Jiang Youran, reborn at the age of four, decided to marry her mother, Mrs. Su—who died in depression before she was 28 in her previous life—to her cousin, Duke Ping, who had always harbored feeling...
She had already guessed that Manager Liu was probably looking for a son-in-law to carry on the family line and inherit the Liu family's wealth.
Manager Liu's expression changed.
She listened as the thin man beside her whispered a few more words of advice before looking up and asking Xiao Youran, "Little sister, we wouldn't believe it if you didn't tell us. It's truly unbelievable for anyone to have this happen to them. Do you, a little girl like you, even know what venereal disease is?"
Now that things have come to this, she's not going to hide it anymore. Since everyone here knows about her son's shameful deeds, she's not afraid to bring it up.
Xiao You Ran shook her head innocently, "I don't know."
Manager Liu was about to explode.
But Xiao Youran pulled Jiang Youchen over and said with a grin, "I don't know, but brother knows."
Jiang Youchen: ...
Fine, he's already prepared to take the blame for his sister anytime, anywhere.
He then puffed out his little chest, switching into his protective brother mode: "Well, how can a grown man not know what venereal disease is!"
Mrs. Su covered her face: ...
You actually know about venereal diseases?! Is that something to be proud of?!
Little Youran nudged her brother again and said in a soft, cute voice, "My brother has received the true teachings of the Divine Physician of Medicine King Valley, and he can cure your son's illness."
Both Manager Liu and his wife cast suspicious glances at Jiang Youchen.
Looking at his sister's expression, Jiang Youchen nodded resolutely, "Yes, I can try!"
The first rule of a sister-protecting fanatic: unconditionally believe what your sister says! If your sister says he can cure it, then he can cure it!
The man then advised, "Wife, Yaozu is our family's only bloodline, why don't we give it a try?"
The burly man wanted to object, "How could you, a mere child, possibly know how to cure such a dirty disease?"
The words "dirty disease" were extremely grating to Manager Liu's ears. He glared at him and said, "Stop talking. Let's just let this little brat try it out. If it doesn't work, the deal is off!"
The burly man shook his head helplessly and left with the others in a huff.
Madam Su looked at her son and daughter with great concern, but she couldn't ask in front of everyone. She could only ask with her eyes, "Son, when did you become the successor of the Medicine King Valley's divine physician?"
Jiang Youchen seemed to understand her mother's question, and gave her two winks at her younger sister, meaning that she should ask her sister if she had any questions, as she didn't know and dared not ask.
Zhou's several cousins watched helplessly as Jiang Youchen led his younger sister away with the Liu couple.
Zhou asked Su with concern, "Cousin, aren't you worried that the two siblings will be tricked?"
Madam Su covered her mouth and chuckled, "Our little You Ran is a lucky charm, what's there to be afraid of?"
In truth, she didn't know where her confidence in her daughter came from. It seemed that her inexplicable confidence in her daughter had become even more pronounced since the day the Yun family in the capital was raided.
Zhou's worries vanished instantly, replaced by a strange sense of confidence. "Indeed, hehehe, we were overthinking it!"
On the other side, Manager Liu took the two children and got into the carriage, heading towards home.
The thin man kept sizing up the brother and sister, secretly planning that if they couldn't save his son, he would use the two children as hostages to force their parents to return the cloth shop, and that would be the end of it.
The carriage soon came to a stop, and the Jiang siblings jumped off and entered a large house.
The Liu family was indeed wealthy; their mansion was built to be almost magnificent.
Manager Liu didn't bother to say anything more to them and led the brother and sister directly to their son's bedroom.
As soon as you step inside, a strong smell of medicine mixed with a putrid odor hits you.
Xiao Youran covered her mouth and gestured for her brother to come forward and pull back the bed curtains.
A pale-faced, thin man on the bed was so frightened that he covered his eyes with his hands.
Xiao Youran looked at the few remaining luck points in her notebook, sighed, and, adhering to the principle of saving every bit of luck, asked directly, "I need a medicine that can cure venereal disease."
However, a warning line flashed in red: "Vegetative state disease has a long course, and the medications vary. Please confirm which stage it is?"
Xiao Youran rolled her eyes inwardly, but then wondered if this little notebook had any diagnostic function.
She then pushed her brother forward, and with her chubby fingers, she guided his fingers to press against the man's pulse. In her mind, she silently murmured, "Please diagnose this patient's illness."
It's good to confirm, she was afraid that prescribing the wrong medicine would endanger Qingqing's life.
However, another warning line appeared in red: "Out of scope of business."
Xiao You Ran: ……
Okay, it's true that diagnosing illnesses is a bit complicated. Even in later times, various instruments and scans are needed to make a diagnosis.
So she asked about the duration of Manager Liu's illness and his usual symptoms.
Preliminary assessment suggests it is early-stage syphilis.
The most effective treatment for syphilis is penicillin, but penicillin cannot be produced by traditional Chinese medicine in this era. Therefore, syphilis was considered an incurable disease in ancient times.
Xiao You Ran lowered her eyes and silently murmured a sentence, "Please give me penicillin."
She watched helplessly as her luck value dropped to 1, and the entire notebook turned red, as if issuing a warning to her.
She quickly clutched her little notebook, which was used for keeping accounts; she needed to accumulate luck points as soon as possible!
She stepped back, and the shopkeeper Liu saw the two little kids and casually took their pulses, but did nothing else. He simply lifted the blanket and called the doctor's apprentice to come and see.
Jiang Youchen was so frightened by this sudden display that she almost ran away.
So, so this is what venereal disease is...
Just now, I solemnly assured my mother that she knew...
He covered his face, feeling utterly mortified.
Fortunately, my sister had already stepped back and didn't witness this disgusting scene.
He turned his face away and quickly covered himself with the blanket.
Manager Liu looked at the two of them with great suspicion, "Is that all?"
When those senior doctors came to examine each patient, they seemed determined to make all those malignant sores disappear.
Jiang Youchen found it too offensive to look at, nodded haphazardly, and then said, "Aunt Liu, could you please step outside for a moment? We need to discuss how to use the medicine."
The shopkeeper, Liu, looked at the brother and sister and saw them as increasingly like swindlers, but he wouldn't have it. "You two can discuss whatever you want right here."
Xiao Youran tugged at her brother's sleeve, quickly stuffed a box of medicine into his hand, and said sweetly, "No need to discuss it. Just as the doctors diagnosed him, this young man does indeed have venereal disease. Brother, you have medicine to cure him, right?"
Jiang Youchen immediately understood, took the box of medicine into his palm, put it into his sleeve, and then took it out again. "Aunt Liu can give him this medicine."
