Chapter 48: Misunderstanding Is a Chance in Disguise (1/2)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“I didn’t trust you in the past.”

Staring at him, An Rushuang said slowly, “Even yesterday, I still had ill feeling toward you, but when you said for sure there were 80-90% chance that Nanny Liu could recover from the disease, I decided to trust you without doubt.”

Shocked by her words, Ye Chengzhi was speechless for a long time before he asked, “Why did you have ill feeling toward me?”

It confused him so much that he, usually under her threat, would cause any trouble for An Rushuang that made her distrust him.

Catching a glimpse of Ye Chengzhi, An Rushuang smiled. “I have met several physicians. Though their medical fee was high, they would not tell me about the disease in detail, only trying their best to use expensive herbal medicines in prescription. But you...”

She stopped with a chuckle. Ye Chengzhi, understanding her meaning immediately, couldn’t help blushing.

“I... I had no choice back then,” he rubbed his noise before he repeated, “I had no choice.”

Since his old man had to use large amount of herbal medicine, Ye Chengzhi nearly made no money this year. What’s worse, he couldn’t make the ends meet after bought another medicine recently.

When he came to treat Nanny Liu, lady’s beloved wet nurse, at the manor, Ye Chengzhi was merely obsessed with the money.

“It should be my turn to apologize for my crossing the bottom line of a physician’s morality.”

Ye Chengzhi also made a bow to An Rushuang.

“Please get up, Mr. Ye! There’s no need for you to do this.” An Rushuang said in a hurry.

“Miss An, please don’t make me more embarrassed.”

While they were smiling at each other while getting up, something was shattered into pieces on the ground.

Silver, holding a tea tray in her hands, was in panic.

“What a fool you are to break the tea cup. Is there an easier job than making tea? The blue porcelain tea set was worth ten silver ingots! The whole set has to be abandoned if one single cup is broken!” Hong Yu, following her in, reproached Silver harshly.

“Ten...Ten silver ingots?” Silver, with her eyes wide open, stared at the fragments on the ground while muttering, “I can buy a good one at the East Street with several coins...”
