Madam Liu snapped back, âI was just trying to be helpful, as we used to be family. But if you donât want my advice, fine.â
Madam Suâs tone was cold. âWe can do without your âhelpâ.â
Her mind briefly flashed back to the hostility she faced from Madam Liu and Mrs. Ye Sr. during her divorce.
Breaking the silence, Fan Hui stepped forward. âMaster, I havenât mentioned this before, but remember when I was seriously ill? A mysterious doctor saved my life.â
She glanced gratefully at Rong Qi. âMadam Qi had asked me to keep it quiet, but itâs time I spoke up. She was the one who saved me.â
The butler, visibly surprised, asked, âFan Hui, are you saying Madam Qi saved your life?â
âYes,â she confirmed, âWho else do you think it could be?â
The butler suddenly realized why Fan Hui had reprimanded him for his attitude towards Rong Qi. He rushed to kneel before Rong Qi to thank her for saving Fan Hui, but Rong Qi stopped him, pulling him up.
Tears in his eyes, the butler said, âI owe you an apology and my thanks. Please, let me express my gratitude.â
Rong Qi replied, âNo need for that. Just show your thanks in another way.â
Ye Nanshen remained silent, observing.
Old Master Ye, chuckling, asked, âIs there only money in your eyes?â
Then, turning serious, he inquired, âRong Qi, are you confident in treating Ye Rong?â
âNot entirely,â she admitted.
âHow confident are you?â
âAround 90%.â
The room buzzed with surprise.
Ye Nanshen remained quiet.
Madam Liu scoffed, â90%? Thatâs quite a claim, considering Ye Rongâs condition. Sounds more like a bluff!â
Ye Nanshen glanced at Madam Liu. âIf youâre so confident, why donât you give it a try?â
âIâm not a doctor. What am I supposed to try?â Madam Liu retorted.
âIf you donât know, then itâs best to stay quiet. No one will think youâre unable to speak,â said Ye Nanshen.
Madam Liu, red-faced with anger, felt belittled by Ye Nanshen.
Old Master Ye, ignoring the squabble, focused on Rong Qi. âYouâre 90% sure?â
Rong Qi nodded. âYes. My skills arenât perfect, so thereâs about a 10% uncertainty.â
Old Master Ye exclaimed, â90% and you call that uncertain?â
Rong Qi shrugged. âThereâs still a 10% chance of failure. In medicine, even a 10% chance is significant. In stories, a 10% chance equates to a certainty..â
