The atmosphere instantly turned heavy.

“I wonder if Young Master Lu would be convenient to reveal where you had got this poison from?”

Cheng Ling had been practicing medicine for so many years and had seen all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. She had also helped many people detoxify poison. However, the person who had been poisoned by Qianji Powder — Lu Qi was the second person she had met.

The first person had already passed away.

This kind of pulse was too special. It seemed to be extremely normal. It was neither floating nor sinking, neither too big nor too small. It was calm and gentle, and the rhythm was consistent. Any ordinary doctor would have judged it to be a flat pulse.

Therefore, they would definitely not be able to find out that Lu Qi was actually poisoned.

For this kind of seemingly normal pulse, if one carefully felt it, one would be able to feel the weakness of this pulse. It was 15-seconds for a cycle. Every 15 seconds, one would be able to feel that this kind of pulse was irregularly strong and weak, smooth and bulging.

The duration was extremely short. If it wasn’t for her concentration and experience, it would be difficult for Cheng Ling to tell the difference.

Lu Qi and Lu Xiu looked at each other.

“This...” Lu Xiu wanted to find an excuse to deal with it. After all, Cheng Ling was just an outsider. The Lu family had gone through a bloody journey to this day. It was unknown how many black and white factions had been involved. The stakes and terrifying aspects of it were unimaginable to others.

Until now, other than the few people who were present, no one else knew what had happened that year. They had also completely suppressed this matter.

“It’s the Meng family in the north of the city.” Lu Qi withdrew his hand and unhurriedly put down his rolled-up sleeves.

“Seven years ago, the Meng family in the north of the city poisoned me. At that time, I was lucky enough to be saved. After that, I’ve been looking for a doctor, and I’ve been struggling to survive until now,” Lu Qi said with some self-mockery.

Lu Xiu looked at Lu Qi silently. How could he tell the truth so directly? And it was to a girl who was only 18 years old.

The secret that he had kept from outsiders for seven years was suddenly brought up again. Lu Xiu’s expression did not resume for a long time.

“Ah Qi, this...” Lu Xiu put his hand on Lu Qi’s shoulder and reminded him to be careful with his words.

They had only known Cheng Ling for two days. Even if Lu Qi suspected that Cheng Ling was the person who saved his life back then, he should not be so impulsive. Right now, all the forces in the capital were still eyeing the Lu family’s position. If this matter were to be leaked out...

Lu Qi ignored Lu Xiu. His eyes were still looking at Cheng Ling across from him. He was very frank and magnanimous.

“If you suspect someone, don’t use them. If you use someone, don’t suspect them. Since we have chosen Miss Cheng to be my doctor, then we must trust Miss Cheng unconditionally.”

Cheng Ling put away the small pillow that she carried with her to check his pulse. Her expression was very calm.

“Thank you, Young Master Lu, for your trust. It’s always a doctor’s duty to protect the patient’s privacy. Of course, I won’t tell anyone.”

When it came to the Meng family in the north of the city, as long as they were people from the capital, everyone probably knew about them.

At that time, the Lu family was still not as dominant. The Meng family in the north of the city was still a big family that could rival the Lu family in the east of the city. However, seven years ago, the entire Meng family suddenly disappeared without a trace. Overnight the Meng residence was empty. It was just like a dream that vanished.

From then on, the Lu family’s power rose all the way until today.

The timing was very coincidental. Seven years ago, the Meng family poisoned Lu Qi, and seven years ago, all the members of the Meng family disappeared.

It must be the work of the Lu family.

“Ah Qi is right. We should trust Miss Cheng.” Lu Xiu also sat down with a serious look on his face. “Since Miss Cheng can name the poison, do you know the antidote?”

Cheng Ling collected her thoughts. Her expression was still indifferent. She took out a pen and paper and wrote a few Chinese medicine names on it.

“It can be cured.”

“Really?”

Everyone in the room instantly woke up. No doctor had ever been so sure that Lu Qi’s illness could be cured. It was even more surprising for an unknown little girl to say this.

“Yes, although the poison in Young Master Lu’s body is rare, it is not untreatable. However, it has been seven years since Young Master Lu was poisoned, the poison has long been flowing through his blood and throughout his body. The poison is also lurking in various parts of his body. To cure it, it will take a long time and a lot of effort.”

“It is possible, and he will suffer a lot of pain.”

Cheng Ling’s voice was not loud, but because the room was especially quiet, it made her words sound very convincing.

Her eyes were like torches, and her face was calm.. Whenever she talked about medical skills in front of patients, she did not look like an 18 year-old girl, but like an experienced Chinese medicine elder who had seen the ups and downs of the world.
