Chapter 1510 - Chapter 1510 Chapter 1509 Could You Please Just Be Honest_1
Chapter 1510: Chapter 1509: Could You Please Just Be Honest?_1 Chapter 1510: Chapter 1509: Could You Please Just Be Honest?_1 Bei Yun had been quite honest lately, so much so that everyone who knew of his past was taking a second look.
Indeed, he was genuinely sitting in front of the Bei Residence daily, treating the sick. At first, only neighbors came seeking medical help, but as his reputation grew, the wealthy from all over the Capital City sought his services.
His fees were exorbitant, at a thousand taels per visit, yet his prescriptions were swiftly and accurately administered with remarkable effectiveness. The affluent, fully aware they were being overcharged, still flocked to him.
He was proficient in many fields, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics, handling all sorts of ailments, patients, and ages with ease. Generally, a mere wave of his hand was enough to solve the problem.
Business fluctuated since the rich residents of the city were not sick every day. Yet, Bei Yun wasn’t anxious. When there were patients, he would open his doors; when there were none, he simply sat at his doorstep with a jar of Floral Dew, watching passersby.
By practicing medicine, he had earned quite a sum of silver, which all eventually made its way to the Qiao Residence. Initially, he only purchased Date Flower Dew, but as he acquired more silver, he ordered a few more varieties. He always paid extra, so Qiao Xiaomai made them specifically for him.
His room was now stacked full with Floral Dew, to the point he almost drank it like wine.
For this, Bei Lingsu even specifically scolded him, saying that over-nourishment with anything was not beneficial, Floral Dew was for bodily regulation, and his way of drinking it would only harm his body.
Surprised, Bei Yun replied, “Cousin, do you actually care about me?”
Bei Lingsu crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, propped up her chin, and huffed, “You haven’t shared those breakthroughs in medicine yet, I can’t afford to let anything happen to you.”
“Besides, if you continue to behave as peacefully as you are now, and stay a good person, that would be preferable. Of course, it would be best if you also treated the poor without charge, doing more good deeds.”
Bei Lingsu’s words were heartfelt. Bei Yun chuckled in response and asked, “I charge a thousand taels to treat the rich and nothing for the poor, what will the rich think? Will they still come to me for treatment in the future?”
“Cousin, I’m not you. Someone else keeps track of your expenses, whereas I have to earn my money to buy my Floral Dew.”
Bei Lingsu, “…What do you need so much Floral Dew for?”
“Because I can’t buy any of Miss Qiao’s other dishes, she only sells this one to the public. If you ever go to the Qiao Residence, you must take me with you. I’m willing to spend silver to eat her cooking,” Bei Yun earnestly said.
Bei Lingsu, “As long as you stay a good person, Xiaomai will show you a kind face.”
Bei Yun sighed, “It’s my nature, shaped by a troubled youth. I’m already forty years old; one can change where they live, but not their inborn nature.”
Bei Lingsu “…”
She threw out the words “utter scum” and walked away.
It was simply impossible to reason with such a freak.
Bei Yun responded with a contented chuckle and continued treating Floral Dew as if it were water.
When he first arrived in the Capital City, he advertised himself as a purveyor of longevity. Yet, astonishingly, after two months, Yang Wenxiao still hadn’t sought him out.
That man could really keep his cool.
For the elderly, every moment is precious. With every passing moment, they grow older, so any health issues should be addressed promptly. Yet, Yang Wenxiao was holding off.
Indeed, the old man was not easily fooled.
Bei Yun clicked his tongue twice in secret and continued to sit at the door, sipping Floral Dew and watching the foot traffic.
With his constant gentle smile and handsome appearance, honestly, even those who had heard about his past still approached to strike up a conversation about various topics in the Capital City.
Bei Yun casually inquired and learned that Zuixian Building and Jiwei House had both launched a new book: “Handsome Prince and Lovely Princess”. He immediately became restless.
