C7 How Hard Would It be to Save Him

The Duan mansion was located beside the river in B City and covered an extremely vast area. There were pavilions, pavilions, winding corridors, flowing water, fragrant trees, and fragrant flowers. The decorations of each room were also extremely luxurious and extravagant.

With the servant leading the way, Lin Xiao and Doctor Lee quickly arrived at the room in the East Garden.

There were three to five people in the room, and Tang Hetong was one of them.

There was also a man who looked to be in his forties, standing in front of the bed with a frown on his face.

This person was tall and sturdy. He had thick eyebrows and tiger-like eyes. He looked extremely imposing and his eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look at him directly. Lin Xiao knew that this person was the giant merchant of B City, Duan Nantian.

"Divine Doctor Lin, you're finally here." Seeing Lin Xiao, the anxious Tang Hetong immediately came up to greet him.

From the moment Lin Xiao entered the room, Duan Nantian had been observing him. Seeing that the so-called doctor was so young and dressed so simply, he couldn't help but frown. "Duke Tang, is he the doctor you were talking about?"

"That's right, the last needle of the Peach Blossom Nine Needles was made by this Divine Doctor Lin." Tang Hetong replied.

"Hehe, when I heard Duke Tang's bragging just now, I thought that there really was an otherworldly expert called Lin Xiao in B City. I didn't expect it to be you, the useless son-in-law of the Chiang family!"

The young man standing beside Duan Nantian stood out and sneered arrogantly, "Duke Tang, I think your eyes are really blurry from old age. You don't even use your own medical skills, yet you believe in such trash."

This young man was dressed in a purple robe. He was the famous doctor of the Duan mansion - Faang Zong.

Duan Nantian's expression was cold. He had long since heard that the Chiang family had a useless son-in-law. He was naturally slow-witted and taciturn. How could such a person be a doctor?

Lin Xiao stared at Faang Zong, who was beside Duan Nantian, and suddenly said, "I'm in a good mood today. Don't force me to hit you at this time."

"What did you say?!" Faang Zong was furious.

"I said, beating someone like you would only dirty my hands, so please shut up," Lin Xiao said coldly.

"How dare you!" Faang Zong roared with a flushed face, "How dare you, someone who only relies on women for a living, speak so arrogantly in front of me? Men, drag this bastard out and beat him to death!"

"Drag me out. Can you save the child on the bed?" Lin Xiao stared at him.

"I..." Faang Zong immediately stopped speaking. With his abilities, he could not save anyone.

At this moment, Duan Nantian finally spoke in a deep voice, "So you can save my son?"

"How difficult is it to save him?" Lin Xiao glanced at Duan Nantian and said in a cold voice, "Your son's body is weak and he was born with an illness. He knows how to take medicine every time he opens his mouth. The famous doctors you hired didn't cure him. Not only did his condition not improve, but it became even worse."

"You... You..." Duan Nantian's expression was filled with shock.

Lin Xiao interrupted him, "You what you, this child was born by your first wife, and she was already around forty years old when she gave birth. She was already weak, and she was already old when she gave birth."

Tang Hetong was surprised.

This child was indeed the child of Madam Duan, and everyone in B City knew about it. However, even he did not know about the matter of incense preservation, so how did Lin Xiao know about it?

"You're just trying to be mysterious!" Faang Zong mocked, "Do you think you're a god? You even know what happened before this child was born?"

"Faang Zong, shut up!" Duan Nantian roared, scaring Faang Zong so much that he hurriedly explained.

"Master, this person is clearly a liar. From the moment he entered the room until now, he hasn't even taken a glance at the young master. The moment he opened his mouth, he determined that the young master was born with a disease. If he isn't a liar, then what is he?" Faang Zong looked at Lin Xiao coldly and mocked, "Lin, you want to cheat me out of my money? Why don't you take a look at what kind of place this is?"

Duan Nantian's eyes were gloomy as he stared at Faang Zong. "He's right. My wife was forty-two years old when she gave birth. In less than four months, she started to smoke medicine to keep the baby in. It was indeed dangerous when she gave birth. It took her a whole night to give birth to my son."

"What?" Faang Zong and Tang Hetong were both shocked.

Even they did not know about this matter, yet Lin Xiao was able to say it out loud.

Duan Nantian said in a deep voice, "Ever since my wife married into the Duan family, she has been working hard every day. When she was pregnant, her mind was even more exhausted. After three months of pregnancy, there are already signs of childbirth, so she can only smoke medicine to keep the fetus. In order to prevent my wife from feeling depressed when she hears the slander, I ordered everyone in the residence not to mention this matter."

Tang Hetong and Faang Zong looked at each other, both of them extremely shocked.

Only the people closest to the Duan family knew about this, yet Lin Xiao could actually make such a conclusion?

Duan Nantian looked at Lin Xiao and said with a trembling voice, "I've long heard that an expert in medicine can determine a person's life and death just by looking and smelling. You... Can you really save my son?"

"It's not difficult to save him," Lin Xiao said calmly.

"If you can save my son, I'm willing to give you the business in B City!" After saying that, Duan Nantian suddenly bowed down, shocking everyone in the room.

Duan Nantian was the undisputed wealthiest man in B City. How important was it for him to give half of the city's business to Lin Xiao?!

Lin Xiao replied: "I'm not interested in your gift. I'm willing to come to the Duan mansion for Duke Tang, but seeing that you love your son so much, I'll help you once."

"You treat money like a pair of worn-out shoes. Sir, you are truly a strange person!" Duan Nantian sighed.

"Hmph, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of Master Duan." Faang Zong sneered, "If you can't save him, let's see how you end up."

On the bed.

Under the blanket, the child was barely breathing. His eyes were sunken in and his face was ashen, causing one's heart to ache.

Lin Xiao took his pulse and suddenly asked, "Faang Zong, you've been taking care of Young Master Duan for two years, right?"

"Two years is nothing!" Faang Zong said: "I am indebted to Master for his kindness in giving me a new life. I treat Master as my father, and Young Master is like my own little brother. I take care of my own little brother."

"Twenty years?"

Lin Xiao sneered, "Will he live past four years under your care?"

"You... What do you mean by that?" Faang Zong said angrily.

Lin Xiao looked at Tang Hetong: "Duke Tang's Peach Blossom Nine Needles are accurate and accurate. The young master suddenly became foolish and his soul did not gather, so he should indeed use nine needles."

"This is also what I don't understand." Tang Hetong said in distress: "After nine needles, not only did this child not get better, he even fainted and almost lost his life."

"Someone did this on purpose, Young Master Duan."

Lin Xiao did not care about the shock his words brought to everyone, and continued, "Someone did something to this child's body, and asked someone to bring me the previous prescription and medicinal dregs."

As soon as Duan Nantian gave the order, someone quickly brought the prescription and medicinal dregs over.

Lin Xiao checked the prescription and the medicinal dregs before looking at Faang Zong.

Faang Zong's face immediately turned pale.

"Lin, you... Why are you looking at me?" Faang Zong's forehead was covered in sweat as he said, "Don't tell me... you're saying that I did something to you? Let me tell you, I've been in the Duan family for five years, and I regard Master Duan as my father. I would never do such a thing."
