The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1218 - Chapter 1218 1218

Chapter 1218: 1218 Chapter 1218: 1218 Xiao Yuchuan rushed over and yanked him down.

“Ouch!” The voice from atop the wall crashed to the ground, letting out a miserable cry.

Hearing the voice, Su Qingyue saw him and couldn’t help but ask coldly, “It’s you.”

Gao Shen climbed up from the ground, “Isn’t it just me.”

He stood up, covered in dust, “Miss Su, hello…”

“Young Master, are you alright?” The voice of housekeeper Gao Jia was anxiously calling from outside the courtyard.

“I won’t die!” Gao Shen shouted back loudly.

“As long as Young Master isn’t dead, that’s good…” Gao Jia seemed much relieved by the sound of his voice.

“Young Master Gao, didn’t you say you were going back to Liuan Town?

It’s not my business if you don’t go back.

But is it really okay for you to break into someone’s house like this in the dead of night?” Su Qingyue’s gaze was ice-cold.

“I didn’t break into someone’s house, this is my…

home…” He scratched his head sheepishly towards the end, “Well, divine doctor, I sold you the house.

I still owe you a debt for saving my life.

It’s just that I…”

“What is it?”

He awkwardly rubbed his hands, “I was supposed to complete the house deed transfer today and then leave town for Liuan Town.

You know, after I paid your consultation fee, I only had nine taels of silver left.

On the way to Liuan Town, which is three hundred miles, I’ll need to pay for lodging, food, and such.

Unfortunately, after leaving town, I realized that the nine taels of silver had disappeared somehow…

Without money, wouldn’t I freeze and starve on the road?

Although I have some relatives in town, I don’t want those people to laugh at me.

Divine doctor, we have a bit of a relationship, can you…

.Co

lend me some silver?”

“So, you came to borrow money.” Xiao Yuchuan spoke, “Why didn’t you use the front door?”

“I knocked on the outside of the front door for a long time, but no one opened it.”

Yuchuan then remembered, “This place is too far from the main gate; the backyard can’t hear anything from the front courtyard outside the main gate.”

Gao Shen looked around, “Such a large residence, even if it’s an abandoned house, should have a few servants.”

“Brother Gao need not worry about it.”

“With no one answering the door, I had to go around to the backyard to climb the wall.

Climbing the wall in the front yard, if someone saw, they might think I’m up to no good.” He looked at Su Qingyue with a forlorn face, “I didn’t expect to overhear such an irritating story about the imperial concubine and the eunuch.”

Su Qingyue took a ten-tael silver ingot from her sleeve pocket and tossed it to him, “Here, as a reward, you don’t need to pay it back.”

“…” Gao Shen’s facial expression stiffened for a moment, “Divine doctor, you’re so rich and yet so stingy, only ten taels…”

“That’s enough for you to eat well and stay at a high-end inn along the way.

No more complaints, or you won’t get a thing.”

“Alright then.” Gao Shen pocketed the money, “The night has already gotten so dark.

As someone with money, travelling in the dark is unsafe, In case I get robbed on the road…”

“You said you had no money, who would rob you?”

“I look handsome, don’t I.” Gao Shen flicked open his folding fan, “In case someone tries to abduct me for my looks…”

“Then you might as well succumb.”

“Divine doctor, just let me stay for one night, this vast homestead surely won’t mind an extra bed.”

Xiao Yuchuan intended to object, but Su Qingyue said with a smile, “Then as you wish.”

Gao Shen looked at her bewitchingly beautiful smile, his heart thumping wildly.

He had relatives in town and, with his wealth, borrowing money would have been easy; he had deliberately come to get cozy with the divine doctor.

Not only to gaze upon a beautiful woman but also in case he ever fell ill with something incurable, he could still seek the divine doctor’s help.
