Cao Chengwen clenched his fists, his heart hanging in his throat, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
He felt sleepy and his eyelids began to twitch.
He has been running around these past few days, and has been restless and unable to sleep well every day. Now, his body really can't take it anymore.
After a while, Cao Chengwen finally couldn't resist his sleepiness and fell asleep with his head tilted.
The next day, he was awakened by the screams of his servants.
Cao Chengwen didn't get enough rest and was already irritable. When he was suddenly woken up, his mood became even worse.
"What are you doing? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?"
However, the next moment, he was shocked to find that the door of his room was half open. There was a group of servants standing outside the door, looking over here with panicked expressions.
Cao Chengwen lowered his eyes, and then suddenly stood up from the chair!
A dead body! Lying right at the door of his room!
Cao Chengwen recognized the man's identity almost instantly. At the same time, a chill suddenly ran up his spine, making him feel cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Crash——
The window was blown open, and he seemed to sense something. He turned his head stiffly and saw two bodies lying in the backyard.
Its feet were facing him and its head was facing outwards, in a strange posture.
Cao Chengwen felt that his hands seemed a little sticky. He slowly lowered his head and saw that the blood on his hands had dried and there was a bloody dagger at his feet.
No matter who looked at it, it seemed that these three people had a conflict with him and were stabbed to death by him when they tried to escape!
Someone shouted, "Young Master killed someone!"
Cao Chengwen's mind went blank in an instant.
…
Ye's Clinic reopened today.
Afeng's suspicion has been cleared and everything is back to normal.
Ye Chutang examined several patients, wrote prescriptions, and went to the pharmacy to get the medicine himself.
A Yan and A Feng both went to the academy for classes today, so there were only her and Xiao Wu in the clinic.
Xiaowu was too small to reach the medicine rack, so he just sat on a chair beside him, resting his chin with one hand and fiddling with an abacus with the other.
She could calculate the income of just a few people without using an abacus.
It was also during the consultation that Ye Chutang heard about a major event that had happened in the Cao family today.
——Cao Chengwen killed someone!
"Is this true?" Ye Chutang paused while wrapping the medicine, seeming to be surprised. "How could Young Master Cao kill someone when he was fine?"
"Of course it's true! I heard that he killed not just one person, but three! Two of them ran to the yard, and one couldn't even get out of the door. He was stabbed to death!"
When this matter was mentioned, everyone was amazed, gossiping and afraid.
"I heard that when he was found, the knife was still in his hand! It is said that those people owed Master Cao a lot of gambling debts. I wonder if this death is related to this-"
Rumors always turn one thing into another. When someone says something so certain that it seems like they saw it with their own eyes, you only need to believe it to the utmost.
However, it is not difficult to imagine what the situation is at the Cao family.
Cao Chengwu’s death had already caused quite a stir, and now three people had died at once, which obviously caused an even bigger stir.
Especially since the Cao family was already at the center of controversy, now...
It was not until those people left the clinic with the medicine that Ye Chutang turned around and glanced in a certain direction of the yard through the curtain.
This Mr. Shen is really a particular person.
Seeing Xiao Wu eating candied fruit again from the corner of his eye, Ye Chutang called out to her, "Which one is this?"
Xiaowu made a guilt-ridden gesture.
Ye Chutang pinched her little face: "You can't eat too much candy, and you are not allowed to eat the rest."
Xiaowu handed over the candied fruit reluctantly and placed it on a plate beside him.
Ye Chutang remembered something and picked up the plate: "Oh, the medicine is almost ready. Xiaowu, you stay here and I'll take it over."
…
Inside the house, Shen Yanchuan checked his wound, which had completely healed and scabbed. It should be completely healed in a short time.
His medical skills are not inferior to those of the imperial doctors in the capital.
Lian Zhou came in with the boiled medicine, with a look of joy on his face: "Master, Doctor Ye didn't change the prescription today. She said that your condition has almost recovered, and there is no need to change the prescription every day! Just stay in bed for a few more days!"
Chen Yanchuan felt that the words "stay in bed and recuperate" carried a strong hint and targeting meaning.
"Yeah?"
"Yes! And because the prescription was not changed, no additional consultation fee was charged today!"
Lian Zhou was very happy.
When he first met Ye Chutang, he felt there was no hope. Who knew that she could actually cure her master!
Shen Yanchuan took the bowl of medicine and looked at the dark brown medicine soup. The strong bitter taste almost reached the sky.
The medicine costs one hundred taels a day, but today it is finally free.
Is this her thank you gift?
Chen Yanchuan picked up the bowl and saw that there was a small candied fruit next to it.
He drank the bowl of medicine without changing his expression, and then picked up the candied fruit.
In fact, he never eats this thing. He has taken medicines no matter how bitter they are and has long been accustomed to it.
However, since the other party is sincere, it is difficult to refuse.
Shen Yanchuan put the candied fruit into his mouth, and the sweet smell instantly spread between his lips and teeth.
His sword-like eyebrows slightly raised.
——That’s more like it.
Shen Yanchuan: She loves me so much
Ye Chutang:……? ? ?
