“Okay, then I will go to Dongfang Family Mansion to find her now.” Ke Zhengming said readily.

Imperial Doctor Xu nodded his head: “Alright, since that’s the case, then this old man will be waiting here. It happens that I have something to ask Miss Bai.”

Ke Zhengming hurriedly left the house. He didn’t even change his official robe.

In the Dongfang Family Mansion.

Dongfang Mu was practicing calligraphy in his study. Although he grew up practicing martial arts and very proud of it, he was also a great scholar who has read through Liu Zang. His calligraphy was really beautiful and looked strong.

The little guard came in and reported: “Master, Ke Daren, ask to see you.”

Dongfang Mu continued writing while asking: “Which Ke Daren?”

The little guard replied: “It’s the left Deputy of the Imperial Censor, Ke Zhengming.”

Dongfang Mu nodded his head: “Ok, invite him to the side hall.”

He had a good impression of this man. Although he was a bit more rigid, he couldn’t hide his righteousness. The court needed someone like him.

After finishing writing, he cleaned his hands in the copper basin next to the shelf and then went to the side hall.

Dongfang Mu was a martial artist. So although he was old now, his bones were still strong and he was not afraid of the cold in winter. Therefore, even the charcoal stove in the hall was not burning. The room was as cold as the outside.

When Ke Zhengming arrived, the servant offered him tea. He didn’t want to drink, he simply walked back and forth in the hall.

When Dongfang Mu came in, he happened to see his anxious look: “What’s wrong with Ke Daren?”

Ke Zhengming hurriedly came forward and cupped his hand to Dongfang Mu.

Dongfang Mu waved his hand: “As the saying goes, one doesn’t visit a temple without a cause. If you have something to say, just say it.”

Ke Zhengming was not a person who likes twists and turns. He busily said: “Dongfang Daren, my second son has a strange disease. Imperial Doctor Xu is helpless, so this official came to harass your granddaughter.”

Dongfang Mu thought that Ke Zhengming had something to ask him, but it turned out to be not. He came to see Bai Zhi for medical treatment. Recently, it seems that all the people who came to their door was for Bai Zhi’s medical treatment… …

Dongfang Mu said: “A disease that even Imperial Doctor Xu can’t cure, how can my family’s Zhi’er cure it?”

Ke Zhengming busily said: “Imperial Doctor Xu said that Miss Bai’s medical skills are superb, which he has never seen before. Maybe she has the way.”

Dongfang Mu nodded his head: “Well since it’s for medical treatment, I’ll ask her to come out. You can tell her the details in person.”

“Thank you, sir!” Ke Zhengming thanked Dongfang Mu, again and again. People say that Dongfang Mu was eccentric and difficult to get along with.

In fact, in Ke Zhengming’s opinion, Dongfang Mu was the easiest to get along with. As long as you use the simplest and most sincere attitude in front of him, you will surely get a relatively equal response.

Not long after, Bai Zhi came to the side hall and saw a middle-aged man wearing a government official robe, sitting in the hall. She smiled and asked: “Master is looking for me?”

Ke Zhengming quickly put down the teacup in his hand, got up, and said to Bai Zhi: “Miss Bai, it’s offensive to come here rashly. Please don’t blame me.”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “You don’t have to be polite. I wonder why the master is looking for me?”

Ke Zhengming immediately replied: “My son has a strange disease. Imperial Doctor Xu said, only if I ask Miss Bai for treatment, there can be a chance.”

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: “Oh? What is this disease?”

Ke Zhengming had some difficultly speaking, but he didn’t want was a little hard to lie, so he simply said, “It’s mold sores.”

Dongfang Mu has been propping his ears to listen. So when he heard it was mold sores, he spurted out the tea he was about to swallow. Then, he stood up and pointed his finger to Ke Zhengming: “You, you are really good Ke Zhengming. You are too courageous. Your son has this kind of romantic disease, you dare to come to my house and look for my granddaughter? How can my granddaughter treat such kind of disease?”
