The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1202 - Chapter 1202 Emotion is greater than grace

Chapter 1202: Emotion is greater than grace Chapter 1202: Emotion is greater than grace Su Qingyue saw the sincerity on his face and said indifferently, “I heard that you’re asking two thousand taels for this residence of yours?”

“The dilapidated rooms inside aren’t worth much,” Gao Shen said, “but the old residence covers a large area and is located just outside the town.

A little walk takes you to the main street of the town, so it’s practically the price of the land.

It’s unfortunate it’s known as a haunted house; otherwise, it could fetch even three thousand taels.

The wealthy find it ill-fated, and those who don’t care can’t afford that much.

My family’s ancestral grave has already been relocated, and I had thought that I’d let it go for even one thousand and five hundred taels at a low price.”

“Then let’s make it one thousand and five hundred taels,” Su Qingyue said.

“Sell it to me at that price.”

“You really don’t have to…” Gao Shen said gratefully, “Miss Su, I consider myself to have some assets and am not in need of this small amount of money.”

“I know you’re not in need of money, but even brothers settle accounts clearly.

It’s also necessary for us to settle ours,” she replied.

Gao Shen was puzzled, “Miss Su, between us, apart from the lifesaving grace I owe you, there doesn’t seem to be any debt, right?

I don’t remember owing you any money.”

“That’s the case,” Su Qingyue’s expression was as calm as still water, “I charge one thousand taels per consultation.”

“One thousand taels, you’re robbing me!” exclaimed the surprised housekeeper Gao Jia, who then shut his mouth at his master’s stern glare.

Gao Shen’s face also stiffened a bit, “But Miss Su, when did you provide a consultation for me…” He trailed off there, realizing suddenly.

She asked him with a smile, “Do you remember when I took your pulse behind the carriage?”

“I remember,” he admitted, pressing his lips together.

She continued, “The pill that I gave you for detoxification was made of rare and precious ingredients, priceless.

I’ll charge you two thousand taels for it.

The medical fee is one thousand taels, which brings the total to three thousand taels of silver.

If you sell your old residence to me for one thousand and five hundred taels, you’ll just need to give me another one thousand and five hundred taels to settle it.”

“…” Gao Shen almost thought he had misheard.

He was thinking that by giving her a big mansion, and if she accepted the favor, it would mean her favor outweighed his debt to her because the mansion was too valuable.

Who would have thought that after doing the math…

not only would he have to pay an additional one thousand and five hundred taels, but his lifesaving debt would still be unpaid?

She looked calmly at his astonished expression, “Why isn’t young Master Gao speaking?

Could it be that you intend to renege on the debt?”

“That…” Gao Shen really wanted to say that it felt like a robbery, “Could you make your consultation fee and your medicine a bit cheaper?”

“As the divine doctor ‘Unnamed,’ I never haggle over my fees for treating patients,” she stated flatly, leaving no room for negotiation.

“You are the renowned ‘Unnamed’ divine doctor from the martial world?” This time, Gao Shen was truly taken aback.

“Exactly,” she nodded solemnly.

In ancient times, one had to show some posture; otherwise, people wouldn’t think you were worth the price.

Having been quietly observing, Xiao Yuchuan now spoke, “If my wife weren’t the highly skilled ‘Unnamed’ divine doctor, who else do you think could provide an elixir that would detoxify your poison so easily?”

“That makes sense.” Initially skeptical, Gao Shen now looked at Su Qingyue’s serene and elegant demeanor, thinking about her resounding reputation throughout the town and that even County Magistrate Zheng had personally prepared a generous gift for her.

Such a woman would certainly not deign to impersonate anyone.

“No wonder Miss Su doesn’t even spare a second glance at talents like Big Boss Jin, since you are the divine doctor ‘Unnamed’.” After hearing about Su Qingyue’s deeds, Gao Shen already had a bit of admiration for her.
