Taoist Doctor
Jiang Yu brought Ji Tang back to the villa and took out a few sets of clothes. She handed them to Ji Tang and said, “Go take a shower first and change into your clothes. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it when we wake up tomorrow morning.”
“Thank you.” Ji Tang took the clothes and hesitated for a long time before saying.
Jiang Yu did not expect to hear these two words from Ji Tang’s mouth. She could not help but smile. “You’re welcome.”
Ji Tang took a shower, changed her clothes, and fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. Chu Ran was still rather curious about this person, but Ji Tang’s expression had always been ‘keep strangers away’ so Chu Ran did not plan to go over and ask for a snub.
The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they went to do their own things. “My mother is in Qingcheng now. Come with me,” Ji Tang said to Jiang Yu.
“Alright.”
Although Chu Ran wanted to go with them, Jiang Yu still left him in the villa and said, “You won’t be of any help if you go. Don’t add to the mess.”
Chu Ran was unhappy. Even if Jiang Yu didn’t take him out, he would have plenty of places to have fun.
Ji Tang sat in the car and guided the bodyguards. After passing through several winding paths, they finally arrived at the place Ji Tang mentioned.
In fact, compared to the houses in the bustling area, that place was indeed dilapidated, but it was not dilapidated. At the very least, the people who lived here should be able to wear normal clothes, unlike Ji Tang, who was dressed in rags.
The more Jiang Yu looked at it, the more confused she became. She could not help but ask, “Is this your first time here with your mother?”
“No.” Ji Tang opened the car door and got out. As she led Jiang Yu inside, she said, “This is the hometown where my parents got married. When they adopted me, we lived here for a period of time. Later, my father became successful in business, so we moved to another place.”
“But my father passed away early, and there was not much left in the family fortune to pay off the debts. Fortunately, I got married at that time and had a relatively rich husband. Thanks to him, we can continue to live like before. But because of you, I was fired by the Green Bird and my husband divorced me! I left with nothing and didn’t have a single cent on me. I had no choice but to bring my mother back to my hometown.”
Jiang Yu did not expect Ji Tang to experience such a huge change after she was fired.
However, she did not feel that this matter was her fault. If Ji Tang had not done anything to frame her in the beginning, then today’s incident would not have happened.
However, it was a good thing that the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention this matter again. Jiang Yu felt that it was time to let this matter go.
Ji Tang brought Jiang Yu into the innermost room. This room looked relatively clean and exquisite.
“This is the place.” She looked at Jiang Yu and then at the bodyguards behind her. She said, “My mother is getting on in years. You can go in with me alone. These bodyguards can guard the door. Is that okay?”
“Sure.”
Jiang Yu followed Ji Tang into the room. There was only a big bed in the room, and a white-haired woman was lying on it. Her eyes were tightly shut, as if she could no longer sense the sound of the outside world.
Beside her bed, there was a very young and beautiful woman and a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe.
“Who are you? Why are you at my house?” Ji Tang looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.
The young and beautiful woman quickly grabbed Ji Tang’s sleeve and explained, “Sister, this is the Taoist doctor I specially invited for our mother! He’s the 38th generation successor of the Jia family’s Taoist doctor, and he’s very famous in the martial arts world!”
The middle-aged man nodded and said proudly, “Yes, you can call me Master Jia.”
“What master? My mother is sick, not possessed! Why did you find a Taoist priest?” Ji Tang was angry. “They are all liars. How can you believe them?”
“What are you talking about?” Master Jia raised his voice. This was the first time he had been called a swindler.
“Sister, don’t talk nonsense!” The woman also spoke up for Master Jia. “This master’s medical skills are very high. As for you, you didn’t come back for an entire night. Why did he bring back a strange woman today? Is she also a Dao doctor?”
“I’m studying traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. I can’t compare to such a scammer.” Jiang Yu glanced at Master Jia coldly.
