Old man Xue from the Xue family came forward to greet him respectfully: “Doctor Bai, welcome! Please come in!”

Bai Sijin entered the house and placed his medicine box on the table, smiling at the old man: “After taking the medicine yesterday, has your health improved?”

Old man Xue nodded repeatedly: “Yes, it’s much better. Thank you, Doctor Bai, for coming yesterday to treat my whole family.”

Xu Xuancao’s heart trembled. Yesterday was the day she ran away in her clothes, and he still helped this family with their illness.

Since entering the house, Bai Sijin had not looked at her again, it seemed that he came to cure the Xue family.

Xu Xuancao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Sijin said: “I will prescribe another medicine for you to continue taking for half a month, and your blood will gradually recover.”

Beside them, Lin Xuanshu was polite but cold: “Doctor Bai, for your own safety, please leave after treating the patients.”

In fact, what he wanted to say was: hurry up and leave, don’t delay the government’s affairs.

Bai Sijin’s expression was calm: “Rest assured, Mr. Lin, I will not delay your important matters. I also intend to help the government solve the case by posing as the Xue family’s eldest son.”

“The Xue family’s eldest son?” Lin Xuanshu was thinking, why did Bai Sijin want to pose as the eldest son instead of the youngest son? Could it be because Xu Xuancao disguised herself as the Xue family’s daughter-in-law?

This was not acceptable. He couldn’t let him have his way.

Lin Xuanshu had a stern face and said, “You are not an official. We are facing vicious demons, not playing house games. Don’t think this is a joke, Doctor Bai.”

At this moment, Xu Xuancao spoke up, “He’s right. Tomorrow night is extremely dangerous. You shouldn’t get involved.”

Furthermore, he was a good person for ten generations, and the demon might turn to harm him.

She didn’t want to see anything happen to him, even a slight accident.

Bai Sijin turned around, his gaze softened as he focused on her face, his thin lips pursed in silence.

Xu Xuancao felt a tightness in her heart as he locked his gaze on her, as if she had said something wrong, sinking down with anxiety.

Bai Sijin turned his face away, avoiding her gaze, and said calmly, “There is no one more suitable here than me.”

Lin Xuanshu was infuriated and asked, “What do you mean?”

Bai Sijing was straightforward, “The body of the eldest son of the Xue family is similar to mine.”

Lin Xuanshu looked at the eldest son of the Xue family, then at Bai Sijing, and compared them to his own stature, looking embarrassed.

The eldest son of the Xue family was indeed tall and straight, quite handsome, and somewhat similar in body to Bai Sijing.

And Lin Xuanshu was considered tall, but standing in front of Bai Sijin, he was almost half a head shorter.

Among the men present, in terms of body proportion, only Bai Sijin is the most suitable.

Lin Xuanshu was filled with frustration inside: I don’t agree…

He regretted that his parents didn’t give him a few more inches in height.
