The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Chen, wore hypocritical masks, but inside they were secretly overjoyed.
This notice is excellent, brilliantly posted, and it's a wonderful thing to see.
Qingya has caused such a big mess, I don't believe my eldest son won't back down.
Chen Zhanshan knew perfectly well that the old couple had never returned the fifty taels of silver to Butcher Li; they were just waiting for him to be driven to desperation.
They might take the opportunity to blackmail him into selling Qingya, but he wouldn't let them have their way.
Seeing their hypocritical and ungrateful faces, her anger surged, and she trembled with rage. "Our family affairs are none of your business. You should mind your own business!"
Old Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth in anger, "You really don't know what's good for you! Since that's the case, you can just wait to collect this brat's corpse!"
Chen Qingqing gave a cold laugh and rebuked sharply, "Stop your rotten kindness. Whether we live or die is our family's business, and it's none of our business to interfere."
Old Mrs. Chen's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water. "You, you brat, what's wrong with you? You can't even recognize all the herbs, yet you want to treat Master Fan's illness? If you cause trouble and implicate us, see how I deal with you."
Chen Qingqing's lips curled into a slight smile, her face full of mockery. "Old woman, have you forgotten that our family and your family have no relation whatsoever? That letter severing ties was something you insisted on writing."
So even if I get into a huge mess, it's my family's business and has nothing to do with you.
If you know what's good for you, go somewhere cool and stay there, and stop barking like a mad dog.
"You..." Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that her chest heaved, and she couldn't utter a word.
Seeing that these people were blocking his way, Shi Taishou shouted impatiently, "Are you all done yet? Get out of my way! My master is waiting to see a doctor."
Wu Baoan hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, saying, "Butler Shi, please wait."
Shi Taishou was slightly taken aback, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who are you, and what business do you have with me?"
Wu Baoan clasped his hands in a fist and said, “I am Wu Baoan, the village head of Nanshan Village. As far as I know, this young girl doesn’t know how to treat illnesses. There might be some misunderstanding behind her taking down the notice. Please allow me to ask her before you continue on your way.”
Shi Taishou waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything more. Since this young lady dares to take down the notice, I have to take her back to the Fan residence. There's no need for Wu Lizheng to worry about it."
“Steward Shi, you are mistaken. Everyone in Qingshui Town knows that the daughter of the wealthy Fan is of noble birth. If you take her there, what if she really can’t treat illnesses? Wouldn’t that be a sin to implicate Steward Shi? In my opinion, it’s better to be on the safe side.” Wu Baoan said with an expression that seemed to say, “I’m thinking of you.”
Shi Taishou stroked his chin. "Alright, ask your questions quickly, don't delay our journey."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Baoan thanked him repeatedly, then turned to Chen Qingqing, "Qing'er, I know your family is struggling, but you can't fool people for a reward!"
Chen Qingqing's eyes shone with confidence. "Uncle Village Head, I'm not doing this for a moment's pleasure. I can cure Master Fan's illness."
Fan the Rich is a local tyrant in Qingshui Town. No one within a hundred miles dares to offend him. If this girl doesn't know anything, wouldn't she bring trouble to the villagers of Nanshan Village?
Wu Baoan continued to persuade her, "Qing girl, if your family has no food, think of another way. Treating someone's illness is no joke..."
Chen Qingqing interrupted him with a smile and assured him, "Uncle Village Head, thank you for your kindness. Since I dared to take down the notice, I am confident that I can cure Master Fan's illness. Don't worry, I will take full responsibility for my actions and will absolutely not implicate anyone in Nanshan Village."
Seeing her resolute expression, Wu Baoan's furrowed brows relaxed. "Alright, go ahead then. Remember, if anything happens, be sure to let me know immediately. Don't try to handle it all on your own."
"Okay, Uncle Village Head, I won't say thank you." Chen Qingqing finished speaking and smiled at Shi Taishou, "Steward Shi, let's go!"
"Miss Chen, please get in the car."
Chen Qingqing boarded the carriage and headed straight for Qingshui Town...
Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Mr. and Mrs. Chen felt uneasy. They didn't want their daughter to take such a risk, but now the die was cast and they had no choice but to accept it.
The two murmured, "Qing girl, be careful!"
"My daughter, I'm waiting for you to come back."
......
The carriage slowly began to move. Chen Qingqing sat in the carriage, looking at the ring on her hand, secretly pleased.
What a pleasant surprise! I thought this thing was useless, but it turns out it's a real treasure.
She accidentally activated the system; it seems that practicing medicine and healing the sick is her true calling...
We sped along and arrived at Qingshui Town in no time.
The carriage stopped in front of a large, secluded mansion.
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but sigh that taking a car was indeed faster than walking. She remembered that the last time she came to town, her legs were almost worn out from walking.
I jumped out of the car and looked up. The gate was grand and imposing, with stone lions on both sides.
She thought to herself, "As expected of a wealthy tycoon, his residence is extraordinary. It seems I'm in for a good cut."
Shi Taishou straightened his clothes and came closer. "Miss Chen, please come in."
Chen Qingqing stopped thinking about it and went straight inside.
Shi Taishou then instructed the servant beside him, "Go quickly to the back courtyard and invite the madam out. Tell her that I have invited a doctor to treat the master."
"Alright, I'll go inform them right away." The servant didn't dare to delay and quickly ran forward.
Upon entering the hall, Shi Taishou instructed his servants to serve tea and water. After a few pleasantries,
Chen Qingqing asked, "Butler Shi, what are your master's specific symptoms? How does he itch? Please describe them briefly so I can get a basic understanding."
Shi Taishou shook his head and smiled, "I find it unbelievable. Just over a month ago, my husband was in excellent health and had a great appetite."
But recently, I don't know what happened, I must have bumped into some evil spirit, because suddenly my stomach started to itch.
At first, my husband could tolerate it, but later the itching became unbearable, and he scratched his belly until it bled and he had diarrhea.
He screams and yells during the day, can't sleep at night, his spirits are low, and he's getting thinner and thinner, looking emaciated.
Chen Qingqing found it quite ridiculous and suppressed her laughter. "What did the other doctors say?"
"All the doctors diagnosed it the same way, saying that I had some kind of blood wind sore, which was caused by wind. I drank a lot of medicine, but it didn't help at all. On the contrary, it got itchier every day."
"So that's how it is." Chen Qingqing understood. Blood wind sores are also known as wind itching or wind pruritus in traditional Chinese medicine.
This disease is mostly caused by blood deficiency, heat generating wind, internal accumulation of blood heat, impaired spleen and stomach function, and internal generation of damp heat. It can be cured by taking some diuretic and antipruritic drugs.
Just as she was pondering this, she heard voices outside, "Where is the doctor? The master is crying out in pain from the itch, hurry and go see him."
