This situation has gone far beyond Yu Lao’s expectations. Clearly, he deliberately mixed the dicine in—everyone took it, so it shouldn’t be getting better!
He could then pin the bla on Nianyang, making her unable to practice dicine ever again.
He calculated everything clearly and logically, so where did things go wrong?
Liang Baoguo, with his straightforward nature, asked, "Yu Lao, didn’t you say everyone was beyond saving? What is happening now—is this their last spark?!?"
Yu Lao’s face looked extrely troubled. Ever since he gained control of the Traditional Chinese dicine Family’s managent, he had been praised and complented wherever he went, without making a single mistake.
He had beco accustod to being flawless, keeping everything within his plan, but now a slip-up had occurred, and he felt very angry.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Lao refused to believe these people could recover on their own, so he nodded, accepting the conclusion of a last spark.
Then Nianyang approached a soldier across from him, rolled a cotton swab in the vomit on the ground, and calmly slled the vomit amidst everyone’s disgusted gazes. She pondered slightly and said, "Chairman Ji, everyone has expelled the influenza virus from their bodies. As long as we clean up the vomit thoroughly, avoid contact, and maintain hygiene, nothing will happen!"
Even though Ji Yuan had seen and handled many storms, at this mont, his jaw dropped.
He widened his eyes, "You’re saying they’re fine? The virus is gone?"
Nianyang pointed at the vomit on the floor, "Yes, the virus in their bodies has been forced out."
Yu Lao shouted, "This is absurd! You mustn’t babble nonsense; how could viruses be expelled from the body in such a way? You don’t have any common sense!"
With an innocent expression, Nianyang replied, "Yu Lao, yesterday you taught a thod. I studied it afterwards, and by following your thod, it could at most enhance antibodies, but the infection risk was high, addressing symptoms without curing the root cause. So, I added a cold-natured Thousand Leaf Grass and removed several warm dicinal ingredients, causing everyone to vomit naturally."
Yu Lao’s expression changed drastically, "You changed the dicine?"
Nianyang nodded with a smile, using her eyes to tell him, "You might have your plans, but I have my ways." Yesterday Nianyang felt sothing wasn’t right, so she snuck in at night and found that all the prepared dicines had been swapped out. So, she just went ahead and changed them all to her formula.
This flu was seasonal in the later generations, so mixing up dication was easy for her.
Yu Lao never expected to miscalculate—Nianyang had already figured out his intentions and turned the tables on him!
His eyes were filled with a raging sea, but finally, they sank, and his voice aged suddenly, "But when I just checked their pulses, they were beyond saving..."
Well, that’s just her trick!
With an innocent look, Nianyang said, "During vomiting, the dicine’s effects onset, which was when everyone felt most miserable; it’s natural for pulses to be weak—that’s normal!"
Yu Lao was furious, "If you knew, why didn’t you say so earlier? And why didn’t you inform about the dicine change? Are you rebelling?"
Nianyang, feeling wronged, said, "I was calculating the ti all along, and you didn’t give a chance to speak when you ca in."
Yu Lao was so angry his beard nearly flew off. Originally, he planned to cripple Nianyang’s wings, but this clever girl had turned the tables on him, making those recent words an embarrassing backfire.
What carelessness, truly!
