After the excitent settled, a calm Chu Tianming continuously expressed his gratitude to Nianyang,
"Nianyang girl, thank you so much for saving my father, sparing him from the tornt of illness. Please accept my bow!"
Seeing Chu Tianming about to bow to her, Nianyang inexplicably felt a sense of disobedience, and hurriedly reached out to stop him.
"Uncle Chu, you don’t need to do that. I’m a healer; saving Grandpa Chu is my duty. I can’t accept your courtesy!" Nianyang said fearfully, feeling unworthy as just an ordinary person.
Yunrou wiped her face and asked, "Nianyang girl, since your dical skills are so good, why did the old man’s condition worsen after taking your prescribed dicine? What’s the reason?"
Nianyang said solemnly, "This is what I also don’t understand. I can guarantee that the prescription I gave was absolutely the right dicine for the condition. There should be no problem. With acupuncture, I discovered that the dicinal properties in Grandpa Chu’s blood were impure, indicating an issue with the dication."
There was an issue with the dication!
Chu Tianming and Yunrou exchanged a glance, then Chu Tianming looked at Aunt Dong,
"Aunt Dong, bring the dicine Grandpa was taking and let Nianyang girl have a look!"
Aunt Dong felt anxious but didn’t show it on her face and respectfully went to get the pills made last night.
Nianyang took them, sniffed carefully, and said with a cold face, "That’s right, it’s the problem with this dicine!"
"What’s wrong with this dicine?" Chu Tianming frowned,
"We got the dicine from the pharmacy strictly according to your prescription!"
Aunt Dong lowered her head, her heart pounding!
This damn girl, does she have a dog’s nose?
With just a little manipulation, she could still detect it!
"The dicine I prescribed for Grandpa Chu includes 15 ingredients. One of them is Poria, which is sweet and light in nature. It has diuretic and spleen-strengthening effects when used dicinally. Its attribute is warm, and it is the most crucial ingredient in the entire pill.
Before adding it to the dicine, it needs to be stead with hot water. I distinctly rember making a special note under the prescription, but the Poria in the old man’s blood didn’t show its warming effect, so didn’t you prepare the pill according to my prescription?"
Chu Tianming’s face darkened as he suddenly looked at Aunt Dong, "Aunt Dong, you were the one responsible for preparing the dicine, didn’t you follow Nianyang girl’s instructions?"
Aunt Dong didn’t expect such a minor trick to be discovered, and said anxiously,
"I’m sorry, sir, it’s my age. I didn’t notice the notes under Miss Nianyang’s prescription yesterday, and I forgot. It’s all my fault, please forgive this ti!"
Yunrou reproached, "Aunt Dong, you’ve been taking care of the old man for so many years, and you even studied dicine. How could you make such a basic mistake? You weren’t careful at all, and you made us all misunderstand Nianyang girl!"
Aunt Dong knelt directly on the ground with a truly remorseful expression,
"It’s all my fault, I wasn’t careful enough. I’m so ashad. Miss Nianyang, I’m sorry, and I’m sorry to you too, Grandpa Chu!"
Nianyang frowned, unsure why she kept feeling sothing odd.
It wouldn’t be surprising for such an error to occur, but the strange thing was Aunt Dong’s overly dramatic reaction!
Could the elderly really be so exaggerated?
Chu Tianming said coldly, "Aunt Dong, you should be glad that Nianyang girl saved the old man today, otherwise, if sothing happened to him due to your mistake, even your life wouldn’t be enough to compensate!"
