Chapter 119. Looking For Trouble
Just as master Qi was anxious, little Hai came rushing over with the best physician in Jin City, Jiang Yifan.
"Master, I've invited doctor Jiang over."
Little Hai was a child of the family and had a deeper relationship with the prominent family. The old master was kind and usually treated the servants very well. When Madam and the future young master were in trouble, he was also burning with anxiety. Little Hai was out of breath from running.
"I've troubled doctor Jiang to make this trip."
Master Qi cupped his hands towards Jiang Yifan. This doctor Jiang's medical skills were not bad, but he was arrogant, and his consultation fee was expensive. One more doctor meant one more chance.
"It's fine. Let's save the people first."
The Qi family was an Imperial merchant, one of the wealthiest families in Jin City. Both the underworld and the government had to give them face. Jiang Yifan could be arrogant to others, but he couldn't be arrogant to master Qi.
There was no need to ask for a consultation fee with master Qi. As long as the patient was saved, it was no problem how much it cost.
Master Qi was aware of doctor Jiang's pride and was afraid that he would see the doctor in the room lose his temper and say something to him in a difficult position.
"My wife is inside, and a doctor is treating her."
As expected, as soon as master Qi finished speaking, Jiang Yifan's face darkened, and he cupped his hands in dissatisfaction.
"Since master Qi has already found a doctor, I will take my leave."
"Don't, doctor Jiang, please wait."
Master Qi didn't know what was going on in the room and was afraid that the doctor wouldn't be able to save the third Madam and the child in her stomach, so he hurriedly called out to Jiang Yifan.
"My wife was bleeding badly just now, and that doctor bought something in the shop. He heard about it and came to treat her."
Master Qi's intention was not to let Jiang Yifan misunderstand. He wanted to invite more than one doctor at a time. After all, each doctor had a different treatment plan, and the medicine they prescribed differed. Who would listen to it?
"Master Qi, how can you trust someone you don't know?"
When Jiang Yifan heard it was just a customer, he immediately frowned and started complaining about master Qi.
happily reported the good news.
"Isn't this a joke with Madam and young master's lives?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the loud cry of a baby came from the room. Master Qi did not bother to talk to him. His eyes were fixed on the door, and he did not know where to put his hands.
Jiang Yifan frowned. It must have been a fluke. 'Third Madam was probably about to give birth, and the one inside just happened to get lucky.'
"Congratulations, master. Third Madam has given birth to a young master for you."
The door opened, and third Madam's maidservant ran out excitedly. She bowed to master Qi and happily reported the good news.
"Ancestor, ancestor, ancestor, ancestor!"
Master Qi was so excited that he clasped his hands and bowed to the sky, completely forgetting about Jiang Yifan.
"Old master, it's worth spending on this precious daughter."
When the shopkeeper saw that the third Madam and her son were safe, he immediately became spirited. The doctor he found saved the third Madam and little young master, old master couldn't put him in a good position, right? He hurriedly went forward to buy credit.
"Haha, that's right. It's worth it. Someone goes to the accountant's room and gets the silver notes. I have to thank this young Sir properly."
Old master Qi laughed out loud and was in a good mood. He felt more confident now that he had a son. He also had a goal to live with. Finally, someone could inherit his vast wealth.
Not to mention a thousand gold, even ten thousand gold would be worth it.
Hearing that the doctor inside had quickly earned a thousand taels of silver, Jiang Yifan's eyes turned red.
Even if his house visits were expensive enough, it would only cost ten taels of silver each time. He didn't even dare to think about a thousand taels of silver.
Initially, he should have earned this money, but the doctor inside snatched the money from his hands.
This was an irreconcilable hatred!
Jiang Yifan asked the servant beside him what Su Qing did for a living. When he learned that Su Qing was just a young man who happened to come to the store to buy something, he immediately became confident.
"Master Qi, Madam is about to give birth. The one inside is just fishing in troubled waters. Don't trust these wandering doctors."
Jiang Yifan's tone was quite disdainful, and he bluntly called Su Qing a quack doctor. He was just short of calling her a liar.
Su Qing had just prescribed for the woman who just gave birth to nourish Qi, blood and remove blood stasis. Ever since her medical skills had reached Level 5, she could also write prescriptions for people. There was no problem in treating the right illness.
Not to mention that Xiao Qi was watching over her, so if the dosage was wrong, she could immediately point it out.
After Su Qing finished giving the woman her prescription, she left the room and heard Jiang Yifan's nonsense. She couldn't be bothered to waste time with such a despicable person, so she went to look for master Qi.
"Master Qi, both mother and child are safe."
In other words, I've done what I promised you, so hurry up and pay.
"Thank you, thank you, young doctor. Please come to the room and sit. I've already ordered the servants to get the consultation fee. This old man has prepared some wine and vegetarian dishes. I want to invite Sir to stay and have a cup of wedding wine."
Master Qi didn't listen to Jiang Yifan's words and cupped his hands to thank Su Qing, enthusiastically urging her to stay.
One must keep one's word. He couldn't just save his wife and son and then turn around and look down on him for being a wandering physician.
No matter what kind of doctor he was, he was good if he could save people.
Jiang Yifan looked at Su Qing with even more disdain. He couldn't believe a village man like him could be a doctor.
He was angry when he saw master Qi being so respectful to Su Qing, so he came to provoke Su Qing.
"I wonder what kind of medical books this brother has learned and which divine doctor he learned from?"
"Teacher is a descendant of the Imperial physician."
Master Qi felt Jiang Yifan's provocation and his disdainful attitude. He was unhappy, and with a cold face, he quickly helped Su Qing out.
"Oh? I'm not talented, but my grandfather once worked at the Imperial physician's Hospital. I wonder which Imperial physician brother he is the descendant of. Perhaps brother's ancestor is an old friend!"
Jiang Yifan was overbearing and determined to embarrass Su Qing.
"Brother's breath is bad, your eyes are red, and you have an internal fire. I see that you are jealous of the fire in your heart. As a doctor, you can't even cure your minor illness, and you still have the face to say that you are the descendant of the Imperial physician?"
Su Qing covered her nose; her voice was cold and full of mockery.
She mentioned that Jiang Yifan was jealous that she had cured Madam Qi and received a thousand taels of medical fees. A petty and jealous doctor had the nerve to say that he was the descendant of an Imperial physician?
"You ...Ha, brother's tone is not small. Do you dare to compete with me compared to your superb medical skills?"
Jiang Yifan was infuriated by Su Qing's sarcasm and wanted to compete with him on the spot.
"Alright."
Su Qing glared at him coldly. Since he wanted to be abused, she would grant his wish.
"When I came, third Madam was in great danger of dying. Since brother thinks I was lucky to have cured third, Madam, let's not compete in anything else but stopping the bleeding first."
"Alright," he said.
Jiang Yifan felt that this wasn't difficult at all. It was just bleeding control, a child's play. He was a famous doctor, so how could he lose to an unknown (Jianghu) quack doctor? He agreed readily. He was waiting to slap Su Qing in the face and let Master Qi see that he was a Jianghu Doctor who took advantage of the situation.
Seeing that Jiang Yifan had agreed, Su Qing's eyes flickered with coldness as she looked at master Qi and asked,
"Master Qi, do you have a knife? I'm borrowing it."
