"Could it be... an appendicitis?" Qiu Yan asked. The gatekeeper paused slightly, but waved his hand, "Go on, go on..."
They're adults, and they don't want people to talk about it everywhere.
The words "intestinal abscess" were on Qin Susu's mind.
This illness doesn't sound like a good one.
Ling Qi had heard a bit of it, and they recalled an earlier incident in their military camp where a soldier had died from abdominal pain.
He remembered that the young soldier had suffered terribly back then.
This disease... is incurable!
If it really is this disease...
Is Xiaoyan... well cured?
Fine, let her go in and try. With him and Ling Ba here, Xiao Yan will be fine.
Like Qiu Yan, Ling Ba quietly watched the gatekeeper in front of him.
He knew that Xiao Yan would not enter the manor if she could not be cured.
"Judging from your appearance, you seem to know a little about medicine." The gatekeeper nodded, but Qiu Yan in front of him was far too young.
He reminded him:
"Girl, if you're just repeating hearsay, you should leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might end up with nothing but injuries instead of money."
Qiu Yan thought to herself, how could that be? There's no reason to give up money when there's money to be made. Besides, it's even more impossible to earn money while getting injured. There are three experts following her.
"If I can cure your young master, your lords will be thanking me profusely, not punishing me."
"Look at you, you seem like someone who's seen the world," the gatekeeper said.
At least, the female doctor in front of them wasn't frightened by their young master's illness.
The gatekeeper noticed that Qiu Yan remained calm and composed, showing no discomfort whatsoever from his words, so he stopped trying to persuade her and only gave her a brief instruction:
"Let me warn you, our lord can get a beating when he gets angry. With your delicate skin, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. So, don't say anything you shouldn't. You don't know, those two quack doctors were so confident in front of our lord, saying they could definitely cure our young master's illness. But as soon as they were diagnosed, they were completely dumbfounded."
Qiu Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, if I am not knowledgeable enough, I will leave on my own and will certainly not exaggerate."
Hearing Qiu Yan speak like this, the three people behind her all breathed a sigh of relief.
The gatekeeper sighed, feeling that the female doctor's trip would be pointless.
"Alright, just for what you said, come with me. Remember, never call yourself a miracle doctor or make any boastful statements, lest you suffer physical pain."
As for their son's illness, let's leave it to fate.
He only dared to say these words to himself.
The gatekeeper gave another series of instructions, and was about to step into the mansion when he suddenly turned around and looked at the three people behind Qiu Yan.
“Miss, according to the rules of this manor, only you are allowed to enter. The other three must wait outside. The master has instructed that their young master needs to be quiet.”
Qin Susu: After all this talk, you're not letting me in?
She was worried about letting Xiaoyan go alone; if she said something wrong and was punished by the prefect, she would need Xiaoyan's help.
“Brother gatekeeper, I’m always there to help Xiaoyan when she’s practicing medicine.”
The gatekeeper glanced at Qin Susu, saw that she was just a weak woman, and nodded slightly in acquiescence.
Ling Qi's expression turned serious.
He was about to speak when he saw Qiu Yan shake her head at him. He met her gaze and really wanted to go in with her.
But Ling Ba slightly pursed his lips, his gaze falling on the rooftops in the distance.
He immediately understood and laughed:
"Alright, we'll wait outside."
