Qin Susu glared coldly at Prefect Xie and the two constables beside her.
Both officers carefully retreated, not wanting to invite a sudden attack from the woman.
The two officials were so useless that Prefect Xie was filled with resentment.
Two useless people!
Not to mention the two officials, even he himself felt a bit intimidated by Qin Susu.
He carefully moved a few steps away from Qin Susu, and the arrogance he had shown earlier was no longer on his face.
He slightly tugged at the corners of his lips, forcing a smile as he looked at Qiu Yan, his expression changing from cold to kind.
"Dr. Qiu, please wait! Please wait! I misspoke just now, and I hope you will forgive me."
Because of his son, he had no choice but to put aside his pride.
Qiu Yan paused again, then turned around and looked calmly at Prefect Xie.
"Young master, are you alright?"
"Sigh!" Is this female doctor deliberately mocking him?
Prefect Xie looked mournful. "Young lady, is my son's abdomen truly ulcerated? I've never heard of such a thing before."
His son is now suffering immense pain, with cuts and festering sores, but I imagine he can endure it.
It's no wonder he was furious; he was an official of the Northern Qi, and the people had long disliked him.
Just last year, he was also assassinated.
Therefore, he always felt that there were remnants of the Western Qin regime who wanted to harm him.
This was once the Western Qin Dynasty; perhaps many Western Qin warriors still remain here.
Therefore, he is much more cautious than most people in everything he does.
Qin Susu immediately interjected, "You haven't heard of it because you don't understand medicine."
Actually, she didn't know anything about medicine; all she felt was that Qiu Yan was too bold.
Deep down, she had some doubts: could Qiu Yan really cure Young Master Xie's illness?
She had never heard of the treatment method that Qiu Yan mentioned.
Prefect Xie waved his hand, signaling the gatekeepers to quickly close the gate, fearing that Qiu Yan and the other woman might disappear in an instant.
"Yes, I don't know anything about medicine, but Dr. Qiu, are you sure you can cure my son's illness?"
As he said this, his fists were clenched tightly, and his entire body, down to every single hair, was tense.
Qiu Yan shook her head and said, "No, I only have a 10% chance!"
She is just an ordinary doctor, not a miracle worker.
She didn't have modern, advanced medicine; she didn't have antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Everything depended solely on her own immune system.
What if, just what if?
“One-tenth…” Prefect Xie slumped to the ground.
His lips trembled. How could it only be one-tenth?
If they don't treat him, are they just going to let his son suffer a painful death?
"Okay, one step at a time."
Having hope is better than having no hope at all.
At least there's still a chance to survive.
"Once you cure my son, I will keep my promise and give you both a hundred taels of silver as a reward. From then on, you two can settle down in my Xie residence. Just stay here in peace. I will provide you with fine clothes and food to prevent my son's old illness from recurring. It's not good for young ladies to always be showing their faces in public."
He hoped in his heart that his son would get better.
He had long wanted to find a wife and concubine for his son, but now that his son was seriously ill, no one was willing to marry him.
He didn't want his son to marry just any ordinary woman.
If I could marry a female healer, that would be the best outcome.
Qiu Yan thought to herself, "This Prefect Xie is really joking."
"Huh?" Qin Susu was immediately stunned. Living a life of luxury, being fed and clothed? Is there such a good thing?
The next moment, when she saw Qiu Yan's calm eyes, she couldn't help but smile.
