Gu Shuo hurried out. Gu Lingyue frowned. What were the Shen family members doing here? Could it be...

Seeing this, Liu looked at Madam Gu and pleaded, "Mother, let's ask Master to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician. The imperial physician will definitely be able to cure Yun'er without having to saw off her legs."

As he spoke, he started to cry, "If Yun'er's legs were sawed off, what would he do in the future?"

Mrs. Gu also hesitated. Of course she would be willing to save Gu Chenyun's life if she didn't have to saw off his legs.

Seeing this, Liu shouted at Gu Lingyue, "Get out of here! Get out of here! You liar! My master will go to the palace to get the imperial physician back soon. My Yun'er will never let you treat her."

Gu Lingyue curled her lips and said, "Goodbye." Then she left the house.

At the same time, outside, a somewhat wealthy, round-faced, elderly man saluted Gu Shuo and said, "Master Gu, please forgive me for coming here without your permission. It is really presumptuous."

"It's okay." Gu Shuo said indifferently: "I don't know why Butler Niu came to the Gu Mansion..."

The Shen family is the queen's maiden family and the prince's maternal grandfather's family. He is a member of the prince's party, and the two families usually have a good relationship.

Butler Niu didn't care about anything else and asked anxiously, "I heard that a Taoist priest came to your house. I wonder where he is now? Can you let me meet with that Taoist priest?"

Gu Shuo looked at Butler Niu with a puzzled look on his face. "We have a Taoist priest in our house, but I wonder if he is the one Butler Niu is looking for?"

As he was speaking, Gu Lingyue came out and looked at the housekeeper Niu and said, "Are you looking for me?"

The steward of the General Fuguo’s Mansion was in the original owner’s memory, but he was in disguise now and he didn’t recognize himself.

Butler Niu saw a Taoist priest coming out of the house with a banner in his hand. He thought that this must be the "immortal" that people on the street were talking about.

"Master Taoist, please come with me to the general's mansion to check on our young master. He has also been bitten by a snake." Butler Niu hurriedly went to meet Gu Lingyue and said.

Gu Lingyue understood in her heart that she was right.

Gu Shuo frowned. The young master of the general's family was also bitten by a snake. How could it be such a coincidence?

He had a guess in his mind, but he felt it was impossible.

With the people under Tang's command, it would be okay for him to release a snake in his own house, but it would be absolutely impossible for him to release a snake in the general's house.

It is spring now, the time when snakes are most active, so it may just be a coincidence.

However, people from the General's Mansion came to ask for help from this Taoist priest. Could it be that the imperial physician cannot detoxify him?

Gu Shuo had a question in his mind, so he asked, "Butler Niu, didn't the general go to the palace to ask for the imperial physician?"

Steward Niu sighed, "The Empress sent two imperial physicians to the mansion to treat the young master, but unfortunately, neither was effective. Finally, one physician suggested amputating a limb to save his life, but the young master had been poisoned for quite some time, and even after his hand was severed, he still didn't wake up. With no other options, the General sent me down to invite the Taoist priest."

Gu Shuo understood that this was a matter of trying everything possible!

Since the Queen sent an imperial physician to the General's Mansion but failed to cure the young master, could he cure his own son by asking the imperial physician to come?

The answer is definitely no.

Gu Shuo couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest beside him. It seemed that he could only try his best to save the situation.

Butler Niu looked at Gu Lingyue, waiting for her reply.

Before Gu Lingyue could speak, Gu Shuo spoke first: "To be honest, my son was also bitten by a snake. Since the Taoist priest is at the Gu family now, it won't be too late to ask the Taoist priest to treat my son first and then treat Young Master Shen."

He said this to Gu Lingyue as well as to Butler Niu.

Butler Niu's face darkened.

How long would it take? Any later and his young master would be dead.

Gu Lingyue looked at Gu Shuo and said sarcastically, "I'm sorry, your wife just said I was a liar and told me to get out. I was just about to leave."

"That's perfect. Come to our general's mansion. As long as you can wake up our young master, you will be our mansion's great benefactor, and the mansion will thank you very much." Butler Niu said loudly and excitedly.

Gu Lingyue scratched his ears with his hands and said, "Please don't speak too loudly. I am not hard of hearing."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention." Butler Niu said in a low voice.

Gu Lingyue showed a satisfied smile on her face, looked at him and said: "The people in the Gu Mansion also said what you said just now, but after I told them how to save people, they told me to get out, saying that I was a liar. I don't want to be kicked out again."

"No, no, as long as you can save our young master, we will do whatever you say." Butler Niu promised.

"In that case, let's talk about the consultation fee. I don't want to go there and you say you can't cure me, wasting my time trying to earn money."

Gu Shuo: ...

Niu Guanjia: ...

Do Taoists love money so much?

"The consultation fee is easy to negotiate." Butler Niu said quickly, "As long as you can wake up our young master, your fee will be indispensable."

"No, it's better to keep the agreement." Gu Lingyue insisted.

"Then tell me how much the consultation fee is." Butler Niu said helplessly.

He thought to himself, how could such a dignified general's mansion suffer such a loss?

Gu Lingyue raised a finger.

"Okay, come with me."

He can still make the decision over a mere one hundred taels of silver.

"Can you make the decision? Don't you need to go back and ask your master?" Gu Lingyue reminded.

"No need, it's just one hundred taels. I'll make the decision for my master."

Gu Lingyue shook her head, "It's ten thousand taels."

"One... ten thousand taels of silver?" Butler Niu asked in disbelief. This medical fee was too high.

Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "It's ten thousand taels of gold."

Butler Niu was shocked again. Even if he had the courage to do so, he would not dare to make the decision for his master even if he was given 12,000 taels of gold.

Gu Shuo was also shocked. Who on earth was this Taoist priest? How dare he ask for 10,000 taels of gold?!

Gu Lingyue ignored them and said calmly, "If you can't make a decision, go back and ask your master. I'm going to Fulongxuan across the street to have dinner. But you better hurry up. I'm afraid that even if I can wait, your young master can't."

After finishing speaking, she was about to leave when she suddenly heard the cries of Liu and Madam Gu from inside the room. "Yun'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother~"

"Hurry, come quickly." The ancient lady called out loudly.

Seeing this, Butler Niu was afraid that his young master might not make it either, so he quickly said, "Please wait, I will go back and report to my master right away."

"it is good."

Gu Ling was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Gu Shuo, "You can't leave."

Gu Lingyue sneered and glanced at the hand that was holding her clothes. "Are you planning to blackmail me? I haven't prescribed medicine for you yet."

"No, no, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Gu Shuo quickly let go of his hand and explained to Gu Lingyue: "I want you to help my son treat his illness."

"Oh~" Gu Ling also sneered, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a liar?"

"If you were truly a liar, you wouldn't have asked Butler Niu for 12,000 taels of gold even though you knew his identity," Gu Shuo said seriously. "And if you're unwilling to treat my son's illness, there's nothing I can do about it."

Gu Lingyue glanced at Gu Shuo with contempt, "You are quite clever, but it is not impossible for me to treat your son, but the consultation fee..."

"I know, ten thousand taels of gold."

Although it is a bit expensive, it is worth it if it can save my son's life.
