Chapter 179 - [Bonus ]The Past



Old Madam Long?

Right now, Nan Hua was confused as to why Nan Si Qiao wanted to call Old Madam Long. However, she didn\'t ask anything and simply ordered the servants to clean her grandfather\'s room and let him rest there. Scanning the room, Nan Hua\'s eyes landed on the incense burner.

It was already empty but there were still some ashes left inside.

She walked closer and touched the ash, feeling it with her fingers. She could differentiate the different herbs that was used. However, there were also many that she didn\'t know and the proportion was also unknown.

Her medical skill was not that good…

However, she could guess based on the incense here that it was a mix of herbs that was good for Qi and blood.

Bang!

"The doctor is here!"

"I already said that I\'m fine." Old Master Nan was annoyed when he saw them panicked. He knew his body, so he naturally understood that he was fine. A night of good rest was enough for him to recover.

"Father, your body is burning up." Nan Si Qiao didn\'t want to listen to her father and asked their family\'s doctor to check on Old Master Nan.

The doctor had already gotten used to Old Master Nan\'s willful personality. He checked Old Master Nan\'s pulse and his eyebrows creased. There was trace of some poison inside the old man\'s blood.

"Master, did you ingest any poison recently?"

"Ah, do you think that I\'m so bored that I\'ll poison myself?" Old Master Nan was fuming. He snorted. "It\'s just some conflicting herbs properties."

He knew that when he smelled the herbs from another official that someone was using the type of incense that was contradicting his. It would definitely damage his body, so he tried to stay in the palace for as short as possible.

Unfortunately, that annoying official kept on pestering him.

It took him some time to shake that person before returning back home. The damage was done and he could only rest for the day.

"Mother, will Grandfather be fine?" Feng Ao Si asked worriedly.

Nan Si Qiao furrowed her eyebrows. "Don\'t worry, your grandfather is strong. Even if he\'s poisoned, he can stay healthy."

Old Master Nan was speechless.

Who was the one dragging him to his room, then?

At this time, the doctor was already busy to expel the medicine out of Old Master Nan\'s body with acupuncture. Looking at how serious he was, it was clear that the situation was not very optimistic.

Nan Hua was watching Old Master Nan from the side and felt disturbed.

For the past year, Old Master Nan had been treating her very well. He definitely didn\'t allow anything to happen to Nan Hua and always supervised her because he was worried. Now that she was seeing Old Master Nan in this condition, Nan Hua felt displeased.

She didn\'t want this to happen.

However, her medical skill was only good enough to make sure that she would not die. Not to mention, there were many things that she only knew involving the modern world\'s medicine and not the ancient world. It would be hard for her to obtain all the medicine needed to treat Old Master Nan.

\'Was there anything in the novel?\'

Nan Hua could not remember that much.

The novel didn\'t mention much about General Nan. There was barely anything that was related to his illness or anything in particular at the beginning of the story.

Why did his illness act out…

Oh.

It was her.

At this point, Nan Hua realized that Old Master Nan wouldn\'t have gone out of the Capital City if not because of her request. The original Nan Hua might have stayed inside the Capital City peacefully without asking for anything, so Old Master Nan would not have this episode.

Guilt started to grow inside her heart.

Bang!

"Grandpa! I bring Old Madam Long!" Nan Luo rushed into the room and saw the black blood from the needles. He was instantly scared and looked at the old madam behind him as if begging for her to help.

Old Madam Long looked slightly disheveled. It was totally different from her regal and noble appearance when she hosted her birthday celebration a few months ago. She furrowed her eyebrows when she saw Old Master Long.

She might hate the other party, but not to the point of wishing for his death.

"Old man, what happened to you?"

"It\'s nothing much!" Old Master Nan was speechless. "You\'re not needed here."

Old Madam Long snorted. Hearing this annoying old man still could argue with her, she knew that it was not that serious. However, she still stepped forward and checked on Old Master Nan\'s pulse.

Most of the medicine had been purged, so his condition had stabilized.

"You must be very unlucky to have your medicine\'s ingredients got found out again." Old Madam Long was speechless.

Old Master Nan snorted. "That might be because of the leftover I left in Heng Xing City. They\'re fast to find my track again."

"Old man, there\'s not many other herbs that can be used to replace it."

"Just use this one. It doesn\'t matter."

"What do you mean doesn\'t matter? If you keep on using this, you\'ll build poison within your body and end up dying! Didn\'t I always tell you that you\'re going to die faster if you keep on making more enemies?"

"What kind of generals not go around making enemies? Do you think that we can always solve things peacefully over a meal?"

"Why not? My husband is kinder than you."

"Bah! That old man is not kind!"

The others were speechless when they heard them argued. They turned to look at the doctor, who was busy with the needles and felt a bit apologetic.. Their poor family doctor was caught in the middle of their argument and failed to find the perfect time to escape.
