Seeing this, the pockmarked man panicked and hurriedly took out his money pouch from his pocket. "Girl, don't go, I have money."
The hook-nosed man was quite generous, taking plenty of treasures from the grave that night. It's better to spend ill-gotten gains than to look at them and feel annoyed.
"Young lady, this is my consultation fee."
"Alright, I'll take it." Chen Qingqing gestured to Xiao Wu beside her to bring over the silver, then casually tossed the medicine to the pockmarked man. "Did you remember what I just said?"
"I've got it, I've got it. Take one pill a month, for a total of three months, and also do one good deed every day."
After saying that, the pockmarked man eagerly opened the paper package, picked up a pill, and was about to eat it.
Seeing this, the onlookers began to speak up.
"This girl is amazing! She can cure illnesses that even Dr. Miao from Huichuntang couldn't. She's truly remarkable!"
"Such remarkable medical skills at such a young age. If you ever have a headache or fever again, come to Jishetang."
"I heard that Jishetang not only has good medical skills, but also has cheap medicine. I didn't believe it at first, but I've seen it for myself today."
"Yes, this girl can tell from her eyes that the three people had recently been in contact with the corpse. Just based on that, she is miles ahead of other doctors."
Listening to the people's gossip, Physician Miao was furious. He had wanted to see Chen Qingqing make a fool of herself, but instead of a fool, he saw her earn fifty taels of silver so easily and gain a good reputation without even realizing it.
Haunted by ghosts, soul-soothing herbal pills, doing a good deed every day—what kind of ghosts are these?
He had never heard of this method of treating illness in his entire life.
Something's not right.
The more Miao the doctor thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he quickly stopped them, "Wait, you've been tricked. Don't take these pills yet."
The pockmarked man paused, looking puzzled. "Doctor Miao, what do you mean by that?"
Doctor Miao sneered, "Don't listen to her nonsense. There's no such thing as needing to do a good deed every day to cure the sick and save lives. She's clearly talking nonsense and trying to fool you!"
Chen Qingqing snorted, "Mr. Miao, what reason do I have to fool them? Since you say I'm a fraud, then you cure their illness."
He then stretched out his hand to the three of them, saying, "Give me back the pills. Doctor Miao has a way to cure your corpse poison."
Grave robbing and necrophilia are real, and the three of them inexplicably contracted a strange illness; otherwise, how could the other brothers who came with him be unharmed?
The pockmarked man thought about it more and more and felt that Chen Qingqing was right. He shook his head vigorously.
"Miss Chen, we believe you."
After saying that, he glared fiercely at Doctor Miao.
"Mind your own business, we trust Miss Chen." With that, she picked up the pill and swallowed it.
The hook-nosed man was also indignant, "That's right, everyone knows you're a quack. You couldn't even cure Master Fan's itchy belly button, and when the Fan family was haunted, someone had their head shaved by a ghost overnight. This girl cured them all. Back then, the Fan family gave out porridge for half a month. Everyone in Qingshui Town knows about that."
After saying that, he and Radish Head took the candy beans and swallowed them one after the other.
Speechless after being rebuked, Physician Miao simply flung his sleeves and walked away with a dark expression.
After taking the pill, the pockmarked man felt the itching completely disappear and grinned.
"This is a wonderful medicine! It's great, I'm not itchy anymore."
"Oh, I'm not itchy anymore, really not itchy anymore." The hook-nosed man smiled and touched his body.
Chen Qingqing chuckled inwardly. The ulcer powder was already slightly toxic, and after all this trouble, the medicine's effects had long since worn off. She put on a stern face and said, "Don't be too smug. Although the itching has stopped, remember my words: you must do a good deed every day."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
"Who has the audacity to cause trouble in my sister's shop?"
A loud shout rang out in the crowd, and then Fan Hun led a group of servants into the crowd.
Fan Hun walked straight up to Chen Qingqing, a smile on his face.
"Sister, it's been a long time. I've been wanting to come and support Ruyi Tower for a while now."
I haven't been able to find the time until today, when I finally managed to get out, only to hear that someone was causing trouble at Ruyi Tower.
Let me see which blind fool dares to cause trouble on my sister's turf! I'll skin him alive and avenge my sister!
Chen Qingqing really wanted to say that they weren't familiar with each other, but she swallowed the words back. Wouldn't it be a good thing if someone stood up for her?
She gave an awkward smile. "Young Master Fan, everything is alright now. Please come inside."
"No rush." Fan Hun glanced at the pockmarked man and the others. "Pockmarked Hu, what are you doing here? Tell me, did you bring those troublemakers?"
In Qingshui Town, every local hoodlum knew Fan Hun. Mentioning Young Master Fan meant nothing more than arrogance, domineering tyranny, and a complete tyrant.
When he gets angry, he's capable of anything. Before, if he didn't like someone on the street, he'd just start punching and kicking them.
The street thugs and hooligans in town have gotten their fair share of beatings from him.
When the pockmarked man saw Fan Hun, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, his legs went weak with fear. He muttered to himself, "Damn it, what bad luck! How did I run into this devil?"
He thought that by burying his head in his crotch, Fan Hun wouldn't be able to see him, but things didn't go as planned, and he had no choice but to raise his head with a forced smile.
"Young Master Fan, you've misunderstood. It's all a misunderstanding. We've already apologized to Miss Chen. Please, please don't hold a grudge against us. We were wrong, and we'll never do it again."
"It's a misunderstanding. You damn well ruined my sister's business. You think you can just let it go with a few words about a misunderstanding? You're dreaming."
Chen Qingqing was speechless. People say that it's easier to get things done if you have connections in the court. Could this be considered bullying others and taking advantage of someone else's power?
The pockmarked man was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud. "Oh, my dear Young Master Fan, I know I was wrong. I was blind and shouldn't have done such a despicable thing."
He pointed to his face as he spoke, "Young Master Fan, we've already suffered the consequences, and we'll never dare to do it again."
Fan Tong grimaced in disgust. "Oh my, your face is all rotten. How many wicked things have you done? This is far worse retribution than what I've suffered."
After saying that, he realized something was off about his words, so he quickly coughed lightly.
"You guys have really got a death wish, daring to cause trouble at Ruyi Tower. Do you even know what kind of relationship you have with the manager of Ruyi Tower?"
Chen Qingqing felt awkward listening to this and was about to step forward to interrupt when Fan Hun continued, "Let me tell you, she is my savior and my sister. Bullying her is bullying me, and going against her is going against me."
"Tell me the truth right now, why did you come here to cause trouble? If you tell me, I'll spare you. If you don't, I'll break my vow today for my benefactor and beat you to a pulp. I'm not Fan Hun if I don't do this!"
The pockmarked man dared not hide anything and had to tell the truth, "Young Master Fan, it was Butcher Li from Taiping Bridge and the manager of Qingshui Restaurant who sent us here to cause trouble."
