Old Madam Ning was speechless.
Second Uncle Ning winked at the man who suddenly appeared with his swollen eyes.
“Miracle doctor, Miracle doctor, quickly tell these idiots that Cuihua was bitten by a dog!”
“Look, has this dog’s teeth been pulled out!” He could not suffer this beating for nothing. He had to get the silver from the eldest branch!
The “genius doctor” only retracted his gaze from Second Uncle Ning’s tragic face after a long while. It was hard for him to remember the lines he had discussed with Second Uncle Ning. “Liu Cuihua’s bite mark is too deep. Coupled with the shock, her life is on the line now!”
Without waiting for Xiaoxiao and the others to speak, Second Uncle Ning immediately emphasized, “Did you hear that?! This is what the genius doctor said! He’s the genius doctor who’s going to be treated as an honored guest by the county magistrate and the richest man’s family. If you doubt the genius doctor, you’re disrespecting the county magistrate!”
Second Uncle Ning felt that as long as the word “official” was mentioned, his eldest brother’s family would definitely be terrified. He did not expect that even the ignorant wild girl was very calm. She asked calmly, “Does the county magistrate know that you’ve given him such a big official’s prestige for him?” “You!” Second Uncle Ning choked. Then, he heard another voice ask, “You’re the genius doctor?”
The young master in white glanced coldly at the genius doctor who was stunned by the shocking change in the room. There was a hint of mockery in his tone. “What’s the use of ephedrine, Chinese herbaceous peony, asarum, dried ginger, honey-fried licorice root, cinnamon twig, schisandra chinensis, and pineilia ternata medicine?”
The genius doctor’s unfathomable expression was a little stuck. Who was this person? What nonsense was he asking? How would he know what these things were used for?
Seeing that he could not answer, the white-robed young master’s thin lips parted slightly. “This is Minor Decoction of Green Dragon for typhoid.”
The genius doctor’s face was tense. The white-robed young master asked again, “What’s the use of coix seed, notopterygium root, divaricate saposhnikovia root, monkshood, angelica root, black atractylodes rhizome, dried ginger, cinnamon twig, ephedrine, angelica sinensis, licorice, and Szechuan lovage rhizome?”
The genius doctor’s face trembled and he could not hold it in anymore. The young master in white snorted. “It’s still for typhoid.”
He glanced at the smelly chicken coop in the courtyard and continued to ask, “What’s the use of chicken poop?”
The genius doctor felt that he had grasped the pattern. He immediately said in a loud voice, “Typhoid!”
The disdain on the young master’s face deepened. Before he could speak, he heard Xiaoxiao laugh. “This is the first time I’ve heard that chicken feces can treat typhoid fever. No wonder Second Aunt was treated so badly by you.”
The “genius doctor” couldn’t help but open his mouth to vomit. “C-chicken feces?”
The white-robed young master said coldly, “You don’t know the simplest prescription and you don’t know the medicine. Genius doctor? That’s it?”
Although the “genius doctor” did not know anything about medicine, he knew how to pretend. “Who do you think you are? In my realm, how can I have the time to study typhoid or even those dirty things!”
Thinking of the chicken coop in the courtyard, the “genius doctor” looked rather disgusted.
The young master in white did not say anything else. On Xiaoxiao’s side, Second Brother could not help but ask, “Then what do you study?”
The “genius doctor” looked arrogant. “Of course it’s the Art of Immortality and Revival.”
These words violated the taboo of the young master in white. He flicked his sleeve and caused the “genius doctor” to take a few steps back and fall to the ground. The latter was about to flare up when he heard the instigator shout, “Nonsense!”
The “genius doctor” was stunned. “You dare to hit me?”
He was whipped to Second Uncle Ning’s side. Although he looked much better than Second Uncle Ning, who had a swollen face, he was really frightened by this posture. This was different from what they had agreed on!
Didn’t he say that his brother’s family would definitely be controlled firmly? He just had to cooperate and say a few words to make the illness sound more serious. The prescription would be more expensive, and he would be given 10% after the matter was completed?
Did they look like they were being controlled?
Second Uncle Ning trembled and pretended. He pointed at Xiaoxiao and the others with trembling hands. “You’re finished. Let me tell you, you’re all finished! The genius doctor is the county magistrate’s esteemed guest! If you offend him, he’ll arrest you and give you 50 strokes each!”
If he said that, County Magistrate Shen couldn’t keep silent any longer. After listening for a while, he walked in. He was as elegant as the few young men present. More importantly, he had a handsome face and a beautiful beard. Second Uncle Ning instantly recalled the court not long ago.
County Magistrate Shen said calmly, “I don’t like to hit people.”
Second Uncle Ning was dumbfounded. Why was the county magistrate here?
Old Madam Ning still did not know how powerful he was. She opened her mouth and shouted, “Who are…” you?
Second Uncle Ning quickly covered his mother’s mouth and pressed her to her knees. “Greetings, county magistrate!”
This time, it wasn’t just the people from the old residence who were dumbfounded. Even Ning Fengnian and his wife were extremely shocked. “County magistrate?”
County Magistrate Shen rubbed his nose. “Actually, I prefer the title of ‘magistrate’.” The county magistrate made him sound very old.
Old Sir Ning, who was originally hugging his pipe and watching from the sidelines, hurriedly threw away his cigarette and knelt down. The “genius doctor” was too anxious and pounced on the ground and ate a mouthful of mud. Second Uncle Ning shouted, “Third Brother, Little Sister, come out and greet the county magistrate!” However, there was no movement from the two doors.m
Ning Fengnian reacted and hurriedly wanted to pull Madam Song to kneel too. Xiaoxiao and her brothers pursed their lips and planned to bend their knees in accordance with the atmosphere. County Magistrate Shen hurriedly pulled them back. “We’re not in court. You don’t have to kneel. Just treat me as Tianci’s father.”
Madam Song’s legs went weak. She looked at Mrs. Shen, who was supporting her and not letting her kneel, and then at the smug Shen Tianci. She felt that it was unreal.
The “guest” his daughter brought home was actually from the county magistrate? This young master who often came to his house was actually from the county magistrate’s son? The person who had chatted with her for a long time about planting vegetables was actually the county magistrate’s wife?
Aiyo, no. Her head was dizzy.
Ning Fengnian was not much better. If not for his two sons supporting him, he felt that he might have fallen in embarrassment. He looked at his calm sons and asked softly, “Do you know?”
The two of them did not want to lie to their parents, so they remained silent.
Ning Fengnian thought of something and looked at his daughter, who was talking to Shen Tianci, no, Young Master Tianci. He asked again, “Your sister knows too?”
The two brothers continued to remain silent.
Ning Fengnian looked at his fist, which was still stained with blood from his second brother’s nose, and silently wiped it on his clothes.
Was it not good to hit someone in front of the county magistrate?
However, if it happened again, he would still beat him up.
Ning Ansheng walked in front of his sister. “Are you hurt?”
Xiaoxiao smiled. “I don’t think I have that chance?” It felt good to be protected, and it felt good to have the entire family united.
Ning Anhui also wanted to join in the beating of Second Uncle just now, but his father and eldest brother were too fast for him to interfere.
Hearing his father’s question, he thought that at least his sister knew his identity when Shen Tianci first appeared. He was actually a little nervous, but his sister was too calm. He was accidentally affected and really treated Shen Tianci as an ordinary guest. Later on, he kept fooling around with him. Thinking back, he felt that he was really bold.
Aiyo, from the looks of it, he had even kicked the butt of the county magistrate’s young master. It did not seem to be a big deal to be a shopkeeper..
