The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1378: I Came to Find You

Mrs. Tan finished speaking and added with a trace of sarcasm, ”I was wondering how that old man got so bold, going around talking nonsense without real medical skills, daring to visit people for treatment without fear of causing a death. Now I see it’s because he has Monarch Lu Xiang backing him.”

Old Master Tan coughed lightly and shot Mrs. Tan a disapproving look.

Mrs. Tan was frustrated, having been troubled by Young Master Tan’s prolonged illness, which had become a persistent worry.

Even if the other party is Monarch Lu Xiang, so what? She isn’t afraid.

”Monarch Lu Xiang, don’t blame me for speaking bluntly, but your family’s old man has collided with us now. We are just powerless merchants and can’t do anything to him. However, if he continues like this, and falls into the hands of those in power, not only will Monarch Lu Xiang not be able to protect him, he might even cause trouble for you.”

Old Master Tan frowned, ”Enough, why say these things?”

Mrs. Tan pursed her lips, hesitated, and chose not to continue.

Who would have thought that Shu Yu would smile and say, ”Thank you, Mrs. Tan, for the reminder.”

Knowing what had happened and realizing that neither were hurt, Shu Yu felt reassured.

Mrs. Tan was taken aback, not expecting her to say that.

Shu Yu, ”Either way, the priority is to first find the people. We can discuss how to resolve everything face-to-face when we meet them, don’t you agree?”

”Monarch Lu Xiang speaks the truth.”

Old Master Tan quickly turned to instruct the household servants to look everywhere and find them as soon as possible.

Before they left, Shu Yu said, ”Please, when you’re searching, call out and say that I’ve come.”

She thought that if they didn’t announce this, Old Doctor Zhao might hide and never show himself.

Having practiced medicine for many years, traveling far and wide, he has a plethora of methods to remain hidden, surely making it effortless to not be found.

Didn’t you hear Mrs. Tan earlier? Even locked inside a room with guards watching, he could escape with Ah Ning without alerting anyone.

Even if Old Doctor Zhao doesn’t practice martial arts, it’s impossible for ordinary folks to keep an eye on him.

This is why the Lu family trusts him to go wherever with Ah Ning.

Shu Yu was led back to the front hall by Old Master Tan to have tea and wait, and her approach proved effective, as shortly after, Old Doctor Zhao and Ah Ning appeared in front of her.

”Second Sister.” Ah Ning ran in quickly, hugged Shu Yu’s waist, and looked up at her eagerly, ”Second Sister, why are you here?”

”I’m here to find you both.”

She took a good look at the two of them, seeing they were indeed unharmed and in good spirits, she felt assured.

However, Old Master Tan and Mrs. Tan’s faces grew even more unpleasant upon seeing Old Doctor Zhao.

Old Master Tan took a deep breath, ”Monarch Lu Xiang, for your sake, we won’t pursue today’s matter. Please take this old man away.”

Shu Yu indeed intended to take Old Doctor Zhao away immediately, although her family and the Tan Family at least had some business dealings.

The Tan Family wasn’t as ruthless as the medical staff had claimed, driving doctors to their deaths when they visited the mansion.

If Young Master Tan really doesn’t survive three months, the Tan Family discovers Old Doctor Zhao’s identity later, with their couple’s heavy concern for Young Master Tan, resentment would likely arise in their hearts.

Better to make friends than enemies.

Thus, Shu Yu didn’t leave; she approached Old Doctor Zhao and quietly asked him a few questions.
