Gu Jiao's complexion turned pale, and Su Tingyan turned to look at the patriarch, "These matters were my own investments, and I didn't want to disclose them publicly to avoid unnecessary trouble. Please help me keep this a secret from everyone here, and don't speak of it to others."
The patriarch sighed, "We were wrong. You didn't want it known, yet we brought it out into the open and pressured you to speak. Keeping it a secret for you is only right. Everyone here has heard, I hope this news won't be heard by anyone outside. You must not tell your families either."
Having just doubted Su Tingyan, he already felt somewhat guilty inside and naturally agreed to Su Tingyan's request for secrecy.
Su Tingyan graciously said, "Thank you, patriarch."
Su Tingyan then looked toward Gu Jiao, who was still in complete disbelief.
Meanwhile, the doctor had already started to dodge away.
Su Tingyan looked at him, "You're a doctor from Changling, aren't you?"
"I... I am..."
