Chapter 365 - 362: A Villain’s Good Deed Must Not Be Delayed
Steward Zhang walked out of Feichang Dao, his hand clutching a prescription, and he looked quite dispirited. He was clearly meant to ascertain the truth of Feichang Dao on behalf of his masters, but instead found himself diagnosed with an illness, and ended up spending ten silvers for the consultation.
Thinking about this made him feel an urgent need to urinate again. However, looking at the prescription in his hand, he folded it and went in search of another medical clinic—He could not simply take the little Taoist’s word for it.
Nevertheless, when he found the best medical clinic in Li City, that senior doctor also diagnosed him with kidney stones, but even then, he was not as detailed or clear in explanation as Qin Liuxi had been. If he asked too eagerly, the doctor’s apprentice would seem impatient.
Steward Zhang also received a prescription, but he used Qin Liuxi’s prescription to get medicine from another herbal store—he did not want those small stones to grow larger, which would be miserable if he ended up in pain unable to straighten his back.
After collecting the medicines, Steward Zhang returned to a secluded villa, and went directly to report to his own master. The servant he had dispatched earlier to follow Xie Chong had already reported back to the master.
"Steward Zhang has returned." The servant stepped aside.
Steward Zhang strode forward and knelt before the handsome man seated in the Taishi Chair: "Eldest Young Master."
"Rise." The handsome man raised his hand, and he was none other than Zhou Wei, who Qin Liuxi had seen with the Ding family.
Zhou Wei asked with interest: "Fu Quan has already spoken about what he has found out; now tell me, what have you heard at that Feichang Dao?"
"Eldest Young Master, that shop is weird enough, but the shopkeeper, he really does have some skills." Steward Zhang hurriedly recounted everything he saw and heard in Feichang Dao, leaving out none of the details, including his own illness.
Initially, Zhou Wei was curious—after all, he had heard about the incident Xie Chong experienced from the servant. Then, after hearing Steward Zhang’s account, curiosity gradually turned to a serious countenance, and his eyes gleamed.
"You never noticed this kidney stone issue before?" Zhou Wei asked with narrowed eyes.
