Mu Jiuniang had a vague sense of unease. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she just felt very uncomfortable and inexplicably panicked. She had a premonition that something bad might happen.

Sometimes, a person's sixth sense is quite accurate!

You can sense that something bad might happen, but you don't know exactly what will happen, when it will happen, or where it will happen. That's why you're so anxious and restless, because you can sense it, but you can't do anything about it!

We didn't know what would happen, and we didn't take any preventative measures in advance!

There are so many things that can happen in this world!

However, it's usually those closest to you, especially those with whom you have a close relationship, that you feel it so clearly!

Mu Jiu Niang has more than one son, Su Er Ye. She had several children before, but none of them survived. Now, Su Er Ye is the only son she has left. If anything were to happen to her, it would be either herself or her son!

She herself wasn't too worried. It was an old problem for her. The doctor said that many people get like this when they get old. It wasn't her case. Her illness just came on too suddenly and violently!

Although it can't be cured completely, it won't suddenly kill you; you can just tough it out.

Her biggest worry was Second Master Su.

He's become increasingly irresponsible and unreliable. Judging by his physique and complexion, he probably spends all his time surrounded by beautiful women!

How could she possibly feel at ease?

The children of wealthy families all walk with their heads held high and their posture imposing, but her son is all hunched over. To be frank, he's kind of sleazy!

Long time no see, seeing this, it would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed!

However, his son also said that he needs to have his own protective coloration. If he acts too serious, it will inevitably make people nervous, and they will keep a close watch on him, leaving him with no freedom at all!

That's true, but you can't take it too seriously. Just put on an act for show, but you still have to take care of your health!

All these years have passed, it's time to relax and secretly take good care of myself. Humph, men still can't resist the charms of beautiful women!

Don't get so caught up in beautiful women that you forget about your own business!

Once you relax, you might accidentally reveal something, and no one will know!

Mu Jiuniang was uneasy, feeling that something must have happened to her son. So, following the usual method of communication, she sent someone to tell Su Erye not to go out recently, to stay at home as much as possible, and not to go looking for her!

Second Master Su received it, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just his mother's illness and that he was overthinking things.

He recently found a great doctor, took a dose of medicine, and felt much better. It was clear that the medicine was effective. After finishing the medicine, he needs to go for a follow-up visit and take a few more doses to cure his illness!

He understands the importance of striking while the iron is hot better than anyone!

The doctor is right. There's no single prescription that works. You have to adjust the prescription constantly based on the patient's condition. Once the condition improves, the medication will naturally change.

So, he had no choice but to go out!

Observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—none of them can be omitted!

That's the doctor's rule; he won't prescribe medicine if he can't see the patient, no matter who comes!

That doctor doesn't see patients outside the clinic; no amount of money can persuade him to come. Besides, he has a rather strange temper. If you say anything that displeases him, he'll simply refuse to see you!

It is said that people with real skills are often quite temperamental. When they need something from others, they have no choice but to do what others say.

After searching for doctors for so long without finding a skilled one, and taking a lot of medicine, I can't let this opportunity slip away now that I've finally found one.

We've already made an agreement. If he stands us up, we'll never find him again next time we go!

So Master Su heard it, but it didn't really register; he just went about his business as usual.

He was so happy that he forgot what he had promised others.

This "other person" refers to Su Mingyue and her daughter, who live just a wall away.

Fortunately, neither Su Mingyue nor her daughter passed the paper ball over at that time, so Second Master Su quickly forgot about it.

In his mind, if it was something important, he would definitely urge them frequently. However, if he hadn't heard from them for a long time, it was probably because the matter had already been resolved.

Or it's simply no longer important!

If that's the case, why should he bother paying attention to it? Isn't it more important for him to take care of his health?

The doctor said he needs to rest!

I can't handle many things!

If his mother hadn't suddenly fallen seriously ill, he wouldn't have gone to see her, and he even helped ask for medicine, prepare it, and take care of her before and after her illness!

His mother wouldn't let him go, but after thinking about it, he thought, "Isn't that perfect?"

Anyway, he didn't really want to go, but as a son, he had to put up with the obligation of filial piety.

It's better if he doesn't go; then he'll have more free time to do his own thing!

In order to achieve the doctor's advice to rest quietly, he gave orders to the people in the backyard, forbidding them from making noise, playing, or shouting, and to speak in a voice that could be heard at a whisper!

As for the servants, they should all keep quiet unless absolutely necessary!

No one's making noise anymore, now it's quiet!

That day, Master Su went for a follow-up visit, and he was very happy.

After going through the standard procedures, the doctor finally asked, "Did any of your ancestors have similar symptoms?"

Master Su was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. What did this have to do with his ancestors?

Could it be that it was passed down through the family line?

Seeing the puzzled look on Master Su's face, the doctor kindly explained again in a serious tone, "Some illnesses are passed down from generation to generation, only to sons. They can be managed to reach their optimal state through medication, but a complete cure is very difficult! However, it's not impossible. Some can be cured slowly with acupuncture! But to know whether it's hereditary, we need a little blood from your father!"

These words completely baffled Master Su. He couldn't understand them at all. How come he had never heard of such a treatment method before?

It sounds very mysterious, unreal, and unreliable!

He had heard of acupuncture, but had never seen it, because there were very few doctors who knew it, and it was a rare opportunity!

He knew it was a remarkable medical skill, but he still had some uncertainty.

"Um, doctor, may I ask why we need to confirm if it's a hereditary disease? And why do we need my father's blood?"

Master Su asked the questions cautiously, with a very devout and humble attitude, and in a soft voice, clearly afraid of upsetting the doctor.

But the doctor still got angry; his face changed instantly, and his tone became harsh. "I'm a doctor, would I harm you? If you don't trust me, then don't come back! Next!"

Master Su panicked immediately and apologized hastily, "Doctor, I didn't distrust you! I trusted you completely! I'm sorry! I was out of my mind and just babbled on and on, I'll slap myself!"

After saying that, he actually slapped himself hard several times. The sound was really relaxing!
