Doctor Liu was very displeased when he heard this: "Yesterday evening when you came for a consultation, I asked you if you wanted me to see the patient personally. An old man's consultation fee is a bit expensive. At the time, you spoke grandiosely, saying you didn't lack money and insisted on a personal consultation. Now, you're complaining about the cost? What do you mean by this, are you trying to skip out on the bill?"
Tian Xiwang was at a loss for words, recalling that Doctor Liu had indeed asked them. However, he protested, "You only said it was a bit expensive, how were we supposed to know it would cost so much silver? You deliberately didn't make the fee clear, it's obvious you want to extort us!"
