Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge
Chapter 172 The Vicious Young Lady of a Noble Family (8 pages)
When Zeng Wanqing saw that the hall had fallen silent after she said those words, she thought she had said something wrong.
"My lord, is there anything wrong with what I said?" she asked cautiously.
Qi Congming then replied, "It's nothing. It's good that you have this intention, but Jing Yu's leg ailment has already been treated by many doctors, and they all said it couldn't be cured. I'm afraid you'll waste your time."
“Is that so?” Zeng Wanqing thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “I have a distant relative in Yangzhou who is a very famous doctor there. He will be coming to the capital soon. Perhaps I could ask him to give it a try.”
The reason Qi Congming didn't go to great lengths to find a doctor to treat Qi Jingyu's leg ailment was that he didn't want people to notice the abnormality in his leg, otherwise there would be a risk of exposing his identity.
Now that Zeng Wanqing is so insistent, it would seem strange to refuse again.
Zeng Wanqing is not trustworthy enough; they cannot let her suspect anything.
Since he is a doctor from Yangzhou, not from the capital, there shouldn't be any problem.
Qi Congming and Qi Jingyu exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.
"Okay, let's do it your way." Qi Congming agreed.
Zeng Wanqing immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness, please entrust this matter to me. I will certainly arrange it properly."
Qi Ning picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea with a deep, thoughtful look in her eyes.
In the original storyline, the doctor from Yangzhou was actually a charlatan who was useless and couldn't cure Qi Jingyu's leg ailment.
His only purpose was to deceive the eldest son's family by boasting and swindling them into believing that Qi Jingyu's leg ailment could really be cured, thus leading them to kill him.
However, through that fatal accident, although Qi Jingyu was injured, Zeng Wanqing inadvertently found him a doctor who could truly cure his leg ailment, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Not long after, Zeng Wanqing had someone bring the doctor from Yangzhou into the mansion.
Qi Congming and Zeng Wanqing, a married couple, accompanied the doctor to Qi Jingyu's courtyard.
Qi Jingyu's leg ailment was publicly stated as congenital, but it was actually caused by external injury. Although many years have passed and the scars have faded to the point of being barely visible, there is still a concern that the doctor might be skilled and could discover the problem, which could cause some trouble.
Therefore, Qi Congming made a special effort to take the time to come and keep an eye on things personally.
Qi Jingyu's residence, Yinqing Pavilion, was located in a rather remote area of the Marquis's mansion, and it took the group quite a while to arrive.
When they arrived, Qi Jingyu was sitting on a small couch in the inner room reading a book. When he saw someone come in, he was about to get up.
“No need to get up, Jingyu.” Zeng Wanqing stopped him. “We brought a doctor to check your leg ailment.”
Qi Congming also said, "That's right, there's no need to get up."
"This is the Doctor Su from Yangzhou that I was talking about."
Zeng Wanqing gave a brief introduction, then had Xiuzhu help Qi Jingyu lie back on the couch, and then invited Doctor Su to come forward.
Qi Jingyu was not young after all. Even though Zeng Wanqing was his nominal mother, the two were not that far apart in age. Thinking that she would have to roll up her trousers during treatment, Zeng Wanqing still took her maid and went out to avoid the situation.
Dr. Su looked to be in his fifties, with a long beard. I wondered just how good his medical skills were, given the rumors.
Qi Congming and Qi Jingyu both stared at him warily.
Doctor Su held Qi Jingyu's leg and examined him from all angles, but found no injuries. He then pretended to be profound and said, "If I am not mistaken, your injury is not caused by external trauma, is it?"
Upon seeing this, Qi Congming and Qi Jingyu immediately realized that this Doctor Su was probably a quack.
Qi Congming quickly replied, "That's right, Doctor Su's medical skills are superb; this leg ailment is indeed congenital."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Su immediately understood the situation.
He stroked his goatee and said, "That's right. I could tell at a glance that this leg ailment is congenital."
"Doctor Yisu, do you think this leg ailment can be cured?" Qi Congming asked.
Doctor Su looked somewhat troubled: "This..."
"Dr. Su, please speak frankly."
"It can be cured, but it requires slow and gradual treatment. Moreover, one of the pills needed happens to be a family heirloom, which will cost quite a bit of money," Doctor Su said tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Qi Congming and Qi Jingyu understood that this Doctor Su was not only a half-baked quack, but a complete charlatan who was only after money.
But this is a good thing for them. As long as they "treat" for a period of time, they can say it's useless. It's just a matter of spending some money.
Qi Congming readily agreed: "Money is no problem, Dr. Su, please prescribe the medicine."
"Oh, that's good."
Doctor Su suppressed the smile on his face, packed his things, and went to the outer room to write the prescription.
When Zeng Wanqing saw the man come out, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "My lord, how is it? Can Jingyu's leg ailment be cured?"
Qi Congming, now relaxed, recounted what Doctor Su had said to Zeng Wanqing.
Zeng Wanqing was overjoyed to hear this: "That's great! We'll take our time to treat him, and he'll definitely be cured. It seems that Doctor Su is indeed a miracle doctor."
That day, the second madam invited a doctor to treat the second young master's leg ailment, and the news that the leg ailment might be curable spread throughout the Marquis's mansion.
At that time, the First Madam was discussing Qi Ning and Zeng Wanqing's matter with Qi Jinglin and Qi Yuan, the siblings.
The First Madam said, "This can't go on. If Zeng Wanqing gets along well with the children of the Second Branch, she will naturally win Qi Congming's favor. Once their relationship improves, she will definitely conceive and give birth soon. If Zeng gives birth to a healthy boy, then the title..."
Upon hearing that it was related to titles, Qi Jinglin immediately became anxious: "What should we do?"
If her brother were to become a future marquis, it would certainly be of great benefit to Qi Yuan, and she helped analyze the situation.
"In my opinion, the problem mainly lies with Qi Ning. Who would have thought that she would be so peaceful towards the Zeng family now? Moreover, she doesn't listen to us much anymore."
"I heard that the day after Qi Congming and Zeng Shi got married, he called Qi Ning to his study for a talk, and I guess he said something to her," the First Madam said slowly.
Qi Jinglin muttered to himself, "Since the problem mainly lies with Qi Ning, let's start with her. But how can we get her to listen to us again?"
"I've got it!" Qi Yuan suddenly had an idea.
"What idea have you come up with? Tell me quickly," Qi Jinglin urged.
The First Madam also looked at Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan smiled maliciously: "Mother, eldest brother, the last time my third cousin came to the Marquis's mansion, he happened to see Qi Ning and praised her for her beauty. It seems he has a bit of a crush on her."
Upon hearing this, the First Madam immediately thought of her third son, Du Yaowu, who was not very promising.
"what do you mean?"
