Chapter 468: Chapter 455 Such Shameless Person

Moreover, being summoned to treat a patient only to have someone else take over, then being dismissed with an excuse, was somewhat humiliating for Dr. Qin.

So, when Dr. Qin raised this issue, Fang Hou almost didn’t hesitate and directly agreed to it.

When he woke up in the morning, Fang Hou had already arranged for a carriage to send Dr. Qin back to the city. He was busy taking care of Cheng Ruize’s feeding and medication and Zhuang Qingning’s visit, so he didn’t notice whether Dr. Qin left.

“Can I have a word with you?” Dr. Qin asked, bowing with a smile.

Seeing that Dr. Qin seemed to have something to say, Fang Hou stepped forward to follow Dr. Qin aside.

As he moved, he realized that Dr. Qin was not addressing him, but instead inclined respectfully towards Zhuang Qingning, saying, “My lady, I have a couple of questions, if I may.”

“Hello, Dr. Qin.”

To avoid disrupting Cheng Ruize’s rest, Zhuang Qingning stepped outside to speak in a nearby flower hall. “Dr. Qin, you flatter me. I do not consider myself worthy of such a request for advice. What do you wish to discuss?”

“When I first examined the Third Young Master Cheng, I could see that his disease was severe. It worsened due to the misdiagnosis of a quack, and is now escalating. Frankly speaking, even if I gave my best, I would hardly have a one in ten chance of curing him. It’s all up to destiny.”

“But yesterday afternoon, when I examined him again, there seemed to be signs of improvement in Third Young Master Cheng’s condition, which is truly amazing. Old man wishes to ask this lady how she managed to cure Third Young Master Cheng.” Dr. Qin said with a bow.

“You flatter me too much, Dr. Qin,” Zhuang Qingning replied with an awkward smile. “To be honest, I don’t know much about medicine, I’m not sure how to explain it to you.”

“The cure for Manager Cheng’s illness was more luck than skill. My father once suffered from the same symptoms and was treated by a travelling doctor who prescribed a specific kind of pill. After taking it, my father showed significant improvement.”

“Yesterday, when I heard about Manager Cheng’s illness, I wanted to visit him. After finding out that his symptoms were similar to those of my father, I decided to try the same treatment. It turns out that the pill was very effective.”

Zhuang Qingning made up a lie, trying to brush off the issue.

“I see,” Dr. Qin nodded. “Can you give me some of those pills so I can take a closer look?”

“Please understand, Dr. Qin, these pills are ready-made, and it’s extremely difficult to produce more. If I were to give some to you, I’m afraid there would not be enough for Manager Cheng’s treatment,” Zhuang Qingning truthfully replied.

After all, the pills were provided by the system, and they had a fixed quantity. Saying that they were difficult to reproduce was indeed correct.

“Then….”

Dr. Qin paused for a moment, then continued, “Can I take a look at the prescription for these pills?”

“I’m afraid I can’t let you see the prescription either,” Zhuang Qingning replied, raising an eyebrow. “The prescription belongs to someone else, and without their permission, I can’t just give it away.”

At this point, Dr. Qin’s formerly amiable expression immediately faded, and in fact disappeared entirely from his face.
