Chapter 98 Seeking Other Experts
Fan Tong frowned and glanced at Fan Hun, feeling distressed. "Son, what on earth were you doing yesterday? How did you become like this?"
Fan Hun's face was pale, and he cried, "Dad, didn't I tell you? During the day, I stay at home to play with cats and dogs, walk birds and raise fish. At night, when I have nothing to do, I go to Zui Xiang Lou to drink wine and look for girls. I don't do anything else!"
"Look at you, you're such a loser. You don't do anything serious, you just spend all day looking for prostitutes. I've told you so many times not to go to prostitutes all the time. They're not a good place."
"Dad, since you said that brothels are not good places, why do you always go there?" Fan Hun curled his lips in disdain.
Fan Tong's eyebrows were raised in anger, and he looked like he was disappointed with his son. "Nonsense, how can you compare with Dad? Dad went to that place to discuss business, and he had no choice but to do it, but you..."
"Alright, Master, stop explaining." Mrs. Fan couldn't bear to hear any more and interrupted, "This is all your fault. If you hadn't taken Hun'er to those places of entertainment since he was a child, he wouldn't be so obsessed with it."
Fan Hun nodded in agreement, "Mom, you're right. This is all taught by my dad. If he hadn't taken me to that kind of place, I wouldn't have become addicted!"
Fan Tong was so angry that he stamped his feet. "You really don't learn good things, but you learn bad things as soon as you learn them. Now you've made yourself look like a fool. Give up now!"
"Mom, look at my dad, he's laughing at me." Fan Hun kicked his hands and feet, grinning and howling, "Oh, this is so embarrassing. I can't face going out like this anymore."
"My dear son, don't worry. I've already sent for a doctor." Mrs. Fan glared at Fan Tong fiercely. "Your son is in such a state, and you're still mocking him. Can you please say something nice?"
"Oh my lady, I'm not making fun of our son, I'm just worried!"
As he was speaking, a servant hurried in with a doctor.
Doctor Li didn't say much. He sat beside the bed and began to take the patient's pulse. He frowned, shook his head and sighed, and after a long time he didn't say a word.
Fan Tong paced back and forth anxiously, "Doctor Li, what disease did my son have? Why did he become like this?"
Doctor Li slowly stood up, shook his head and sighed, "Master Fan, please forgive my limited medical skills. I really cannot diagnose the root cause of your son's illness, and I don't know what medicine to prescribe."
Fan Tong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He staggered and almost fell down. He calmed himself down and said, "Doctor Li, you are a famous doctor in Qingshui Town. Please save my son!"
"I have been practicing medicine for many years, but I have never seen such a strange disease. I am really helpless. Master Fan, please seek help from someone else."
After saying this, Doctor Li picked up his medicine box and left in a hurry.
Fan Hun was stunned for a while, then suddenly remembered Chen Qingqing's words, "Dad, Mom, go ask Miss Chen quickly, she should be able to cure my strange disease."
"Yes, yes, yes, she can even cure my stubborn illness, so she can definitely cure Hun'er's strange illness as well." Fan Tong was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly. He shouted, "Butler Shi, quickly go to Nanshan Village to invite Miss Chen."
A servant hurried forward and reported, "Master, Butler Shi and Miss Chen went to Wild Wolf Valley yesterday to find medicine for you, and they haven't returned yet."
Fan Tong was extremely anxious. He only had this one precious son. If anything happened to him, this huge family business would have no one to inherit it. How would he go to the underworld to meet his ancestors after a hundred years?
He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm so anxious that I'm confused. Go and get the carriage. I'll go and invite them myself."

Shi Taishou and his two servants left Wild Wolf Valley. If they returned to Qingshui Town and heard about it, they would be punished.
The three of them discussed and drove their carriage straight to Anyang County, thirty miles away...
When the three of them arrived in Anyang County, they first found a bathhouse to take a comfortable bath, and then went to the Red Light Lane to have a good night. They hurried back to Qingshui Town in a carriage near dawn.
Shi Taishou instructed two servants to go to Nanshan Village and pretend to keep an eye on Chen Qingqing, while he returned to Fan's house to report the good news to Mr. Fan.
As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Fan Tong rushing out in a hurry. He hurried forward and asked, "Master, where are you going?"
"The shit stinks! You're back just in time. Let me ask you, Miss Chen, have you found those poisonous substances?"
"In reply to your question, Master, Miss Chen and I spent a whole night searching in Wild Wolf Valley before we gathered the necessary poisons. I came back to reassure you that Miss Chen has already started refining the medicine."
Fan Tong nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, "It's good that you found it. There's no rush to make medicine for me. Go and invite Miss Chen over."
Shi Taishou was stunned. "Master, your illness won't get worse, will it?"
"Shut your stinky mouth. Are you cursing me?" Fan Tong glared at him unhappily.
Shi Taishou quickly raised his hand and gently patted his face twice, "Master, that's not what I meant. I'm just concerned about your health."
"Alright, alright, it's not me, it's the young master who has a strange disease. Go and invite Miss Chen over, and put aside the alchemy for now."
"Yes, sir. I'll go right away." Shi Taishou didn't dare to delay and got on the carriage and drove towards Nanshan Village...
Chen Qingqing got up early. She knew that the Fan family would definitely send someone to monitor her. In order to fool them, she took out a medicine furnace from the space and took out some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing herbs and put them in the furnace to boil.
As expected, just as she finished everything, two servants walked into the yard and saw her boiling the medicine in an orderly manner, and then they felt relieved.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried horse hooves, and then a carriage stopped at the gate.
Shi Taishou ran in in a panic, "Miss Chen, something's wrong. Come with me quickly. Something serious has happened."
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing had already guessed what was going on. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's wrong, Steward Shi? What happened? Did your master pass away?"
"No, no, no, it's not my master, it's my young master who is dying."
"Your young master? He seemed fine yesterday, how come he suddenly fell ill?"
"Yeah, I don't know exactly what's going on, but it looks like the illness is pretty serious. Miss Chen, you should go and take a look."
"Okay, then I'll go with you."
