Finally, he couldn't stand the scorching sun anymore. After wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, he looked at Zhang Feiteng and said cautiously, "Master Zhang, it's too hot outside. Can I go to the guest hall to rest for a while?"

Hearing this, Zhang Feiteng's face darkened and he called out in a cold voice, "Butler."

After shouting, he turned and walked directly towards Zhang He's room.

Seeing this, Butler Zhang gestured to Doctor Jiang and said, "Doctor Jiang, please come in."

After Zhang Feiteng entered Zhang He's room, he heard Zhang Min crying to Mrs. Zhang, and her words were full of accusations against Ning Yan and others.

Seeing Zhang Feiteng come in, Zhang Min continued to complain: "Mom, my eldest brother actually sided with them. He actually believed that a young man from the countryside could cure my second brother's illness. My second brother is already unconscious. What if something happens to him again?

Even if I kill that little brother and his family, it’s not as important as my second brother’s life.”

Li Huihe had been worried about her youngest son's condition for days, and her face looked a little tired. After hearing Zhang Min's words, her face looked even uglier. She looked at Zhang Feiteng and asked, "Feiteng, what's going on? Why did you bring the person who bullied your sister back home?

I also heard from your sister that the guy asked for an exorbitant price, 500 taels of silver for the consultation, and he required payment in advance before he could see the doctor?"

In ancient times, when people went to the clinic to see a doctor, the money they paid was generally divided into two parts: one was the consultation fee, and the other was the money for the medicine.

The general consultation fee ranges from 5 to 10 cents. The specific amount depends mainly on the doctor. Generally, as long as you let the doctor take your pulse, the fee will be charged regardless of whether you will get medicine later.

As for how much the medicine costs, it depends on your condition. Different diseases require different medicinal materials, and the prices of different medicinal materials are naturally different. This part of the money is also the main expense of seeing a doctor.

Ning Yan asked for 500 taels of silver as his consultation fee. For some doctors, this amount of money might not be enough to earn in half a lifetime of practicing medicine.

Although the Shangshu Mansion was wealthy, they could not afford such an exorbitant price. 500 taels of silver was enough to cover the mansion's expenses for ten days.

She wasn't so generous as to give so much money to a country boy for free. To be more precise, she wouldn't give so much money to a boy who bullied her daughter.

After hearing this, Zhang Feiteng explained, "Mother, I did this for my younger brother. Although his request was unreasonable, it is most important that he can cure my younger brother's illness.

Besides, Doctor Jiang said that this guy can cure the plague, and Deputy Commander Han also knows this. Unless he doesn't want to live, he wouldn't tell such a lie."

"And..." Zhang Feiteng glanced at Zhang Min with a slightly gloomy expression, and then continued: "My little sister is becoming more and more unruly. She doesn't even take me, her big brother, seriously."

"How could I?" Zhang Min argued weakly, "This is my home, my second brother's yard, why should I go out?

"Mom, didn't you hear that? That person even asked me to make tea for them. How could he, a lowly person, afford to drink my tea? You and Dad have never asked me to make tea for you. If I were to make tea for them, where would your face be? Where would the reputation of our Zhang family be?"

As she spoke, she became angry again and said without restraint: "Brother, did you let them in because that boy is pretty? Do you want to use this as an excuse to get close to him?"

She saw that the eldest brother looked at that boy with unusual eyes and attitude.

"Zhang Min."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a burst of angry roar, which scared her so much that she couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.

When she looked up, she saw Zhang Feiteng staring at her sternly. Only then did Zhang Min realize that she had said something too much.

The eldest brother is the eldest son in the family. If someone spreads the news that Zhang Feiteng likes a married man, the eldest brother's reputation will definitely be damaged, and the family will also be implicated.

But she didn't want to admit her mistake. She absolutely didn't agree to let Ning Yan into the house, and she would not let these two people drive her out of her second brother's yard. So she turned to Li Huihe and said coquettishly, "Mom, have someone drive them out."

After hearing what Zhang Feiteng said, Li Huihe's mind changed a little. Her youngest son had been ill for three days and fell into a coma today. If this disease was not cured, even if he woke up later, he would probably become a disabled person.

Li Huihe naturally didn't want to see this happen.

Although the brothers had not yet found out the truth, the eldest son was right and there was no need for him to lie to them, especially since Doctor Jiang was right beside them.

But the palms and backs of her hands were all made of flesh, and after hearing Zhang Min's words, she patted her hands and said gently to comfort her, "Xiao Min, go back to your yard and rest for a while. Mother recently got a new set of jewelry. Go find Aunt Li and ask her to give it to you."

As for making tea, we can just find a servant to do it. No matter how arrogant that guy is, we can't let our own daughter make tea for them in front of them. If that happens, the Zhang family will not tolerate it and will definitely teach him a lesson.

Although the words were said in a tactful way, Zhang Min still understood the meaning behind them. Isn't this just a disguised way of driving her away?

So she pulled back Li Huihe's hand and shouted sharply, "Mom, are you going to side with them too?"

"Your second brother is still in a coma. How can mother not let them try? If he continues to be in a coma, will he be dead?" Li Huihe said to Zhang Min with a slightly gloomy expression.

After hearing this, Zhang Min didn't know what to say in rebuttal. If she didn't leave, and something happened to her second brother, wouldn't it be her responsibility in the end?

But she was unwilling to be kicked out like this, so she sat on the chair stubbornly without saying a word.

She knew that she would be marrying the fifth prince in the future, and that this was a prince who had the hope of inheriting the throne, so her elder brother and mother sometimes couldn't do anything to her, so she felt somewhat fearless.

Zhang Feiteng was furious when his unformed thoughts were suddenly exposed. But now, seeing Zhang Min like this, he suppressed his temper and said:

"You don't take me and mother seriously even before you get married. If you get married, can we still count on your support? If that's the case, when Dad comes back, I'll just talk to him about finding you a new marriage, so that you don't come back to step on our family when you become successful in the future."

Minister Zhang went to court today and has not returned home yet. Zhang Feiteng has already grown up and has a certain say in the affairs of the mansion. If he really proposed this to Minister Zhang, then this marriage might really be ruined.

"Brother, don't." Zhang Min said in panic after hearing Zhang Feiteng's words.

She doesn't want to marry anyone else, she only wants to marry Brother Ting.

But if she agreed to this now, she would have to go out today, which made her a little unwilling. She was unwilling to be fooled by that guy.
