C8 My Name Is Childe Cai
"Did I say you were? What are you nervous about?" Lin Xiao sneered.
Duan Nantian's expression changed as he stared at Faang Zong's face.
In the past two years, Faang Zong had been by his son's side the most. After he became a fool, Faang Zong would take care of him. Faang Zong was the only one who grabbed the herbs and brewed the medicine. Who had the best chance of tampering with the medicine?
"There's no rush. We'll find out soon enough." After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he walked to the bed.
He instructed Tang Hetong to press down on two of the young master's main acupuncture points. Seven Flying Needles slid down from his sleeve and into his hands, one after another, they pierced into the seven acupuncture points on his face and chest.
There were a total of seven needles, and the needles were precise!
This was also the first time Tang Hetong had seen Lin Xiao use all nine needles. He couldn't help but be shocked. Even Faang Zong was shocked. He had also studied medicine since he was young, so he knew that Lin Xiao's acupuncture had reached a high level. It was not something he could compare to.
At this moment, the child on the bed slowly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Duan Nantian walked forward and immediately noticed that there were grains the size of millet in the mouthful of black blood. They were densely packed and extremely disgusting.
"What... What is this?" Duan Nantian was shocked and furious.
"The seeds of the bell grass. Eating the bell grass by mistake will cause people to go insane, and consuming it for a long time will make people stupid. The Chu Country does not produce bell grass, and this thing only lives in a few places in Kang Country," Lin Xiao said.
Kang Country!
Duan Nantian stared at Faang Zong. This Faang Zong was born in Kang Country.
Faang Zong panicked for a moment. "Even if I am a citizen of Kang Country, it doesn't mean that I poisoned the young master with the bell grass poison... Lin Xiao, you... Don't try to frame me!"
"The bell grass itself is not poisonous and is not easy to digest. When it is just ripe, there will be a layer of liquid outside the seed, and this layer of liquid is poisonous. Looking at the amount that the little young master spat out, he must have eaten it for a long time, and he even ate it before Duke Tang came." Lin Xiao made another move and pierced three more needles into the young master's body.
When the last needle was taken out, the young master opened his eyes again. After being stunned for a moment, he cried out.
Tang Hetong and Doctor Lee, the servants of the Duan family, exclaimed in surprise when they heard the cry. Duan Nantian even threw himself onto the bed as two streams of hot tears rolled down his cheeks.
It had been a long time since Duan Mansion had heard this cry since his son was so stupid.
This was a cry, and also the hope of the Duan Mansion!
"My son, my son is fine, my son is fine!" Duan Nantian's voice was choked with sobs, and the others couldn't help but feel sad.
"Father..." The child weakly shouted.
Duan Nantian agreed repeatedly. Then, he suddenly stood up and shouted with a cold expression, "Faang Zong, what else do you have to say?"
"I didn't! It wasn't me! It really wasn't me!" Faang Zong was completely flustered. Just as he was about to run for his life, Lin Xiao took the initiative to attack him. The servant even found two bags of black seeds on his body.
"The Duan family is mine!"
Faang Zong, who was imprisoned by the servants, suddenly had a crazy expression on his face. He stared at Duan Nantian with scarlet eyes and roared, "I treat you like a father and have served you for many years. Even my wife said that if it wasn't for the young master, the Duan family would have definitely been handed over to me in the future! It was this little bastard who destroyed my hopes with his arrival. He deserves to die! I was already very polite to let him die slowly!"
"Come, beat this unfaithful, unfilial, ungrateful bastard to death!"
Duan Nantian ordered coldly. With a wave of his hand, Faang Zong was immediately dragged out. Not long after, the sounds of clubs and Faang Zong's howls came from the courtyard.
After settling the family matters, Duan Nantian knelt down with tears in his eyes. "Divine Doctor Lin, I suspected that my eyes were covered in dust and that I didn't recognize precious jade. I apologize to Divine Doctor Lin."
"From this day on, the doctor is my savior. I will repay your kindness!"
The others were all shocked.
What kind of person was Duan Nantian?
Even the Prefecture of B City had to respect him. Such a figure actually knelt down in front of Lin Xiao!
"It's nothing, no need to be polite." Lin Xiao kept the Flying Needle and said in a calm tone, "I like peace and quiet. Master Duan, please order everyone in the residence not to publicize today's matter."
Duan Nantian immediately agreed.
"Pass on my order. The fact that Divine Doctor Lin is treating the young master today must not be spread. If you disobey, you will be treated like this table!" Duan Nantian waved the long sword beside his bed. He raised the sword in his hand and cut off the leg of the table.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Lin Xiao then got someone to bring a pen and paper and wrote down a prescription.
"The young master's body is weak and he has hidden injuries. If he wants to completely remove the poison in his body, he will need medicine. Five doses of this medicine can help him recover his Yuan Qi." Lin Xiao said.
"Thank you, benefactor!" Duan Nantian was overjoyed.
"It's just that my prescription is different from others'. Whether it's the herbs or the time of boiling, there are differences. If it's a little bit worse, the effects of the medicine will be greatly reduced. As for refining medicine, I'll have to trouble Duke Tang to do it." Lin Xiao handed the prescription over to Tang Hetong.
Tang Hetong took the prescription and was extremely grateful.
How was this trouble for Lin Xiao? It was simply giving him a huge benefit!
The Tang family's medicinal herbs business in B City was unparalleled, but many of their descendants weren't in the medicine business. Lin Xiao giving him the chance to get close to Duan Nantian was equivalent to giving the descendants of the Tang family a clear path.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Divine Doctor Tang. I'll immediately send someone to deliver the money to the Crane Hall." Duan Nantian said politely.
Tang Hetong immediately replied respectfully, "Doctors are kind. It's only right."
After leaving the Duan mansion, Lin Xiao returned to the medical center with Tang Hetong.
On the way, Lin Xiao explained the steps of alchemy to Tang Hetong one by one. The more Divine Doctor Tang listened, the more incredulous he felt, and the more he listened, the more he felt as if he had obtained a treasure.
Lin Xiao's prescription did not refine medicine, but pills!
"Two years ago, my wife was seriously ill. Due to various reasons, I was unable to reveal my medical skills. It was all thanks to you that I allowed you to keep this prescription for your own use. Consider it as repaying you for saving my wife. However, there is one rule. This prescription can only be known by you. It cannot be passed on. "
"Back then, I did not even need to lift a finger. To be able to receive such a gift from you, I am already ashamed." Tang Hetong said in shame. A drop of water's kindness, a spring's repayment was nothing more than this.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiao went to the Crane Hall to give guidance on alchemy. It was almost noon when he returned to the Jiang residence.
As soon as he entered, he heard a man's voice coming from the hall.
"Auntie, you're too polite. The day before yesterday when Miss Chiang and I returned from C City together, we should have paid you a visit. I just came today, and I hope you won't blame me."
"Aiya, Young Master Cai is too polite. This... This is the legendary East Pearl, right? This, this is too expensive!"
"It's also the fortune of this East Pearl that Auntie likes it so much."
"Young Master Cai is indeed worthy of being a member of a great family. Even his words make me feel so comfortable! Unlike Lin Xiao, who had been married to our Jiao for three years and never bought anything decent for the Chiang family. "
Hearing that, Lin Xiao frowned, and walked towards the hall with a gloomy expression.
In the hall.
Mrs Liu was jabbering on and on about Lin Xiao. Beside her sat a white-faced noble young master, the Young Master of the Emperor's Cai family - Cai Shaozhi.
Seeing Lin Xiao enter, the two of them had different expressions.
Cai Shaozhi looked at Lin Xiao meaningfully and laughed: "I presume this is Miss Chiang's husband?"
While they were talking, Cai Shaozhi had already walked to the door. He looked at Lin Xiao with a spirited gaze and said with a smile, "I've heard so much about you. I believe you've heard of me before, my name is Cai Shaozhi."
Yes.
Indeed, he was threatening.
Lin Xiao also wore a smile on his face as he stared at Cai Shaozhi and said, "I can see that."
Mrs Liu could not help but feel disgusted. She was already very dissatisfied with Lin Xiao, and under Cai Shaozhi's dazzling light, he seemed even more annoying.
"What are you still standing there for? Don't you see that there are guests at home?!"
"Go to the street and order a table of dishes and wine. I want to entertain Young Master Cai." Mrs Liu said: "Also, Jiao hasn't come back yet. Go and smoke her veil and incense. Young Master Cai invited Jiao to participate in tonight's Lan Ting Meeting."
