Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Show off One’s Military Strength
Although the surroundings here couldn’t match the tranquility and elegance of the Sky Character class, it was clean and tidy, which made it an excellent choice for her temporary rest.
She silently praised the place in her heart, the high cost-performance ratio was indeed worth the money, the only drawback was that the soundproofing was slightly inferior, allowing the conversation next door to be clearly heard.
“Hey, have you heard? Young Master Tutor Lin’s family has posted another reward notice, saying that they’re offering a hefty sum for a famous doctor to treat his mother’s illness.”
A somewhat husky voice arose from next door, filled with curiosity and enthusiasm for gossip.
Another voice followed, “Who doesn’t know about that? The Old Lady’s illness has dragged on for so many years, it’s about time it came to an end. If she were to die a natural death, that would be it, but why bother going to so much trouble and effort?”
The words were not without irony and helplessness.
“Shh, keep your voice down, that sort of talk wouldn’t sound good if it got out.”
The husky voice hurriedly interjected, revealing a hint of caution.
Straight after, that voice whispered again, “That being said, the lives of the wealthy are always more precious. Having been ill for most of her life, she can still spend money to cling to life. I think rather than enjoying, it’s more like suffering. An early release might be the real mercy.”
“Mmm, after all, for the Old Lady’s illness, many famous doctors have been at their wits’ end, relying on medicines to hang on by the last breath. The severity of the illness this time, I fear it’s more likely to be hopeless than not,” the husky voice sighed, then added, “However, on that reward notice, it says if someone can cure her, the reward is substantial, probably no less than a hundred taels of silver. It’s just unknown if anyone is willing to take on this thorny task.”

Su Yu lay on the bed, her previously tranquil heart stirred by the conversation next door.
A hundred taels of silver!
This figure struck her heart like a heavy hammer.
She felt that she should take a look at Young Master Tutor Lin’s mother’s condition. After all, saving a life was greater than building a seven-storey stupa, this was not only a good deed but also a form of respect and redemption for life.
Thinking this, Su Yu turned over and got up, her movements crisp and decisive.
She arrived in front of Young Master Tutor’s Mansion and forcefully knocked the heavy brass ring.
The wait seemed especially long until the door slowly opened.
A servant dressed in coarse cloth clothes hurriedly poked his head out, asking with a surprised face, “Who are you?”
Judging his appearance and attire, wearing simple blue cloth clothes with a white towel draped over his shoulders.
There were still sweat beads on his forehead from his labors, presumably a diligent and honest servant from Lin Mansion.
Su Yu conducted herself with dignity, politely replied, “Oh, my surname is Su. I am a doctor specially here to assess the esteemed mother’s condition in Young Master Tutor’s Mansion.”
The servant looked Su Yu up and down with curiosity, his handsome face showing a faint surprise not easily noticed.
These days, those who had come knocking were all bearded men; it was the first time he had seen such a gentle and confident woman enter the threshold of medicine.
His eyes revealed a hint of admiration, staring somewhat entranced.
Su Yu noticed his distraction and said with a soft laugh, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, “Please lead the way, brother, we must not delay as time is pressing.”
Upon hearing this, the servant retracted his wandering gaze, inwardly marveling.
He saw that Su Yu was not only beautiful, but also treated people with kindness and a pleasant demeanor, entirely lacking the arrogance and contempt that the wealthy often showed towards their servants.
He looked around to ensure no one was paying attention, then leaned closer to Su Yu, lowered his voice, and his eyes were full of sincere concern, “Miss, I still advise you to go back. The Old Lady at home has been ill, and countless doctors with excellent medical skills have been unable to do anything. Now everyone in the mansion has started to quietly prepare for the worst. If you get involved, I fear it will do no good and only add unnecessary trouble.”
After listening, Su Yu didn’t get angry but instead smiled, lightly raised her eyebrows, and a glint of determination flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this young man who, despite his youth, had the heart of an old-fashioned gentleman, was indeed commendable.
In the depths of this large household, if one failed to cure the illness of a noble person, the consequences were self-evident, and his concerns were not unreasonable.
However, faced with the grave situation, Su Yu felt an even greater sense of responsibility, not allowing for any delay.
“Thank you for your kind warning, young man, but since I have come, I am not willing to give up any possibility. Please indulge me, and take me inside to try; perhaps I can indeed relieve the Old Lady of this danger. Wouldn’t that be an ideal outcome?”
Su Yu spoke earnestly, her eyes shimmering with the persistence and belief of a doctor.
The servant, seeing Su Yu’s resolute attitude, sighed helplessly yet also felt admiration: “Ah, you are so stubborn. My advice was all for your own good!”
“I appreciate your kindness, but my mind is made up. Please help me with this favor.”
Finally, under Su Yu’s insistence, the young servant could only shake his head and sigh, then led her to go make the announcement.
The moment Su Yu stepped into Lin Mansion, she immediately sensed the pervasive gloom and oppression.
The servants hastened their steps with anxious expressions, seemingly preparing for the impending misfortune.
The servant led Su Yu through winding, quiet corridors to a serene courtyard in the back. Su Yu stood quietly outside the door, waiting for the young servant to go in and report.
After a short while, the servant hurried out and gestured for Su Yu to enter.
The moment she crossed the threshold, a dense and oppressive atmosphere rushed towards her, involuntarily causing her to frown.
Looking around the hall, she saw several elegantly dressed women seated on both sides.
Aside from the main seat’s man whose face bore clouds of worry, the rest were dressed to the nines, presumably the mistresses of the house.
Su Yu slowly stepped forward, offering formal respects to the tired-looking, worried man, “Greetings to Master Han. I am Su Yu, the junior, here to try and treat the Old Lady’s illness, hoping to offer what little help I can.”
Master Han didn’t utter a word, merely waving his hand slightly, his eyes revealing disappointment and helplessness, evidently having little hope for all efforts.
Just as Su Yu was about to step forward, a sharp and piercing female voice suddenly broke the silence of the room, “Yaoguang, you are becoming more and more reckless. Who are you to introduce just any stray cat or dog to the Master?”
Su Yu’s steps halted briefly as her gaze coldly fixed on the source of the voice.
It belonged to a gorgeous woman, but sadly, as soon as she opened her mouth, her words cut like a knife.
Yaoguang, chastised like this, immediately became flustered and fell to the ground with a thud, hurriedly defending himself, “Forgive me, Song Xiaoniang. I was just so worried about the Old Lady’s condition that I lost my senses in desperation…”
Su Yu inwardly sneered. This so-called “younger lady” was merely a consort in the household, what right did she have to show off and flaunt her status here?
Before Su Yu could say anything, the Young Master Tutor’s wife, a woman of dignified presence and wise eyes, finally spoke up to mediate this controversy, “Enough, sister, let’s speak less of this. Mother’s illness is severe, and we should try every bit of hope we have.”
