Chapter 22 -22 Perfect Solution_1
The middle-aged man looked at Yang Mengchen, “Young lady, what do you mean by that?” Doctor Luo had just saved his elder brother’s life, so he was quite amiable toward the young girl who accompanied Doctor Luo.
“Uncle, you must be tired from the treatment, why don’t I explain the reason to them?” Yang Mengchen suggested with a smile to Doctor Luo.
Doctor Luo nodded affectionately, also curious why the young lady claimed that this matter had nothing to do with Drunken Immortal Tavern.
Yang Mengchen quickly turned to the middle-aged man and his elder brother, “Do you have a grudge against Drunken Immortal Tavern?”
“This is our first time in Yongchang Town, so naturally, we can’t have a grudge against Drunken Immortal Tavern,” both of them shook their heads.
“If you have no grudge, then how can you be sure that it was Drunken Immortal Tavern that poisoned you?”
Seeing that everyone seemed to agree with Yang Mengchen’s argument, the middle-aged man suddenly became furious, “Before we came to Drunken Immortal Tavern, we were perfectly fine. But halfway through the meal, my elder brother was poisoned. If not Drunken Immortal Tavern, then who could it be?”
“Of course it’s not Drunken Immortal Tavern,” Yang Mengchen pointed to the dishes on the table, “This eel dish, as well as this plum meat, are both delicious, and there’s no harm in eating them separately. But if consumed together, they will cause poisoning. Didn’t you know that?”
“How could that be?” Not only were the middle-aged man and his brother shocked, but the others also turned pale.
Doctor Luo remained serene, but his eyes lit up as he watched Yang Mengchen.
“Why couldn’t it be? My uncle is a doctor with extraordinary medical skills, so naturally, he understands many medical principles! In fact, many ingredients themselves are not poisonous, but due to interactions and counteractions, if they are consumed at the same time they can cause poisoning. For example, this eel should not be eaten with plum meat, nor with citrus and vinegar, as they will also cause poisoning.”
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, realizing there were so many considerations with food ingredients.
“But I also ate this eel and plum meat, as well as the citrus, how come I wasn’t poisoned?” The middle-aged man still refused to believe that it was an issue with the ingredients.
Yang Mengchen did not answer but instead asked the man, “Do you often feel tightness in your chest?”
“Yes, it’s an old problem of mine. I’ve seen many doctors to no avail,” the man answered, covering his chest.
“Do you also experience shortness of breath during minor activities or even at rest, without coughing or producing phlegm?”
“Yes, that’s right.” The man looked at Yang Mengchen in astonishment.
“Sometimes does your skin or limbs turn purplish-blue? Is your nose larger and redder than the average person’s?”
“How did you know?”
“You have a heart condition, and eating eel can trigger and exacerbate your symptoms. Plus, the plum meat and citrus counteract the eel, which is why you were in such danger this time,” Yang Mengchen explained gently. “My uncle has developed a Pill that you can take whenever these symptoms reoccur.”
“I’ll go get the medicine with you right now,” said the man, impatient for the remedy after suffering from the condition for many years.
Yang Mengchen shook her head, “Come to Apricot Forest Hall tomorrow noon to get your medicine. My uncle also needs to tell you some precautions and dietary adjustments.”
“Yes, thank you, Miss, and thank you, Doctor Luo!” The man knelt down with tears of gratitude streaming down his face.
The middle-aged man and several servants also knelt down to kowtow to the two of them.
Stroking his beard, Doctor Luo was surprised and delighted. It seemed that the young girl not only knew how to make medicine, but also possessed extraordinary medical skills.
Yang Chengrong and his two brothers, along with Rong Youyan, their sister was indeed wise and capable!

Chen Siyuan, with a smile on his face, gazed tenderly and passionately at Yang Mengchen.
Shopkeeper Lin secretly sighed with relief. This matter had proven to be unrelated to Drunken Immortal Tavern, and he also admired his young master’s foresight. The young master had said that as long as Doctor Luo took action, the problem would be resolved, and it had indeed turned out that way. However, for such a young girl to be this calm and collected, that was truly remarkable!
Yang Mengchen teased the middle-aged man as she blinked her eyes, “Do you still insist that Drunken Immortal Tavern was responsible for the poisoning and want to report them to the authorities to pursue their liability?”
“No need, I’ll apologize to them and compensate for their losses,” the man said.
The middle-aged man’s face blushed with shame. He then stood up, walked over to Shopkeeper Lin, and bowed with clasped hands, “Shopkeeper Lin, I’m sorry, I misunderstood Drunken Immortal Tavern. I hope you can forgive my rashness. Here are a thousand taels as compensation to Drunken Immortal Tavern, please accept it.” With that, he took out a silver note and handed it to Shopkeeper Lin.
After glancing at his young master upstairs, Shopkeeper Lin smiled and declined, “Since the misunderstanding has been cleared, there’s no need to dwell on it. Please, take back your silver note. Besides, consider this meal as the Tavern’s treat to you and your older brother as a way of making two new friends.” Seeing that the man refused to take the note back, he continued, “Your older brother has just been cured of the poison, his body is still weak. You should help him go home and rest.”
“Thank you for Shopkeeper Lin’s magnanimity. My brother and I will never forget this kindness!” The middle-aged man was moved to tears, then he and the servants helped the older brother to leave.
The onlookers dispersed, each expressing their amazement at the day’s learning experience while continuously praising the righteousness of Drunken Immortal Tavern.
A few doctors excitedly surrounded Doctor Luo, “Doctor Luo, have you really developed a Pill? Could you let us have a look?” If it really had been developed, it would be a major innovation in the world of medicine. Some of them had tried to do it themselves but had failed.
Doctor Luo chuckled heartily.
“My uncle has indeed developed a Pill but as for letting you have a look,” Yang Mengchen said proudly and playfully, “you’ll see it once it’s officially for sale at Apricot Forest Hall. There’s no rush for the moment, is there?”
Touching Yang Mengchen’s forehead with his finger, Doctor Luo pretended to scold her, “You little rascal, don’t be naughty.” He was very pleased inside, not to mention he didn’t have it, even if he had, it wasn’t the right time to reveal it. It might not be appropriate for him to say this, but coming from the clever young girl, it was less likely to cause resentment.
“The young lady is right, indeed there is no need to rush this matter.” Though disappointed at not being able to see the Pill, the doctors nodded understandingly as it was someone else’s achievement, and it was not unreasonable for them not to be shown.
Declining Shopkeeper Lin’s repeated invitations, Doctor Luo was about to leave with Yang Mengchen and her siblings when a young man suddenly blocked their way, “My respects, Uncle Shi, today’s matter owes much to you. I’ve prepared some food and drink, hoping Uncle Shi will honor me with your presence and allow me to express my gratitude.”
About seventeen or eighteen years old, he had jet-black hair gently tied with a White Jade Crown, slanting eyebrows over deep-set eyes, a high-nosed bridge, and full lips gleaming with a healthy luster; his white and flawless skin, along with an elegant and learned demeanor, was tainted by a hint of wicked charm.
Hearing him call Doctor Luo Uncle Shi, Yang Mengchen guessed that he must be Nangong Lingfei, the Drunken Immortal Tavern’s young master whom Doctor Luo had mentioned inadvertently.
“No time,” said Doctor Luo indifferently, “If you truly wish to thank me, you could come up with something more substantial.”
