Chapter 501: Was The Young Lady Well-Versed In Medicine?

Pei Feng merely wanted to remind Huo Yao of her place. He certainly had no intention of driving her away.
After all, the Pei family always took etiquette seriously.
He straightened himself and uncrossed his arms to walk out of the door without saying a word.
The butler wiped the sweat on his brow before he looked at Huo Yao and said softly, “Miss Huo, Pei Feng tends to be blunt, but he doesn’t mean any harm, so don’t take it to heart.”
Huo Yao raised her brows slightly before she entered the door. “Okay.”
The butler quickly led Huo Yao to the main hall.
An unknown middle-aged man sat with Old Mr. Pei in the main hall. He was probably in his thirties. He had thick brows, and looked serious. The aura of a government official emanated from him.
Huo Yao shifted her eyes after she took a quick glance at him.
“Little Master Huo, you’re finally here.” Old Mr. Pei looked at Huo Yao in relief.
Old Mr. Pei stood up and turned to introduce Huo Yao to the middle-aged man. “This is that friend of mine who is well-versed in medicine, Miss Huo.”
The middle-aged man looked at Huo Yao sharply. There was barely any expression on his face, and it felt as though he was examining a criminal.
Huo Yao stood there calmly and did not seem to be afraid in the slightest. A look of surprise swept across the middle-aged man’s eyes.
Barely anyone was capable of keeping their composure when he studied them intently.
However, the man continued to frown before veering his eyes away to look at Old Mr. Pei to ask him. “Are you sure that she can help?”
He had heard so much about this girl from Old Mr. Pei today that he could not help holding some hope.
He did not expect this friend of Old Mr. Pei’s to be so young when he finally met her in person.
She looked like she was 18 years old at the most.
He really did not want to underestimate people, but she was just a teenager and a girl no less. How could she be well-versed in medicine?
A look of disappointment emerged in Lin Shuwen’s eyes. He rubbed his forehead before he said, “Isn’t your eldest son almost home? I think we should wait for him to come back before examining my boss.”
Old Mr. Pei immediately realized that Lin Shuwen instinctively opposed the idea of getting a teenage girl to examine the patient.
Old Mr. Pei had deliberately hinted repeatedly to Lin Shuwen that his friend was very young. He wanted to mentally prepare Lin Shuwen to avoid awkward moments like this. From the looks of it, it was unavoidable.
Old Mr. Pei glanced at Huo Yao and was afraid she might turn and leave, so he coughed uneasily and said to Lin Shuwen, “Secretary Lin, trust me. Little Master Huo is better at medicine than me.”
Lin Shuwen went quiet for a few seconds, but ended up saying. “Let’s wait for your son to come home.”
Old Mr. Pei’s eldest boy was an intermediate apothecary at the Apothecaries’ Association. Just his illustrious career alone was sheer proof of his abilities.
Lin Shuwen did not dare to hand his boss over to this unknown young lady. He simply could not take the risk.
Old Mr. Pei walked up to Huo Yao and said softly with a worried look on his face, “Little Master Huo, can I have a word with you?”
Huo Yao did not seem annoyed when Lin Shuwen looked down on her. Instead, she looked at Old Mr. Pei calmly and replied. “Sure.”
