Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Trouble Comes Knocking (4)_1

Though Doctor Gui was the Crown Prince’s personal physician, mainly treating him, he had also watched Xiao Ruiyuan grow up. If something happened to Xiao Ruiyuan, he would never stand by idly. Knowing that Xiao Ruiyuan had been seriously injured, it was Doctor Gui who had volunteered to come.

"That’s good, that’s very good." Mo Yan completely relaxed and squatted down to continue bathing Little Flower.

Seeing that Mo Yan had no intention of talking to him, Doctor Gui grew a bit anxious. He was never one for beating around the bush, so he directly posed the question that troubled his mind, "Young lady, what did you use to clean that boy’s wound?"

Mo Yan’s hand paused, her heart alert, "We just used clean water, is there something else that can be used to clean wounds?" As she spoke, she pretended to panic, "Did we do harm instead, and make it worse?"

Doctor Gui couldn’t see through Mo Yan’s disguise and, seeing her nearly in tears, he had no choice but to suppress his disappointment and comfort her, "No, no, the wound cleaning was very good. I must thank you for saving me quite some trouble."

Mo Yan broke into a smile through her tears, repeatedly waving her hands, "You’re too polite. I’m just glad we didn’t make things worse for you."

Doctor Gui smiled and, seeing Little Flower docilely allowing herself to be washed, asked with interest, "Young lady, how did you tame this wolf cub? It used to be fierce and wouldn’t easily let people near."

Previously, he had wanted to test if wolf blood had any medicinal uses and, on a whim, tried to draw some from the cub. Little did he know that although it looked like a dog, it was fiercely aggressive; it didn’t yield any wolf blood and instead, bit several guards.

Every time after that, the creature wouldn’t stop until it had torn his garments to shreds. Even after he later managed to appease it with treats, it still acted haughtily, always presenting its backside to him. It harbored such a grudge!

Naturally, Mo Yan wouldn’t tell him the real reason and just smiled, saying, "This fellow is easy to please, just give it more tasty food."

Doctor Gui didn’t believe her, for Wu An’s Mansion had an abundance of delicacies, yet the Yan Kid, who had raised the animal, had never seen it this obedient. But if the young lady wouldn’t say, he had no way to press the matter.

The elder and the younger exchanged a few more words of small talk until the guard brought over the prepared medicine, and then Doctor Gui went to check on Xiao Ruiyuan.

Mo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the doctor wasn’t sharp-witted, otherwise, she truly wouldn’t know how to deal with him. It seemed she would have to avoid using the Spirit Spring Water on people carelessly in the future, to prevent arousing suspicion.

After the guard fed Xiao Ruiyuan a bowl of medicine, Doctor Gui ordered several guards to prepare to take Xiao Ruiyuan back to Jing City.

Mo Yan was puzzled. Xiao Ruiyuan was not yet out of danger, and it wasn’t suitable to move him. However, she wasn’t a doctor, and since these people had come to save Xiao Ruiyuan, they surely wouldn’t harm him. With this in mind, she said nothing.

Since Xiao Ruiyuan couldn’t ride a horse or sit in a carriage, these men planned to carry him back to Jing City. They came prepared with a stretcher.

Before leaving, the head of the guards left behind a stack of silver notes, expressing gratitude for Mo Yan and her father’s aid to Sir Xiao. The father and daughter couldn’t refuse and accepted them.

After seeing these people off, Mo Yan also let out a sigh of relief. People are selfish; if saving Xiao Ruiyuan would bring trouble home, she might truly have chosen not to save him.

When certain people in Jing City learned that Xiao Ruiyuan had indeed returned alive, they ground their silver teeth in anger and immediately sent people to investigate the matter. However, they were unaware that Doctor Gui and his companions’ tracks had been erased by Yan Junyu after they left the city. They had no idea Xiao Ruiyuan was saved in Liu Yang Village, much less that the Mo Family was behind it.

...

That night, Prince’s Mansion.
