Old Lady Bai busily said: “Madam, no need to worry. Although I have separated from Bai Zhi, we are still grandmother and granddaughter. I will take you to her and let her treat the patient in your family.”

Gu Pinghui wants to tear the old woman’s mouth. What is she? How dare she lie to her?

Despite the anger in her heart, for the sake of her son, Gu Pinghui temporarily suppressed this anger: “Lead the way.”

Old Lady Bai leads the way for Gu Pinghui and the servants behind her to go to the cabin house.

The door of the cabin house was closed, but the outside gate was unlocked. When she heard someone was talking in the room, Old Lady Bai looked at Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu, although unwilling, she quickly knocked on the door: “Zhi’er, are you there? Your grandmother came to see you, open the door.”

The voice in the room stopped shortly, and then the wooden door was opened. Zhao Sue stood at the door and looked outside. When she saw the old lady and Mrs. Liu with another woman, she frowned and asked: “What are you doing here?”

Old Lady Bai knew that Zhao Sue was Awu’s wife. The family of three couldn’t survive in the town, so they came to live here with Bai Zhi and became the mother and daughter’s servant.

She was Bai Zhi’s servant, so in her eyes, she was the Bai Family’s servant. Old Lady Bai looked at Zhao Sue impatiently and said: “It has nothing to do with you. Let Bai Zhi come out soon. There is an honorable guest.”

Although Zhao Sue only lived in the village for a few days, she knew about the mother and daughter’s grievances with the Bai Family. She couldn’t count their sins to Bai Zhi, so her impression of these people was very poor.

“Zhi’er is sick and can’t see you. If you have something, just leave for now.” Before she opened the door, Bai Zhi told her there is no need to be polite with these two.

Hearing this, Old Lady Bai became so angry that she rushed forward and pushed Zhao Sue: “I am looking for my granddaughter, what does it have to do with you? Get out of the way!”

The room was clean and neat just like when she came last time. A person was lying on the wooden bed, Zhao Lan was doing needlework, and a little girl was playing on the side.

Old Lady Bai’s eyes swept to the person lying on the bed. She frowned and immediately said: “What time is it now and you’re still sleeping? Get up quickly, there is a guest.”

Zhao Lan stopped the needlework in her hand, she looked up and coldly stared at the old lady: “Can’t you see that she’s sick? What do you think you’re doing?”

At this time, Gu Pinghui walked in with her two maidservants. The place was small and suddenly became crowded. Gu Pinghui frowned, this cabin house was not even as big as her thatched house.

She looked at Zhao Lan and asked: “Are you Miss Bai?”

Zhao Lan also looked at her and said: “Miss Bai is my daughter, who are you? What are you doing here?”

Old Lady Bai hurriedly answered: “This is the case. This lady said there is a patient in their house. She wants to ask Bai Zhi to cure this person. You let Bai Zhi go with them.”

Zhao Lan’s indifferent gaze quickly swept to the old lady. She sneered and said: “Why do I need to listen to your arrangement?”

The maidservant busily said: “She must go. She already received a consultation fee of 20 silver. You can’t refuse.”

Zhao Lan suddenly laughed. What else is there to say? How can people like Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu who are not helpful, kindly bring people to see Bai Zhi for medical treatment?

Zhao Lan said to the maidservant: “Whoever received your consultation fee can cure the patient in your family. We will not confiscate the money.”
