Chapter 8: Are you attracted to his face or his money?
Zhou was panicked: "I, I don't know!"
Ye Chutang looked at her, his dark and warm eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
Zhou clenched the bottle of golden wound medicine guiltily, opened her mouth, and said hurriedly: "Then, then I will go back and take a look--"
As he said this, he lowered his head and rushed out.
Ye Chutang kindly reminded: "He should have been sent to the government office by now, and you won't be able to see him when you go back."
Zhou paused, looking conflicted.
Aunt Yang had been thinking about this matter. She wanted to ask Ye Chutang when she saw her just now, but she didn't have the nerve to do so. When she heard what she said, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doctor Ye, so the death of the second young master of the Cao family was not an accident?"
Aunt Yang certainly believed that Cao Chengwu was definitely not killed by Ye Jia Silang. These children were raised by Doctor Ye and they were all very sensible.
Although Ye Jia Silang likes to get into trouble, he definitely doesn't have the vicious intention to be so cruel to others.
During the day, she gathered in the crowd and listened to most of the stories. She thought that Cao Chengwu died of an allergic reaction to something he ate that he was not allowed to eat. She didn't expect there was more to it!
Ye Chutang nodded slightly: "At present, I suspect that someone deliberately gave him river shrimp to eat the night before."
Aunt Yang's eyes widened: "Did you do it on purpose? Who on earth is so bold! That's the second young master of the Cao family!"
Everyone in Jiangling knows that the Cao family is notoriously difficult to mess with, and this second young master is even more precious and pampered.
Now someone is so bold as to kill him!
Ye Chutang sighed softly, "Yes. I heard that Madam Cao had a hard time getting pregnant with him, and she loved him so much and raised him for more than ten years. Who would have thought that something like this would happen... Madam Cao fainted from crying several times. I wonder how sad she will be when Boss Cao comes back."
Aunt Yang clicked her tongue: "That's right! Boss Cao cares more about this youngest son than his eldest son! Otherwise he wouldn't spoil him like that! If he knew who did it, I think he would want to skin the person alive!"
Bang!
Zhou, who was about to go out, tripped and almost fell.
Ye Chutang turned his head to look over and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Zhou shook her head with pale lips.
Aunt Yang scolded: "You are such a grown-up, why are you still so clumsy!"
Zhou steadied herself, said goodbye to the two again, turned around and left in a hurry.
Aunt Yang looked at the figure disappearing outside the door and couldn't help muttering, "I don't know what happened to him today. He seems so absent-minded."
Ye Chutang smiled faintly: "Maybe he is scared because he heard that Cao Chengwu was killed on purpose."
Aunt Yang curled her lips in disapproval: "How could that be possible! She is usually quite courageous! This morning when the Cao family came over to block the door and make trouble, she tried her best to get closer to watch the fun!"
Ye Chutang's heart moved: "Oh?"
When Aunt Yang heard her ask this, she thought that she had upset her again by bringing up what happened during the day, so she lowered her voice a little.
"...Actually, it would be better if there were more people watching. With so many eyes on you, the Cao family wouldn't be able to throw dirty water on you even if they wanted to!"
Thinking of this, Aunt Yang gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Doctor Ye, you are really amazing! If it weren't for your quick reaction, your Silang would have jumped into the river and couldn't wash himself clean today!"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "I also want to thank Aunt Yang for her help. She invited the people here so quickly. Otherwise, the Cao family is so powerful and it is hard to know what will happen."
Aunt Yang waved her hands quickly: "What are you talking about, Doctor Ye! You saved our Ping'er's life, so this is what you should do!"
Ye Chutang did not stay too long. He said a few more words and then left.
Aunt Yang understood that she had been tired from running around all day, and urged her to go back and rest.
"Doctor Ye, don't worry. Since the government has already started investigating, they will soon find out who the real murderer is!"
…
After Ye Chutang returned, he personally boiled medicine for Shen Yanchuan.
Usually, this kind of thing is done by A Yan or A Feng. However, considering that Chen Yanchuan paid a considerable amount of medical fees, Ye Chutang decided to spend more time to make the other party feel that the money was not wasted.
On the other hand, she also hoped that Shen Yanchuan's injuries could heal as soon as possible so that he could leave as soon as he was better.
She has enough troubles of her own and doesn't want to be implicated just because of a medical consultation.
After doing all this, it was already late and Ye Chutang returned to his room.
As soon as I entered, I saw the little girl lying on a small table fiddling with an abacus, with an open account book next to her.
Ye Chutang walked over and took a look: "Are you happy?"
The little girl nodded vigorously at first, then shook her head hesitantly.
She stretched out her chubby little hands and began to tear it apart.
——The clinic is closed today and no money is accepted.
Ye Chutang rubbed her little head: "Tsk, how come you are more obsessed with money than your sister."
She discovered long ago that Xiaowu was very sensitive to numbers, and at first she taught her mental arithmetic just to amuse her. Unexpectedly, under the influence of her, Xiaowu actually learned to read the account books very early.
Other children of this age only think about playing, but Xiaowu is different. Her greatest pleasure every day is to play with abacus beads.
Over time, Ye Chutang just followed her.
"Don't worry, our family now has a big sponsor, and the medical fees collected are enough to cover the previous months of work."
Jiangling is a small place after all, and no matter how good Ye Chutang's medical skills are, the money he can earn is limited.
Now that she has finally met someone she can rip off, she certainly won't be polite.
Xiaowu's eyes lit up.
Ye Chutang snorted and pinched her nose.
"Why, do you like someone just because he or she is pretty?"
Xiaowu is quiet and introverted, and rarely gets close to others on weekdays, but it is different for Chen Yanchuan.
Ye Chutang guessed that it was mainly because of that face.
Xiaowu fumbled in his arms for a while and took out something.
Ye Chutang looked carefully and was suddenly startled.
It turned out to be a jade pendant.
The carving is made of fine white jade, with superior texture and exquisite workmanship, and it is obviously worth a fortune at first glance.
Ye Chutang took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then asked Xiaowu: "Did he give this to you?"
Xiaowu nodded vigorously.
——To my sister! nice!
Although that person was low-key, he was obviously from a noble family, so it seemed normal for him to give a small item as a gift.
Ye Chutang was silent for a moment, feeling that his previous thoughts were too hasty.
It’s hard to say whether Xiaowu likes the face or the generosity.
As expected, like sister, like sister...No!
Suddenly, Ye Chutang's eyes fixed and his brows furrowed.
——The tassel pendant on this jade pendant seems...
Her heart skipped a beat.
"From the capital?"
…
At the same time, Shen Yanchuan, who had just taken the extremely bitter medicine, sneezed.
“A-choo!”
He rubbed his tall nose gently and murmured.
"Who is it? At this time, you are still thinking about me..."
