After all, this wealthy family wasn't as glamorous as outsiders perceived; many things hidden inside were things that couldn't be brought to light.
How could this elderly person have been poisoned out of the blue? The thought sends chills down one's spine.
Wealthy families, driven by greed, scheme against each other, resorting to any means necessary, and are extremely ruthless.
This is also why he doesn't like to treat patients from wealthy and powerful families.
It was a coincidence that he had just returned from gathering herbs in the mountains when Rong Qingqing came to him in person, pleading earnestly that she would come to see her grandmother. He softened and agreed to come along.
I thought it was just a minor ailment, but I never imagined that the patient was actually poisoned.
At his age, to be poisoned at home for no reason, how can one not have doubts?
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing should have breathed a sigh of relief, because as it turned out, her prediction was correct.
It turned out that Chen had indeed tampered with the old lady's body.
But the thought of the old lady being poisoned made her heart leap into her throat again.
She could naturally tell that Dr. Xu had some reservations, which was why he spoke so conservatively.
Thinking of this, she cautiously asked, "What kind of poison is it? Can it be cured?"
Seeing that she wasn't surprised after hearing this, Doctor Xu clearly already knew what was going on. He pondered for a moment before sighing and saying, "This poison is actually a chronic one called 'Draining Swamp.' Those who are poisoned will gradually become emaciated, their skin will turn sallow, and they will look like someone who is seriously ill. Moreover, those who are poisoned by this chronic poison will die within a year to half a year, and at the time of death, no one can tell that they have been poisoned."
I observed that the old lady had been poisoned by this substance for two or three months, and her condition was quite severe. Fortunately, it was discovered in time; otherwise, I would have been powerless to save her. Because the old lady has been poisoned for quite some time, it will take considerable time to detoxify her, at least half a month, or even a month.”
Hearing this, Rong Qingqing felt a chill in her heart. This Chen family was indeed scheming and would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
Not only did they poison the old lady, but they also took control of her courtyard, so that no one else could possibly know anything about her situation.
Whether the old lady was sick or not was entirely up to her.
If the old lady unfortunately passes away, she can claim that the old lady died of illness, and no one will associate it with poisoning. Even if someone has doubts, there is no evidence.
Rong Qingqing suppressed her anger and said sincerely to Doctor Xu, "Doctor Xu, my grandmother is a kind-hearted Buddhist. She is gentle and kind and has always been charitable. But today, she was harmed by a villain. I beg you, Doctor Xu, to do your best to cleanse my grandmother of the poison."
Doctor Xu had practiced medicine in the capital for many years and had naturally heard about Madam Rong's character. Seeing that Madam Rong was so old and had been poisoned, leaving her in a coma, he felt sorry for her.
Furthermore, as a doctor with a compassionate heart, he couldn't bear to stand by and watch someone die.
"Don't worry, Miss Rong, I'll go and write up a prescription for the antidote right away. You just need to have someone prepare the medicine according to the prescription and have it decocted and taken by the old lady morning and evening without interruption. The poison in her body will definitely be cleared away," Doctor Xu said solemnly.
Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, her face full of gratitude. "In that case, thank you very much, Doctor Xu! By the way, Doctor Xu, do you have any way to wake my grandmother up first?"
"That's not difficult. I'll give her acupuncture, and she'll wake up." Doctor Xu said, taking out silver needles from his medicine box and beginning to give Old Madam Rong acupuncture.
