215 Fatherly Love

“How much is the headband?” Su Cheng asked.

“Two taels,” the peddler said.

“So expensive?” Su Cheng said. “You’re not ripping me off, did you?”

In the countryside, a headband was only three or four copper coins!

!!

The vendor explained, “These are real pearls. One costs more than a hundred copper coins!”

Su Cheng had never worn clothes worth more than a hundred copper coins.

He took out his money bag and counted a few scattered pieces of silver. He gritted his teeth and bought them.

…

At the Marquis of Northern Zhen’s Estate, Su Xiaoxiao ended the treatment for the day.

Physician Fu was sweating. He was not tired, but frightened.

When he saw Su Xiaoxiao stick something unknown into the Old Marquis’s nose, he was shocked.

Later on, she inserted needles into the Old Marquis. Those acupoints were so dangerous that he usually did not dare to touch them.

He had to have a strong heart to make house calls with this girl.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the door. “You can come in now.”

Su Mo took a deep breath. As he entered the house, he suppressed his nervousness and asked, “How’s my grandfather?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The poison is almost cured, but he’s not completely out of danger.”

Su Mo’s expression was solemn. “What poison is it…”

“I’m not sure,” Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully.

Su Mo responded, “How did you cure him if you’re not sure?”

He glanced at his grandfather on the bed.

He was not a physician, and he could tell that his grandfather’s expression was not so bad anymore. His breathing was much smoother, and he did not seem to be in so much pain. His tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

“What did you put in my grandfather’s nose?”

“Nasal feeding tube. It’s for the medicine.”

Su Mo looked suspicious.

He glanced at the small medicine box on the table again. There were no bottles and jars that doctors often filled, but some… things that he could not name at all.

Su Xiaoxiao closed the small medicine box quietly.

Su Mo retracted his gaze. “Since the poison has been cured, why hasn’t my grandfather woken up?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The poison has been cured, but the patient is still sick.”

“You are the one who’s…”

Su Mo took a deep breath. Forget it, his grandfather was indeed sick…

No, why did these words sound so wrong?

“Your grandfather has a heart disease.” Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to use words that Su Mo could understand.

Su Mo was slightly puzzled. “Isn’t it a cold and spleen and stomach disorder?”

This was what the Imperial Physician had diagnosed when his grandfather vomited.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “The patient’s early symptoms are indeed easily misdiagnosed as cold and spleen and stomach dysfunction.”

Su Mo continued, “But it did improve after taking the medicine…”

Su Xiaoxiao asked unhurriedly, “His diet was especially light during the few days he took the medicine, right?”

Su Mo looked at the servant at the door.

The servant entered the house and said, “Yes.”

“That’s right,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “You have to be strict with your diet when consuming Chinese medicine. The patient’s illness is also related to his diet. If his diet is light, his body will feel better. However, the patient only improved a little and hasn’t been completely cured, right?”

The servant stammered, “Ah, right.”

Su Mo looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply. If not for the fact that she had no contact with the Marquis Mansion, he would have suspected that she had understood his grandfather’s condition in advance.

“You learned well from Doctor Fu.”

She spoke logically and did not look like a disciple who had yet to graduate.

Physician Fu coughed.

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression did not change. “Oh, we make do. Remember to circulate more air in the house. Don’t close the doors and windows so tightly. It’s not good for the patient’s condition.”

Su Mo subconsciously frowned. She kept calling him a patient and was completely drawing a line with the Marquis Mansion.
