Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Bitten by a Dog

Although she never actively sought conflict with the powerful, when pushed into a corner, the resilience and defiance in her nature would not falter in the slightest.

"Doctor Su, this silver tael..."

Before she could finish, the Young Master Tutor’s wife’s suggestion was interrupted by the master’s deep cough, followed by his eyes filled with a warning, as piercing and undeniable as a cold wind in winter.

The Young Master Tutor’s wife felt a mix of emotions, a hundred taels of silver for the Han Family was but a drop in the bucket, and furthermore, she could easily cover this amount quietly with her own private money.

If that were not possible, another feasible solution would be to pay all of Doctor Su’s medical fees in advance.

From any perspective, such a solution was reasonable.

She was perplexed and confused as to why, at this critical moment, the master was unwilling to let her handle the matter.

Though she felt quite indignant within, in the presence of others, she still chose to remain silent, daring not to openly defy her husband’s wishes, and resignedly closed her lips.

Su Yu gave the Young Master Tutor’s wife a grateful look, then turned her head and fixed her gaze on Young Master Tutor Lin, her eyes sparkling with challenge and confidence: wanting to see her embarrassed was out of the question.

Her gaze finally settled on the Dumb Woman, her tone firm: "I don’t have the silver, but I truly have a way to treat your throat problem."

The Dumb Woman’s eyes instantly lit up with hope, as she eagerly communicated her desire through gestures.

The assistant quickly interpreted, "The Dumb Woman wants to know if you really mean what you say?"

Su Yu nodded determinedly, showing full sincerity.

The Dumb Woman gestured again, and the assistant continued to explain, "Why should I believe you? This problem with my throat has troubled me for more than twenty years, and I have seen countless renowned doctors without a cure. You, a young girl, should not speak recklessly."

Facing the skepticism, Su Yu did not get angry but smiled and said composedly, "You can inquire about my medical skills from anyone in the Young Master Tutor’s Mansion. Alternatively, it wouldn’t be too late to release someone after I’ve truly cured your throat."

Seeing this, the Young Master Tutor’s wife quickly added her voice to the conversation, "Yes indeed, Dr. Su’s medical skills are exceptional. When the Old Lady was gravely ill, it was only through Doctor Su’s miraculous treatment that her life was spared."

Even if the master had some reservations, he seemed to find it difficult to care too much at this moment, and while not endorsing her openly, he still allowed the truth to be spoken.

The Dumb Woman listened and still wore a skeptical look, gesturing a few more times.

The assistant quickly translated, "Alright, I’m willing to give it a try. If you can truly cure my illness, then you may decide what to do with this girl."

Su Yu turned to Da Ya, her voice full of gravity, "Da Ya, whether you go home or not is up to you, I won’t interfere. But as your Second Aunt, I am responsible to help you regain your freedom. During this time, I also hope you will consider carefully what path you want to take in life."

At her words, Da Ya knelt deeply before Su Yu and gave a deep bow, "Thank you, Second Aunt."

"Then please, Dumb Woman, take good care of my niece, ensuring her daily food, clothing, and necessities are properly arranged without any neglect."

Young Master Tutor Lin spoke with an authoritative tone, his eyes gleaming with trust for the Dumb Woman.

The Dumb Woman’s aged face squeezed out a warm smile, nodded in understanding, and then her hands began to gesture fluidly, as if weaving a delicate tapestry in the air, each gesture filled with deep meaning and promise.
