Chapter 74 -76: Resentment of the Evil Spirit

When Mrs. Zhou spoke up, Qi Qian subconsciously looked towards Qin Liuxi, and everyone followed his gaze, expressions turning curious and odd.

Could it be that this young man is a skilled physician?

Qin Liuxi seemed oblivious to the attention, focusing solely on the room with half-closed eyes.

Such a strong evil spirit, nearly bursting forth.

She turned her gaze back to Mrs. Zhou; in the dim light, Mrs. Zhou’s features also came into Qin Liuxi’s view.

Forehead high, nose prominent, and chin plump – signs of great wealth. Yet, horizontal lines marred her forehead, the tomb mound was recessed with thin flesh, and scarring indicated her husband would not live long. Additionally, the deep indentation of her Children Palace suggested shallow relationships with children and difficulty conceiving.

It’s true that nobody’s perfect. Mrs. Zhou has wealth but struggles with offspring, faces impending widowhood, and now an evil spirit afflicts her, signaling her fortunes are on the decline.

Qin Liuxi took another look at the room besieged by the evil spirit and let out a cold laugh internally, seemingly having realized something.

Mrs. Zhou felt a shiver down her spine under Qin Liuxi’s scrutiny, instinctively stepping back.

Her intuition told her it was best not to get involved with this young man lest her life’s tranquility be disrupted.

“Young Master Qi, what is this about?” asked Old Mrs. Ding, seeming puzzled.

Qi Qian looked at Qin Liuxi and asked, “Doctor Qin, what do you think?”

Could he really be a doctor?

Old Mrs. Ding’s heart skipped a beat. His surname is Qin?

She seemed to think of something, her expression unfathomable and strange. She scrutinized Qin Liuxi a few times more, but however she looked at him, she perceived he was male and thus her apprehensions eased.

“If your husband is gravely ill, why aren’t you by his side? You seem quite untroubled,” Qin Liuxi said to Mrs. Zhou.

Upon hearing this, the crowd turned their gaze to Mrs. Zhou. Indeed, if her husband had suddenly fallen ill and become unconscious, how could she, as his wife, remain outside and not be by his bedside?

Mrs. Zhou appeared displeased, but before she could offer an explanation, Qin Liuxi added, “This isn’t the first time he’s been like this, is it?”

Mrs. Zhou, who was about to return to the room, steadied her spirit and instinctively replied, “Indeed, since the beginning of this year, he’s been fainting sporadically. He would recover on his own after a short while, and no doctor could find anything wrong. But as the frequency increased, the durations of unconsciousness grew longer, and his body weakened day by day. This time, we have even sought help from Qianjin Hall in Shangning Prefecture. How did you know?”

Qi Qian stood with his hands behind his back, not surprised in the slightest. Buqiu might be a Daoist doctor who doesn’t rely on examinations to make his predictions, but this statement convinced him even more of Qin Liuxi’s abilities.

Perhaps my grandmother’s chronic ailments can be cured after all?

Qin Liuxi said, “Your husband has fallen ill, and while as his wife, you do show grave concern, your calmness suggests he’s suffered illness before, or that you simply don’t care for him, perhaps even wishing for his demise.”

What vicious words!

“Nonsense!” retorted Mrs. Zhou without thinking, sharply saying, “My husband and I have been married for ten years, as affectionate as ever. Even though I’ve been unable to bear children for years, he has never abandoned me nor taken a concubine. He even suggested adopting from Charitable Hall. With such a good man, how could I be indifferent towards him? I would lay down my life for such feelings. You’re a mere youngster, ignorant of the facts, how dare you make such wild accusations?”

Qin Liuxi couldn’t help but laugh, “Lay down your life? I fear he cannot uphold such deep affection.”

What does that mean?

“There’s really no need to see what ails him, but given your profound affection, I’m inclined to investigate,” Qin Liuxi said as she stepped towards the room. “I want to see just what kind of man, worthy of you risking your life, could harbor such a tremendous surge of malice and resentment.”
