Chapter 47: Medicinal Lead

Chen Qingqing glanced at Fan Tongyi. The system had just prompted her that this man was not only greedy, stingy, selfish and indifferent, but also lustful. She could choose to treat him herself, play a prank on him, or make him lose money.

In this case, it would not be my style not to let him suffer a little.

She said solemnly, "Master Fan, this is a stubborn disease. Acupuncture can only alleviate it. If you want to cure it completely, you must use herbal medicine."

Fan Tong didn't expect that Chen Qingqing was really capable. She just pricked his belly a few times with a silver needle and the itch in his belly went away.

The contemptuous look on his face disappeared, and his eyes were filled with respect.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Chen. Please just prescribe the medicine."

Chen Qingqing sneered in her heart, you old pervert, you want to take advantage of me as soon as we meet. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, I will be unworthy of your name.

She pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Mr. Fan's words are very good, but this prescription is very special. I'm afraid you can't eat it!"

"Miss Chen, what are you talking about? I just said it, as long as I can survive, I'm willing to eat shit." Fan Tong waved his hand at Shi Taishou who was standing beside him, "Hurry and prepare paper and ink."

"Yes, sir. I'll go right away." Shi Taishou prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in a moment.

Chen Qingqing wrote a prescription and handed it to Fan Tong, "Master Fan, please follow the instructions and remember that all the herbs are essential. If you miss even one, all your efforts will be wasted."

"Don't worry, Miss Chen. I'll have my servants prepare it right away." Fan Tong looked down, his smug expression instantly froze. "Is this thing edible?"

Shi Taishou was a little confused. He stepped forward to take a look, frowned, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Oh, these things are really hard to swallow."

Mrs. Fan rolled her eyes anxiously. "Look at you guys, you're so shocked. What kind of medicine is this? It tastes so bad."

"Let me see." Fan Hun stepped forward and took the prescription, reciting, "Five pig gallbladders, two liang of coptis root, two liang each of ginger, onion, garlic, licorice, fangfeng, and jingjie..."

"Gallbladder and coptis root, these two things are too bitter, how can I drink them!" Mrs. Fan grinned when she heard it.

After reading it, Fan Hun couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Onions, ginger, garlic, and licorice, isn't this a clear stew of bitter gall and coptis root soup? This thing must be very strong to drink, enough for my father to drink a pot."

"You bastard, you're being silly again." Fan Tong frowned, looking extremely distressed. "Miss Chen, these two things are too bitter. Can you change them to something else?"

Chen Qingqing was pleased in her heart, but she kept a straight face. She said seriously, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. If you want to stay alive, you must use these two medicines."

Fan Tong's brows knitted into a frown, "What good can pig gallbladder do? This is the first time I've heard that this thing can cure diseases."

"You don't understand this, do you?" Chen Qingqing pretended to explain seriously to dispel their doubts. "Although bitter gallbladder is bitter, it has the effects of promoting diuresis and reducing swelling, clearing away heat and detoxifying. The same is true for coptis root. It not only clears away heat and dampness, but also purges fire and detoxifies. Both herbs can clear and reduce heat, and neither is indispensable."

"Then how do you explain the onions, ginger and garlic?"

"Onions, ginger and garlic are pungent in nature and can disperse the heat. They have the effects of dispelling exterior pathogens, promoting qi and activating blood circulation."

"Oh, I see." Fan Tong nodded repeatedly after hearing Chen Qingqing's well-reasoned explanation, and his worries were gone. "Okay, okay, Miss Chen, don't worry. I'll have someone prepare the medicine right away, and I'll make sure all the pig gall is eaten."

Chen Qingqing waved her hand. "Don't worry. While preparing the herbs, you also need to prepare the medicine. If you don't have the medicine, even if you eat ten pounds of gallbladder, it won't work."

"What? We need a herbal remedy?" Fan Tongyi was confused and scratched his head. "Miss Chen, what herbal remedy? Is that easy to find?"

Chen Qingqing's face was tense. "It's easy to find. The medicine is horse urine."

"What, horse urine? That stuff can cure diseases? You are kidding!" Fan Tong was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground.

Chen Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly, her face serious. "Who's kidding you? Horses are dragon-like creatures, belonging to the Yang element. Their urine can dispel wind and dampness, promote diuresis and reduce swelling. You have evil wind entering your navel. If you want to eliminate it, you must use horse urine."

Fan Tong smacked his head as he listened. "This strange disease is so infuriating! I have to eat gall and drink horse urine just to survive. What a sin I have committed!"

Mrs. Fan frowned in disgust, but still persuaded, "Master, Miss Chen is a great doctor. The prescription she prescribes is definitely correct. Let's take the medicine according to the prescription!"

"You make it sound easy, but horse urine is so smelly and foul-smelling, how can you swallow it?" Fan Tong rolled his eyes at her angrily.

Fan Hun couldn't help laughing out loud, "Dad, you just said that as long as it keeps you alive, you're willing to eat shit. Now Miss Chen hasn't asked you to eat shit yet, isn't it? She just asked you to drink some horse urine. Just bear with it and drink it down with your nose pinched!"

Fan Tong stamped his feet in anger. "You bastard, Dad was just saying that casually. Who knew there was a medicine made with urine? Don't even think about drinking that stuff. Even smelling it would make you puke."

"Dad, you're going a bit too far. I remember you were having a passionate affair with a girl named Hu Jiao in Chunfeng Tower. You loved smelling her scent, saying it had an intoxicating floral fragrance.

I couldn't resist my curiosity and went to look for it. Oh my god, that wasn't a floral scent at all, it was just rouge and powder mixed with body odor, which almost made me sick to death. I really had to deal with it with my nose twisted. If you can even stand that smell, how can you not enjoy horse urine? I can't believe it." Fan Hun said, shaking his head.

These words really irritated Madam Fan. She slapped her hands and launched into a rage at Fan Tong, "You old pervert, you actually still have this hobby? There are any concubines in the house that can't satisfy you, yet you still go looking for that slutty vixen to have fun with? I think you'll be so itchy that you'll die, I won't even let you drink horse urine."

"Madam, don't be angry. This is not true at all. Hun'er is just talking nonsense." Fan Tong stamped his feet anxiously and kept winking at his son, wanting him to help cover up the matter.

Fan Hun ignored him completely, his neck stiffened, "Who is talking nonsense? I am telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask Steward Shi. He can testify."

Shi Taishou quickly shook his head and waved his hands at Fan Hun, signaling him to stop talking nonsense, and casually explained to Madam Fan, "Madam, calm down. This, this, this, this is all nonsense. The master is still ill. It's not too late to explain to you after he recovers."

"Alright, I'll settle the score with you later." Madam Fan glared at Fan Tongyi angrily and said to Chen Qingqing with a smile, "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, I made you laugh. According to your opinion, how much horse urine is appropriate and how should it be taken?"
