Chapter 280: Meeting the Master Unexpectedly
In the evening, after Ye Jingchi came back, Li Ying told him about Diudiu. The child lived in the same room with Alan.
"How old is the child?"
"Seven years old."
Ye Jingchi pulled Li Ying over to sit down. "You are both kind people and know how to sympathize with others. That's good. You are seven years old now, it's time for you to go to school."
"Well, Jing Yingyan said that he has registered the child's household registration, so he can go to school." Li Ying saw Ye Jingchi frowning, "What's wrong? You look unhappy?"
"Not really, I just find it strange. We just arrived and picked up a child. Don't you think it's a coincidence?" Ye Jingchi didn't necessarily want to think so badly of people. The main reason was that this was Jiangcheng, and there were too many unknown dangers in Jiangcheng.
Li Ying smiled and said, "Of course I know it's a coincidence. It was because of this coincidence that I asked Alan to adopt her. Think about it, we are in the open, and the other party is in the dark. If we don't find a breakthrough, we may never know who is behind the scenes."
Ye Jingchi pinched Li Ying's cheek: "You, I told you that you wouldn't be so confused."
"I want to go to the Nan family tomorrow. My master said he went back to Jiangcheng and returned to the Nan family. There has been no news for such a long time, so he should be in the Nan family." Li Ying told Ye Jingchi, not wanting him to worry.
"Okay, I'll send someone to follow you."
"No need. No matter how powerful the Nan family is, they wouldn't openly harm others, right? Besides, the only bad thing about the Nan family is Nan Shiran. The Nan family isn't necessarily that bad."
Ye Jingchi also felt that he was overthinking it: "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
After taking the bus and cleaning the house when we got back, everyone was tired and slept soundly.
In the morning, Alan got up early, and Diudiu got up too, following Alan to work. Although he was only seven years old, he worked very efficiently.
"Diudiu, do you often do housework?"
"Yeah." Diudiu nodded and stretched out his little hands, which were covered with blisters.
"How pitiful! If you follow us, you will have a good life." Alan said sincerely.
"Auntie Lan, is that mayor my father?"
Alan nodded: "Yes, the mayor will be your father from now on."
Diudiu smiled happily and worked even harder.
Sister Xiumei brought a basket of eggs.
"It was all my fault yesterday. My wife scolded me. I know I was wrong, and I won't talk about those trivial matters anymore. Big sister, I heard that you were a famous doctor when you were in the imperial capital?"
Li Ying smiled and said, "It's just everyone praising me. You don't have to take it seriously. I just opened a clinic to treat headaches and fevers."
"What are you talking about? If you can't do it, will others say you can? Big sister, you just got here, and it's not appropriate for me to tell you this. When you have time later, I'll talk to you again, okay?"
Sister Xiumei has become much more restrained and no longer dares to ask about Mayor Jing's affairs.
"Okay, in two days."
Sister Xiumei was very happy and got up to go home.
Li Ying looked at the eggs in the basket. Rural people are honest and sincere when asking for help.
After breakfast, Li Ying asked Alan to take good care of Chenchen and Diudiu while she went out.
"You have to be careful, you are pregnant." Alan warned.
"knew."
Li Ying didn't drive, and they didn't have a car when they came to Jiangcheng, so they could only take a taxi.
Fortunately, the Nan family was not far from them. Li Ying had been to the Nan family before with the old lady of the Chi family, and they arrived at the Nan family very quickly.
After getting off the car, Li Ying went to the front door and knocked.
A servant came to open the door.
Li Ying reported her name, and soon, Mr. Qian ran out to greet Li Ying.
“Master!”
"Yingying, come in quickly."
Li Ying followed Mr. Qian into the living room. After they sat down, Mr. Qian ordered someone to pour tea for Li Ying.
"Master, what's going on?" Li Ying was surprised.
Old Qian looked around and whispered to Li Ying, "After I came back, something happened to the Nan family. Now it's torn apart and everyone is making a fuss. The head of the Nan family left me here to help deal with these things."
So that's how it is.
What does the Nan family’s affairs have to do with Master?
"Master, can you solve it?"
Elder Qian shook his head. "It's very difficult, very difficult. But I can't just ignore it now. The old man of the Nan family is so angry that he's bedridden. If I just give up, it would be a bit inhumane."
"Has Nan Shiran come back?"
"Don't mention it. It all has to do with Nan Shiran. She sold some of the Nan family's pharmaceutical secrets to someone else without the Nan family's knowledge, and the Nan family expelled her. But Nan Shiran's father and mother disagreed, and because of this incident, the entire Nan family was in turmoil."
Li Ying didn't expect this to happen. It seemed that Nan Shiran was completely hated by the Nan family. However, this woman Nan Shiran would not give up. She would definitely cause trouble again.
"I heard there's been some unrest in the mountains near Jiangcheng. Most of them are being instigated by Nan Shiran. She's just trying to cause trouble for the Jiangcheng government."
Li Ying listened to Mr. Qian's detailed account of the whole thing, and then followed Mr. Qian to the house of the old man of the Nan family to pay a visit.
The old man lay in bed, exhausted.
"Little one, is this the only female disciple you have accepted?"
"Yes, her name is Li Ying, and she is a very good child. She is very good at acupuncture, better than me." Mr. Qian's words were too important, and he was praising Li Ying to the sky.
"The disciple is better than the master." Old Man Nan tilted his head and looked at Li Ying: "Can you examine my illness and see how long I can live?"
Li Ying looked at Mr. Qian.
Elder Qian nodded and said, "Master's medical skills have deteriorated. If we can't find the cause of the disease, please ask Elder Nan to take a look."
Only then did Li Ying dare to give it a try.
The servant hurriedly brought a stool, put it down, and Li Ying sat down.
Old Nan stretched out his arm and took Li Ying's pulse.
Li Ying carefully felt the pulse, then put her hand away. "Old man, your Qi and blood are attacking your heart. The heavy heart knot has damaged your heart and spleen. You need to rest well."
"It's almost the same as what your master said." Old Nan was very disappointed.
Li Ying glanced at Mr. Qian, and comforted Mr. Nan before leaving.
Qian Lai sent Li Ying out.
"Yingying, you just took my pulse. Did you notice anything else?"
Li Ying smiled and said, "Master, you saw that too, didn't you?"
Old Qian sighed, "I can't say this, because I'm worried that the old man won't be able to handle it. If he can't take it anymore, then the entire Nan family will be finished."
"Master was right to prescribe some blood-cooling and fever-reducing medicine for him. Elder Nan's injuries aren't serious. As long as he takes good care of himself, the problem won't be too serious."
Mr. Qian agreed with Li Ying's statement.
Li Ying got into the car and didn't let go of Qian's hand until she got home. In her palm was a note that Mr. Qian had slipped into her when no one was paying attention.
The note read: Be careful of the Nan family!
Li Ying tore up the note and threw it into the trash can.
It seems that Master is not willing to stay in the Nan family and is imprisoned.
Being able to imprison the master means that he has something on the master.
My master has no children, so what leverage could the Nan family have on him?
