"I came to seek medical treatment. Madam Ling refused to provide it, so I was curious how your father managed to get her consent to save his life?" The man had offered payment, but it was clear they were not interested.
When Yu Chengde heard this, he was startled. "I'm not sure, but Madam Ling is a very caring person. If you seek medical treatment, you might want to appeal to her emotions."
