Divine Doctor Cheng just touched Zi Xia’s ankle, and Zi Xia yelped loudly. He frowned slightly and said, "Young lady, your ankle is fractured."
Zi Xia grimaced in pain and said, "Doctor, could I possibly have so pain relief? I can’t take it anymore!"
Divine Doctor Cheng: "I have painkillers here, but as for the price...!"
"Doctor, how much?"
Zi Xia, being a maid, received occasional tips from the young lady, but not much. She worried she didn’t have enough money for the dication.
Divine Doctor Cheng shot her a cold glance and said, "One hundred taels of silver."
Zi Xia’s face fell imdiately. She didn’t have that much money with her, and even if she did, it was left at the War Prince’s Mansion.
At that ti, she followed the young lady in a hurry and didn’t bring many things, only a set of clothes.
Long Yi asked, "Little Xia, what’s wrong? Not enough money?"
"Yes." Zi Xia reached into her pocket and took out over twenty taels of silver pieces, pouting and saying aggrievedly, "This is all I have."
"Don’t worry, I’ve got it." Long Yi took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, pulled one out, and placed it on the table: "Divine Doctor, here’s one hundred taels of silver, quickly give her the dication!"
Divine Doctor Cheng: "Hmm!"
Zi Xia estimated the stack of silver notes in Long Yi’s hand. It was quite thick, each note was for one hundred taels, totaling no less than a thousand taels.
She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; being by the Prince’s side really was different, they were all wealthy.
The one hundred taels of silver worth of dicine was indeed very effective. As soon as it was applied to her ankle, it felt cool and relieved much of the pain.
Divine Doctor Cheng prepared a few more doses of dicine for Zi Xia to take ho and then sat down, uninterested, reading his dical books.
"Mommy, Mommy, I want Xiao Wang to sleep with , but Xiao Wang is gone, Xiao Bao won’t sleep either." A very childish voice ca from inside.
"Xiao Bao, Xiao Wang is lost, Mommy will find him for you tomorrow, okay?"
"No, no, I just want Xiao Wang to sleep with ."
"Xiao Bao, you’re being naughty, Mommy is angry!"
"Waaahhh...!"
Soon after, the sound of a child bawling their eyes out ca from inside.
"Dad, Xiao Wang is missing, Xiao Bao keeps crying, what should we do?" At this mont, a woman walked out from the back hall.
Long Yi and Zi Yi’s eyes widened upon seeing her, and they said in unison, "It’s you!"
The woman looked equally surprised to see them: "What are you doing here?"
Zi Xia said irritably, "Isn’t it thanks to you?"
"I did this?"
"Who else if not you? Tonight, you were the only one running wildly through the streets."
The woman felt extrely guilty and said, "I’m sorry, while looking for my Xiao Wang, I accidentally hurt you. How much is the dical bill? I’ll have my dad waive it for you."
Divine Doctor Cheng, standing beside her, coughed vigorously, thinking to himself, what kind of daughter is this, responsible for such things? It’s hard enough to earn a little money, only for it to be taken back again. Is there no justice in the world?
The woman turned to look at him, saying, "Stop coughing, or you’ll get pneumonia."
"Pah, pah, pah! You troubleso girl, is this how you repay your father?"
"I accidentally hurt them, I have to make it right sohow."
"You make it right if you want, but don’t use your father’s money to do it."
"You’re just a money-grubber."
"If your father wasn’t a money-grubber, how would he feed you and the little baby?"
"Uh...!" The woman was montarily speechless but continued, "Whatever, you need to return the money to them."
After saying this, she turned to ask Zi Xia, "Young lady, how much did my dad charge you?"
Zi Xia: "One hundred and twenty taels."
