Old Madam Ning was speechless.
Second Uncle Ning winked at the man who suddenly appeared with his swollen eyes.
âMiracle doctor, Miracle doctor, quickly tell these idiots that Cuihua was bitten by a dog!â
âLook, has this dogâs teeth been pulled out!â He could not suffer this beating for nothing. He had to get the silver from the eldest branch!
The âgenius doctorâ only retracted his gaze from Second Uncle Ningâs tragic face after a long while. It was hard for him to remember the lines he had discussed with Second Uncle Ning. âLiu Cuihuaâs bite mark is too deep. Coupled with the shock, her life is on the line now!â
Without waiting for Xiaoxiao and the others to speak, Second Uncle Ning immediately emphasized, âDid you hear that?! This is what the genius doctor said! Heâs the genius doctor whoâs going to be treated as an honored guest by the county magistrate and the richest manâs family. If you doubt the genius doctor, youâre disrespecting the county magistrate!â
Second Uncle Ning felt that as long as the word âofficialâ was mentioned, his eldest brotherâs family would definitely be terrified. He did not expect that even the ignorant wild girl was very calm. She asked calmly, âDoes the county magistrate know that youâve given him such a big officialâs prestige for him?â âYou!â Second Uncle Ning choked. Then, he heard another voice ask, âYouâre the genius doctor?â
The young master in white glanced coldly at the genius doctor who was stunned by the shocking change in the room. There was a hint of mockery in his tone. âWhatâs the use of ephedrine, Chinese herbaceous peony, asarum, dried ginger, honey-fried licorice root, cinnamon twig, schisandra chinensis, and pineilia ternata medicine?â
The genius doctorâs unfathomable expression was a little stuck. Who was this person? What nonsense was he asking? How would he know what these things were used for?
Seeing that he could not answer, the white-robed young masterâs thin lips parted slightly. âThis is Minor Decoction of Green Dragon for typhoid.â
The genius doctorâs face was tense. The white-robed young master asked again, âWhatâs the use of coix seed, notopterygium root, divaricate saposhnikovia root, monkshood, angelica root, black atractylodes rhizome, dried ginger, cinnamon twig, ephedrine, angelica sinensis, licorice, and Szechuan lovage rhizome?â
The genius doctorâs face trembled and he could not hold it in anymore. The young master in white snorted. âItâs still for typhoid.â
He glanced at the smelly chicken coop in the courtyard and continued to ask, âWhatâs the use of chicken poop?â
The genius doctor felt that he had grasped the pattern. He immediately said in a loud voice, âTyphoid!â
The disdain on the young masterâs face deepened. Before he could speak, he heard Xiaoxiao laugh. âThis is the first time Iâve heard that chicken feces can treat typhoid fever. No wonder Second Aunt was treated so badly by you.â
The âgenius doctorâ couldnât help but open his mouth to vomit. âC-chicken feces?â
The white-robed young master said coldly, âYou donât know the simplest prescription and you donât know the medicine. Genius doctor? Thatâs it?â
Although the âgenius doctorâ did not know anything about medicine, he knew how to pretend. âWho do you think you are? In my realm, how can I have the time to study typhoid or even those dirty things!â
Thinking of the chicken coop in the courtyard, the âgenius doctorâ looked rather disgusted.
The young master in white did not say anything else. On Xiaoxiaoâs side, Second Brother could not help but ask, âThen what do you study?â
The âgenius doctorâ looked arrogant. âOf course itâs the Art of Immortality and Revival.â
These words violated the taboo of the young master in white. He flicked his sleeve and caused the âgenius doctorâ to take a few steps back and fall to the ground. The latter was about to flare up when he heard the instigator shout, âNonsense!â
The âgenius doctorâ was stunned. âYou dare to hit me?â
He was whipped to Second Uncle Ningâs side. Although he looked much better than Second Uncle Ning, who had a swollen face, he was really frightened by this posture. This was different from what they had agreed on!
Didnât he say that his brotherâs family would definitely be controlled firmly? He just had to cooperate and say a few words to make the illness sound more serious. The prescription would be more expensive, and he would be given 10% after the matter was completed?
Did they look like they were being controlled?
Second Uncle Ning trembled and pretended. He pointed at Xiaoxiao and the others with trembling hands. âYouâre finished. Let me tell you, youâre all finished! The genius doctor is the county magistrateâs esteemed guest! If you offend him, heâll arrest you and give you 50 strokes each!â
If he said that, County Magistrate Shen couldnât keep silent any longer. After listening for a while, he walked in. He was as elegant as the few young men present. More importantly, he had a handsome face and a beautiful beard. Second Uncle Ning instantly recalled the court not long ago.
County Magistrate Shen said calmly, âI donât like to hit people.â
Second Uncle Ning was dumbfounded. Why was the county magistrate here?
Old Madam Ning still did not know how powerful he was. She opened her mouth and shouted, âWho areâ¦â you?
Second Uncle Ning quickly covered his motherâs mouth and pressed her to her knees. âGreetings, county magistrate!â
This time, it wasnât just the people from the old residence who were dumbfounded. Even Ning Fengnian and his wife were extremely shocked. âCounty magistrate?â
County Magistrate Shen rubbed his nose. âActually, I prefer the title of âmagistrateâ.â The county magistrate made him sound very old.
Old Sir Ning, who was originally hugging his pipe and watching from the sidelines, hurriedly threw away his cigarette and knelt down. The âgenius doctorâ was too anxious and pounced on the ground and ate a mouthful of mud. Second Uncle Ning shouted, âThird Brother, Little Sister, come out and greet the county magistrate!â However, there was no movement from the two doors.m
Ning Fengnian reacted and hurriedly wanted to pull Madam Song to kneel too. Xiaoxiao and her brothers pursed their lips and planned to bend their knees in accordance with the atmosphere. County Magistrate Shen hurriedly pulled them back. âWeâre not in court. You donât have to kneel. Just treat me as Tianciâs father.â
Madam Songâs legs went weak. She looked at Mrs. Shen, who was supporting her and not letting her kneel, and then at the smug Shen Tianci. She felt that it was unreal.
The âguestâ his daughter brought home was actually from the county magistrate? This young master who often came to his house was actually from the county magistrateâs son? The person who had chatted with her for a long time about planting vegetables was actually the county magistrateâs wife?
Aiyo, no. Her head was dizzy.
Ning Fengnian was not much better. If not for his two sons supporting him, he felt that he might have fallen in embarrassment. He looked at his calm sons and asked softly, âDo you know?â
The two of them did not want to lie to their parents, so they remained silent.
Ning Fengnian thought of something and looked at his daughter, who was talking to Shen Tianci, no, Young Master Tianci. He asked again, âYour sister knows too?â
The two brothers continued to remain silent.
Ning Fengnian looked at his fist, which was still stained with blood from his second brotherâs nose, and silently wiped it on his clothes.
Was it not good to hit someone in front of the county magistrate?
However, if it happened again, he would still beat him up.
Ning Ansheng walked in front of his sister. âAre you hurt?â
Xiaoxiao smiled. âI donât think I have that chance?â It felt good to be protected, and it felt good to have the entire family united.
Ning Anhui also wanted to join in the beating of Second Uncle just now, but his father and eldest brother were too fast for him to interfere.
Hearing his fatherâs question, he thought that at least his sister knew his identity when Shen Tianci first appeared. He was actually a little nervous, but his sister was too calm. He was accidentally affected and really treated Shen Tianci as an ordinary guest. Later on, he kept fooling around with him. Thinking back, he felt that he was really bold.
Aiyo, from the looks of it, he had even kicked the butt of the county magistrateâs young master. It did not seem to be a big deal to be a shopkeeper..
