Chapter 254 – Conflicting Herbs
"It's the type of poison from mixing inconspicuous herbs." Nan Hua looked at her Master then lowered her gaze. "It's from flowers."
"Flowers?" The doctor at the back was looking at Nan Hua with disbelief. "Brat, are you sure that you have the necessary knowledge and not only spouting nonsense?"
Nan Hua didn't know the name of those flowers in this world as she had noticed that some names changed when she learned medicine with her Master. She could only look at her Master. "It's the type of black flower. If inhaled with the incense that used white flower as the main material, it'll general toxin within the body. In long term period, it'll be deadly."
"What nonsense are you saying… there are no…"
"It's called Night Flower as for the incense." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at the incense at the table nearby and pressed it to lit it off. "It's the White Powder and also the type of incense I sensed from the moment I enter this room."
General Feng frowned. "Qiao'er didn't like White Powder incense. She…"
"It's from Second Sister in law." Nan Si Qiao coughed as she tried to explain. She looked at the table and furrowed her brows. "But she shouldn't have known this."
Traveling Doctor Liu shook his head and then walked to the bed. "I'll use acupuncture to push the poison out. For this, I would like the men to step out so as to not disturb me."
"Yes, Old Liu."
Old Master Nan didn't hesitate and dragged General Nan and that annoying doctor out before they could even mutter even a word of protest. Only Traveling Doctor Liu and Nan Hua were inside the room.
Nan Si Qiao looked worried. "Can I recover, Doctor?"
"Yes, you can. But this might be a bit painful." Traveling Doctor Liu took out his needles and asked Nan Hua to prepare for water and so on.
Nan Hua quickly get to work and prepare the warm water. She could see that her aunt was still worried, but she knew that her Master was the best. After everything was prepared, Nan Hua sat quietly and watched as her Master began to work on the acupuncture slowly but surely. His movement was fast and precise, but Nan Hua still could follow everything properly.
Outside the door, the doctor from before was annoyed.
"General Feng, do you really trust that little girl?" the doctor asked. He was only short of yelling because Great General Nan was here.
General Feng, Feng Qian Shao furrowed his eyebrows. "I trust my father in law."
"But…"
"I'll give you the money. You can leave now."
Even though the doctor was still dissatisfied, he couldn't do anything and leave. He looked at the group of people and thought about what he was supposed to say when he met with the others later.
It was enough to cause headache for him.
"Grandfather, is Mother alright?" Feng Ao Kuai asked in low tone.
Old Master Nan nodded. "She'll be fine. You just need to wait and you'll be allowed to go inside."
"That's good." Feng Ao Si took a deep breath. "What's her illness? The doctor keeps on coming with different diagnosis."
At that question, Old Master Nan passed a look at General Feng. He felt that the Feng Family was not any better than Nan Family. In fact, they were bigger than his family and naturally got involved in several matters.
General Feng gritted his teeth. "I'll investigate this matter."
"Alright."
The three children refused to leave. They sat there and waited for Nan Hua and Traveling Doctor Liu came out. After all, they were worried about what Nan Si Qiao's condition.
It took more than two incense stick of time before the door opened.
"Hua'er," Nan Luo was the first to come forward. He furrowed his eyebrows when he saw her sweat. "Why do you look so tired?"
Nan Hua passed a look at Nan Luo. Who wouldn't be tired if they fully concentrated for two full hours? She kept on staring at the movement of her master and added with her underdeveloped body, she naturally felt a bit exhausted.
Traveling Doctor Liu patted Nan Hua's head as he walked out. "You can rest now. She's fine but she'll need to nourish her body. I'll give you the prescription."
"Many thanks for your help, Doctor Liu." Old Master Nan naturally wouldn't call him with 'Old Liu' when they were outside.
"Just make sure you pay me enough."
"Don't worry, the Feng Family will cover up the expense."
Feng Ao Kuai's body stiffened when he heard that. After Nan Hua came under Traveling Doctor Liu's tutelage, he had tried to search more about him. One thing that stood out the most was that Traveling Doctor Liu charged a lot at noble families but nearly nothing at poor families.
It was clear that he was doing charity when treating poor patients but suck out the blood of those who were rich.
And Feng Family…
They were not exactly rich but they were not poor either. Feng Ao Kuai could only imagine that he wouldn't be able to ask his mother for money again for the next few months as the had to save money.
It seemed that he should figure out a method to earn more money for themselves.
"Can we come inside?"
Traveling Doctor Liu recalled the smell inside and shook his head. "Clear the air first slowly. You may visit her later at night."
"Alright." The three children were disappointed. They thought that they would be able to visit their aunt (mother) but it seemed that they would have to wait for a longer period of time.
"Hua'er, you rest first. I'll talk with you tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Shan Yu and Kuang Shen didn't enter the residence and instead find a place for Traveling Doctor Liu to stay first. They didn't have any business in Feng Family either, so they didn't have any intention of coming here.
Old Master Nan looked at his grandchildren then to General Feng. "Can you arrange place for us?"
