The old man picked up a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and gave Duke Rong a sinister smile. "Originally, we could have a good talk, but now it's not possible. Let's just talk about the consultation fee directly!"

Duke Rong thought for a moment and said, "Two thousand taels of silver, how about that? Divine Doctor, I am still sincere enough, right?"

The old man didn't even want to look at him. Looking at his stinginess, it was hard to tell how good he was to his son.

Seeing that the old man ignored him, Duke Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Ten thousand taels, genius doctor, my consultation fee is quite considerable!"

The old man glanced at him and sighed deeply. This Duke Rong was really too stingy. It was like having diarrhea, pooping a little bit now and then. It was too tiring.

The old man stood up and turned to leave. Duke Rong quickly stopped him and said, "How about this? One hundred thousand taels of silver is already a sky-high price. Divine Doctor, can you detoxify us first?"

The old man stood in the corner, his arms folded across his chest, and looked at Duke Rong speechlessly, "Duke, the lives of the three of you and the incense of your Duke Rong's Mansion are at stake. Is that really worth just this little money?"

"Don't test my bottom line little by little. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it for a long time."

Duke Rong's face turned grim, thinking that if he died, there would be nothing left. This old immortal's medical skills were so advanced that even the head of the hospital might not be able to cure his poison. He would only bleed to death.

"Five hundred thousand taels," Duke Rong said, gritting his teeth as he looked at the old man. "Divine Doctor, I really have limited resources. This is all I can offer."

Chu Ci snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, you are joking. A year as a prefect, a hundred thousand silver coins, Your Majesty really doesn't understand yourself at all."

Minister Qiao looked at the old man in surprise. He didn't expect that this little girl knew so much.

The Duke standing aside also turned pale. Just as he was about to say something in defense, the old man waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything more. Those matters are not my business. One million taels, less one tael of silver, you can keep it to prepare a coffin for your family."

The old man refilled the teacup in his hand and raised the teacup in his hand. "It will take a cup of tea. If you don't put the money in front of me, I will turn around and leave immediately."

After the old man finished speaking, he raised his teacup and began to drink.

Seeing the old man was serious, the Duke stood up in a panic and started shouting towards the door, "Someone, hurry up and get the money from the accounting office. I need one million taels."

Give it to him first. The money will eventually return to him anyway. The most important thing now is to save your life.

When the servants in the Duke's Mansion outside heard their master's words, they ran out in a hurry.

The old man looked at the Duke's eyes staring outside and snorted coldly. Seeing his fear of death, the old man was very disdainful.

Soon, the steward of the Duke's Mansion personally brought one million taels of silver to the Duke's presence and respectfully handed the banknote to him, "Master, this is one million taels."

The Duke took it with a distressed look, looked at the silver note worth over one million taels in his hand, and pointed at the old man, "Go, give it to him."

The old man took the money, checked it, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. He put it away with satisfaction, ignored the Duke, took out three pills from his pocket, and threw them directly to the Duke, "Wait a moment, I'll check the pulse of this pervert, then you can take them."

After Chu Ci finished speaking, he took out a silver needle from his medicine box and began to prick Rong Ziyu's body, wherever it hurt.

Rong Ziyu screamed in pain, his lips turned purple, beads of sweat dripped down his face like crazy, and he kept shivering.

Seeing that Rong Ziyu really couldn't hold on any longer, the old man began to treat the patient seriously, not caring whether it hurt or not, just giving him acupuncture.

Duke Rong, who was watching from the side, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot. He knew that there must be something wrong, but he didn't dare to say it. After all, the incense of his Duke's Mansion still depended on the old man in front of him.

The wife of the Duke looked at her son and shed tears of heartache. What was going on? It was all because of that little bitch Chu Ci. If it weren't for her, her son wouldn't have become like this, and wouldn't have suffered so much.

The cost of medical treatment alone has now reached one million taels, which is real silver. It will take a long time for the master to earn it back.

Almost half an hour passed before Rong Ziyu's treatment was over. The old man packed up his silver needles and looked at the Duke and his wife. "I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Take it for a few days. I'll come find you when the time is up. Remember, if you feel anything during this period, don't have sex. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

The old man looked again at Rong Ziyu lying on the ground, who was curled up in a ball, not daring to say a word.

Before leaving, the old man glanced at Minister Qiao, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and threw it directly to Minister Qiao, "For the last time, don't look for me if you have any problems in the future."

Minister Qiao slumped down in his chair. "Oh no! We might have really offended the miracle doctor this time!"

Qiao Yu and Qiao Sheng looked at each other, lowered their heads and said nothing.

After a while, Minister Qiao looked at the three people from the Duke's family with red eyes and said, "Now that everyone's illness has been treated, please leave the Shangshu Mansion."

Seeing Minister Qiao's bad attitude, the Duke's wife was about to scold him, but was stopped by the Duke beside her. They didn't do a good job in this matter, but so what, "Let's go, take the young master with us."

As soon as the Duke's family of three left, Minister Qiao's family burst into laughter. Minister Qiao looked at Qiao Sheng and nodded with satisfaction, "Xiaoci, this little girl, I have to say, this trick is really mean, but I also have to say, this trick is really satisfying."

Qiao Yu walked up to Minister Qiao and said, "Father, Sister Chu is so bold to ask for one million taels, not a tael less. If it were me, I would have agreed to it many times."

Several people looked at each other and laughed. "I wonder which family will get this little girl in the end? She will be safe for at least three generations."

After hearing what his father said, Qiao Yu's eyes lit up instantly, "Father, what do you think about Sister Chu marrying into our family?"

Minister Qiao looked at his son and smiled faintly, "I'm afraid our family doesn't have that kind of blessing."

Qiao Sheng lowered his head and said nothing. He could feel that Chu Ci didn't have any special feelings for him.

Duke Rong carried his sons onto the carriage, took out the medicine Chu Ci had given them, and quickly divided it up and ate it, fearing that the poison would take effect if taken too long.

Not long after the three of them ate, they felt their whole bodies were unusually unobstructed. Then they heard a gurgling sound in their stomachs, followed by a series of deafening noises. The three of them changed their expressions at the same time.

Duke Rong lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted to the driver outside, "Hurry up and get back as soon as possible."

Not long after, screams and endless curses were heard from the carriage.
