Shu Yu couldn't help but rub her forehead as she observed Ah Ning's familiar and skillful demeanor. It seemed that both of them acted this way outside.
Master Tan quickly said, "If it's convenient for doctor Zhao, please, I implore you to take another look at my son. I entrust him to you."
Ah Ning spoke again, "My master's method is quite extraordinary; he uses poison to counteract poison. Are you daring enough?"
Mr. Tan's face indeed showed a hint of hesitation, but he gritted his teeth in the end, "Doctor Zhao, please come inside."
Ah Ning nodded, "Alright, since you agreed, we won't hold anything against you anymore. That young master Tan looks quite pitiful. Let's cure him as soon as possible and then head home. I miss my little nephew."
She referred to Shu You's child in her belly. Ah Ning liked to stay close to Shu You and talk to her belly.
Doctor Zhao was originally planning to tease a bit, but when he heard her mention this, he readily agreed. After all, that child was his grand-disciple, and he was quite fond of him.
He nodded and said to Master Tan, "Lead the way."
Master Tan let out a sigh of relief, "Please, doctor Zhao, come this way."
Madam Tan stood in the hall, watching the figures in the distance. She opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, but eventually clenched her teeth and decided to take this gamble.
She turned to Shu Yu and said, "Village Lord, please come in and have some tea."
The group headed back to the rear courtyard. Young Master Tan needed to recuperate, so his courtyard was located not far from the front yard, but it was relatively secluded.
Despite the hot weather, the moment they entered Young Master Tan's courtyard, it felt quite cool.
Shu Yu followed doctor Zhao inside and took a glance at Young Master Tan. He really looked seriously ill, so emaciated that one couldn't determine his exact age.
doctor Zhao sat back on the bed and took Young Master Tan's pulse.
Master Tan anxiously waited beside them, but the answer doctor Zhao gave was the same as before, "Indeed, he was poisoned, and if not treated now, it will be beyond help in three months."
Master Tan's hand trembled, and Madam Tan hurriedly said, "But I noticed that his condition has improved a bit in the past few days. The doctors at the mansion also said his condition has improved. How can it be that he only has three months left?"
doctor Zhao glanced at her, "You know about the 'returning to light before death,' right?"
Madam Tan turned pale and couldn't help but cover her mouth, crying.
Master Tan calmed down a bit. He took a deep breath and said, "Please, doctor Zhao, save my son's life."
"Saving his life is not a problem, but the process will be painful. Also, I need to make it clear beforehand. Young Master is affected by chronic poison, which was administered two years ago and is still active."
Master Tan wasn't a fool; when he heard this, his pupils constricted suddenly, and he immediately understood.
Chronic poison, being administered daily, indicated that the person responsible was someone who served him.
His expression turned cold, and he immediately called a trusted servant, "Get people to guard everyone inside and outside this courtyard. From now on, whether it's the front gate or the back gate, everything must be strictly monitored. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Yes." The servant understood the severity of the situation and immediately went to handle it.
As she stood behind, Shu Yu frowned slightly. Chronic poison again?
She couldn't help but glance at Young Master Tan. His emaciated appearance indeed resembled Xiao Shi.
Could there be any connection between them?
