Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Can Even the Consultation Fee be Saved?
Since the Eldest Prince didn’t initially ntion that Lin Caisang was in the Princess’ Mansion, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to bring it up first.
Everyone knew it already but if he were the one to voice it out, it would suggest that he had indeed been keeping an eye on the Princess’ Mansion. If the Eldest Prince decided to bla him for this, he would invariably bear the brunt of it.
“General Zhi, you have arrived at an opportune ti. It just so happens that Miss Lin is at the Princess’ Mansion,” the Eldest Prince remarked casually upon seeing that he chose to remain silent.
“Really?”
Zhi Lingyang feigned ignorance, questioning the Prince.
“Your Highness, may I be permitted to see Miss Lin now?”
“There is no need for a visit. Miss Lin is a maiden and it is quite inappropriate for her to et an outsider like General Zhi at this late hour,” the Eldest Prince denied outright.
Zhi Lingyang: “…”
A maiden? An outsider?
Your Highness, are you sure your description is accurate?
If Lin Caisang were a Commandery Princess of the Princess’ Mansion, it would be inconvenient to et with him, an outsider. But clearly, Lin Caisang is a maiden. What is wrong with eting the relative of a patient seeking dical treatnt?
Although he felt this way, he found himself tongue-tied.
Having offended Lin Caisang once, if he insisted on a eting now, it would likely cause utter offence. By then, there would be no redy available.
“Then what does Your Highness an…”
All he could do was seek clarification from the Eldest Prince.
“It’s not my intention, but Miss Lin’s. She said that all the preparations she needs for the treatnt have been made. General Zhi, if your wife still needs treatnt, wait at ho early tomorrow. She will personally co over to treat your wife,” the Eldest Prince explained.
“Really?”
On hearing this, Zhi Lingyang couldn’t conceal his excitent.
It seems that Miss Lin is not one who is difficult to deal with. That day, she must have been provoked by Jin Lele beyond asure, which explains why she snubbed them. He should have stopped Lele.
“Then I should go and make preparations right now.”
With these words, he stood up without a second thought, ready to head ho.
“Hold on.”
On seeing his eager departure, the Eldest Prince couldn’t help but find it amusing.
“General Zhi, haven’t you forgotten sothing?” He asked.
“What else? Shouldn’t I be heading ho to prepare now, Your Highness?” Zhi Lingyang turned to ask the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince: “…”
No wonder Lin Caisang was so livid that she walked off. Just about anyone would be irritated by a man like Zhi Lingyang.
“General Zhi, allow
to remind you. In order to seek dical treatnt, my esteed father once gave away a Death Exemption Token,” he reminded Zhi Lingyang.
As far as he knew, when Lin Caisang paid a visit to Zhi Lingyang’s Mansion, the dical fee was never discussed. They had pressured her to treat Senior Madam Zhi’s facial injury that very day, hadn’t they?
“Are you planning to save on the dical fee if Miss Lin cannot cure your wife’s facial injury?” he posed a question.
“This…”
Zhi Lingyang was taken aback.
He hadn’t considered this issue. In the past, whenever they invited doctors over to treat illnesses at his mansion, they simply let the doctor accompany their servant to the treasury to collect a dozen or so silver taels before leaving. Even when imperial physicians were invited, the procedure was the sa.
But this ti…
The female physician he had invited had treated the Eldest Princess, possessed a Death Exemption Token, and she was notoriously quirky.
As for how much he should pay her for the dical consultation, he was at a loss.
“Your Highness, what do you suggest?”
