All the female members of the Zhu Old Master's household had withdrawn, leaving only an old woman weeping in the inner chamber.
Xie Jiang took a look and said to Ruan Zijian and the others, "These are all ruthless people. Look at how angry the Old Master is."
"Is there still hope?"
Ruan Zijian glanced at the Old Master with disgust and moved far away, showing no respect for the elder. His own descendants had done such shameless things, and as the head of the family, how could he not bear any responsibility?
It was possible that the old man had instigated it.
This old man himself didn't have a good reputation.
Zhu Xuefeng's fondness for certain things was simply a case of following suit.
"Didn't Young Master Xie come to treat my father?" Zhu Da Laoye, hearing their sarcastic remarks, wished he could kill these brats with a single blow.
Ruan Zijian said with his nostrils in the air, "Diagnosis by sight, hearing, inquiry, and palpation. Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand."
Nie Tong opened the acupuncture kit and handed it over.
The Zhu brothers stared intently at Xie Jiang's every move.
If Xie Jiang dared to make any slight deviation or sneaky move, the guards and escorts armed with weapons and on full alert in the courtyard would rush in!
"If I truly wished to make Old Master Zhu suffer, I would have plenty of ways to make him appear fine now, only to fall gravely ill and die without any visible abnormalities in a short while. Why must Master Zhu Da and Master Zhu Er act so comically?"
Xie Jiang withdrew the last needle from Old Master Zhu.
The next second, Old Master Zhu's chest puffed up, and with a sigh, he exhaled a breath of turbid air. Then, with trembling eyelids, he slowly woke up.
"Father!"
Zhu Da Laoye and Zhu Er Laoye immediately rushed to the bedside.
One of Ruan Zijian's companions gave Xie Jiang a thumbs-up, full of admiration.
Ruthless and venomous, yet possessing the skill to heal!
Xie Jiang was also impressed with herself.
This time, she could save someone without Yi An's remote guidance.
In her previous life, her family's external inheritance was profound and extensive in Chinese medicine.
However, she had always felt that having fellow disciples proficient in medicine was enough to cover their tracks.
She and her sister only needed to inherit the true legacy.
Who knew that her superficial knowledge would actually be useful.
Perhaps the reason she chose to enter the capital as a poison doctor was simply because subconsciously…
Sensing Zhu Er Laoye's gaze, Xie Jiang turned away with cold arrogance and disdain.
Old Master Zhu had already sat up and seemed to be out of danger. However, regarding Xie Jiang's words, no one knew if there were any hidden dangers.
"An old man on his last legs, he might just kick the bucket on his own any day. Why would I bother expending such effort? Master Zhu Er need not worry, I have no such boring perverted tastes."
Even if Zhu Er Laoye didn't believe it, he could only wait and then invite some reputable doctors to examine the Old Master thoroughly.
At least, from what he and his elder brother could see, they hadn't detected any tricks from Xie Jiang for the moment.
It was good that he had woken up.
"Who is this..."
Old Master Zhu's eyes immediately fell on Xie Jiang.
Ruan Zijian, revealing a row of white teeth, proactively introduced, "Old Master, this is your savior."
Only then did Old Master Zhu notice Ruan Zijian and his group of dissolute companions, and his face instantly darkened.
"How did they get in?!"
What a bunch of brats!
Zhu Da Laoye, fearing that the Old Master might get angry and suffer further, quickly stood up to block his view and, with an unpleasant expression, asked Xie Jiang and his party to leave.
The air in the room was foul, and no one wished to stay any longer.
Just as Zhu Er Laoye was about to ask Xie Jiang for the consultation fee, Xie Jiang proactively and friendly said, "I heard that Young Master Zhu Da and Young Master Zhu San are both seriously ill. Since I'm already here, why don't I take a look at them as well?"
"No need, they will recover with time."
Zhu Er Laoye refused without a second thought. Zhu Xue'er's current condition was very poor; he would lose control just hearing Xie Jiang's name.
He could even collapse instantly upon hearing words with a similar pronunciation to Xie Jiang's name.
Under such circumstances, could Xie Jiang treat Zhu Xue'er?
If they had known they would have this attitude, Xie Jiang was not flustered by the refusal, "I heard there's a poisonous bee in that forest. A sting will cause poisoning..."
Seeing the brothers' murderous gazes, Xie Jiang immediately smiled and explained, "Master Zhu Da and Master Zhu Er need not worry, the toxin is very mild and not fatal, but..."
She paused deliberately at this point.
Zhu Da Laoye immediately asked, "But what?"
"But, this toxin corrodes the nerves. In simple terms, the poisoned person's nerve state will be affected, and then slowly, slowly..."
Xie Jiang frowned and spread her hands.
Everyone understood, right?
No one present failed to understand Xie Jiang's unfinished words.
Recalling Zhu Er Laoye's mental state, Zhu Da Laoye broke out in a cold sweat.
They hadn't heard of such cases before.
Their mental state worsened day by day, and then they completely turned into madmen and idiots!
No wonder Xue'er, who was detained earlier, ended up in that state! Even Xue Feng couldn't stand the slightest disturbance recently!
They had thought they were suffering from torture, but unexpectedly, it was the slow onset of poison!
The person surnamed Xie actually left such a venomous contingency plan, intending to kill brothers Xue Feng and Xue Er!
Zhu Er Laoye's face was also ashen, but he had to suppress his impending rage for the moment, "Then we will trouble Young Master Xie again. Please, Young Master Xie, be sure to help Xue Feng and Xue Er detoxify."
The reward could be discussed!
Zhu Er Laoye glanced at Zhu Da Laoye.
At this moment, no matter how much he wanted to kill the person surnamed Xie, he had to endure it!
Zhu Da Laoye turned his head away; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back.
How could he not know that everything must be prioritized for the safety of the Old Master and Xue Feng and Xue Er?
But he was afraid that the little brat surnamed Xie would still hold back! And continue to extort and blackmail their Xing Shun Marquisate endlessly in the future!
Wouldn't they be controlled by this malicious brat forever?
Zhu Er Laoye had also considered this, but for now, they could only take it one step at a time. Let the little brat go see Xue Feng and Xue Er first. At least, stabilize the toxins in their bodies, and then they could think of other methods.
They had been careless before.
They thought that the person surnamed Xie would stop after extorting a large sum of money.
Unexpectedly, the brat's appetite was even larger than they had imagined!
Everyone first went to Zhu Xuefeng's courtyard. The servants reported that the eldest young master was with the third young master.
A forgetful servant was whispering in the courtyard, and the extremely sensitive third young master accidentally overheard it. The third young master was terrified, crying, and hiding all over the room.
The people in the third young master's courtyard were at a loss.
Upon hearing this, the eldest young master rushed over to comfort him.
Nie Tong asked, "Could the whispering that drove the third young master mad be – Young Master Xie has arrived?"
The servant in Zhu Xuefeng's courtyard remained silent.
But looking at his expression, what else could everyone understand?
Ruan Zijian's companions listened with great longing.
Who wouldn't want their enemy to be scared to death just by hearing their name?
This was the treatment of a great demon king!
"Then let's go to Young Master Zhu San's courtyard." It was more to Xie Jiang's liking for the two unlucky fellows to be together.
