Seeing Fan Hun in such a cowardly state, yet still preoccupied with his debauchery, Chen Qingqing's eyes flashed with a cold glint as she spoke with sarcasm.
“Young Master Fan, if you don’t want to meet your ancestors soon, I advise you to watch your behavior. You might live a few more years. Otherwise, no one can save you.”
Fan Hun shook his head repeatedly, "Miss Chen, you've misunderstood me. Even if you asked me to go out and cause trouble again, I wouldn't dare."
But I have several wives and concubines in my household. If I don't fulfill my duties for a long time, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it. If they cheat on me again, then I'll really become a cuckold...
Hearing him spout nonsense, Chen Qingqing's face immediately darkened. "Young Master Fan, I'm just a doctor, only responsible for treating illnesses and saving lives. As for what happens in your room, that's none of my business. Whether you want to live or die is up to you."
Madam Fan gave Fan Hun a reproachful look, "Son, those are all external matters. Just listen to Miss Chen and focus on cultivating your character and getting your health back. That's the most important thing."
Fan Tong also said earnestly, "Yes, Hun'er, your mother is right. It's not worth losing your life for a moment of pleasure."
"Alright, to save my life, I'll try to endure it for half a year." Fan Hun said with a mournful face, looking aggrieved. "Miss Chen, why is this illness causing hair loss? Look at my head, it's all hard-boiled. When will my hair grow back? I can't even go out in public like this."
Chen Qingqing looked at his small eyes and big mouth, which made him look like a hairless pig's head.
As she watched, she almost burst out laughing. She coughed lightly, raised her hand to cover her laughter, and shook her head with feigned seriousness.
"Your hair loss is a bit strange, it's unusual!"
Fan Hun was taken aback. "Miss Chen, what do you mean by that?"
“Normally speaking, insufficient vital energy may cause hair loss, but it shouldn’t be to the point where you are completely bald, with not a single hair left, and even your eyebrows have fallen out.”
Fan Hun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't even mention eyebrows, there's not a single hair left on that thing. I look like a green dragon now."
Upon hearing this, Madam Fan's heart, which had just settled, jumped again. "Miss Chen, how come my son has no hair left on his body? What happened?"
Chen Qingqing looked solemn, but inwardly she sneered, "Your Fan family has committed numerous evils. Not only have you withheld workers' wages, but you have also done all sorts of wrongdoings, bullying men and women."
If we don't deal with you today, when will we?
Having made up his mind, he decided to give them another good scare.
She frowned slightly and sighed deliberately, "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you, so I'd better not. Just live your normal lives. If anything strange happens around you again, good luck to you!"
Hearing these ambiguous words, Fan Tong felt a chill run from his heels to the top of his head. He said in a trembling voice, "Miss Chen, what are you talking about? Why are you saying something strange?"
"Yes, it's strange enough that my son lost all his hair overnight, how could something so strange happen?" Madam Fan also felt a chill run down her spine, her eyes filled with terror.
Fan Hun's voice was pitiful and on the verge of tears, "Miss Chen, if you know anything, just tell me quickly, don't hide anything, what exactly happened?"
“Alright, since you all want to know, then I’ll tell you.” Chen Qingqing paused for a moment and slowly said, “Based on my judgment, your hair loss is not caused by illness, but by evil spirits.”
"What? Evil spirits? Then...then that's like encountering a ghost." Fan Hun turned pale with fright. "Miss Chen, please don't scare me, I'm easily frightened."
"Yes, Miss Chen, that thing can scare people to death, don't talk nonsense!" Madam Fan trembled uncontrollably, terrified to the extreme.
Fan Tong was also terrified. He quickly looked around the room and said with a look of horror, "That thing isn't in the room, is it?!"
Chen Qingqing hid the smile in her eyes and pretended to be serious. "Why would I scare you? If you don't believe me, you can ask a sorceress and you'll understand."
Shi Taishou was also shocked and hurriedly said, "Madam, Master, I suspected from the beginning that something was wrong with our young master. What Miss Chen said is indeed true. The young master really has been possessed by an evil spirit."
"What happened? Tell me quickly," Madam Fan asked hurriedly.
“I have a distant relative who also had this problem. He lost all his hair after sleeping one night and was almost scared to death when he woke up. He took a lot of medicine, but it didn’t help. Later, I heard from the elders that this is called ‘ghost shaving’.”
"What? Alopecia areata?" Mrs. Fan was startled. "Then how did he recover?"
Shi Taishou shook his head with a regretful expression and sighed, "Don't even mention it. My relative was too timid. As soon as he heard that he had encountered a ghost, he passed away within three days."
Upon hearing these words, Madam Fan trembled and moved her lips but could not utter a word.
Fan Tong stared wide-eyed at Shi Taishou in astonishment. "You, you, you, are you telling the truth? How dare you spout such nonsense! I'll break your legs!"
“Sir, everything I’ve said is true. If you don’t believe me, I can bring over the wife of my distant relative, and you can ask her for the truth. Besides, Miss Chen herself said so, how could it be false?”
"What...what should we do?" Fan Tong felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart jumped into his throat. "Miss Chen, is there a way to solve this?"
"Yes, since you know this is an evil spirit possession, there must be a way to break it. Please save me quickly, I'm scared!" Fan Hun was so frightened that he was shaking like a leaf.
Chen Qingqing was initially worried they wouldn't believe her, but Shi Taishou had unexpectedly been a great help. It seemed people in this era were still quite superstitious. Since they'd taken the bait, she decided to speak her mind.
Thinking of this, she cleared her throat. “Don’t worry. As far as I know, in your case, it’s probably because you did something wrong that even the gods and ghosts couldn’t stand it. So, at midnight, they quietly came to your bedside, waved their hands over you, or licked you with their long tongues, and shaved your head completely.”
"Chen Chen Chen, Miss Chen, please stop, please stop talking, it's too scary." Fan Tong could barely speak.
Seeing this, Madam Fan quickly said to Chen Qingqing, "Miss Chen, Hun'er has been timid since childhood, and is afraid of ghosts and spirits. Don't explain these things, just tell me how to break the curse."
"Cracking the code shouldn't be too difficult, but we must find out exactly what wrongdoings you've committed to deserve this punishment."
“Our family has always been honest and upright in our dealings with people and things. We never owe anyone anything, never cheat or deceive anyone, and it seems like we have never done anything wrong.”
"Yes, Miss Chen, my wife is right. We don't steal or rob. All the money we earn is clean and honest. We have never done anything immoral."
Fan Tongyi looked completely self-righteous...
