Chapter 161: The fox has a great background
Zihu was satisfied with Bai Sui'an's awareness of precaution.
Like Bai Sui'an, he didn't answer the question directly. "That was when I was young. Now that I've taken over the family business, I'm incredibly busy every day. I only have time to play when I come to seek medical treatment."
"Really? What business does your family run?"
Bai Sui'an pressed on, saying that once she gained the advantage, she would not allow herself to be passive again.
Zihu laughed and shook his head. "There's nothing much to say. Let's talk about you, Madam Bai. I must have disturbed you by coming to your house to seek medical treatment. Why don't you tell me about your preferences or what you lack at home so that I can prepare a small gift to thank you."
"Let's talk about it after the doctor comes and sees us. If you really want me to help you, just pay the consultation fee. I don't really need any gifts."
"Madam is a straightforward person. I love interacting with people like you. I hope we can have more opportunities to spend time together in the future."
"We are just ordinary farmers, how could we deal with businessmen?" Bai Sui'an said with a smile.
She observed the fox's figure. Even though his clothes were blocking his view, she could still see his strong arms and stable core.
I can confirm that the person in front of me is a martial artist.
The inherent nobility of a person can prove that he or she is indeed from a wealthy family, but it is not certain whether he or she is a businessman.
He has the composure of a person in power, but not the cunningness of a businessman.
Zihu smiled faintly: "Madam, don't you have a close relationship with Feiyun Department Store? You are doing me a favor by helping me. Naturally, my family will treat you as an honored guest."
"Only those who come to visit are guests. They may not come yet, so it's too early to say anything."
Bai Sui'an smiled with some annoyance.
I stayed here to test the other party's strength, but I didn't expect that after going around in circles for so long, they were still being polite.
I guess she doesn't like to be polite to others.
But there is still that gold ingot on the table, so whether this money can be earned well still needs some evaluation.
Fortunately, A Yan came up soon, and neither of them spoke while he poured tea and water.
His movements were quick and hasty. As a clerk at Feiyun Department Store, he had never been so flustered when meeting customers.
Bai Sui'an took A Yan's actions into consideration but did not point it out directly.
Instead, he asked, "When will Uncle Cheng come back?"
A Yan put down the teapot and replied, "It's almost there. The place is not far from here, just a few blocks away. We should be there soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received Bai Sui'an's gaze.
My heart tightened and I left immediately with my head down.
He was so flustered that he forgot what he said when Bai Sui'an came.
The reason he brought Bai Sui'an up was that he didn't know where the doctors he had invited lived.
But when Bai Sui'an asked just now, he was able to say that the place was not far from here.
Bai Sui'an's visit to this fox boy was deliberately arranged by Feiyun Department Store.
And judging from the reactions of A Yan and Cheng Xu, this fox boy must be from a prominent background.
Is there any important figure named Zihu in Qianheng Kingdom? Or is this just a pseudonym?
Bai Sui'an couldn't imagine that there was such a person.
Neither she nor the original owner in her memory were familiar with the people of this country.
Zihu slowly sipped the hot tea that had just been poured. He didn't say anything, and Bai Sui'an was too lazy to be polite with him.
Cheng Xu finally arrived. While the doctor and Zihu were taking his pulse, Bai Sui'an pulled Cheng Xu out to question him alone.
"Who is that person inside?"
Maybe A Yan said something to him when he came back, and now Cheng Xu is smiling again:
"Of course he's our distinguished guest. He was very generous and placed an order for a lot of goods right away. This is all thanks to Madam. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a small business like us to make so much money in one go."
"Because he ordered a lot of goods, he told you that he wanted me to treat him?" Bai Sui'an asked with narrowed eyes.
Cheng Xu's eyesight was not good to begin with, so he kept a certain distance from Bai Sui'an so as not to feel guilty about seeing Bai Sui'an's expression.
He said, "Of course. Only distinguished guests would be allowed upstairs to sign the contract with us. That's when he mentioned he wanted to see you. It just so happened that he heard from the people downstairs that you had entered the town, so he waited a little longer for you."
"Did you also arrange for the increase in spies in the town?" Bai Sui'an asked.
Cheng Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't the government secretly interrogate those two prisoners yesterday and decide on a date for execution? I was afraid that the Tianxuan people hiding in the town might make some moves, so I arranged a few more people."
What he said was reasonable, but Bai Sui'an always felt that these words were not enough to clear the suspicion about Zihu's identity.
Feiyun Department Store belongs to Ye Lingche. These people would not let dangerous people in. They would protect her so much but not tell her the truth.
Either he was coerced, or Zihu's identity could not be disclosed directly, and Zihu's position was no lower than Ye Lingche's.
Such a person must be from the palace.
When they first met, Bai Sui'an felt that Zihu looked somewhat familiar. Was he perhaps Ye Lingche's brother?
Ask when you get back.
The doctor came out, and Cheng Xu greeted him: "Mr. Mu, how is his pulse?"
Mu Lin is Ning Heyuan's senior brother and is older than Ning Heyuan.
He said weakly, "It is indeed as my junior brother said. This is a strange poison from Tianxuan Country. There are no obvious symptoms when poisoned. The incubation period is long. Only when the disease is about to break out will the pulse show abnormalities. Once it breaks out, it is very difficult to treat."
Bai Sui'an seemed to be lost in thought. Mu Lin looked at her and said, "Miss Bai, my junior fellow apprentice said that you are quite accomplished in detoxification. I hope you can lend a hand and save this innocent life."
Mu Lin is a fellow disciple of Ning Heyuan, so Bai Sui'an naturally trusts him.
"Then I'll prepare the medicine and send it over to him later. Uncle Cheng will give it to him."
"This..." Cheng Xu looked inside and saw Zihu nodded slightly, then he said, "Okay."
Mu Lin was a little confused: "Girl, why don't you go and see what kind of poison he was poisoned with?"
There are many cases of strange poisons in Tianxuan Country with such symptoms. He had just finished taking the pulse, and Bai Sui'an went to prepare medicine without even looking at it. It was really strange.
I don't know if he can learn this skill.
Bai Sui'an couldn't speak directly, so he could only pretend to be profound and said, "I already had a rough idea of the situation when we met just now. I'll prepare some medicine and it will be fine soon."
After saying that, Bai Sui'an walked into the house, picked up the gold ingot, smiled at Zihu, and went out to find Cheng Xu.
"I don't know how to spend this big gold ingot. Can Uncle Cheng help me change it into silver?"
The fox in the room held her forehead helplessly. She had just heard Bai Sui'an's tone when talking to her, which was so unfamiliar. She had thought that he was not a greedy person. She didn't expect that he would take the gold ingot and leave without any hesitation.
What a straightforward person.
Cheng Xu outside was a little amused when he took the gold ingot, but he still nodded to Bai Sui'an with a smile: "Of course, wait for me for a while."
"Don't worry, I'll go get the medicine. Doctor Mu, please wait here for a while. I'll drive the carriage over to pick you up."
