The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: 49 New Year Greetings

Shopkeeper He, after escaping the villa, didn’t leave immediately but instead waited at a nearby spot, observing the villa’s movements.

Seeing the young master nearing death, he wondered if that fool at the Hu family would blindly proceed.

If the young master dies under his treatment, the Hu family would perhaps have nowhere to turn to!

As Shopkeeper He was overjoyed by this thought, he saw Gu Jiao and her two companions emerging from the villa, unscathed.

He was taken aback.

What happened?

Did the young master not die? Or did they, like him, flee without treating him at all?

But looking at their composed demeanor, that didn’t seem to be the case…

While Shopkeeper He stood there, dumbstruck, Gu Jiao and her companions boarded a carriage to go to Director Li’s residence.

That maid named Yu Ya came running out: “Hey! You from the Huichun Hall! Wait for me!”

But the carriage had already gone too far to hear her shouts.

Yu Ya, leaning against the gateway, was gasping for breath.

Shopkeeper He emerged from behind a large tree and approached her, asking, “Miss, did something happen to the three of them?”

Yu Ya responded, “What could have happened to them? It’s my family’s young master…”

Shopkeeper He’s eyes lit up!

Did the young master really die from their treatment?

Yu Ya paused to catch her breath, then continued, “My family’s young master has woken up, and he’s throwing a huge tantrum!”

Shopkeeper He understood each word she said, but putting them together left him confused: “Do you mean the young master’s illness…”

“The Huichun Hall really has a miracle doctor! Our young master woke up! He’s even got the energy to get angry!” Yu Ya was incredibly happy, her young master tore up four of the Marquis’s antique paintings in one breath, he hasn’t been this lively in a full year!

Shopkeeper He admitted he was having some difficulty following her line of thought…

Yu Ya sighed with regret, “We were too ecstatic, and we forgot to pay them their consultation fee!”

“Wait, you mean… They …” Shopkeeper He couldn’t bring himself to finish the sentence, finding it absolutely improbable!

To his surprise, Yu Ya nodded vigorously, “Yes! Yes! They were the ones who revived our young master!”

This must be a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat!

Shopkeeper He couldn’t believe for a second that a physician from a small town could be this skilled, but that wasn’t going to stop him from taking credit for it!

“Indeed, our Huichun Hall provides miraculous revivals!”

“What’s it to you?”

Yu Ya rolled her eyes at him.

“I…” Shopkeeper He awkwardly laughed, “That person is our Huichun Hall’s subordinate, the master at the Hu family!”

Yu Ya sneered, “Weren’t they just name-twins? They’re from the town’s Huichun Hall, and you are from the capital city’s Huichun Hall! There’s no relation between the two! They and the Hu family have no connections! Have you already forgotten the words that you said? Hehehe!”

—

After such a near-death experience, the subordinate at Huichun Hall could hardly remember to ask for his consultation fee! Gu Jiao did remember, but she assumed he had collected it.

By the time their carriage reached Director Li’s house, he had just returned from fishing. Shedding off his formal academy attire, he donned the clothes of a fisherman complete with a fisherman’s hat and raincoat. At first glance, he looked just like any other fisherman.

Of course, on closer examination, one could still discern his extraordinary demeanor and manner of speech.

Gu Jiao and the second master at Huichun Hall disembarked from the carriage.

“You are?” Director Li didn’t recognize Gu Jiao nor did he know the second master at all.
