Chapter 12 – Verifying the Prescription (验证药方)
“Dad, I’m really doing this for Mom. If you don’t trust my prescription, we can let a doctor take a look at it. If they reject my method, it wouldn’t be too late for you to say I’m speaking nonsense…” Jing Yunzhao said.
She wanted to save Ye Qin because she was grateful to her for bringing her up. If they managed to save Ye Qin, but she still continued to act as she did before, Jing Yunzhao would no longer hesitate because of the years of so-called care she had received from them.
Qiao Weimin heard her and snorted disdainfully. Even if he disregarded the reliability of this wretched brat’s prescription and had the option of saving Ye Qin, he definitely wouldn’t agree.
Ye Qin’s illness had persisted for more than just a few days now, and already, they’d spent over twenty-thousand yuan on her. If she were to remain in a state of unconsciousness, neither dead nor alive, even after the treatment, there was still the matter of her future treatments to consider. Who would pay for that?
He had married a wife; A woman to warm his bed and give birth to his children—not a sickly burden!
“Enough! You’re getting better and better at talking nonsense! Get lost!” Qiao Weimin roared, no longer giving Teacher Jin any face.
The hospital room was originally silent. His exclamation made the people around them shake their heads.
Jing Yunzhao took a deep breath and left the hospital ward, knowing there was no longer any reason to stay.
“Jing Yunzhao, given that you’re still so young, where would you get a prescription? Could it be that you were lying just now?” Teacher Jin asked, a little upset as she did.
“How about we do this then, Teacher. Let’s find a doctor and listen to his judgement, then we can determine whether I was telling the truth or not.” Jing Yunzhao didn’t wait for Teacher Jin to respond before dragging her to the Eastern doctors’ area.
The doctor in charge of Ye Qin was a Western doctor, which meant he might not be able to understand the implications behind her prescription, so Jing Yunzhao decided to visit the hospital’s most famous Eastern doctor instead.
That Eastern doctor was in his sixties and relatively famous. Jing Yunzhao had seen him before, when she was accompanying Ye Qin to the hospital.
Plus, there was a time in the past when Ye Qin, in panic, had rushed to seek advice from him about her illness. The old doctor had given her a few prescriptions, and he’d also told her that her illness required both treatment and rest, with rest being the preponderance. She mustn’t be impatient and hasty. However, Ye Qin was scared. She doubted she would last long if she followed his advice, so after a few days, she stopped seeing him and went to find a Western doctor instead.
When Ye Qin found out that the Western doctor couldn’t cure her completely, she’d tried to return to the Eastern doctor. Unfortunately, she had already missed the opportunity to try the treatment. The old doctor couldn’t help her anymore, even if he had wanted to.
“Little missy, you look very familiar…” The old doctor remarked when he saw her.
“Doctor Gan (甘), I am Jing Yunzhao. My mother is Ye Qin. She came to you before…” Jing Yunzhao explained as she pulled out a piece of paper from her pouch. “The situation is like this. My mother is currently in a critical condition, and I’ve managed to find a prescription for her. Can you take a look at it and see if it can help her?”
Doctor Gan looked at her curiously. Strange things would occur every day, but this year was by far the strangest.
Usually, people came to him for treatments, but this time, someone was here to have him look at a prescription.
He remembered this girl. She was a very filial daughter. When her mother was hospitalized, she’d worked hard to care for her. Therefore, all of the doctors in the hospital had good impressions of her.
A withered hand received the paper and opened it.
It took but one glance for his expression to turn cold, “Little girl! Where did you get this?”
“My shifu (T/N: master) taught me about it, but shifu likes to roam the world, so he has left. Therefore, the things I know don’t amount to much. This can prolong my mother’s life, but it won’t cure her,” Jing Yunzhao anxiously blurted out an excuse.
This was the first time she had used a prescription taught by the Old Ancestor. She didn’t know if she found the right one or not.
“If you can’t cure it, then I can! If she consumes this prescription for seven days in a row, her condition will definitely take a turn for the better. If we also use my medicine…” There was great excitement in Doctor Gan’s eyes.
He felt that he was really stupid! Why hadn’t he thought of using this type of medicine?!
What Doctor Gan said shocked Teacher Jin thoroughly. She didn’t know what to say.
“Come, let’s go see your mother…” Doctor Gan said hurriedly.
