A Man of Honor or Defenseless Against Beautiful Women?

Lu Song looked at Feng Yu Heng and asked with great uncertainty: “The treatment that Princess is talking about, how… much will it cost?”

Feng Yu Heng blinked: “It’s not much, but it will cost at least 100 taels.” She really did not ask for an exorbitant amount, and this was a result of the Lu family becoming more reserved and obedient, in addition to the two prime ministers working together to produce difficult test questions to deal with the people of the eighth prince’s faction. That could be considered a contribution, thus she decided on the price of 100 taels. If this was in the past, when the matter with Lu Yao had just occurred, if she did not demand one million taels, her name would not be Feng.

Lu Song visibly let out a sigh of relief and said: “Then would princess please write up the bill! I did not bring that much money with me and will definitely have a servant from the manor send it over later. Please do not worry.”

Feng Yu Heng smiled and did not say anything else, as she casually wrote up a prescription then handed it to her assistant. Only then did she bring Lu Song behind a divider. Ren Xi Tao was not permitted back there and could only wait outside. During this time, he could faintly hear the sound of Lu Song seemingly throwing up a few times. He was very curious but knew that he could not violate the rules of peeking on someone else’s examination, thus he endured and did not move.

Roughly two sticks of incense in time later, Feng Yu Heng helped Lu Song out. Lu Song’s complexion was horrible, and he had experienced the agony of a gastroscope. That terrible feeling was such that he did not even have the courage to recall it.

“The results should be back tomorrow. There’s no need for Lord Lu to come to Hundred Herb Hall personally. You can just send someone that is able to understand the spoken language.” She told Lu Song: “During these next few days, try to eat a bit less and eat fewer hard things. The stomach needs to heal. I will prescribe you some more medicine. The cost of the medicine will be included in the examination fee, and that won’t exceed 100 taels.” She once again emphasized the examination fee, and Lu Song felt a little more at ease. Although 100 taels was not a small sum, at the very least, the Lu family would be able to afford it. It would be better than Feng Yu Heng demanding the world of them, letting them know that the illness could be treated, while also making it clear that she would not treat him. That would be the ultimate despair.

Coming out of Hundred Herb Hall, Ren Xi Tao continued to accompany Lu Song. He did not have much to say; however, he was an earnest person. He insisted on escorting Lu Song back to his manor before feeling at ease to return home. This caused Lu Song to feel quite moved. Thinking about it some more, Gu shi was not at home today. The only female family member present was Lu Ping. Could he use this opportunity to have Lu Ping meet Ren Xi Tao? Just based on Feng Yu Heng calling Ren Xi Tao “older brother,” if this relationship worked out, he would have an indirect connection with Feng Yu Heng. In the future, he could have Lu Ping get along well with her, and the Lu family would have become part of Feng Yu Heng’s circle.

The more he thought about it, the more that he felt it was reliable. In addition to this, Feng Yu Heng had said that there was not too much wrong with him, and she had prescribed some of Hundred Herb Hall’s good medicine for him. Lu Song’s immediately felt quite a bit more relaxed, and there was even a bit of spring to his step, causing Ren Xi Tao to feel a bit confused.

When Lu Song arrived home, the “notice for payment” from Hundred Herb Hall had arrived a long time ago. The servant saw him return and asked: “Master spent 100 taels at Hundred Herb Hall? Earlier, someone from Hundred Herb Hall sent a bill, but neither you nor madam were home, thus we lowly ones could not make that decision.”
