Guan was left speechless.
"Please lend me some more," Wang Kuan said, his voice filled with desperation.
Guan opened his mouth to refuse, but upon seeing the mix of despair and hope in Wang Kuan's eyes, he felt a shiver run down his spine.
He had seen similar looks many times before; it was possible that at any moment, Wang Kuan might completely break down and do something extreme. In this room, it was just the two of them, so it was better to be cautious.
Money, of course, could not be lent. Instead, he decided to say some comforting words tailored to Wang Kuan's needs; that was the easiest thing for him to do.
"Medicine can be three parts poison. If you keep taking it recklessly, the harm will outweigh the benefits. I think it’s better to consult a doctor. I have the most connections here; I can help you find a good one. Just know that doctors can be quite temperamental and picky about their patients, so it might take some time to coax them."
During this time, the old lady should focus on nurturing her health. After all this trouble, the one who feels the worst is still your relative. First, let’s stabilize her condition before starting another round of medication.
This nurturing prescription doesn’t require any rare and precious herbs; I just calculated the expenses on your account, and with the few hundred taels you have left, it should last for a while.
This persuasion tactic was dragging things out; if he could keep Wang Kuan occupied without any burdens, he would have time and energy to repay his debts before graduation.
After some back-and-forth, he finally managed to send Wang Kuan away.
He thought it would be just a minor episode, but the next morning, as Guan stepped out of his own courtyard, he unexpectedly saw Wang Kuan again.
“How did you find this place?”
Wang Kuan looked foolishly innocent as he replied, “I asked around along the way! About what you said yesterday—I thought about it and realized how right you were! It’s like a beacon of light on my road of despair!”
Last night, your relative took the nourishing prescription you gave and had a good night's sleep.
“Ha! The sedative isn’t lethal; other doctors won’t expose it either—it's an unspoken rule to give face.”
Moreover, disturbing people’s dreams late at night is too annoying; can’t they just be consulted during the day?
“Listening to you is worth more than ten years of study! I just want you to share your thoughts with me again.”
“No need!” Guan replied curtly.
“Even just talking would be fine! Speaking with you every day makes me feel more at ease.”
“Every day?!”
Was he being stuck with this person? He couldn’t stay in this house anymore!
“Hey, don’t go! You mentioned getting a doctor for my mother—who exactly are you planning to invite?”
In the following days, Guan found himself seeing Wang Kuan every day. Sometimes they met in inconsequential places, but other times they were in crucial locations where they absolutely couldn’t be discovered together. He had no idea how this rogue had figured out where he was.
Finally, Guan Naoxiu was furious. He ordered his subordinates to teach Wang Kuan a lesson, and they did so quite thoroughly. After the beating, he warned Wang not to follow him again.
Lying on the ground, barely able to get up, Wang Kuan looked at the emerging Xiao Ye and smiled, saying that it was good to have some injuries; it made others worry about him.
Xiao Ye casually shook his branches, indicating that he wouldn't worry about Wang Kuan. His only concern was whether he could complete his own mission.
After Wang Kuan staggered away, Qi Xiaomian watched his retreating figure, thinking he had the makings of a good attack dog.
Sang Qingxiao chuckled, noting that Wang Kuan's family wouldn't approve; his grandfather held the Office of Censors in disdain.
"Oh? If I really manage to recruit him, wouldn't that be interesting?"
"He's got his own plans; you shouldn't interfere."
"Tsk, you're defending him now."
"I'm just stirring up trouble here; you sit back and enjoy the show without causing any disruptions."
