Chapter 595: Not a single one has a conscience

A few days later, Lu Datou brought back news, saying that the matter had been handled.

And then...

And then there was no then.

The prison guards sent to watch the Xu mansion reported that everything in the Xu mansion had been as usual in recent days. As for the Shen father and son, no one from the Xu family had appeared.

Medical Official Mu frowned tightly; this shouldn't be.

Chen Guanlou laughed loudly and simply called Lu Datou over, "Are you sure the message reached Master Xu Jinsong's ears?"

"The small one dares to guarantee with his head on his neck that the message indeed reached Master Xu's ears."

"What proof do you have?"

"This time I got to know the eldest son of the Xu mansion's steward, and we drank and gambled together last night. I probed and learned about this matter from the steward's son; Master Xu Jinsong must have already learned the news of the Shen father and son entering the capital. Brother Chen, did something unexpected happen? Do you want me to go and inquire again?"

"You continue to interact with the Xu family's people. If you are short of silver, go to Qian Fugui and take it, just say I said so."

"Alright!" Lu Datou was overjoyed and excited. As long as there is money, he will do anything.

After dismissing Lu Datou, Chen Guanlou looked at Medical Official Mu with a smile, "Old Mu, you might lose this round."

"Lu Datou's words cannot be fully believed."

"That's fine, let's watch for a few more days. It just so happens that the Xu mansion's steward is coming to visit Third Master Xu today. I have already arranged for people to watch, to see if Third Master Xu will take the initiative to inform the steward. If Third Master Xu says nothing, I will also arrange for people to remind the Xu mansion's steward."

"The Master initially liked Third Master Xu quite a bit, why do you feel disgust now?"

Medical Official Mu was very curious.

Chen Guanlou tsked, "At first, I was blind and thought Third Master Xu was a person like me. He does have some similarities with me, but the gap in certain concepts between us is too big; he is no longer worthy of being my friend."

Medical Official Mu's mouth twitched; they all say that a woman's face changes as fast as turning a book, and men are no exception. Look at Prison Warden Chen, the speed of this face change, he has held a grudge against Third Master Xu.

Third Master Xu really didn't say anything.

So the prison guard was ordered to secretly reveal the news of the Shen father and son to the Xu mansion's steward.

The steward was getting on in years and was a servant born in the Xu mansion. When the Shen family was mentioned, he naturally thought of the Shen clan who were exiled to Xizhou twenty or thirty years ago.

He asked a nosy question, "I don't know where the Shen father and son are staying now?"

"I heard people say they are receiving treatment at the Mu family's medical clinic."

"Thank you!"

The Xu mansion's steward left in a hurry.

Chen Guanlou chatted with Medical Official Mu: "Old Mu, your understanding of human nature is still too shallow."

Pfft!

Medical Official Mu gritted his teeth, "This matter still needs to be watched. I don't believe that there is not a single person in the Xu family with a conscience. Xu Jinsong is an auxiliary minister of the political hall; if he is an ungrateful person, I will definitely..."

"Definitely what? Could it be that you can impeach him?" Chen Guanlou teased.

Medical Official Mu's face was livid, "The Xu family has several young wives who have been in the mansion for several years without pregnancy, and the concubines below are also without pregnancy. And our Mu family is best at treating this kind of problem."

"Women cannot get pregnant, or a group of women cannot get pregnant, then it must be the man who has a problem. You are a male doctor..."

Chen Guanlou didn't continue, because he knew how to read the room.

Medical Official Mu said angrily: "Our Mu family is not only good at seeing male diseases, but also good at conditioning gynecology."

"Then why did you run to the Heavenly Prison to be a medical official, wasting your talent."

Medical Official Mu hummed, "I only said that our Mu family is good at treating infertility, I didn't say we are only good at this one. External injuries, internal injuries, medicine making, our Mu family is good at all of them."

"Also good at making poison. With so many family-inherited medical skills, how come Mu Qingshan didn't learn a single one?" If it weren't for Mu Qingshan having a face like a Mu family member, he couldn't help but suspect that the other party was not a seed of the Mu family.

"He is just a half-baked person. Being a village doctor is fine, but practicing medicine in the capital, the Mu family's reputation would be ruined by him. It's better to pursue an official career; anyway, he has little interest in medicine."

Medical Official Mu said with great disdain.

Chen Guanlou:...

So Mu Qingshan is at the undergraduate level of a local medical school, while Medical Official Mu is at the professor level of a top medical school. No wonder he looks down on Mu Qingshan and doesn't let him practice medicine, worrying that the Mu family's reputation will be damaged.

Think about it, a family of professors and top students, suddenly a descendant at the level of an ordinary second-tier college appears, it's shameful. Change careers! After changing careers, even if it's shameful, it won't affect the Mu family's reputation.

Chen Guanlou silently gave Medical Official Mu a thumbs up.

Medical Official Mu looked at him, his expression a bit inexplicable.

Chen Guanlou smiled and said: "Your Mu family, teaching children well, not bad, not bad. Not obsessed with the idea that all descendants must practice medicine."

"Medical skills, how can they be forced. If you are not careful, you will kill people, and you can't be sloppy at all. That half-baked level of Mu Qingshan, humph, is only worthy of being a Private Secretary by the Master's side."

Mu Qingshan, who was working hard in the signing room, sneezed several times. He wiped his nose; he had a cold. He stretched out his hand and took his own pulse; he was very healthy! It's just that his liver fire was a bit high, and he needed to drink something to clear the fire.

"If there is not a single person in the Xu family with a conscience, do you intend not to treat the Xu family's infertility?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

Medical Official Mu gritted his teeth; for a moment, it seemed difficult to decide.

"As a Heavenly Prison medical official, how can I see a doctor for outsiders."

It's all farting.

If you don't see doctors for outsiders, is the Mu family medical clinic open for fun!

Chen Guanlou reached out and hugged Medical Official Mu's shoulder, "Infertility that even the Imperial Hospital can't cure, as a Heavenly Prison medical official, your medical skills are average, how can you have the face to join in."

Medical Official Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I know Old Mu, your medical skills are excellent, but outsiders don't know it. That group of imperial physicians must have selfish motives, and they must not be willing to promote you. If the Xu family wants to beg before you, I'm afraid they won't even have a chance."

Once Medical Official Mu heard this, he nodded; this is the truth.

The Mu family is a medical family, but they don't mix in the Imperial Hospital. After decades, they no longer deal with powerful families. When powerful families need a doctor, they naturally won't think of the Mu family. Plus, that group of people in the Imperial Hospital has selfish motives. It is really unlikely that Medical Official Mu wants to enter the Xu family to treat diseases.

Medical Official Mu figured out the joints and laughed loudly.

"That is very good!"

The Xu family has no conscience, heaven gives him a punishment of having no descendants, haha, this matter is very good.

In his heart, he actually still hopes that Xu Jinsong can have some conscience.

Whether the Xu family has a conscience, several days passed, the Xu family had no movement, and the Shen father and son had no movement. It seems that Chen Guanlou is about to win the bet.

Medical Official Mu was furious, not because he lost the bet, but because he didn't believe he would misjudge people.

"I have been messing around in the Heavenly Prison for so many years and have seen many dark sides of human nature. However... the Xu family is now rich and luxurious, and they could help the Shen family with a wave of their hands, why turn a blind eye? The Shen family can't threaten the Xu family."

"A person has been down and out for a long time, and later started to prosper, so they will try every means to cover up everything from the time they were down and out, especially things that are shameful and hurt their self-esteem. The Shen family has a great debt of gratitude to the Xu family, but they happen to be down and out, and are still exiled criminals. How do you want the Xu family to treat the Shen family? This degree is not easy to grasp. Not sending people to intercept and kill the Shen father and son is already considered to have a little conscience."

"Human nature is so dark, it's really disappointing." Medical Official Mu made up his mind that even if the Xu family came to the door to seek medical treatment one day, he must refuse. ===== CHAPTER 596 =====
