After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Nonsense! The old lady has no such thing as cold poison in her body!"

"Young man, I understand you want to shirk responsibility, but don't make such a lame excuse!"

"Do you think we're all idiots? That we'd believe your childish attempt to shift blame?"

"To put it bluntly, you've insulted my professional ethics! If you don't apologize to me today, this is absolutely not over!"

Chen Yizhen's old face turned a deep purplish-red; this was the first time in all these years that someone had dared to question his medical skills.

Moreover, Ye Bai described him as utterly worthless, not even qualified to be called a "quack doctor."

This was, of course, unacceptable to him, who was always proud and arrogant.

It's important to know that Chen Yizhen's fame extends far beyond the Qin family.

He was practically a VIP guest of all the wealthy families in Jingzhou; ordinary people didn't even have the right to seek his medical help!

He had always been responsible for Old Madam Qin's health, but now Ye Bai said that she had a long-standing hidden illness, which he had never been able to discover.

If this gets out, it will be a fatal blow to his reputation!

Of course, more importantly, he simply didn't believe what Ye Bai said.

Despite using so many advanced instruments, they still couldn't find any illness in Old Madam Qin's body. This kid is clearly lying through his teeth!

"That's right! Dr. Chen is an authority at Jingzhou Medical College! Ye Bai, if you want to find someone to take the blame, you'd better open your eyes!"

"Do you think you have the right to slander a renowned doctor like Dr. Chen? Do you think we'd believe you?"

The Qin family members also began to echo Chen Yizhen, completely disbelieving Ye Bai's words.

It wasn't just because they looked down on Ye Bai; over the years, Chen Yizhen's status as a "renowned doctor" had already been recognized by everyone.

It's clearly impossible for Ye Bai to erase this preconceived notion in just a few words.

Not to mention others, even Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes showed hesitation at this moment.

Clearly, she didn't quite believe Ye Bai's explanation.

"Why waste words with this kind of person? They should be sent directly to face legal punishment!"

Qin Xiuwen's eyes were extremely gloomy. Although he was Qin Wanqing's older brother and should be the closest blood relative to Qin Wanqing among the people present, he was the one who hated Ye Bai the most.

The reason is simple: Ye Bai not only humiliated him severely, but also stole his grandmother's affection for him!

Therefore, if we were to pick out the person in the Qin family who most wanted to kill Ye Bai, it would definitely be Qin Xiuwen, not Qin Shengtu and the others.

"Judging from your name, you must have initially studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, right?"

Ye Bai ignored all of that and suddenly looked at Chen Yizhen and asked.

"Nonsense! My knowledge spans both Chinese and foreign, ancient and modern times, and of course I have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine!"

"But later I discovered that traditional Chinese medicine had too many limitations, and many things were just hype and didn't live up to the hype! So I kept up with the times, specialized in Western medicine, and eventually achieved great success!"

Speaking of his glorious past, Chen Yizhen once again looked proud.

"...yet another one who forgets his ancestors and only knows how to fawn over foreign things,"

Ye Bai shook his head and said, "Since you've studied traditional Chinese medicine to some extent, you should have heard of the 'Eighteen Incompatibilities Song,' right? It clearly states that Veratrum nigrum is incompatible with ginseng, and the two are highly poisonous when taken together!"

"This……"

Chen Yizhen's expression suddenly changed drastically. Although he preferred Western medicine, his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was not low, and he naturally knew about the incompatible properties of medicines.

Especially the "Eighteen Incompatibilities and Nineteen Antagonisms," which are almost a required course for any beginner in traditional Chinese medicine.

The fact that ginseng and veratrum together can produce severe toxic side effects is not just Ye Bai exaggerating; it is a well-documented fact.

"Now, do you still think I'm exaggerating or talking nonsense?"

Looking at Chen Yizhen's expression, Ye Bai asked calmly.

"I...how was I supposed to know that you had given the old lady some veratrum before..."

Chen Yizhen's face turned pale, and cold sweat began to pour down his face.

After all, he was quite accomplished in medicine, and as time went on, and with Ye Bai's reasoned arguments, he began to realize some things.

If what Ye Bai said is true, then he is the real culprit who killed Old Madam Qin!

This possibility is becoming increasingly likely!

"Never mind, it's not entirely your fault. It was my carelessness."

Ye Bai sighed softly. Seeing that Chen Yizhen had begun to back down, he didn't bother to say anything more.

Instead, he asked Feng Gu to go to her room to fetch her medicine box so that she could begin treating Old Madam Qin.

Fortunately, since the veratrum had been ingested previously, there were only residual medicinal effects remaining in the body.

In addition, she hadn't drunk much ginseng soup. Although Old Madam Qin's condition looked frightening, it wasn't as serious as everyone had imagined.

With his methods, not only can he cure it, but it is not difficult at all.

In fact, Ye Bai had already begun to neutralize the old lady's poison by stimulating her acupoints immediately, but it would take some time for the poison to take effect.

This is also why Ye Bai still had the mood to educate Chen Yizhen.

"Dr. Chen, what exactly is going on? Could it be that what Ye Bai said is true?"

Seeing that Chen Yizhen was somewhat distraught and no longer possessed the same fierce demeanor he had shown when confronting Ye Bai, the Qin family finally began to notice something was amiss.

Qin Wanqing, in particular, was the first to ask questions.

"I may have made a grave mistake. I never imagined that the old lady had used Veratrum nigrum..."

Chen Yizhen smiled bitterly. Although he knew that admitting these things would likely ruin his reputation, he still couldn't bring himself to do something so shameless.

Even if he is truly a quack doctor, he still has integrity and medical ethics, and he has never abandoned those bottom lines.

"what……"

Everyone in the Qin family was completely dumbfounded, and they looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment.

"Impossible! Ye Bai is definitely making excuses! How could he possibly have that kind of ability!"

After a long while, a roar came out, which was none other than Qin Xiuwen, the eldest young master of the Qin family.

He could not accept that Ye Bai was better than him, in any way.

"Xiuwen, don't worry, the police will be here soon, and they will definitely punish this charlatan!"

Qin Yuemei comforted Qin Xiuwen from the side, and was also comforting herself.

Although the Qin family is the most prestigious family in Jingzhou, it would still be a troublesome matter if it turned out that she had made a false police report.

After all, although she shares the surname Qin, she cannot represent the Qin family.

No sooner had she finished speaking than the security guards of the Qin family manor rushed in with a group of police officers.

"Who killed Old Madam Qin? Where is the murderer?"

When a wealthy family like the Qin family suffers an accident, especially when the victim is a prominent figure like Old Madam Qin, the efficiency of the Jingzhou police in responding to the incident is naturally beyond question.

It only took a few minutes from receiving the report to arriving at the scene.

"It's Ye Bai..."

Qin Yuemei and Qin Xiuwen were overjoyed at the sight and were about to point it out when a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Are you unfilial descendants so eager for your old age to end? You even called the police? How pathetic!"

The voice was somewhat weak, but it was none other than Old Madam Qin, who had been in a coma before!
