Chapter 25 I also know medicine



Liu'er stood outside the door again. Although the lady still asked her to be careful of eavesdroppers, she was a little unhappy this time.

The people in the Fang family are really useless. When they are wronged, they just cry and complain.

This was the case with Fang Jinxiu, this was the case with the paralytic, and now even the elderly Mrs. Fang is like this.

I wonder who Old Madam Fang will go to to complain about her grievances after being scolded by the young lady, Liu'er thought with a schadenfreude, but she also sighed and looked worried.

The young lady is an elegant lady from a scholarly family. Can she scold Mrs. Fang, who comes from a merchant family and has been doing business like a man all her life?

That's why she is unhappy. The lady should let her stay indoors to help.

Since she came to the young lady's side, she has been fighting and retreating with her. After arriving in Yangcheng, she has been at the forefront, but now the young lady seems to no longer need her.

Can a girl who is not needed by the lady still be considered a good girl?

Liu'er felt wronged and sad, and glared at the maids and servants in the yard with even more hatred.

There was still no noise coming from the room, and it was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.

Old Mrs. Fang looked at Miss Jun and put down the teacup in her hand.

"You're right, Chengyu was poisoned, and we fed him the poison ourselves," she said calmly, "and he's still taking the poison every day until he dies in a year when he turns fifteen."

Miss Jun didn't smile smugly or sneer at others saying it was her own fault, but nodded.

"It was when he was five years old that he had the disease," she said. "The maids said that although he was weak, he was not born with the disease. He became ill when he was five years old. You gave him medicine, and the medicine cured his disease, but it also cost him his life."

Let me pause here.

"Chengyu is your only blood descendant. If he is ill, you, the closest relatives, will be the ones to take care of him. The medicine and doctors he uses must be carefully selected by you and are infallible."

That's why she told Mrs. Fang that you fed Chengyu the poison with your own hands.

This is not what they want to talk about, Old Mrs. Fang trembled her lips, wanting to directly ask Miss Jun what her intention was.

"That's poison." Mrs. Fang couldn't help but say.

Miss Jun shook her head.

"It's poison, but it's also good medicine," she said, "or else it wouldn't have deceived you."

"Yes." Old Madam Fang said calmly, "This medicine is compatible with Chengyu's illness."

"After this medicine is compatible with Chengyu's disease, it becomes a new disease. The medicine can erode the meridians. In order to control the interruption of meridians, you have to take this medicine again. If you don't take this medicine, the disease will break out immediately." Miss Jun thought for a while and said.

If you don't take the medicine, you will die immediately. If you take the medicine, you will die slowly. Although you will die in the end, people are reluctant to die immediately. So even though they know that the end is despair, they have to try to quench their thirst by drinking poison and grasping at hope which is not hope.

Hope without results is more painful than despair.

Miss Jun looked at Old Madam Fang and First Madam Fang with sympathy on her face.

"This is not torturing my cousin, this is torturing you," she said.

Mrs. Fang covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. She didn't dare tell her son how painful it must be for a mother to feed her son poison mouthful by mouthful.

"When I was pregnant with him, I almost lost his life during miscarriage. I didn't expect that after he was born, I would feed him poison with my own hands." She choked up and said, "His original illness was not a big deal, but I took his life. In the end, I took his life."

"Aunt, why do you think like that?" Miss Jun said, "It's obviously someone else who harmed you, how can you blame yourself?"

"If I had been more careful, how could I have given Chengyu poison?" Mrs. Fang said excitedly.

"It's only a thousand days to be a thief, but there's no way to prevent thieves the day before yesterday." Miss Jun's voice became softer, but with a firm tone, "If someone wants to harm you, you can't prevent him unless you kill him."

Having said this she paused again, a trace of sadness flashing across her face.

"What's more, the person who wants to harm you may be someone you are completely defenseless against."

Mrs. Fang suppressed her tears. She took a deep breath and looked at Miss Jun.

"We have already admitted that you are right. Can you tell me who told you this?" she asked coldly.

Miss Jun looked at her and smiled.

"Grandma, you misunderstood," she said. "No one told me. I saw it myself."

Old Mrs. Fang looked at her with indifference.

"I didn't know you still had a pair of eyes that could see the past," she said sarcastically.

"I don't have eyes that know the past." Miss Jun said with a smile, "Grandma forgot that my family has been doctors for generations."

Old Mrs. Fang was stunned.

It is true that medicine is a family tradition in the Jun family, but what does it have to do with Miss Jun?

"My father learned it when he was young, and he never abandoned it when he was an official. My grandfather and father also taught me." Miss Jun said.

Because she had almost no contact with the Jun family, Old Madam Fang really didn't know anything about Miss Jun's childhood. But could she be taught such a skill?

"You knew all this from just one look and one pulse check when you saw Chengyu yesterday?" Old Madam Fang said, glancing at Miss Jun. "I didn't even know your Jun family had such a miraculous doctor."

Miss Jun nodded.

"Yes," she said, "Our Jun family has excellent medical skills, otherwise how could my grandfather cure Old Man Ning and make him willing to sacrifice his eldest grandson in exchange for his illness."

She even exaggerates.

Old Mrs. Fang was silent.

"Originally, this matter is not a secret that must be kept." She ignored Miss Jun's boasting with a gloomy face, "It's just that we didn't know who the enemy was. In order not to alarm the enemy, we just pretended that we didn't know and said that Chengyu was born with the disease."

It turns out that we still don't know who the enemy is. Miss Jun looked at Old Lady Fang with some pity.

Old Mrs. Fang ignored her sympathy.

"But this is not a secret that cannot be told," she said. "Things have already come to this point, so it doesn't matter if it is made public. So if you want to use this to threaten us, just give up as soon as possible."

Miss Jun smiled.

"Grandma," she said, "you misunderstood. Have you forgotten? In addition to telling my cousin that he was poisoned, I also said one more thing."

Old Mrs. Fang was slightly startled, and the servant's detailed description of the scene in the garden rang in her ears.

"Miss Jun then said something to the young master. She said I should go back and think about it. Maybe I can think of a way to detoxify it."

Is this the sentence?

"You, what do you mean?" Old Mrs. Fang couldn't help but ask.

This probably wasn't what she meant.

"I came back and thought about it. I can cure my cousin's poison." Miss Jun said.

"That's impossible." Mrs. Fang blurted out, "How could you?"

"Jun Zhenzhen, you don't have to be so mysterious. We have been treating Chengyu for so many years and have consulted all the famous doctors in the world, but no one can cure him." Old Lady Fang said calmly, and then paused, "Unless that genius doctor Zhang can give it a try."

Is your Jun family as powerful as Dr. Zhang?

Although Mrs. Fang did not say it out loud, this sentence expresses this meaning.

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Jun looked slightly startled.

"Dr. Zhang," she repeated.

"Don't you know about Dr. Zhang?" Old Lady Fang said with a hint of sarcasm, "He is not like your Jun family whose medical skills are miraculous and only you say so. His medical skills are superb and everyone in the world is talking about it."

Of course she knew Dr. Zhang. As Dr. Zhang's only disciple and having followed him for six years, who else knew Dr. Zhang's medical skills better than her?
