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

Old Wu understood what he meant and nodded heavily. "Yes, we've consulted many doctors, and they all say Yi'an won't live past adulthood. He'll be eighteen in a month, and we're worried—"

Seeing that Grandma Wu was crying her eyes out, Jiang Yuyan was helped back to her room to rest by Madam Wu, who had been silent all along.

Recalling Wu Yi'an's complexion, which was pale with a slight yellow tinge, and his lips were pale with a hint of purple, she noticed something similar to a case she knew.

However, whether or not she needs to personally take his pulse and examine him carefully is still uncertain.

Otherwise, the treatment for one disease and the treatment for another disease are completely different.

One wrong move, and you might not only fail to save someone, but also accelerate the shortening of their lifespan.

Master Qi noticed the wink Jiang Yuyan gave him, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Old Wu, I won't lie to you, but I think it's better to be cautious about your grandson's illness. I'll give him another full-body checkup, so that the examination is thorough and you can have peace of mind."

Mr. Wu was of course willing.

"Just wait outside. My apprentice will come and help me. Don't go in and feel bad if you see him like this," Master Qi said.

Old Wu paused for a moment, looked at his serious expression, and nodded with a wry smile, "I'm getting old, not so useful anymore—"

"Tsk, are you provoking me?"

Old Wu suddenly remembered that Qi Ming was a year older than him, and immediately threw his head back and laughed as he walked outside, saying, "I'll wait for you outside. Just call if you need anything."

'Bang!'

After closing the door, Master Qi turned around and saw Jiang Yuyan already carefully taking someone's pulse.

Unsurprisingly.

Jiang Yuyan revealed that in addition to his inherent weakness, Wu Yi'an also carried a trace amount of toxins in his body. These toxins were not harmful to the body at first and would be naturally excreted after a few days of non-use.

However, Wu Yi'an had been taking this toxin for at least four or five years, which caused his body to become increasingly weak. In the end, he was like a terminally ill patient who went unnoticed until his death.

"Did the tests reveal anything? Is it not as simple as you thought?"

Jiang Yuyan nodded. "Master, didn't you already detect the poisoning in his body? Why didn't you tell Elder Wu and the others just now?"

"What good would it do to tell him? Aside from his weak constitution, this poison alone is enough to kill him. There's no antidote, so telling him is pointless."

Jiang Yuyan understood what he meant.

According to the medical knowledge of that era, there was simply no simple antidote that could be made into a universal antidote without knowing the effects of the toxin.

It might be hard to say about others, but she happens to be a professional pharmacist in this field, and making a universal antidote is a piece of cake for her.

"Look at your expression, what's wrong? Have you thought of a good way to deal with him?"

Jiang Yuyan smiled and said, "Master, I have thought of a method, but it is still missing a few extremely important herbs. I don't know if we can find them."

In addition to century-old ginseng, it also requires century-old Ganoderma lucidum and the heart's blood of a close relative.

Master Qi frowned. "A hundred years? It has to be a hundred years. Can't it be any other year?"

Let alone a hundred years, even fifty years is hard to come by.

"No, the toxins in his body have been accumulating for several years. The effects of the medicine over the past ten years are simply not enough to eradicate the toxins in his body. In fact, it may even accelerate the growth of the toxins in his body."

Master Qi nodded, "Alright, let Old Wu handle this. Let's see if his grandson is lucky enough to survive."

After hearing what he said, Old Wu muttered something, but it was too soft for her to hear. Then, perhaps realizing what he had said, he grabbed Master Qi.

"Are you sure that as long as we find these two medicines, Yi'an can be saved?"

"Hey, you old man, what's wrong? After all these years, you still don't know me? When have I ever lied to you?"

Upon receiving confirmation, Mr. Wu was so excited he almost fainted, but fortunately, he was in good physical condition and there were no major problems.

"I know, I'll go find someone right now—"

Master Qi interrupted him, saying sternly, "Remember, you only have one month. After that time, even if you find the medicine later, it will be useless."

Wu Yi'an's health only allows him to hold on for another month; there's no way to do it any longer.

Since Master Qi and Old Wu hadn't seen each other for many years and had a lot to talk about, Jiang Yuyan decided not to disturb them inside. She told them and then went out for a stroll.

Walking on the deserted street, Jiang Yuyan looked at the family compound, which was clearly different from the outside world. It was quiet and beautiful, indeed different.

She looked around, unaware that she had become part of the scenery in other people's eyes.

Two young people from the family compound and a bright and quiet woman all saw Jiang Yuyan walking towards them.

When a woman sees someone who is prettier and more beautiful than her, she feels jealous, but at the same time, she is afraid that the young people around her will see it.

As a result, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the young man was staring at Jiang Yuyan in front of him, and he was so angry that he almost burst into flames.

"Brother Chen Li, what are you looking at?" The voice was sweet and coquettish, like she was being coquettish or throwing a tantrum.

Chen Li snapped out of her daze, her expression somewhat dazed. "Ah? I, I didn't, Wu Lili, today I—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Jiang Yuyan about to pass by them, and a sweet fragrance wafted over, making him feel a jolt.

Wu Lili was furious and turned around to shout, "Stop!"

A loud shout startled Jiang Yuyan, who was caught off guard. Her heart pounded, and she turned around in confusion, only to meet a pair of angry eyes.

Jiang Yuyan frowned. "Did you call me, comrade?"

"Besides you, is there anyone else here? And you're not even from the family compound, are you? How did you get in? Could it be—"

A malice flashed in Wu Lili's eyes. "You sneaked in, didn't you? Your clothes... good heavens, you're not planning to steal something, are you? Brother Chen Li, hurry up and call the guards to arrest this thief."

Chen Li was in a dilemma, so she stepped forward and pulled Wu Lili, who had suddenly started throwing a tantrum.

"Lily, stop fooling around. How could this comrade be a thief—"

He would have been fine if he hadn't spoken, but the moment he spoke up to defend this woman, Wu Lili instantly flew into a rage.

She interrupted him sharply, "Brother Chen Li, you don't even know this woman. How can you be so sure she's not a thief? I know you're kind-hearted, and if you don't want to go, I will—"

Chen Li pulled her back, frowning as if looking at some unreasonable little girl, and said helplessly,

"Lily, let's hurry back. Auntie and the others must be getting impatient. Come on, we don't want to be late."

Unfortunately, the more he acted this way, the more Wu Lili felt he was protecting that despicable woman.

Enraged, she shoved his hand away, grabbed Jiang Yuyan's hand, and pulled her outside. "Come with me! I'll take you to the police station right now, humph!"

Jiang Yuyan impatiently brushed her hand away, rubbing her wrist where it had been gripped sorely.

"Are you out of your mind, comrade? What, do you think you're in charge here? Does everyone need your permission to come in?"

"And who are you to me? Who knows you? Who are you spouting nonsense in front of? You may talk, but I don't want to listen, you bunch of idiots."

Feeling much better after venting her anger, Jiang Yuyan prepared to turn around and leave, not wanting to bother with these two guys who looked like they had something wrong with their brains and spoke like lunatics.

This was the first time Wu Lili had been so harshly insulted. Her face contorted with rage, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She immediately stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yuyan hard from behind.

The force was too strong; Jiang Yuyan, who hadn't expected her to do that, tripped and was about to fall face down.

Seeing the stone ground so close at hand, Jiang Yuyan instinctively covered her stomach, her head, and her eyes, bracing herself for the bloodshed that lay below.

"Ahhh—"

Ling's mother and her daughters walked over from a distance and happened to see this scene. They were so frightened that they covered their mouths and screamed.

When Master Qi and Old Wu, who had been looking for her for a long time, came out to search for her, they happened to see this scene. Master Qi was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he quickly ran over there.

"Jade Smoke—"
