I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Wang Yun stood outside the Liu family's gate, his face gloomy. He never imagined that the good-for-nothing who was kicked out by the Wang family could actually cure Mr. Liu's illness.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wang Yun gritted his teeth. "That loser hasn't even mastered the basics of my Wang family's medical skills. How could he possibly have such abilities?"

Just as Wang Yun was thinking about this, the Liu family's door opened and Qin Yu and Liu Ying walked out side by side. The two of them were talking and laughing, and Liu Ying's smile was particularly bright. The joy that welled up from the bottom of her heart instantly made Wang Yun's heart swallowed with jealousy.

Qin Yu was so focused on listening to Liu Ying's words that he didn't notice Wang Yun standing nearby. After the two of them got in the car and left, Wang Yun took a deep breath, composed himself, and walked towards the Liu family.

"Young Master Wang?" The Liu family's housekeeper was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"

"I heard that Mr. Liu was not feeling well, so I came to visit him." Wang Yun had a concerned smile on his face. "My Wang family has been practicing medicine for generations, maybe I can help."

In the living room, Liu Hong was handling company affairs. Seeing Wang Yun come in, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"It is a great honor for my humble home that Young Master Wang has come to visit me in person." Liu Hong said politely.

"Uncle Liu, you're so polite." Wang Yun looked around. "I heard that the old man has been unwell recently?"

A complicated expression flashed across Liu Hong's face. "Thank you, Master Wang, for your concern. My father's condition has improved a lot."

"Oh?" Wang Yun pretended to be surprised. "Which famous doctor are you looking for? My Wang family has some connections in the medical field, maybe he knows someone."

"This..." Liu Hong hesitated, "This is a friend Ying Er invited."

"Friend?" Wang Yun's eyes flashed. "Could it be that Qin Yu?"

Liu Hong was stunned: "Master Wang knows him?"

Wang Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "More than knowing him, he used to be the son-in-law of our Wang family. However, he has a moral problem. He secretly studied our Wang family's medical books and was kicked out after being discovered."

"What?" Liu Hong's face changed drastically.

"Oh, this is a long story." Wang Yun sighed, "My sister was young and naive, and she insisted on marrying him. Our Wang family didn't pay much attention to him because he came from a poor family. I didn't expect that he would actually take advantage of us not noticing and secretly read the medical books passed down from our ancestors."

Liu Hong's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly: "This... How is this possible?"

"Uncle Liu, I know this sounds unbelievable," Wang Yun feigned grief. "But it's the truth. Don't worry too much, though. He may have learned a few superficial techniques, but the Wang family's medical skills are vast and profound. How could his little wits help him master them?"

"But my father's condition has indeed improved..."

"That's just a coincidence." Wang Yun waved his hand. "The old man is in good health to begin with. He'll get better naturally with a little conditioning. But he can't cure the real root of his illness."

Liu Hong remained silent, his heart surging with emotion. If what Wang Yun said was true, then wasn't Qin Yu a liar with corrupted morals? Yet, his daughter trusted him so much...

"Uncle Liu, I know this is hard to accept." Wang Yun saw that the situation was getting tense and continued to fan the flames. "But for the sake of Grandpa's health, I think it would be better to let our Wang family's legitimate heir take a look. After all, medical skills learned secretly are not up to par."

Liu Hong's face turned extremely grim. He thought of his daughter's trust in Qin Yu and his own good impression of this young man. If all this was just an illusion...

"I appreciate Master Wang's kindness." Liu Hong forced a smile. "When Ying'er comes back, I will ask about this matter."

Wang Yun was secretly delighted, but pretended to be concerned on the surface: "Then I won't bother you. But Uncle Liu, some things are better to believe than not. Especially when it comes to the old man's health, we must not take it lightly."

After seeing Wang Yun off, Liu Hong sat alone in the living room with a gloomy expression.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" The housekeeper asked cautiously when he saw that he looked unwell.

"Go and invite the old man down." Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

After a while, Mr. Liu came to the living room with the help of a nurse. The treatment in the past few days made him feel much better and his face looked much rosier.

"Hong'er, what's wrong?" Mr. Liu asked with concern.

Liu Hong looked at his father's obviously improved complexion, and his heart became more conflicted: "Dad, what do you think of Qin Yu?"

"Xiao Qin?" A glint of admiration flashed in Old Man Liu's eyes. "This kid is quite good. He's a skilled doctor and a humble person. Most importantly, he saved my life."

"But..." Liu Hong hesitated to speak.

"But what?"

Liu Hong hesitated for a long time, but still repeated Wang Yun's words.

After hearing this, Mr. Liu's face gradually darkened: "Are you saying that he is a thief with corrupt morals?"

"That's what Wang Yun said." Liu Hong nodded. "He also said that Qin Yu only learned the basics and can't cure the root of your illness."

Mr. Liu was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Hong'er, how do you feel about my current health?"

“It’s definitely better than before.”

"That's enough." A shrewd glint flashed in Old Man Liu's eyes. "No matter where he learned his medical skills, as long as they can cure my illness, they are good medical skills. As for the rest, let's talk about it after Ying'er comes back."

Even so, a trace of doubt crept into Old Man Liu's heart. After all, the Wang family's reputation in the medical community was there, and Wang Yun had no reason to tell such a lie that would be easily exposed.

Charity dinners held by the wealthy have always been a stage for the upper class to showcase their status. Ornate crystal chandeliers cast a soft glow, and amidst the clinking of glasses, elites from all walks of life engage in a seemingly elegant yet turbulent competition.

Liu Ying walked into the venue arm in arm with Qin Yu, immediately attracting a lot of attention. She was wearing a champagne-colored dress that evening, elegant yet intellectual, making her stand out among the many bejeweled ladies.

"Ying'er is here." A sharp female voice sounded.

Liu Ying turned and saw Lin Ya, a well-known socialite in the wealthy community. She came from a humble background, but had managed to marry into a wealthy family through sheer manipulation. Now the wife of the chairman of Hengtai Group, she held considerable influence within the community.

"Mrs. Lin." Liu Ying nodded politely.

Lin Ya's gaze swept over Qin Yu, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes: "This is Ying Er's new boyfriend, right? He looks quite young."

As soon as he finished speaking, several noble ladies gathered around, all with playful eyes.

"I heard that you are here to treat Mr. Liu?" a middle-aged lady asked casually.

"Yes." Liu Ying responded simply.

"Oh, you're a doctor after all." Another lady chuckled, covering her mouth with her hands. "But judging by her age, she must have just graduated not long ago, right?"
