Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Shen Nian didn't have time to explain further to them.

She first inserted a few strands of gentle spiritual energy into several acupoints of the old lady, and stopped when she saw that the old lady's complexion had improved.

At the same time, on the vital signs monitor next to her, the old lady's various indicators miraculously began to rise steadily!

The doctors stared in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief as they looked at Shen Nian.

She only touched the old lady a few times, yet it had such a miraculous effect?

However, the old lady's condition has only stabilized; she has not yet completely returned from the brink of death.

"Does the Gu family have any ginseng? Bring it over; the older the better."

She hadn't expected to encounter this situation when she went out today, so she didn't bring the white radish spirit with her.

Otherwise, using the roots of ginseng essence to keep the dying person alive for the last time is the most effective method.

However, at that moment, Shen Nian's pocket rustled, and a plump, white radish spirit... no, a ginseng spirit, emerged, glistening with moisture.

It rubbed its non-existent eyes with its thin roots: "Are you calling me?"

Shen Nian: ...

"When did you crawl in?"

Ginseng Spirit: "This morning, since you always go out without me, I just sneaked in by myself."

It can't be said that Shen Nian didn't bring it.

The main question is, who would actually carry a ginseng root with them when they go out?

It's not like a dog that needs to be taken for a walk.

Moreover, Shen Nian had been keeping it in the vegetable garden to rest for the past few days, and Shen Nian had almost forgotten about the existence of this little devil.

The doctor standing to the side looked at Shen Nian and the radish spirit with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Why is Miss Shen talking to a radish?!

Shen Nian: "You've come at the right time. Lend me a piece of root; I need to save someone."

The ginseng spirit looked down at the old lady on the bed and said, "With my cultivation level, she won't need a whole ginseng root. I'll just share a wisp of medicinal energy with her."

Then, it jumped onto the old lady, extended a thin root and brought it to the old lady's nose to deliver the medicine, before climbing back onto Shen Nian.

Then Gu Yuncheng picked him up out of curiosity.

Shen Nian took out a talisman from her sleeve and chanted a spell in a clear voice.

The talisman radiated golden light, instantly dispelling the evil spirits that clung to the old lady.

The doctors' eyelids twitched, and they looked at everything in front of them with a mixture of shock and disbelief.

Following the talking radish spirit, Miss Shen has actually started performing magic and chanting spells?

Where exactly did President Gu find this master?

Can it really save the old lady?

Some people looked at Gu Qiwen and Gu Yuncheng, only to see that the two of them were intently watching Shen Nian's movements.

The young master's eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration.

But there was something deeper in President Gu's eyes.

They couldn't see through it, nor dared to guess.

Although the runes slowly dissipated in the air, the old lady's stats had completely returned to normal.

Her face was rosy, her breathing was steady, and her eyeballs were moving slightly under her eyelids; she was about to wake up from her coma.

One doctor exclaimed, "This is simply...a medical miracle."

"May I ask, Miss Shen, what method was used to save the old lady just now? Was it a method of traditional Chinese medicine?"

Shen Nian withdrew her hand and said calmly, "It's just a little magic. You can't use it."

In the past, these doctors, who had received top-notch global education and firmly believed in materialism, would not have believed this explanation.

But ever since they witnessed her talking to the ginseng spirit, these people felt their worldview was beginning to crumble.

The old lady slowly opened her eyes and saw Shen Nian standing by her bedside, dressed in a light gray dress.

"Are you alright? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Her appearance was so otherworldly, unlike that of an ordinary person. Although the old lady had seen her photos and videos in the reports of the Gu family's banquet, she was still stunned by this sight.

"You are... Shen Nian, right? You're the one who saved me just now."

It is a declarative sentence, not a question.

Just now, the old lady felt as if she were trapped in a pitch-black place, her whole body was ice-cold, as if countless hands were dragging her down to hell.

Suddenly, a golden talisman was cast, dispelling all evil spirits. The old lady felt a sense of relief and a warm sensation wash over her.

Then she was guided away from that place by the runes.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her own grandson and Shen Nian.

Shen Nian had saved Gu Yuncheng, and Old Madam Gu knew that she had a special ability, so without needing to say anything, she knew that the person who saved her was Shen Nian.

Shen Nian nodded, then stepped aside.

Gu Yuncheng rushed to Grandma Gu's bedside and said, "Grandma, you scared me to death!"

Grandma Gu gave him a helpless look: "Get up, what kind of behavior is this? I'm fine, aren't I?"

"But the doctor just said your condition is very bad."

He looked at Shen Nian: "By the way, Master, can you tell why my grandmother...?"

"I'm still looking."

Shen Nian glanced around the old lady's room.

The ginseng spirit finally escaped Gu Yuncheng's clutches and sat wobbly on Shen Nian's shoulder, helping her search.

"There."

The little ginseng spirit's whiskers pointed in one direction.

Naturally born or raised spirits often possess stronger and more acute perception abilities than human cultivators.

Shen Nian walked in the direction it pointed, and there was an antique cabinet.

She deftly lifted a white jade statue and asked, "Where did this statue come from?"

Madam Gu narrowed her eyes and said, "This is... a gift from my second wife last month. She said she saw it at an auction, thought the craftsmanship was exquisite, and sent it to me."

The craftsmanship is indeed exquisite.

The face of the statue was so lifelike that it was almost indistinguishable from a real person.

Shen Nian took out a talisman and covered the face of the statue, saying calmly, "It's best not to bring a nameless and pathless statue home."

An unnamed statue is the most suitable vessel for evil spirits to reside in.

Fortunately, the old lady simply placed it on the antique shelf and did not make a special offering to it.

Otherwise, even if a god came today, he couldn't save the old woman.

Gu Yuncheng asked, "Brother, do you think it's the second branch of the family trying to harm Grandma?"

The statue was bought by the second wife, and there is quite a bit of discord among the second wife's family.

but……

Shen Nian said, "The evil spirits may have appeared later, and may not have been in the statue from the beginning."

Therefore, it cannot be definitively determined that it was done by the second wife.

Madam Gu sighed heavily.

"These people are so eager for me to die so they can divide up their inheritance."

"Spread the word that I am seriously ill, but don't mention that I am still recovering. You know what to do next."

It all depends on which family loses their composure and jumps out first.

Gu Qiwen is good at this kind of thing, so the old lady can rest assured that he will investigate.

"As for you..."

She looked at the doctors around her.

The doctors understood perfectly and said, "Don't worry, Madam, we know what we should and shouldn't say."

If necessary, they can also help cover things up.

"Good girl, thank you for saving me today. Whatever reward you want, as long as my family can afford it..."

Shen Nian wanted to say no, but before she could finish speaking, the fragment of the Heavenly Book in her sea of ​​consciousness suddenly lit up.

One of the fragments of the Heavenly Book is indeed in the Gu family.

Shen Nian said, "I need to find something at the Gu family's place."

"Okay, whatever you say."

The old lady smiled and said, "But why did you all come together today?"

Gu Yuncheng looked at Shen Nian, then at Gu Qiwen.

Gu Qiwen coughed lightly: "Actually, we came here today to discuss our marriage with you."

The old lady's usually composed expression, which remained unchanged even in the face of a collapsing mountain, cracked instantly.

She wondered if she could hear wrong, and asked again incredulously, "Who...and who?"
