When he heard that the woman in red was in Hong Manor at this time, Patriarch Yu’s face turned grim. With a snort of anger, he immediately turned around, intending to go back to Hong Manor to have a look and find out the details of the woman in red.

He just didn’t expect to be unable to enter Hong Manor after having just exited it.

When he realised he couldn’t get in, he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve. “I’ll find out where on earth this woman in red came from!”

He didn’t leave either. Instead, he went straight to the carriage parked in front of Hong Manor and waited there for the woman in red to come out and ask her.

When others saw this, they smiled and said, “Why are you doing this, Patriarch Yu? Why wait here when we’ll know in two days?”

“Exactly, you see, it’s almost noon and the sun is strong, so why soak up the sun here?”

Several of them made jokes and gave advice, but he refused to listen and insisted on remaining here. When they realised this, they exchanged glances, shook their heads, and left first.

Inside Hong Manor.

After reaching Hong Mansion’s rear courtyard, Feng Jiu walked into Old Patriarch Hong’s room. As soon as she entered the inner room, she noticed Old Patriarch Hong lying on the bed, pondering something while looking at the top of the bed. It was unclear what he was contemplating.

The steward who accompanied her whispered, “Old Patriarch, Ghost Doctor has arrived.”

This brought Old Patriarch Hong back to his senses. He stole a glance at the woman in red standing by the bed: So, this is Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu.

She wore a dazzling red dress and possessed a beauty that could overthrow a city, as well as a level of majesty and splendour that was unparalleled. No matter how he viewed her, she was by no means an ordinary person.

“Pardon me, Ghost Doctor, but I cannot rise to greet you.” He apologised profusely.

Feng Jiu smiled and gestures to him with her hand raised. “It doesn’t matter, just lie down.”

She went to Old Patriarch Hong’s bedside, sat on the chair that had been moved by the steward, and said, “I’ll examine you again.”

The Old Patriarch Hong replied “Thank you,” and extended his hand.

Feng Jiu placed her hand on the elderly man’s thin wrists, carefully took his pulse, and then inquired about his physical condition. She eventually withdrew her hand and said, “I’ll give Old Patriarch another acupuncture treatment. I’ll prescribe some more medicine later for you to take for two days in a row.”

When Old Patriarch Hong heard this, he expressed his gratitude. “This time, it’s all thanks to Ghost Doctor; if it weren’t for Ghost Doctor, I’m afraid my tired old body would only stay this way.”

Feng Jiu simply smiled and took the silver needles from her space to dredge his blocked vital energy and blood.

After a while, she put the silver needles away and went to the table to write down the prescription, just as Patriarch Hong entered the room.

“Ghost Doctor, how is my father’s condition today?” He inquired, his gaze drawn to Ghost Doctor, who was writing the prescription on the table.

“There is no major problem. Here’s the prescription. After receiving the medicinal materials, please drink it for two days.” Feng Jiu said as she handed him the prescription she had written in his hand.

Patriarch Hong proceeded to take it with both hands. He expressed gratitude to Feng Jiu, “Thank you, Ghost Doctor. I told the people in the kitchen to make good food and wine. Please…” Feng Jiu cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

“No, I have to go back to the Manor of the City Lord to take care of some things. I’m not going to stay here any longer. I’ll leave in a day or two at most.”

Patriarch Hong was taken aback when he heard this. “Is Ghost Doctor really going to leave so soon? Will you not stay a few more days?”
