It seemed that the Heavenly Snow Lotus could only offer a temporary antidote to Qing Frost’s poison.
An Yiqing let out a soft sigh, sitting in the chair, staring blankly at Ming Yuan’s heart. It seemed that her medical arts were not yet perfected, which was why she couldn’t even cure her own family’s poisoning. This time, Ming Yuan was lucky; there was still hope for recovery. But what about next time? What if it were her own family members?
An Yiqing felt somewhat defeated and gained a new understanding of her medical skills.
There were higher heavens beyond the skies, and people beyond people in the world. With countless strange poisons in existence, she needed to accelerate her learning of new knowledge.
When Ye Chenghong and the others woke up, it was already past eleven in the afternoon. An Yiqing had lunch with them.
"By the way, Master, I need a few people." An Yiqing talked as she ate.
"Need people? For what? Girl, what new trick are you thinking of now?" Ye Chenghong thought An Yiqing was planning to start another company or something and teasingly said.
An Yiqing playfully blinked and said softly, "I heard yesterday in Yu City that Patriarch Qin is getting on in years and has gone mentally unstable. He’s been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Uncle Qin has always said that the An Family and the Qin Family are old family friends. Since we are family friends and I am a physician, naturally, I cannot ignore his mental illness. I’d like to take some senior brothers and sisters from the Medicine Sect to give Patriarch Qin some proper ’care’."
Ye Chenghong was no fool; he understood the implications of An Yiqing’s words very well. He had already heard about the assassination attempt on the An Family, and he had no good feelings toward Qin Dingshan.
Now An Yiqing wanted to take people to deal with Qin Dingshan, and Ye Chenghong was more than happy about it.
"You smart little thing!" He glared at An Yiqing with a smile in his eyes and nodded, "Alright, I’ll have your second and third senior brothers go with you later. Hmph! Qin Dingshan, that old scoundrel, isn’t someone easy to deal with. Be careful, girl, don’t fall for his tricks."
Ye Chenghong paused, as if something had just occurred to him, and showed a trace of sentimentality: "I heard that after Qin Dingshan went mad, his eldest grandson, Qin Han, has been unfailingly caring for him, taking matters into his own hands in every issue. Even when Qin Dingshan attacked Qin Han with a knife during a fit of madness, he bore no complaints. Sigh! It seems that Qin Han is also a loyal and honest person. Now that the Qin Family is in decline, they can only rely on Qin Han."
An Yiqing’s eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled with pursed lips. No matter how one looked at it, her smile seemed profoundly meaningful.
"Master, you need not worry about the Qin Family’s affairs. Qin Dingshan has brought misfortune upon himself by his misdeeds. Qin Han may be a loyal and honest person, but as an illegitimate child, to have lived so long in a place as heartless as the Qin Family, he must have some abilities. I think he’s not as simple as you make him out to be," An Yiqing shook her head and said.
Ye Chenghong’s expression froze, revealing a thoughtful look.
After lunch, An Yiqing left with two senior brothers from the Medicine Sect.
Ever since Qin Dingshan stabbed Qin Han with a knife yesterday morning, the hospital’s doctors and the Qin Family Medical Team had all diagnosed him with stress-induced mental instability. However, only the parties involved knew how much truth was in that diagnosis.
Xuandu City’s First Psychiatric Hospital, that’s where Qin Dingshan was confined at the moment.
Qin Han chose the best, and also the most public, psychiatric hospital in Xuandu City for treatment. Using the Qin Family’s connections, Qin Han specially arranged for several experts from the Qin Family Medical Team to go in and take care of Qin Dingshan.
In this situation, fooling both An Yiqing and the public’s eyes was of the utmost importance. Therefore, Qin Han did not stuff money into the hospital, nor did he use the family’s power to make the hospital cooperate.
