Ouyang Jingxuan, seeing that they were not giving up, added, "The doctor deduced that the improvement was due to the use of potent drugs, and the sudden fainting was caused by the violent backlash of the drug’s potency.

If his medical skills were excellent, my third brother would not still be unconscious. "

Shen Chuwei emerged from behind Qin Xiao, raised her head, and looked at Ouyang Jingxuan, "Third Master will wake up today."

Her voice was somewhat hoarse as Shen Chuwei had just awakened, carrying a soft, feeble quality.

Ouyang Jingxuan laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous, "The doctor already diagnosed yesterday that my third brother’s coma was more severe than before."

Shen Chuwei sized up Ouyang Jingxuan, and though he was a brother, he did not resemble Ouyang Jingyuan and wasn’t as comforting to look at.

"I think you currently need not worry about Ouyang Jingxuan but rather should be concerned about your own health."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jingxuan’s face changed again, but he couldn’t help asking, "What’s wrong with my health?"

Shen Chuwei replied indifferently as she observed Ouyang Jingyuan’s complexion, "Second Master’s complexion is slightly yellow, with a hint of blue under your eyes, indicating a liver problem. It will be very dangerous if not treated promptly."

Ouyang Jingxuan’s eyes widened, disbelieving that there was anything wrong with his health. He feigned calm but angrily retorted, "You, a Jianghu charlatan, think I would believe your nonsense?"

Shen Chuwei shrugged nonchalantly, "Believing is your matter, saving is mine."

Ouyang Jingxuan pursed his lips, maintaining a semblance of calm on the surface, but internally he feared there was something wrong with his health. If he actively sought treatment from Doctor Shen, he feared all his schemes would come to naught.

Just as Ouyang Jingxuan was hesitating, Ouyang Jingyu strode in.

"Doctor Shen, Doctor Shen."

When Ouyang Jingyu entered and saw Ouyang Jingxuan, his brows furrowed, "What are you doing here?"

Ouyang Jingxuan explained, "Big brother, father sent me to take them for a public display as a warning to others."

"Third brother has woken up and wants to see Doctor Shen." Ouyang Jingyu stepped forward and approached Doctor Shen, his eyes filled with joy, "Doctor Shen, my third brother has awakened. Please go and check on him."

Shen Chuwei, seeing that Ouyang Jingyuan had woken up as expected, secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"All right." Shen Chuwei lowered her head and sniffed, frowning at the strong smell of sweat after a night without a bath, almost detesting it herself.

"But I want to bathe first, I reek of sweat, and it’s quite unpleasant."

Ouyang Jingyu smiled, "That’s no problem."

Shen Chuwei followed Ouyang Jingyu out of the Confinement Room.

Qin Xiao closely followed behind.

The Confinement Room was stuffy and hot. Once outside, the air improved significantly but still remained unbearably dry and hot.

Shen Chuwei raised a hand to shield her face from the sun, thinking such hot weather called for staying indoors, with maids fanning the air and ice chunks cooling, enjoying chilled watermelon and grapes.

She believed such days were soon to be realized.

As long as Xiao Jinyan’s leg was healed, she would coax him to go home.

Ouyang Jingxuan watched Ouyang Jingyu escort Doctor Shen away, his face turning green with fury, "The doctor clearly stated that the condition was worse yesterday, how could he suddenly wake up?"

Ouyang Leyuan hurried to the Confinement Room after leaving the Guest Room, eager to see the disheveled state of Doctor Shen, and even more to see him begging for her help.

When she entered the Confinement Room, she only saw Ouyang Jingxuan standing inside and did not see Doctor Shen.

Ouyang Leyuan thought she had arrived a step too late, looking resentfully at Ouyang Jingxuan, "Second brother, where’s Doctor Shen? They didn’t already parade him through the streets, did they? Couldn’t they have waited for me?"

She had promised Lin Xian to bring Doctor Shen to him; she couldn’t let him down.

Just as Ouyang Jingxuan was about to leave, seeing Ouyang Leyuan arrive made him stop in his tracks.

"No street parading yet, the eldest brother took him. It seems your third brother has woken up."

Ouyang Leyuan, full of confusion, asked, "Third brother is awake, and it wasn’t Doctor Shen who saved him, so why take him away?"

"I know as much as you." Ouyang Jingxuan sighed helplessly, "Doctor Shen is too deceptive. Big brother believes him, and if Ah Yuan causes any trouble, it will be too late for regret."

Ouyang Leyuan also began to worry upon hearing this, "Big brother is muddled, too. That Doctor Shen is only after that ten thousand gold. He’s treating third brother as if clutching at straws when so many doctors proved useless. What could that greenhorn have for medical skills?"

After speaking, Ouyang Leyuan remembered the look in Lin Xian’s eyes; he had said that Doctor Shen could cure his eyes. Could it be that she had some medical skills?

Even so, with her plans gone awry Ouyang Leyuan still felt displeased.

In the guest room, Shen Chuwei sat in the bathing tub soaking in the warm water, feeling thoroughly relaxed.

This was the second tub of hot water. Without bathing the night before, she felt one tub was insufficient to get clean.

While Shen Chuwei bathed, Qin Xiao stood guard outside the door.

After her bath and changing clothes, Shen Chuwei proceeded to Ouyang Jingyuan’s room.

The room was packed with people, the Clan Leader, Ouyang Jingyu, and several other doctors were present.

As Shen Chuwei stepped in, she felt the air become thinner and the room seemed even hotter than the hallway.

"Clan Leader, the third master’s awakening is entirely due to the earlier drugs being too vigorous.

After inspection, my subordinates found that the properties of several herbal medicines in Doctor Shen’s prescription are extremely potent, and considering the third master’s weak constitution, they are not suitable for his use.

Doctor Shen’s goal in doing this is to claim those ten thousand gold. "

No sooner had Shen Chuwei entered than she heard a doctor dissing her. As she walked in a couple of steps further, she caught sight of the doctor criticizing her, a man in his fifties speaking as if he knew it all. She almost believed him herself.

The Clan Leader, anxious, paced back and forth in the room, "Then, what do you suggest we do?"

The doctor pondered for a moment and said, "Clan Leader, we could try using Spiritual Whiskers Grass as a medication primer."

Shen Chuwei’s lips twitched fiercely, as the Spiritual Whiskers Grass’s potency was fierce and fast-acting, but it was also a death sentence.

This was not at all a cure; it was plainly an order to hasten death!
