Dazhuang replied, "It's hard to say."
"Who knows?!" Then wouldn't all his suffering have been for nothing?
"Perhaps if we go back today, things will be better tomorrow."
"What if it doesn't get better?"
"Then come back the day after tomorrow, and I'll give you a few more acupuncture treatments."
"..."
Feng Heng asked dejectedly, "How much is the consultation fee?"
Dazhuang: "I won't charge you for today's free clinic."
These words caused Shen Qiyin and the others to look at him simultaneously.
He's always been greedy for money, what's wrong with him today?
Dazhuang: "Acupuncture and medication are only meant to control your symptoms, but your own attitude and mood are the most crucial factors for a full recovery."
"I've heard you have many concubines in your household. Find a secluded corner where no one is around and try having sex with them. It will be good for your recovery."
Feng Heng felt as if he had received a wise saying.
After writing everything down, he left.
Watching his scurrying figure, Sanwa asked Dazhuang, "Senior Brother, those last two sentences you said to him were the key to curing the disease, weren't they?"
With acupuncture and bitter medicine, isn't it all just to torment him?
Dazhuang nodded without hesitation.
Chunsheng was puzzled: "Huh?! This is unethical!"
Sanwa was even more puzzled: "Do we have medical ethics?"
Shen Qiyin held up the paper in her hand: [Obviously not]
Chunsheng: "..."
The matter was over after a few words and laughs, but Shen Qiyin knew that although they lacked medical ethics, they would not harm people for no reason.
My senior brother just said, "You have many concubines in your household," which clearly shows that he knows Feng Heng's background. Could there be some grudge between the two of them?
But if there really was some deep-seated hatred, you couldn't just play a trick on him and be done with it, could you? You didn't even take his money.
Tsk, I don't understand.
Miss Shen has always been easygoing. If she can't figure something out, she'll think about it later, and then if she forgets about it later, she simply won't have to think about it anymore.
Two days later, Shen Qiyin's health had completely recovered.
That day, when she went to Qiying Pavilion to change Qianxing's bandages, she casually asked about the bandits on Cuiyun Mountain during their conversation.
She had been keeping an eye on the notices from the Jingzhao Prefecture, but there was still no news of the bandits, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
She thought that the Eagle Pavilion was well-informed and might know.
"There is a band of mountain bandits." Qianxing didn't hide anything: "But why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"...Ah, I was treating someone a couple of days ago, and he mentioned it casually. I was just thinking of going out of the city to gather herbs these past two days, but I don't dare to wander around if there are bandits."
"There was indeed a band of bandits on Cuiyun Mountain, but they retired from their criminal life a few years ago, so it's no problem."
"She's reformed?!"
"Well, it's said that two years ago, their robbery attempt failed, and they were wiped out instead. They were so scared that they turned their old stronghold into an inn to accommodate traveling merchants and travelers."
"..." No, does anyone really dare to go?
Are you sure it's not a rip-off?
“No.” Qianxing shook his head: “Actually, the imperial court intended to suppress bandits that year, but that old man who appeared out of nowhere beat them to it.”
"Later, seeing that all the bandits on that mountain had abandoned their evil ways and turned to good, the government stopped trying to exterminate them. After all, one should not push a desperate enemy too far, and it would also save the people from hardship and financial loss."
Shen Qiyin didn't pay much attention to the others, but the word "old man" caught her attention: "You mean... the person who wiped out that whole band of bandits was an old man?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiyin's eyes showed deep thought.
Old man...
Could it be my master?
Come to think of it, Chunsheng was brought back two years ago.
Shen Qiyin originally thought that the bandits were still committing crimes, which is why she identified Chunsheng when she was arrested in order to gain merit.
Judging from the current situation, there may be more to the story...
Until late at night.
When she returned to the Shen family from Guangrentang, she did not go back to Haitang Courtyard, but instead went to Shen Guangzong's courtyard.
As soon as you enter the room, a strong smell of medicine, mixed with the stench of blood, hits you.
Honeysuckle instinctively covered her mouth and nose.
In contrast, Shen Qiyin remained calm and composed.
She was used to it.
Shen Guangzong was injured in both legs, so even though the two were siblings, she shouldn't go forward. Therefore, she only glanced at them from afar.
The inner room curtains were half-drawn, obscuring most of Shen Guangzong's body. He lay half-dead on the bed, his eyes closed, groaning in pain.
Aunt Zhou sat by the bed, sobbing.
Shen Cang reprimanded her with a stern face, telling her to swallow it back.
Just then, a servant brought in some medicine. Shen Qiyin took it, smelled it, and immediately understood what the medicine was for.
Shen Cang used to be a physician in the Imperial Medical Academy, so treating a stick injury was a piece of cake for him.
However, having spent so long in the palace, he adhered to the principle of "seeking no merit but avoiding mistakes," and his use of medicine was too mild. Although it could heal Shen Guangzong's injuries, it would take a long time.
Shen Qiyin called out Aunt Zhou and handed her the wound medicine that she had prepared earlier.
"This is my own secret medicine, which is most effective in treating external injuries. It took me a lot of effort to make just one bottle. Aunt, please have the servant apply it to my brother."
Aunt Zhou hesitated for a moment.
She hesitated before taking it, but was slapped to the ground by Shen Cang, who rushed over. The porcelain bottle shattered, and the powder inside, which smelled strongly of medicine, was scattered all over the floor. It was then blown away by the sweeping wind and completely vanished.
Shen Cang looked frustrated: "You just happened to treat a few patients, and you actually think you're a miracle doctor! I think you don't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is!"
"I am a national champion! Am I inferior to a girl who only started training halfway through your career?"
