Chapter 396: Chapter 406 Healing Wounds

So, he might as well come in this ghoulish state. Anyway, even his own parents wouldn’t recognize this face anymore. Those who saw him would only think that the silhouette of this unfortunate soul bore a striking resemblance to the handsome and dashing Young Master, but no one would believe it was actually him.

Yue Rujing was seething with anger as he shakily sat down with the support of his cane.

The moment he sat down, he screamed in pain and ordered the stunned Banxia standing by to bring a cushion.

Banxia was scared witless. The Princely Heir had been beaten to such a state and even mocked by Sister Youyou. Was the world going to fall into chaos?

Gu Youyou nudged Banxia, and she came back to her senses.

"Go on then, since he’s come to our clinic, he is a patient of the clinic."

"Ah...? Right, I’ll go now." Banxia hurried off to the backyard.

Yue Rujing humphed, "Your husband beat me, you’re responsible for curing me."

Well, still so full of himself despite it all?

Gu Youyou raised her chin and arched an eyebrow, "You brought it on yourself."

Seeing Yue Rujing glaring back furiously, Gu Youyou then continued, "Since you’ve come to me, of course I’ll have to heal you. I run a clinic for business, I can’t very well smash my own signboard. However..."

Yue Rujing, growing nervous at her mischievous smile, watched her warily and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Gu Youyou chuckled lightly, "Don’t get worked up, you’re injured, it’s best not to have such great emotional fluctuations. I’m not planning to do anything, I simply want to remind the Young Master in advance, don’t forget about the silver."

She was a doctor, but also a businesswoman. As long as the patient paid the consultation fee, any treatment would do.

Yue Rujing sighed with relief and looked at her sarcastically as his arm stiffly fished out an intricately embroidered cloud-patterned purse from his waist and tossed it towards Gu Youyou.

Gu Youyou knew it was silver, and she reached out to catch it.

She checked it and saw it wasn’t a small amount. Her attitude improved considerably as she said, "There, paying with silver works. I was actually worried that your words about your husband beating me and your responsibility to cure me were a ploy to swindle my consultation and medication fees."

Yue Rujing’s lips twitched violently, "You materialistic woman, with nothing but silver in your eyes. As the esteemed Young Master of Lingnan, could I possibly swindle your medicine fee?"

"One can never be sure. After all, your earlier words were misleading. I’m just a humble female doctor, everything in this clinic costs money, so I’m just being practical."

Immediately after, she pocketed the silver, properly recording it, before sitting down beside Yue Rujing to examine his injuries.

Banxia, having brought over the cushion, stood by, ready to assist Gu Youyou.

She began with his face; after three days, the bruises on his face were turning purplish-black but were no longer a serious concern.

Jin Zijin had acted with restraint, only causing superficial damage. Though it looked severe, in reality, it would heal in just a few days even without any medication.

He had intentionally been made to appear like this, evidently anticipating that he would seek out Gu Youyou for treatment.

He was showing her that he had avenged her, regardless of whether the perpetrator was his junior disciple—he would be taught a lesson for bullying Gu Youyou.

After the examination, Gu Youyou said with a smile, "It’s just a superficial skin injury, it’ll heal in a few days. There was no need for you to come to me for this, you quack!"

He had learned medical skills himself and shouldn’t be too bad at it, though certainly not as good as Gu Youyou.

Yue Rujing shot her a glance and said, "I’m aware of Doctor Gu’s exceptional medical skills, but there’s no need to belittle me. I haven’t been home in three days, and I can’t keep it hidden any longer. Administer the medicine, I must return by tomorrow at the latest, and no one must be able to tell I’m injured."

"Oh, is that so?" Gu Youyou raised her eyebrows and said, "There is medicine for quick healing and there is medicine for slow healing, but the price is very different. That bag of silver you just gave..."
