"What kind of country quack is qualified to treat this old man?!"
"Just do as you say. Be quick and clean, and don't let anyone find out!" Xiao Mu nodded and immediately agreed to his subordinate's suggestion to cut his own neck!
Anyway, they are just a few outsiders, and if they die, no one will care.
"Wait a minute, let them in." However, Jiang Fan shook his head and refused.
He just wanted to check on Mr. Xiao's condition.
However, Jiang Fan himself is not convenient and unwilling to treat the old man in his disguised identity. However, he can use Liang Huiyin's help to see how serious the old man's illness is.
"This... isn't a good idea. You know, the head of the family said that no one is allowed to treat the old man!" Xiao Mu lowered his voice and said to Jiang Fan.
"Do I understand the new patriarch's thoughts, or do you? This is what the new patriarch means! No one will suspect us if we are open and honest. Always hiding things from the old patriarch will only arouse suspicion! It makes us feel guilty like thieves."
"Now, do you know what public opinion is saying about our master? We can use this opportunity to let everyone see that it was the old man himself who was terminally ill, and it was not us who did anything. Anyway, they are just quack doctors from a few places, and their medical skills are average. They can't cure him, so it's not serious." Jiang Fan said coldly.
"Well, why are you still standing there? Why don't you follow Chief Manager Xiao's instructions and invite those two people in!" A higher-ranking official can crush someone with authority. Xiao Mu didn't dare to doubt it and could only speak angrily to his subordinates.
"Yes." The subordinate immediately went to do it.
After a while, Jiang Fangao sat on a chair in the hall, while Liang Huiyin and Gu Qingya were brought forward by servants.
Jiang Fan looked at Gu Qingya, who was still as pure as a lotus emerging from the water, natural and unadorned, and could feel that her aura had already broken through to the innate realm.
One has to sigh that the extremely yin body is indeed one in a million. Once one starts practicing, one can make rapid progress and far surpass others.
However, everything has its good and bad sides. While Gu Qingya was practicing, her extremely yin body would also absorb the yin energy of the world. The deeper her cultivation, the more yin energy she would accumulate.
If you don’t practice dual cultivation and harmonize yin and yang, even if you rely on powerful medical treatment, it will only be a temporary solution and not a cure for the disease.
Especially if he breaks through to the Martial Saint stage, the situation will be even more serious! Even Liang Huiyin's medical skills may not be able to cure it.
However, Gu Qingya was still far from becoming a Martial Saint, so Jiang Fan was too lazy to remind her.
"This is the chief steward and deputy chief steward of our Xiao family! Why don't you two greet each other quickly when you meet!" The servant of the Xiao family pointed at Jiang Fan and Xiao Mu above.
"Greetings, Chief Steward and Deputy Chief Steward!" As an imperial physician, Liang Huiyin knew the chief steward's power and understood that the King of Hell was easier to deal with than the little ghosts. These servant leaders cared most about their reputation, so she didn't want to argue with them and immediately bowed to greet them.
Seeing that the master did not dare to be negligent, Gu Qingya had no choice but to follow suit and salute respectfully.
Jiang Fan found it quite interesting to see his ex-wife saluting him. He just wondered what expression Gu Qingya would have when she saw that the so-called steward of the Xiao family was Jiang Fan.
"This is a text message sent to me by your old master Xiao. I was ordered to come here to treat the illness. I don't know why we are not allowed to see the old man?" At this time, Liang Huiyin took out her mobile phone and expressed her dissatisfaction.
"The old man was not feeling well and could not see people anytime and anywhere. He is feeling better now. You can go and see him if you want." Jiang Fan replied indifferently.
Just as Liang Huiyin and the others were about to leave, Xiao Mu spoke up, "Wait a minute! I need to warn you! The old man is of great importance! You must ensure that everything is safe before treating him. If you are unsure, don't treat him blindly! Otherwise, if anything happens to the old man, our Xiao family will be held responsible! Even the Imperial Hospital won't be able to save you!"
"Doctors treat illnesses like butchers slaughter pigs, so there's no such thing as a foolproof method. We will definitely try our best, but all medicines are toxic, and some treatments do have certain risks. How can you blame us?" Gu Qingya retorted angrily upon hearing this.
It was already irritating to make them wait for more than ten hours, but as soon as they met, they were asked to bow and be absolutely sure, which made them rush to come for treatment. It was really too much!
Is this how a prominent family does things?!
"Then I don't care. If your medical skills are not good, then just leave as soon as possible. There's no need to see a doctor!" Xiao Mu replied with a sneer.
"You..." Gu Qingya was so angry that she wanted to scold someone.
But Liang Huiyin, who was standing by, stopped her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will definitely make sure everything is safe!"
Seeing Liang Huiyin's attitude, Xiao Mu had no excuse to refuse and had to take them to Mr. Xiao's ward.
"Master, why should we suffer this injustice? Even if we don't curry favor with the Xiao family, we can still gain a foothold in the capital, right?" Gu Qingya lowered her voice and complained quietly to Liang Huiyin.
If she had known that going to Beijing would be so troublesome, she might as well have stayed in the provincial capital...
"It's hard to explain what's going on here in a few words. Let's go see the doctor first, and I'll tell you later." Liang Huiyin replied with a smile.
After a while, everyone finally saw the famous Mr. Xiao.
However, everyone who saw him couldn't help but gasp!
Everyone knew that Mr. Xiao was seriously ill, but no one expected him to be this seriously ill!
It’s good enough to say that he is still breathing!
I saw that he had lost consciousness a long time ago. He was so thin that there was no flesh on his body. He was just skin and bones, and every bone was clearly visible.
There was no blood on his body, and he lay there like a skeleton, looking scary.
He is relying on various tubes inserted into his body to prolong his life. Once the instruments are pulled out, Mr. Xiao's life will last no more than three minutes!
It is estimated that Xiao Cangmin only wanted the old man to hold on until the completion of his ceremony as the new head of the family, so he did not let the old man die completely.
After all, the old man is dead and he has to hold a funeral, which will delay his succession to the throne!
At the same time, the old man's life can also intimidate internal and external forces, making it easier for Xiao Cangmin to take over the family!
It can also prove to everyone that he did not kill his father to get to the position. His father passed the position to him when he was still alive!
