Chapter 2: Did you drink fake wine?
"I've learned a little bit of Chinese medicine. When I first felt your meridians, I felt something was wrong."
"Didn't you never go to school?" Xie Nancheng frowned even tighter. He has always been suspicious and sensitive.
"I learned it from my grandfather when he lived in the mountains. I taught myself."
"Is your grandfather a Chinese medicine doctor?"
“I also learned it by myself.”
"Why didn't your grandfather come to your wedding?"
"He's dead."
"oh."
There was no apology in his tone for touching on someone else's sad story, but Tu Ran didn't care and continued, "Let's get back to the point. I'm just saying how I feel. Believe it or not."
"Go on."
"Do you mind if I take your pulse first?"
Xie Nancheng didn't say anything, let her go, and cooperatively stretched out his arm.
Tu Ran turned over and sat up, half-crouching on the edge of the bathtub to feel his pulse.
She was not a lustful person, but she had to admit that looking at Xie Nancheng's face from such a close distance really made her a little overwhelmed.
How to say it?
This face is much better looking than the pictures on TV and in the news.
During the four years she was fostered in the Lin family, she heard some news about him and saw his photos.
After all, the Xie family is the top powerful family in Xiangcheng, and everyone knows them.
What's more, a month ago, when offering the betrothal gifts, Xie Nancheng personally went to the Lin family once.
Although she was not qualified to sit at the table to eat, she still watched from a distance.
His aura is amazing, but I couldn’t see his face clearly.
Seeing him so closely today, with his upper body naked, was truly a feast for the eyes.
"Have you seen enough?"
"I've seen enough, so I'll take your pulse."
Tu Ran immediately turned his head away, closed his eyes, calmed down and took the patient's pulse quietly.
The slender white fingers gently pressed on his strong and handsome wrist.
The cool feeling at his fingertips was transmitted to his tactile nerves, and the feeling was very subtle.
"The other one." Tu Ran said.
"Trouble." Although he complained, he still cooperated and stretched out his other hand.
After a while, she slowly stood up and said, "Okay."
"How is it? What's the conclusion?" the man asked calmly.
"You're poisoned."
"Oh?" Obviously, this conclusion was a point he had not paid attention to before.
"I'm just speaking from my personal experience. I haven't been to school, nor have I studied systematic Chinese medicine, and I don't even have a medical license, so take everything I say as a reference."
"Go on."
"Your pulse is clearly a sign of poisoning, and the poisoning has lasted no more than two weeks. The poison is still very active, and it's showing on your pulse."
"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" Xie Nancheng asked.
"Methanol poisoning—, have you been drinking fake alcohol recently?"
Tu Ran's words made Xie Nancheng laugh.
"Me? Xie Nancheng? Drinking fake wine? Do you want to watch what you're talking about, little girl?"
"I'm just stating my point of view, believe it or not."
Tu Ran felt unhappy about being questioned about her medical skills. She stood up and turned to leave, thinking, "Do you like to hear this or not?"
"etc."
"What's the matter?" The little girl turned around.
"If you help me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. If you have any bad intentions, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Tu Ran immediately got angry after being warned like this.
"Mr. Xie, you have never been polite to me since you walked in."
"Also, being overly suspicious is a disease. I suggest you see a psychiatrist when you have time!"
After saying that, Tu Ran slammed the door and left!
There was a loud bang, which made Xie Nancheng's ears hurt a little. After all, he had been relying on his hearing since he became blind in the past week.
If he had the bad temper he had before, he would have thrown the woman out right away if she behaved like this.
But he didn't now because he had more important things to do.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Help me check the autopsy report of the truck driver who was involved in the accident that day. Also, take me for a physical examination tomorrow and find a few more doctors."
Xie Nancheng stayed in the bathroom for quite a long time. When he came out, Tu Ran was already asleep on the bed.
Listening to her even breathing, the little girl seemed quite relieved and slept soundly.
Xie Nancheng curled the corners of his mouth, groped for an empty seat on the sofa, lay down in a comfortable position, and then took a light nap.
The next morning
When Tu Ran woke up, the man was already dressed and sitting on the sofa, motionless.
He didn't even drink a sip of the bowl of soup the maid brought him yesterday.
Her brain was forced to turn on, and she spoke slowly, her voice a little hoarse, "Good morning."
"You're awake, then get up and have dinner." He still had no expression on his face.
"good."
"Change into something festive. We need to go downstairs to serve tea to the elders."
"good."
Tu Ran knew that big families had many rules, and even second-tier wealthy families like the Lin family were extremely pretentious and artificial.
If it weren’t for Lin Siyao’s beauty and eloquence that made Mrs. Xie so happy,
How could it really be the Lin family's turn to arrange a marriage? In the entire Xiangcheng, there were plenty of women who wanted to marry Xie Nancheng.
On the other hand, the Lin family's business has not been very good in the past two years and they have had financial problems.
It was the sky-high betrothal gift from the Xie family that solved Lin Chen’s urgent problem.
But in the end, the person who bore all the responsibility turned out to be Tu Ran, not Lin Siyao, the real eldest daughter of the Lin family.
Tu Ran took out a light red dress from the simple suitcase she brought and put it on.
After taking off the crown, I felt much more relaxed and just simply tied my hair into a ponytail.
With this already youthful face, she suddenly returned to her energetic state.
When I went downstairs, the whole family was already waiting there.
Xie Nancheng couldn't see it, but Tu Ran could.
The long table was full of people.
She supported Xie Nancheng and slowly walked down the stairs.
"They are coming down." Mrs. Xie said with a smile.
"Grandma, have some tea."
"Dad, Mom, have some tea."
"Auntie, have some tea."
"Uncle and aunt, have some tea."
The old lady of the Xie family is over eighty years old and in good spirits. She is very happy that her only grandson is getting married.
Before the old lady could speak, the second aunt of the Xie family sneered, "Since the Lin family has changed people, and the real daughter has been replaced with a fake daughter to pass off as the real one, then do we not need to give so much betrothal gifts?"
Xie Huailan, the second aunt of the Xie family, has been a very mean person since she was a child. Although she has been married for many years, she still likes to meddle in family affairs.
After she said this, Xie's third uncle also echoed, "The Lin family's actions are indeed dishonest. The car accident in Nancheng was an accident. If they dislike her, they can choose not to marry her. Finding someone to marry her randomly is even more disrespectful to our family, isn't it?"
The second aunt and the third uncle were talking so much that Tu Ran's existence seemed redundant. She clutched the corner of her clothes, looking a little restrained. Although she tried to calm herself down, she still felt embarrassed. No one wants to be disliked.
At this moment, Xie Nancheng dropped his chopsticks on the table with a bang.
"Why didn't you say these things yesterday?"
"Don't you think it's too late for you to talk about it now that we've had the wedding and obtained the certificate?"
"Yesterday I thought you were making things difficult for the Lin family."
"Now, I just feel that aunt and uncle are making things difficult for me, your nephew."
Xie Huailan and Xie Huaishan exchanged a cunning look, and Xie Huailan quickly tried to smooth things over. "Nancheng, of course my aunt didn't mean that. How could she embarrass you? We are a family. My aunt just feels that you have been wronged. Even my eldest sister-in-law complained that this daughter-in-law is not as pretty as the previous Lin Siyao."
If you say that the second aunt is really bad, this sentence seems to be an explanation, but it also betrays Xie Nancheng's mother.
