In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 127: A Costly House Call

As she spoke, Xiao Mei secretly glanced at Rong Qinglei sitting across from Yue Mingxuan and her pretty face turned red again.

All of Rong Qinglei’s attention, however, was focused on Yue Mingxuan and he did not notice Xiao Mei’s shy look at all.

Xiao Mei’s words made Yue Mingxuan realize that this was a good chance to make money. So, he said to Xiao Mei, "Tell Grandpa Bian to rest when he needs to rest and to see patients when he should. I’ll go make the house call."

Xiao Mei responded and turned back toward the clinic.

Yue Mingxuan smiled apologetically at Rong Qinglei and was just about to speak, when Rong Qinglei said first, "I have nothing to do anyway. Why don’t I go with you? I know a little about medicine as well. I can help you."

After saying that, without waiting for Yue Mingxuan to agree, he called the waiter over to settle the bill.

Seeing Rong Qinglei so insistent, Yue Mingxuan found it hard to refuse.

After all, he had just drunk a very expensive pot of tea on Rong Qinglei’s account.

He had seen with his own eyes that Rong Qinglei handed over a whole silver ingot.

That single ingot was half a year’s living expenses for an ordinary family.

If he really brought such a god of wealth along as a helper, even just paying his wages would bankrupt him.

Yue Mingxuan sighing silently and decided to make things clear in advance. "Um... I don’t have money to pay you wages."

Yue Mingxuan’s words made Rong Qinglei laugh happily. "Mingxuan, you can rest assured. I’m not going to earn wages from you. I’ve just never seen how ordinary doctors treat patients, so I want to watch for interest. After you finish seeing the patient, if there’s still time, we can go to West Street together to eat five spice pork knuckle. A new little shop just opened there, and I heard the taste is very good. It’s just that I can’t finish it alone. If you don’t mind, why don’t we go try it together?"

When Yue Mingxuan heard Rong Qinglei mention good food, he almost wanted to grab him and rush straight to West Street on the spot. Dislike it? Of course not.

With delicious food right in front of him, he was only afraid there would not be enough to eat, how could he possibly complain?

Because of the food, Yue Mingxuan no longer wanted to waste time in the teahouse.

He immediately returned to the medical clinic together with Rong Qinglei.

The people in the clinic saw that the two who had just been red-faced and arguing now came back together as if nothing had happened.

Most of them assumed it was just a young couple having a small quarrel.

The three elderly doctor in particular examined Rong Qinglei with the same look one would use to judge a future grandson-in-law.

Only a trace of loneliness flashed across Xiao Mei’s face, though she quickly hid it.

Yue Mingxuan walked straight up to the servant and said, "I will go and make a house call for your master."

The servant glanced at Yue Mingxuan and recognized him as the person who had stopped him at the door earlier.

He did not dare to be rude, but there was still doubt in his tone. "Our master’s favored concubine has already seen the head doctor of the Medicine Hall and even he could not cure her. You are so young, sir. I’m afraid..."

Hearing someone question Yue Mingxuan’s medical skills, Xiao Mei put aside her disappointment over Rong Qinglei and immediately spoke up in defense. "Our sir has fully inherited the true teachings of several respected elders. You could say he has surpassed his teachers. Others beg for a chance and cannot get it. That he is willing to see your patient is your good fortune. If you don’t believe it, then feel free to find someone else."

Seeing that the servant still looked doubtful, Yue Mingxuan spoke calmly. "How about this, if I fail to cure your master’s concubine, I will not charge any consultation fee. I will even pay your master ten taels of gold."

"If he cures her," Rong Qinglei added casually from the side, "the fee won’t be high. Just twenty taels of gold."

Yue Mingxuan glanced at Rong Qinglei.

As expected of Prince Qing, he had instantly seen through Yue Mingxuan’s intention.

Yue Mingxuan smiled faintly and said nothing, clearly accepting Rong Qinglei’s words.

Their conversation immediately caused a stir among the people nearby.

Twenty taels of gold was an astonishing medical fee.

And if the treatment failed, the compensation alone would be enough for someone to take a new concubine.

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan did not look like he was lying, the servant finally agreed.

In any case, his master had already said that as long as the favored concubine could be cured, money was no issue.

Soon, curious people spread the news of what had happened in the clinic.

Before long, a crowd gathered outside, all of them planning to follow along and see how this young doctor would treat the patient.

Seeing that things had developed just as he hoped, Yue Mingxuan boarded the carriage prepared by the servant together with Rong Qinglei.

Not long after, they arrived at the Wu family household in the southern part of the city.

As soon as he stepped down from the carriage, two enormous stone lion statues came into view.

Yue Mingxuan felt delighted inside.

It seemed he had truly caught a big and fat target this time.

Suppressing his excitement, he followed the servant into the courtyard.

Rong Qinglei had been paying close attention to Yue Mingxuan the entire time, so he naturally noticed the joy in his eyes.

At that moment, Rong Qinglei realized that his fondness for Yue Mingxuan had quietly changed.

At first, it had begun with shock at his appearance, but now it had become affection for the person himself.
