He brought shame upon himself
The next day, Sun Zhen came to the White family and diagnosed Madame White with An Yan together.
After finishing the pulse, Sun's eyebrows were tightly furrowed and he sighed: "According to my observation, your mother is suffering from a deficiency syndrome. In theory, as long as she eats more warm and nourishing food and takes good care of herself, she should be fine. However, according to what Madame Su said, this is not the first time this has happened, so it doesn't seem like a simple case of deficiency. I've been practicing medicine for decades, but I've never seen such a strange illness."
After listening to Sun Dan's words, An Yan's originally somewhat expectant and passionate heart suddenly felt like it had been doused with a ladle of cold water, cooling down by half. The pulse condition of the Bai family was indeed easy to diagnose, but the situation was always repeatedly unclear, which was truly worrying.
"Mother's illness, I've racked my brains, still completely baffled. Mr. Sun, do you have any friends who understand how to treat complex and obscure diseases?"
At this moment, An Yan's mind moved and his attention turned to those doctors who specialized in treating difficult and complicated diseases.
After listening to An Yan's words, Sun stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying: "I do have some good friends who are skilled in medicine, but they are all in Qin Du. For the time being, it is impossible for them to come here. And your mother's body is really not suitable for the hardships of traveling by boat or carriage."
Her eyes flashed with a hint of despair, somewhat powerless. Even if her medical skills were excellent and she had cured countless people, she couldn't save her own loved one. This feeling was as if it had returned to her past life, back to that day when blood stained the white and red. She too felt helpless then, watching her grandmother leave her. A flash of extreme pain flickered in An Yan's eyes, but her gaze became even more determined.
"I happen to have some rare medicinal herbs bestowed by the imperial palace, which should be able to help adjust your mother's body first. After adjusting for a month or two, when her body is better, she can go see a doctor. During this time, I will also contact some friends and inform them of your mother's situation. My friends are all skilled in medicine, perhaps one of them can treat your mother's illness."
After listening to Sun Dan's words, An Yan was deeply grateful and turned around to say: "Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, Mr. Sun's kindness, Tang Jinxiu has taken note of it."
Sun Dan lightly waved his hand and smiled, saying: "What's the need to say thanks or not? It's really too polite. You and I are also fated, what I learned from Madam Su is far more precious than those medicinal materials and letters. Moreover, those medicinal materials placed there are ultimately inanimate objects, if they can alleviate your mother's illness, then they have fulfilled their purpose. As for my friends, they are all very close to me, it doesn't matter."
Listening to Sun Dan's explanation, An Xun's heart was even more moved, but she didn't continue to say anything. At this moment, saying more would only be a verbal expression of gratitude. However, in her heart, she firmly remembered Sun Dan's kindness and vowed to repay it with all her might whenever the opportunity arose.
After Sun Zan walked away, An Yan remained alone, quietly sitting by the bedside of Bai Shi, gazing at Bai Shi who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, with warmth in his eyes.
For the next two days, An Yan had to take White's pulse at least three times a day, and only when he was sure that White was fine could he fall asleep. It wasn't until the third day that this tense mood slightly improved. However, taking White's pulse twice a day was still unavoidable. White naturally felt that An Yan was being too overbearing, but An Yan persisted, and in the end, White couldn't outdo An Yan, so he became the focus of protection for the White family. At the slightest movement, An Yan would immediately return.
In addition to the precious medicine brought by Sun, Bai's body has indeed shown significant improvement, and her face even has a bit of blood color. In just three days, Bai was already able to get out of bed and walk around. Her body seemed to be recovering, but An Yan still didn't feel at ease. Last time was the same, she thought that with slow nursing, she would recover, but unexpectedly, something strange happened along the way. She always felt that her mother's body was very strange, but couldn't find any clues.
These past two or three days, An Xun not only kept a close eye on Bai Shi's condition but also spread the news everywhere, searching for all sorts of hidden sages to announce Bai Shi's illness and hoping to find someone who could cure him. An Xun had never underestimated those divine doctors from ancient times; she believed that in this world, there must be people who could cure Bai Shi - it was just that she hadn't found them yet.
So in these few days, there were two things that shook the entire Qing City.
One was that An Yan had spent a lot of money to invite famous doctors to diagnose and treat her mother's strange illness, which caused quite a stir in Qingcheng. Because the soon-to-be-opened Baicao Hall, An Yan had already become a legendary woman in Qingcheng's streets and alleys. Everyone was waiting to see if An Yan's medical hall could successfully open in Qingcheng. The fact that she practiced medicine as a woman was astonishing in itself. Even more astonishing was An Yan's medical skills, which were thanks to Sun Dan. Because the two patients An Yan had treated in Qingcheng were both related to Sun Dan. One was saving a pregnant woman who was carrying twins and was in critical condition, and the other was Li Hui, who had swallowed gold and even stopped breathing for a short time. These two events, once spread out, shocked the entire Qingcheng. Baicao Hall had not yet opened, but it had already made a name for itself.
There is also the news of the marriage between Li Jia's second young master and Yin Jia's ninth young lady, which will take place in Qing City a month later. Originally, they were supposed to get married this month, but due to Li Hui's poor health, he is still recovering at Sun Fu, so the wedding date was postponed for a while. However, Yin Jia's ninth young lady came to visit her future father-in-law Li Hui with gifts. For a time, the Li family's reputation was unmatched.
News of the generous reward for a doctor to cure Bai's strange illness had spread, and several days later, many people came to offer their services. There were quack doctors, retired famous doctors, experts in antidotes, and all sorts of others from all over the place. Some were just trying to make a quick buck off the reward, while others genuinely had skills and were interested in Bai's bizarre recurring illness, as well as wanting to meet this woman who was said to have extraordinary medical skills and would soon be opening her own clinic in Qingcheng. As a result, within a few days, it became quite lively.
Tang Chusheng also naturally heard about it, and at first she didn't pay attention to it. However, as time passed by, more and more strange people came, finally making Tang Chusheng take notice of it.
At this time, Tang Chu Xue, dressed in a white ice silk, had a veil of the same color on her face, and her temperament was extraordinary. At this moment, she stood by the window, her hands resting on the windowsill, her eyes sparkling.
What a Tang brocade embroidery, she really has skills, and was able to invite so many people, she is indeed formidable.
"It's not possible to take risks, or else someone who can see through things might appear. In that case, she would be in trouble. Moreover, Tang Jinxiu is extremely intelligent and if she were to investigate and find out about her own relationship with her mother, then given Tang Jinxiu's personality, she definitely wouldn't let it go easily. No, I'd better take the initiative to attack first, can't just passively wait like this."
Tang Chuxue stood by the window, muttering to herself, her eyes changing expression as she thought of a solution quickly. Suddenly, Tang Chuxue turned around and walked to a cabinet, opened it, and took out a small white bottle from inside. Her gaze flickered, and she tightly grasped the small bottle in her hand.
"This is a good thing, it's something that Auntie got from the palace, I didn't expect it to be used on Bai all along."
A flicker of hesitation flashed in Tang Chu Xue's eyes, as if weighing whether it was worth it. But soon, her gaze became exceptionally firm. Even, a hint of madness slowly flashed in her eyes. As long as she could make Tang Jin Xiu suffer a fate worse than death, what did this price matter? The humiliation and shadow that Tang Jin Xiu had brought to her, she would never forget for eternity. Then, she also wanted to leave Tang Jin Xiu with an unforgettable memory for eternity!
Tang Jinxiu, aren't you a highly skilled doctor who can even bring people back from the dead? Then, when your own loved one dies helplessly in front of you, will your hands still have the courage and confidence to diagnose others?
At the thought of that outcome, Tang Chu Xue suddenly felt her entire body's blood boiling, as if it was about to burn up.
Her mouth slowly curved into a cruel smile, and her eyes seemed to have already anticipated Tang Jinxiu's tragic fate.
At this time, An Yan was in Sun Fu's house, and he was diagnosing Li Hui with Sun Dan together.
"Mr. Li's condition has stabilized and if nothing unexpected happens, he should be fine after a good half-month of rest."
Her expression was calm and her words were somewhat formal. She didn't have a good impression of Li Hui, but she would treat him because she was a doctor and also for the sake of Mrs. Li and Li Yuzhu. Otherwise, after what happened that day when Li Hui scolded her, An Yan had every reason to refuse to treat Li Hui. She wasn't so kind as to treat just anyone.
"We really have to thank Mrs. Su and Mr. Sun this time, they saved my father's life twice."
Li Yuzhu was overwhelmed with gratitude, bowing to An Yan and Sun Dan. Both An Yan and Sun Dan were not people who sought fame or wealth, so they didn't care about these formalities either. Therefore, both of them slightly turned their bodies away, with an air of it being no big deal.
Looking at the two of them, Li Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little helpless. These two people were indeed somewhat alike, standing together they looked like master and apprentice, but who was the master and who was the apprentice was hard to grasp.
At this time, Li Hui, who was lying in bed, had become much more honest and no longer dared to underestimate An Yan. After all, he had been brought back from the gates of hell several times by An Yan.
"Mrs. Su's medical skills are indeed good, and this is also in Qingcheng. If you go to Nanguan, it's better for Mrs. Su to be low-key."
But at this moment, a somewhat discordant voice came in.
He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. Two people, a man and a woman, slowly walked into the doorway.
The man was extraordinary and handsome, but he had a 70% resemblance to Li Yuzhu. However, Li Yuzhu's temperament was warmer, while this man was more sharp-edged. The woman wore a pink dress, looking delicate and lovely, but the arrogance between her eyebrows completely ruined her beauty.
With just one glance, she immediately thought of who these two people were.
Recently, there were rumors that Yin Jia's ninth lady would come to Qingcheng to visit her future father-in-law. It seems like this is it. And that man is naturally Li Yutong, Li Yuzhu's younger brother. Looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem like a good person to get along with.
As expected, when Li Yutong's gaze fell on An Yan's body, it was first puzzlement, followed by contempt and disdain.
An Yan was indifferent to the words and expressions of those two people, and could even be said to have directly ignored them.
She turned her head and said to Sun: "There are still things at home, Jinxiu will say goodbye, it's troublesome for Mr. Sun here."
Sun Dang originally looked at the two people who suddenly rushed in with an unpleasant gaze. At this time, hearing An Yan speak, he turned his head and said indifferently: "Go ahead, you don't have to come over for the next few days. Your medical clinic is about to open, it must be very busy. I will also go there to help when I have time, so you don't need to worry about this side."
The more An Yan and Sun Dan interacted, the more Sun Dan liked An Yan. Sun Dan was a straightforward person who valued An Yan after getting to know him, and would consider An Yan in everything he did. Gradually, An Yan's view of Sun Dan also changed. Originally, it was just for the sake of the medical hall that they had contact with each other, but gradually An Yan came to regard Sun Dan as a senior whom he respected deeply.
An nodded and walked out with Su San together.
At this time, Li Yuzhu and Yin Jiuniang, who were ignored by An Wenhua's beautiful words, looked very bad, especially Yin Jiuniang. She and the seventh miss of the Yin family, who was born to the same mother, were extremely favored in the family and had never been so ignored before. In her opinion, with her identity and status, she could almost walk sideways in Qingcheng. Unexpectedly, this woman didn't give her any face at all.
Li Yutong was no better off, he had always been on good terms with Ruan Yuqing, and Tang Jinyu was all too familiar to him. He didn't expect that after a period of not seeing each other, this Tang Jinyu had changed into a completely different person. The spoiled and willful temperament had disappeared, and the current Tang Jinyu was elegant and calm. The useless waste was no more, and the current Tang Jinyu's medical skills were extraordinary.
"How dare you ignore me?"
Yin Jiu Niang finally couldn't bear it, her face turned iron-green, and she stood straight up to block An Yan. It seemed that if no explanation was given, they wouldn't let him leave. Li Yu Tong on the other side also stood still, with the same intention.
Seeing this situation, Li Yuzhu and Mrs. Li hurried over together.
Li Yuzhu came over to Li Yutong and said with a smile: "Yutong, you mustn't be naughty, Mrs. Su still has things to attend to."
The attitude was intimate, with a look of reprimand and helplessness, which actually eased the tense atmosphere that had been drawn like a sword. After all, Li Yutu said so, meaning that Li Yutong was just joking, after all, she was still a child. Li Yutong looked at her big brother like this, wanting to refute, but was given a stern look by her big brother. Suddenly, Li Yutong became obedient, but the glance at An Yan's body was still not kind.
On the other hand, Mrs. Li was also gentle and pulled Silver Nine's hand, "Is this really Ninth Sister? She is indeed a transparent person."
Yin Jiu Niang is not a member of the Li family, and Mrs. Li is even more strict in her warnings, so she can only blame herself for changing the subject. As Mrs. Li comforted Yin Jiu Niang on one hand, she secretly gave An Yan a disapproving look on the other.
Receiving Madam Li's gaze, An's heart softened, thinking that Madam Li had been kind to her. This was a small matter, and she didn't need to dwell on it either, so she reached out and pulled Su San, preparing to leave Madam Li's side.
The matter was mediated by Mrs. Li and Li Yuzhu, and An Yan retreated a step, which should have ended peacefully. Unfortunately, someone refused to give up.
Yin Jiu's gaze turned stern, her face becoming extremely unsightly. The hand that had not been held by Mrs. Li suddenly stretched out and grabbed An Yan's arm, saying viciously: "For the sake of Mrs. Li's face, you apologize, and this young lady will let it go."
In Yin Jiu's view, she had already been very generous. She was the legitimate daughter of the Yin family, while the woman in front of her didn't even know where she came from. This kind of offense against herself, and she only made her apologize, really was already a great magnanimity, this still looked at Li's wife's face.
Mrs. Li's face stiffened, she had not expected that Yin Jiu Niang would be so uncooperative and ungrateful. Mrs. Li's expression also turned cold, she immediately let go of Yin Jiu Niang's hand and took a step back.
Yin Jiu Niang was taken aback and looked at Mrs. Li with confusion, unable to understand why she suddenly became distant from her.
She soon didn't have the heart to think about this issue anymore, because the hand grasping An Yan's arm suddenly felt a severe pain. She lowered her head and saw that an iron hand was tightly pinching her own arm.
"Ah...... it hurts so much...... let go quickly......"
Yin Jiu Niang suddenly felt a sharp pain and her face was covered in sweat, the five fingers that were originally gripping An Yan's arm also loosened weakly. Her angry gaze fell on Su San, she had not expected this man to dare to suddenly attack her.
Su San gave Yin Jiu Niang a cold glance, then with a wave of his hand, he casually threw her into the courtyard outside. The movement, the force was simply like throwing trash.
At that moment, a loud noise came from outside. However, Su San's throw seemed casual, but the force was still under control. So, although Xīn Jiǔ Niáng appeared to have fainted on the spot, she wouldn't be seriously hurt. Although, according to Su San's idea, he really wanted to throw Xīn Jiǔ Niáng into a disabled state, but he knew that the little woman would not like such brutality from him. Therefore, Su San decided to give her a light punishment.
Li Yutong, who was blocked by Li Yuzhu, suddenly widened his eyes and didn't dare to believe that this man was so arrogant, saying he would throw it away and actually did, without even a courtesy call, simply not putting the Nanjun Silver family in his eyes.
Li Yutong was right, Su San had never taken the Silver Family of Nangun seriously.
"Let's go."
As for Su San's actions, An Yan didn't say much and just pulled Su San's hand and left.
"Bamboo..."
Mrs. Li looked at Su San and An Yan's departing figures with a mixture of surprise and fear, then helplessly turned her head to look at Li Yuzhu again.
"They have a sense of proportion."
Li Yuzhu said lightly, her eyes glanced at Li Yutong with a hint of warning. Then, Li Yuzhu went into the room as if nothing had happened to take care of Li Hui.
Mrs. Li looked at her eldest son, sighed, and resignedly went to check on Yin Jiu Niang's injuries. Meanwhile, Li Yu Tong twisted his face, his eyes turned red, and he didn't know what was going through his mind.
