After Yu Banxia left, he picked up the bundle on the table, opened it, and took out clean clothes to change into.

When he went outside again, Yu Banxia was sitting in the courtyard chatting happily with Zhao Zhongxian. He could see clearly that when the little girl saw him, her eyes lit up slightly.

He did indeed harbor ill intentions towards this little girl; from the first moment he saw her, he felt a fondness for her.

He had thought he might not live much longer, so he dared not have any thoughts. After taking a medicinal bath, he felt much more relaxed, and even his internal strength had improved considerably.

Now that he's not going to die and has met a lovely girl who captures his heart, he'll naturally work hard to win her heart.

He fell in love with the little girl at first sight, and the little girl seemed to have some feelings for him as well.

Since that's the case, he wouldn't mind using his good looks to his advantage.

The little girl has a secret, and to prevent her from being used or harmed in the future, he is willing to protect her with his life and keep her under his wing.

"You don't have a closet full of dark, navy blue, and other dark-colored clothes, do you?" Yu Banxia asked curiously.

Uncle Yanping raised his eyebrows and nodded, mimicking her gesture: "Dr. Yu's guess was indeed very accurate."

“I’ve already spoken with Uncle Zhong. You can stay in this room for now. I will give you acupuncture again in three days. After about two more treatments, the remaining toxins in your body will be cleared away.”

Yu Banxia poured him a cup of tea and then said.

Uncle Yanping was stunned. The poison that had caused him so much pain for years, a deadly poison that had baffled all the imperial physicians and doctors, could be cured in just three doses in her hands.

Such a capable young girl, if that person finds out, he will definitely try every means to get his hands on her.

It seems he needs to meet with Doctor Zhao to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the little girl and harming her.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Yu, for saving my life."

"Are you married? Are you engaged?" Yu Banxia suddenly asked.

Uncle Yanping's brow twitched, and he replied frankly, "I have no wife or betrothal. Do you want me to repay your life-saving grace by offering myself to you?"

Yu Banxia's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly waved her hands, saying, "You, you misunderstood, that's not it."

"After the poison in your body is cleared, you need to abstain from drugs for six months. If you have a wife, you need to be careful."

"If there is an engagement, it is best to postpone the marriage."

When Uncle Yanping saw the usually composed young girl suddenly blush and explain in a flustered manner, his mood instantly improved.

Watching the interaction between the two, Zhao Zhongxian suddenly looked at Uncle Yanping with suspicion.

Could it be that this person has taken a liking to our young boss?

No, he has to deliver a message to his master first. What if the young master gets lured away right under his nose?

The old master would surely skin him alive!

"Young master, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead and do your work. This old servant will take care of Young Master Yan."

Zhao Zhongxian quickly spoke up.

Yu Banxia nodded and actually got up: "Alright, I'll be going now. The restaurant opens tomorrow, and I really need to go back and prepare."

"Yes, yes, if the young master needs any manpower or assistance, please feel free to send someone to let me know." Zhao Zhongxian respectfully saw her out of the pharmacy.

Just as she stepped outside, she saw Erniu approaching: "Miss Yu, someone from the village is looking for you. Grandpa Village Chief asked me to come and take you back."

"Huh? Do you know who did what?" Yu Banxia asked Erniu.

Erniu nodded: "It was Manager Ge who brought them. They must be his relatives. They said they came to discuss buying some pastries."

"Manager Ge said he went to Yuejirong to look for you, but the shop assistant said you had left, so he assumed you had gone back to the village."

“Okay, let’s go back first.” Yu Banxia nodded and walked towards the mule cart.

Uncle Yanping also came out. Seeing her sitting on the mule cart, he frowned slightly and began to figure out how to openly and legitimately give her a horse-drawn carriage.

This mule cart has no shelter from the wind and rain; how can the little girl withstand the elements?

Zhao Zhongxian turned his head and saw him standing there deep in thought.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

Don't assume that the person didn't mean it that way; they were just joking or expressing gratitude.

The moment he opened his mouth, the other person took it seriously, and the master really wanted to skin him alive.

"Young Master Yan, you should rest more. If you want to go out for a stroll, that's fine too." Zhao Zhongxian changed his words of concern to what he was about to say.

"Alright, Manager Zhao, you can go about your business without worrying about me." Uncle Yanping said, then turned and went back to the backyard.

He sat down by the window and clapped his hands.

Before long, two men in tight-fitting clothes appeared and immediately knelt down to pay their respects: "Young Master."

"Go and select a few female bodyguards with high internal strength, who are of good character and loyal to their master."

“Yes,” one of them replied.

Uncle Yanping then said, "Prepare another comfortable and spacious carriage."

"Is this a gift for Doctor Yu, young master?" the younger man asked with a grin.

Uncle Yanping rolled his eyes at him: "Xuanfeng, you talk too much. Watch your tongue."

Xuanfeng, however, was not afraid. He sat down with a grin, picked up a pastry from the table, and took a bite.

"Young master, this pastry is delicious! I was just out for a stroll and saw a pastry shop that was very lively. The pastries there weren't cheap, but people were still patiently queuing up to buy them."

“What you have is also Dr. Yu’s property,” Uncle Yanping said with a slight smile.

Xuanfeng was taken aback. He looked at Uncle Yanping, who was calmly drinking tea, and then at the pastries in his hand. A doctor making pastries?

This gap is a bit big.

It was really delicious. I never expected that a young girl would not only be skilled in medicine, but also have such good skills in making pastries.

"Young master, what did the young doctor say about your poison?" Xuanfeng asked again.

Uncle Yanping put down his teacup without saying a word.

Xuanfeng immediately tensed up, and stopped chewing the delicious snacks in his mouth.

Ying Sha also put down his teacup and looked nervously at his master.

"The detoxification process has already begun. Dr. Yu said that it will be completely cleared after two more treatments. After soaking in the medicinal soup today, the toxins have been reduced a lot, and I feel much more relaxed."

"what!"

"Young master, are you joking?"

Shadow Shakya could hardly believe his ears, then became excited.

That's wonderful, that's wonderful, young master is saved.

Xuanfeng also realized what was happening and said excitedly, "I'll go and kowtow to Doctor Yu right now. So many imperial physicians and doctors have said it's difficult."

"How could such a young doctor cure the young master? Is he some kind of divine physician descended from heaven?"

"Sit down, you're acting crazy and scaring people," Uncle Yanping scolded in a low voice.

Xuanfeng was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have discovered something, and became excited. Yingsha also looked at Uncle Yanping in surprise.

"Young master, you haven't taken a fancy to that young doctor, have you?" Xuanfeng looked at Uncle Yanping expectantly.

Uncle Yanping glared at him: "Just do your job and stop talking."

Xuanfeng and Yingsha exchanged a glance and nodded happily: "Alright, young master, don't worry, I will definitely choose a few suitable maids for the future mistress and prepare the most comfortable and spacious carriage in the entire Southern Jin."

"Get lost!" Uncle Yanping said with a sullen laugh.

That phrase, "future mistress," pleased him.
