Doctor Zhao mentioned that he wanted to detoxify Young Master Tan and saw this as a rare opportunity to use Ah Ning as a teaching case.
Shu Yu understood the situation and sat back down, saying, "No hurry, Master Tan. Let's continue our discussion."
Both Master and Madam Tan frowned at the same time, thinking that Shu Yu wanted to hold them accountable for secretly detaining them.
Madam Tan's face turned cold. She hadn't even come to settle accounts with them yet, and now this Village Lord had the audacity to blame them?
However, in the next moment, Shu Yu said, "Let me introduce my grandfather. Although he doesn't have much reputation in Dong'an Prefecture, he has accumulated considerable experience from his many years of traveling. People in the martial world call him 'Saintly Doctor Zhao.'"
Master and Madam Tan's impatient expressions froze at once, and they stood up with a thud.
"What did you just say? Who is he?" Master Tan asked urgently, staring at doctor Zhao.
Shu Yu nodded, "Allow me to introduce him. My grandfather's surname is Zhao, and he is skilled in rejuvenating medical arts. However, he values his freedom and has been wandering for many years, so not many people know about him."
"No, we know." Master Tan said eagerly and then looked at doctor Zhao with wide eyes.
Young Master Tan was seriously ill, and they had searched all over Dong'an Prefecture for doctors, even taking him to the capital for medical treatment. They even asked their cousin, who was an official in the capital, to inquire about court physicians. Although they couldn't get the Chief Physician of the Imperial Hospital, they found someone with considerable medical skills. However, none of them could cure Young Master Tan's illness.
However, because the Tan family had been inquiring everywhere for highly skilled doctors, the name 'Saintly Doctor Zhao' was well-known.
But since doctor Zhao was always on the move and his background was unclear, they couldn't find him.
Now, the Village Lord was saying that this person was here and that he was the one they had recently treated as a swindler and locked up?
Master Tan was somewhat incredulous, "Village Lord, are you telling the truth?"
Shu Yu nodded, "Of course, I have no reason to deceive you. Although I haven't seen Young Master Tan and don't know the specifics of his condition, my grandfather said he was poisoned, and that is probably accurate. Of course, you don't have to believe me. I just wanted to clarify that my grandfather is not a swindler. If you have concerns, I can take him away now."
Doctor Zhao snorted and called Ah Ning. He turned to leave.
Shu Yu nodded politely to the Tan couple, "Goodbye."
Just as they were about to leave, Master Tan suddenly came to his senses, "Wait, wait."
He hurried a few steps and blocked their path. Then he looked at doctor Zhao, still somewhat dazed.
After all, he never expected that the person he had been desperately searching for, who had left no traces, would suddenly appear before him like this.
However, the Village Lord shouldn't lie to him. Moreover, this old man had indeed been able to come and go freely with a child in their house, which was not something an ordinary old man could do.
Master Tan's mind was racing with various thoughts.
Finally, he took a deep breath and became more respectful in his attitude, "Earlier, I was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai. Coupled with my worries about my son's illness, I misunderstood Saintly Doctor Zhao. I have offended you. I hope you can forgive me. In that case, I will make it up to you."
Doctor Zhao put on an inscrutable look, and Ah Ning, who was by his side, looked at him and asked, "Do you want my master to treat Young Master Tan?"
