Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

After sending the Zhang family's servants away, Hu Er excitedly asked, "Sister Qingli, do you really have a solution?"

Xie Qingli nodded gently: "At present, I am only 20% sure, I need to take your pulse."

"Twenty percent is already a lot! After all, other doctors have said there's no hope." Hu Er excitedly rubbed his hands together, ready to do something big. "What do I need to prepare?"

"I need some pills. I'll prepare them tonight." Xie Qingli bowed to Hu Er and said, "I'll also need a set of silver needles and other common medical supplies. Please, Brother Hu."

"That's all?" Hu Er was a little disappointed: "I'll prepare these."

"Brother Hu, do you trust my medical skills so much? If I can't cure you, I will offend the Zhang family and bring trouble to you..."

Hu Er was stunned. "Why are you skeptical? You can save Zhi'er and Zhuangzhuang. All the doctors I know are not even a fraction as skilled as you. Besides, Master Zhang is seriously ill. We should try our best. Even if he can't be cured, it's normal. The Zhang family won't be unreasonable."

"Aren't you curious about where I learned my medical skills?"

Hu Er shook his head: "If you could tell me, you would have told me earlier. Otherwise, if I ask you now, can you tell me?"

Xie Qingli chuckled: "I happened to meet a master, and he taught me this."

When Hu Er heard this, he looked at her as if she was trying to fool someone by making up stories.

Xie Qingli stopped explaining and continued, "But I'm still young, and I'm afraid no one will believe that I can cure Master Zhang. Tomorrow I'll need to borrow Brother Hu's reputation as a miracle doctor."

Hu Er scratched his head in embarrassment: "The reputation of that miracle doctor is very false, you can use it casually."

So, Xie Qingli explained how to proceed.

……

At dawn the next day, Zhang's carriage was waiting at the door of Hu Er's house.

Xie Qingli got on the carriage with a pair of dark eyes, and soon she dozed off leaning against the wall. She didn't wake up until the carriage arrived at the county. She stretched comfortably, and the fatigue from staying up late to make medicine last night was swept away.

She opened the curtains and looked out, and happened to pass by a jewelry shop. She immediately stopped the carriage, jumped out and ran into the shop.

The servants in the Zhang residence were irritated. The master and mistress must be waiting impatiently. This young doctor was really playful. Why was he browsing shops at this time? Hadn't this country boy ever been to the city? But they only dared to criticize him in their hearts, and remained extremely restrained on the surface.

Fortunately, after a moment, Xie Qingli came out briskly, returning to the carriage with two exquisite brocade boxes in his arms.

Xie Qingli took out two oil-paper packets and opened them to reveal two inky black pills. She threw away the packets and placed the pills neatly in the brocade box, feeling quite satisfied. "Not bad, not bad. Now they look like priceless magical medicines."

Hu Er was stunned and looked stupid. Xie Qingli shook his head and laughed. How could this man be a miracle doctor?

The carriage arrived at Zhang's house, and the housekeeper led the two to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang had been waiting for a long time, looking anxious.

Looking at the two people behind the butler, both were wearing coarse cloth clothes. The older one was about twenty years old, with a handsome face, like a gentle farmer's son; the younger one was in his early ten years old, and looked good, but he was skinny and had a childish face. Only his big, sparkling eyes made him look a little different.

Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other, feeling somewhat disappointed. However, in line with the old saying, "Since we're already here," Mr. Zhang still led the two to Zhang Shouan's bedroom.

Zhang Shouan was breathing weakly, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to have no reaction to the outside world.

Hu Er and Xie Qingli took Zhang's pulse one after another. Hu Er thought to himself that Master Zhang was indeed beyond saving, and felt a little discouraged. However, when Xie Qingli nodded at him and made a palm gesture, Hu Er was overjoyed.

Following the agreed explanation, Hu Er bowed to Master Zhang and said, "Young Master Zhang's pulse and breath are weak, the poison fire is condensing, and the poison is attacking the lungs and stomach. There is only a fifty-fifty chance of success."

Master Zhang heard the previous words, which were identical to those of Doctor Xue, and without hearing the rest, he said with a dejected look, "Please go back, both of you! The housekeeper will escort you out of the house."

Everyone was shocked. What did Mr. Zhang mean?

Mrs. Zhang excitedly grabbed Mr. Zhang's arm and said, "Master, I'm 50% sure, 50% sure. Don't send him away."

Mr. Zhang was shocked and stammered, "Really? Can you really save him?"

Hu Er nodded vigorously: "I am 50% sure. However, we have one condition..."

Master Zhang grabbed Hu Er's hand and said, "Don't mention just one condition, mention a hundred. Mention whatever you want." He was so happy that he wanted to jump for joy, but the servants were all watching him, so he had to hold back!

Hu Er waited until Mr. Zhang calmed down before continuing, "We'll be giving Young Master Zhang acupuncture in a moment to remove the accumulated toxins from his body. Everyone needs to be cleared out during the procedure, including you and your wife."

Mrs. Zhang hesitated a little, but Mr. Zhang waved his hand and said, "This is easy." He turned around and ordered, "Everyone leave." The maids and servants in the room filed out.

Hu Er took out a brocade box and handed it to Master Zhang. "This is a magical medicine I accidentally found. There are two pills in total. Dissolve this one in water and drink it first. A quarter of an hour later, you can start acupuncture."

Mr. Zhang respectfully took the medicine and together with Mrs. Zhang helped Zhang Shouan take it.

Hu Er continued, "Please prepare a clean spittoon. You two can go and rest. You can come back in about an hour."

Everything was ready. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang respectfully withdrew and ordered the door to be closed. They had no intention of resting, and stood guard at the door, one on each side, like two door gods.

Xie Qingli heated the silver needles over the fire, ordered Hu Er to lift Zhang Shouan's clothes, and began to apply acupuncture. Her eyes were focused and her movements were skillful. Soon, Zhang Shouan's body was densely covered with silver needles. Xie Qingli's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat. The acupuncture seemed easy, but it was actually very demanding.

Hu Er secretly admired Sister Qingli's exquisite acupuncture techniques and her skillful techniques, which made him astonished. Sister Qingli's medical skills were indeed unfathomable. Such medical skills would probably take twenty years to master!

After Xie Qingli finished the acupuncture, he asked Hu Er to prick Zhang Shouan's index finger, and black blood dripped into the spittoon.

Hu Er stared blankly at the silver needles on Zhang Shouan's body, trying hard to recall the acupuncture techniques, but he could only remember about 50% to 60%.

Xie Qingli hadn't expected Hu Er to have the potential to be a medical geek. He chuckled, "Brother Hu, the acupuncture technique you just used is quite complicated and difficult to master in a short period of time. From now on, Master Zhang will need acupuncture once a month for a full recovery. That acupuncture technique is simpler. I'll teach it to you later, and you will be the one to perform acupuncture on Master Zhang from now on."

Hu Er nodded excitedly. It would be a great opportunity to learn even a little bit of such exquisite needlework.

Everything in the house was going on in an orderly manner, but an uninvited guest came outside.

Doctor Xue sent his servant to Zhang's house to inquire about the news. The servant reported back: a young man and a little girl in her teens entered Zhang's house, but have not come out yet.

After waiting for another cup of tea, no one showed up. Old Doctor Xue didn't want to wait any longer. "Hmph, considering Mr. Zhang's sincere invitation yesterday, let me, the former director of the Imperial Hospital, go and expose these two rural swindlers today and set the record straight."

Therefore, Old Doctor Xue came uninvited.

Seeing that the visitor was the distinguished guest whom the master had respectfully entertained yesterday, the servants of the Zhang family did not stop him.

Old Doctor Xue didn't wait for anyone to pass on the message and strode to Zhang Shouan's yard. Compared with the way he was yesterday, who was supported by someone and riding in a sedan chair, he was completely different.

Seeing that the two masters of the Zhang Mansion were pacing at the bedroom door with anxious expressions, Old Doctor Xue guessed that Zhang Shouan might be dying.

He gathered his emotions and spoke in a sorrowful tone, "Did your nephew's condition worsen because of those two swindlers? Oh, it's all my fault for my poor medical skills, otherwise your nephew wouldn't have suffered this before his death."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were already getting impatient waiting, and now that Old Doctor Xue was babbling like a fly and cursing Shou'an, they were furious. But because of Old Doctor Xue's status, they dared not speak out.

Mr. Zhang forced a smile and said, "Old Doctor Xue is worrying too much. Shouan is fine. The miracle doctor is treating him."

Doctor Xue saw Master Zhang's smile, which was uglier than crying, and concluded that he had guessed right. Master Zhang didn't trust Xue Henian's medical skills, but he was deceived by two peasants. He must not want to be exposed in front of him. Hahaha, he really wanted to save face but suffered in vain!

"Brother Zhang is kindhearted and cannot bear to mistreat his neighbors. However, in my humble opinion, although these people are neighbors, they are also liars. Let them bring disaster to the village. It is better to deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise more innocent people will be harmed."

Before Master Zhang could object, Doctor Xue turned to the servants in the courtyard and ordered, "Hurry up and catch those two swindlers, tie them up, and send someone fast to report to the authorities."

The servants looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Did Zhang Fu change his surname to Xue?
