The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

"Well, this is what the higher-ups are thinking: we can't find any evidence against her right now, probably because she's been very careful. Once she comes out, we'll send people to secretly follow her, and as soon as she slips up, we'll arrest her immediately."

Master Qi rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "So all you've got is saying you can't find any evidence, and now you're going to release them?"

"..." The words may be crude, but the principle is sound; they have no choice but to need 'bait'.

"Hmph, fine, let her go if you want. But we can't let her go now. I saw in your investigation that she deliberately approached Wu Tiansun? Whose child is this Wu Tiansun?"

"Wu Tiansun is a grandson of Wu Lao's collateral branch, not a child of Wu Lao's family."

"In Old Wu's family, apart from his son and grandson, the rest of the family members are all useless. However, it's a pity about Old Wu's son. I remember that his grandson is also in poor health. With such a large family, if no one can hold things up, there won't be so many monsters and demons appearing."

"..."

Mr. Qi, I pretend I didn't hear that.

Master Qi had a good idea. "Go tell Old Wu that my apprentice and I will go and take a look at his grandson for free another day."

Everyone knows what Lin Yue wants to do.

However, he still felt that Lin Yue was a bit strange.

Logically speaking, someone who has just returned from the countryside shouldn't have many friends here. When she goes out, she usually just goes to chat with that man and go shopping.

So, how did she know about the Wu family's inheritance rights, and how was she so sure that Wu Tiansun was Old Man Wu's next successor?

Old Wu isn't without his own grandson. Unless something happens to this grandson, what good thing could possibly come his way?

Here's another problem.

Lin Yue isn't a fortune teller, and I've never seen her know anything about this before, so how does she know about Wu Tiansun's affairs? Or rather, how does a country bumpkin like her know so much about the Wu family?

Jiang Yuyan, who was already fast asleep, had no idea that her master was just short of proving that Lin Yue was a demon or monster.

The next day.

Having just finished eating, Jiang Yuyan looked at Master Qi with a surprised expression.

"Huh? Master, you...you said you're taking me out to treat other people? Are you out of your mind?"

They had an agreement: on the surface, Master Qi was the divine doctor, and she was merely an "innocent, pitiful, weak, and utterly useless" apprentice, a "little good-for-nothing" who knew absolutely no medical skills.

"Don't worry, they won't know. With me here, what are you afraid of?"

And so, Qi Ming and Jiang Yuyan, master and apprentice, strolled out the door.

The two arrived at the entrance of the residential compound in Beijing and waited for screening and registration before being allowed to pass.

When we arrived at the Wu family home, Mr. and Mrs. Wu were all there.

Old Wu: "Oh dear, what wind is blowing? How did it blow an old man like you, who never leaves his house, to my place? Did you come to the wrong place?"

Master Qi snorted, "It's just that you haven't come to see me for the past few years, so I had to check if you, old man, were hiding somewhere."

Jiang Yuyan chuckled awkwardly to herself, inwardly screaming.

Master, is that mouth of yours really meant to meet a good friend?

Are you really not afraid of getting kicked out for saying that?

You're not afraid, but I am. I'm afraid that everyone will come and beat me up. What should I do then?

However, what she feared did not happen. Instead, the two elderly men, both over fifty, got more and more into their argument, laughing as they cursed, creating quite a lively scene.

Grandma Wu invited her to sit down, saying, "Don't pay any attention to them. Every time your master comes, this old man is happy. The two of them have similar personalities, and they can't stand not exchanging a few words with each other when they meet."

He took out some fresh fruit and placed it in front of her. "Here, have some fruit. It'll be a while before they finish yelling. Let's eat first."

Jiang Yuyan obediently took the apple and took a bite without hesitation. After walking for so long, she was a little hungry and her mouth was watering.

Click-clack.....

A short while later, after Master Qi and Old Wu finished arguing, they turned around and saw that their young apprentice had just finished eating a big apple.

"Cough cough—"

Jiang Yuyan froze as she tossed the pit aside. Turning around, she met Master Qi's warning gaze. She obediently sat up straight and gave an awkward smile.

Old Wu: "Hey, old man, are you trying to starve yourself? Or are you looking down on my family? I can still feed your apprentice a little fruit, okay?"

"Tsk, who wants to eat your fruit? I brought her here for a fancy meal. If she's full from eating fruit, how will she eat your meal? You heartless old man, are you doing this on purpose?"

Old Wu: "..."

He really hadn't expected that, but did that old bastard Qi Ming really think that way?

A questioning gaze swept over him. "You old codger, hurry up and tell me what brings you here today? Even though I'm retired, there are still some things I can say."

"Get lost," Master Qi said disdainfully.

"I heard your grandson isn't feeling well, so I came to take a look. I'm here uninvited, unlike some people who clearly look down on my medical skills and haven't come to me for so many years."

"Pfft!" Jiang Yuyan covered her mouth and chuckled.

When this matter was brought up, both Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu, who had been smiling all along, fell silent.

Jiang Yuyan noticed that Grandma Wu secretly turned away to wipe her tears, her face filled with sadness and grief.

Master Qi noticed the tense atmosphere and frowned. "Could it be that his condition is very serious?"

Old Wu nodded slightly, thinking of his poor grandson, and he was no longer in the mood for jokes.

"My grandson, Yi'an, has been bedridden for two years, unable to see the sun outside, and unable to run and play like normal children—"

"I don't know if it's because of me that he has to suffer so much at such a young age. This year, he's in more and more pain, and the time he's awake is getting shorter and shorter—"

People outside say that Wu Yi'an's semi-disabled state is due to his excessive killings, which have affected his grandson.

Old Wu was a retired general from the front lines. He never regretted joining the army or becoming a soldier. The Wu family also supported him. Even when his son sacrificed his life on the front lines, he never cried.

The sight of his only grandson struggling in agony on his sickbed, his desperate cries for release piercing his heart, brought tears to his eyes.

Jiang Yuyan followed Master Qi to Wu Yi'an's room.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of medicine wafted out.

The room was warm and cozy, but unfortunately, the young man on the bed, who was not yet 18, lay under the thick quilt, looking as thin as a child of not yet 15 or 16, with a pale face and a bald head.

Everyone in the Wu family watched nervously as Master Qi took Wu Yi'an's pulse, fearing that a single frown from him would send them to the deepest abyss.

After taking his pulse for more than ten minutes, Master Qi finally let go of his hand and gestured for everyone to go outside to talk.

in the living room,

"Your Yi'an's pulse is strange, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Logically, with this pulse, he should have—"
