As a result, upon seeing the contents, Madam Qin's face immediately darkened, and she was even angrier than Qin Xinghui.

"Steward Qin, is this prescription even fit for human consumption? Are you trying to kill Hong'er?" Madam Qin stared sharply at Steward Qin, wishing she could poke several holes in him.

"Madam, spare my life!" Steward Qin trembled with fear and immediately knelt down. "Madam, even if you gave me a hundred lives, I would never dare to disrespect Miss."

As he spoke, Butler Qin looked at Qin Xinghui and Madam Qin with a loyal expression and said, "Master, Madam, this prescription was indeed written by Miss Fang. She said that only this prescription can cure Miss's illness. If this prescription is not used, I'm afraid even a celestial being would be unable to save her!"

Madam Qin wanted nothing more than to crush the prescription in her hand into pieces: "That wretched girl, I originally intended to use the prescription to get rid of her, but this prescription..."

Qin Xinghui and his wife guessed that Fang Qingyou had tampered with the water snake on the Tianxiang Pavilion that day, which was why Qin Nihong was poisoned.

However, no one could cure this poison, otherwise they wouldn't have turned to Fang Qingyou for help.

Originally, they wanted to force Fang Qingyou to give them a prescription, then use that prescription to prove that Fang Qingyou was the one who poisoned Qin Nihong, so that they could get rid of her with a legitimate reason.

But, unexpectedly, Steward Qin obtained this prescription easily, but...

Now, how can we get them to use this prescription as evidence?

What exactly is this prescription that caused everyone in the Qin family to change their expressions?

The prescription says so.

This disease requires internal medication, external facial application, and other auxiliary treatments to achieve a complete cure.

Use the three medications three times a day in sequence until fully recovered.

Internal medicine ingredients: one spider, two qian of rat droppings, three qian of bird feathers, one qian of centipede nest mud...

All the internal medicines require pond mud as a medicinal guide, with a dosage of three qian (approximately 15 grams).

Method for applying to the face: Take 20 live earthworms each time, 10 on the left cheek and 10 on the right cheek, and let the live earthworms wriggle on the wound for 15 minutes.

Supplementary therapy: Immerse the whole body in overnight fecal water for 50 minutes each time.

No one could tolerate such a prescription.

Hearing that there was a prescription to cure her face, Qin Nihong was very excited. However, when she saw the bowl of black medicine that was placed in front of her and emitted a foul smell, she immediately frowned: "What kind of medicine is this? Why does it smell so bad?"

Qin Nihong's two cheeks were covered in festering sores, oozing black pus, making her look exceptionally ugly and frightening.

"Princess, this is medicine to cure your face! Good medicine tastes bitter, but you'll get better after drinking it. This medicine was obtained for you by Master and Madam through great effort; it's definitely for official use." The maid dared not look up, afraid that she would notice something was wrong with her expression and refuse to drink the medicine.

Qin Nihong suspiciously picked up the medicine bowl, took a sip, and then vomited the medicine out with a gag.

Then, Qin Nihong smashed the medicine bowl at the maid: "You lowly servant, how dare you give this princess such medicine? Do you have a death wish?"

Qin Nihong couldn't taste what was in the bowl of medicine, but the bitter, fishy smell made her feel worse than death.

The maid was in pain from the scalding hot medicine, but she dared not utter a single complaint, only silently shedding tears.

After Qin Nihong calmed down, the maid who had been beaten and scolded came out wiping away her tears.

Not long after, another bowl of the same medicinal herbs was served to Qin Nihong.

After Qin Nihong threw away the medicine again and again, on the fourth time, Madam Qin ordered two old women to hold Qin Nihong down and force-feed her the fourth bowl of medicine.

"Waaah..." Qin Nihong was so distressed that tears streamed down her face, which was contorted into a grimace. The festering black pus on her face made her look like a terrifying demon.

Even though the two old women had seen too many frightening scenes, they didn't dare to stare at Qin Nihong when they saw her like this, and quietly shifted their gaze to the side.

If they keep watching, they might have nightmares tonight.

Madam Qin also dared not look at Qin Nihong, her head lowered, her eyes red with heartache: "Hong'er, don't blame your mother for being heartless. This medicine is bitter, but it can cure the illness, so just bear with it."

Madam Qin felt her heart clench with anxiety, because she knew exactly what the medicine contained.

She didn't want to force Qin Nihong, but if she didn't force her, Qin Nihong wouldn't drink it. Besides, after the medicine had been poured out three times, the only medicinal herbs the manor had managed to find were enough for just one bowl.

It took Qin Nihong a full fifteen minutes to finish drinking a bowl of medicine the size of a fist, and she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to die.

After Qin Nihong had recovered for more than half an hour, Madam Qin ordered her to be restrained again.

Qin Nihong hadn't yet recovered from the stench of that medicine when she saw the four stern-faced old women, and her voice changed: "You, what are you going to do to this princess?!"

"Princess, you've taken your medicine, it's time to apply a face mask!" one of the old women replied.

"Why put on a face mask?" Qin Nihong felt that things were not so simple.

"To heal your facial injury," the old woman replied, and she and another old woman held Qin Nihong down. "Princess, this old servant has been disrespectful."

Then, another old woman grabbed something from one of the two jars on the table.

Qin Nihong looked at the old woman holding a bunch of wriggling, thread-like objects. When she realized what they were, and then saw the old woman about to put the handful of earthworms on her face, her face turned pale with fright.

"Ah, ah, no! Quickly bring me these earthworms."

The old woman remained unmoved and instead grabbed the earthworms and slapped them onto Qin Nihong's left cheek.

"Ah!" Qin Nihong's piercing scream startled the old woman who was about to grab another earthworm from the other jar, making her tremble.

However, the old woman had good self-control and quickly grabbed another handful of earthworms and placed them on Qin Nihong's right cheek: "Princess, this face mask method is to treat your face. Just bear with it for a while, it will pass in a moment."

Qin Nihong could hear what the old woman was saying, but she didn't want to endure it at all.

The feeling of earthworms wriggling on her face was utterly disgusting, and with her eyes open, she could see those wriggling, curled creatures.

The earthworms magnified in her eyes, looking like snakes, filling her with both disgust and fear.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Qin Nihong screamed in terror. When she drank that bowl of medicine before, she thought it was the most painful thing in the world. However, this method of applying earthworms to her face was even more disgusting than that bowl of medicine!

Qin Nihong struggled frantically, exhausting the two old women until they were sweating profusely. Seeing this, the other two old women quickly came to help, and the four of them held her down tightly, afraid that she would break free.

At that time, Qin Nihong felt that the experience was worse than death. Little did she know that after applying earthworms to her face, something even more unbearable awaited her.
