Hearing that it was another group of exiles, Mrs. Huang hoisted a large sack of medicine onto her shoulder and followed Doctor Huang, who carried his medical box. Only then did she turn to Gu Kaiping. "Let's go. But let's make one thing clear up front: the silver for the consultation cannot be short a single copper coin."
Gu Kaiping was the one begging for help right now. No matter how displeased he felt upon hearing this, he could only plaster on a placating smile. "That is only natural. Doctor, please hurry and come with me. My daughter has had a high fever since early this morning, and the medicine hasn't brought it down."
"That is quite troublesome. Did you not use a wet cloth to help cool her down?" Doctor Huang asked, gathering information about his patient as they walked.
