After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I rolled my eyes. To investigate a case, one has to submit a business card, and then wait for a reply before visiting the person. I am really shocked by the efficiency of work in ancient times.

But now I need help from others, so I cannot show my dissatisfaction.

So I had no choice but to say, "Master Li is right. We can't be impatient. I will wait for good news from Master Li."

Li Jin smiled and nodded, saying, "I am entrusted by someone and will do my best to get things done. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao."

I thought to myself, if your boss asks you to do something, do you dare not do it well? Zheng Xian's personality is not as simple as just firing him.

But I secretly despised him in my heart and dared not show it on my face.

I said flatteringly, "In that case, I will trouble you, Lord Li."

Li Jin laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are too polite."

Li Jin paused, and suddenly said with difficulty: "Alas, actually, I came here today to ask for something else."

I looked at Li Jin in disbelief, pointed at my nose and asked, "Do you need help from me?"

Li Jin nodded solemnly.

I curled my lips and said, "I am just a little bit strong, but I am just fat. Are you sure you found the right person?"

Li Jin suddenly bowed to me and said seriously, "My mother has been seriously ill for a long time. I have been looking for famous doctors in the country but to no avail. I hope Mr. Zhao can help her!"

I opened my mouth wide and couldn't say anything for a long time.

I didn’t expect Zheng Xian to tell him everything. It seems that their relationship is really special.

No wonder he kept calling me Young Master Zhao even though he knew I was a girl. It seemed like this was also Zheng Xian's instruction.

Li Jin thought I didn't want to agree, so he stood up quickly, bowed to me, bent his waist and lowered his head, bowed to me solemnly, and said: "If Mr. Zhao is willing to help me, if there is any need for me in the future, I will do my best and will never refuse!"

Li Jin's great courtesy to me actually shocked me. I quickly stood up, held up Li Jin with both hands, and said, "Lord Li, you are too kind. It's not that I don't want to treat the old lady, but my mediocre medical skills are really not enough to take on this important task!"

I just saved Concubine Yu from death. I don't believe Li Jin didn't know about this, but he still came to me to treat his mother. This is totally unreasonable.

Haha, you want to trick me again? I won't be fooled!

After hearing this, Li Jin grabbed my hand, squeezed his eyes hard, and squeezed out a tear. He looked pitiful, smacked his lips, and said, "Mr. Zhao, as long as you are willing to help, whether you can cure it or not, Li will never blame you."

Seeing his funny look, I couldn't help but frown. I struggled to free my hands and said, "You trust me, but I don't trust myself. Don't force me."

Li Jin listened, hung his head, and said, "In that case, I will not embarrass Mr. Zhao. But I am in a bad mood, so I can't handle the case properly. I will consider Mr. Zhao's matter when I am in a better mood."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he sighed, put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and wanted to leave.

When I heard this, I was like, this is too much, isn't this a blatant threat?

I quickly grabbed his sleeve and said loudly, "I'll go, I'll go."

Li Jin shook his head, waved his hand, and said, "No need, I am not the kind of person who would force you to do anything."

"No, no, no, don't force me. I do this voluntarily, voluntarily." I said hurriedly.

Li Jin pulled at his sleeves, but he couldn't pull them free. He was so tired that he was out of breath and said, "Master Zhao is busy with his work, so there's no need to bother you."

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy at all, I'm very happy." I pulled Li Jin hard, almost breaking his old bones.

Li Jin tried to hold back his laughter and said, "Really not difficult?"

"Not difficult!" I patted my chest and said, "Not difficult at all!"

"In that case, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhao and Li to go there." I rolled my eyes as I saw Li Jin showing him a fox-like smile.

I touched my belly and said, "But I'm hungry."

Li Jin straightened his wrinkled sleeves and said with a smile, "We have already prepared hot meals and dishes at home. We will never let Mr. Zhao go hungry. Please come in, Mr. Zhao!"

I didn't expect Li Jin to be so anxious, so I couldn't help but ask, "Now?"

Li Jin nodded and said, "My mother is suffering from illness and pain day and night. It is really tormenting. I feel pain for her and cannot wait even a moment longer."

At this time, Yiping was walking over with some tea and snacks.

I looked at the golden pancake on the tray, my mouth watered, and I couldn't help grabbing a piece. While eating, I said, "Then let's go and have a look. I'm really not sure I can cure your mother's illness. Can you tell me about her condition first?"

Li Jin said, "No hurry, no hurry, my carriage is parked in front of the Taifu Mansion, we can talk while walking."

There is no need to rush about this. I couldn't help but despise this old fox thousands of times in my heart.

Yiping looked at Li Jin and whispered, "Are you really going to go with him?"

I said, "What's true or false about this? A doctor is like a parent to others. It is my job to relieve people's pain and suffering."

I spoke with great righteousness, completely ignoring the fact that Li Jin was secretly rolling his eyes.

Yiping said worriedly, "What do you mean by a doctor is like a caring parent? You are not a doctor at all."

I quickly covered Yiping's mouth and whispered, "Shh, don't talk nonsense. What if I don't go and he refuses to help me settle the case?"

Yiping's eyes widened, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and nodded quickly.

Li Jin gestured for invitation and said, "Please come in, both of you."

I quickly followed his example and said, "Please, please, please."

Li Jin smiled, turned around and left without saying anything.

I quickly picked up the plate of fried cakes and ate it while following Zheng Xian.

There were no servants in the mansion, nor any guards. The three of us walked in as if they were in an empty place, weaving in and out, and soon reached the gate.

But when I got to the gate, I was shocked. Outside the open gate stood a row of royal guards holding silver spears. Their keep-away-from-people look made me terrified!

Yiping hugged his arms and said in a trembling voice: "Second brother, why is there an officer here?"

Yiping thought these people were here to arrest him and was frightened.

Looking at the row of blinding silver lights outside the door, I was also shocked!

I didn't expect that Zheng Xian actually sent the Imperial Guards to arrest me. Is he going to dismember me at the Meridian Gate?

I was so shocked that I grabbed Yiping and turned around to run.

Li Jin quickly grabbed my arm and said, "Don't panic, don't panic, we are not here to arrest you, just follow me."

Li Jin pulled me out, and the imperial guards outside really didn't cause me any trouble.

Li Jin pulled me to the side of the alley, where a carriage was already parked.
