The scenes from my last visit to Huangshan are still vivid in my mind.

Neither the Xie family nor the Jin family liked him very much.

However, since the old man was still an elder, he was still treated to good tea and snacks.

"Ya Ya," Sister-in-law Huang said anxiously without exchanging pleasantries, "Da Shan is not feeling well. We've looked for doctors all over the county, but they all say they can't cure him. Can you help us find some skilled doctors to take a look at him?"

“Okay,” Jiang Nuan did not refuse. “Jiaojiao, go and invite Doctor Gu over.”

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Dr. Gu?" Sister-in-law Huang frowned, then tentatively asked, "Ya Ya, could we find some skilled doctors?"

"Dr. Gu's medical skills are amazing."

"But he was, after all, the physician of the prefecture."

No matter how good the medical skills of wealthy families are, can they be as good as those famous doctors in the capital?

At that moment, Sister-in-law Huang felt uncomfortable.

She always felt that her sister-in-law didn't want to do her best for her nephew.

"Doctor Gu is not a physician of the prefecture; he has other reasons for staying here."

"Ya Ya," Sister-in-law Huang didn't listen to her, "I beg you, please find a good doctor for Da Shan, don't try to fool someone, okay?"

“That’s right,” Huang Shi chimed in. “Sister-in-law, I know I’ve wronged you, but we’re family after all, and no one has died. Please help me out, considering I only have one son.”

Their words made Jiang Nuan frown. "If you don't trust me, why did you come to me in the first place?"

Are you sick?!

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that Huangshan’s illness really can’t be delayed. If it’s delayed by incompetent doctors for a few more days, Huangshan’s illness will be completely incurable.”

“Sister-in-law,” Jiang Nuan said, displeased, “if I remember correctly, I reminded you about Dashan when I came last time.”

They took more than ten days to find her, and now they're complaining that she's wasting their time. Is this some kind of double standard?

"I..." Sister-in-law Huang was embarrassed. "I went to see a doctor when I went back last time, but I couldn't find a suitable one."

"Let Doctor Gu take a look first, and we'll talk about it after he's finished examining you."

"But he..."

"No buts. Doctor Gu used to be the Imperial Physician. If he can't do it, it's no use looking for someone else."

"The Imperial Physician?" Huang Shi's expression changed drastically. "He's actually the Imperial Physician?"

The physicians of the Huang family are all Imperial Physicians, so how wealthy and powerful must the second branch of the family be?

Suddenly, a wave of bitterness washed over me.

"The Imperial Physician?" Sister-in-law Huang gasped, covering her mouth in surprise. "How come the Imperial Physician is in your house?"

"As long as you know that Doctor Gu won't delay your son's treatment, that's all that matters, sister-in-law."

After saying this, Jiang Nuan stopped talking.

There's no need to say much to people with incompatible values. The relationship wasn't that good to begin with, and after this incident, the last bit of affection between the two families has been worn away.

These words made Sister-in-law Huang feel embarrassed, but she dared not say anything more.

Dr. Gu was very busy, but upon hearing that a life was at stake, he still rushed over with his medicine kit on his back.

Thinking of showing his young apprentice something new, he specially brought the person along.

Upon seeing Huangshan, his face immediately turned ashen. "Xiao Wu, go back to the backyard first."

"Master," Xiao Wu said, puzzled, "wasn't he supposed to teach me how to diagnose?"

"We'll talk about it next time, sweetie, go home now."

"Master, what about me?" Liu Yuzhu asked hurriedly, "Are we going back together?"

"Stay put, I'll need you to get the medicine later."

"Oh well."

Slightly disappointed, Yu Zhu silently lowered her head.

Doctor Gu ignored him and walked directly to Huang Shan. "Do you want to have your pulse taken?"

"yes."

Huang Shan's lips were pressed tightly together, and he felt a surge of tension as he sensed the doctor's oppressive gaze.

I always felt that the person in front of me saw me very clearly, including the darkness hidden in my heart.

Doctor Gu nodded and said expressionlessly, "Come with me."

"Ya Ya," Sister-in-law Huang said uncomfortably upon seeing this scene, "Does Doctor Gu dislike our Dashan?"

Although his eyes didn't show any impatience, the atmosphere around him made people feel that he was very unhappy.

Although her son's illness was indeed difficult to talk about, Mrs. Huang still couldn't accept that others looked down on her son.

No, you've misunderstood.

"Yaya, why don't you go and have a good talk with Doctor Gu? What if he doesn't do his best...?"

“Stop,” Jiang Nuan said directly. “Dr. Gu is a doctor, and doctors are benevolent. These things you’re thinking of won’t happen. If you don’t believe me, you can find someone else.”

She was getting really impatient.

With so many things still going on even now, where does the confidence come from?

Would they dare to do this in public?

"No, no, sister-in-law is just a little worried."

Jiang Nuan didn't respond to these words. She picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and completely ignored the person in front of her.

This scene made Huang Shi's eyes gradually deepen.

I took a deep breath and finally suppressed my resentment.

Half an hour later, Huang Shan walked out of the back room with a pale face.

As soon as Doctor Gu came out, Sister-in-law Huang rushed over anxiously and asked, "Doctor, how is it? How long will it take to cure?"

"Forgive my limited medical skills, I can only try to suppress it, but I cannot eradicate it."

He really couldn't do anything about this kind of dirty disease.

It's not uncommon for spoiled brats to have contracted this disease, but they were diagnosed early and it wasn't fatal. But this person…

If a person doesn't love himself, even Heaven can't save him; he's just a human being.

"Even Doctor Gu can't cure it? You are the Imperial Physician!"

"This disease has never been able to be cured, it can only be suppressed as much as possible," Doctor Gu paused, then continued, "Afterwards, cultivating one's character and taking medicine can still save one's life, but if one continues to indulge, it will be difficult to cure with medicine."

"What can we do? My son is still so young!"

Please accept my condolences.

With a soft sigh, Doctor Gu picked up his pen and wrote a prescription.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it," Sister-in-law Huang refused to accept the result. "Doctor, please think of another way. You can definitely cure him. My son is so young, he can't be like this."

"Please forgive my incompetence."

"Second sister-in-law, think of a way. Dashan is so young, we can't do this."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan turned to Doctor Gu, "Is there really no other way? How about using medicinal wine as an adjunct?"

“We absolutely must not use medicinal wine,” Doctor Gu hurriedly stopped him. “This child’s illness is different from His Majesty’s; medicinal wine will only worsen his condition.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan tentatively asked, "Is it venereal disease?"

Well water can nourish the body and repair hidden injuries. Most illnesses can be eliminated by the body's own immune system, except for viruses.

While medicinal wine nourishes the body, it can also nourish viruses, so it's not surprising that it can worsen symptoms.

"Hmm," Doctor Gu nodded gently, "His illness has been going on for a while, but he's only coming for treatment now. It's too late. We can only take good care of him."

Doctor Gu's words caused the four men, including Old Man Huang, to change their expressions drastically.

This disease only affects scoundrels and playboys who live a disreputable life; they are careful to avoid it and don't want anyone to know.

Now that Jiang Nuan has exposed it, it's both embarrassing and awkward.
